fine PRODUCTION
FROM COALITION

General Manager l.. A. Friedman, of
the Coalition company, who recently
returned from an extended pleasure
trip to Los Angeles and other Califor-
MIA watering places, spent the early
part of the week looking after his in
terests in the Seven Troughs district.
He is more than pleased with the
present conditions at the mine, and
in giving a report of operations said:
"The new winze which was being
driven from the fifth to the sixth level
has been completed and drifting both
ways is now in progress. In the south
drift the vein has opened to a width
oftwo and a half feet and the samples
thus far taken show average returns
of 5000 in gold to the ton. The drift
from the new point is also being
driven to connect with the working
point on the sixth. The conditions so
far as the ledge and values are con
cerned are about the same as in the
south drift.
"The ledge on the fifth is at pres
ent one of the best assets of the mine.
During the past five weeks the 20
inch streak running through the main
ledge has yielded handsomely. In this
time the assays did not run lower than
$3.50 and from this point they ran as
high as $500 in the yellow metal.
GAS an indication that the values
throughout the mine are showing a
gradual increase, nothing could better
illustrate this fact than the increase
in the mill returns for the past three
months. In December the ores treated
showed an average of $500; in Jan
uary $124.40 and in February they in
creased to $135.
"Mr. Hursch, the new mill superin-
tendent, who has been appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. Thomp-
sons resignation, has taken charge of
the mill and is doing splendid work.
Mr.. Hursch is a thorough and compe-
tent man. He is a graduate of the
University of California and has serv-
ed with some of the biggest companies
in the west.''
Mr.. Friedman is more than pleased
with conditions generally throughout
the entire Seven Troughs district, and
from the activity that is being dis
played in all quarters he is confident
that the present year will see more ac-
tivity and more legitimate mining
than at any time during the history of
the camp-Lovelock Review Miner.

ownership of putlic utilities is about

over the entire telephone system of
the country capitalized at $50, 900, 900,

it would offer for plunder and govern

is enough to strike dumb with horror

to cheer on the apostles who have been

The good roads movement, to be most
effective, must be local as we'll as ma
