BIG PUMP FOR THE MERGER ORDERED

CRIPPLED GIANTS
Owing to the flooding of tho winze in the Merger, Manager Kirehin has cut down shipments from
from that property to fiffty tons daily, or enough to meet running expenses. Sleps have been taken
to handle the water on a scale that gives promise of overcoming the difficulty for all time.
Last Tuesday Mr. Kirchen bought a quintuple duplex pump with a capacity of 200.000 gallons dealy,
to be delivered in the next ninety days.
It is not settled yet whether this pump will be placed on the Victor or Merger, but as there is ample
time to determine this question before the arrival of the machinery, the management is satisfied the
question will be easily solved. The Victor shaft is down to the 900-foot level of the Merger, or at a
depth of 865 feet vertically, and is sinking at the rate of four and a half feet a day. This would place
the Victor down below the 1300-foot mark by the time the pump arrives. If the Victor at that depth
Is found to drain the Merger, the pump will be placed there, hut if the water in the Merger shows no
signs of abatement, the pump will he installed on that property.
A double-drum electric hoist, capable of sinking 2500 feet, was delivered to the Victor yesterday,
and will be Installed immediately. A motor of 150 kilowatts will arrive In ten weeks.
Contract for Big Leaching
Plant To Be Built At Luning
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. A number of fights occurred in Trent
of Shiebe park this morning when the night police detail was shifted
for the day squad. The police lost control of the crowd waiting for
tickets and the stronger men pulled the weaker out of line, while
boxes and boards were thrown in every direction.
A full df.tB.ll of police restored order. Residents of the neighbor
hood complained that the fans etole bread, milk and newspapers
from their doorsteps.

This is the first great development
of the merits of Luning as a copper
producing camp, although shipments
have been made from that district
for the last eight years. During the
1906 boom the Giroux syndicate of
Ely took up over fifty claims in the
vicinity of Luning Station and pat
ented the ground. Nothing more was
done in the way of development, but
others were busy, and they are now
going to reap the reward which they
think they see not far ahead.
Information of the awarding of the
, contract was brought to Tonopah this
. morning by E. K. Bradford, mining
engineer of San Francisco, whose
name has been connected with some
of the largest undertakings In this
country and Mexico. The Wagner
Azurite Copper company Is the one
that has placed the contract through
Frank Everett, who organized and
managed the Wagner Azurite com
pany ever since Its Incorporation.
The company owns eleven claims
at Luning, three groups of claims
near Cuprite and seven claims north
of Goldyke. At the Luning property
there Is a showing of 2Vi to 6 per
cent copper in the shaft, which is in
the footwall at a depth of 100 feet.
A cross-cut on the 50-foot level enters
an ore body 40 feet wide that sam
ples as high as $1280. Three feet of
the ledge runs $32 in gold, sHver and
copper. The ledge was struck In the
hanging wall and they are drifting
both ways In a fine face of ore. The
main base Is a contact of granite and
ordered. Steam will be used at the
outset, but it is expected that before
spring the company will be abb) to
secure electric connections, sinci il
is expected the plant will call for
1000 horsepower.
Manager Everett has sunk a well
down on the flat, where he has
twenty feet of good water, but hi
will sink this lower and install a
force pump that will send a, stream
through a mile ditch to the mine.
Men are now digging the ditch.

On the North Star Manager Chan
dler Is increasing his force as fast
as the development warrants, and
now has 18 men employed. Next
week he will put a third shift in the
shaft. Now he is going after the
vein from the 1250, where no work
was done since the days of the
Brady management. This will be
northeast and southwest of the
shaft. He has completed timbering
the winze and has started the hoist
sinking. He Is also raising up in the
old stope above the 1050, where the
ore has been of low grade, to see If
he can bring in the values again be

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. A little
spark, originating when the president
pressed a button in the White House,
sped more than 4000 miles over land
and under water, and ignited the im
mense charges of dynamite that vir
tually cleared the canal by blowing
up Gamboa dike. The Western Union,
Central and South American Tele;
graph companies made elaborate
preparations from Washington to Gal
veston, where the spark was repeated
to the cable in the Gulf of Mexico to
Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, thence over-,
land from Tehuantepec to Salina
Cruz, and then by cable to San Juan
del Sur, Nicaragua, where It was re
layed by another cable to Panama
and thence overland to Gamboa.
The Atlantic and Pacific are not
actually united by the destruction of
the dika, although the explosion re
moved the . last obstruction in the
greater part of the canal, and dredges
must deepen each line. All locks
will be working before ocean-to-ocean
navigation is possible.
Nearly every little city and hamlet
on the Pacific coast observed the de
struction of Gamboa dike today at 2
o'clock, Washington time, where the
president pressed the button. Whis
tles shrieked, and in some places
street cars stopped. Commercial or
ganizations and schools also observed
the day.

one with the impression that he s
going to see a good evening's enter
tainment at Goldfield Tuesday night,
October 14th.
The card as arranged by "Morg"
a very liberal one, comprising in
all four contests. There will be two
four-round preliminaries, one between
lightweights and one between welter
weights, a six-round go between
heavyweights and the lightweight spe
cial. "Wildcat" All man of San Fran
cisco and "Freck" Lydon of Tonopah
are billed to supply the main event
in a ten-round go, and a hot contest
Is being looked forward to by -the
fanB. Both are mixers and are al
ways aggresBive, so the fans can ex
pect a slszllng bout. The "Wildcat"
has done some splendid work In the
past and usually gives his opponent
a tough time; in fact, he is looked
on as one of the best lightweights
o" the coast.
" Lydon has been showing marked
Improvement in his work lately, and
he really expects to stop Altman, al
though a favorite. The Tonopah
'youth is in great shape, having
worked hard for the bout, and a
number of his Tonopah admirers will
back their favorite.
The preliminaries should be pro
ductive of some fast glove work.
Johnnie Morrison, who always gives
the fans a good run for their money,
meets Kid Newell, the Reno Boy,
who has lately been doing some good
milling in the northern towns. Little
Jack, however, Is in fine fettle, due
to his ball playing the past summer.
and has a right arm wallop which he
says will bring home the bacon If
he is able to land it In the right
spot. The bout between Al Zellner and
Sailor Red, welterweights, promises
to be a slzzler for action. Both are
of the slugging variety, and while
"Red" has considerable speed and
cleverness, Zellner Ib the more rug
ged of the two, and is capable of as
similating quite a bit of punishment
without flinching.
The Bix-round go between the two
heavyweights, Frank Darrah and Al
pected to be an event of more than
usual interest. Darrah, who has
shown himBelf to be very much of an
athlete while playing with the Tono
pah ball team, and who is known
as the "String Man," has been quite
anxious to meet BowerB, the Indian,
in the squared circle, and as consid
erable rivalry exists between them,
some fast and hard work can be
looked for.

dividend No. 4 and extra dividend
No. 5, after having used the earnings
and capital of the company for a
period of almost ten years to give
the people of southern Nevada a
service that is the equal of any In

general manager, "and has proven

pected during a time when much
damage resulted to railroad, tele

Manager Waterhottse's report con

"I am pleased to say that, March,
1012, showed $695.17 gain over March,
1911, in gross receipts, being the
first gain In any month over the
same preceding month since March,
1909, and a gain of $1340.65 in net
profits over the preceding March, and
being the first increase in net profits
since May, 1909; therefore, although
the first half of the fiscal year pro
duced $2271.32 less net profit than
he corresponding months in the pre
vlous year, the last half gave us t
gain of $6280.97, or a net gain of
$4009.65 for the year, notwlthstand

the past year were $861.75 less than

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10. Failure of
General Aubert to reach Torreon in
time to relieve the garrison Ib ex
plained by' the fact that most of his
troops deserted before half the jour
ney was completed. He started near
ly a month ago from Saltillo and was
25 miles east of Torreon when news
of the constitutionalist victory reached
him. Soon the vanguard of fleeing
federals was sighted and Anbert's
men fled.
It is also asserted that General Al-
vlrez's' federals fled as soon as the
first shot was fired when they were
ambushed, 30 miles from Torreon.
Another story Is that the army made
fierce resistance but the troops
ere overpowered and executed.

Into effect its order establishing a
