RAWHIDE DAISY WILL
BE MADE A SHIPPER

A. X. Wheeler, one of the big owners
of the Daisy, who has just returned
from Rawhide this week, states that
in his opinion all uncertainty regarding
the future of the mine has been elm
mated, that it is only a question of
depth and development before this mine
viii be placed in tho shipping class.
He states that the growth of the
town of Rawhide and the amount of de-
velopmcnt work that is being done i'm
presses everyone, whether they have
ever been in another mining camp or
not. There is a spirit present in the
district that is hard to analyze-it is a
combination of optimism and down
right certainty. Not a leaser or oper-
ator, miner or resident, will express
other than faith-faith that amounts
almost to fanaticism-in the m The
extent of the flineralized zone, the evil
denee of ~permanency in every shaft,
the widening of the veins and the fact
that the values increase with depth
all these combine to bring the convic-
ton that Rawhide is a camp that will
prove second only to Goldield.

KEANE WONDER GETS
HIGH GRADE ORE SHOOT

ton, and the values thus far obtained
give promise of a veritable glory hole.
This newest and greatest find ON the
Keane Wonder is further proof of the
immensity of that mining proposition,
which has always been well considered
by the people of this district.
Work on the pipe line is being pushed
as rapidly as possible. They had hoped
to have It completed by May 10, but as
the pipe has not all been delivered the
time may have to be extended a few
days. AS soon as the line is completed,
the construction work on the cyanide
plant will be started. The tanks and
other supplies have been ordered.
The mill is handling about seventy
FIVE tons per day, but on account of the
inadequate supply of water, they are
obliged to lay off about four shifts per
week. By the time the cyanide plant
is in operation, the tailings, which have
been picking for six months, will be
ready for the solutions and they will
be so handled that the tailings as fed
to the tanks will all be six months old
when used, thus securing a greater per
cent of extraction. Another cleanup
will be made in a few days.

The eKane Wonder people were
treated to a pleasant surprise last week,
when they put a round of shots into
what they had supposed was the foot
wall CT the ledge and found it to be a
mass of high grade ore running from
$50 to 5000 per ton, says the Herald.
The strike was made in a winze near
the mouth of the tunnel, and until the
shots mentioned were fired, they had
believed the blanket vein was lying on
a solid wall of waste rock. When the
true nature Of the "wall' was discov-
cred they Immediately started sinking
into it and Superintendent Wilson in
forms the Herald that they have gone
through about 30 feet Of probably the
best ore that has been opened in the
mine.
Until they reach another wall or do
some lateral work, it will be impossible
to tell the dimensions of the deposit,
but it appears to be a huge mass of rich
mineral bearing rock. While, of course,
it is possible that they are sinking with
the vein, the other veins of the Keane
Wonder lying in blanket formation,
would lead to the belief that it viii be
another mammoth quarrying PROPOSE

LITTLE SUIT

The status of the litigation between
the Little Florence company and the
ooidheid Florence company continues
to be a statu quo.
The leasing company is asking the
court for the payment of moneys due
from the parent company on consign-
ments of ore, together with heavy
damages for retainder, while the Gold
heid Florence is seeking the privilege
OF raising the amount of alleged dam
ages for unworkmanlike handling Of
the property from $4,000 to 1925, 900.
During the interim the Little Flor.
enee ceased operations and the laborers
asked for their hire. The money for
the payment of expenses was alleged nv
Mr.. Keelyn to be in the possession Of
.ne parent company, but, nevertheless.
the Little Florence issued its checks
and paid of the miners. The disnute
Is growing acrimonious and neither side
feels disposed to yield an inch.

q. H. HAYES OPERATING
AT SEVEN TROUGHS

G. H. Hayes, the big Goldfeld opera
tor, has commenced work on the double
compartment shaft in the lease on the
Mazuma Hills ground. The commence
ment of work follows a week of pros
p~ecting in which ten men have been en-
gagged in surface trenching. The dis.
closure of a surface vein which shows
good paintings, led to the location for
the place for the shaft.
1t is believed hat the vein opened
up is the one with the occasional float
Of the richest kind. The shaft will be
sunk three hundred feet before any
attempt will be made to explore the
vein.

According to the best information
obtainable, the output Of the Buiifrog
district mines for the month OF April
is about $15O,OO0. The Shoshone has
been grinding out IT'S tons daily, ac-
eordinc to the management, which
means an output of $3.50 tons, or $685.
600. figuring the ore at $40 a ton. The
Keane Wonder has missed. four shifts
a week, owing to lack of water on ac-
count Of poor pumping facilities, and
counting out for the shut-downs, the
probable tonnage is 1850 tons, which
at $ls a ton, means $4,000 for the
month. The value of the shipments
from the Diamond Pueen, Shoshone and
Bullfrog Mining are estimated from
the assay values currently reported.
The Shoshone will doubtless dupli-
cate. if not increase this output during
Nav, while the Keane Wonder is likely
to be running nearly up to capacity
next month. Dine ct shipments from the
S~hoshone have been discontinued for
the present. In May, the Tramp Con
solidated probably will ship one or two
carloads, and it is likely that the Ladd
Mountain and D,>ond Pueen leasers
will also ship. -Rhyolite Herald.

Aero Club of America Asked to Take Charge
of Movement

William J. Hammer has returned to this city
from Washington. where he attended the funeral
OF Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge, who was killed
in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, Va Mr..
Hammer and Octave Chanute, OF Chicago, were
honorary pallbearers at the funeral, which was
conducted with military honOrs. They represented
the Aero Club OF America and the Aeronautic So
ciety.
Mr.. Hammer. while in Washington was request
ed by Major George o. SQuier, acting head OF the
United States Signal Corps In the absence OF Brig
adler General James Allen. who is in France, TO
formulate plan whereby the Aero Club Of Amer
lea would lead IN the movement to collect funds
for suitable monument TO Lieutenant Selfridge.
It is believed that prompt action will be taken By
the Aero Club.
Major SQuier told Mr.. Hammer that the aero
nautical department OF the army had received many
letters from all the country in which the
writer's indicated willingness TO subscribe to a
fund having that object in view, and he said he
would turn these communications to the club,

THE GUARANTEE POOL.

II was perhaps hardly to be expected that the
bankers of the country would indorse the ttenpo-
rariIy) favorte idea of Mr.. Bryan that tney owe
1t TO their depositors to create general guarah-
tee pool. the better managed institutions meeting
the losses incurred by the more recklessly man.
aged ones OF course, 1t would be pleasant for
the depositors in failed bank and for the STOCK
holders and officers of that bank TO know tnat
somebody else would have to make good their
mistakes of judgment But on What principe OF
eouity can the government step In and compel
the banks in state where losses are now neg
ligibIe to contribute their quota TO reimburse
losses In other states where banking is more or
less speculative? why should cautious and
thrifty communities be assessed for the benent
of ipcautious and thrifty ones? 1t would be just
as reasonable for the government to decide TO
compel all brokers, commission agents or middle
men In any line of trade to form a blind pool TO
guarantee immunity from loss to the producers
who get their goods sold on commission.
The savings banks section of the American
Bankers Association has no illusions about Mr.
Bryan's plan In resolutions adopted at the
Denver meeting of the association this section
declared:
That fnasmuch as any plan or scheme to make
each of these banks responsible by taxation or
assessment for the acts of one another or to
connect them with the national banking system

product of the American mind. 1t is q specious
form of paternalism and socialism II would
tend to encourage speculation and an undue ex-
pansion of credit. Therefore. be 1t resolved that
we enter the most solemn protest against en-
actment into law, either by states or the natlon
of anv principles so subversive of sound econom-
les and so revolutionary in character.
It doesn't seem to matter much TO Mr. Bryan
whether or not his scheme is socialistic and op-
pressive. The only idea he ever had in pro-
posing it was that 1t might happen to be pop
