Rich Strikes Made.

The Ford mine in San Andreas, which was sold for taxes recently, is proving a bonanza. The mine was bought from the State by Will A. Dover of San Andreas for the accrued taxes and costs. Associated with him in the purchase was Captain Talton Hawes of the San Francisco Mint and Will Steel, brother.in.law of both Dover and Hawes. Steel had worked in the Ford and was also the keeper in charge for the mine after it closed down and he had faith in the property. He had In mind another vein of ore that he had discovered some 100 feet or more to the east of the original vein and had at different times obtained some good prospects from the crop. pings.
 Soon after the purchase of the mine Steel took charge of the work and sunk a shaft on this vein, which is now down about forty feet, and it is in this shaft that almost fabulously rich rock has been struck. This rich streak is in true vein formation with well-defined walls. and the pay streak is about two feet wide. The rock is decom posed quartz, soft and fine and the gold is free all through it. Rich stringers appear to feed this vein at intervals, and where these join the main vein the specimen rock contains great nuggets of gold, as large as a mans thumb at times. As one man expressed it, who had examined the formation. it looks as though some one had dashed great ladies full of melted metal into cold water and the cooling metal had splashed all over the rock.
 The extent of the strike has not been determined and the work of sinking the shaft is still going on and will be continued so long as it can be done with the present facilities. The vein seems to increase in richness as sinking proceeds. The ore is sacked as it comes out and shipped as true high grade, the same as the rich Nevada ore. It could hardly be work ed in an ordinary mill in it, present shape.-Calaveras Prospect.

We have been advised by reliable source that the Horn Silver at Frisco. during the month of June. 1912, ship ped twenty cars of ore: and that they have payroll of seventy men, not counting contractors and leasors; that the company itself pays its men 2.5OS, 2.75$, 3.OOS and 3.25S, the latter being for timbering and machine men. We are also advised that the company could use ten or fifteen more men at 3.OO$ and 325$ and that they are hav- ing considerable trouble in getting men Just now, and are looking for more. The company has also up to this date shipped nine cars of ore in the month of July. This great pro- ducer is still producing in spite of it's past history of thirty years and over. Milford News.

w. c. Fellows, manager of the Ben Harrison Mines company, of Baker City, Ore, has been in the city for few days overseeing concentration tests on the autimonial silver gold ore from this mine, and determining concentration flow sheet adapted to it.. He has placed an order with the Allis- Chalmers company for the complete equipment for l50-ton concentrator, the mill to be placed in operation late this fall. There is large volume of ore, running high h silver, blocked out in the mine. This ore is especial ly amenable to concentration. and the Ben Harrison will show large earn ings.-Salt Lake Mining Review.

No Mill Yet For Florence Go.

A Goldield dispatch says:-Presi- dent A. D. Parker, of Denver, Colo, who, with Vice. e-President T. G. Lock. hart, of Los Angeles, Cal, spent several days of last week inspecting and outlining future work at the Florence mine, set at rest all rumors as to the early erection of mill on the property to replace the plant de. stroyed by fire last December. Mr.. Parker stated that, while a great amount of profitable milling ore had been developed in the mine since his previous visit of inspection last March, the accumulated tonnage is not sutfic- tent at this time to warrant the con. struction of a mill. He, however, in. tmated that if the present rate of ore development continues the construc tiOn of such plant will be given serious consideration by himself and associates in due time.
 With the completion of the main ShoiV Co ouC l.N O-iooU pOiuV, WlUl d OU- foot stump for pumps, which level will be reached within the next few days. deep sinking operations will be at least temporarily suspended and lateral work vigorously prosecuted. Mr. Parker made it known that he believes that the southern extension of the great quartz mass which is giving such an excellent account of itself on the l,3OO.foot level of the Grizzly Bear shaft of the Goldfeld Consolidated will be found within the confines of the Florence holdings.
 With that belief in mind, Mr. Parker has decided to have crosscut driven north on the 1,200-foot level of the Florence toward the Combination Fraction. Superintendent Dewey is daily expecting to reveal in the new crosscut on the 350.foot level the down. ward extension of the rich ore body opened up about two months ago in virgin ground on the 25O.foot level.

Much has been written,' says Iron Ore, "about the low costs secured at Calumet x Arizona for the month of June, they being reported as we'll un- der 7c per lb. of blister copper. To those familiar with the conditions at the mines cost we'll under 6c would not be surprising. The ores are there to warrant such expectation, and it will be realized when the new smelter is in operation. The Bisbee ores are of the bonanza variety, being much richer than the average of other camps in other localities. These ores, be- sides being rich in copper, also hold important values in. gold and silver. They are direct smelting, too. going to the smelters without having to be concentrated. Calumet & Arizona is magnificent property, and with the mines of the Copper Queen Co, are the principal present active operators in Bsbee. Copper Queen has been active for more than thirty years and has been wonderful success from it's start. Calumet x Arizona, with half the active life, has been equally for tunate. Both have made splendid records and both have great future. Calumet x Arizona has within the past few years opened new and large ore deposits, very rich in copper and gold, and it should find more of them as work proceeds. The company is also developing another big property where the ore will be mined by steam shovels. Calumet x Arizona is only now fairly entering it's rich ore areas, and low costs will be the normal thing there. ."-New York Mining Age.

Reports are current that the Ari- zona Commercial Shelter has been offered for sale. These reports are pronounced premature. At present the shelter represents so much idle capital tied up and it is likely to be some time before it can be used by the Arizona Commercial company, if at all. The Old Dominion company is operating the Arizona Commercial railroad. under the contract which it made when the railroad was built.- Boston Com ercial.

New Uniform Regulations

The new uniform regulations, that
have just been issued to the Service,
give to the Army the first definite and
clear information as to what should
be worn on different occasions. Since
the Civil War there has been a per-
picking uncertainty as to what was
authorized At public functions Army
officers have come dressed in a vari-
ETY. Of uniforms, while Navy officers
have always known Just what was re-
quired of them The new regulations
are codifcation Of the orders run
ming back as far as 1880. This codi-
fication has been one of the most in
tricate and difficult tasks undertaken
by the War Department, rs it includes
between sixty and seventy orders,
aside from many customs that have
grown up in the Service without or
ders. In preparing the new regula-
tions a number of articles have been
dropped from the uniform and others
have been simplified. The only article
which can be said to be new is the
special full-dress uniform. The adop-
ton of this was considered necessary
because officers were no longer per
mitted to wear civilian clothes. The
only difference between a civilians
fun dress and the special full dress

THE NEW YORK
TAXICAB ROBBERY

NEW YORK, February 15.-Twen-
ty-five thousand dollars in currency
was stolen from taXicab in the heart
of the financial district by three high
waymen. who sprang into the vehi-
Gle and overpowered w. F. Smith and
Frank Wardell, messengers of the
East River National Bank. Both mes
sengers were seriously injured, and
the robbers escaped with the money
$4,000 in five-dolar bills and $10,-
600 in one hundred-dollar bills. The
currency was being transported from
the Produce Exchange Bank in the
lower part of the city.
The taxicab had proceeded up
Broadway without mishap, when for
some reason the chauffeur turned
west on Rector street into Church
street, skirting the side and rear of
Trinity church-yard. About midway
of the old cemetery three men sprang
from the curb. One jumped on the
NhpullCul . seat the OlIGl lNO SOI
into the vehicle. The man on the seat
pressed a revolver in his overcoat
pocket against the side of the chauf
feur, Gino Martini, and commanded
him to drive swiftly on without max
ing an cutlery.
Inside the vehicle the two robbers
were belaboring the bank messengers
on the head Smith, on of the mes
sengers, is sixty-one years old, and
was bleeding and almost unconscious
when the taxicab reached Park Place,
a few blocks north. Wardell was bad
ly beaten about the head but not so
seriously hurt
At Park Place the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab bearing a tin
box, which they had wrested from the
messengers, and which contained the
currency. In a flash they had sprung
into a big black automobile, which
seemed to be waiting their coming,
and were quickly lost in the maze of
traffic.

Governor Walter E. Clark re- turned on the Alameda Friday from Mctafakahtla. where he conferred with Rev. William Dun can over the future of Alaska's $ spotless Indian town.
 A year ago Father Duncan re- ported to Secretary of the Inter- for Fisher that he wished to tr relieved of the burden of his du- ties as the white father of Met lakahtla. His extreme age and the underhanded attacks on him by his enemies were advanced as sufficient reasons for his with drawal. The matter was referred to Governor Clark and the ar arrangements to transfer Annette island, on which the thriving vil- lagc is settled, from Father Dun cans supervision to that of the government, have since been very slowly worked out. Governor Clark stated today that it will be at the close of the summer before the lOokcd-for transfer will take place. Mctlakahtla will then un- doubtcdly pass from the hands of a missionary who has spent life time educating handful of In- dianS, io the Bureau of Educa- lion.

One Good Result.

The high cost of living has touched practically every homo in the nation and most of Ihr homes of the civilized world. Latest re- ports from Bradstrrri's offer no encouragement of speedy re- duction. but reports from other sources indicate activity in lines that must bc eventually felt in reducing this cost of living and. at the same lime, creating more useful citizens.
 It is generally admitted that much of the high cost of living has been brought about by inef- fcctivc work on the farms and wasteful management in Amcri- can households. Movements are well under way for the remedy of both these evils. Tncfficiency is always an evil and waste is almost q crime. The farmers arc sending their boys to agricultur- l al colleges tO learn how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before. At the same time it. has become a recognized necessity of complete education to teach our girls the rudimcnts of domestic science, cookery and home economics. There is no better way to lessen the cost of living than to instruct mon and A' men how to increase produc- lion and how to prevent waste.

Some of the passengers Fat the time thought this was one of the whales hippers, as it seemed to be Hopping about al- most all the time just over where Inc dark body of the whale could Dc seen. Even at the distance which the contest was at first seen it was plain that the whale was in considerable distress. The thresher was camping right on the job all the time.
 The boat headed almost direct for the two sea monsters, and as they came nearer lIcgg and Hunt, the two professional photograph CTS aboard. unlimbcred their cameras. Nearly everyone else aboard had a camera, but were too excited or interested to think of them or go after them. The steamer passed within a dozen rods of the two duelists, so close in fact that one could see the barnaclcs on tho tail of the whale. While directly oppo- site, the whale again shot out of the water almost it's full length, while the thrrshrr using it's dead ly wcaponof a fin and an eye sole ly to business.
