of the alaskite across width OF 10
feet showed that it contained about
S2.60 in gold per ton.
Above the 524 drift and at a
depth of about $50 feet, the 541
and SAG slopes. continue to show
wide faces of high-grade ore, the
assay sheets indicating averages of
from $50 to over 5000 per ton
across widths of from four to six
feet This ore is mixed with the
lower grade product from other
parts of the mine for shipment. A
larger tonnage is being shipped at
present and the product is slightly
lower in grade, as it is found more
economical to ship a cOnsidera ole
quantity of lower grade material
that appears in the smaller Slopes
and that would be lost through cav
ing if left in the mine.
These slopes, in some cases, are
needed for back-filling with waste
from development work and II
would not be practicable to work the
ground second time for ore assay
ing from $12 to $40 per ton, which
can be mined and shipped at one OPP
Grafton with the product of better
grade. Neither would it be profita-
BILE to timber these slopes to save
this ore, as the timbering would en-
tail an expense not justified by the
value of the ore.
The Velvet shaft has passed the
7OO-foot point and should be com
,leted to the 1017-foot level in Jan
larv. when further important econ
omies in development and ore ex-
traction can be put into practice and
he production can be approximate
" doubled without difficulty. When
this shaft reaches the 1917 level
everything will be in readiness to at
rnce make connection with the pro-
1ucing parts of the mine on the 1880,
$50 and 1017-foot levels, which will
have reached the shaft by that time.

that a number of properties that
have been unable to proceed with de-
development work for lack of funds
will be enabled to explore their
ground and to pay for such work
with the refractory ore that can be
extracted.
GOldfield Consolidated
The big mill of the Consolidated
continues treating over 1000 tons
daily, with high recovery, and oper-
sting costs are being constantly re-
duced. Extraction is confined en-
tirely to ore containing not more
than one-half of one per cent cop
per and the large tonnage, particu-
larly on deep levels, that has high
er content of the red metal is left
standing in the mines for future
treatment 1t is said upon good
authority that these mines contain
hundreds of thousands of tons of re-
fractory ore that will ultimately be
treated at a profit Some of the
best ore now being mined by the
company is coming from the La
guna mine, where there is said to
be a large tonnage of base ore of
good grade that is being blocked
out for future extraction.

''The land grant, or agricultural
college, should be brought into u
closer relationship with the agri-
cultural population before it will
ever properly, effectively and eff
ciently perform the function for
which it was created" was the sub
stance of statement made by
President Hendrick, of the univer-
sity of Nevada at the Gold
field hotel last night. President
Hendrick was en- route to TOnopah
on his return from Las Vegas, where
he had been in attendance at the
teachers institute. He will partj-
cipate in the work of the institute
of the northern counties in THIS
supervisory district. which convenes
at Tonopah today.
There has been much discussion in
political and educational circles dur
ing the last few years on the sub
ject of the relationship which should
exist between the agricultural and
mechanic arts colleges. according to
President Hendrick, and the bureaus
of Washington which have to do
with the control and development or
the lands of our public lands states.
These colleges, known in our
statutes as colleges of agriculture
and mechanic arts, were established
back in the sixties by grants of land
by the federal government and later
by direct appropriations through
many new acts, known as the Nor
rill act, the Hatch and Adams act,
the Nelson act and the Smith-Lever
act.
The object, it was stated, was TO
bring the science of agriculture ana
mechanic arts into close relationship
to the agricultural and other indus
tries of the several states. There
have grown up therefore these land
grant colleges. and their growth Is
phenomenal. However, their bene-
fits have been, until recent years,
confined largely to students in
these institutions.
1--WE are not denying that this has
been a useful service and is well re-
paying the money which has been
expended" said DR.. Hendrick, but
it isn't understood by those who
have made a study of the service of
these agricultural colleges and of
their organization, why the govern
ment has pra 'tically passed them by
whom through the administration OF
the federal bureaus the government
has undertaken any advisory
service or any investigation of agri-
cultural or mechanic arts in the
several states"
For instarce. It was ~uggested. Il

KEWANAS WINE
EXPOSES SHALE
WILL CONTINUE ALONG DIP 10
EASTWARD FOR CONTACT
ORE-CHANNEL

The shale has been reached at
depth of little more than 80 feet in
the winze that has been sunk from
the east cross-cut at a depth of $40
feet in the Kewanas, but whether
this is the actual shale floor that
has been sought, or merely a pro-
jecting intrusion of the sedimentary
material, will require further work
to determine.
From the dip of the sale to the
eastward, as shown in workings
farther to the west, it was hardly 70
be expected that it would be reached
for at least another 20 feet, and It
is apparent that this point does not
reach that part of the contact chan
mel in which any important concen-
tration of metals from the big vein
above could be expected.
With the object of reaching this
point. the winze will be continued
along the dip of the shale, to tue
east, and with the appearance or
more favorable conditions for find
ing pay ore Manager Darcy will eX-
tend drifts north and south, follow
ing the trend of the vein. The con-
ditions here, as development pro-
crosses, continue to resemble those
existing in the Jumbo Extension
mine just before the rich contact ore
was discovered in the Velvet claim,
and when the work was in and near
the vein, short distance above the
contact zone.

Vatican Also Denies Report in French Newspaper-Von Buelow Never
 Met Pontiff

Rome. April a6.-(s:15 D. m via Paris 9;20 p. m.)-Both the Vatican and Prince Von Buelow, German ambassa- dor to Italy. deny a report printed in the Paris Figaro April 20. that Prince Won Buelow had visited Pope Benedict to bid the pontiff farewell, believing his departure from Rome was imminent.
 Prince Von Buelow was in Germany when Pope Benedict was elected and never has seen the pontiff When he returned to Rome 1t was as Germany's ambassador accerdited to the King of Italy. The etiquette of the Vatican since the fall of the temporal power has been that diplomats accredited to the quirnal shall not visit the Vatican until the term of their appointment to the royal court he ended.

 It is estimated that within three miles on either side of the river there is suf- ficient coal to last for 100 years.
 The scenery along the river from Cor. dova to Tuscaloosa is as beautiful as that along the Hudson. Any lock on the river will pass through within 24 hours more coal than is mined in the state of Ala tAma during the same length of time, Before great while large amounts of pig iron, steel, etc. will be marketed through this river to the Panama canal and the Gulf of Mexico, to Texas and everywhere products of such nature are consumed.
 The canal between Mobile bay and Mis- sissippi river by way of Mississippi sound is already completed. The canal from Mobile bay to Pensacola has been au- thorizeo: construction will begin at an early date thus giving barge transporta- tion to New Orleans and Pensacola as well as to Mobile.

AN INTERESTING PAIR
 ARE THE PARKER TWINS
Refused to Have Their Pictures Taken Are Athletic and Garry AgeHerad Around Compton One Wants to Be An Artist-Other In
 His Money In Oil Lands
By ELLIS c. HoLLuMs

Here's a pair of fellows vou-1 like. They're twins, as you already have dis covered. and insisted that their picture be used on the same day didn't want to write two stories for the same issue so here's l. c. Parker and J. T. Parker together. I'll let you guess as to which is which; don't know.
 The Parker boys live at lao Compton street, Fairview, and carry The Age Herald in that section. They have sepa- rate routes but they are in the same locality. Both have been with The Age Herald a year and both are hustlers
 l, c. says he talks on the merits of The Age-Herald when after new sub scribers and ]. T. says he is polite and keeps fin behind them all the time.
 Both the boys are athletic and both play baseball. I. C. plays shortstop on nine and J. T. covers the keystone sack. l. C. is good end on football team, but J. T. prefers basketball Both the fellows go to the Ensley High school.
 l. c. says he is investing his money in oil lands and expects to reap a harvest. j.. T. buys clothes with the money he earns. I. C. intends to be an artist when he grows up and has a talent for draw ing. Becoming an artist is hard work, but it Is worth all the work fellow could do. J. T. hasn't decided what he wants to do when he atteins his ma jority
 J. T. said if he owned The Age-Herald he would try to make it a better paper, which we are trying, with his aid, to do. l. c. said if he owned the paper he would ''boost 1t up and sell out, lock, stock and barrel Which would be very unfortunate for The Age-Herald. How ever. the boy wants to complete his art studies and an an amount equal to the worth of The Age Herald would enable him to purchase all the artists the world possesses today.
 I. c. finds pleasure in caring for a batch of chickens in addition to being a twin of J. T. but the latter does not care much for chicken on the hoof-he wants 1t

Ingalls Iron Company (

Ingalls, Iron Company Gets Contract Tt was announced yesterday that the Ingalls, Iron works of this city had been awarded a contract for the steel to be used in the construction of the Union Cotton Oil company plant at Woodlawn. The contract was awar ded after bids had been received from many prominent concerns in this sec tion, including the American Bridge company. The local concern, 1t was stated. came up to the specifications at most attractive figure and the award was made.
 The plant Is to be erected by com pany, the prominent members of which include J. W. Donnelly, George A Blinn, Jr., J. c. Whitfield, Bertram Jacobs and other local men.
 The plant will be erected just as rapidly as possible. There was sane opposition to the plant on the part of Woodlawn residents but 1t is stated that that has about died away. The plant will be modern in every way and will add very materially to this districts expansion in the line of small CT industrial operations. Other con tracts, it is stated, are to be given without delay so that work may pro ceed with dispatch. Several prominent steel contractors were in Birmingham yesterday bidding on the work but the local company won out after a spirited contest The price for the steel is said to have been close to $2O,000, al though the definite figure was not an- nounced.
