ore of the English George lease an
which the mill has been exclusively
working, will go from $13 to 500 a ton,
and this cleanup was the result of ten
days run, pretty good work for the
Huntington. The output of the camp
for the ten days specified was $4,000,
and a few days previous the Wihuja
made a cleanup of 81, 500 from G1 tom
Fairview Will Build Mill.
These returns are from four leases.
just previous there was a test run made
of the Fairview ore through the Kin
dergarten mill, and before that a run
made on the Mazuma Hills ore, both Of
which ~clean-ups appropriated $l0o a
ton. The Fairview is going to put up
it's own mill for the handling of the
lower grade ore. This will probably be
a Huntington mill, for the success of
that mill on the Badger Hill has stimu
lated rivalry in the working of ore that
will go anywhere from $40 to 500 a ton.
Just as soon as the cleanup of the
Harris ore is completed, the WihuJa
lease of the Seven Troughs Coalition
will m shipping and this ship
ment promises to be the banner cleanup
of the Wihuja. Stopping and drifting
on two different shoots at the 375 Level,
the Wihuja is getting out more hlgh
grade than any lease in the camp, and
the values they are getting have never
been exceeded in the district, which IS
saying a good deal for the ore.
1t will not be long now before the
Kindergarten mine of the Coalition IS
again shipping, for the vein will be cut,
most likely before the week is over.
| When the vein has been cut, connection
will have been made with it in the I'M
foreground workings, consisting OF tun-
nels and drifts. This will mean anoth-
er big thing for Seven Troughs, for a
big gang of men will be put on getting
out the ore, and putting the Coalition
into the dividend class. The days ahea,
are full of promise for the district.

Mazuma, (Seven Troughs District),
March 25.-The mill of the London Syn
dictate is the scene of remarkable activ-
ity these days, for it is being rushed to
completion as fast as the arrival of ma
chinery will permit, and there is a small
army of workmen employed in putting
on the finishing touches. The last
heavy bit of machinery, which is the
tube mill, was shipped from San Fran
cisco on the Goth and should be here in
a week at the latest. The sampler is
now being installed, the engines will
soon be completed, and the finishing
strokes are being put On the batteries.
The Oliver filter is being put in I'M
der the direction of Carl B. Schwartze,
the expert cyanide man of the big
North Star mine of Grass Valley, who
has been here for the past week. Not
a branch of the work has been lacking
in the respect of having the very best
of men supervise it, and the mill all
through is as perfect as it could be
made by the work of man 1t is expect
ed that the plant will be ready for
operation by the 10th or 18th of next
month.
Many in the district are waiting anx-
iously for the completion of the big
mill, for there is an abundance of ore
awaiting treatment. The main bodies
of ore so far developed in Seven
Troughs have proved to be easy of treat
ment, but there has been some rebel
lious rock opened up, which will re
quire the work of the cyanide plant
So there will be ore from all over the
district for treatment when the mill il
ready from the Seven Troughs end
from the Vernon side and from the Far
rell end.
Harris Ore at Mill.
The cleanup of the initial shipment
of the Harris lease took place today
but it is yet too soon to determine TIN
re sult. Between 100 and $50 tom wers
put through, and it was so graded a
to run in the neighborhood of $50 a ton
The cleanup Of the Harris will be il
the neighborhood of $1,000.
On Saturday the cleanup of the ship
ment from the Reagan lease took plae'
in the mill of the Mazuma Hills an
was very satisfactory, amounting to
little over $4,000 for something over 10
tons. The shipment consisted of tn
lower grade of ore, the high grad
which was taken from the 300 level hav
ing received separate treatment.
On the same day the Badger Hill mil
had a cleanup, the result being g
pounds of amalgam, the cash value o
which was a little short of $4,000. TIL

Two Women Make Strike.

A big strike has been made about
six miles northeast of Rawhide. The
property is known as the Revenue group
of claims and has recently been organ
lied under the name of the Sunfower
Mining and Leasing company. The
property is owned by two women,
Misses Kimber and Howard, both of st.
Joe, Kansas.
Some samples of the ore is on *
hibitiop i'll the windows CT Oney and
Howes, the assayers. The lead is said
to be Is inches in width, and sample
assays taken from it give 642 ounces
in silver, and seven and one-half
ounces in gold per ton, the values
being silver, 1921, gold, $50; total
SAL. The depth from which these
values were taken is but six feet, and
in the short distance down, the ore vein
has widened from a small stringer to
inches.
The two ladies who own the prop
are in the real estate business
in st. Joe, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Miss Kimber, one of this enterpris-
ing couple, was out here some time ago
and made the purchase of the Revenue
group, which was afterward incorporat-
ed under the name of the Sunfiower
company.

Mint Growing Richer.
The high grade streak in the Mint
on the Coalition estate has developed
into something wonderful, and this
morning, pieces of ore that were fully
half gold were taken put. In conver-
sation with Newt Shafer, the Press
Times reporter was informed that the
rich streak had widened to a foot and
that the ore is being sacked for ship
ment to the smelter.
This lease is developing the biggest
body of high grade milling ore in the
both Slopes are being sent up in an ore
shoot varying from eight to twelve
feet wide. The screenings from these
workings sample about $l20 a ton. The
Wine at the end of the north drift is
down Is feet, and during the week has
produced eight tons of ore sampling
over 5000 a ton. Three seams of quartz
carrying specimen ore extend the full
length of the winze, and this rich ma
terial is being saved for shipment by
express. The Wine at the end of the
south drift is down seven feet, and the
pay shoot maintains an average width
of three feet, the values ranging from
500 to 800 a ton. A carload shipment
of high grade ore will be sent out dur
ing the next fortnight. A shipment of
50 ton was made yesterday to the
Knight mill, formerly known as the
Gates-Tyner mill, situated on the fiat
below town. This consignment sampled
about $50, and will be followed by 9th
ers if the results of the test run prove
Mayfower Improves.
Most important of all the develop
of the past week on the Coalition
estate, were the new disclosures in the
Marigold lease, where the great pay
in the winze has widened out to
feet at a depth of twelve feet. The
values are about the same as last week,
assays running as high as $1,000 a ton
and the entire shoot is breaking bet
ter than $500 a ton. Eleven tons of ore
this winze were shipped to the
Wednesday, sack sampling in
an average of $3.50 a ton. A

Ore in Lucky Strike.

c. Z. Jewett reports a high grade
strike on his lease, which. is located ON
the lucky strike property, owned by
the Gold Hill Treasure Mining COM
pany and situated in the south end Of
Rawhide, adjoining the property of the
Rawhide Consolidated Mines company.
The ledge was encountered by the leas-
ers, and is said to be four and one half
feet wide, carrying with it all the ear
marks of pesmanency. The ore pans
handsomely, and the fortunate pos

The south drift, which passes in the

Upon consideration of the record

CENSUS PLACES EXPLAINED.

ment Clerk Pindell of the United States
census bureau states on the subject of
the census examination. October e
that the distinction between the per-
manent census force and the additional
temporary employees provided by the
thirteenth census act is quite important
and should be remembered. AS vacan-
cies occur on the permanent census roll
they will be filled. as heretofore. by
transfers from elsewhere in the service
or by selections from the existing regis
tiers Of the civil service commission.
Persons now on the registers Of the
commission are, therefore. eligible for
appointment TO vacancies on the perma-
nent census roll but there is no greater
opport unity during the decennial period
for such appointments than here has
been heretofore Tho additional tenn
porary positions. authorized by the thir-
teenth census act, except those above
$1,000 per annuin which will be filled
largely by transfers from the permanen,
census roll, will be given to those per-
sons who pass the test examination on
October 90. Those now on the registers Of
the civil service commission who desire
appointment TO these additional census
places should take the test examination
as their present eligibility avails them
nothing In respect to appointments II
these positions The fact that a person
is on the civil service register does not
prevent him from taking this test ex-
an1ln finn.
