That Germany soon will be making
peace proposals is the conclusion
drawn by the Danish newspapers
from the fact that the German CEN
sors recently have permitted Berlin
newspapers to speak frankly Of
peace. They cite particularly ar
article by Gustav Hook, a socialist, in
the Neue Zeit. which he concludes
this. "The time for peace is now
ripe" In it's comments on this
phase of the situation the Social
DcmoIiraten Of Copenhagen says:
Germany seems To be concentrating
all hcl. energies against Russia. This.
with the declaration Of Il blockade Of
The North Sea, is intended for the
purpose of giving Germany some
foundation for Offering peace"

WANTS PRETTY TEACHERS.
DR.. Curtis Tells Hays Students Schools
Must Have More Play.

Hays. Kan, June 11.-"Every boy
and girl in Kansas has an inaliena BILE
right to a god looking school teach
err" said DR.. Henry S. Curtis, the
noted eastern play expert in his daily
lecture to the students of the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal school here.
IF I were the school boards of
Kansas I would pay from $40 to SIS
more a month for a teacher with good
looks and who had excellent physical
efficiency. Such teachers make better
disciplinarians and more effective
teachers and of course are worth
more money In order to provide this
kind of teacher I would compel every
teacher to take a course in physical
training at one of the state schools in
Kansas. The Fort Hays Normal must
train the teachers of western Kansas
in play

doubled in fifteen years and in less
than three hundred years we will all
be an inmate of an insane asylum if
more play is not introduced into the
curriculum Of our public schools

KANSAS GIRL TO SING.
Inez WalIing of Horton Studying Free
Under Heink.

Horton, Kan, June 11.-"You have
a wonderful voice, and I believe 1 can
help you develop it if you come to
Chicago said Mime. Schumann-
H-ink in st. Joseph recently. after
hearing Miss Inez Walling of Horton
sing.
So Miss Walling is in Chicago study
ing under the great contralto singer.
Miss Wallings voice is of a peculiar
quality, contralto, and very strong
and rich. Her greatest ambition since
childhood has been to become a great
singer. Held back by i'll health and
inability to attend a conservatory
where her voice might be developed
Miss Walling's attainment is the re-
suit of a struggle of years Her first
singing was in Leavenworth, her for
mer home, when she was small
child. AS she grew older her voice
attracted attention in her home town
and she was employed by cathedral
and synagogue choirS.
Miss Walling has always been an
admirer of Nine. Schumann-Heink
and went to st. Joseph in April to
hear her sing. Nine. Schumann-Heink
learned that the girl possesses a dis
tinctive voice. and heard her sing.
And now Miss Walling is studying
under the famous singer without cost
to herself.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 10
pounds of healthy ''stay there fat should
try eating little Sargol with their meals
for a while and note results. Here is a
good test worth trying. First weigh your
self and measure yourself Then take
Sargol-one tablet with every meal-for
two weeks. Then weigh and measure again
1t isn't a question of how you look feel
or what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin man
or woman can easily add from five to
eight pounds in the first fourteen days by
following this simple direction. And best
of all the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food. it turns the fats
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten. into rich. ripe fat producing. nour-
ishment for the tissues and blood-pre-
pares it in an easily assimilated form
which the blood readily accept. All
this nourlshment now passes from your
body as waste But Sargol stops the waste
and does it quickly and makes the fat
producing contents of the very same meals
you are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your skin
and bones. Sargol is safe. pleasant. eff
cient and inexpensive Arnold Drug Co
and other leading druggists in Topeka and
vicinity sell it in large boxes-forty tab

CR0SSCUT IS IN
FAULTEO ZONE
INTERESTING CONDITIONS RE-
VEALED ON 700 LEVEL OF
SILVER PICK

Under the direction of General
Superintendent Walter S. Norris. ex.
cellent progress is being made in the
exploratory work being prosecuted
on the 500 and 7O0foot levels of
the Silver Pick Consolidated Mines
company property. Mr.. Norris is
highly pleased with prevailing con-
ditions and expects results of a sub
stantial character will soon be OBJ
tanned in the operations.
On the new bottom or 100 foot
level. the east crosscut started sever
al weeks ago has reached point
20 feet from the shaft and is en-
tering 4 faulted zone which is lighly
silicified. 1t is the intention of the
L anageInent to extend this crosscut
total of 400 feet but it is expected
that at about the 3Gp-foot point it
will expose the dowpward extension
of the big quartz mass cut by the
shaft between the 800 and 400
feot points.
The west crCsscut on the 500-fOot
level, work in which was resumed
following the recent completion Of
the shaft to the 7O0-foot point, has
thus far been advanced a total dis
tance Of $50 feet from the shaft.
Water has begun to seep from the
face and this condition is taken to
indicate that the crosscut is ap-
preaching the downward extension of
the old Phelan lease vein, one Of the
objective points. In the event the
vein is not disclosed within the
next 100 feet, raise from the cross
cut to the vein will be started.

PIONEER tX. IS /.
TO RESUME WORK
COMPANY PREPARED TO SPEND
$3O,OOO In EXPLORING
PROPERTY

With E. S. Giles, a local mining
man, as general superintendent, the
Pioneer Extension Mines company
will in the next 10 days resume the
development, on an extensive scale,
of it's property, the jolly Jane claim,
adjoining on the south the Pioneer
Consolidated mine in the Pioneer dis
trict, south of GoIdfield. Arrange
ments to that end have just been
completed by Col. A. j. Trone Of Thi-
bodaux, La, president and general
manager of the company, who will
leave Goldfield soon after a weeks
visit of inspection to the various
properties in southern Nevada in
which he is interested.
Col. Trone and associates recently
took over from the H. A. Riedel
Investment company, of Denver, the
control of the Pioneer Extension
company. He states that his COM
pany is prepared to spend $4,000
in the comprehensive exploration of
the property and he is confident that
it will rapidly develop into a paying
mine. Although only few men
will be employed at the outset of the
resumption of operations, it is the
plan of Colonel TrOne to increase the
force as rapidly as conditions per-
NIT in order that the exploratory
work may be carried forward with
all possible despatch. In addition
to the jolly Jane patented claim,
the company holds an option upon
adjoining ground which will be ta-
ken over should results obtained in
the former justify.
In the boom days of the Pioneer
district, 2OO-foot vertical shaft
was sunk on the jolly Jane property.
1t is the plan of the management to
extend an east crosscut from the
bottom of the shaft to the vein, an
estimated distance of 100 feet. On
the surface, the vein crops boldly
for a width of more than 10 feet and
gives assays ranging from $40 to
over $100 ton. The shaft on the
property ia equipped with 20-hOrse-
power gasoline hoist.

IN
SHAFT REMOVED
SHAPE FOR LATERAL
DEVELOPMENT

The Goldfield Great Bend man
agement has surmounted the chief
obstacle encountered in cleaning out
the main working shaft and now
Superintendent Campbell has clear
sailing. The obstruction encounters
ed between the 2S0 and 500 foot
point in the shaft has been re-
Moved. Instead of locating plat
form at that point where a quantity
of muck had accumulated, as origi-
nally thought, slip was found due
to careless timbering. Loose rock
and dirt filled the shaft and opera
tions were handicapped until the ma
terial was removed. Two sets were
replaced.
This particular section caused
trouble to the early lessees, owing
to bad ground which kept con-
stantly swelling. The last bunch of
shaft men was not particular about
inserting the tagging which was
"scabbed" or placed outside the
shaft where the timbers were nailed.
This action might be excused or the
reason that the lessees were in a
rush to hold the slippery formation
back while they were sinking. Five
feet a day is the rate of progress
being made, according to J. x, Tur-
ner. consulting engineer, and should
there be no serious interference an
other month will find the lateral
development under way.
The water has been lowered to
31S feet and the main crosscut run
ming north to the incline shaft should
be in sight soon. The condition OF

this conclusion prove correct it will
be an easy matter to unwater and

NEW CAMP LOCATED IN Dis
TRICT DISCOVERED BY
HARRY STIMLER

Silver Crown, occupying the site
Of the old camp of Stimler, so miles
west of Goldfield and 16 miles west
of Blair, gives promise of becoming
the scene of considerable excite
ment in the immediate future, in
consequence of discoveries recently
made in the Wheeler-WatsOn lease
on the property of the Cottonwood
Canyon Mines company, which is
owned by a coterie of Chicago cap
italists. Goldfield and Blair mining
men, who have kept posted on the
results obtained by lessees, have
lately visited the district and, il
their enthusiasm can be taken as a
criterion, Silver Crown will unques-
tionably be the next objective point
of the "stampeders" before many
days roll by.
Charles G. Patrick. manager OF

MAKES F|vE-T0N
SHIPMENT OF ORE
WESLEY WESTFALL OPENS UP
TWO OREBODIES IN
HIS PROPERTY

At depth of 1875 feet in his Prep
erty in the Gold Mountain district,
midway between the Nevada En-
press mine and the Southwestern
Mines company property at Horn
silver, Wesley Westfall has opened
up two orebodies in three-foot
vein. which includes a rich streak on
the footwall. A five-ton shipment
lof ore, sampling better than $3.50
per ton, was recently made from the
property to the Columbia sampler Of
the Western Ore Purchasing CONF
pany, being hauled by Jack Ayl-
ward in his auto truck. Westfall
made like shipment of ore about
six week ago and he expects to send
out ore frequently in the future.
Dick De Vote has also opened up
good showing on his property. To-
Gated about mile and a half from
the Southwestern mine. On the
125foo level he has disclosed a
four-foot vein which yields values
averaging between SIS and $40 per
ton. He has sacked ten tons OF
sorted ore and will soon ship It.

vertical raise 503-E, east and west
drifts have been started along the
hanging wall of the vein on five feet
of SIS ore. From raise 529-A above
the 975-foot level an east drift is be-
ing advanced with full face of $40
ore. There is exposed in the roof
of raise 524-A above the south drift
on the SSO-foot intermediate level six
feet of $45 ore. Excellent headway
continues to be made in the work of
cleaning out, enlarging from two to
three-compartments size and retimber-
ing the old Original Velvet lease or
No. shaft. The work has reached
the 1S0-foot point, where station
platform has been found and the top
of drift set of timbers revealed.
These indicate that the early day
lessees prosecuted lateral work at
that depth Soundings indicate that
the shaft is filled with water below
the station platform. This will be
determined definitely after the sta
