TOOLS Still LGST
In BLAIR OIL WELL

Fishing operations to recover the
string of tools lost in tine well of the
Bay State Oil company on the Blair
marsh, "a miles from Goldfeld, are as
yet unsuccessful. The tools and lower
section of the casing are being slowly
forced upward, however, by gas pres
sure, and this will materially help the
efforts of the operators to loosen the
bottom section of casing. 1t is even
possible that the tools will eventually
be blown clear out of the well.
The principal reason for the con
tinued trouble is that the casing in the
bottom part of the well was carried
down with too small size, and there
is so little room between the casing
and the tools that apparatus for Lessen
ing them cannot be worked well inside
the casing.

GEORGES CANYON IS
DRAWING ATTENTION

Grant Murphy has been in from
Georges Canyon, says the Tonopah
Sun. He states that things are look
ing good out that way and that every
one is getting ready to go to work. A
number of the properties are already
at work. On the Smith and Fancher
property they are putting up new
whim and will proceed with develop
ment at once.
The sensation of the houI at
Georo.,s CANYON is the recent strike
made by Jack Longstreet on his new
property which is located just north
of Mr.. Murphy's Golden Anchor group
and ON the same ledge. The vein is
from one to two feet in width and
carries good deal of sacking ore and
some that can easily be termed high
grade.
The strike is only week or so Old
and it, is, of course, too early to say
what it will amount to. Considerable
development has been done, and Mr.
Longstreet has force of men at work
now.
With the opening of the summer
season there is renewed talk OF
bringing mills to the Georges Can
Won district, and it is confidently ex
pected by those interested there thai
before many months pass there vii
be at least one custom mlii estao
lished in the district.

CHAIRMAN MILL HAS
Been STARTED AGAIN

ELY, New, June 3.-The old Chain
man mill, owned by the Copper Mines
company, and under lease to Will
loughby & McGill, has been partially
remodeled, and is in operation ON ore
from the Southern Cross mine, which
carries a general average of $40 ton
in gold. A vein of ore averaging $50 a
ton was recently struck in the old
working, which gives promise of open
ing into a large body.
Developments at Boston Ely are
progressing slowly, but two shifts are
now employed in sinking the winze
from the drift on the l,l27-foot level
of the Emma shaft. The winze is IN

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company is arranging for the installa-
tion of an extensive and efficient fire
fighting and prevention system through
its various properties, and when this is
installed the Consolidated will have as
fine fire protection as any property in
the United States.
The chief engineer of construction
is now drawing up plans for the system,
equipment needed and so on, and 1t is
probable that very soon work of in
stallation will be commenced. A large
supply of apparatus has been received
consisting of hose and reels, chemical
tanks, ladders, and several air-helmets
The latter are the latest invention of
the kind On the market, and equipped
with one of these the fireman is very
much like a deep sea diver, save that
instead of being connected with an air
pump by cumbersome line of hose, he
carries on his back his supply of fresh
air in brass tank under pressure. The
tank contains enough air for his main
tainance from 40 to 80 minutes, and
its flow into the helmet is regulated by
suitable valves. An ingenious arrange
ment of valves permits the vitiated air
that is expelled from his lungs to pass
outside the helmet.
This apparatus will be exceptionally
valuable in going into room or mine
filed with smoke and gasses, either to
rescue human beings or to enable the
fire fighters to reach otherwise mae
cessable places with their fire fighting

fact, on Thursday evening, the oper-
ators stated that they had reached "a
point in the winze where both walls of
the shoot appeared to be diverging at
sharp angle, and in all probability
they were ON top of big body of ore.
The shoot has averaged little better
than two feet of shipping ore, but three
feet or more were showing in the
winze.
A pecularity of the ore in the bottom
of the winze is that while free gold
very seldom showed in the ore above,
the quartz in the winze is showing big
specks and blo.ehes of the native metal
The showing is such that the sleassrs are
more elated than ever, and now are
confident that they have a "winner. I"

Fire Prevention.

In the mill there will be little danger
of another fire like the one of April
9th. Standard hose reels will always
be ready at convenient and strategic
points, these backed up by chemical
tanks, and at places where fire from
the outside might enter the mill, fire
doors that can be dropped instantly
will be installed. Had such door been
over the conveyor belt shaft last April,
the fire would probably not have en-
tered the main structure of the big
mill at all.
Similar fire control devices will be
installed at all of the big shaft houses,
carpenter and machine shops, etc., and
it is more than likely that a big stor-
age tank will be placed on top of Col
umbia Mountain, that will give plenty
of water, at high pressure, whenever
needed 1t is understood that four inch
mains will be used for water supply
from the big tank to the hydrants.
Mine Equipment.
The mine itself offers an interesting
problem to the fire fighter. In many
of the workings there are immense sill
floors, forests of timber in the big
slopes, and big bulkneads, ore chutes
and station timbering that, with fire
once started, would make a bad blaze.
In the miles of underground workings,
connections have been made with many
air shafts, and these afford draught
and suction that would "pull" fire
like a tall chimney "pulls" the fire in
furnace. Then, too, it is well known
fact that the sulphide ores such as ara

Bulkheads to Be Used.
With this end in view it is learned
that air-tight bulkheads and doors will
be placed in various parts of the mine,
so that in ease of fire any level may be
practically sealed" at once. Chemical
tanks of large size will be mounted ON
mine car trucks. If an alarm of fire
should come, couple of men would don
the air helmets, get to the shaft where
the fire was located, find their chemical
tank already on the skip, and, armed
against gas and smoke, wheel their tank
right to the scene of the blaze and get
busy. In such manner any blaze could
be checked at once, as the men under
ground would close the fire doors con-
Meeting the different workings as they
hurried to safety, and there would be
no draught to make an underground
furnace of the workings before the fire
fighters could reach the scene with
their equipment. At the same time the
firemen would be able to take out to
safety any one who had been overcome
by gasses while trying to escape, or by
being caught by the fire where escape
would otherwise be impossible.
The plans are not completed as yet,
but the above are the lines along which
they are being worked out.

to almost nil. A winze was put down
on the shoot some 80 feet and drift
run from the bottom of the winze, de-
welcoming some fine ore. A flow of water
and the inaccessability of the work
ings through the winze, however,
showed that the shaft must be put down
deeper. The trend of the vein system
has been well proved and the leasers
know where to look for 1t from the
deeper Level.

Mrs. Matthiesen was not one whit
behind her liege lord in the matter of
gems, for she, too, wore number of
diamond rings and a brooch that made
some of her less fortunate sisters en-

was adorned with a diamond pin,
