CONDITIONS IN
COMS1OCK MINES

Conditions at the north end of the
Comstock continue very satisfactory
today, following the unfortunate oc-
currence in the Mexican mine the
first of the week, in which fire secur-
ed a start from some unknown cause
in the old $500 stope. The gases
and smoke have been rapidly clear
ing from the Always the past two
days, until today it is reported hat
the levels are practically free of
the same. A few days longer will
probably be allowed to elapse before
the mine is again opened up. In the
Union Con. the pump in the Union
winze below the $500 level has been
kept in operation continually, and
no delay will occur when operations
are resumed there, which will no
doubt be in a short time. That the
fire was confined to the narrow linn
its of the stope is a matter of con-
graduation to all concerned, and was
due to prompt and effective e
of the trouble. In the meantime the
gases are disappearing, and the area
affected cooling off.
There is no change of Importance
reported from tht raise above the
$500 level of the Con. Virginia,
where the vein has continued to
show about the usual width and
grade of ore saved. The Ophir COM
pany, at the Central tunnel, is re-
opening the old workings, prepara-
tory to the extraction and milling of
the low grade ores under the old
groupings. Operations in the Six
Mile canyon continue as usual, and
treating the customary quota of ore.
In the Gold Hill section. the yell
low Jacket mill is receiving a good
sized tonnage of ore from the Belch-
err mine and the Jacket dumps. The
mill is turning out bullion steadily,
and the usual shipments continued
to the smelter. Reports from the
Belcher show a large tonnage being
secured from the 1900 level and in
other sections of the mine, the
Crown Point and Yellow Jacket OPP
erations are proceeding as usual.
The pumping plant in the joint in
cline is efficiently holding the wa
ter at the 95-foot point below the
1900 station.
The Overman is clearing up and
repairing the east crosscut from the
shaft station on the 1900 level. pre-
paratory to sampling and exploring
the east vein. At the joint Conf
observation-disclosures shaft, the
south drift is being advanced on a
favorable formation.
The Caledonia company has been
advancing its development work in
the northwest drift from the raise
above the 100 level, and with a
continuation of promising condi-
tons. Work will probably be re-
sumed carrying the raise on upward
within a few days.
1t is reported that repairs are to
be started soon on the former Diet
rich mill by Paul H~ahnewald, pre-
liminary to milling ore the
lease on the Observation-Disclosures.

TALKS ON THRIFT
No. 43-WHO CAN AZ
FORD AN AUTOMOBILE?

Pride is oftentimes the par
EN- of extravaganza. Men and
ONE shrink from appearing
less prosperous than their
neighbors. Not only will they
spend for their backs what
ought to have gone into their
stomachs, but they will too read
lily make somebody else foot the
bill-that is, they will buy what
they cannot pay for, thus ROB-
BING somebody else."-B. c.
Forbes.
1t is probably rue that the increas-
ing use of automobiles lessons the
savings of the nation. Not only be-
cause amounts which otherwise were
set aside as savings are now being
used in buying and maintaining au-
tomobiles, but also because many a
sun is actually withdrawn from the
banks for that purpose.
A financial writer says: 81 think
the automobile craze is using up a
lot of money that would otherwise be
in savings banks for investment. A
savings bank president told me had
recently had four different depositors
withdraw their money to purchase
automobiles, while another informed
me that he had three such cases re-
Gently, and n party borrowed O
ey to buy an automobile and mort
gagged his place." The redeeming
feature of the situation lies in the
fact that the automobile is gradually
passing from a luxury to a vehicle of
absolute necessity, especially in the
country, to move about and do bus
mess.
Nebraska heads the list of states
in the number of automobiles per
capita-one for every twenty-five
p hple. Eighty per cent of these are
owned by farmers.
With some people the real ques-
ton is, can they afford not to have
the car? Many Il facmer spends
driving to town. He coud " the
cost of an automobile in the value of
his own time.
The lack of the most ordinary me-
chanical skill makes the automobile
an extravaganza for many persons
When people live on farms and in
villages, they become familiar with
tools. They could easily perform all
ordinary repairs IN an automobile.
AS they move into larger cities and
acquire more social p~retensions, they
call in the carpenter when the door
knob gets out of order. They would
be helpless over the slightest irregu-
larity of al automobile. They must
depend on the tender mercies of the
garage keeper and the repair man.
1t is a very different proposition
for the man whose business runs in
mechanical lines, or who keeps up
the habit of working with tools. The
automobile carefully tended on his
his home place is probably cheaper
than a horse.
After all, it is a matter for the in
dividual to decide whether he ought
to invest in an automobile now or
wait till he has accomplished a little
more in the way of laying aside some
permanent capital, but it ought to be
| given serious consideration from ev-
cry viewpoint.

Thieves in

manner of entrance is a puzzle. Of

the office force to talk about the
matter is taken as evidence that
they are trying to shield somebody.

and seriously injured business. The
only way to restore that confidence
n TO place the exchange under con-

steps towards that end should be
taken Immediately. Personally,
would like to see II under federal
