the original drifts east and west at the two bottom levels will not be carried beyond their present lengths. But af ter the erosscuts at these two levels enter ore, laterals opening east, west, north and south will be driven to the limits of the ore body, honeyconbipg the entire deposit into cubes measur- ing 200 feet along each edge, down to 500-foot level.
 The mining method to be adopted is to be a modification of what is known as the ehambering and eaving system, first conceived in the Michigan iron mines and later introduced extensive. ly into other parts of the world. One or more large-capacity shafts, as may be required, will be sunk entirely outside the ore zone and transportation drifts will be extended from each of such shafts directly into the ore body at the required depths.
 The ore is blasted and caved in large chambers and chuted down through winzes to these transportation drifts.
 This method has proven eminently successful. It consumes comparatively little explosives, and on that account is the safest possible method in protecting the miners from accident. The caving always begins very slowly an dis not attended with any danger whatever.

The arrival of the two Star churn drills ordered for the beginning of prospecting work on the Schulze group of claims, recently taken over by mum Der of Utah people, including President Samuel Newhouse of the Boston 'Consol dated Mining company and John Dern, president of the Merkur Gold Mines company, is expected daily. Next Fri day, J. C.

was established, directly in the ore body, and drifting was started east and west or approximately along the strike or course of the ore body. These drifts are very near the south limit of the ore body.
 In the west drift 30 feet from the shaft crosscut northward was start ed, to drive out into the main ore body, which is dipping north, es prev. iously explained. Likewise in ae east drift 150 feet from the shaft a cross cut was started, the two crosscuts driving into the ore along parallel lines 200 feet apart. Each is now in over 100 feet.
 At the time of Mir. Hodgsou $ visit the faces of the east and west drifts and the two crosseuts driving north at the 300,foot level were in good ore which has shown gradual improvement in the crosscuts as they penetrated into the main part of the ore body.
 President Eaton says that the two crosscuts and the west drift at the 300. foot level are in the best ore ever en. eountered, and the east drift is looking fine.
 shortly before depth of 400 feet was reached in the shaft the foot wall of the ore body was entered and the ground was found to be considerable disturbed although occasional pockets of sulphide ore were disclosed, showing that it was within the experiencing zone. At 400 feet the second level was established and drifting east and west was instituted there, the same as at the 300.foot level, but wholly in the foot wall of the ore body. As at the level above, crosscut was started uorthward from the west drift 50 feet from the shaft and northward from the east drift l50 feet from the shaft, these two crosscuts therefore being in parallel lines 200 feet apart and vertically be- low the crosscuts at the 300-foot level.
 At 500 feet the third level was es- tablished, with the extension of later als exactly similar to that at the 400 foot level, the crosscuts being vertic- ally under those at the 300.foot and 400-foot levels.
 President Eaton states that the breasts of the crosscuts at both the 400foOt level and the 500-foot level bear indications that they are ap- preaching the sulphide ore area.
 On account of the disturbed condi- tion of the rock at the 4O0-foot level and at a greater depth, and the diff. culty of maintaining the drifts therein,

BANK EXPERIMENT ONCE
WRECKED THE. NATIONS CREDIT

100 New York firms went to the wall
in one month. Every bank in the city
suspended. Congress was forced to
pass an act forbidding the Pennsylva-
MIA bank of the United States from
using the notes of the United States
bank Then the New York banks re-
sumed business. But the reckless op-
erations of the financiers who owned
the United States bank brought on dis
aster. Oct 10, 1889, it failed, carrying
to ruin 343 of the $50 banks in the
union and causing 62 to suspend for a
time It's debt to the Bank of England
alone was $23,000,O00, and the failure,
coupled with the consequent repudia-
tion of indebtedness by several states,
destroyed American credit abroad.
In spite of the assurance given in in
spired articles sent out from Wash
ington, that politics will play no part
in a central government bank, the
small bankers are apprehensive lest
the contrary prevail They can hardly
conceive that it would be in keeping
with the game of politics for any par
ty to set up an institution such as a
government bank without manning it
with politicians, as only by taking ad-
vantage of such opportunities are great
political machines built up.

TAFT is RANCHER
NEXT FOUR DAYS
President Seeks Quiet at the Western

Gregory, Tex, Oct 19.-President
Taft, after a nights rest, arose late
today and started out to the golf
links. The president arrived last
night. The house where he is stop
ping with his brother, C. p. Taft, is
miles from Gregory.
Gregory, Texas, Oct. 19.-President
Taft arrived here last night at 3
O'Clock to spend four days on the
ranch of Charles p. Taft, his brother.
Reports concerning the size of this
ranch vary from 100000 to 100000
acres, and during the time spent there
the president will be secluded from
local committees, from the givers of
banquets and from the onerous duties
of constant speechmaking.
Asked what he was going to do on
the ranch, the president replied that
for once he was going to do as he
pleased This means that he will golf
every morning; that he will ride in
the afternoon, and that he may go
duck hunting, although he does not
claim to be much of a shot.
John Hays Hammond took his leave
of the president at San Antonio yes

Washington, Oct. 16.-That the
United States has had two unsuccess-
full experiences at running banks, and
should therefore act slowly in consid-
ering Wall streets central government

bankers of the country, who are an
tagonistic to the program Senator Aid
rich has promised to promote in a
series of speeches in the west upon
his return from Europe.
Attention will also be directed to the
fact that the greatest obstacle in Can

through which all surplus deposits are
centralized in the large cities.

The year 1871 marked the first bank
of the United States. In that year
congress chartered bank for 90 years.
It's methods brought about, 1S years
later, the first bank panic in this coun-
try. Bribery and corruption in politi-
cal affairs were the dominant features
of the governments first experience in
banking
In 1917 a second United States bank
came into existence. Within a short
time it had Is branches. In Noyem-
ber, 1918, it was insolvent. Forty con-
gressmen who held stock in the insti-
tuition, however. enabled it to continue
in business. For the following five
years there was keen financial dis
tress throughout the country.
