vious high marks of its bullion
producing history.
The mine report for the current
week shows the following progress
to have been made:
The labor situation in Tonopah is
improving quite rapidly; so rapidly
in fact, that the West End, like
other operating mines in the dis
trict, has had surplus of labor
for the past week or more. Many
men are 'rustling" at the two
shafts of the company for jobs, and
the mine is now operating at full
capacity, both in the matter of de-
velopment and in the production of
ore from the slopes, the maximum
shipments going forward to the
company's mill.
There have been few, if any.
changes in physical conditions at the
different development faces in the
Ohio ground and in the section
served by the No. 2 shaft, and the
splendid showings have continued in
driving the different workings ahead.

The Merrill Silver Lead company,
owning 125 acres of promising
ground 10 miles south of Goldfield,
is to be completely financed for
work on a large scale by C. E.
Greenameyer & Company, New York
brokers, as result of the recent
trip east of President A. H. Merrill.
Fifty thousand dollars is to be de-
voted TO development within "a
short time and thereafter whatever
additional sum is required to thor
oughly prove the claims will be
provided, according to Mr.. Merrill.
Before actual mining is started the
surface of the group of eight claims
will be thoroughly prospected for a
site for sinking shaft. The report
on which the company was financed
was made by j. X. Turner and in
it he says in part:
/ advise the sinking of
shaft to at least the 300-foot
point near either the hanging
or footwal1 of the main vein,
the exact location to be determ-
ined after systematic method
of prospecting is carried out.
The large mineralized zone can
then be crosscut from the bot
tom of the shaft and drifts run
along the walls to expose the
vein intersections.
Your property contains all
the mineral-bearings formations
of the district, the geogolical
conditions being identical. 1t

warrant the expenditure of the
amount of. money necessary to
follow the plans of development
as advised with view of un-
covering bodies of both mill
ing and shipping ore.
/, The formation in the district is
limestone and shale, with intrusions
of diorite, the ore being found both
in the shale and limestone. The
main mineralized zone, extending
across the claims for distance of
1909 feet has an average width of
80 feet. Cross veins of calcite, ba-
rite and quartz cut this zone and it
is at the intersections that the ore
is found Mr.. Turner says in his
report:
A marked characteristic of
the veins of this property and
of the district is the persist
ency of strike as shown where
ever the alluvial deposit has
been removed.
The ore contains gold. silver and
lead, with indications that copper
will appear at depth.
The claims have been prospected
through number of shallow shafts
and in one recently sunk 1S inches
of lead silver ores assaying $64 was
found at depth of 16 feet. With
10 feet additional depth. the silver
showed an increase of 1876 ounces
per ton, with the lead content prac-
tically the same as at 16 feet.
Assays secured when Mr.. Merrill
and his associates first became in
terested in the claims give returns
of sas high as $92 per ton when
based on $1.23 silver and 6% lead,
instead of 81 silver and five cent
lead, the prices prevailing when the
claims were taken over.
In commenting on his trip to New
York, Mr.. Merrill said there is a
growing interest in metal mining
among brokers and others who have
been deyoting all their attention to
the industrials and oil and that the
interest centers on silver. He agreed
with Joseph F. Nenzel, who recently
said that if the owners of Nevada
mines and prospects would remain
away from New York for six months
the brokers would come to them
with money for development work.
This is the first venture into miu

THE TEST OF THE MASTER.
/ More than year has passed since
Jesus spent that Sunday in Simon's
home in Capsrnaum. The crowds had
been scanned until the final choice of
the Twelve separated these from the
others and made them into the class
which their Master carried thru to
graduation. They had been sent out on
their practice trip ia which they were
to do some of the t. ings they had been
watching Him do and retell some Of the
stories that had fallen from His lips as
they proclaimed the nearness Of the
Kingdom During the trip John was
suddenly behea1ed and like frightened
birds they came fluttering back to
Jesus. And He felt deeply the loss of
this friend and cousin whose death
brought wildly before Him the sure
prospect of His own. Crossing the sea
that they might find bit Of rest and
confidential speech they met instead a
great throng to whom they gave them
selves in teaching, healing and minis
try that included the feast in the des-
ert to the 5000. These, too, were bit
ter oyer Johns fate and ready for vi
olence in return. The manifest power
of Jesus brought the demand for the
browning and the Disciples were as
eager as the rest to see it accomplished.
1t was under the pressure of such cal
that Jesus forced them into a boat anc
sent them toward the other side the
sea while he dismissed the multitude
with the promise of reply in Caper.
naum. Then He slowly climbed cliff
that looked out over the darkening
waters and could catch the drencheC
breezes on His cheeks. The stars saw
a struggle that only He and the Father
knew but presently they grew dim II
sympathy for the storm within. Why
should He die? Why not take this way
of power instead that would bring the
authority to put into operation forces
that could only come from the swayeC
scepter? Could He depend upon that
group of timid men to bring to pass
what he dreamed in the face of theii
slo Tness to understand the message
and the meaning of the cross? Was
not the only safe course that of the
assumption of all the task and the
carrying it to the completion of the es
tablished Kingdom in all the earth? 81
