ALWAYS ON
THE IMPROVE

A letter from the superintendent OF
the Western Nevada Copper to General
Manager Morris NJ. Johnson, states that
developments in the mine are now dis
closing better ore all the time. The
north drift ON the hanging wall side of
the ore body on the 800 level has been
extended 40 feet and the ore, the latter
states, is improving with each foot's ad-
vance. When it is known that the
crosscut on this level from which drift
ing is now being done carries values
ranging from to as per cent copper,
the significance of the superintendent 5
report will be the better understood.
The north drift near the footwall side of
the mammoth deposit is just getting un-
der way. At distance of fourteen feet
from the starting point in the crosscut
the ore samples 2.6 per cent copper and
pives the same evidence Of improving
in grade as the drift ON the opposite
side is doing.
The same ore body has just beer
reached on the 400 level aud Manager
Johnson says that the first drift started
north is sampling better than 2 per CEN
copper. In fact, the development worl

TEA PARTY

forty covers laid and occupied
The tables were arranged around
two sides of the room and
the remaining space in the hall was fur
nished as parlor, having lounges,
great chairs, rockers, small tables with
other furniture. The decorations were
in the colors OF the Circle, red, white
and blue, and were most beautifully
done. Members of the Circle met the
Veterans on arrival and made them feel
very much at home At noon the table

Mr. Reyniers was most happy in his
selections of the many things that can
be said of the past history of Mason VAL

large and altogether optimistic.
At this point the guests withdrew from
tables and again occupied the easy chairs

none came warmer words of praise than
from Mr.. Collins and Mrs. Davidson

One of the Circle, speaking of the
tea said: When we came to a diff

Amelia sat erect and gave strenu-

clenched. Her dark eyes showed the
excitement Of ambition. But Vernon
dropped and placed his hand YEARLY

up from her chair.

Amelia went on relentlessly. 1T seems

and yet triumphantly, as if she had re.
duced the problem to an absurdity.

She cut him short.

to transfer the food from the galley to the ta'
bles, and the serving is so systematized that
the most important dishes OF the meal leave
the heaters first. On the average American
battleship not more than four minutes Is re-
quired to serve the cooked portion of a meal
for more than 700 bluejackets and on the bat
tleship Missouri record of two minutes for
serving a meal has been attained over and
over again. To do this, either mess strikers
must serve the tea and coffee at the same time
that the messmen are serving the solid food,
or else the drinkables must be served In ad-
vance, but this latter can readily be done If
necessary, for experience has proven that tea
and coffee served at boiling heat will retain
their heat for some little time.
The general mess on warship, compris
ing practically all of the enlisted men of the
navy and marine corps is divided into messes
of about 20 men each, and a messman is de-
tailed for each mess, to receive the food from
the cooks at the galley, and serve it at the
mess table. Tipping is not only unnecessary,
but it is forbidden. When men are landed
from warship in large numbers, either for
going into camp or for an expedition, CON-
missary corps, including cooks, bakers and
messmen is sent with them, to see to it that
they have good food and plenty of it.
There is popular misconception regard
ing the manner in which Uncle Sam provides
table board for the occupants of his floating
fortresses. In addition to the pay provided
for enlisted men, the government undertakes
to subsist them and this is done at whatever
expense may be necessary. The fixed value of
Communication for one ration is, by law, 30
cents, but the communication of ratioDs is

idea that has become prevalent in sorne quar-
ters that each enlisted man is entitled to re-
ceive just 80 cents worth Of food each day or
30 cents in money.

agreement so that all nations shall display a
uniform marine storm signal. In effecting an
international agreement it is believed that II
will be great factor in saving life and proper
ty on sea and land and at the same time be
highly important in weather predictions.
These subjects were dealt with by two CON-
mittees, one on maritime weather signals and
the other on weather marine telegraphy.
The first committee was composed of DIR. w.
N. Shaw, director of the British meteorological
office; Prof. A. Augat, director of the Central
French meteorological service; Rev. L. Froc.
director of the ri Ka Wei observatory at
Shanghai, China; Rear Admiral Hirz, director
of the Deutsche Seewarte at Hamburg, Ger
many; Prof. H. Mohn, director Norwegian
Meteorological institute; Prof. Willis L. Moore
and X. Nakamuray, director of the meteorol-
ogical service of Japan. In addition to Messrs.
Augat, Hirz and Moore, the other committee
was composed of Lieut.. Gen. Rykatcheff, d.
rector of the Central Physical observatory of
St. Petersburg. Russia.
Zone of the principal problems taken up by
the conference" said Prof. Moore twas the
question of international agreement as to the
taking of wireless marine weather reports.
The scheme was to obtain the adoption by all
of the leading nations of a uniform method of
taking and transmitting wireless meteorological
observations so that each observation, no mat
ter by what nation TAKEN will be comparable
with the observations taken by any other ma
ton. There is now no uniform system of re-
ceiving and transmitting marine Wireless
weather reports and exactly the same things
are not observed.
"Observations received by ship would be
transmitted to other ships, so that by relaying
from one vessel to another observations from
the entire ocean would then within few min.
utes reach the land and the central met@oro1ogi
cal offices in the nited States, France, Eng
land and Germany and other interested ma
tions would be able to complete these observa-
tions each in its proper geographic position,
and thus to determine the location of storms
and forecast their future direction. Such FORE
casts could be distributed to the vessels in the
same manner in which the observations on
which the forecasts were based were collected" !"
