Preparations are being made by the
Gold Crater company to sink a main
working shaft to a depth of 800 feet
and at that point to inaugurate an ex-
tensive campaign of development. Coin
cident thereto a powerful hosting plant
has been installed. The acreage is ira
versed by a number OF promising lodges
all of which show pronounced mineral
ization and pan well. The management
is of the opinion that at depth shipping
ore in place will be encountered.

THE WHALE

Blue sulphides and free gold are
showing in the south crosscut at the
130-foot level of the main working shaft
on the st. George claim of the Manhat-
tan Whale Mining company. In appear
ance the quartz resembles very closely
that carrying bonanza gold values on
Mustang and Thanksgiving ground.
Assays are secured as high as 800 the
ton. but the average grade of the ore Is
about SIS the ton, thus assuring It's
profitable treatment as soon as milling
facilities are at hand.
The crosscut is being extended with
the view of picking up a rich ore shoot
in the ledge from which the rich placer
gold on the property was thrown of,
and with the further object of proving
up the acreage at that level. Later. the
shaft is to be sunk an additional 100
feet and further crosscuts and drifts

the rock pans fairly the full width of
the drift.

more than passing favor since the early
days of the camp and a bonanza future

Chicago. Feb. 16.-The exeo,,,v.

elded today that the Susan n An

raised for the purpose OF CARRYING
on an aggressive campaign for the
enfranchisement of women, partic-
ulariy In the southern states. where
the equal suffrage movement is only
beginning. II is thought that the
southern states can be prevailed
upon to enfranchise the women In
order to keep the negroes in a mi.
nority.
There are sufficient white wo-
men I'm the SOUTH" said Elizabeth
j. Hauser. chairman OF the national
press committee, coupled with the
votes OF the white men, to keep
the whites In unobstructed control.
owing to the great strength of
that old spirit OF chivalry in the
south 1t always has been exceeding
ly hard for the equal sufrraglsts to
secure hearings before legislative
committees or other bodies OF men,
but now that the nace question
grows so heated and the fear of the
rising power OF the negroes becomes
such n haunting nightmare to the
southern white. we believe that our
movement is the one to go to their
rescue and settle the question"
