MINING INDUSTRY
FACES BRIGHT RAY
Value of Mineral Production Increases,
the Proportion Being Equal to
Observation-Disclosures
Cannot Endure

Tomlinsons Mining Commercial
agency of Los Angeles has the follow
ing to say on the present mining sit
uation:
In a few mining sections there is
complaint that there is a dearth OF
money for development purposes.
While this is undoubtedly true in a
few districts, the mining industry as
whole is forging ahead rapidly, ana
an immense amount of capital is being
invested in many camps. Commenting
on the remarkable increase in the
value of the mineral production Of
the country since the beginning of the
new century, George Otis Smith, di-
rector of the geological survey, stated
it as being yet the more impressive
when compared with the recent opti-
mistic statement of the secretary OF
agriculture. Taking 100 as basis for
the value of farm products of 1893,
those of 1907 had increased to 1853 and
those of 1908 to 165. The figures for
the mineral production for 1908 are not
yet available, but, assuming the value
of the product of 1899 to be 100 as in
the case of agriculture, that of the
1907 mineral product was 204, or more
than double.
With both the products of agricul-
ture and the mines advancing at this
rate, it would seem that the country
as whole has little to fear from oc-
casional slight business depressions.
While these have their disquieting eff
fects, of course, upon many industries,
they cannot produce serious results
from the national standpoint, when
such stable factors in the nations life
as agriculture and mining show such
great material development.
silver Looks Glum
The price of silver of late has been
of a downward tendency, caused by
the immense increase in production
and the failure of coinage countries to
use as much as they have in the past.
The effect of the silver camps of and
around Cobalt, Canada, are being felt,
as their production is rapidly increas-
ing. The Cobalt silver production for
1908 was about double that of 1907 and
the present year will see large in
crease over that of 1908.
Several new silver camps of that
section are developing rapidly and
promise large production in the near
future, Arizona is forging ahead in
its copper production, and several
properties of that territory are pre-
pairing to erect large production
plants. Notable among them is the
Ray Consolidated, which is controlled
and managed by the Utah Copper
people, and has thoroughly tested tho

PLANS ANOTHER LEASE
ON GREAT BEND GROUND

GOLDFIELD, March 21.-Another
lease will be seen in operation on the
Great Bend property, if the expecta-
tions of Frank Taylor and S. M. Dickey
of this city are completed. The terri
tory taken includes the original work
ings of the old Great Bend company.
where an incline shaft is down several
hundred feet Within a short distance
a vertical shaft is down about fifty-five
feet.
The block takes in 400 feet along the
ledge and about $50 feet on either side,
and is what the leasers call a surface
lease" Under it's terms the new oper-
ators will only be allowed to sink to a
depth of 200 feet, but it is thought the
old ore bodies which turned out so
much gold in the early days will be
discovered within that distance, and
that by connecting the two shafts by a
huge crosscut quantity of the rich
stuff will be taken out.

INDIAN DISCOVERS GOLD
ORE WHILE rIDING RANGE

NINA, New, March 21.--Great excite
ment still prevails here and at Soda
vile over a new find of gold ore three
miles west of Nina in the foothills.
The new discovery was made by an
Indian named Bell. a range rider in
the employ of Col. Tom Pepper, the
cattle and mining king of this section.
The ore contains the yellow metal
and shows free gold all through the
rock. Everybody is hurrying to the
new find, and it is estimated over fifty
locations were made. 1t is said the ore
will assay away up in the hundreds.
The ledge is three feet wide on the
surface. This ground has been trav-
eled over for the past twenty years and
nobody ever thought of knocking q
piece off of the groupings because OF
their non-mineral appearance.
The groupings can be traced for 1000

CAT CREEK MAKES STRIKE
OF GOLD ACROSS BIG LEDGE
HAWTHORN

HAWTHORNE. March 21.-Once
more the Cat creek property of the
Nevada Consolidated Mines and Sell
ing company is in the limelight with
another phenomenal ore strike. This
in the property upon which big strike
of native copper was made and later a
rich body of gold and copper ore was
opened up on the lower tunnel, as we'll

In order to tap the vein uncovered,
the management decided to go lower
down the canyon and drive a tunnel
to pick them up. They have driven
this tunnel for a considerable distance,
encountering a blind lead, which they
have crosscut to width of ninety
eight feet.
The ore carries good milling values
in gold across the entire width of the
ledge. Great development has been
done on the property and immense ore
bodies blocked out on the different
levels

SEARcHLlGHT MILL RUNS
STEADILY ON LOCAL ORE

SEARCHLIGHT. March 21.-Thesc
are busy days up at the Homestead
Duplex mine. A cleanup of the mil
was made last week from a run con
sisting largely of the Good Hope ore
and the next running is to be from tht
lower levels of the Fraction.
The Fraction grade in the past few
weeks, from the latest work on the
500 and 500 levels, has been showing a
fine increase. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if from now on the plating will
prove to be double and possibly triple
the former values.
This does not take into account the
high grade and specimen rock, of which
on the 500 of the Fraction there has
been more than at any time since the
new company has taken hold.

Pioneer Ships Tonnage

PIONEER, March 21.-The Bullfrog
Pioneer Leasing and Milling company
shipped a forty-ton car of ore the first
of last week to the Western Ore Pur-

The fifty-ton car shipped to Goldfield
last week sampled $4,000. or nearly 500

which is as rich, if not richer, than
anything previously encountered in the
mine.
The latest reports say that the min
ers are breaking twelve feet of ore to

LAW WON'T LET
VESSEL OWNER
BEAT SAILOR

MARQUETTE, Mich, Nov. IA
Holding that sailors who ship for
round trips and who leave boats on
the completion of only half the voy-
age may recover the wages due them,
Circuit Judge Cooper, presiding in the
Delta county circuit court, has
handed down a decision of great i'm
portance to lake marine interests gen
orally.
In September, last, Wilbert Smith,
who had signed articles at Conneaut,
Ohio, to ship to the head of the lakes
and return, deserted the vessel at Es-
canada. He had worked five and one
half days. When settlement was de-
nanded, the captain refused to pay
on the grounds, first, that both under
the general maritime law and Unit
ed States statute, sailor who has
deserted forfeits all the wages due
him, and second, that that condition
was specifically imposed in the ar
ticles signed by Smith.
The seaman assigned his claim to an
Escanaba attorney and the latter
brought suit against the owner of the
boat.
Judge Cooper awarded a Judgment
for 1913 and costs of SEQ. He holds
that the general maritime law of for
fixture for desertion does not apply
when the sailor sues in a common law
court: that the United States statute
of 1872, providing for forfeiture for
desertion. was later repealed in so far
as it affected the great lakes and

cident a similar insult was offered a
girl by the foreman of the trimming
floor of the organized factory. The
girl who was "shop woman on that
floor for the United Hatters of North
America went to this foreman and
said: "You cut that out We won't
stand for anything like that in this
shop" He replied: You go to -.
What have you got to do with it,
anyway" She answered: 1--WE got
whole lot to do with it, and if you
don't so to that little girl and apol-
now" He replied: IF you do I'll
fire YOU" She said: mo, you won't
either!" -
Then this little woman, who is less
than five feet tall, called shop" and
ITO odd girls laid down their work.
She told the girls what the trouble
was, and they agreed that they would
starve before they would go back to
work if the foreman didn't apologize
to the little foreign girl he had in
suited. Here the general superin-
tendent came into the controversy,
and after conference in the office
the foreman was discharged, and the
little woman is still shop woman on
that trimming floor and there isn't
any foreman in that factory who
thinks he can insult girl while she
is at work just because she is a for
eigner and poor.
Now, submit that the organization
of laborers known as the United Hat
tiers of North America had more
power on that trimming floor, not
only to preserve fair wages and hours
but to preserve individual virtue and
the hope and fidelity of the home for
poor, sorely-tempted working girls,
than all the churches and universities
within the limits of that city. Yet
this is the organization that, in ex-
tending its benefits to other workers
in ether factories is condemned as
"a conspiracy in restraint of trade!"
