BLOCKING ORE
IN BELL CAMP
MINING OPERATORS OF THAT
DISTRICT DOING MUCH
AND SAYING LITTLE

That the Bell mining district and
it's immediate vicinity is destined to
become one of the most important
mining districts in Nevada and that
it will produce a tremendous tonnage
of milling gold ore with the values
ranging between $40 and $40 to the
ton, are opinions expressed by j. H..
Cooke and A. X. Herman, who have
returned from a trip to that section
of the country. Strong financial in
terests have entered the various dis
tricts of Mineral, Esmeralda and Nye
counties, and a great deal of sub
stantial development work is being
done.
Discussing the immediate future
of the districts of those countries,
Mr.. Cooke said yesterday that, as far
as he could learn, no attempt was
being made by the various opera
tors to start anything like an old
fashioned boom. Although the the
various operators take a decidedly
optimistic view of the immediate fu-
ture 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
ore blocked out.
In the immediate vicinity of the
Bell district Mr.. Cooke said the strik-
ing thing that impresses the visitor
is the regularity of the values be-
ing encountered as the various prop
critics reach greater depth. News
of the development work that is be-
ing carried on has been spread by
operators on the ground who have
been writing to their friends in
other camps.
This has resulted in the Bell dis
trict slowly but certainly gaining
the attention of a very substantial
set of mining men from Goldfield,
Tonopah, Oatman and the larger
camps throughout the west. No
claims are being made of sensation
al values. Large bodies of mill
ing gold ore have been opened up,
and tests have demonstrated that
the ore is a very desirable milling
Aore that can be treated by free
grinding, amalgamation and cyan
Iidation.-Salt Lake Tribune.

CONVICT LABOR IS
WIDELY ADVOCATED
STRONG ARGUMENT is MADE IN
FAVOR OF THEIR EN-
PLOYMENT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. THE
use of ~convicts on the public roads
has passed through the period of hys-
terical wrangle into a period of &C
tually successful accomplishment
and almost universal a~cceptation,"
stated e. Stagg Within, whose new
course in practical penal problems at
Columbia university was recently
announced.
DR.. Whiting holds that the under
lying motive in convict road build
ing must be to ecure the great eff
cheney for the state out of its posses
sions. Both the oonvicts and the
roads are property of the state. and
the working of cOnvicts upon the
roads should eliminate many ele-
ments of waste in the administration
of road and prison departments.
"The efficiency of the convict {.
the road gang" ne continued. dir
fers greatly in different gangs. There
is no doubt in my mind that the ap-
p~lication of the efficiency records in
use at the present time in the Wis
consin road camps for free labor will
tend even more perceptibly to raise
the efficiency of convict labor.
Incentive must be created before
good work can be produced. Coop
any of us up in a stuffy, unsanitary
Jail for several months, arraign us
for trial amid the excitement of what
we misname justice, and then take
a few months of breaking our spirit
in prison surroundings and there is
little likelihood that the thing we
call ginger will be very apparent.
There is definite need of building up
if the convict is to return to society
and make good.
"The great need" DR.. Within con-
cluded, lis for the foreman of a
convict gang to throw his shoulder
to the task and inspire his gang
with the desire to be like him. The
problem lies in securing such men as
foremen of the road gans."

ISSUES REPORT ON
NEVADA DISTRICTS

The result of reconnaissance work
in Nevada by F. l.. Ransome have
been published by the United States
geological survey as Bulletin ala.
Notes on some mining districts in
Humboldt county, Nevada" The
bulletin embodies the results of a
reconnaissance examination of 1000
square miles, including the Seven
Troughs, Rosebud, Star, Unionville,
Humboldt, Fitting, Chafey, Kennedy,
Adelaide, Red Butte. and Coppereid
districts. Some of the districts ex-
amined. such as Seven Troughs.
Rosebud and Red Butte, have been
p~rospected only within the last de-
cade; others, like Star City and I'm
ionville, reached their acme of pro-
d~uctiveness in the COS and have not
yet participated in the recent gener-
al revival of mining activity in Ne
vada; one or two, like Chafey, have
received new names and have been
exploited in various ways that mod
ern experience and ingenuity have
devised for this purpose; still 9TH
-, like Adelaide, have been inter
mittently active for over 35 year,,
oscillating between prosperity and
decay. Mr.. Ransome discussed tie
lnining operations of the region. His
conclusion is that the southern
portion of Humboldt county is part
of 2 meoallogenetic province char
acterized chiefly by the prevalence
of antimonial ores of silver with
n merous and widely scattered de-
posits of stibnite and cinnabar.
There are in addition some deposits
of gold-silver, copper and nickel
cobalt ores. Ore deposition prob
ably began Immediately after the
intrusion of the Triassic and Juras-
sic sediments in late Mesozoic time
by a granite igneous rock of the
same kind as that which invaded
the sedimentary rocks of the Sierra
Nevada at the same period n con-
tinued nto the Tertiary. the
known Tertiary deposits are essen
TALLY %gold-silver ores and copper
ores, but it is possible that some or
the other types are also Tertidr3'.

MINING CASE DROPPED
FROM COURT CALENDAR

The case of the West End Con-
sOlidated Mining company against
the Jim Butler Mining company vas
the calendar of the fifth judicial dis
trict court, says the Tonopah Bo-
nanza. This is because the case
is now pending on appeal to the SUI
preme court and there are no mat
ters connected with the cause to be
heard in the near future in the low
er court. The case may be restor-
ed to the calendar on ten days mo-
ton.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS
TO AID SUFFERERS

The following eloquent appeal for
aid for war sufferers was written by
John Galsworthy, the noted writer
and playwright, on behalf of the Ma
tional Allied Relief committee, which
is headed by Charles w. Eliot and
numbers among its membership ONE
of the most prominent men in the
country:
AS the sands of the sea for number,
are the sufferers in this war. If
there be any sort of brotherhood be-
tween men and fellow men, we are
all sufferers in the greatest tragedy
that ever befell the human race. But
most of us here in America are
spared the actual and atrocious
forms of physical suffering, the grast-
ly wounded, the blistering ~fevers, the
starvation, and the homelessness
that line the road of this struggle,
irving the heart, twisting the very
heck of Europe. We are spared
sight of the battlefields, sound of
their ceaseless hours of moaning;
spared visions Of the seas alive with
the drowning.
When the Lusitania was keeling
over. one on board who survived saw
a great wav sweeping back on her,
black with w~ailing men, women and
children. We are spared sight of
manned and blinded soldiers and of
their pittiful heroic cherriness; and
nora1 Tho 1nn~ o00ni1AI vr,;t;nn for
news of those we love.
For us in this land still peaceful,
( is hard to realize that nearly thr ee
million French and Belgians are be-
ing just kept alive by doles of char
table food which may yet fail them;
been plucked from thriving prosper
ity and flung into the dingy heap OF
ruin; that the Serbian people and
the Polish people are pressed to the
very wall by fever and want.
All these things are hard to see, to
realize, so far off are they. And
yet, if there be a soul in man, a
heart in our people, We must try
and realize and do what little we
can to stay this tide of suffering.
For most of us money is the only
thing that we can give. Money is
cold, but it buys warmth, hope,
shelter, ease from the sweats of
agony; it mends limbs, keeps moth
ers with their children, builds homes
again. Money. 1t fights fever, and
feed the starving. Let us give
money. If we do not give, how
shall We show that our hearts feel,
that the spirit of America suffers
with the suffering of these millions
of innocent, manned, fevered, starv-
ing bodies, these millions of inno-
cent and tortured souls.
How else, save by giving and
again giving, shall we-can we
show u pity and our comradship?
