HORSE RACES
. To START
AT RENO
MEET WILL BRING OUT SOME
OF BEST PONIES
IN LAND

Next Saturday the winter of the
racegoer's discomfort will come to
an end, the starting bugle will call
the sil~ken-coated, fleet-footed beau
ties from the paddock, rainbow
colored jackets will shine and scin-
tillate in the sun, and the thunder
of hoofs once again cause the blood
of the lover of the thoroughbred
to pulse wildly in his veins and
make his heart leap for very joy,
SAYS the Reno Journal.
The stage is set for what promises
tc be the most successful meeting
ever pulled off in Nevada. There
are plenty of horses, reports from
coast cities indicate a big influx of
turf lovers this week and the Reno
Business Mems association, under
whose auspices the meeting is be-
ing conducted, is leaving no effort
unspared to cater to the best of its
ability to the public and the own
erS Who, tnem, MAKE the
race meeting possible.
There are now about ESQ horses
on the ground, and still more are
expected. The announcement of a
fall meeting has been very we'll re-
ceived by owners, many of whom
would hardly have found it worth
while to have shipped here for one
meeting.
AS things are, the fall meeting
is assured of the presence of the
bulk of the horses which will take
part in the coming meeting, and
this aggregation will be augment
ed by many more which will be
drawn west by the Sacramento and
Del Monte fall meetings.

ROCHESTER PLANT,
READY TO OPERATE
{ OMBINED MILL Is EXPECTED
TO START BY
JULY 1

Relying on the assurance of the
officials at Washington that there
will be no further confiscation or
Interference with the shipping of
their machinery, the Rochester
Combined Mines company of Pack
ard state that they expect to have
the mill in running order by July
J.. The report of the company
says:
The mill will be completed by
July l and we have every assur-
ance from the officials at Washing
ton that the government will not
interfere or confiscate the next
shipment of our machinery which
is about to be made from the fac
tory.
Development of ore in the mine
is constantly proving out large
bodies of good milling ore.
More miners are being put to
work as fast as the openings will
be able to use them"
Declaring it's first quarterly divi-
dend of two cents per share, to be
paid on July 1, the meetings of
the stockholders and directors of
the Rochester Mines company last
Monday closed their sessions with
the recommendation that the next

Loses Hand Under Train

C. w. Pugh, a passenger on a
Southern Pacific train, left the
train when it stopped at Reno and
went to buy a bottle of beer. He
had a companion with him and
they overstayed and had to run for
the train as it was pulling out of
the depot. Pugh slipped and fell
under the wheels, which crushed
one of his hands so badly that am
putation was necessary.

T0NOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

The Tonopah Belmont sent to the
mill 2196 tons the Tonopah Min
ing 1850 tons, the Tonopah Exten-
sion 1858 tons, the Jim Butler $50
tons, the West End 1920 tons, the
MacNamara 315 tons, the Mon
tana LA tons, the North Star 70
tons, and miscellaneous As tons,
making the total production for the
week 1929 tons, the estimated
value being $~174,743. This valua-
ton is calculated or the gross
milling value of the ore.
Gradually the outside properties
controlled by the Belmont company
are getting in shape for continued
operations, and within a short time
the corporation will be possessed of
a series of four producing proper
ties, each with adequate mill capac-
ity to treat the ores from the re-
spective mines. The Surf Inlet mine
and mill are being operated in most
satisfactory manner, and the reports
OF the profits made at the property
have shown substantial increases
with the enlargement of operations
at the mill.
The mill at the Belmont Shaw
NUT mine, in Tuolomne county,
| California, is almost ready to be
started up, and for the purpose of
experimenting the final details of
construction and the commence
ment of steady operations, A. H.
Jones, superintendent of milling for
the Belmont company left for Cali
fornia early this week.
More delays than were anticipat-
ed have been encountered in get
ting the mill at the Belmont Wag-
ner mine, at Telluride, Colorado,
erected, consequently it Is not eX-
pected that THIS plant will be in
running order in shorter time than
& month. Unfavorable weather con-
ditions have largely been RESPONSE
BILE for the delay in the completion
of the Wagner mill.
A great deal of the work at the
local property during the past week
consisted of exploratory and pros
pecting operations, though the regu-
lar program of development work
was carried on at the several work
ing levels of the mine to open uI
the various veins and their bran
clies. The general result of the
weeks operations have been of a
very satisfactory nature, several
of the faults having been solved
and the other segments of the veins
picked up.
At the Belmont shaft, on the
6OO-foot level, the regular rate Of
progress was maintained in extend
ing 639 east drift away from So;
southeast cross-cut. This drift Is
advancing along the South vein
and at the present time is being
driven against a 1k-foot width o.
quartz carrying low values. The
objective point of 654 south cross
cut, which is being run from 63s
east drift, namely, to prospect fol
the Occidental vein, has not beer
reached, and it still is going ahead
in Mizpah trachyte, with the usua
fcotage recorded for the week.

the district situated adjacent tt
Breckenridge, Colorado, where the
Tonopah Placers company. a sub

Buys Mountain Top

An Elko man, after consulting a
map, bought at a delinquent tax
sale what he thought was 40 acres
of pasture land near the town. He
thought he had cleverly secured a
big bargain, but when he went to
inspect his purchase he found the
40 acres were on the highest point
of the Ruby mountains.

TOnOpahns Injured i'm Accident
Six Tonopah men, returning from
the Eagles convention at Ely, were
slightly injured when the car, own
ed and driven by Ben Luce, turn
ed over near Warm Springs. While
rounding a small hill at 35 miles
an hour an embankment gave way
and the occupants of the a were
pinned under 1t when it turned
turtle. After several minutes some
of the men were able to extricate
themselves and release the others.
Luce was burned about the face

representing the product of the mill
for the last two weeks in May.
The principal feature of the past
weeks work at the Ohio workings
was in relation to the prosecution
! of operations on the S00-foot level,
not only for the purpose of proving
up the Ohio orebody at this depth,
but also to facilitate the connecting
of the workings in the West End
territory property and those in the
Ohio ground.
The cross-cut from the West End
No. 2 shaft, on the 800-foot level.
is making rapid progress towards
the Ohio workings, and during the
past week, with the completion of
the preparatory work in the latter
section of the mine, a crOss-cut was
started up headed toward the first
named cross-cut.
Jim Butler TOnOpah
No extraordinary changes have
been noted at the Jim Butler Tono-
pah Mining company since lask,
weeks report was published. ThS.
regular schedule of development
and prospecting operations was car
ried out and satisfactory shOwings
are reported at the slopes and de-
'velopment workings on the vein
systems Of the company in the two
different sections of the mine.
Good grades of ore are being
extracted from most of the stopping
places on the main veins of the
Butler mine, and there is every
reason to believe that the earnings
of the company for the month of
May will be fully equal to those re-
ported for the month of April,
when over $4,000 profits were
made. Providing that the present
rate of earnings is maintained, the
Jim Butler will be in excellent fl
nancial condition and continue to
pay dividends.
In the Desert Queen workings, ON
the 4th level, the preparatory work
in west drift 401 was kept going
as usual, and excellent prograss is
being shown in completing the
cleanup of the drift, after which
exploration work in the ground ly-
ing west of the drift will be taken
up.
Halifax-TOnOpah
A good rate of progress is being
maintained at every working place
in the Halifax Tonopah Mining
company, except in 1919 drift on
the 100O-foot level, which hereto
fore had been following a narrow
stringer of rich ore. Work has
been suspended there because the
stringer got smaller and the values
became low. Raise lilo made fair
progress, but has not shown any
important development as yet.
Raise 1112 has been started up
from 11O9 cross-cut, and is follow
ing a width of quartz carrying
values. A new cross-cut to the
east, designated as No. I'LL, has
been started and is now making
good progress. Raise 1859 from
the 1900 level continued, but no
change has been shown as yet.
On the 17O0-foot level, the con-
crete bulkhead has been completed,
and work has been resumed in the
face of the cross-cut No. 1909.
Some stopping work was done in
1914 stope, which produced thet
regular grade of milling ore. =

between two of it's own blocks, and
will work the creek on a royalty
basis. The terms of the agreement
have not been announced. One of
the Denver papers, In speaking of
the new arrangements, has the fol-
lowing to say:
The Tonopah Placers company
has arranged with c. S. Wester-
man to dredge through his block
of river-bed placer north of Brock
enridge on a royalty basis. The To-
nopah own ground both north and
south of the Westerman block in
the Blue river valley. After pass
ing through the Westerman ground
which contains a portion of the
rich old channel of the Blue river,
the boat will dredge on the Mag
mum Bonum ground, which was
thoroughly tested last year by drill
ing holes with a churn drill, from
the surface to bedrock, As to At
feet below the surface. The drill
holes were put down at intervals
of 100 feet; by carefully washing
and weighing the gold contained
in the drillings a fair estimate of
the value per cubic yard was OBJ
tanned.
The company shipped gold bricks
worth about 1000 to the United
States mint at Denver about the
middle of the month. No. 2 boat is
working. this month in the rich
coarse gold deposit in Swan valley
at Snider's camp on ground which
the Tonopah company has been
operating under a lease for several
years from the Farncomb Hill Gold
Dredging company the latter
company received $79,644.62
as it's share of the profits of the
seasons work of the No. 2 boat.
The Tonopah's No. 3 boat is dredg-
ing in, French gulch about one and
one-half miles from Breckenridge
and is in good pay gravel.
AT the property of the company
in 1%onopah, a greater gain in foot
age was made during the past week
than has been recorded for some
weeks past, the development work
at the several working sections of
the mine adding a total of 1873 feet
10 the miles of underground work
ings.
The greatest portion of the de-
yelopment work was performed in
the Mizpah claim, where several
old workings have been started up
again and where satisfactory show
ings are reported to have been un-
covered.

weight of which was $500 ounces.
With the extensive development
that Is now being made on several
of the veins of the property at the
present bottom level, 1850 feet be-
low the collar of the shaft, and the
proving up of the orebodies in
magnificent proportions, the mill is
gradually receiving greater ton
nages, the report for the past week
stating that 1868, tons of ore were
broken, hoisted, and SEN to the

the mill was obtained through the
extension of development work, par
ticularly in the Victor ground,
where drifts and raises are engaged
in opening up the big veins Of the
property.
A total footage of 1877 was re-
corded during the past week, inden-
tically the same measurements that
were achieved last week, there hav-
ing been SO feet of development
work performed in the workings
served by the No. 2 shaft, and 124
feet of new ground broken in Vic
tor territory.
Preparations for the deepening of
the Victor shaft are rapidly being
made. The big pump is at the
property, awaiting the completion
of the stump at the 1850 level and
the starting of the sinking work,
which is held up until the new
water column from the bottom level
has been installed.
Mining operations for the week
cover practically the same items
that have been contained in the
previous reports, and satisfactory
81 owings have been made wherever
development or exploration work
las been carried on.
In the No. 2 shaft section of the
mine, on the 600-foot level, a con
tinuation of work in GAL west drift
advanced the heading IA feet be-
ycnd the point last recorded, with
the face Of the drift still in West
Ind rhyolite.
Other work on this level consist
ed of stopping on the Lower Con-
tact vein, which continues to meas
ure 3 feet across and to yield mill
ing grade ore in the usual quanti-
ties.
Cash Boy Cons.
Development work at the Cash
Boy Consolidated Mining company
has been retarded for the past sew
eral weeks by reason of the neces-
sity for making shaft repairs and
the preparations to bring it to
greater depth. With the latter OBJ
ject in view, a cross-cut is being
run on the 15OO-foot level to get
underneath the present bottom OF
the shaft, at which point a raise
will he run to break into the shaft
The completion of this work will
give the Cash Boy a good working
shaft and eliminate operations that
have heretofore had to be carried
on at intermediate levels, with a
great deal of tramming, hosting
and handling of the ore and waste
from the workings on the bottom
levels from the winze.
MacNamara M. & Nj. Co.
The MacNamara Mining and Mill
ing company reports the shipment
during the past week of s bars Of
bullion, which resulted from the
treatment of ores from the mine
for the past month. The tota
weight of the consignment was 49,,

Following the splendid record made
by Iowa in putting over the fourth no
erty loan issue, a campaign has been
launched by the Iowa war savings COM
mittee 10 secure 100 per cent redemp-
ton OF the thousands of war savings
hedges made earlier. in the war. Some
of those who signed pledges for the
future purchase OF war savings stamps
have been tagging behind, and the pur-
pose of the campaign is to bring all or
them up to date.

of the state falls the work of collecting
these pledges that have been left with
them. Every bank and postoffice in
the state has been provided with Off

and these will be sent out to all those
who are behind in the payment of their
pledges.
Iowa again has slipped behind sched-
ule in the sale of stamps, and the cam
paign is designed to bring the state up
TO where IL should be.
Bankers and postmasters have sig
nified their willingness TO take over the
