SIGN OF A GOOD COMMUNITY

One Of the best signs Of the
absolute value of q whole COM
munity is its attitude toward edu-
cation. Better than real estate
booms, or wonderful crops, or
brisk trade. or high land values,
is the fact that many of the ris-
ing generation are taking on a
higher education. More and
more this is getting to be the
most valuable asset of an individ-
ual who expects to succeed.
This community should be par
ticularly proud that there are so
many of its members enrolled in
the higher institutions of learn
ing. as indicated below:
Marie Bryce, Wooster, O.University.

NOR TiIEND MINES istOK
GOOD FOR BIG OUTPUT

Official reports from the mines
continue to show most favorable
conditions existing in the Union Con.
and Sierra Nevada mines, with ore
of good grade being extracted at
the various working points, says the
Virginia Chronicle. Particularly
couraging il the report from the
Joint Union and Sierra Nevada raise
from the $500 to the 2400 level,
where at the 100-foot point above
the 25Gt level an east cross
cut has been started with the face
exposing $50 ore. From the WORK
2s ears of ore were saved of an av-
erage assay value of SOFAS per
ton. This work being 100 feet
above the $500 level, where the ore
was fist encountered, greatly en-
hancos the future of both these
properties for a large ore prodoc-
ton. Commercial ore is now being
taken out at all working points IN
Union and from the Sierra Nevada
stope.

KINGMAN, Ariz., Dec. /. = The
B management of the United Eastern
Mining company is proceeding with
preparations incident to the con.
struction of a mill for the reduction
of it's vast tonnage of ore blocked
out. A new vertical working shaft,
of three-compartment size, measur-
ing 5 by 10 feet in the clear, has
been started and will be sent down
to a depth of 60 0feet. The new
shaft is located 700 feet north of
the present working shaft and rs
feet northeast of the point at which
the mill-bins will be situated. A
d~ouble-drum 150-horsepower cleo
trio hoist and other machinery has
been ordered for the new shaft. A
two-story office building, 43 by 50
feet, will soon be started, as will
also the construction of the mill
building.
j. Parks Claiming of Houghton,
Mich, consulting engineer of the
Adolph Lewissohn interests of New
York, in association with G. w. Long
and J.. l.. McIver of the United East
ern. has taken over from H. G. Put
ney the Putney group of II claims,
adjoining the Nellie on the west.
The new owners have organized the
Oatman Syndicate Mining company
as a close corporation for the devel-
opment of the property. 1t is their
intention to sink a 50O-foot shaft OH
the ground. The Putney is %traverseo
by the extension of the Nellie vein.
General Manager w. F Gray of
the Times Mining company reports
that a cross-cut from the bottom or
the old 6O-foot shaft on that prop
erty has revealed 10 feet of ore,
from which he recently obtained an
assay of $49S.05 per ton, of which
S12 was silver, the remainder being
gold. On the surface the vein meas
ures from Is to so feet in width
and gives good values. In grading
a site for a hoist and surface build
ings for a new 200-foot main work
ing shaft, wOrkmen revealed 20 feet
of the vein, which, according to Man
ager Gray, gave average values or
s26.25 per ton. The Mazona Mining
company, operating a group OF nine
claims adjoining the Tom Reed and
Gold Cliff on the west, will, accord
ing to President COnlin, soon start
sinking a 5OO-foot vertical shaft,
from which laterals will be extended
at intervals of 100 feet for the eX-
p~loration of the numerous veins ex-
hSosed on the surface.
The Oatman Big Lode Mines com
1pany, recently organized by Arthur
J. Rigali and Allen E. Boyce, will In
the near future begin the develop
ment of a group of six claims and a
fraction adjoining the Hercules on
the south. The property was &C
acquired from D.. P. Mitchell and as
sociates. Preliminary to deep OPP
erations, the rev company will sink
an incline prospect shaft on a vein
which, on the surface, is Is feet wide
and assays from 50 to SIP per ton.
The shaft on the Black Range is
nearing the 800 FOOT point, at which
a station will be cut and a cross-cut
extended north to catch the extern
sion of the Nellie vein. 1t is calcu-
lated that about 100 feet of ross
cutting will be required to reach the
objective FONT.
