TELLS HOW BAN WAS LIFTED.
B. G. Work Describes Work to Free
British Rubber.


The inside story of how Great Britain
was induced to lift the embargo on rub
Der was told Yesterday by B. G. Work
10: Akron. Ohio, president of the B. r
Goodrich Company. who is on his way
home from London. That government s
purpose in placing the embargo was to
prevent any possibility of Germany Sc
curing the rubber, large quantities Oh
which were being used for balloon taorlC'
footwear. ground blankets, etc. The ell
feet was most disastrous in this country
where more than 12jOOO people are en-
gagged i'm the business.
Mr. Work was sent to England by the
Rubber Club of America as its represeh-
tatiye His conferences were with Slr
William Tyrrell. of the British foreign
office, and Sir Francis HOpwOOd. OF the
admiralty to whom he was introduced
by Ambassador Page. The result of these
interviews is the complete restoration of
the commerce in rubber. but the British
government require that all American
shipments be bonded against Teshipment
to Germany. which. Mr. Work says, the
admiralty firmly intends TO prevent.
American manufacturers will be inter
ested in knowing" says Mr.. Work. that
ample stocks of crude rubber are now
available, that prices are stable instead
o: advancing and that manufacturers can
90 right ahead. having the assurance of
the British government that they will be
protected against the chaotic conditions
which followed the outbreak of the war
1t is Mr.. Works opinion that there
need be no further fears beyond the first
unavoida bic delays.

RICHES FROM NEVADA MINE
From single ore Shoot the National

In Four Years.

Four million dollars In four years is
the record which a single ore shoot at
National. New, has made. The dis
trict. prior to 1908, was little known.
II lies on the western slope OF Santa

logical survey, may be divided into
two principal classes, younger gold
misunderstanding veins that occur in
or near the tertiary volcanic rocks.
and much older MISUNDERSTANDING
veins that occur in sedimentary and
associated granite rocks. In this area
the older deposits are but poorly rep
resented and have yielded only
small output, but one of the younger
or tertiary veins has been wonderfully
rich, yielding much ore averaging $50
pound. During the early period OF
activity few thousand tons OF low.

tional mine, but the ore shipped aver
aged about 100000 ton in gold hav-
ing a value of $1,000 an ounce, the
remainder being silver. Cinnabar was
found in one of the veins.
Native gold is found principally In
the rich shoot Of the National vein.
the isolated position OF which, in dis
trict OF quartz-stibnite veins poor in
gold and silver, is remarkable. The
several veins appear to belong to the
same epoch of naturalization. the gold
shoot being local development upon
one of the normal stibnite veins. The
gold shoot was encountered 40 feet
below the surface and has been fol-
lowed on the dip of the vein for 500
feet. the stope length reaching ESQ
feet. The ore. which ran $40 to $50
to the pound. occurred mostly in an
irregular seam from few inches to
foot wide.

The son was delighted, and cheerfully
paid the difference in price, matter

But the tale had a sequel. On the
way home the old man met an an

old man. his nose for bargain In

That's not what paid for II, but

The money was paid over.
The next day the son had an inter

anger he said: "See here, when
