Belmont

Throughout the Belmont mine every
thing is going along nicely and much
new work is being done, a total of l2l
feet of new ground having been broken
during the past week. Probably the
most important developments since last
report are found in the winze which is
being sunk from the east drift from No.
I south crosseut on the l,000-foot level.
This work is down SIS feet and shows
nothing but ore on all sides and in the
bottom. The Wine has been gradually
enlarged until il is now Z feet wide
and over 20 feet long, and still the
walls are not in sight. How large the
ore body is will not be known until the
l,loo-foot point is reached, when cross
cuts viii be run and its extent deter
mined. The slopes on this ore body
above the level have proven the vein

2oo feet, and the work in the Wine
gives every evidence that the vein il

Rawhide, New, Aug. 27.-Few leases
in the camp are being developed to bet
ter purpose than is the Stinson lease on
the Royal claim of the Royal Tiger com
pany. From surface to lowest point of
exploration-a depth of 22O feet-the
leasehold is in ore, and in the sort of
ore which pays generous royalty to the
RoyalTiger company. The block is be-
ing developed through the medium of
an incline shaft, but it is the intention
to ultimately sink a vertical shaft at a
point not far removed from the present
one. In sinking to a depth of go feet
several levels have been established, in
each instance the ore body exposed
therein yielding shipping and milling
contents. The ledge is well mineralizeJ
throughout and stands true and strong
between perfect walls.

width of 4 feet and breaking to a high
milling average. Along the hanging
wall there is an s-inch streak which
yields an average gold content of 5000
the ton. For the entire 30 feet the vein
has been stripped at this level it has
been stopped to surface. A shipment of
30 tons, made some weeks ago, netted
the leasers $3.50 the ton. This ore was
sent out practically without sorting
and included in its bulk a goodly por
tion of milling rock. Had more care
been exercised in s~egregating the two
grades it would have been possible to
have raised the shipping average to
nearly 5000 per ton; but had this been
done transportation and smelter charges
would have been much higher, as all
Nevada ores are handled by railroad
and treated at smelter under a gradu
ated scale, higher or lower, in con
~formity with the assay value of the ore,

nothing of a sensational nature to re-

State to Ask Uncle Sam for
 Sub-P Postoffice at Capitol.

A sub United States Post once at the State Capitol is matter that State House officials are very much interest ed in. and to the end of securing one, secrteary of State Frank N. Julian, yesterday addressed letter to Post master Dimmick asking what steps will be necessAry to secure one for the Capitol
 Secretary of State Julian says that he does not know of any sub-stations in State Capitols, but if there are none, especially where the State House building is located at such a distance from the post office. that there should be one. The mail at the Capitol has grown to such proportions that the State is forced to employ a dray to carry the mall to the post office. At the present time the amount of mali sent from the Capitol is abnormal. and will be for several months to come Mailing copies of the recent acts. blank books for statements of the various in- surance companies, and a hundred other items. makes 1t impossible for one of the Capitol messengers. or even several of them, to take the mall to the post office.
 As all of the matter sent out from the State House goes as first class mat ter, 1t is believed by the officials that the post office department will readily agree to place a sub-station there, es- peciaily in view of the fact that the

coal dust caused the explosion. A pick was found up in the face of the upset and at the face of the heading tools were found. also In the face of the air way tools were found; while thts was not conclusive evidence that there were men in these places at the time Of the explosion yet 1t is J. M. Gray's opinion that the men would nave put away their tools on Saturday when they quit work, and they could not have gotten so near the working race ol the coal with their tools if there had been gas sufficient to cause the explosion before lighting the gas Tn reference to re-opening the mines the following rules have been rccom- mended to the company: First--That all coal be mined in the clear before being shot.
 "Second--That eachs and every shot be examined. charged. tamped and hred by competent shot firer after all of the men have been withdrawn from the mine except the shot frer, lire boss, bumpers and other necessary employees.
 "Third-That all holes be tamped with non-combustibie material.
 Fourth-That the fire boss be re- quired 10 examine each and every working place fin the mine before the men enter in the morning; that he ey anime the old works once a week; that he be required to place the date of the month at the face of each and every place with chalk; also date the old works. and where gas is detected by a safety lamp danger boards must be placed at the mouth of place and cross cuts entering place, warning the min hers of danger.
 "Fifth--That where gas accumulates In quantities to be detected by safety lamps. that line brattitces of plank or canvass be constructed in such a man. ner that a current of air will pass the face of each place in sufficient quantities to dilute and render harm. less such accumulations of gas
 "Sixth--That the mine be cleaned up and be kept in clean condition.
 "Seventh--It is recomrnended by Messrs. Hiilhouse and Flynn. associate mine inspectors. that in addition to the mine being cleaned, 1t be thoroughly watered. as often as necessary to keep down the dust.
 "Eighth--That the amount of expio. sives allowed in the mine be limited to enc days supply.

THE NEW CODE.

IL Will Re Larger Than Was Expected
 From advance proofs received from the contractors for the new State Code, 1t Is evident that the three volumes embracing the criminal. civil and po- litical branches of the State laws. will be considerably larger than was at first thought.
 The contract for the code was basod on pages, so much being bid per page and if the number ot pages run more than was expected. the cost will neces- sarify exceed the amount expected. The indications now are that tho number of pages will be about twenty per cent larger than figured on.
 There will probably be some delay in issuing the code. due to the delay in securing return of proofs. etc, and this will delay the enforcement of a number of new laws. especially those embraced in the municipal code.

MONTGOMERY IS GREATLY
 BLESSED BY FINE CLIMATE
Figures Given hy Director Chaffee Prove This.

Few persons realize how particularly blessed Montgomery is regarding wea- ther. Section Director Chafree, of the Weather Bureau, said to an Advertiser reporter yesterday that he had lived in many parts of the country. but that. taking it year in and year out, the climate of no section in which he resided, could compare with Montgom- cry. Notwithstanding that the month of December, 1907, was considered an unpleasant one as regards weather, there were only eleven days on which rain fell, while the sun snone wholly or partly on fourteen days. The tenn pegatnre for the month averaged near ly normal, the deficiency being slight and freezing temperature occurred on but seven days. the coldest being 27 degrees on the 5th.
 The rains that did occur. however were rather heavy, the total for the month being TIA Inches. which was 2.5s inches above the normal. The heaviest rains of the month were 1.s2 inches on the 18th, 1.S9 inches on the 22nd. and 1.s7 inches on the 2sth.
 The weather reports of yesterday showed that the cloudiness which then prevailed over this section was con- lined mostly to the Gulf States. An area of high barometer then central over Kansas. was giving fair and cold weather over the interior, with tenn perature degrees below zero in South Dakota. and the freezing line dipping Southward to the Texas Pan handle. It is thought that the area of high barometer would move eastward, giving fair and colder weather in this section this morning, when the temper ature may fall to 36 degrees or SS de- grees, and that the fair weather will continue here through Friday and pos sibly Saturday.
 The river reports show that the river forecasts and freshet warnings issued by the local once of the Weather Ru- reau several days ago. are being verf- fled almost to the letter. The 1tver stood at 2s.5 feet at Wetumpka yes- terday morning. with conditions fav- orable for It reaching 30 feet last night, the stage predicted by the Bu- reau. The expected highest stage for Montgomery on this rise was 2s feet; yesterday morning 1t was 2s.3 feet and still rising slowly. At Selma, 1t stood at s1.5 feet yesterday, with q pros pect of its reaching and possibly slightly exceeding the expected maxi- mum of 32 feet.
