Immisration 8iIi Vetoed.

Washington, d. c., January 2S.-
President Wilson Thursday vetoed
the immigration bill and sent with
ton. Closure of the "open door" and
use of the literacy test and other tests
were given as the reason for his veto,
by the president.
I'm two particulars of vital conse-
quence, the bill embodies radical de-
partures from traditional policies of
this country" the president said. at

to be the natural rights of men, and
excludes those to whom the opportun-
ity of elementary education has been
denied, without regard to character,
purpose or natural capacity. 1t is
difficult for me to believe that the fulf
effect of this bill was realized when
| it was adopted and it is impossible for
me to assent to it in this form
Applause on both sides of the
house greeted the reading of the pres

of the house Immediately said that he
would move Thursday or Friday of
next week to reconsider the vote on

leader of the opposition pressed for

McCracken Mines Bonded

The great mines of McCracken Hill are said to be under bond to big east ern mining interests and work is to be commenced on the properties within the next sixty days. Rumor has 1t that railroad is to be built into the properties from Haviland or Yucca.
 The McCracken is one of the great est properties in the county, having immense bodies of lead-silver ore open- ed to depth of 400 feet below the old tunnel level. The mine is of the same general character of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, at Wardner. Idaho. The vein is massive and the whole surround ing country appears to have been shot full of ore from the big deposit. It is to be hoped that the people will operate the mine on the scale that its impor- tance predecates and that a plant to reduce the ores will be put in at the property. In the good old days the McCracken produced about 4,000, 000$ in silver bullion above the tunnel level. The ore returned values from eos to 300$ to the ton.

Gold Ora Sinking Shaft.

The Gold Ore Mining company began sinking its shaft from the $50 level to the $50 level last Saturday. The con- pany has equipped the property with machine drills, taking the air in from the big compressor of the Gold Road con- pany, some distance away. The mine is now nicely fitted up with the neces- sary sinking machinery, there being good hoist, pumps and machine drills.
 This property lies to the north of the Gold Road and in the same geological formation. It has opened some splendid ore on the $50 level, but expects to get below the 500 before more drifting is is done. In the upper workings con- siderable ore was extracted and sent to the Gold Road mill, were it returned a fair net over costs of milling. The property is under the management of A. c. Werden, who has been handling it conservatively the past two years. The mine has all the appearance of opening into large producer of gold.

It was understood that the annual re- port of the company was read to share holders present and that it will soon be in the hands of the printer. Owing to the fact that settlements had not yet been received for the April cleanup that month of the fiscal year had to be approximated. Several of the share holders departed to Oatman by auto mobile, going out by way of Topock.

It has just been discovered that the sudden cooling of the atmosphere has the effect of transporting microbes and localizing them in certain regions. The cool surfaces attract them from a dis tance almost instantaneously, the. smaller being transported farther than the larger ones. These discoveries. throw light upon the origin of certain epidemics, and may be useful in help ing us to decide what climates are the most healthful.

Greatest and Rich- est Ore Body Ever
 Found in District
Massive Vein Encounters Bonanza in Virgin Ground

OIi 0ilC pCoC VI auIholiey WV have it that one of the great est strikes in the history of the Gold Road mines was made on the west end property the past week. While the original dis covery of ore dates back sever al weeks, it's extent was only ascertained when the shaft reached depth of 60 feet yes terday. This shaft is all in massive ore and in unprece- dented values.
 The strike of ore was made by the company about 400 feet from the west end of the con- pany's estate where cropping was found that appeared to be about fifteen inches wide. As says from this outcrop ran as high as S2,0O0$, while samples across the whole gave averages above 2,OOO$. A shaft was at once started and when below ten feet the ore body began to widen and within a short dis tance passed beyond the width of the shaft. An inspection of conditions at that place showed that the ore body is now over fourteen feet wide and carries average values in excess of 100$ to the ton. The work of sink ing is still in progress, and it is said that as soon as the drift on the 800 can be driven forward raise will be brought up to connect with the shaft. As the story goes, when the west drift from the 800 was driven into the ground close to the present strike it was found to be broken and of so narrow a streak that no further drifting was done. Now, it would ap- pear, few feet further would have entered this new ground and this wonderful ore body found.
 The MINER editor has great faith in the Gold Road as min ing proposition, and now that this splendid strike has been made his faith is being verified. And not only have we believed that it had great ore possibili- ties close to the surface, but al so at great depth. The open ing of this rich body of new ore will give the company such faith in the property that it will soon be sinking to deeper levels, where it is sure to bring to light some more wonderful bodies of gold-bearing ores.
 The ore bodies along the great Gold Road vein have been wonderful in extent, al- though low in grade. From the old 'glory hole", on the west to the Railroad on the east, there has not been any break of consequence in the ore body, a distance in excess of 5000 feet. In some places this ore body has a width of more than 40 feet, while none of it goes below six feet. Prac- tically all of this ore has mill ing values.
 On the 800 level the ore body appears in the shape of an A, spreading out to the east and west of the shaft for a long dis tance, although on the level above the ore body was short and pitched to the west. It is possible that only a short break exists between the old ore bodies and the new one and that at greater depth it will be found one continuous shoot.
 When it comes to ore bodies and values all the district will , now have to take its hat off to |, the Gold Road.

Mohave County miner., 1915-05-01

From Eldorado Canyon comes the re- port that two forty stamp mills are in contemplation, one on the Duncan prop erty at Nelson and the other on the Tchatticup. The Tchatticup is to have the mill built on the bench where the shaft has been raised from the tunnel level. It is said that the mine has enough ore now in sight to keep forty stamp mill in operation for two years, although this is improbable. Charles Gracey di,l the last work done on the property and at that time no stopes were opened, and only a few hundred feet of drifts was run. MT. Gracey put the property in such shape that it could readily be put in shape for out putting, but the owner died and the mine was shut down, and, we believe, has not been unwatered since that time The mine is one of the best in southern Nevada, or for that matter any other part of Nevada, but it needs the ex- penditure of large sum of money to put it in the right shape to supply a large milling plant.
