Many Big Surprises

A hoist and head frame have just

sensational may be expected from this

The Times has frequently made the
statement that the Nevada-Douglas
mine was full of surprises The truth
of that statement Is being demon
strated every day Everyone who has
been through the underground work
ings of the Douglass Hill section OF
the estate knows of the big stope
where the rich deposit OF spot ore
was mined some years ago. and OF
the wInze that was sunk to the west
OF this big stope. They also know
OF the long DRIFT to the north where
it was expected to cut the big spot
ore deposit In running this drift the
ore was cut and the drift run for sew
eral hundred feet to. the northeast.
beyond No work OF any consequence
was done at that time in trying to
open up this ore. but recently gen
eral foreman Burbridge started work
on this lenze, which. SO far. has been
crosscut for distance OF twenty feet
and drifted~ on for a distauce of sew
enty feet. The ore is OF better
grade than six per cent Tor this en-
tire distance. just as il is broken
How much greater in dimension this
ore body is can only be proven by
further development work. As they
now have one hundred feet or more
of backs to draw from a big addition
has been added TO the tonnage of the
mine without the usual dead work
This development is now adding its
tonnage to the shipments from the
mine.

Work on Empire Nevada

The Smith brothers. recently from
Colorado, who have a lease on the
Empire Nevada copper ground across
the river from Ierington. are arrang
ing to do some extensive work on the
property Up to last Saturday they
had shipped four carloads OF ore to
the Thompson smeltcr and this week
two more carloads were sent To the
same place. This ore is practically
from the surface and old dumps and
is a carbonate with kidneys OF oxide
scattered through it, 1t has been civ
ing returns OF from 7 to 9 per cent.
and that shipped this week will prob
ably go better than 9 per cent. The
boys have two-year lease on the
property and are looking for place
to sink and open up the ground with
crosscuts. They are close to the
power line and could easily and cheap
ly install an electric hoist ard com
pressor, and this is what they prob
ably will do before long.

To the Democrats Of JEFF.
ferSOn County:

Having been for many years in
terested in the welfare and training
of young people, and having had the
discipline of boys for a number of
years in a military school, / believe
that a great service can be rendered
in the Juvenile Court to the COM
munity, and much uplift given to un-
fortunate children by one in SYM
pathy with the child habit and
nature.
In serving the city Of Louisville as
Councilman, and in ten years prac-
tice of law, have had occasion to
observe the fiscal affairs of jefferson
county and the duties of the County
Judge; and l feel that a man of
broad sympathy and sound judgment
is best fitted for the close relation
ship sustained by the County Judge
to all classes of people.
Believing that my experience will
prove a helpful qualification for this
office and having desire to serve
as County Judge, and having been
encouraged by many good Democrats
In this ambition, now announce my
candidacy for this important office,
subject to the Democratic will at the
August primary.

HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.

Christmas night, 1776, Gen.
George Washington crossed the
Delaware, and the next day occurred
the battle of Trenton. The Hessians
were naturally surprised. They took
1t for granted that the Revolutionary
army would rest upon its arms and
hermit them to enjoy their Christ
mas in peace, but Washington con-
cluded that the deed would be
bettered by the day, and he loaded
his small army into boats and
crossed the icy waters OF the muddy
river. He reckoned correctly, and
the result of his daring maneuyer
was that he attacked Col. Rail- at
sunrise. The commanding officer
and twenty Of the enemy were killed
and 1000 taken prisoners. Two
Americans were killed and two were
frozen to death. Washington's valor,
however, saved the American cause.

the Infant Saviour is a devotion OF
great antiquity. II has come down
to us from the thirteenth century. In
the year 1926 ST. Francis OF Assist
conceived the idea Of thus represent
ing in sensible way the rude, cold
and dreary crib Of Bethlehem, The
crib IL more than mere representa-
ton; It is intended to bring home to
beholders the simple pathos OF "the
story beautiful" and 10 inspire them
with gratitude for so wonderful a
mystery OF mercy and love, and to
foster In the hearts OF children a
personal and practical devotion 10
