RAMSEY MINING CO.

Shipping operation is under way by
the Ramsey Mining ompan on the
Rather No. 2 and everything presages
the warranted activity the great mine
deserves. Steady lowering of the in
cline shaft will be the order of the day
from now on and before many days nave
rolled around a depth of 100 feet will be
made, at which point it is the intention
to again crosscut the great ledge. This
may not be done at once, however, as
the company is anxious to secure sub
stantial depth in the mine and ascertain
the ore values at a point well down on
the ledge. The water level at the Rat
tier mine is evidently nearer the surface
than at the Ramsey-Comstock dyke, al
though a distance of about 200 feet
separates the two. The Rather work.
ings have consequently shown ore with
a greater percentage of sulphides than
ore from the big neighbor, "a short dis
lance up the hill. This fine quartz is
showing better with every foot of
depth and the contemplated shaft when
lowered to the 250-foot mark or even
deeper can be reasonably expected to
bring forth results that would satisfy
the most exacting.
DA0O NO. z
The big shaft on the Dago No. . has
undergone rood Roadway the past week
and a few days more will bring the work
to the 150-foot level at which point the
crosscut will be driven to cut the un-
usually big ledge.
The enormous outcrop above the
workings has been the occasion of sur
prise to numerous visitors TO the camp.
Here is a mountain with a northeast
and southwest trend the entire crown
of which is covered with a porphyry
outcrop. 1t would seem as though ma
ture had been unusually generous in the
liberalization of this great hill and had
endeavored to turn the whole thing into
a vast ore quarry. Distribution of
metal in the ledge was also liberal and
a systematic sampling of the huge dyke.
which occupied several weeks. gave re-
turns to justify goodly development and
the expenditure of a lot of money. When
1t is considered the ore is free-milling
and the ledge outcrops from 125 to $50
feet in width and nearly the length of
the claim the possibilities for production
are almost beyond calculation.-Ramsey

EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS
in RAMSEY DISTRICT

Much is being done to at
tention at the dyke. The Ramsey
comstock company is commencing an
era of much greater activity on their
famous mine and the result is an in
creased force, a greater output and
greatest of all, the sacking of large
quantities of high grade for shipment.
In all parts of the mine lots of work is
being done and the entire workings v
taken on the activity which the great
mine justiies. Three shifts are at work.
Night and day the miners are drifting,
stopping, sinking. prosecuting and sack
ing high grade.
On the 60-foot level two drifts at
about the middle of the ledge are being
run and it is here most of the rich ore
is being sacked. One crew is breaking
down ore in the north drift and another
is just as busy with the rich pay shoot
in the opposite or south drift. 1t is
certainly a sight for sore eyes to note
the growth of that pile OF high grade.
free-milling ore. At its present rate
of progress il will soon represent a
shipment. with good Roadway for the
second.
No lessening of the width of the rich
vein is apparent in either drift and it is
this fact makes possible sueh a large
output of shipping ore. The north drift
has been continued to near the 30-foot
mark and the ore chimney shows nearly
if not quite its full Widths feet.

standard and under these circumstances
it is possible 10 produce a great amount

CLARK LEASE LOOKS GOOD
The Clark lease continues TO show
rich ore with every foot of depth in the
shaft and the indications get better each
day for the discovery of a strong pay
streak when the leasers get down and
crosscut the ledge. AS work progresses
the ledge matter becomes closer con-
fined and has brought the richer por-
tions into arrower confines. The ulti-
mate result will no doubt be some ore
ehimneys of very rich character when
the work proceeds a little deeper. The
quartz so far uncovered is very lively
and of the most desirable character.

Iron Trade Review tomorrow will saw:
The new year opens with the market
very strong and with the confident ex-

forseen or financial events The old year
was remarkable, not only in its great
prosperity, but in the fact that stock
quotations show. in many cases net losses
instead of the advances which usually ac-
company boom periods.
1t is predicted in some quarters that
as the annual inventories will show losses

Central avenue. which is the principal
thoroughfare of the city, was for hours
a seetthing river, carrying debris of all
descriptions. The water was waist deep
and no one attempted to cross the street
except in a vehicle.
Three houses on Water street were
washed away, as also was the grandstand
at Wilmington park. At least twenty
bridges were swept down stream, and
in the lower part of the city the lumber
manufacturers lost many thousands Of
feet of lumber.
All cellars along Central avenue were
flooded to the depth of ten feet, and all
goods stored there either destroyed or
damaged. There were no trains in or out
of the city after the early morning trains
arrived on any road. The Rock Island
road attempted to send it's train out at :

Y0N BUELOW ISSUES
STRONG MANIFESTO
MOTIVE FOR ssoLvINe THE
RElCHSTAG WAS TO FREE THE
COUNTRY FROM DEPENDENCE
ON THE CLERICAL PARTY.

Berlin. January 2.-Chaneellor Won Bue-
low today disclosed the motives and acts
for the government in dissolving the
Reichstag in a vigorous election manifesto
which took the form of letter to Lieut..
Gen. Won Liebert. chairman of the man
aging committee Of the Empire league,
formed to combat the social democrats.
The chancellor explained that he had a
double purpose in appealing to the coun-
try, namely, to free the government from
dependence ON the clerical party and to
strengthen the liberal groups in the Reich
stag, SO that they in combination with
the conservatives may successfully OPP
pose the growth and destructive power
of socialism and reactionary eleriealism.
Referring to the soclalistic danger the
chancellor said:
mot only are its communistic dreams
of the future hostile to civilization Sut
SO are its means for realizing them by
mere brute force. Any tendency towards
reaction TO be found anywhere in Ger
many is due to the socialists undermin
ing the popular conceptions of authority,
property, religion and the fatherland
"The sword of Bonaparte followed
Robespierre, the simple citizen, who be-
came mad drunk with the doctrines of
liberty, equality and fraternity. Bona
parte had to come and free the French
people from the terrorism of the Jacobins
and Communists"
Repelling the intimaton of the clerical
party that the government meditated
plans against the freedom of the church,
the chancellor said that in many Catholic
countries the church was not so well
treated as in Germany. No representative
of the federated governments thought of
interfering with religious equality before
the law or with freedom of conscience. or
contemplated the exercise of pressure
against the Catholic faith. Every state
ment to the contrary was simply an at
tempt to Use religion as a means to fur
ther the interests of a political group.
The chancellor then anpounced that his
political battle cry for the time was con-
tinue the fight for the honor and pros
perity of the nation against the social
democrats, Poles, Guelphs and Centrists."
Prince Won Buelow added that he named
the social democrats first because every
defeat of the social democracy means re
ducing their blind presumption and
strengthening confidence in the steady
progress of Germany's international de-
velopment.

PLANTS AND SEEDS
ASKED FOR FARMERS
Prof. Galloway Has Scheme FOR Con-
gress BY Which Farms Will Be
Miniature Experimental Stations.

Washington, January 2.-(Special.)-
Professor Galloway of the department of
agriculture has devised new scheme of
seed and plant distribution which he hopes
to induce Congress to adopt in place of
the present method of distribution of
seed. The new plan consists in the intro
duction of new varieties of seed and
plants, together with the publication of
information bearing on their cultivation,
the seeds, plants and bulletins to be dis
tributed on the order of members of Con-
gress and to farmers whom they will
name.
In outlining the plan Professor Gallo
way has submitted to members eighteen
subdivisions, among them being:
Extension of alfalfa growing into
states where it is not now staple crop.
Extension of cold, resistant alfalfas.
Extension of dry land alfalfas.
Distribution of new varieties of cotton.
Introduction of mating plants and
their culture In the United States.
NE tobacco varieties.
Improvement of corn, etc"
In operation the member of Congress
will select certain farmers whom he be-
leves to be willing to undertake expert
ments in cooperation with the depart
ment, will furnish their names and ad-
dresses to the department which will
send out the seeds, cuttings, bulletins,
ETC., under the frank Of the member.
AS fast as new information is obtained
it will be sent broadcast by the depart
ment The farmers selected will be ex-
pected to furnish to the department the
results of the experiments, and in this
way thousands of farms Will be converted
into miniature experiment stations, while
doubtless many farmers would be put in
possession of crops and information which
will yield handsome profits.
