DRIFT ON 700 LEVEL IN
BLUE BULL TO Be RUN
GOOD PROGRESS MADE DURING
MAY IN DEVELOPMENT
OF PROPERTY

At the Blue Bull property, the
east crosscut on the 7OO-foot level
recently cut the vein in which some
values were obtained on the 5OO-foot
level some time ago. On the 700
foot level the vein shows width OF
four feet but at the point intersected
it carries no values.
Manager Darcy will soon start
drift north of the vein on the 700
foot level with a view to catching the
downward extension Of the orebody
exposed on the 5OO-foot level. The
west crosscut on the 7OO-foot level
was extended 36h feet during May
with no change in conditions.

tions have been resumed in the north
east drift into the Velvet on the 921-

cut designed to prospect for parallel
lodges. In the stope above the drift,
seven feet of ore that averages $1O.43
ton is being extracted. The other
workings in the mine continue to
yield their usual quota of ore.

Atlanta Mines
A tremendous increase in the flow
of water has necessitated a suspen-
sion of the exploratory work in the
vein of the 175O-foot level of the
property of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany until larger pumping equip
ment can be installed in the shaft of
the Goldfield Merger Mines company,
through which the operation of the
former property is being prosecuted.
At present Manager Darcy is con-
fining work to repairing the Merger
shaft and the long crOsscut on the
1750-foot level southwest crOsscut
into the Atlanta ground. The in
creased flow of water was encounter
ed by a branch crOsscut run from
the main crOsscut at point about
100 feet north of the face of the
north drift on the vein. For five days
following the disclosure of the hang
ing wall of the vein in the new
crOsscut, the flow of water averaged
$4,000 gallons daily. By closing
main crosscut about 600 feet from
the Merger shaft, the flow has been
reduced to approximately 100000
gallons a day.

The Tariff and Potatoes.

One year ago, just before the Underwood
tariff was passed by congress. our farmers were
disturbed over the fact that a new tariff Ill
had placed potatoes on the free list. The Payne
law had JUST put a duty Of - cents per hushel
or about 30 cents per barrel. II was thought by
some that foreign potatoes would keep the price
down at home
What are the facts? The majority of Eastern
shore farmers have been able TO sell more
potatoes for $3.50 to s400 per barrel than they
did last year before the tariff became a law.
Potatoes are not any cheaper now than they
We're a year ago at this date. Facts and figures
know that more than 900 600 immigrants

ieyo US 1t IS not the Wilson administration
which has caused the sudden drop in prices.
We do not know how many potatoes have been
imported within the last thirty DAYS hut we do
know that moore than 1900. o00 immigrants
came to this country during the year. which
closed Juno 80. We willing to risk the
guess that not more than 5000 of that number
raised any potatoes for themselves.
We believe one reason for the drop in prices
Is because the poor consumers are unwilling
