stone covers an area of 80 square
miles. Underlying this limestone is
a sheet of quartzite varying in thick
ness from 200 to 600 feet. Both the
limestone and the quartzite dip at an
angle of about 80 degrees to the
southwest. Underlying the quartzite
is metamorphic granite. Several
large faults run through the basin in
an easterly and westerly direction and
system of veins and dykes having
north and south strike cut through
the limestone.
Ore Dep0sits-So far the ores have
all been found in the limestone in the
form of carbonates, calco-pyrites and
bornite. The average value of the
ores mined has been from $40 to 500
per ton, the values being about two
thirds in silver and one third in cop
per, with from three to five dollars in
gold. The ore mined to date have
been found in the bedding planes of
the limestones but near the verticals.
AS yet the contact between the lime
stone and the quartzite has not been
explored, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that here is where the larger
bodies of ore will be found.
History-The first important dis
covery of ore in Cave Basin was made
late in August, 1913, on the Dowell
property. The ore was discovered in
a shaft at depth of 20 feet. From
this prospect four or five small ship
ments of from two to five tons each,
were made, having an average value

Ignacio and Bayfield,. The residents
of both towns have displayed COM
mendable enterprise in letting the out
side world know how they can reach
the new district via their respective
towns and we also will say that mer-
chants in the two places are able to
equip prospectors with most every
thing needed. What we want is to
get the people to come and open up
the mines and our people should at
least let the fact be known that ac-
cess is just as easy via Durango. That
investors will come to Durango is as
certain as day and night because they
will want to investigate smelling con-
ditions. AS to the outlet for the ores
of the camp, it is immaterial. They
can be hauled to Durango direct to
the smelter, or to Ignacio and then
by rail, the grade being an easy one
down Pine river. With the camp
opened up it will be the duty of the
county commissioners to see that the
road from Durango is placed in the
best possible condition with grades
reduced, and the same consideration
should be given the road down the
Pine to Ignacio. True facts should be
advertised and the Board of Trade
will be doing the proper thing to
have a map made Of the mining ter
ritory of this section, something like
that issued by the Alamosa people,
showing the Platora district, and the
different routes by which Cave Basin
NAV be reached In advance of such
map we reproduce cut made few
wears ago for the Board of Trade
showing the topography of the coun-
try and the watersheds, the latter be-
ing the real objest of the map. A
study of the map will show that Du-
ranpo is the center of vast mining
section. To the west Of us is the La
Plata and east, Mancos districts,
reached by both Durango, Hesperus
and Mancos. To the north of US is
Silyerton, the center of vast district
of fissure veins and producing mines
To the east of US is shown the forma-
ton and various streams touching as
far as the San Luis valley.

head of the Florida shows the loca-
tion Of the Durango water reservoirs

Now as to distances: 1t is about
80 miles from Ignacio and about 2s
from Durango. The roads by both
routes are in about the same condi-
ton with the exception that two di-
vides are crossed by the Durango
route but the grades are very slight
especially coming this way. In this
review The Herald has endeavored
to be fair to both sections of La
Plata county. There should be no ILL.,
feeling engendered between Durango
Bayfield, and Ignacio. Let the real
facts be known. Let the Durango
Board of Trade have a map made
showing the location Of the basin as
well as the location of the mining
districts tributary to Durango from
the west and north to include San
Juan county, patterned somewhat af.
ter the map in this issue designed fol-
the purpose of showing the mountain
streams of this southwest. The mar
should show the two routes to the
basin, including length and general
accessibility. The advantages of Du.
range as an outfitting point can be
set forth, at the same time let Du.
range, as the center, give equal jus.
tice to lgnacio and Bayfield,, as whai
helps those towns helps Durango anc
what helps Durango helps all of La
Plata county and the San Juan Basin
1t is only right to say that it viii
be the last of April before the snow
will permit prospecting or easy ac
cess to the basin.

Durango and Cave Basin.

Durango and Cave Basin.
This is subject that is agitating
many of our people to quite an extent
That the new mining district is going
to make good is evident. Some may
hold that it is one of the kind of
camps discovered just before snow
q flies and doomed during the winter
months. Not so. Sufficient develop
ment took place last fall to justify all
that is claimed for the value of the
ores.
The camp will no doubt be visited
by thousand or more prospectors to
be followed with investors and mining
engineers. The people of the state
generally are looking to mining as
the great wealth producer and the
fame of Cave Basin is already well
advertised throughout the borders of
the state and just as soon as condi-
tions justify there is going to be a
large influx.
The question is asked, "why don't
Durango advertise as the gateway and
the supply point?" So far, very
good. We will admit that Durango
is the pivotal center and we feel
confident that majority of the men
coming to investigate will come to
Durango first, at the same time it
would not be in place to say that this
is the only point. Durango is the
metropolis of La Plata county and is
interested in the upbuilding of every
section, hence The Herald is pleased
to see the activity displayed by both

ALTOONA, Pa, March 23.-At

History and Formation.

John C. Herr, the metallurgist and
well known citizen of Durango, now
located at Bayfield,, contributes an
article to the last issue of the Bay
field Blade from which we make the
following extracts:
GeOlogy-The formation consists of
a sheet of limestone varying in thick
ness from 100 to 1000 feet, consist
ing of sandstones, shales, and then
bedded limestones, and belonging to
the Carboniferous period. This lime

After the map is prepared space
should be secured in Denver and
Pueblo papers giving information
along lines in this article in which
both Ignacio and Bayfield, should join.
In fact there is county funds on hand
for advertising purposes and it should
be used to the welfare Of the county
as a whole. 1t would have been q
very easy matter for the Board Of
Trade to have spent the money last
year in various advertising schemes
as many were presented but the direc-
tors believed the board should get
along as cheaply as possible and save
money for emergencies and it looks

of about $75 per ton. At abou. the
same time the Accord property and
the Tom Boy, both located about
three miles north of the Dowell prop
erty, were discovered and several
small shipments of ore averaging
about 800 per ton were made from
each. High grade float of the same
character as found on the Dowell,
Accord and the Tom Boy properties
can be found in the wash in many
places throughout the camp, making
it appear that the ore deposits extend
over a large area. Considering the
small amount of work done so far,
and the high grade of the ore found
to date it would seem as though this
new camp should develop very rapid
ly and with every indication of be-
coming ne of the largest in the state
of Colorado.
Economic Conditi0ns-Cave Basin
lies at the head of the beautiful Pine
River valley, noted for its rich agri-
cultural and grazing lands. At the
head Of the valley, within few miles
of the mining camp, there is 20-foot
vein of coal of the very best quality
The Cave Basin country is covered
with heavy growth of timber suit
able for both mining and lumber pur-
poses, and the Pine and Vallecito
rivers could furnish an abundance OF
water power.

LARGER ARMY FOR JAPAN.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Japan, October 30.-A larger
army and more ships for the navy were
recommended by Count Okuma, the
prime minister, at a meeting of the
governmental parties called to arrange
their program for the imperial diet,
which will assemble December ).
After careful consideration of the
problem of national defense from the
viewpoints of diplomacy and finance,
said the premier, the ministry has
come to the conclusion that the inter-
national situation does not permit the
postponement of an increase in the
army" The premier admitted that the
greater part of the money saved by
economies effected in recent years,
which had been intended for home un-
dertakings, has had to be used for war
expenses. Nevertheless the cabinet IA
vored two more divisions in the army
and an increase in the navy.

BRITISH MADE TO SUFFER.
Austrian Government Adopts Rigor'
GUS Policy in Retaliation.

VENICE, via Paris, November 21.-The
police of Vienna are adopting much
more severe measures against English
people remaining in that city. During
the past few days many Britishers have
been arrested and interned. and the
rest, irrespective of age or sex. are
now forbidden to leave their homes
between o'clock in the evening and
6 o'clock in the morning or to visit
cafes or other public places.
An official announcement states that
these steps have been taken Sin view
of the wretched situation of Austrians
and Hungarians interned in belligerent
states, especially England" and that as
a consequence of the condition of in
termed citizens of Austria Hungary. the
treatment of citizens of hostile coun-
tries who are residents of Vienna, par
ticularly the British, will be much more
severe.
The statement says that these meas
ures will be enforced 80 long as there
Is no certainty that Austrian subjects
in England are being accorded better
treatment" It is added that foreigners
who are interned will be well
treated. .

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Important advantages, though
not of a decisive nature, are
claimed today by the French war
office. Germany's new attack to-
ward the eastern end of the battle
line across France, with the sup
posed purpose of isolating the
fortress of Verdun, is
said in the French official state
ment to have been thwarted, at
least temporarily.
There was irreconcilable con-
Aict in the reports from Petrograd
and Berlin concerning the fight
ing in the east. In Berlin it is
said officially that great expecta-
tons are entertained of a decisive
defeat of the Russians. The con-
f1ict spreads over many battle
fields, from the farther end OF
Galicia almost to the Baltic, but
the most important fighting is
now at Lodz. The German mill
tary authorities state that their
offensive at Lodz has made prog
ress, and that in the region of
Plock the enemy is still in flight.
Semi official reports from Petro-
grad, however, state that the Ger
mans are being opposed success
fully. The new attempt to close
in on Warsaw, it is said, has
failed, with heavy losses for the
Teutonic allies.
Servia has broken the silence
she maintained for several days,
to deny the Austrian claims to a
great victory. The Servian lega-
ton at Athens, while admitting
that the Austrians compelled a
retreat from Valjevo, states that
the Servians withdrew in good Or
der without any serious fighting,
and that they are now occupying
advantageous positions, ready to
engage the advancing Austrians.
The Khedive of Egypt, Abbas
Hilmi, who was reported several
days ago to have cast his lot with
the Sultan of Turkey, his spiritual
leader, is said in Paris to have
Joined the Turkish forces in Pal
estine, preparatory to leading an

Official Government Commits
sion viii Visit Steel Mills
in Pennsylvania.
TEMPER OF CONGRESS
is FOR FEDERAL PLANT
Facts Concerning Manufacture to Be
Obtained by Tillman, Padgett
and Strauss.

The official congressional and naval
investigation into the cost of maintain
ing government-owned armor plate
plant will begin probably Monday, as
the special committee composed of
Senator Tillman, Representative Pad
gett and Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss
proposed to leave this city for Pitts
burgh tomorrow night.
The first plant to be examined will
be the Carnegie mill, which has COW
cred the sides of many an American
ship with the toughest modern she'll
resisting material. Elisha Theall, clerk
to the House naval affairs committee,
will accompany the special investi-
eating commission.
Following the examination of the
Carnegie plant the commission will ex-
anime the costs of operation and the
output at the Bethlehem and Midvale
works. the other members of the big
trio which has supplied the navy with
steel for years past.
Will Study Steel Making.
The commission will make use of the
material bearing on the cost of armor
production already collected by the
Navy Department and laid before Con-
gress when it was announced that the
inquiry to be made now would not be
limited in any way by what has gone
before. A close study of every one of
the practical phases of steel making
will be made, with special reference
to the difference between the govern
ment requirements in the matter of
naval steel and those laid down in
commercial process. A mass of in
formation already has been gotten TO-
gether regarding the cost Of armor
plate production abroad, which is ex-
pccted to serve useful purpose and
4 basis of comparison.
Not First Investigation.
This is not the first investigation
into the costs of making armor plate
which the government has prosecuted
There have been other Investigations,
but the temper of the present Congress
seems a little more inclined to the
actual establishment of government
ton of armored steel is mentioned in
Congress it is more than likely to pro-
duce an outbreak in favor of owning a
steel plant, to be operated by the Navy
Department. The present contracts are
at about $425 a ton for steel armor
which is slightly lower than previous
contracts. Members of the House naval
affairs committee are of the belief that
the price allows a very considerable
margin for profit.
Congressman interested in a govern
ment-owned plant do not believe it
would be wise to have all armor steel
made there, but that it would help to
reduce the prices paid by the govern
ment for steel bought at the three big
works.
