on and publicly announced that it
would stand by Servia to the end.
Servia itself did not recover from the
defeat at Kossovo until the nineteenth
century, and, to show how the memory
of that battle is kept alive. all through
the country which once was Servia,
even as far as Montenegro, the people
habitually wear little black caps with
red tops. The black is mourning for
the loss of the battle and the red to
commemorate the. blood which the pa
triots shed. Before. Kossovo the ma
tional cap was red.
But if they did not recover from the
defeat as nation, they never lost
their national spirit, and have not lost
it yet. even though they be under the
Austrian or Turkish flag. They re-
treated to the mountains and there
raised their cattle, goats and swine.
And every time they had half chance
they descended on their enemies.
In the eighteenth century, when
Turkey began to loosen her hold with
decaying power, the Servians shook
themselves, and a peasant. Kara
George, drove the Ottomans out in
war that lasted from 1904 to 1873. A

century their ballads were the popular
songs of all Europe.
Americans are inclined to regard them
as akin to the Turks, or think of Miss
Helen Stone and her tales of the
brigands of the Mediterranean. The
clothing of the Servians is also mis-
leading. as they wear the baggy
breeches and the little embroidered
vests which have been known to this
country only in the Midway Plaisance.
But take the same people in this coun-
act and talk like Americans. except for
those fiery eyes, in which show the fight
and determination which have made the
history of the Serb. They are on the
average, taller and more stoutly built
than most men, having centuries of
mountain climbing and little of the en-
ervating influence of civilization be-
hind them.
The Byzantine Emperor Heraclius 1
colonized the Serbs in the country south
of the Danube in the seventh century
They had previously been an independ-
ent mountain people from the Carpa-
THAN mountains, and the shrewd old
emperor placed them on the Danube to
fight the barbarians of the north. This
they did successfully for centuries, not
only for their overlord. but. after the
eleventh century, for themselves. For

then at the very break of dawn after
the dark ages, they freed themselves
and had their greatest power Then
all the Servians were one. and so they
lived through the reigns of 10 SOW
ereigns until 1916, when their king,
Stephen Dushan. conquered the whole
Balkan peninsula and declared himself
czar
That could not last He had trodden
on too many toes and the Turks planned
to annihilate his nation. The end of it
was that in 1889 the Turks won a great
victory, the battle of Kossovo (battle
of the field of Blackbirds). where both
the Turkish sultan and the Servian czar
were killed.
The Turks pushed their advantage
and forced the remnant of the old
aristocracy back until it reached the
straight up and down mountain coun-
try of Montenegro, and there the old
mobiles made their stand, carrying on
a bitter border warfare and never
bending the knee to the Turk. All
Servians point to Montenegro with

ANOTHER LEAD DISCOVERY
REPORTED FROM NEVADA

J. w. Minniss has opened up what
promises to make a big producer adjoin-
ing the old Death Valley mine. nine
miles northwest of Hornsilver, says the
GoldfieId Chronicle.
Samples of ore that are rich in silver
and lead and carrying copper and gold
in addition were brought to town last
week and submitted 10 the assayer for
a test. The returns showed AZ per cent
lead, 16 ounces silver, 5 per cent copper
and 81 in gold to the ton. The lead Is
in the form of galena, carrying silver
chlorides. The formation is dolomite lime
and porphyry, ideal for the deposition of
large bodies of ore On the surface there
are four shoots from IA inches to two
feet in extent. which appear to be max
ing together with depth.
The ever increasing demand for this
grade of ore for fluxing purposes, which
insures treatment without cost to the
producer, and the proximity of the Clark
railroad, make this valuable property,
potentially. The old Death Valley mine
was one of the big producers of that
section thirty-five years ago. Ore run
ming high in silver was mined in big
lenses which came clear to the surface,
and the mine is credited with produc-
ton of half million dollars

a few years ago. and he was no longer
able TO look after his mining interests
personally, operations became less and
less vigorous at the mine and no effort
was made To open the great bodies Of
milling and first-class ore at greater
depth. The chief owners were in their
declining years; their fortunes had been
made. and the disposition to put the
brakes on was irresistible.
The small interests represented by
younger men finally prevailed on the old
war horses to let them take the property
and arrange things so that the mines
might again be made highly productive
without in the least taxing the energies
or the purses of the old owners, and the
result has been as stated.
The company's seventy-five or eighty
acres of ground practically covers Godiva
mountain and the starting up of this old
producer is expected TO not only mean
everything to tie company owning 1t.
but TO all the surrounding properties II

Knight, who controls the North Godiva,
will be given the opportunity to open that
property through the Godiva workings
and shareholders in the latter are feeling
happy in consequence. as they feeel GER
tain that mine will be quickly made in
that territory.

FINE CONCENTRATING
ORE IN SOUTH COLUMBUS

Manager Tony Jacobson of the Column
bus Consolidated and the South Columbus,
at Alta is back from one of his periodical
trips to camp. The principal matter of
interest to him on this trip was to see
how the South Columbus ores were re-
spending to the test run upon them being
made at the Columbus Consolidated mill.
He said yesterday that he was perfectly
satisfied with the saving that was being
made and the character of product that
was being obtained. By running three and
one-half tons into one, a 10 per cent con-
centrate, carrying nice values in silver
and gold. was being made. The proba-
bilities are that, after the mill is started
again on Columbus Consolidated rock.
Manager Jacobson will take advantage of
the call he has upon the Continental tram
way to ship ores and concentrates from
the Columbus Consolidated and his re-
Gently acquired Silver King group. and
at the same time send down ore from the
South Columbus for treatment in the Con-
tinental mill at the lower terminal of
the tramway. Mr.. Jacobson has a lease
on this mill. and he believes that 1t can
be profitably operated upon South Co.
lumbus ores. At any rate. the run now
being made in the Columbus mill indicates
that such ought to be the case.
Mr.. jacobson says that work Is being
pushed on the 400 level of the Columbus
Consolidated again. and as there is only
about 200 feet between the face OF the
west drift and the ore bodies opened be-
low the 800 level 1t will not be long till

WELL KNOWN ENGINEER
EXAMINING PIOCHE MINES

F. w Clark manager of the Ophir Hill
companys properties at Ophir, and q
trusted engineer on the staff of Senator
William A. Clark, left for Phoebe last
night to make an examination of the chief
properties of the big southern camp.
Questioned as to the significance of his
visit to Phoebe and the mines surround
ing that furnishing town. Mr.. Clark said
there was nothing about 1t that could
concern the public, at the present time
at least so he felt there was nothing
for him to say. He will probably be gone
several days.
At the Ophir Hill Mr.. Clark says every
thing is running along as usual. About
600 tons of ore is being mined and milled
every month, and the whole business is
done with a force of about sixty-five or
seventy men. So immense are the ore
bodies in this property that. without in
creasing the force above the normal num-
Der of men stated. Manager Clark finds
no difficulty in keeping the ore reserves
about two years ahead of the mill all the
time.
