What poor reporters most people are! & s

 And yet how remotely does the average person approach accuracy in his own reporting.
 Here is a little example which came to my attention recently.
 Last fall when I came back from my summer vacation one of the mem bers of my household said, Mrs. M. wanted to know If you'd care to be- long to a bridge club they are getting up. I told her I didn't think you had the time but that didn't really know

 ''I. suppose she will be, in to ask me-" I thought, and after considering whether I could afford the time, de- cided I had no right to let myself be tempted. >
 But I had no need to steel myself for Mrs. M. never mentioned the mat ter to me. I fancied she had hiled the club up without my help, and thought no more about 1t.
 Then, few months later, the sub ject camp Up in some way and my housem4Hat repeated what she had said befo}e. only instead of saying ''I told her didn't really know" she

| I suppose 1t really was a longer
 time, but 1t seemed only two or three
 minutes before every seat in the
 balcony and noor of the immense hall
 was filled and people. in defiance oi all fire regulations, were packed In the open space between the door and the seats.
 Then the ingress of people ceased suddenly. ''They have closed the doors,'' re- marked Dr. Petit. ''and high time, too. Wonder where they'll hold the overflow meetings. There must be 20.O0O people shut out.'' I did not want to appear nervous, but very real fear at my heart made me put tremulous question to my companion.
 Suppose a ire should break out, wouldn't there be terrible panic here?"
 Before answering he turned and swept with a practical eye the gallery back of us, and a small, round en- closed space just above us at the right in which a band of musicians were stationed.
 When Diclky Appeared.
 Yes, no doubt there would" he re- turned, but there need be no danger for us. tI would be no task at all for us to scramble up into the band stand, and from there it is but a step to an exit. We could be out of the build. ing in a jiffy.''
 Reassured, and at the same time scoring myself mentally for my sell hshness in being relieved At my own immunity from peril, when 1t might come so near to the others in the hall. I turned my attention to the brilliant. shifting. kaleidoscope of color and light before me.
 The Vast auditorium was .ablaze with light. glowing with flags and banners. From the center of the great domed ceiling to every post supporting the galleries were strung lines of American flags swaying gently in the faint breeze.
 The speakers stand. the musicians stand, the railings of the balcony, every possible place was swathed with tri-colored bunting. It was a scene never to be forgotten, and I sat re- yelling in it..
 There were a few people in the speakers stand who kept standing up and looking toward the rear as if in expectation of some one coming. They're looking for the Presidents party,' said Dr. Petit. Want to see them?''
 He took pair of field glasses from his pocket, and after adjusting them. leaned toward me and put them in my hands. As he did so his hands touched mine and our faces of co1rse, were close together. At this moment my eyes fell upon la man who was rushing wildly about the lower hoor, gazing up at the occu- pants of the raised seats. His eyes met mine just as my hands and those of Dr. Petit met in the transfer of the field glasses. It was Dicky!

Expansion in leasing operations In
the Goldfield district during recent
months has been signalized by
marked increase in the output OF
high-grade ore. While no single
lease is producing a large tonnage,
the aggregate of shipments now rep
resents a substantial income from
smelter returns and a further in
crease is presaged by the opening OF
additional territory for leasing. 1t
is shown by the final report OF the
Consolidated Mines company for the
month of August that lessees operat-
ing on that companys property pro-
duced during the month 1891 dry
tons of ore having gross value
slightly in excess of 100000. Less
ees on the Florence property are
also producing rich ore in consider
able volume and it is announced that
leases on favorable terms will be
granted in future on some OF the
best ground of the Jumbo Extension
company.
The leasing system is generally
recognized as having been largely in
strumental in making Goldfield one
of the great gold producing districts
of the country, as all the big mines
here were first worked and their
value was first demonstrated by
lessees. Many of these leases yield
ed generous fortunes to the enter
prising men who, with little or no
surface ore to encourage them, ex-
pended money and energy in explor-
ing ground in a then new and un-
tried district. Hayes and Monnette,
who are reputed to have taken over
s6.OOO,OOO from their small block
of ground on the Mohawk claim OF
the Consolidated, found nothing OF
even the lowest milling values until
they cut their first bonanza orebody.
The present revival of activity in
leasing is welcomed as good
augury for the future of the district,
as it is expected to result in the
the opening of new deposits in terri
tory that has not been prospected by
the big companies.
Renewed activity in a number OF
districts tributary to Goldfield is
attracting widespread attention to
this region. This activity cannot be
ascribed to the advance in the price
of silver, although several of these
districts produce silver ore, as in
some cases the quantity of silver
found is negligible and in several
instances the present work is the
outcome of plans and of financing
completed before there was any in
dication of rise in silver. Districts
in which there is now marked activ-
ity include Hornsilver, Stimler, Gold

The leasing system has been
adopted by the Jumbo Extension
Mining company; several leases al
ready have been granted and are
under operation and number of ap-
plications have been received. The
leases are let in blocks 100 by 200
feet in extent and in two stories, ;"
from the deepest or 1017-foot level
upward. In this manner the two
separate ore-channels, one in the
shale contact zone and the upper
one in the vein proper, are covered
in separate blocks.
Leases in this ground appear to
be in demand, as among the appli-
'cants for leases are some of the best
known lease operators and most ex-
pert miners in the district. The
company is now sinking a winze be-
low the 1017-foot level, following
the dip of the big vein, with the OBJ
ject of exploring down to the alas
kite contact and far within the shale.
This winze is already down about so
feet and Superintendent Turner will
shortly drive cross-cuts to prospect
the vein and will drift at depth
of 100 feet. In the western part of
the property, on the 932-foot level,
a cross-cut is being driven through
the main vein.
The annual report of the Jumbo
Extension company, setting forth
the company's operations during the
fiscal year ending June 80, has just
been issued and mailed to the stock
holders. The financial statement
and that of the superintendent are
summarized in the report of Presi-
dent Charles S. Sprague, which is
in part as follows:

Information reaching here from
the Stimler district, IL miles west
of Silver Peak, is of a character
presaging an early stampede of min
ing men to that region and indi-
Gates that operations on the origin
al Stimler property are fast develop
ing a silver-gold mine of the first
Importance. This property is now
owned and operated by the Nivloc
Mines company, controlled by the
Colvin interests of Chicago, and is
under the personal management of
Harry Stimler, discoverer of Gold
field.
Mining equipment, including pow
erful hoist and compressor, is now
being installed at the main verti-
cal shaft, 445 feet in depth, and
plans are under consideration for
the early construction of mill on
the property Work has been in
progress in the incline shaft, at a
depth of 1875 feet, where an orebody
of large size and high uniform
value has been opened lately. Man
ager Stimler reports that the min
ers are breaking at this point fully
three feet of ore that will average
above $500 per ton.
The company now has shipments
aggregating 100 tons Of good ore

GRANDMA CUTS
SULPH|DE ZONE
WORK Is STARTED ON CON-
PANY'S GOLD MOUNTAIN
CLAIMS

Results of operations of the
Grandma Consolidated Mines COM
pany have been more encouraging
lately than for some time past and
both on the company's Goldfield
property and on it's claims in the
Gold Mountain district indications
point to early developments of i'm
pOrtance.
The main shaft of the company
on the Grandma claim, adjoining
the Kewanas on the east, has now
passed the 500foot point and is in
solid latte, scanned throughout
with black sulphide. This shaft is
being continued with the object of
reaching and exploring the shale
contact zone, in which ore of high
grade has been exposed in quantity
a short distance to the west.
Men in the employ of the COM
pany are now at work on the group
of claims at Gold Mountain, adjOin
ing the property of the Butte Gold
field company, on which ore of ship
ping grade has been exposed within
the past week in sinking on the
vein. Strong veins on the Grandma
company's claims here are being
prospected and have been found to
contain silver-gold ore of good
grade. The discovery on this ground
has aroused renewed interest among
mining men in this region.

vein is fully 20 feet wide here, as
shown by workings from a winze

Goldfield Consolidated
That ore of excellent grade con-
tinues to appear in the progress of
development work in the various
mines of the Consolidated company
is made plain by the latest report
OF operations, covering the month of
August. This report shows that a
number of working faces on main
levels yielded ore assaying from
$40 to $50 per ton, while it is also
indicated that development work is
being conducted throughout wide
area on many levels. During the
month the mines produced 1880
tons of ore from the company work
ings, yielding q net realization of
$19, 9,432.S0. The output of leases
yielded to the company $11,5O5 in
royalties. In addition to ore from
the mines, the company is now treat

A substantial increase in earn
ings over the previous month is
shown in the final report of August
operations of the Goldfield Consoli-
dated Mines company, just issued by
General Manager j. w. Hutchinson.
The August report also shows that
the company's mill treated larger
tonnage of ore than the July pro-
duction and that the output from
leases operating on the Consolidated
properties was considerably larger.
The outstanding feature of the re-
port is the excellent quality of ore
found at many points in the progress
Of development work, chiefly on the
main levels. A large amount of de-
velopment work is being conducted
throughout the company's mines, for
the most part in the Mohawk, Cler-
mont, Red Top-Laguna and the
Jumbo group, which includes the
Grizzly Bear mine. 1t is shown in
the August report that new expos
ures of ore of good grade were prin-
cipally on levels at no great depth
and some of these were within the
oxidized zone, yielding product that
is treated by cyanidation.
Recently the company has been
treating a considerable quantity of
failing, from the great accumulation
of this material below the mill. The
results of this operation are reported
to have been altogether satisfactory,
but some delay was caused in deliv-
ering the product to the cyanide
plant by the breaking of cable on
the big radial galloway. The COM
pany is prospecting properties else

chase, and in one instance the re-

RED HILL OPENING
DEEP LEVELS

HIGH-GRADE DISCOVERY MADE
IN ADJOINING FLORENCE
GROUND

Development work is to be con-
Quoted from this time forward from
the stations on the 600 and 700
foot levels of the main shaft of the
Red Hill Florence mine, greatly ex-
tending the scope of the company's
operations. This will involve the
exploration of the main Florence
vein in a most thorough manner on
the three main levels, as well as on
two intermediate levels and by
means of a number of raises.
Recent developments in adjoining
territory may have an important
bearing upon the future of the Red
Hill Florence. Ore as rich as the
choicest picture rock ever found in
the district has been exposed lately
in lease workings of the Florence,
within a short distance of the Red
Hill boundary.
1t is reported. that the lessees
have exposed pay ore of good
width, including seam varying
, from 10 to IA inches wide, which
carries as high as 800 ounces gold
per ton This is said to be at a
depth of about 500 feet, in the
ground embraced in the old Rogers
Syndicate lease, and at point
where the vein, and apparently the
ore-shoot, dip into Florence terri
tory from the Red Hill Florence
ground.
Drifts on the main 500-foot level
have reached a point not far from
where the extension of the bonanza
ore-shoot may be found in Red Hill
territory, and work in this ground
will be extended in the hope that
some of the rich material will be
| found west of the dividing line. AT
present the Red Hill company's
