DEXTER WHITE CAPS
TO PRESERVE ENTITY

The proposition made by the Tono-
nah Mining company of Nevada to
take over the property Of the DeXte
White CAPS Mining company on
terms similar to those by which the
Nzpah Extension was acquired, vas
defeated last evening at a special
meeting of the shareholders CT the
later company, which was held IN
the office of Hugh H. Brown says
the Bonanza. The attendance was
large. there being 734,901 shares
represented out of a total of SOO,-
900 issued
The meeting was called for two
specific progress, one being the as
ceptance or rejection of the Tonopah
Mining company's proposition and the
other the election of a new board OF
directors. Considerable time was
spent in consideration of the Tono>
pah company's plan, but when it
came to a vote it was defeated by
1880 votes, there being o33,147
cast in it's favor and 202.754 against.
Under the provisions of TIE COM
pany's charter it would have requir-
ed 100000 votes or three-fourts of
the 500, 900 shares issued to have
carried.
]. G.. Kirchen then presented a
new plan for financially rehabilitat-
ing the company and treating its
ores. The proposition was consider
ed unofficially, but no action could
be taken as this was not one of the
specific matters of business for
which the meeting was called. 1t was,
however, decided that the board OF
directors would call another meet
ing to consider and act upon the kir-
chen plan, favor of which was ex-
pressed by a number of the share
holders present The following board
of directors was then elected: A
G.. Raycraft, Percival Nash, E. A.
James, H. H Brown and c. F Wit
tenberg. The directors organized by
selecting Mr.. Raycraft as president;
Mr.. Wittenberg vice president and
Mr.. Nash secretary and treasurer.

Interesting War Gossip From London

LONDON, England, Jan. Cove
are here very near Adam and Ewes
abode, the Garden OF Eden, writes
a lance corporal with the British
forces fighting the Turks in the
country back of the Persian gulf.
1t is very hot and the country is
no place for a white man. We live
on bread. tea and dates. The great
est hardship is the scarcity of wat
err. | have not had a shave or a
wash for seventeen days.
We captured two forts and a tele-
graph office yesterday without the
loss of a man. The Turks lost 40.
Some of the methods of the Turks in
action are curious. A favorite trick
of their is to fall down in action as
if dead and then after the line Of
British has passed them they get up
and fire at them from behind.
While %retreating the Turks fire.
~quently discard numerous articles Of
clothing lest they should impede
their flight. Before their retreat
has lasted long they have on moth
ing but their shirts and ammunition
belts. No matter how hot the fight
ing is one cannot refrain from
laughing at the spectacle of several
hundred men running at top speed
with their long shirts Tapping
around their bare legs.
The admiralty and wal office are
now issuing blue enamel badges
with the words ION war service to
men employed by firms engaged on
government war contract. The
badges show thai their wearerrs can
not be spared for enlistment in the
army. as they are needed at home
to provide material and equipment.
Elaborate precautions are being
taken to prevent any of the badges
falling into unauthorized hands, as
in ease OF the adoption of conscrip-
ton their possession would be pre-
sumptive evidence that a mar was
excused from military service. Each
man thai receives one is told that
the badge is government property
and that he must give a receipt for
it.

early days of the camp, and its con-
tinuation to the 1017-foot level to
provide additional hosting facilities
and the aggressive development of
the northeastern section of the Vel-H
vet claim.
Atlanta Mines
The Atlanta continues a great
center of public interest. Although
nc extraordinary developments have
occurred of late, there is a steady
improvement in the general condi-
tions and the future of the property
is exceedingly bright. The second
raise, known as 101O-A, being put
up above the west drift, originally
started north, from the branch west
crosscut on the 175O-foot level be-
fore it revealed the contact for the
second time, has attained a height
of seventy feet. At a point forty
feet above the drift the raise passed
from the shale into the latte, and
since then it has been exposing
punches of quartz that are gradu-
ally improving in size and value.
The branch west crosscut, which was
recently resumed to determine the
entire width of the vein, has pene-
trated it a distance thus far OF
sixty feet and is still cutting string
ers of quartz. One four inches wide
recently gave a return of $37 per
ton, while another three feet in
width assayed $13.25 per ton.
ReOrganized Kewanas
The Kewanas is rapidly getting in
shape for exploratory work along the
latite-shale contact recently reveal
ed, together with three feet of
quartz of low value, at a depth of
40 feet in the winze below the 700
foot level. The winze has been con-
tinued down to the 165-fOOt point
to provide a 25-foot stump. A sta
ton will now be cut, upon the COM
pletion of which drifts will be start
ed along the contact.
Florence GOldfield
The exploration of the discovery
of apparently bonanza proportions
by a branch incline raise from YER
teal raise ga" above the south
drift on the new vein exposed about
two months ago on the 250-foot level
of the Florence is going steadily
ahead. On account of bad air, work
in the incline raise al recently
stopped on a nine-foot face of $50
ore, and a new raise "B" was start
ed forty feet farther south in the
drift. The new raise is now up
eighteen feet and is Just penetrating
the ore body. On the 350-fOot level
a new east crOsscut has been started
from the main north drift to inter-
cept the downward extension of the
ore body.
Other Properties
In accordance with an :
ment made about two weeks ago,
the Silver Pick Consolidated is MAX
ing preparations to resume sinking
in the main working shaft below the
500-foot level with the latte shale
contact as the objective point. 1t
is calculated that the contact will
be disclosed within 200 feet addi-
tional depth. Conditions in the
Orc continue to steadily improve
and results of far-reaching import
ance can reasonably be expected in
the near future. There have been
no late d~evelopmnts of Importance
in other properties of the camp.

In a few days the car and equip

Notwithstanding the war the
group of enthusiasts who for years
have advocated the construction of
a tunnel under the English channel
between France and England have
lost none of their ardor for the en-
terprise. On the contrary they are
pushing the scheme with more than
usual vigor, pointing out that were
the tunnel in operation at present
it would be of inestimable advan-
tage to England in rushing troops
to France.
England's committee on imperial
defense had the tunnel project be-
fore it when the war broke out. War
came before this committee had
time to report it's findings to par
lament and it is not likely hat any
action will be taken until peace is
declared. Backers of the project in
sist that they are ready to begin
work Immediately.
