FEET OF $l,500 ORE
IN NEVADA HILLS MINE

The climax Of discoveries has not ye,
happened at the big mine. but an event
second only in Importance to the ex-
pected cutting of the main vein in tun-
mel No. l has taken place, and a SEN
satlonal body Of ore is now being work
ed in the crosscut that opened the vein
at a depth of sixty feet several weeks
ago. This tunnel tapped the ore shoot
$50 feet west OF the east end shaft. in
which the demonstration was made two
months ago. thus showing up the pres
ence OF a continuous shoot with a prov
en- length of $50 feet. while tunnel No.
3. which drffted westward from the
same point as No. 4, has for some time
been in ore. The entire work here
practically demonstrates the presence
OF an ore body for 1900 feet, with a
known depth OF sixty feet.
When opened several weeks & the
vein in tunnel No. 4 showed a width of
about 20 inches. the ore being high
grade with sorting. n since that time
a steady stream OF pay rock has poured
into the sacks in double the quantity
that was formerly being taken put
Recent developments in this tunnel have
been of a nature that surprised every
one. not excepting the management OF
the mine. who did not anticipate any
such results at this point.
A week ago the vein in No. 4 widened
to a maximum of six feet, and has since
maintained an average OF 4 L. feet;
the values far exceed any body of a
similar extent that has yet been struck
on Nevad Hills property, although
several shoots of richer ore have been
tapped at the west end tunnel No. 2.
From this new strike a picked assay
gives returns of s7,241, while a good
average sampling has yielded the aston
fishing sum of $500 to the ton.
The ore from tunnel No. 4 is no long
err being sorted. and the tonnage being
extracted is enormous, considering that
developments at this point have not adj
vanced far enough for stopping. which
limits the output to the efforts of a
small force of men on each shift. At
the rate the output of this mine is in
creasing now, Manager Webber's first
annual report will be something to give
the mining world an electric shock.
There has never been any such develop
ment of a mine in the history of Nevada,
and many mining men state that it is
the most marvellous showing in the
record of mining in the United States.

There is three feet of rich ore uncovered
and no walls in sight.
Mr.. Douglass is expected in camp

will decide upon some definite action as

BACKING 9 10 ORE ON JACK POT
A visit to this wonderful property a
few days ago surprised us as to the pro-
gress made. The Jack Pot group is
one of the richest properties in the

rich ore is Nick Darcy, one of the
original locators in this district. Mr..

There are now ten men at work on the
property and this force will soon be
doubled There are about $50 sacks %
rich ore piled up ready for shipment.
This ore runs from $3.50 to S700 to $500
per ton. Ore bins nave been erected and
a good road built up to the property
from Hercules, which is only half a mile
distant. AS we have already said the
Jack Pot is one of the best properties

About three weeks ago Mr.. Daniels

Martin & Williams are again making
good Roadway on the Montana lease

has now been advanced a distance of 10
feet from the crosscut. No vein matter
beyond a streak of manganese has come
in yet. but the leasers expect TO strike
the ledge almost any day. At the most.
however. they will not have to drift
further than an additional 10 feet. At

Good Roadway continues To be made
in the tunnel of the ORC Plata
which is now in about 100 feet. As be-
fore, the same streak of mixed porphry

rock is not of a hare character, and
the face of the tunnel is daily advanced
about two feet. With its further extern

The Pyramid tunnel is now in a dis

The three feet of quartz which came
into the tunnel last week showed up APP
parently well in sulphide values, for II
was sorted and about a ton or two laid
aside. A few days later this streak of
quartz left the tunnel. swinging off to
the west. This was about fifteen feet
back. The face of the tunnel was. there

the quartz. and Thursdays shooting
again revealed the streak, though this
time considerably shaker up and gran
ulated. No values are evident as yet.

it's width can be defined. and by then 1t

BADGER GROUP

From the town of Wonder, looking
southwest about one one-half miles on
the mountain sic may be seen half a
dozen tents. This is Familiarity known
as the Ross camp. from the fact that
the camp was established by Mr.. Henry
w. Ross, who is one of the owners of
the property. This property comprises
nine claims, viz: The Gold Mint Nos.
l and 2, the Badger Nos. / and 2 the
Tomony No. l, Hartha, Elizabeth Nos.
l and 2 and the Baby Franklin. Strong
lodges crop the entire length of the
property and show on adjoining claims.
The main ledge running east and west,
from thirty to sixty feet in width,
through three claims crops for a dis
lance of over 700 feet.
On the Gold Mini No. 2 a working
shaft has been sunk to a depth of fifty
feet and a crosscut run about thirty
feet in the ledge to intercept the hang
ing wall of this great strong vein.
ming $40 to $50 per ton have been found.
Eight men are at work on the property
which is being systematically developed.
The ledge has been renched every few
hundred feet for a distance of 5000
feet, and values found along it's entire
length, that assays in gold, silver and
copper $40 to $50 per ton.
Mr.. Henry w. Ross. one of the own
ers of the group, is from Grand juno
ton, Colo. His faith in the Badger
group is evidenced by the vigorous
prosecution of work there. The prop
erty is about to be incorporated. As
ISOLATED with Mr.. Ross are Walter
Phelps, of Berkeley, Cal, Jack Donnelan.

successful Samuel G. McMullin, one of
the most prominent leaders of the Colo
rado bar. All conversant with mining

The eighty acres of Fairvew Aztec territory are bounded on the
north by the estates of the Fairview Mining company and the Eagles
Nest Fairview Mining company; on the south by the Pyramid and
Smith Syndicate groups; on the west by the Fairview Eagle. Shipping
ore has been uncovered by the Pyramid and Smith Syndicate on lodges
trending northerly, straight for Aztec ground. Good values are in
evidence O the groups to the north of it. Just 800 feet from the Aztec
boundary line six feet of 800 ore has been tapped at a depth of so feet
on one of the Fairview Eagles lodges which is traceable westward
into the Aztec estate. Recent assays of large bodies OF ore developed
in the Eagle run 1881, $11173, $149S2 and $557S per ton. Eagle
stock has jumped from 60 cents to IS in 30 days. 1t should go to $3.50
before the coming winter is over. Eagle is bounded on the south by
Nevada Hills, probably the best known mine in Fairview district.
Nevada Hills stock climbed from 81 to 1926 in three months. There
is every physical indication to justify the prediction that with devel-
opment Fairview Aztec will equal Farview Eagle and Nevada Hills.

pany is capitalized at one million shares, par value one dollar, full

ACCOMMODATING LITTLE CRAB,

Kindly Turns Over His Claws to Fish
 erman and Grows Another Pair.
 Visitors in Seville see women carry ing baskets full of crabs claws. The claws are cooked and people nibble at them, more for fun than for suste- nance, just as the Russians nlbble sun flower seeds. But what is this orusta- cean? What becomes of the rest of him-especially if crawfsh, of his tail?
 As matter of fact the crawfsh has no part in the business. The carras- quenas-as the claws are called-are taken from a salt water orb, the Gelas- imus tangeri, which lives along the shores of Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Each little crab, with his one little wife, has a little cave for home; and adopting the Arab estimate of the oth- CT sex, he usually keeps his wife shut up inside the cave, meanwhile staying about the threshold himself and mak- ing a brave show with his big claws.
 When the tide runs out the brabfsh- CTS proWl along the beach looking for crab holes, Either the crab Is stalking up and down seeking what he may de- vour, and thus showing whether he has fine claws, or he is still at home, and the size of hls doorway indicates the size of the householder. In one case the fisherman cuts off his retreat by blocking his front door with mud. In the other case he digs him out. Any way, he deprives him of his pincers and sets him at liberty-to grow some more.
 Right here appears the happiest fea- ture of the whole affair, for the pincers are not torn away from the crab at all Instead he presents them to the fisher man-perhaps even with his compli- ments. It is a fact, equally demonstra- ble, that the crab can detach his claw by a muscular effort, thus making no

 Is it not time to do something for our overworked president? MT, Roose- welt has indeed ravenous appetite for work.

It wouldn't be fair to say that he was always looking around for trouble. but at least it can be said that he never shirks it when it comes
 But we are not speaking of Mir Roosevelt in particular but of presi- dents in general. The office is an overworked one. The people of the United States expect too much of their president They overload him with la bor and burden him with popularity and kindness. They invade his priva- cy They take to him matters which should never come to him except through the agency of his ministers They expect him to give his attention to a multitude of matters which should only be passed upon by his su- bordinates. They insist upon audi ences when his time ought by rights to be devoted to the consideration of important policies.
 Much of all this is no doubt una voidable, a necessary part of our pe- culiar republican institutions, and our never complained of 1t. But any one who has ever passed any length of time in the White House must have come away impressed with the beliel that the time has come for relieving the chief executive of burden which is rapidly becoming too great for any one man to carry Our country has grown so rapidly it covers so many diverse interests; it is concerned in so many problems, international national and local; it touches upon at many different points the important inter- ests of the world. that it is quite inn D ssble to expect the president of the United States to spread himself at one time over the entire continent.

THE DEMOCRATIC RENTAL,

The spread of hope among the Demo crats of New Haven is an interesting phenomenon. Can it be that the new Democratic hope is one of those con tagious diseases we have been hearing and reading so much about, or is it a natural. healthy feeling which is for some reason or other, springlng up spontaneously in hearts which have long been strangers to it? Whatever 1t is. there can be no doubt of it's ax- istence and its spread. Democrats are jumping to join the new Democratic association, and they are acting as if they were no longer ashamed to say T am a Democrat"
 What does it all mean? Time will tell. Perhaps the Democrats of New Haven will yet get back some of their power. and perhaps they are too late. Awhileago they were feeling as sad and unlucky as the actor did who said he was 50 unlucky that if he had been Lazarus and had been called to come forth he would have come fifth, But they feel differently TOW. It behooves the Republicans to watch em and count 'em.
