BEGIN SINKING
TO 500 LEVEL
WORK ON SUBSTANTIAL SCALE
Is STARTED ON CCPRITE
PROPERTY

Work was started last Monday on
the Jupiter property, in the Cuprite
district, fourteen miles south of
Goldfield, where Manager w. S. Ev-
ans has lately completed the erec-
ton of necessary buildings for an
extended campaign of development.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to sink without interruption
to a depth of 500 feet and to pros
pect the surrounding territory by
laterals from the 200-foot level
downward. Ore of high grade, MANI
of the samples assaying over 500
per ton, has been found In seams
appearing at the surface, and the
property is ira, ersed by strong and
highly mineralized veins. Surface
conditions here are pronounced to
be identical with those of the Bis
bee, Arizona, district.
On the Kurigen-Smith-Ev Evans
property, which has been under pro-
cess OF development for some time
past and in which ore of shipping
grade has been exposed on the 1856
foot level, preparations are being
made to sink the main shaft anoth-
er lift of 100 feet and to prospect
the ground at this depth. The
property was examined recently by a
prominent mining engineer and ge-
ologist, who stated in his report
that there was good promise of find
ing deposits of pay ore in consider
able volume at greater depth, at or
below the permanent water level

FIRE DESTROYS
MINE BUILDINGS
YELLOW TIGER MINING COM
PANY SUSTAINS LOSS OF
$4,000

The buildings on the property Of
the Yellow Tiger Mining company,
in the eastern section of the Gold
field district, were destroyed and
the machinery housed in them badly
damaged by a fire of mysterious or
igin about $50 o'clock Wednesday
evening. The loss and damage is
estimated at $4,000 by General
Manager Charles ID. Wilkinson. The
company carried no insurance, so
far as known by him.
AS it was not discovered until two
hours after the miners employed at
the property left after their days
work, Manager Wilkinson is inclin-
ed to the belief that the fire was
started by an incendiary. The
flames consumed the hoist house,
compressor house, blacksmith
shop and transformer houses, crack
ed both drums of the 112 h. p. hoist,
burned two large electric motors and
melted the babbit bearings and brass
cummings of all the machinery. But
.or the fact that it is made of steel,
the immense gallows frame over
the 735-foot main working shaft
probably would have been destroyed.
Manager Wilkinson has advised
President H. A. Riedel and other of
ficials of the company in Denver,
Colo, of the fire and the resultant
damage, and he is certain that they
will direct him to Immediately pro-
ceed with the erection of new build

FIorence-GO
Although there have been no late
developments of unusual Importance,
the Florence mine continued during
the last week to give splendid ac-
count of itself General Superln-
tendent Harry b. Clapp is authority
for the statement that the output or
the mine in October totaled fourteen
carloads or approximately 700 tons
of ore, an increase of 200 tons over
the September yield. Since the first
of this month, one carload of ore has
been dispatched to the Miliers sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company. On the main Florence
vein stopping has been stopped above
the 200-fOOt level north and south
of the main shaft, but has been IN
augurated on the same ore body
above the 250-fOot level. On the
iatter level raising continues above
an old northeast drift on three feet
of shipping ore. On the 35O-foot
level, raising is also in progress
above the west crosscut off the main
north drift The raise is going up
on low grade quartz in the old
Wheeler lease vein, the purpose be-
ing to make a connection with the
2S0-fOot level of the leasehold,
which produced considerable rich
ore in the early days of the camp.
Above the main south drift on the
65O-foot level, new raise has been
started on eighteen inches of Sc to
$40 ore in the main Florence vein.

ONE DRIFT IN TALMAGE EXPOS
ES THREE SHOOTS OF
ORE

Development work being prose-
cuted by the Talmage Mines COM
pany is steadily increasing the al
ready large tonnage of shipping and
mill grades of ore available in the
property, situated on the eastern
slope of Vindicator mountain, in
the northeastern section of the Gold
field district. Manager c. w.
Hays, who recently returned to camp
after a several months business
visit to Los Angeles, states that the
property is at present in better ply
sical condition than at any previ-
Gus time.
In a distance of 245 feet. the
south drift on the west vein on the
25O-foot level has revealed three
separate ore shoots of a combined
length of nearly 200 feet, the face
yielding average values of $50 per
ton. The drift is advancing along
the hanging wall of the vein, which
shows a total width of twenty-six
feet in a crosscut from wall to wall,

Streaks ranging from two to eight
inches in width. exposed by the
drift along the hanging wall of the
vein, have yielded assays as high as
$500 a ton.
On the 300-foot level, the south
drift on the east vein has revealed
about four feet of $40 ore, with a
four-inch streak of $45 ore. for its
full length, sixty-eight feet, from the
east crosscut from the shaft. Pre-
paratory to the resumption of work
in the face, miners are engaged in
cleaning out the east crosscut on the
35O-foot level at a point where 1t
recently caved following the cut
ting of a sixteen-foot vein. giving
values of from IS to $40 ton. The
crosscut, which is out ninety-eight
feet from the shaft, Will be contin-
ued to intersect another vein. which
outcrops on the surface for width
of thirty feet and gives values OF
from 50 to Sc ton. 1t is expected
that this vein will be reached in the
crosscut with an additional forty
feet of work.

Farm Wages Keep Going Up

Wages of farm laborers have increas-
ed more rapidly than those of the city
workman during the past 20 years, &
Department of Agriculture investiga
ton has revealed. During the past
year the pay of the farm hands increas,
ed 81 per cent; the increase has beer
II per cent in the past four years, and
IS per cent. since 1902.
While the inquiry, the results of
which were made public recently, dealt
particularly with the United States, in
most other countries also farm wages
increased rapidly. The investigators
discovered, however, that while wages
went up about 81 per cent. from 1900
to 1910, farm land values nearly doubl-
ed in that decade, showing, they say,
that in the distribution of the pro-
ceeds from farming operations, a larg-
er proportion now goes to capital &C
count and less to labor account than
formerly"
The wide difference in wage rates in
various sections of the country, the re-
port pointed out, is gradually lessening,
although there is still considerable vari-
ance.

Importance Of Proper Pruning

Too much importance cannot be at
tached to the operation of pruning
young fruit trees. Pruning should be
done now before the buds swell. Zach
tree has its individuality and the primer
should know the fundamentals OF the
operation in order to develop trees
along proper lines.
Representatives of the School OF
Horticulture of the Maryland Agrlcul-
tural College are now arranging TO
pruning and spraying demonstration
in different parts of the State. AT
growers who have young orchards es-
pecially those who are not thoroughly
familiar with the proper methods OF
pruning should communicate with the
College and seek its help at this impor-
tant time in the orchard. The College
will be pleased to arrange for as many
demonstrations is its means will per
nit.
Old apple orchards should be reclaim
ed by pruning and spraying. All rult
trees should be sprayed with the Con
centrated Lime Solution before the
buds open.
Any one desiring information along
these lines should write to the School
of Horticulture, Maryland Agricultural
College, College Park, Md.

ment of Education in the public schoo Is
of Maryland this year received adequate
attention at The Marlborough High
School on Maryland Day. Mr.. Jackson
presided Thu School presented an
appropriate program. and Mr.. j. G..
Boss, Jr., came from Laurel, respond
ing to an invitato rendered by the De-
partment, to make an address. His
coming and the presence of visitors,

Maryland" and 1.-The Star-spangled
Banner" were sung by the School,.

Miss Wilson, sang "My Baby Bunting
to the delight of all present, and was
congratulated.
Mr.. Boss made singularly appro-
pirate address, tracing the growth of
Baltimore from its early days to its
present commanding position in the
Union as one of its greatest industrial
and commercial ports. He spoke of
the heroic stand of the Maryland Line
under Sterling in the War of the Rovo-
luton, immortalized in poetry by Har-
bong; dwelt upon the achievement of
Maryland soldiers in the War of 1872,
and the crushing rebuke administered
to the proud British Navy at Baltimore
in an hour when our National Anthem
sprang into existence; and he predicted
that problems confronting the country
in future would be peaceably solved

M. A. c. Offers Scholarships.

A new series of scholarships to the
Maryland Agricultural College, opon
to graduates of accredited high schools,
was announced last week by President
H. J. Patterson on behalf of the board
of trustees of the institution.
Each Of these scholarships is valued
at $50 year or $500 for regular four
year student, which covers every ex.
pense at the college GU side of board
and lodging. This will enable many of
the high school boys to avail them
selves of the advantages for technical
education and free tuition at the lowest
possible Cost.
An additional scholarship will be
offered each year until there are four
for each high school, which will then
provide for new one every year as g
permanent feature. 1t is anticipated
that this offer will meet with the APP
prevail of the high schools throughout
the State.
