MIDWAY
SETTLEMENT AFFAIR

H. C. Brougher, president of the
Midway Mining Company, arrived in
Tonopah Friday morning and in an
interview with a representative of The
Tonopah Miner he said:
THE news 1 have to give out con-
corning the Midway mine is, in my
opinion, the most important during its
entire history. At the conference held
in Philadelphia a month or so ago by
the directors of the Midway Mining
Company and the Tonopah Mining
Company we settled the questions that
vitality affect our company, and that
have an important bearing on the flu
ture development of the mine. At this
meeting vertical side lines were
agreed upon between the two partici-
pating companies, and in addition to
this the Tonopah Mining Company
paid to the Tonopah Midway the sum
of s34,526.71 in settlement for ore ex-
tracted from veins belonging to the
Midway eSldtc, anu WnlSu hdNC pSOf
in controversy for some years"
Mr.. Brougher went On to say: THE
real significance of the agreement eff
fected in Philadelphia is that it abso-
lutely does away with any possibility
of apex litigation or future disputes
with the Tonopah Mining Company,
and opens the way to develop the
veins that have been in dispute for a
number of years, and which have re-
NAMED undeveloped because of this
fact"
1t has been rumored for some weeks
that the Midway has the extension of
the famous Last Chance vein from
which the Tonopah Mining Company
extracted over a million dollars. This
was probably the richest vein ever
mined in their estate and was fol
lowed by them a shor.. distance into
the Midway ground. Mr., Brougher
admitted that the m that has been
current is mining circles for some
time that the Midway had this vein
was true and stated that work would
be commenced on it in the very near
future.
The compressor purchased for the
| Midway will be installed at the earli-
est possible moment and a four-inch
air line will be put in the shaft to take
the place of the present one which Is
two inches. This additional compress
sor will supply the mine with suffi-
cient air to run ten jack-hammer
drills on the night shift and eight on
the day shift, and will enable the COM
pany to extend their mining opera
tons very materially. Six splendid
veins have been cut on the 600-foot
level, but only two of them are being
worked at the present time. Just as
soon as the new compressor is in OPP
GRAFTON some of these other veins will
be developed, and particularly the
Brougher vein, which is the same as
tue Last CHdIce vein. lHio 10 oho VI
the strongest lodges in the mine and
there is every reason to believe that it
will prove a big producer in the Mid
way just as it did in the Tonopah Min
ing Company.
The Midway mine never in its his
tory looked so promising as it does
at the present time, and as soon as
certain improvements are made and
more air supplied, the Midway will
undoubtedly become one of the regu-
lar and substantial shippers of the
camp. They are shipping every week
now, but their operations are limited
on account of insufficient air.

Two Conditions that Confront the
Farmer Requiring Careful Thought
i'm the Proper Treatment of His
Soils.
The writer visited very much
discouraged farmer not long ago.
He had worked hard and long all the
fore part of the season to get his
crops planted, only to find at this
season little prospect of profitable
yields The trouble is this: His
farm is quite level Ind the soil rather
heavy with still heavier subsoil. The
extremely wet weather of the spring
had retarded the work of planting,
and injured much of the seed after
it was planted. Proper cultivation
could not be given and weeds grew
rapidly Then the other of the two
things to be feared in connection
with such soil, dry weather, set in,
the soil baked and the outlook for
expenses, to say nothing Of profits
was, indeed slim. Another unfavor-
able factor in the soil was acidity.
The chief needs of all such farms,
and there are many of them, are
drainage and lime; efforts at prof.
table farming are in vain until the
surplus water can be speedily re-
moved, and the soil is made sweet or
at least neutral by the application of
lime i'm some form. Life is too short
and the needs are too great to waste
effort in trying to do the impossible.
While the initial cost is often a serious
consideration with a limited means,
vot if other factors are Desirable if
is good business to borrow money for
such improvements rather than to
spend a life in m-requitted toll.

now | weigh 125 pounds, and
never felt better in my life. For
years l have suffered with a bad
form of stomach trouble, consti-
patton and pains in my side and

was twice examined and each
time l was told that / had ap-
pendicitis and that an operation
would be my only hope.
81 had made all preparations
for the operation and called in
my sister to tell her good-by, as
| did not know whether / would
live to see her again or not. My
sister begged and pleaded with
me not to allow them to cut on
me and told me to wait and try
a good tonic for awhile. The
next day, as / returned from the
consultation room, l thought of
what she said, and as I had heard
so much about Tanlac. l decided
to try it and got bottle.
l never returned for the opera
ton, but just kept taking the
Tanlac. Right from the start l
began to feel better. The medi-
cine seemed to take hold right
at once.
II was so happy over the won
derful improvement in my condi-
ton that ] sent for my neighbors
to tell them how much better |

tie Of Tanlac, and have just fin
ished taking my third bottle and
