LUCKY BOY CUTS FOUR
FEET OF HIGH GRADE

Secretary w. l.. Mangum of the
Knight properties has received a
message from the superintendent of
the Lucky Boy property at Lucky
Boy, New, which states that the tun.
mel has cut a four foot vein of high
grade observation-disclosures ore.
There are some streaks through the
vein which are exceptionally rich.
The tunnel is in 500 feet and the
ore is i a depth of 1900 feet.
Mr.. Mangum returned from the
property Friday and was pleased
with the indications in the mine al
though at that time ore had not been
struck and the news from the proper
ty is naturally very gratifying to
the management.-Salt Lake Tele-

SILICATES ABUNDANT
IN CRUST OF EARTH

~
In the solid crust of the earth the
silicates are by far the most abund-
ant constituents. They form at least
nine-tenths of the entire known mass
and comprise practically all the rocks
except the sandstones. quantities.
and carbOnates, and even these ex-
ceptions r commonly deriviations
of the silicates, which break up I'M
der various conditions, yielding new
bodies of their own class, together
with free silica and limestone.
From the biologists point of view,
the s~ilicates are of fundamental i'm
pOrtance, and a study of their inner
constitution may be reasonably ex-
pected to shed light upon many SER
iOus problems. AS an instance of
this, every rock of igneous origin
contains an aggregation of silicates,
each of which is capable of under
going chemical change in accord
ance with limitations imposed by
the structure of it's molecules.
When these dangers take place sec
ondary cOmpounds-alteration prod
ucts-are formed, and in time the
rock becomes transformed into new
substances, quite unlike those which
originally existed. A knowledge of
the processes which thus occur
should be applicable to the study of
the rocks and should ultimately rem
der it possible to investigate a meta
morphosed mass so as to clearly in
dictate it's origin.
In Bulletin 5SS, "The Constitution
of the Natural S%ilicates," by F. w.
Clarke, recently issued by the Unit
ed States geological survey, the au-
thor has attempted to express the
relatio nof different kinds of sill
cate to one another by means of
appropriate chemical formula. The
bulletin is technical in character
and will appeal only to the scientific
experts.

Rag War On

The belligerents across the pond
have nothing on the population of
Cherry Creek, White Pine county,
when it comes to battle, according to
recent events which have thrown
that staid community into a turmoil.
One of the factions claims that the
Raging INDUCED in in that town
causes more trouble than all the
thirst parlors of the camp combined.
On the other hand the defending fac
ton insists that the dance is divert
ing and pertains not in the least to
the vulgar. However no solution of
the problem is at hand and each
dance threatents to end in a pitched
battle.

MARBLE IS
NOW BEING QUARR|ED

The channelers al the quarry have
been lowered to the seventh floor,
which owing to the slope of the hill
is half again as large as was the
sixth, and are cutting away as ex-
peditiously as usual. The derrick
is busily pulling the remainder of
the marble already cut, on the
sixth floor, and it will soon be fol-
lowing close behind the machines
on the seventh.
The dump is increasing in size
daily, the waste rock being rolled
down the hill, and the good marble
blocks are piling up against the day
when the proposed railroad "a start
them on their way to a waiting mar
Ket.
The completion of the preliminary
survey of the railway passes the
transportation problem on to the
engineers, and the next step will be
the final running of lines for the
compilation of grades and dirt re-
moval. There will be comparatively
no dirt removal on the first mile of
track, as shown by the preliminary
survey, and the grade is SO slight
that an electric storage battery To-
connective will be able to move the
cars ove this stretch of track with
out difficulty, leaving but two miles
to be operated by cable.
The compressor tank has been con-
nected with the quarry reservoir,
giving a continuous flow of cool wa
ter, which will greatly add to the eff
ficiency of the machines.
The lining of the upper reservoir
has received a second coat of cement
and is now impervious to leakage.
The top is not of sufficient depth to
be taken into account. The pump
ing station has been running
smoothly.
The company has installed an
appreciate amount of permanent
improvements which will prove of aid
in efficiency lines. The garage is
turned into a fairly well equipped
machine shop and all ordinary
troubles will now be handed there
W1thOu d1n1cuty.
Few realize the advantages of con-
crete in such dusty countries as is
this until seeing the results and ad-
vantages accruing from the use of
the material. To a great extent, it
does away altogether with the dete-
rioration of tools through action of
dust and the elements. Especially
is this true arund motors, and
there is now not a motor or dynamo
around the plant that has not been
protected from dust and dirt sby
concrete flooring.
The physical condition and ap-
pearance of the quarry has improv-
ed rapidly, re%warding the twelve
hour per day efforts of those in
charge.-Carrara Obelisk.

IN EARLY MORNING
EDWARD STOCKWELL AND MISS

supposed to be slumbering peaceful

well, manager of the local office of

Miss Ivy Kessel were DESTROYS of en-
tering the bonds of matrimony.
There was, however, one legal objec-
ton to the accomplishment of their
desire, the bride not yet having at
tanned the required age of eighteen
years. So it behooved the contract
ing parties to wait until the BRIDE
to-be reached the specified age,
which occurred yesterday morning.
1t fell to the lot of Deputy Stewart
Myers to keep an all-night vigil in
the court house and at a few min
utes past the hour when the BRIDE
to-be became of age the license was
issued to the groom.
Stockwell, accompanied by his
bride, returned to the court house at
6 o'clock and Justice Marvin Ar
mold, who was there by pre-arrange-
ment, performed the ceremony. The
happy couple departed two hours
later over the T. and G., railroad for
San Francisco where they will spend
their honeymoon of several weeks.
Later they will return and make
their home in Goldfield.

Freak OperatiOn

by providence, was the IA Of
saving the sight of Mrs. Lillias E.
Jensen, a resident of that city. Mrs.
Jensen lost the sight of her left eye
in England several years ago, and
two years ago the right ~ became
paralyzed and as a result she has
been only able to distinguish light
from darkness. She refused to In
dergo an operation on her eye. but
when DR.. H.. A. Brown of Reno dis
covered that it was her eye tooth
that had caused her blindness she
readily consented to the pulling of
the tooth. The tooth was pulled and
a section of her jaw and cheek bone
was removed with the result that she
has regained the sight of her right
eye.
