though the chlorides are also evident.
The quartz is feldspathic and is "bug-
holed," but the latter is due less to
the oxidation of iron pyrites than to
the pranks played by the silicious
waters in their deposition and the later
crystalization, phenomenon which is
displayed for like reasons in the forma-
tion of ice under the intensely low tenn

STIMLER BEING DEVELOPED
BY THE LEASING SYSTEM

The lease owned by Miss Pauline Ro-
denkirch and her brotherin-law, Mr..
Watson, was recently forfeited. The
shaft is down thirty-fve feet and shows
orc to the value of $50.
Coffee & McGowan have the deepest
workings in tho camp, a 175-foot shaft,
that is equipped with a gallows frame
and a fine plant of machinery. The
shaft is being sunk through the hanging
wall and has not yet cut the ledge.
Adjoining this property is the New
Eldorado lease, which recently made n
shipment netting $s1 to the ton. The
shipment was made from a tale iepcsit
encountered in an incline shaft. a vcr-
teal shaft has been sunk to pick up
this lead at depth, but work was sus
pended before tho tale zone was
reached on account of trouble among
the leasers. The vertical shaft is l65
feet deep and is equipped with gal
lows frame and gasoline hoist. On the
105-foot level the ledge was crcssent
for forty-one feet without reaching
either wall.
Tho White lease is one of the best
in the camp. An inclined shaft is
down seventy-five feet on an eighty
degree dip vein and at the bottom il
shows nearly seven feet between walls
with shipping values throughout.
In the Consolidated lease the ore
body has been opened in a crosscut for
width of thirty-fve feet. Milling
values were encountered throughout the
ledge. "ea
An assay of $l7S was obtained in the
John s. Cook lease at the bottom of thf
shaft. Two feet of the ledge runs $50
Mix & Pemberton are sinking a two
compartment shaft and intend to go to
400 feet without prosecuting. Hoist
ing machinery has been ordered.
Good Work Being Done
| These are not all the leases that art
being operated on tho Cottonwood
CANYON Mines company's 's estate, but are
all that were visited by the representa-
tive of The News during his brief stay
in the camp. Mr.. Rummell, who ha,
charge of the leases for Mr.. Vicke-s
makes daily visitation to the leasehold
and he reports that hard, conscientiou,
work is being done. with excellent
chances that many of the leasers viii
be amply rewarded.

Fourteen miners are employed by the
Kewanas company. Crosseuts are be-

bottom of the shaft and the assays are

Louis Schloss, general manager of
the company, is confident that the
ledge will be cut within the next forty
feet. Two leasers are preparing to

EHAT the actual worth in battle Of
the modern machinery Of war is
largely theoretical is admitted
by naval authorities, who also
are unanimous in their appreciation Of
personnel as vital factor an all i'm
portant factor. and in many cases the
essential factor in considering the rel
ative values Of opposing forces. The
naval history OF tie war Of 1912 proved
that with the hghting machinery OF
those days personnel counted for more
than tonnage and armament. The
Yankee navy put a llink in King
Georges armada that John Bull hates
TO discuss to this day Theoretically
the American ships OF that day en-
joyed the same chance Of surviving
conflict with the ships OF England as
the snowfall of the proyerb. What
actually Happened is history. That
history viii not repeat itself is only
theory. Precedent would suggest that
with the same kind of men behind the
guns. few inches more or less OF
armor plate. q mis6t in the relative
size OF the opposing ordnance or =
foes numerical superiority would make
little difference and that licking
creation" would be the same easy and
congenisl task for the Yankee ships
OF today as il was to that dinky little
navy OF long ago.
The value Of the ships themselves
OF speed, OF big guns. OF all the mod
ern mechanical devices Of war-is ell
a matter OF theory. The worth OF the
right kind OF personnel has been
demonstrated in actual conflict times
innumerabIe and so far as absolute
knowledge goes it may be said that
the warship with the best crew is the
best ship TO bet on in a fight.
The test Of a crews worth on a
lighting ship is in the ability Of that
crew 20 handle the batteries and to
send shot and shell TO a designated
mark, whether target. hostile fort or
ensny's ship, and to hit it, early and
often. In the United States navy the
crew that responds most perfectly to
this test is awarded trophy and the
ship flying the trophy pennant may
be considered, as far as actual expe-
rience has proved. the best ship OF its
class.
The cruiser Albany. whose crew on
Ehe Boston won the trophy last year.
The San Francisco call., 1908-05-10

The officers and men OF the Albany
proved their right to the trophy and
all that it means by their matter Of
fact acceptance of the orders that made
the cruiser a peaceship and literally
spiked the guns that had talked to
such good purpose at Magdalena bay.
They would not have been human. how
ever If they had not regretted the loss
Of the opportunity to fly that trophy
pennant in the presence OF $4,000 men
who really knew its worth.
The interest of the Iandsman in that
pennant is merely patriotic. He knew
Yankee gunners could shoot anyway.
The landsman's appreciation does not
interest Jack He knows the lands
man doesn't understand with the pre-
fessional nghting man 1t is different.
The fellows on the other ships can
shoot some themselves They tried to
win that same trophy and mean to do
it some day. In the meanwhile. how
ever. it is hats of to the trophy ship.
