The MayflOwer Mine

A controlling interest in the
Consolidated Mayhower Mines Co.
operating at Pioneer fifty five miles
south of Gold6eld, has been ac
qulred by group of business men
and mine operators whose names
are identified with large enterprises
IN Nevada and California. The
treasury of the company has been
supplied with liberal funds for
mine development and enlargement
of the mill, and steps will be taken
at once to open the mine at once
on a broad scale and to attain capa-
city production. The Maynower
mine was wildly known during the
period OF the pioneer boom, when
It was producing ore of a high
grade.
As a preliminary step to the
transfer OF control, an exhaustive
sampling and examination of the
mine was made by two mining en-
gineers and geologist, who spent
over a week at this work. X COM
plete report on the property les
been prepared by ]. b. Kendall,
accompanied BY list OF assay re-
turns that shcw good average val
ues throughout the property.
One of the men chiefly interested
in the new control is ] II, Miller
OF wthorne, wealthy mining
man and merchant and owner of
the famans Luckyboy mine With
him on the board Of directors will
be w ] Tobin, who has been
president of the company and un-
der whose personal management a
large tonnage of ore has been de
veloped. Operations of the com
pany are to be i'll charge of Joseph
b. Kendall one of the most widely
known mine managers in Nevada
and who for number OF years was
general mine superintendent of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines Com
many. Other directors and officers
will be men of equally good stand
ing.
Records of former operations on
The May1ower property show net
bullion production of S15S 900 from
the milling of II 055 tons of ore.
One ore body opened between the
20C and 800 foot levels produced
10, 000 tons of S14 ore and a Wine
sunk from the 400 foot level is said
to have been i'll good ore for so feet.
The first fifteen feet of this
Wine broke three feet of S25 ore
and for the remaining depth the
ore assayed from S. to S12 per ton.
The vein has not been cut on the
500 foot level and it is planned to
drive a crysscut at this depth to the
vein, below the winze, and to ex.
tend drifts north and south
Mr.. Kendall says: The pro-
perty has never mad fair chance,
as money which should have gone
into development was diverted to
/ pay for construction new equip
ment, litigation and settlements of
/ judgments against the property
Il is worthy of eXtensive prospect
ing and developing along conser-
vative lines. There is no doubt of
! discovering large bodies of milling
ore with occasional bodies of high
grade ore. -
Plans for expansion in develop
ment and for increasing he milling
capacity are TO be put into effect
as rapidly as possible according TO

Her arm pressed more closely about

1t isn't what you've said, not what

paused a moment. $50 will l."
But the months passed, and Fairy
seemed content to stay quietly at home,
embroidering as Prudence had done,
laughing at the twins as they tripped
gayly, riotously through college. And
then in the early spring she sent an
urgent note to Prudence.
you must come home for a few
days, Prue, you and Jerry. It's just
because l want you and l need you,
and know you won't go back on me.
Just wire you are coming-the three
of you. I know you'll be here, since
it is / who ask It."
1t followed naturally that Prudence's
answer was satisfactory. "Of course
Wen come"
Fairy's plans were very simple.
"We'll have a nice family dinner Tues
day evening. Well all be together

bunch. Don't have dates, twins-of

He Took His Tin Hat Off.

A man staggered down the trench
with blood running over his face and
over his uniform. There was so lit

to flatten against the wall to permit
him to pass. Close behind was an
other soldier with a small red cross
on his sleeve, not Il Red Cross nurse
as they never are at the front. He
started to tell us that the wounded
man had just taken his helmet off
but the wounded man preferred to
tell the story himself. 81 just took

in town, and I've asked them to come
up. | want real family reunion just
for once, and it's my party, for start
ed it. So you must let me have it my
own way"
After the first confusion of welcom-
ing Prudence home, and making fun
of daddy Jerry" and testing the
weight and length of little Fairy, they
all settled down TO a parsonage home
gathering. Just few minutes before
the dinner hour, Fairy took her ia
| TIERS hand.
Come into the limelight," she said
softly 81 want you" He passed little
Fairy over to the outstretched arms of
the nearest auntie, and allowed him
self to be led into the center of the
room.
"Gene," said Fairy, and he came to
her quickly, holding out a slender roll
of paper. 'It's our license" said
Fairy. "We think we'd like to be
married now, father, If you will"
He looked at her questioningly, but
Understandings. The girls clustered
about them with eager Outcries, half
protest half encouragement.
"lts my day, you know" cried Fairy,
"and this is my way"
She held out her hand, and Gene
took it very tenderly in his. Mr.. Starr
! looked at them gravely for moment,
and then in the gentle voice that the
parsonage girls insisted was his most
valuable ministerial asset, he gave his
second girl in marriage.
1t surely was Fairy's way, plain and
sweet, without Formally. And the
| dinner that followed was just happy
family dinner. Fairy's face was so
glowing with content and Genes attl-
| tude was so tender, and so ludicrously
| proud, that the twins at last were con-
WINGED that this was right, and all was
well.
But that evening. when Genes par
cnts had gone away, and after Fairy
and Gene themselves had taken the
carriage to the station for their little
vacation together, and Jerry and Pru-
dence were putting little Fairy to bed,
the three girls left in the home sat
drcarily in their bedroom and talked
1t over.
