Some Different Kinds Of silence.
How many different kinds of silence
there are!
The dictionary helpfully defines H.
lence as the state or act Of being ID
lent Further investigation discovered
or noise, absolutely sti1l.'' Freedom
from noise" sounds like q purely mega
tive quality and not at all variable,
doesn't it? Yet It seems to mo that
many sHences are positive. And surely
you have noticed how much onn a.
ience may differ from another IN ouai-
ity. For instance. take the. silence Of
q church during the prayer. and the
silence OF q crowd Of spectators at a
football game during~th instant while
the ball Is in the air after q kick.
Again, the silence in q perfectly
empty room il quite different from
the silence Of a room which has an
occupant. no matter how still he may
be keeping. There may be entire
freedom from noise in the second case
as well as the first, and yet when you
enter the second room you feel the dif-
ferent quality OF the silence.
The silence of the woods II quite
different from the silence OF q de-
serted street. And don't you think the
hush of the woods in winter when the
trees are bare and there in NOV on
the ground Is somehow quite different
from the warm summer silences?
When I was . child we often used
to go into the woods early in the
morning on Sunday. A favorite walk
took US to the top OF a hill whence
we could zee the towns ana cities FOR
miles around, although we were too
Tar off to hear any Of the city noises
except the church bells. We would
point out the various objects of inter-
est 20 each other, taking q child's de-
light In finding "our house" among the
clusters Of dwellings,. And then my
father would almost always say 'See
how quiet 1t -. Isn't there something
more peaceful about the silence on q
sunday morning than ON week
II the Sunday morning silence gave us
richer sense OF peace and serenity
than the silence of weekdays

FINE ORE SHOWING
IN ROCHESTER MINES

Harry II. Hunter has just returned
from a months trip to Nevada, much
Of the time being spent at Roches-
ter.
He says the Four is Mining com
eany, holding a lease on a block OF
the Rochester Mines company's
ground, recently struck the ore-shoot
at a vertical depth of 420 feet, and
three days ago had raised ON the ore
for forty feet, showing an orebody
eight feet wide that sampled at least
$40 a ton. AT this depth gold values
predominated, whereas on the sur
face the chief values had been in sill
yer.
Drifting to the north on the same
vein toward block 4, which is under
lease to Mr.. Hunter and associates,
and at forty-eight feet from the line
between the two blocks, the vein
shows five feet of ore assaying S1S.75
and with values increasing with prog
ress, giving almost positive assur
ance of an ore-shoot in this direction.
In general, the camp is in a flourish
ing condition, with many other leases
showing exceptionally we'll, but on
account of snow all are now blocked
with ore awaiting transportation
when the roads become passable for
freighting outfits. Private interests
are at work on a mill for the dis
trict and it looks as if the project
WOuld he carried to success within q
very short time.
Blocks / and 2 of the Rochester
Mines company's estate, also being
operated under lease, have been hold
ing up we'll to their wonderful record
of last year, but of late have been
compelled to curtail production to a
considerable extent because of the
congested conditions above referred
to.-Salt Lake Tribune.

VEIN CHANGES
DIP AT DEPTH
STATION WORK IN SILVER PICK
SHAFT REVEALS THAT
CONDITION

Geological conditions revealed by
the work of cutting a station at the
500-foot level make it evident that
the main shaft on the property of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mining COM
pany has been passing through the
big quartz vein revealed at the
point at which it changes its dip from
the west to the east. The quartz
mass, all of which yields average as.
says of 50 a ton and includes a ten
foot streak of $40 ore, was first
exposed at a depth of 396 feet.
The fact that although the shaft
has reached a depth of 500 feet with
cut revealing a second wall caused
General Superintendent Walter s..
Norris some time ago to conclude
that the ledge had changed it's dip
from west to east. His theory has
station work. The main station was
entirely finished and timbered several
days ago and the work of cutting a
pump station nearby is nov in prog
ress and will be completed in the
next few days. A new stationary cleo
trio pump, capable of handling 120
gallons of water a minute, has ar
rived at the property and will be in
stalled as soon as the station for it
has been completed.
Upon the completion of the pump
station, Superintendent Norris will
start cross-cuts east and west to de-
termine the exact width of the vein or
quartz mass. Drifting north and
south on the highest valued ore re-
vealed will follow. 1t is expected
that by the end OF neXt month de-
livery on the ground will be made of
the two-stage air compressor, an or
der for which was placed by Superin-
tendent Norris several weeks ago.
The compressor will be capable of OPP
Grating four 2 II inch piston machines
and upon its installation operation
of the property will go forward *
~Dcditiuusly. AT the present time and
throughout the entire history of the
property, the development work has
been performed with hand steel and
operations have been necessarily
slow.

VALUES INCREASE
ON THE TALlMAGE
NEW WINE SHOWS MORE THAN
a FOOT OF 5000 "A
TON ORE

A winze started several days ago
in the north drift on the vein on the
200-foot level of the shaft of the
Tallmage Mines company, at the
point at which it intersects a newly
discovered east and west cross vein,
has exposed fifteen inches of ore that
assays 5000 a ton, while more than
two feet of additional rock yields
assays Of $40 a ton.
In the east cross-cut from the shaft
on the 300-foot level, stringers of
mixed andesite and quartz a~ggregat-
ing two feet in width Thursday gave
average assays of $46.01 a ton. Man
ager c. w. Hayes is we'll pleased with
the new developments and is conf
dent that the exploration of the ore
bodies will lead to better results.

vERNAL VALUES
ARE IMPROVING
DRIFT ON 2OO-FOOT
NEARING RICH ORE
SHOOT

A slight improvement in values
indicates that the south drift on the
main vein on the 200-foot level OF
the shaft on the property of the YER
nal Mining company, in the Diamond
leld section of the Goldfield district,
is slowly but surely approaching its
objective point, namely, the down
ward extension of the rich ore shoot
opened up more than six months ago
on the 10O-foot level. Superintendent
Walter S. Norris figures that from
40 to so more feet of work will be
necessary to disclose the shoot IN the
200-foot level.
In the shoot of ore, a Wine was
sunk to a depth of &C feet below the
1OO-fool level. Returns of $50 and
$50 a ton respectively, were secured
from the first and second carload
shipments of ore extracted in the
winze, while the last and third car
load, SEN forth on October IL, ran
$91 a ton. . The improvement IN
values as greater depth was gained in
the winze leads superintendent Nor
ris to believe that the shoot will dis
close correspondingly larger values
when it is revealed by the 2OO-faot
level south drift.

NEVADA DOUGLAS IS
STILL. IMPROVING
PRESIDENT A. j. OREM ISSUE
REPORT ON PREVAILING
CONDITIONS

A. J.. Orem of Boston, Mass, pres
ident of the Nevada-Douglas Copper
company, says that late reports from
the mine may be summarized as fol-
lows
Conditions at the mine continue to
improve. We are mining one car
Of ~high-grade ore from the Ludwig
about every other day, and two cars
of ore a day from the Casting Copper.
Diamond drill hole No. 10, which was
started on the o~ut-cropping about
200 feet south of the Casting Copper
workings, has reached a depth of
about 10 feet. Throughout the whole
distance it has passed through vein
material showing strong teaching ac-
tiOns. Indications point to the eX-
istence of a large deposit of second
airy ore beneath this point. We have
found in almost every case in the
Casting Copper workings where
leached vein material was encoun-
tered that there was an underlying
secondary orebody of good CONNER
cial value. The body of leached
material that we are now passing
through is apparently very extensive,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
it will lead to an orebody below of
considerable magnitude.
We are running a cross-cut drift
from the south end of the 200 level.
We have about 80 feet more to run,
when it will cut into a body of sui
phide ore that was located in dia-
mond drill hole No. s. We are driv-
ing another cross-cut drift to the
north from the Casting Copper shaft
to intersect the Orebody encountered
in diamond drill hole No. Z, some
Is feet away. Stopping operations
have been started on the surface near
the Casting Copper gallows frame. We
expect to take out quite a large guam
tity of shipping ore at this point. The
ore exposed on the surface east OF
the Casting Copper shaft is about SOC
feet in length, with an average width
of about 80 feet. Almost this entire
o%ut-cropping shows ore Of shipping
grade.
Development work in the Casting
Copper is continuing to open up
considerable tonnage of ore running
from 21a per cent to SO per cent
in copper contents, besides some ship
ping ore of higher grade.

WILL OPERATE
THE CAST MINE
GOLDEN GATE MINING COMPANY
FILES ITS INCORPORATION
PAPERS

Preliminary to the resumption of
the Cast mine in Signal canyo in
the Lone Mountain district, about
six and a half miles from McLane's
station on the T%onopah and Goldfield
railroad. the Golden Gate Mining
company, through Attorney John F.
Kunz of Goldfeld, has filed with the
secretary of state its articles of in
corporation. The new corporation is
capitalized for 100000, divided into
as many worcestershire shares of the
par value of 81 each. The officers
OF the company are: President, c.
Cast; vice-president, T. Vicchio; sec
rotary. J.. Ninenago; directors, the
above named, with w. p. Woolsey
and P. j. Freeman, all of whom re-
side in Berkeley and Oakland, Cal.
The organization was completed
several days ago, following the ar
rival in Goldfield of President Cast
from his home in Berkeley. Mr.. Cast
stated hal on account of the absence
of suitable quarters in the ground
for the accommodation of employees
during the winter season he closed
the property down January %, but
that houses will be erected and oper-
ations resumed in the nea future.
Mr.. Cast has been operating the
property internationally for the last
nine years and with such work has
obtained results that make it certain
that it has the earmarks OF a good
mine. The property is but a short
distance from the famous Nevada AL
pine mine, which has a splendid
record for the production of ship
ping ore. The formation and vein
system of the two properties are
identical, with an abundant supply
of water and wood close at hand. The
Cast mine has been opened up 10 a
considerable extent with two tun-
neIs. an incline shaft, and drifts, in
all of which there are excellent
showings CT indications giving prom
Use of further disclosures Of ore.
