that he will station one of his dep
uties, Charles Huber, at Tonopah,

manent arrangements for his other

NEVADA EMPIRE LEASERS

Oberg and Taylor are still pegging
away on their lease on the Empire
Nevada group across the river. They
are now sinking a shaft near the
old shaft on the property and are get
ting out some fine ore. The ore is
being sorted into three grades, and
the first grade will run about so
per cent in the red metal; the sec
ond grade will go about II or Is
per cent, and the third grade will
average about six per cent. This
latter grade would be a good think
to ship if the smelter was in COM
mission. AS it is being stored away
until such time as the smelter re-
sumes operations. The higher grade
material will probably be shipped to
Salt Lake City.
Pennington and Ryan are also dig
ging away on their lease on the EN-
pire ground. They have quite a
nice showing and are getting out
some ore and storing it away with a
view of shipping to the smelter as
soon as it may start up.-Yerington

MINING NEWS FROM
OLD CAMP OF PIOCHE

The amount of ore hoisted was
less than in the two preceding weeks
but the quantity of shipping ore was
greater. This is accounted for by
the fact that now that drifting on
the thirteenth level has for the pres
ent been finished and stopping being
done, the ore is being sorted in the
stope and a large percentage of the
mill ore produced is left as fill in
the slopes.
An excellent grade of zine is be-
ing mined on all three levels and il
is found that some of the pyrite init

to confirm said sale on the ninth

BUILD MILL FOR LOW
GRADE ROCK

Success has attended the develop

No. L shaft of the Raymond and Ely
has been sunk from the 1,20O-foot
level to the 1,40O-foot level and 500
feet of crosscuts and drifts run at
the latter level. The water level
of the country is at 1000 feet. The
water has been lowered to the 1900
foot and the normal flrw of water is
being handled without any difficulty.
In running the drift On the lower
level the same ore bod:' as existed on
the 1,2O0-foot level was found. The
fissure in which the body occurs is
very strong and probably goes to
great depth. 1t is from this Tissue
on the upper levels that such large
values were taken many years aga
The company has mined and ship
ped several hundred Ions of high
grade ore from the cas- stope of the
1,2OO-foot during the last four
months. The west stope has just
been opened up and shows Il good
vein of high grade ore. This ore
continues down from the 1,2O0 to
the 14OO-foot level and is still in
the bottom of the drift. 1t has
been crosscut at the 1300-foot and
drifted on for 200 feet on the l.
4OO-foot, the breast still being in
ore. Stopping is now going on be-
tween the 1900 and 400 foot lev
els.
The high grade zinc ore nets about
$40 a ton at the mouth of the shaft
and averages about 40 per cent zinc.
$3.50 gold, 80 unces silver and IN

Shoots of high grade lead silver
ore are also found. A carload which

ENORMOUS PRODUCTION
OF BITUMINOUS COAL

The war in Europe has apparently
had little direct influence on the
production of coal. The production
of bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
for 1914, for instance, is estimated
by f. w. Parker of the United States
geological survey at 10000, 900
tons. compared with 1~73,7S1,217
tons in 1913. AS the general de-
preston in business, it is stated by
the coal operators who have dis
cussed the conditions which resulted
in this decrease, had set in several
months before the war broke out,
and as there does not appear to have
been any further falling off after
ward, the question as to what
might have BEEN had peace contin-
ued is purely a matter of conjecture.
In some districts the demand from
railroad and manufacturing concerns
is stated to have been substantially
one-third less during the last nine
months of the year than in the cor
responding period IN 1918. Tho
coking districts appear to have suf-
fered most, for on account of the
demoralized condition of the iron
trade the production of coke was
fully 80 per cent less in 1914 than
in the preceding year. There was
some interruption to mining opera
tions on April 1, when the wage
scale negotiations were in progress.
and yer drought in the Pittsburg
district compelled a suspension of
operations at ONE of the mines, but
neither of these facts had any no
ticeable effect on the industry as a
whole. 1t is needless to say that
there was no complaint of made
quate supplies of labor or transpor-
tation facilities.

THE GENTLEMAN MUCKtR

BY Berton BraleyD
The gentleman mucker comes out
from the east
In his niftiest college clothes,
With the legs of his trousers nicely

And the classiest sort of hose,
But he changes his tweeds for over
alls
His coat for a flannel shirt
And down on a level he works like
the devil,
Shoveling copper dirt.
For he is a gentleman mucker
Who's learning the miners trade,
Who acts as an ore car trucker
And pushes it up the grade,
He has to sweat, you bet, to get
The wages that he's paid;
But he's learning a lot in his
employ
The gentleman mucker is quite some

The days work ends and the miners
troop
Toward home or a ear hotel,
And the gentleman mucker eats his
soup
And his porterhouse steak as we'll;
Then he tumbles out of his flannel
shirt
And his muddied o~veralls,
And away he goes in his evening
clothes,
Making a round of calls,
For he is a gentleman mucker
In the SWEETEST of happy buds"
In his nobbiest bib and tucker
His shirt with it's cleaning studs
At night, all right, he is a handsome
sight,
The gayest of gay young bloods!
The hostess pet and the ladies' joy,
The gentleman mucker is quite some
boy!
The gentleman mucker learns the
ropes
And he talks in the miners slang,
Of chutes and raises and sufmps and
slopes
OF mining he gets the hang,
And the first you know he's a man of
fame
And BOSS CT a mine or two,
And he digs no more in the copper
With the mucking job he's through.
But he's proud he was once a
mucker
Who worked in the mine below,
This fellow who wouldn't tucker
But was eve or the go,
A man whose plan was sure l can
If you'll give me half a show"
A right good man in a good employ,
The gentleman mucker's quite some
