Secret Pass Gold Strike.

Report comes from Secret Pass that Superintendent Scott, who is operat- ing the mines recently taken over from R. J. Holmes and others, in the interest of Goldfeld people, has open ed up a wonderful property. So far the dimensions of the vein have not been ascertained, but it covers a small knoll on the west side of Secret Pass and shows wherever opened. Even the alluvium covering of the hill gives big banning in gold and some of the rock of the vein is said to have given wonderful results. At a depth of thirty. eight feet the ore shows the same general character as that on the surface. An effort will be made to trace out the vein and other shafts will be sunk. A large amount of work has been mapped out on the property and this work will be rushed to completion. Members of the company are here from Goldfeld and are enthusiastic over the OuIlOOh lOT SOn6buAus blS' The showing thus far made is far bet ter than that of the Goldroad or Tom Reed with the same amount of devel- opment. The vein is cut by canons and shows it's immense Outcrop to best advantage at the point where the shaft is now being sunk. Miners coming in from the camp say that it is one of the most wonderful discoveries ever made in the county.
 The Secret Pass is one of the most accessible points in the Blue Ridge i chain of mountains, well watered and well situated for all the year mining operations. It is through this pass that a new wagon road is proposed to reach the mines of Silver Creek and that part of the range south Of Union | Pass.
 The strike has brought into that section many prospectors and it is 1 probable that before many months new strikes will be announced.

One of the very good looking prop critics in this district which gives promise of becoming a big concern and one of the chief patrons of the shelter at Swansea is that owned by the Blue Bell Mining and Reduction company. The ground is located four and half miles from the shelter, and the development 10 date shows up quite a considerable tonnage of splen- did ore. As matter of fact the Blue Bell made a record for itself from the first. K. T. Miner, one of the live min ing men of the district, and his equal ly alive associate, Tom Lowell, began operations on the ground during the summer of 1909, and by November they had expended the sum of l07OS and put 200 tons of 25S ore on the dump, and had about 10000 tons of ore in sight. Considerable work has been done on the property since then and the prospects are more than good for the efuture.-Swansea Times.

A Cache of Bullion.

More than thirty years ago, when the big McCracken mill was turning out its thousands of dollars daily in sil- yer bullion, raids on the bullion and amalgam chests were common. At one time twelve large retorts were stolen and of these eleven were re- covered, but the other was either broken up and remelted or cached away and never found. Remembering the events of these early days Fred Keohan. of Planet, has been following up clues to the stolen bullion and last week came upon twenty pound chunk of retort. This retort was brought to Kingman Wednesday last by J. c. Potts, who has been at Mir. Keohan's place on Bill Williams Fork. Unlike the retort of the McCracken this piece of bullion shows traces of copper, but is in all other respects like the bullion output of the McCracken or Signal mills.
 The recovery of this bullion brings back to mind the days when the Me Cracken mine was one of the greatest bullion producers on the Pacific coast. From Signal Dick Gird, assayer and anal gamator in the big mill, went forth to brave the Indians of the south part of the territory as the partner of Ed Shieffiin in the mines that after ward made Tombstone.

Keystone Clark, discoverer of the famous old mine at Mineral Park, was in Kingman Saturday and Sunday last on his way to the Big Sandy, where he expects to refind an old mine that he discovered in the early days. This is his third trip in search of the mine, which he believes is one of the richest propositions ever found ID the county. Mr. Clark is full of "reminiscences of the old days in Mohave county and has warm spot in his heart for the old camps in which he spent part of his early days. He has always been of the opinion that the Keystone mine will some day become one of the big mines of the county.
 J. J. Connolly has just opened up a nice body of lead ore on his property in Bob Tail basin, where he has been at work the past several months. The vein on which the strike was made is one of the largest in that section and is mineralized throughout. He ex- poets to develop the vein to a depth of several hundred feet, unless a too large flow of water is encountered.

the cork with hammer VIII drive the
needle through the copper. The expla-
nation is as follows:
Everything has it's limits of resist
ance. and we may define this In terms
to the square inch that will overcome
it. Take ten pound weight and place
It on a surface Of two square inches;
the pressure is evidently FIVE pounds
to the square inch. Now take away
one OF the square inches, and there is
just as evidently a pressure of ten
pounds to the square inch. Decrease
this surface to the dimensions OF q
needle point and put a five pound
blow on the needle head. The pres
sure to the square inch at the point is
tremendous. So, of course, it can be
forced through almost anything, pro-
vfded the needle is kept from break
ing. For this purpose the cork is sup
piled, which keeps the needle from
starting to bend, having for this pur-
pose what might be called an infinite
~ inclined plane or straight line.
This phenomenon explains several
things of frequent occurrence. Cy-
clones sometimes drive straws through
trees three and four feet thick The
compressed air round the straw keeps
it from bending, and the enormous
force driving it forces it through.
OF course in the case of the needle
and, In fact, any pointed instrument
gradually getting larger from the point
the advantage of the inclined plane is
made use of in continuing the motion.
AS 1T takes much less force to roll a
barrel up an inclined plank into a door
than 10 lift it directly from the ground
to the door, so we can separate two
things or two parts Of the same thing
easier with a pointed instrument
(which IS the same thing as a round
wedge) than with an instrument Of the
same size all the way.-St- Louis Re
