THE GREAT BEND.

The first shipment from this new
producer, consisting of s tons, was set
tied for at little better than 500
ton. The exact figures could not be
learned, but nearly all the values were
in gold The ore was taken out in
running short drift at the 170-foot
level, where water was encountered.
The shaft has been continued down to
the 200-foot point, where a station has
been cut, and three shifts are employed
in lowering it another 100 feet. From
this point the many big ledges which
outcrop from the surface, and that
have been encountered in crosseutting
in the upper levels, will be thoroughly
explored. The flow of water amounts
to only about 200 gallons day, but it
is certain that much greater flow will
be found when the dyke carrying the
pay shoot is again entered.
It is the intention of the manage
ment to lease the greater portion of
their big acreage, and six applications
have already been received. The COM
pany will confine their work to the
ground Immediately surrounding the
deep shaft. Under the leasing system
there is little doubt but that several
big shippers will be opened up before
the year is over. Ore that pans well
has been found in numper OF places,
by trenching and in shallow shafts,
and it looks as though all that it re-
quires is work to make some of them
shippers.
DIAMONDFIELD-BL BUTTE.
Work was started last Thursday on
company account, both on the Black
Butte and Daisy Fraction. Only a
small force of miners were put to work,
but the number will be gradually in
creased as soon as Superintendent Me-
Naughton decides ON the most advaD-
tageous place to prospect. A drift is
now being extended at the 170-foot
level from the Black Butte shaft, on
feet of quartz that assays without
sorting $15, and it is the belief of the
superintendent that a rich shoot will
be entered soon in this drift, as values
have gradually increased in the drift
from the shafs, according to the record
kept by the old management.
The old hoist will be replaced on the
Daisy Fraction the coming week, the
shaft freed of water, and then work
will be pushed on development. A
large dyke of low grade milling ore has
been opened on this property by for
mer lessees, but the water encountered
was sufficient to discourage them.

GOLD FLAT SOLD.

Milton NJ. Detch and associates pur
chased few days ago from Clay Pc
ters 305,0o0 shares Of the stock of the
Gold Flat Mining company for $12,500
cash, and thereby secured the controll-
ing interest ia the shares of the com
pany. The corporation has been or
ganized for over "a year and only a few
thousand shares of the treasury stock
have been sold. The company owns
.156 acres of ground situated some four
miles north and east of Goldfeld. Lit
tie more than the assessment work has
been done on any of the claims. It is
the intention of Mr.. Detch and asso
ciates to put u force of men at work
at once and thoroughly prospect the
big acreage, on which some very good
float rock has been found.

THE oUARrzITE.

There is more ore of high grade
character blocked out in this mine at
present than at any time in its his
tory, and shipments are being made all
most daily, both TO samplers and mills
Ever since the threatened litigation
between the Quartzite and Black Butte
was settled by the consolidation of the
Diamondfeld aud Black Butte compan-
les, the lessees on this mine have been
pushing work vigorously, the apex
question no longer being in the way.
The lease has until the first of the
year to run, and the Quartzite is slated
for one of the record leases of the
district during the last four months
of the year.

THE GOLD HORN.

In 8 few days il will be known
whether the Butler owned by this com
pany is a shipper or not. Wade and
Mansell have been working the ground
under lease for some time past and are
now erosscutting for the Ledge at a
depth of 50 feet. AT depth If 10
feet the top of an ore shoot was en-
countered, and was soon passed
through. Four sacks of ore that assay
at the rate of 5000 a ron were saved

There are now fifteen sets of lessees
operating on the ground of the Atlanta
company, and of this number seven
are on the Atlanta lode, four on the
Bear, two on the Union Jack and the
same number on the Bismarck. In near
ly all the workings quartz that pans
and assays fairly well is found, and
1T would be hard to convince any Of
the lessees that they will not be in
shipping ore before many days. One
thing is certain, and that is the com
pany is having their territory thorough
ly prospected at minimum cost. To
do this they have given liberal leases
both in time and royalties. The bese
showing is on the Atlanta, where
well defined vein as has ever been
opened up in the district is being pros
pected by seven sets of lessees. The
vein is four feet wide between two
smooth walls, and the ore assays all
the way from few dollars to as high
as $3.50. Picked pieces of the rock
in the surface trenching shows free
geld aud would assay in the hundreds.
JUMBO EXTENSION.
The Jumbo Extension company's
ground near Diamondfield will have
several shipping mines before tho year
is out, in addition TO the La Foe and
McCloskey shipper on the Gold Coin.
The shaft ON this property is going
down at the rate of three feet day,
and nearly all the rock that is being
broken in sinking is pay. Norman and
Baker, ON the east end of the same
lode, have their shaft down to the so
foot point and are crosseutting for
the dyke which they opened up on
the surface, that carried shoot of
ore assaying from $23 to $102. Otis
and Taylor on the Saddle Rock are
saving little ore for shipment. Fisher
and Golburn are sinking ON new lead
that panned from the surface.

Art treasures In churches.

According to report Just issued by

churches of France. and not the Lou
vre, the Luxembourg, the Museum de
ClLny and Carnavalet, contain the art
treasure of the nation.
II is estimated that II brought under
tine hammer the pictures, tapestries.
statues, carvings and other works of
art in the churches would realize the
fabulous sum of six milliards of francs
($1, ,200, ,000,00Q).
The little Roman church of Conques,
lost in the mountains of Aveyron, is
possessed OF treasure which was on
view at the exhibition of 1900. 1t was
OF such marvellous beauty that a syn
dicate of art dealers offered for II the
sum of 32,000,000 francs (s6,400.00o). II
contains the finest enamels in the
world, reliquaries given by the early
kings of France and Roman statues in
gold and silver. Fortunately for
France, the art syndicate did not buy
it.--Jewelers' Weekly.

IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN MAIL SERVICE

Washington, d. c., Nov, 19.-The
most important changes In the or
ganiZation of the United States mail
service were not indicated in the gen.
eral order which was made public a
couple of days ago,
A long talk with Postmaster Gem
eral Cortelyou brings out the fact
that firstclass postofices are to be
included in the merit system, and
no longer are to be treated as po-
litical spoils.
Good postmasters will be retained
in office! That is the simple an
nouncement which the public is ask
ed to take literally. No matter If the
county chairman is deposed and the
rival faction gels the organization.
No matter If the editor of the other
paper insists that it is now "his turn"
No matter what the congressman and
both United States senators say.
or course that sounds revolutionary.
II is hard dose to swallow. But
Cortelyou is not given to talking, and
behind Cortelyou is Roosevelt.
The first principle entering into Cor
telyou's reorganization scheme is that
the heads of the larger postoffices-
and that means all above the grade
of fourth class-are to have larger
powers and fuller measure of discre-
tion.
Up to this time the postmaster has
been seriously hampered by the WASH
ington department. He had to run
tremendous business, and yet could
not turn around without asking the
consent and approval of some red tape
artist in the national capital, even
to buying a cuspidor.
Then all postmasters are to be rated
in the merit plan. Records Of effic-
iency will be kept in the Washington
Offices, and every man will have a
rating. He will be either excellent,
good, fair or poor, Unless he keeps
in the first or second class he will not
hang on very long.
But where does the senator and the
congressman get off?
So far as they have been heard
from they profess to be satisfied. Set
tling postoffice fights is generally con-
ceded to be the bane of the congress-
mans life. 1t is very nice to have
spoils to distribute; Dut when there
is only one office. and the town is d.
vided into two bitterly hostile camps
over who is to get the one job, the
congressman stands to lose.
Many congressman has been de-
feated for reelection by some pestif-
erous postofice fight. Under the new
regime he will sit back and smile and
pass 1t all up to the postmaster gen.
eral
OF course, the United States SEN
ate may get Jealous of Its sacred
"prerogatives." The senate has to
CONFIRM" these appointments. If any
senator wants to protect the pork
he may refuse to confirm a man with
an excellent rating, and insist on a
henchman with no rating.
There are about 10000 postofices
which will be affected by the new
policy.

PUTTING AN END TO THE FORM

Gays We Must Wipe Out This System
Of Deferred Payments Which

Cincinnati, o., Nov I'm. e. In

Four railroad and q former director
Of the Equitable Insurance society,
says:
MY predictions have been like holy

OF these disclosures. The invesuga-
uon mad only been on a few days

of the old regime. Now what we
should do is to secure the enactment
of laws which would put an end to
this form of gambling insurance.
can call II by no more polite name.
We must wipe out this system of de-
ferred payments which create a large
surplus, The line between a mutual
insurance company and an insurance
company run for the benefit of stock
holders should be clearly defined by
law and the law enforced. An insur
ance company should not be allowed
TO work the pocus bocus of running its
affairs ostensibly for the policyhold-
ers and then twisting the business
around to the advantage of the stoch
holders"
What do you think Of the contri-
buttons Of hundreds of thousands to
political purposes?" was asked.

think should be discussed while the
public is overheated. 1t is q ques-
