FUTURE LIBERTY LOANS.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Delaware has ogain covered herself
with honor by having oversubscrbed
the second Liberty Loan, which was
app0rtioned as her share. Nearly sixty
millions Of the bonds were taken by.
the people of Delaware While This is
a record TO be proud Of, yet there is
fact which we must not lose sight
OF, and that fact is that there will be
another, and probably other bond is
sues TO be taken care of before the
war with Germany is at an end. There
will have Go be an organized effort for
future bond sales, and IL would be well
that lists should be mado of each buy
er Of bonds IN the FIRST and second lib
erty bond sales These lists will be Of
great aid In the sale of other bond is
I sues, and save great labor and time
in effecting the campaign. We hope
to see the farmers aroused to tho inn
portance OF owning liberty bonds. They
are in need Of considerable enlighten-
ment on this subject.

Editorial Opinion
WISDOM IN WALL sTREET.

From the New York Tribune.
The Stock Exchange is acquiring wis
dom. To check a nourishing and de-
structive evil it decided to try The
nearest thing to a panacea that exists
in this world, namely, publicity. Tho
selling Of stocks for a fan, day after
day. in manner to demoralize the
market had become a great scandal.
There was no law or rule to stop IT,
There was, in fact, much 10 be said
against stopping short sales entirely.
What required TO be dealt with was
short selling Of a certain perniclous
character, much Of It possibly Of Ger
man origin. But howg
1t was very simple. The Stock ~
change posted a rule requiring mem
bers to report privately to the clear
ing house committee the names of the
short sellers, together with a descrip-
ton OF all stocks borrowed and loaned
for that purpose The effect was pre-
cipitate and satisfying. Next morning
short selling stopped abruptly, and
there was a sudden demand for stocks
on the part of bears" who wished
to return what they had borrowed and
quit at once, so as not to be found

WILL SINK SHAFT
TWO HUNDRED FEET
GOLD MOUNTAIN PROPERTY TO
RECEIVE EXTENSIVE DE-
VELOPMENT

The Tonopah Divide Gold Mining
company has arranged to begin an
active campaign on that property
situated at Tonopah Gold Mountain
six miles from TOnopah IN the
Goldfield road. This is the result of
a conference held here between H.
G.. B%rougher, the chief stakeholder
and others who are heavily interest
ed. A contract has been let to
William Waters to sink a shaft a
depth of 200 feet on the east side
OF the mountain when a crosscut
will be run to cut n of the prom
inent lodges that outcrops on the
surface with milling values. Mr.
Waters bought a gasoline hoist yes
terday in Goldfield and delivery
will be made Monday so work may
start early next week.
This is one of the most promising
districts in the vicinity of Tonopah,
and the men behind the Tonopah
Divide have the capital and expert
ence that will demonstrate the re-
sources of that section.-Tonopah

White CAPS MILL
NEARLY FINISHED
MUCH ACTIVITY PREVAILS AT
WELL KNOWN PRO-
DUCER

Great activity prevails at the
White Caps. The mill is being rush
ed to completion. 1t will be in
readiness to treat ore about May
20. The rooster is at Manhattan,
having been brought from Tonopah
by the Manhattan Transfer COM
pany. The 13-ton casting was haul
ed as far as Spanish Springs by 16
horses, and six more being sent to
that point to assist over the sum-
init. The rooster will be taken up
to the mine as soon as the road is
repaired.
There has been splendid develop
ment in the mine this week. The
first shot in the west end of the
east ore shoot in the raise from the
fourth level gave an assay Of $3.50.
Car samples from the west drift
run SCI. Full face assays in the
west drift return 500. 1t is the be-
lief of the management that the
high-grade section of the west ore
body is just being entered.-Man-
haitian Magnet.

TOM THUMB PROVES
STEADY PRODUCER

Frank o. Wilkinson, treasurer
and general manager of the Tom
Thumb Mining company, went to
Los Angeles early in the week on
business connected with the mine.
There is a carload of high grade
zinc ore which runs 40 per cent
and better, ready to ship, and Mr..
Wilkinson says that the property is
looking better than ever before,
and that it is quite likely that the
company will do some real mining
in the near future. The directors
are all well known, conservative
business men of Los Angeles, and if
they decide on extensive develop
ment it will be because, in their esti-
nation, the present showing war;
rants it. A. M. Buley is president;
H. S.. Hassell. secretary, and j.. F.
linn, director.
The Tom Thumb lies in the neigh
borhood of the Green Monster and
adjoins the Lucky Maid, which is
another very likely looking pros
pect.-Goodsprings Gazette.

STRIKE REPORTED
IN NATIONAL NINE

Reports are in circulation in VIM
nemucca that ar important strike
of high-grade has been made in the
property of the National Mines COM
pany at National. AS the reports
go, the strike was made in the new
shaft which has been sunk to a
depth of 500 feet below the level
of No. 5 tunnel which would give
a depth of approximately 100 feet
on the dip of the vein. 1t is said
that the ore is as rich as that which
"a found in such large quantity
in this property during the years,
1909, 1910 and 1911, when the
production mounted into the mil
lions.
The report of this latest strike
cannot be verified from Official
The news was brought to

GOLD CRATER NOW
BEING RwtORGAN|zEO
STRONG COMPANY WILL TAKE
OVER PROMISING
PROSPECTS

n property of the Manhattan
Gold Crater Mining company, which
was lost to the company several
years ago, has been redeemed by a
reorganized company Of the same
name by the levy of an assessment
on the stock of the old company and
1t is the intention of C. F.. Witten-
berg and l.. l.. Mushett, who are
the heaviest stockholders, to COM
mence active operations as quickly
as possible.
The old company shaft, which has
a vertical depth of $50 feet is in
good shape, and the old gasoline rig
has been replaced by an electric
hoist and it is the intention to in
stall an air compressor in order to
make rapid work possible.
There is a very large tonnage of
mill ore blocked out above the 80
foot level and as soon as this ore
is developed on the $50 level, a mill
similer to the Wittenburg & Mus
hett mill on the Big Pine will be
installed, which should insure divi-
dends for several years.
The ore is an oxidized calcareous
schist, with an ever distribution of
values throughout the zone of an
enrichment, and is developed to a
width of nearly SO feet and over
100 feet in length, with almost GER
tain probabilities several hundred
feet will be added to the length as
determined by surface work along
the strike of the one.
Some years ago the property was
examined and most favorably re-
ported on by DR.. Simon of Lon
don, which resulted in an option
being given to an English syndicate
for $225,0 900. This deal was not
contaminated, on account of the
war;, but good faith was shown by
the syndicate as they had started
work and sunk the shaft from the
SO-foot level to a depth of 1876 feet
before the war started Manhattan

1T is A u WORLD

Stewart Meyers in the court house
has a toy dog. He keeps it in his
office. Everybody knows Stewards
dog. 1t is about four inches high
One ear hangs down and the other
stands up. 1t has n a open all
the time. It's name is Sphinx
because it hears and ees a great
deal, but never speaks-which is
just as well. A stranger fed the
dog a bone when Stewart first found
it and it always has a bone to pick
like lots of people it sees every
day. When the dog catcher came,
Stewart feared for his pet. The
sheriff threatened to shoot it. He
said it was rabbit it was right it
wouldn't be there. Yesterday Jailor
Bogard called the dog catcher and
told him to take the dog. 1t was in
a public place and was not tied. The
dog catcher said Stewart would have
to comply with the ordinance. To-
day the dog, decorated with a red,
white and blue ribbon, is seated at
the top of the stairs in the court
house, securely tied with a heavy
rope to a door knob. Away from
Stewart it is lonely and is shedding
tears. 1t is a cruel world. The dog
catcher has nabbed 80 dogs to date
and Stewart says if he tries to make
"Sphinx' number 81 there will be
wal in the court house.

MANHATTAN CONSOLIDATED
NOW NEARING VEIN

The Manhattan Consolidated eN-
poets a heap of water as soon as the
vein is reached. and that will be
at a not far distant day. 1t is,
however, amply provided for the
occasion. The station pump is equal
to any emergency down as far as
the 400 level and a Cameron sink
ing pump has been ordered ship
ped by express.
The shaft is down 275 feet and
at 312 a station will be cut. From
the measurements on the 200 it is
anticipated that the vein will be
caught at the face of the station.
At all events it should be crosscut
at about $50. No drifting will be
done until the 400 is reached. The
hoist motor burned out Tuesday. but

Did Not Keep Mouth Shut

John Kuhman, formerly of Good
springs, but now of the Clark coun-
ty jail, recently performed the not
unusual feat of opening his mouth
and putting his foot in it. KAUFMAN
is a n~aturalized citizen of the Uni
ted States, but is "agin the govern
ment." In the presence of a gath
ering at the Y. M. c. A., he made
the statement that President Will
son and Roosevelt should be killed,
and that if he had the chance he
would be glad to do the killing. He
was charged with a misdemeanor.
He waived his right to a jury trial
and made the plea that he had suf-
fered a brainstorm or some other
form of intoXication since commit
ting the offense and had no memory
or the crime. He was fined s25
and given 80 days in Jail. 1t has
been suggested that anyone enter
tanning similar ideas go out on the
desert and argue the matter with
n coyotes, as it would save trou-
