into the large 50-ton railroad cars,
has been averaging $50 a ton, while
that sent to the Bonnie Clare mill
has returned assay values of $12 a
ton. Superintendent Norris stated
that the mine is steadily improving
in physical condition and gives prom
Use of maintaining it's new rate of
production indefinitely.
Conditions of an unusually pleasing
character prevail on the 921-foot
level, commonly referred to as the
90O-foot level, there being a note
worthy improvement in the ore re-
serves during the last week. In a
raise, known as Ala A and recently
started in east drift No. Ala near
the line between the Poleverde claim
and the Velvet claim of the Goldfield
Merger company, five feet of ore is
exposed. In the center there is a
two-foot streak which Thursday
yielded average assays of 1922 a ton,
while against the loot and hanging
walls of the vein there is an ag-
gregate of three feet of rock carry
ing values of $22 a ton.
At a height of SO feet, raise 413 A,
which was put up from the end of
west drift AIS on the same orebody
On the same (900) level, "hOled
through" Wednesday into the main
stope. On both sides of the top of
the raise there has been exposed
three feet of $40 ore and four feet
of $40 ore. From the end of Ala
east drift to the end of 413 west drift,
it is 102 feet, all within Jumbo EX-
tension territory, and there is an ex-
cellent showing for the entire dis
lance. In the main stope (412), a
three-foot streak of ore asSaying $115
a ton has been found to penetrate the
hanging wall of the vein and the
work Of following it is now in prog
ress. AT a lower point in the stope,
a raise will be started to get under
this streak of rich ore. In the stOpe
proper, fourteen feet of $40 ore is
now being broken down.
Twenty feet above south crosscut
412, a new raise, known as ABB,
has revealed the orebody at that
point. A sample taken by Superin-
tendent Norris Thursday night across
three feet of ore on the south side
Of the top of the raise yielded values
of 1894 per ton.
For a lensli. OF i25 feet and an
average width of 6 feet, according to
Superintendent Norris, ore averaging
$40 a ton is exposed in the stope
above the 40 intermediate level,
which is SO feet above the 900-foOt
level. This particular stope is 1872
feet west of the line of the Merger
estate. From sos south drift on
the 1017-foot level, an east cross-cut
is being advanced toward the line of
the Merger property to intercept the
downward extension of the orebody
on the 900-foot level, described
above. With two shifts of miners,
work in this cross-cut is being ad-
vanced at the rate of eight feet a day.
The Slopes on the other levels of the
mine are maintaining their normal
output of ore.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

In quoting from Carrara Obelisk
describing a discovery on a lease in
the Carrara district the Tribune in
a recent issue, enormously stated that
the IRE assayed $1,000 a ton. The
mistake occurred by reason of a typo
graphical error. The value of the
ore found yielded 1920 per ton.

cellent discovery.

SERVICE
Charges for Telephonesin This
Country Not Higher Than in
Other Countries.

In every discussion which is pre-
cipitated on the subject of government
ownership of the telephone lines, the
advocates of such course are accus-
toned to assert that the charges for
service in this country are higher
than those made by many foreign
governments which now operate the
national telephone systems and which
furnish supposedly satisfactory
grade of service.
No comprehensive study OF the aver
age rates for such service in the
United States, England, France, Ger
many and other European Countries
develops this to be the fact. As has
been pointed out by numerous inves-
tigators, the estimated cost OF tele-
phone service per year to the aver
age subscriber in the United States is
S32 AS against this figure 1t is found
that the average costs in European
countries. based on the latest official
reports and taken into consideration
the relative purchasing power Of mon
ey as indicated by operators wages
In those countries, are approximately
thirty-three per cent higher in ,Switz-
crland and The Netherlands than in
this country, 100 per cent higher in
Sweden, Denmark and Norway, 10
per cent higher in Great Britain and
STA and almost 200 per cent higher in
France.
These figures are perhaps as au-
thentic as any which can be deter
mined on the basis OF average reve-
nueS and values. That the United
States makes a favorable showing in
deed, under its operation of the tele-
phone systems by private enterprise,
is hardly to be disputed. And par
t., k,,f-, sy,fr~
sideration the real comparative merits
of telephone service in this country
and abroad, does the balance swing
strongly in our favor. 1t is interesting
toread from the writings of prominent
foreign observers, each OF them deal
ing with the quality of the service in
his own country.
In work entitled Public Owner
ship in France Paul Leroy Beaulieu,
professor of political economy, says:
1T is not superfiuous to say here a
few words about one Of the most re-
cent French state monopolies-the
telephone The complaints under this
peed are universal -" The appar-
atus is antiauated and the employees in
capabIe. AS 4 rule it takes many min
utes to get a connection in Paris, and

cities even when they are not far

That prominent Paris newspaper

of 4 party Of tourists in August Of last
wear stated: "Of the fifteen cities
constituting the relay points FOR the

able to get telephone connection with

IN England, where the operation Of
the telephone system Was some years
ago faken from private hands BY the
government, there Is aEperfec E storm
OF protest against the duality or ser
vice furnished The ''EEeetFical He
view" of London, describes conditions
IN July OF 1918 as follows. The Brit
ish public, having now possessed its
very own telephone service for some
eighteen months, Is awakening. 1t has
dawned upon the intelligence OF John
BuII that perhaps, after all, national
own erstip Is not all that it's cracked
Itup to be and that expert management
in the hands of a highly developed
commercial and technical stan is not
so detrimental to the public welfare
as he had been told
The following criticism Of the tele-
phone service in Germany, made by
Herr Haberland 4 deputy, on February
1S last. during the debate in the
Reichstag on the German postal bud
get. is commentary on the conditions
in that country. The deputy said IN
part: i@iComplaint- Is made Of the long
time that a subscriber must wait IN
order to get long distance connexions
especially connections between the
West and the more central parts of
the country, "a@% for years the Inn
peria1 postofice has been acquainted
with these complaints. "Ss" In 1910
1t was proved that the average time OF
waiting to connect by telephone ser
vice between Dusseldorf and Berlin
was still over an hour "S*% later con-
ditions again grew worse. The aver
age time required to get a connection
with Berlin Is one and one-haf hours.
According to reports from a number
of firms, If the operator be requested
to get Berlin the general reply is that
unless conversation be classified as
urgent the connection Will take sew
eraI hours. s%A@ Our business life
and trade suffer considerably on ac-
count of this lack Of telephone facili-
ties which exist"

W. |. COMPTON
HAS FINE CROP

w. L. Compton was exhibiting G
some oats, corn and pumpkins
from his farm last Saturday,
which shows Mr.. Compton to be
decidedly in the front rank of
farmers. The oats sample was
taken from a field of eight acres
that stands between five and six
feet in height, and has very
heavy straw and is we'll headed.
His corn is of good size and will
make a good crop if not damaged
by frost, and the frost will have
to come at once to damags it,.
Many stalks bear two good ears
each, and he has one hill he is
leaving to mature, which has
seven good ears. 1t goes without
saying that Mr.. Compton has no
complaints to make about his
crops this year.
