Summary Of E0entS.)

Fighting of the most appalling
kind has proceeded for twenty
days without let-up between the
great German and French-Brlt1sh
armies stretched across northern
and eastern France, and still
there is no decisive result. Off
cial reports from both Paris and
Berlin state that the battle lines
of the opposing forces have not
varied more than ten miles III
nearly three weeks.
The German right wing, under
Gen. Won Kluck, has been weak
ened by steady assault from the
allies, in the country west and
northwest of Rheims. The Ger
man left wing, under Crown
Prince Frederick William, has
made an advance against the
French in the eastern field, and
is said to have silenced some of
the important defenses around
Verdun, France, near the Asa
clan boundary
Big Gun Fighting.
Where the right and left wings of
the opposing armies meet, roughly in
the neighborhood of Rheims, the fight
ing has been mostly an artillery duel
at long range The opponents are es-
tablished on the banks of the Aisne
river The Germans are also en-
trenched and embattled in the foot
hills of the Ardennes mountains.
Losses beyond comprehension have
been suffered by both sides. The sol
diers have suffered greatly, not only
from the natural hardships of warfare,
but from the autumn floods which
have filled trenches and caused much
pneumonia and rheumatism.
Both armies have been steadily re-
enforced during the last two weeks.

OPENS UP BIG BODY
OF Low GRADE ORE
PAUL MANUEL REPORTS Mill
LETT DISTRICT IN FULL.
SWING

Paul Manuel is in from Millett,
where he is going ahead with several
properties, all of which are looking
well, and he hopes to prove up a
real mine before the next snow flies,
says the Tonopah Bonanza. Manuel
is associated with Bob Govan in
what is known as the Buckskin group
five and one-half miles west of Mil
lett, in the main range adjoining the
old Cleveland patented property. In
the past week Mr.. Manuel opened Is
feet of low grade ore that promises
to develop into a big proposition, as
the ledge averages $40 to SIS. The
find was made in an open cut where
a tunnel was started right on the
ledge and the ore body has been
drifted on for Is or 20 feet. This is
on the Buckskin, which was located
April 4th. There are four claims In
the group and Mr.. Manuel says there
is no such a thing as a stringer, but
a real substantial body of ore. The
snow has all gone off and prospectors
are getting busy in the district.
In Park canyon a couple of men
are working on the old Hattie group
and the Twin river property under
Bazinet, Bond and Jack Rosen Is
going ahead. The D. D. Sullivan mill
at Millett is getting ready to resume,
as it is said that another deal is on
by which a strong company will take
hold and operate the plant to ca
pacity.

If all the property of the Consoli-

Mines company there would be about

suggest the idea that it is operated

Until recently all operations we're
through the Butcher Boy shaft, but
the Minnesota shaft on the adjoining
claim was deepened to 1926 feet and
connection made with the Butcher
Boy workings. From the bottom of
the shaft drifts are being run to the
east and north to tap the copper ore
deposit at greater depth. These
drifts have now been extended about
400 feet each and rapid progress is
being made with three shifts, keep
ing the work going "a hours a day.
Jack-hammer drills are in use in the
mine, and four of them are being
operated with good success. At pres

Part of the force is engaged in de-

Unofficial reports as to the devel-
opment work say there is a very large
deposit of high grade copper bearing
ore opened in the part of the prop
erty which has been prospected with
every evidence hat 1t will be found
to extend to great depths. Consider

Taylor, land with plenty of water

the mill, which was started up at
noon Wednesday. will continue to

workings for many months to come

twelve miners working in the parallel
vein, where we recently uncovered
high grade values. This ledge we

REVIVAL IN MINING ON
THE MOJAVE DESERT

There is a general re-awakening
in mining on the MOjave desert. both
in potash and borax propositions and
in gold camps, says the Randsburg
Miner. One of the richest gold
stries in the history of the desert has
been made near Needles. The Calico
silver mine, n of the most famous
in early days, has been reopened. The
Bonanza King, which once produced
millions of dollars, is to be worked
again. The capacity of the Dale camp
is to be enlarged to 700 men. At
Baxter the lime stone deposits give
work to 55 men. Scores of other
districts are getting buster, and when
the money market loosens up the
mining interests in the desert and
elsewhere along the Sierra Nevadas
will boom.
1t is reported hat many of the
old mines at Soledad Hill, near Mo-
jave, are oon to be reopened. These
mines have been imperative for sew
eral years and it is now expected
that they will soon be employing a
large force of men, as during their
greatest period of activity in 1904.
One mine has been recently opened
with a crew of 40 men with a pros
pect of putting more on soon.
