Progressive Group in Beaver
County Sends a Surprise
to Officials.
HIT COPPER ORE In
DRIFT THAT Is RICH
Company Was Getting Beneath
Lead Chute When Copper
Was Encountered.

The local Offices of the Progressive
Mining company have been in posses
sion for several days of some extreme
" fine news from the mine located in
the Star district of Beaver county, but
the officials have been rather reluctant
TO give out any details for publication
until they received additional word
from tho mine management. This word
was received on Monday, aud it is
highly satisfactory IN every partlcu-
lar. Some time ago in the upper work
Ings the management was working up
on body Of lead and silver ore, and
a drift was run to the east from the
station on the 150-foot level to get be-
meath this resource.
The east drift had not progressed far
until it began breaking into copper as
we'll as silver, and while it is a sur
prise, IL nevertheless is most graft
lying development. This east drift
was driven for eighty-siX feet from the
station, and at that point a full foot
of ore was found that ran both up and
down. The management is sinking n
winzc upon il. and also running an up.
raise Ia connect with the upper work
ings. Samples taken so as 60 secure
strict average of this resource assaved
10 per cont copper, 1928 ounces sill
Yer and $3.50 gold to the ton. A picked
sample Of the red metal rock gave an
assay value Of 46 per cent copper, and
the ore is extremely beautiful in ap-
pcaFance
The management figures that it will
be necessary 10 run the upraise twenty
three feet before tapping tho bottom of
the upper workings. At that point
chute Of lead ore valued at $50 aud
over per ton was encountered, with an
average width of eighteen inches
Hardly enough development work upon
the copper find has been done yet to
determine its most interesting points.
but the management hardly deems it
the same chute as that containing lead
above The next week or ten days,
however. should establish this. and the
local stockholders are awaiting addi
tlonal news with considerable impa-
thence. The Progressive is a Salt Lake
organization, and work has been in
progress most diligently all winter
with very encouraging results so far.

Ed Hoffman Deems District the
Coming Center of Ore
Production.
is GROWING FAST
AND GETTING BUSY
Former Utah Mining Man Is
Greatly Elated With the
Camps Prospect.

That there never has been camp
in Nevada during the resurrection
period, not excepting Goldfeld or Tono-
pah, that could show more activity and
more genuine satisfactory results than
Wonder at a similar age, and that there
is not another district at the present
time more worthy of generous considera-
ton on the part of the investor, was
the gist of the word brought to this
city Monday by Ed Hoffman Last
season Mr., Hoffman was superintendent
of the Carisa company of Tintic, bring.
ing that organization into the dividend
paying ranks again, and at the present
time he is the general manager of the
Sullivan & Rice properties in the Sage
brush State.
For the purpose of attending to sew
eral personal affairs in Salt Lake, and
for purchasing machinery in this city
for several properties in Nevada, Mr..
Hoffman Will be in this city for the
rest Of the present week, He dwelt es
pecially upon the Wonder district Mon
day in an interview with The Trib-
une, for in his opinion this section of
Nevada will be the banner producing
camp when everything is in full swing,
Those who knew Wonder two months
ago, he states, would have no idea Of
its present condition. There has been
a tremendous change for the better in
Just that length of time.
One of the properties under Mr.. Hoff-
mans charge is known as the Rich
Gulch, and it is located on the western
side Of the Wonder district Two months
ago, he stated yesterday, there was lit
tie or no activity on this side Of the
camp, Now there are dozen diff
opti
sacking ore for shipment, and one deal
for an adjoining group called forth
n cash sum Of $l50.000. On the Rich
Gulch group there is vein that can
be traced along its strike for 5000
feet, while along that distance its
width varies from four TO twenty feet.
For the purpose OF sounding tins re-
source avenue at depth the manage
ment is sending a tunnel into the hill,
already reaching in 134 feet. The face
of this working has penetrated one
streak of ore, thirty inches in width,
that averaged $50 to the ton, while the
vein proper has not yet been reached.
Mr. Hohman's business carries him
from Wonder to Fairview, Manhattan,
Regent, Ramsey, Goldfeld, Seven
Troughs, Rosebud and numerous other
Nevada camps, and he stated yesterday
that throughout the State he notices the
general tendency to do legitimate min
ing Nevada has made up her mind to
make good in her widely advertised
sections, and he anticipates results yet
this season that will more than com
pensate for the great amount of wealth
the investor has poured into the Ne
vada mines. Beyond everything else,
however, he expects Wonder to show a
clean pair of heels to all competitors.
The present results are extremely graft
fyinp,

COTTON IN OKLAHOMA.

Some days ago while riding Oh the
cars with a bright young man from
Oklahoma we made some inquiries
concerning the cotton crop there.
He said that on the average it takes
four acres to make a bale there.
No fertilizers are used for the crop,
the young man said. The land is all
new and the development just start
ed.
North Carolina is a much better
place to raise cotton than Oklahoma,
for our acreage here is more than
two hundred pounds Of lint to the
acre, if we mistake not.
North Carolina is a great State ane
the development here is pleasing al
the present, and all hands should lay
to and make it one of the creates
States in the Udion.

Call To a Christian Nation.

(Southern Fruit Grower, Chattanooga, Tenn.
Georgia is certainly to be congrat
ulated for having passed the laws
prohibiting the sale of intoxicants
within the state. Whiskey is DOOM
ed, and should have been condemned
by every state in the union years ago.
Examine the record, and you find that
all sorts of crimes IS per cent.
of them-can be traced to whiskey.
1t has reduced many home to pow
erty and has broken up hundreds of
thousands happy homes. 1t furnish
es the asylum with patients, the pen
itentiary with inmates and and sends
its victims to hell. When we think
of the wrecking power that whiskey
possesses, we stand amazed that a
Christian nation should tolerate for
one moment the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants.
The government long ago enacted
laws for the protection of our fish,
and the birds, and beasts in the forest;
yet we have let the American home
go on unnoticed and unprotected
from the clutches of the whiskey de-
demon. But we behold the dawn OF
new day. Other states will follow
| Georgia's example, and surely a
some time our posterity will enjoy
better things, and they will never b.
able to understand why their fore
fathers, representing Christia,
nation, could, for one moment, hav'
tolerated such a condition of whis
I, key affairs as we have to-day.

AerOnaut Dashed to Death.

Clean, N. Y, Sept. 14.-Mrs. Car
RE Myers, 33 years old, of Sprinfield,
Mass, a professional balloonist, fell
from a parachute 1000 feet above
the fair grounds here to-day and was
dashed to death in view of 5000 per-
sons.
Mrs. Myers made her first ascen-
sion here on Wednesday when she
sprained her left wrist. On Friday
she made another ascent using a life
belt attached to the parachute ira
peze as precaution. Mrs. Myers
was asked to use the life belt again
to-day but refused, saying her wrist
felt strong.
When about 1000 feet above the
fair grounds this afternoon, Mrs
Myers cut loose form the balloon
with double parachute. The wei
of canvass spread and Mrs. Myer!
was seen to raise her right hand t.
release the second parachute, hold
ing on to the trapeze rope with he
lame hand. Just as the canvas spreat
out and the rapid downward fligh
of the parachute was suddenly check
ed Mrs. Myers fell over backward
1t is believed the sudden jar hurt he
lame wrist. Her body struck jus
outside the fair grounds fence.

INTEREST IS GROWING.

Mr.. c.. c.. Moore, president of the
North Carolina Division Of the
Southern Cotton Association, did
great good by his visit to Halifax
county last week. Persons who had
paid very little attention to the
Southern Cotton Association before
hearing Mr.. Moore, have become
interested and say they will do all
they can for its advancement.
One argues himself out of har-
mony with the best interest Of the
cotton farmer when he questions
the good effect of the organization.
Mr.. Moore shows conclusively in his
addresses that since the organization
of the Southern Cotton Association
the price of cotton has ranged prac-
tically all the time as high as ten
cents, whereas it was selling at five
cents before the organization.
1t is wisdom in every man, farm.
er, merchant, mechanic, profession
al man and all to give the Southern
Cotton Association loyal support
If all will do this it will be easy
enough to maintain a good price fol
cotton the year round.
AS an evidence that interest il
the Association is growing, Mr.
Moore says that cotton holding ware
houses are going up in many countie
in the State. This is one of the mean
of the Association whereby farmer
may hold their cotton when it is nc
bringing as much as they think it
worth. The plan is simple and wi
work like charm when the farmer
and business men come together an
perfect the work.
Again we say that it is the highe
wisdom for every man, of ever
