CAST HAS H|GH-GRADE

hand and a southwest-slope exposure
that gives it an ideal climate and
makes it workable the year around.
Mr.. Cast has driven two tunnels
into the mountain and has sunk an
incline shaft, from which a drift has
been driven and from the latter a
winze has been sunk to the vein.
From this winze a drift has been
extended to a body of ore that has
yielded high-grade assays, in what
are known as the upper workings,
and from this orebody a shipment
was made of nearly three tons, taken
out in development; the product
yielding 1925 per ton, and assays of
the face in this ore maintaining the
same average value. Ore from this
drift remains on the dump and sam
pies on an average from $40 to $50
per ton.
The two adits have been driven
some distance apart and below the
lowest level reached from the shaft.
The No. 1 tunnel is in about 100
feet and it is believed that it will
penetrate the main vein within less
than so feet. The No. 2 adit, below
the No. 1, will have farther to go,
but it is in the former that the most
important discovery IN the property
has been made. This adit is now in
about 4S feet and has entered a
highly mineralized formation that is
not classed as a vein, although a
well defined foot-wall was cut
through and some rich ore exposed.
Assays from this point yielded $2.65,
$55.SS and $349.S1 per ton, the
principal value of the content being
silver, with some gold and an appre-
cable amount of lead, the last nam
ed metal being rare in this district
in surface workings but being re-
garded as a most encouraging fea-
ture of the discovery.
In working this property the tun-
nels are gaining nearly foot for foot
in depth and for this reason it has
become apparent that the ground
can be developed in a highly eco
nomical manner. Mr.. Cast and his
partner, Mr.. Vicchio, are about to
incorporate but nave not decided on
the name of their company and will
continue to carry out their plan OF
development. During the cold wea-
Their they have curtailed operations
and Just now are not operating, but
they are planning a more extensive
campaign of exploration in the near
future and the close proximity to a
shipping point and a ready market
for the character of ore they have
found are factors that encourage
them in the belief that they can
place the property upon a proht-
earning basis at small expense. 1t
is the plan at present to let con-
tracts for sufficient development
work to open up the main vein on
two lower levels by driving the two
adits that have already made some
progress into the mountain, and with
the present showing of high-grade
material in the upper workings and
in the No. 2. adit the owners nave
the most complete confidence ip
making a paying mine of their prop
erty.

Uses Snow PlOw

The Virginia and Truckee railroad
was recently compelled to resort to
the use of it's old snow pillow in MAX
City. In the vicinity of Silver City
the tracks were covered to a depth
of from three to four feet. In Vir-
ginia City, the snow was also very
deep.

WORK ON THE ORC

Operations on the Goldfield Orc
property continue along established
lines and three shifts are employed
in sinking the enlarged main shaft,
feet. The hanging wall of a strong
vein has been penetrated and the
formation is regarded as favorable
for opening up a body of pay ore
as it shows a good quality of quartz,
embedded in tale.

it was sampled at the time the bond
was taken being $55 per ton. The
ore now blocked out is said to be
of the value of $~1,250,OOO. 1t is
considered probable that the new
owners will soon construct a mill,
which will greatly benefit the entire
camp.
Howell & Liddell, lessees of the
Rex mine and mill and of the
Judge mine, which adjoins the EXC
Prince on the south, are opening up
two feet of good mill ore in what is
considered to be the Prince vein.
Stopping is in progress at the Judge
and also at the Rex mine, where
connections have been made with the
vein on the second level. The Rex
mill, which is to be operated as a
custom plant, has not started up
because of the bad weather, but is
ready for operation as soon as as
can be given that there
will be no interruption to the haul
ing of ore. A dozen lessees are in
operation on various properties which
will send their ore to the Rex plant.

LIND Is ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER CAMP OF LUNING

That the copper mining camp Just
outside of the town of .Luning is
one of the corners of the state, that
it is steadily growing, and hal the
shipments of ore to the smelter are
daily becoming larger are facts that
were CLEANED by the Appeal from
Harry Lind, who was in Carson
yesterday from that place.
Mr.. Lind is operating the prop
critics of the New York Copper Min
ing company at Luning and he
speaks ~fatteringly of the prospects
of his company. On what is known
as the Spanish woman's property
c. James has t~hirty-five men at
work getting the orebodies in shape
for continuous shipments, he hav-
ing contracted with the Mason Val
ley smelter people to furnish them
with a fifty-ton carload every day.
From the Anderson property,
which is under lease and option to
the Mason Valley Smelling com
pany, 10000 tons of r. have been
extracted and shipped, The royal
ties thus far received from the
shipments have met the payments
on the property as required by the
option.
On the Champion property a vast
mount of copper ore has been de-
veloped and blocked out, but work
has been discontinued by the own
ers till a better price can be secured
for the yellow metal.-Carson APP

President Howard II. Gross of National Soil Fertility League In the City, Speaks of the Work Al ready Accomplished

Among the visitors to the valley are Mir and Mrs. Howard H. Gross of Chi cago, who are staying at the San Mar cos Hotel, Chandler MT Gross is pres ident of the National Soil Fertility league, with headquarters at Chicago. and is a high authority upon agricul- ture. The league is composed of some of the most influential men of the na- ton, who have been supporting the movement for several years Among them is James J. Hill, St Paul, who is chairman of the advisory committee; EN-Presideut Taft Champ Clark, Franklin MacVeagh, William Jennings Bryan, Dr. Charles w. Van Hise. presi- dent of the University of Wisconsin, William (. Brown, late president of the New York Central Lines: and H. L. Nudge. president of the Rock Island railway. and others are officers and advisors of the league
 In speaking of the campaign that has been so successfully concluded in the passage by congress of the Lever agricultural extension bill Mir Gross said:
 The plan of the league was to have the federal government and the respec- tive states endow the agricultural col leses with a special fund. sufficient to enable them to establish and maintain

The money so appropriated must be used for inStruc- tiOns and demonstrations in the field and cannot be used at the college or for any other purpose than showing the tiller of the soil how to best conduct his operations

 ''The Levir bill passed the house of representatives on the 17th of January by vote of IT for to against and three weeks later it passed the senate by unanimous vote. the senate mak- ing one or two minor amendments. but increasing the appropriation total from three and a half millions to over five millions of dollars"
 MT. Gross said that the conference committed of the house and senate were now determining the amount of the appropriation and that in all prob ability the bill would go to the presi- dent for his signature, the present week. The first money available under the act, the unconditional appropria- tion. would be available July 1st, pro- Vided the provision of the act are ac- cepted on behalf of the state by Gov ernOr Hunt
 Mir Gross had an extended conference yesterday morning with the governor and went over the matter fully and says he found the governor enthusi- astically in favor of the proposition and that he assured MT.

CUPID NOW IS A SALT
 RIVER VALLEY BOOSTER
Captivates Couple Who Marry Here and Say They Will Come
 Back Soon

There's a new booster for the Salt River valley on the horizon today. His first names Dan, and his second name is-Cupid
 Dan sprang into existence as a judge of land that is good for agriculture and home building Sunday afternoon. when Thaddeus Wright. aged 40 of Fl Paso and Mayme L. Howell, also of the Dor der city, came to Phoenix as members of party from Los Angeles Phoenix and the valley charmed the coupie-so much so in fact that they called Court Clerk William E. Thomas from his home and induced him to fill out the blanks in a r;arriage license for them on Sunday.
 Soon after the license Nas issued, Superior Court Judge Philips was pre- vailed upon to cone down. He mar ried the Texans. MT. and Mrs. Wright left for Fl Paso. not however. until after they had remarked tC Judge Phillips that they felt a good deal ike returning to the Salt River valley and making their home here

next legislature would promptly
 act in the matter. So the people of Arizona may be assured that agricul-
 turally a new day is dawning that
 means much for the beautiful valleys i of this great state.
 1 In speaking of local conditions MT Gross said that he regarded this val 1 ley as one of the most beautiful and I promising places that he had ever visited, that the spirit of the people. l the delightful climate the fertile soil and the abundance of water. opens pos abilities that can hardly be matched pressed with the enthusiasm and the audacity with which the people backed 1 their belief in regard to Arizona. The 1 splendid city of Phoenix is an example | of it, but even more striking is the wonderful development that has taken | place at Chandler. The state is in the | making and under prevailing condi- | tiOns, the trained farm advisor. con- | templated by the Lever act. has a wonderful field for usefulness in these valleys
 MT. Goss said: "A few figures will | help the reader to understand in some | degree, the importance of the Lever 1 Act for the present and the future. Ac- 1 cOrding to the secretary of agriculture, l our present farm yield approXimated in | 1913 a value of ten billions of dollars and this enormous total was reached with an average yield per acre of less :, ;o1 l where the land is poorer and has been | farmed a thousand years longer than l our own. Our farm wheat average is l less than fifteen bushels, while that of western Europe is thirty bushels. and I Denmark. the best farmed country in ] the world has an average of over forty | bushels. Every agricultural authority ! in the country will agree that the car rying into effect of the Lever act will, | in the course of ten years, in all prob l ability double the output of the farms. 1 But let us say that the increase will be l only 30 per cent and that because of 1 the increase of production. the prices 1 should fall somewhat so that the net ! cash gain in crop value would he 20 per 1 cent over the present, or an increase of | two and a half billion dollars. This | increase will represent a gain in wealth every year equal to the combined net earnings of all the railroads of the 1 United States. It would be two and half times greater than the combined capital stock of all the National banks of the United States It would be a fund sufficient to build and pay for Pana ma canal every sixty days. In speak ing of this work. James J. Hill of St. Paul one of the greatest living ecOno- mists and authorities, says that this plan will result in more good to more people than any other enactment since the Civil War"
 MT. Gross in now calling upon the governors of various states. explaining the Lever act to them and arranging for state corporations. He finds the people everywhere enthusiastic for the plan and none more so than the people
 of Arizona.
 The plan in fact is an extension of work which has been going on in this
 state but the perpetuity of which is
 now assured.
