BALDWIN HERE ON INSPECTION
New Assistant Chief of Construction of U. $. k. :. Looks Over Roosevelt Dam Work - But Few Changes Due to Shift.

Very few changes will be worked in the reclamation service by the shifting about of offices. recently put into effect with the distribution of field work from the Washington to Denver headquarters. This is the substance of a statement by Assist ant Engineer of Construction F. Hunt Baldwin. who is visiting here for a few days.
 Mir. Baldwin, accompanied by Pro- ject Manager C. II. Fitch. and En- gineer W. s. Cone of the power di- vision. made a flying trip to Roose- welt Sunday to inspect the work there, both as to the repairs on the suicing tunnel, and the installation of The sixth power unit. Regarding the worn place on the spillway, where water flowing over the stone and ce- ment lip of the dam, ate back into the looser rocks, MT. Baldwin said that TO real damage had been done. that a few yards of concrete would not repair.

American securities are more highly esteemed in Europe than those of any other country.

Mrs. Bradford Predicts Women Will Systomatizc Home Life in Order to Spend More Time in Pur- suit cf Public Duties.

The time will come when mothers will pass only three or four hours a day with their children said Mrs W. S Bradford. wife of local socialist leader yesterday as she glanced through an interview with IneZ Weed in a recent issue of The Re publican agreeing with the noted spec iaI investigator of women and labor in practically every point.
 "The children will be cared for just as well. if not better. more scientifi- caIly Why should a woman turn her self into a trained nurse when nurse can care for a dozen children at a time and she can employ her time to her business or professiono We used to think We had tO teach our Title folk 60 spin. to weave and often to read and write now we send them 10 school for even the rudiments Of housework, do- mestic science and manual training are suppJementing the parents training just as the nurse will carry on the moth CTS work. and she will love her babies just the same. The business woman. at the most, is away from home eight hours a day. the successful professional woman has still shorter hours while the club and society woman ordinarily give an equal amount of time to study and pleasure. Oh not all Women's clubs are pink tea organizations, and since suffrage has been granted. the clubs have developed. The study I would advocate" she said without q moments hesitation. ''is the working conditions Of women and children. It would no more good thanf cultured study. though I do not minimize that at all."
 Mrs Bradford does not belong to any club. but she is an active member of the Civic League, that is affiliated with the state federation of womens clubs. the Monroe Parent Teacher As eociation and the Woman's Trade Union League.
 She is interested in labor, especially for women.
 Work" is her creed.
 She has little use for the girl who takes a position with the idea that in time she'H be the employers wife. She is the type that flinders organization and in unionization Mrs. Bradford sees the only solution to raising the stand ard in all lines of labor.
 If one girl in shop complains that there Is insufficient ventilation. that conditions are not sanitary she may be told to find more congenial surround inCs. but If every girl in the shop makes the same demand the manager will lis ten.

Prop erty needed by the line had taken on a fictitious value so that the pur poses of the company were blocked by those whom it was expected to benefit.
 Charles H. Akers of the Arizona Gazette who has taken a keen inter est in this subject urged immediate action and asked that all business interests get together and work for the through line.
 Secretary Welch of the Chamber of Commerce suggested the arrangement of a great main line dinner to be held at an early date when definite plans to carry on the work now be- gun, might be presented. A motion of that tenor made by MT. Welch was carried and the arrangements for the dinner were put into the hands of a committee consisting of Mir Welch. Charles A. Stauffer and Charles II. Akers.
 The discussion was concluded by an address by Sims Ely, who en- dorseG the suggestion made by Presi- dent Fennemore for the securing of terminal facilities for a main line.

BLOCKING OUT ORE
IN NEVADA CAMPS
MINING OPERATORS IN BELL
DISTRICT DOING MUCH AND
TALKING LITTLE

That the Bell mining district and
it's immediate vicinity is destined TO
become n of the most important
mining districts in Nevada and Il
will produce a tremendous tonnage
of milling gold ore with the values
ranging between $40 ana 500 to the
ton, are opinions expressed by j. II
Cooke and A. X. Herman, who have
returned from a trip to hat section
of the country. Strong financial in
terests have entered the various dis
tricts of Mineral, Emeralda and
substantial development work is be-
ing done.
Discussing the immediate future
of the districts of those counties Mr.
Cooke said ~yesteI>sy that, as far as
he could learn, no attempt was being
made by the various operators TO
start anything like and old fashioned
boom. Although the various opera
tors take a decidedly optimistic
view Of the immediate future of the
mining industry. they were saying
little, but doing much in the way
of real development work.
A great deal of money is being
expended and in numerous proper
ties gold ore of very good milling
grade is being blocked out. Plans
are under way for the erection of
mills On properties that have the
the ore blocked out.
In the immediate vicinity of the
Bell district. Mr.. Cooke said the
striking thing that impresses the
visitor is the regularity of the val
ties being encountered as the varl-
Gus properties reach greater depth.
News of the development work that
is being carried on has been spread
by operators on the ground who have
been writing to their friends in eth
err camps.
This has resulted in the Bell dis
trict slowly. but certainly, gaining
the attention of a very substantial
set of mining men from Goldfielc,
Tonopah. Oatman and the larger
camps throughout the west. No
claims are being made of sensation
al values. Large bodies of milling
gold ore have been opened up, and
tests have demonstrated that the ore
is a very desirable milling ore that
can be treated by fine grinding,
amalgamation and cyanidation Salt

STRAY Steers CAUSE
DISCOVERY OF CINNABAR

Two stray steers caused the dis
covery of a deposit of cinnabar in tle
Pilot mountains, western Nevada.
On the day of the discovery Thomas
Pepper and Charles Keough had been
tracking the I'VE steers, when, after
nightfall, the trail led over an old
prospect in which a face of lime
stone traversed by small veinlets OF
red mineral were exposed. The red
mineral was recognized by Keough as
cinnabar. After finding the steers
and taking them to Nina the two dis
coverers returned to Cinnabar noun
tain as the hill on which they had
made the find has since been named.
where they spent ten days in careful
search and located II claims. They
later went back 10 Nina and made
known their find, causing intense ex-
element, and that afternoon almost
every citizen of tn, iowa left :cr tie
site of the discovery by automobile
and by other less expeditions con
veyances. A large number of claims
were staked by toe first cOmcrs and
many more we're afterward staked
by claimants frorl T'onopah.
The discovery VAS widely herald
ed as the r~ediscoys-y OF the lost
Hawthorne quicksilver nine" named
for Judge Hawthorne. in whose hon
or, it is said, Hawthorne, the couT-
ty seal of Mineral county, was nam
ed. According to local report in the
seventies Judge Hawthorne discov-
cred a rich quicksilver deposit,
which is believed to have been stu
ated at the site Of the recent discov-
cries. In returning from the moun
tains, so it is said, Hawthorne lost
his bearings, ard although 20 ,he
end of his life lie attempted animal
ly to find the Quicksilver mine" he
remained unsuccessful. This tradi-
ton seems highly improbable. The
original discoverer - who he was is
unknown had done some very
substantial exploratory work on the
prospect. In his efforts to prove his
find he had blasted OUT a consider
able mass of solid limestone, and as
further tokens of his activity sticks
of powder, fuse and picks lay
abandoned at the prospect. That this
energetic %prOspector lost his way
and was unable to find the prospect
at which he had lahored is not easily
credible. 1t is more likely that he
abandoned the prospect as, in his
judgment, not sufficiently valuable.
The newcomers have found cOnsid-
erably richer deposits than the UNI
known pioneer did, and have shown
that the cinnabar extends along a
considerable belt.
The quicksilver deposits on the
claims of Pepper and Keough as well
as those in the rest of the district
are described in Bulletin 620.D,

ern Nevada" by Adolph Knopf, re-
