No. 1 was advanced Ia feet and tim
bered: total length SO feet This
working place yielded SO cars of ore.
From the sill floor of the raise No.

grade ore were saved. The north
drift on the 1000 level was advanced
% feet; total length 100 feet. From
the advance 73 cars of low grade ore
were saved. The pumping plant in
the joint incline held the water 40
feet below the 1900 level without
trouble.
The Crown Point company sent
sec tons to the Yellow Jacket mill,
and shipped one railroad car of con-
centrates to the smelter. At the sur
face, $40 tons were sent to the glory
hole from the Jacket shaft. From
raise No. | on the 1900 level, from
the sill to the sixth floors, 436 cars
of low grade ore were saved. Re-
pairs were made to the north drifts
on the 400 level
A report of special interest is Civ
en- this week from the Caledonia
mine, where the exploration work in
the vein continues to show better vai-
ues, and improving conditions gen
orally. In the raise, from the 100

drift was extended in a Northwestern
ly direction along the footwall for a
distance of 9 feet. This work shows
a vein of ore from three to four feet
in width, giving face sample assays
of from $7.O1 to $3O.77 per ton
Work in the raise has now been re-
sumed as operations to date show a
steadily increasing value of the ore
as greater height is attained on the
vein. There was hoisted during the
week, 131 cars of low grade ore
On the 1900 level of the Overman
mine the past week, the northwest
drift from the main east crosscut was
cleaned out and repaired for dis
tance of l l feet, 2S9 feet now being
in good repair. Work has been start
ed cleaning out the raise connecting
with the 12O0-foot level, and when
completed will give a good circula-

CARSON RIVER SCHEME

A deep and wide ditch is being dug
below the old Santiago mill, evident
ly for the purpose of diverting all
the waters of the Carson river at it's
lowest stages and leave the bed of
the river dry for some distance to
enable mining and extraction of con-
centrates, quicksilver and amalgam
believed to exist in large quantities
at that particular point. says the Car
son City News. The distance that
the river will be turned from it's bed
is hardly over 100 yards. However,
the experiment is highly important,
because if it pays it will result in
many other similar enterprises and
on a much larger scale. The river,
at that particular point is swift and
the bed rocky, affording lodgment
and retention of the heavy concen-
trates. This system is quite different
from dredging or the suction pump,
in that the stuff has to come up with
shovel, if it is there. The Santi-
ago mill was constructed in 1861 by
the late Senator William NJ. Stewart

letter received this morning
from Camp Mccoy by F. c. Pearce,
who owns some we'll located ground
in this promising Lander county
camp, says that everything is NOV
ing along satisfactorily at the camp.
A sample from the Mccoy ground,
which was sent to Rochester to be
assayed, went $3.50.
Some rich ore has just been found
on the Clarke lease, and everyone in
the camp is feeling good over the
new strike.
F. r. Whyttock, well-known min-
ing engineer, left the camp on
Thursday to procure an assay outfit,
and on his return will open an assay
office at Mccoy.
A number of new applications for
leases have been made on the
Pearce Westrope ground in the last
few days and they will probably be
granted. Humboldt Star.

M'|NTOSH RESIGNS
AS STATE CHAIRMAN
AT NEWLANDS, REFUSES
10 SERVE LONGER

III a HNe page lelueT tO the uehiO-
cratic state central committee, c. H..
Mcintosh today resigned as state
chairman, says Saturdays Gazette.
He transmitted his resignation to
Secretary James d. Finch, making it
effective Immediately. The state CEN
trail committee will meet Monday and
it is believed that Sam Pickett, vice
chairman, will be selected to sue
ceed Mcintosh.
While McIntosh's chief reason for
resigning is given as a desire to work
before the primary election for
friends who are opposing other demo-
Gratis in the preliminary campaign,
his letter of resignation is not free
from criticism of certain party lead
ers. Mcintosh, it is said, was anxious
to see some democrat come out for
state senator in opposition to George
Wingfield and was not in sympathy
with counsel from prominent party
members that no effort be made to in
duce a democrat to come out for the
office.
Another matter mentioned is the
apathy of certain democrats who
have profited by the unselflsh ac-
tivity of their fellows of lesser
prominence, toward the welfare of
the party. The failure of these demo-
Gratis to answer correspondence and
their failure to participate in party
councils is specifically brought to at
tention. While no name is mention
ed. this part of McIntosh's letter of
resignation is taken as referring to
Senator Newlands.
In addition to 'sins or omission"
on the part of the leader referred to-
''sins of omission" in the way of fos-
tering strife within the ranks is men,
toned on the part of one who had
been elevated to a position of power
and trust in the past This part of
the letter is taken as referring to
Prison Warden Dickerson. The fail
ure of those who have risen to high
places through personal sacrifices of
the rank and file of the party to ap-
preciate the efforts put forth in their
behalf is called to attention in the
resignation of Mcintosh.
Mcintosh directs attention to the
fact that he sought to avoid accept
ance of the position of state chair
man when the place was urged upon
him just before the campaign of
1912. He gave his whole time and
attention to the conduct of the office
at great personal loss, and says he
now feels that he has done all he
could do for the party as state chair
man and owes it to himself to give
personal attention to his own bust
ness affairs. Also he desires to be
free to work for his friends during
the primary campaign.
"You can just say that I am still a
good democrat said Mcintosh this
afternoon when asked about his
resignation.

COAL NINE EMPLOYEES

The number of men employed in
the bituminOus-coal mines of Penn
sylvania in 1913 was 172,196, ac-
cording to the United States geo
logical survey, and they made the
unprecedented high average of 2G7
days, against 165,144 men for 252
days in 1912. In four counties, two
of them the Connelsville coking-coal
counties, Fayette and Westmoreland
the average working time exceeded
2S0 days. The average production
per man for the year exceeded any
previous record of any state and
amounted to 1,009 short tons

MANGANESE ORE

Most of the manganese ore con-
sumed in the United States is i'm
ported from British India, Brazil and
Russia, and smaller amounts from
France, Germany and other coun-
tries. This ore is used largely in the
manufacture of iron-manganese al
loys, such as spigeleisen, ferroman-
ganese, silverspiegel and silicoman-
ganese. Spiegeleisen and ferroman-
ganese are used largely in the man
ufacture of steel as reducers and re-
carburizers. A considerable quanti-
ty of high grade ore is used as a
depOlariZer in the manufacture of
dry-cell electric batteries.

THE DISCOVERY OF OXYGEN
NOW

Today a monument stands in
England to commemorate
Priestley's discovery. Were
he alive he could read of thou
sands of lives which were saved
as a result of his work. Oxy-
gen is the only gas capable of
supporting respiration, and is
repeatedly used in the sick
chamber, to pull patient
through a crisis. Helmets
equipped with oxygen attach
ments enable the diver to go
to ocean depths, the aviator to
ascend into rarified air, the
fireman to stand in dense
smoke, and rescuers to descend
into gas-filled mines. So wide
are it's uses that some 4,000,-
900 cubic feet of this gas are
bottled in the United States
every year.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-08-08
THEN

Oxygen was discovered 140
years ago today. Joseph
Priestley, a dissenting English
clergyman who had turned
scientist, obtained the hither-
to unknown gas ny igniting
mercuric oxide. The oxygen
he thus produced he called
"dephlogistigated air." He
and Benjamin Franklin had
often discussed the mysteri-
Gus composition of air and
water. No one up to that time
had determined what element
it was in both which so invigo-
rated the physical energies of
man. 1t is said that Priest
ley made his actual discovery
of the oxygen while expert
menting in a brewery near his
home in England. He spent
the last ten years of his life in
the United States, voluntary
exile.

Before the French revolution
France was divided into three class
es or "estates"-the nobility, the
clergy and the common people.
We cannot close our eyes to the
fact that in America today, as far as
money matters are concerned, socie-
ty is again divided into three class
es-the rich, the poor and the great
middle class, neither rich nor poor.
The very rich have their troubles,
such as unwelcome publicity and the
annoyances and insults of agitators
of one kind or another, to say moth
ing of the burdens imposed by the
care of their fortunes and the en-
forced maintenance of an elaborate
scale of living.
The disadvantages and discomforts
of poverty are too we'll known to
need more than mention as we pass
on to consider the sorrows of the
great middle class, to which the great
bulk of our citizens belong.
At the present time this large part
of our population is being ground,
so to speak, between the upper mill
stone of the necessity Of keeping up
appearances and the neither one of
the high cost of everything.
Our grandmothers wore calico
dresses costing not more than 75
cents. 1t would now take the price
of ten to twenty such dresses to buy
a hat for one of our daughters in the
high school. What is more signif1-
cant our grandmothers earned the
dresses themselves by working per-
haps whole week at hOusewOrk. Do
our young girls earn their hats?
OF course, times are different, and
we don't expect our young daughters
to earn their clothing. But the fact
remains that the present generation
must pay exorbitantly for it's cloth
ing. There seems to be something
like conspiracy between the de-
signers and the manufacturers of
women's hats and dresses to prevent
the development of standardization
of styles.
Every year brings radical change
in cut. color and texture, compelling
the purchase of complete new out
fits unless a woman wants to be out
of style. which is nothing short Of a
calamity from the feminine point of
view, or the masculine, either, for
that matter.
This is one thing which for the
time is beyond our control but there
are many others involving our ex-
penditure of money which we can
regulate, and doing so is the only
hope of economic salvation for us of
the great middle class, for by so
doing we are enabled to save some
of our resources and build up a re-
serve fund the earnings of which
will exc out our own.-T. d. Mac
Gregor

BATON ROUGE, LA, June
1.-THE Senate on Wednesday
granted through Senate bill No.
81, by Mr.. Sundbery, toall levee
boards in the State the same
right which the New Orleans
Sewerage and Water Board is
here asking.
The Sundbery bill provides
that whenever levee boards deem
it economical to do so they may
purchase machinery and with
their exn equipment do contract
work on the levees without the
necessity of letting such work by
contract. The only qualification
made is that the work shall not
be done except with the appro-
val Of the Governor and of the
State Beard of Engineers.
Senator Amacker protested
against the adoption of this
principle, an on the high ground
that he is himself interested in
levee contract work he asked to
be excused from voting.
The bill was passed.
Another Smdbery bill that
was passed Wednesday gives
levee boards the right to antici.
pate their revenues for a period
of three years to provide payment
of emergency work. Certificates
Of Indebtedness are authorized
bearing 6 per cent interest. The
certificates are to be prima facie
evidence of valid Indebtedness
against the revenues of the dis
trict issuing them.-N. o. States.

BATON ROUGE. LA. June /!

1t is reported here this morn
ing with some degree of authority
that Governor Hall has concluded
to withdraw the appointment of
r. n. Sims. whom he appointed
State bank examiner shortly
after the issuance of an executive
order removing w. l.. Young, of
Shreveport. Mr.. Young's legal
right to the position was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
There has been considerable
curiosity to know what the
Governor would do in the Sims
case. One report had it that the
executive office took the position
that the case was decided III MIR.
Young's favor on technical
grounds and would prepare and
urge the passage of a bill giving
the Governor the right of removal
and curing the defects pointed
out by the Supreme Court.
That the Governor did contem-
plate q movement of this kind
appears certain, and it is not
positively known that he has
abandoned it. 1t is most sub
stantially reported that the
Governor sent for Representa-
tive from one of the Florida
parishes and asked him to intro
duce measure addressing the
present bank examiner out of
office. The representative re-
fused to present the measure, SO
the story goes.
So it is now claimed that the
Governor mas concluded to with
draw the name Of MIR. Sims and
that an executive message con-
tanning this announcement is
awaiting action by the Senate
The chances are some DISPOSE
ton will be made of the matter
by that body today.-N. o.
