about 18 miles.
Mr.. Workman says the first neces.
sity of the camp at this time is q
good road. He says with very little
work through five miles of canyon in.
to Squaw valley a good road can be
constructed down Rock creek leading
to the Red House ten miles east OF
Golcorda in Humboldt county.
But MI. Davis declares Divide would
prefer to do its trading with Elko.
Divide as yet is a medley of tents
No attempt has been made to form
town and lay out streets. The tents
are pitched on mining claims.
There Is a good site for a town and
there is good water and plenty Of wood
for fuel. This is cottonwood and as.
pen. But twenty miles north there is
fir for mining tlmbers.
Most Of the Divide country is under
lease from the government by the
Golconda Cattle company at 25 cents
an acre. But the government has re.
served the mineral and It is all open
to prospectors.
The ledges at Divide have great
width, ten to twenty feet. The best
ore is very high grade running n thous.
and ounces in silver and $3.50 in gold.
The surface showing is most en-.
couraging. The greatest depth is
about thirty feet in the Trimbath
lease. When Mr.. Workman came out
the tunnel on this lease was in sew.
en- feet OF high grade ore.
The only question now to be deter.
mined at Divide is the depth of the
veins. This of course takes time But
no mining camp in Nevada ever start.

KAISER WILL LIMIT
SUBMARINE BOATS
Confidence Felt That Diplomatic Ex-
changes Over Arabic VIII
Settle Differences
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-It is re-
ported that Count Bernstorfr gave
Secretary Lansing assurances that
Germany will limit the operations of
her submarines. She has practically
pledged that no more Americans will
be harmed
1t is evident that Germany does
not desire America to enter the war.
Officials admit that If Germany de-
sired Americas participation 1t would
be hard for this country to keep out.
Bernstorff's request has largely re-
moved apprehension. All doubt is
practically removed that settlement
of the Arabic case will be accomplish
ed peaceably. Progress is slow as
Germany is without details of the
sinking.
1t is reported that Germany drafted
a reply to the Lusitania note. Confir-
nation of this is not obtainable.
Confidence is felt that the diplo.
matte exchanges will lead to a set
tlement of all difficulties In the Arabic
affair.

ENGINEER F|NDLATER
RETURNS TO ELK(
Elko ShaIe Oil Plant in Abeyanee
While War Lasts Account High
Cost Of Chemicals

Engineer Findlater arrived this
morning from New York. Owing to
the European war the work of or
ganizing the company TO develop the
Elko oil shales Is in abeyance. Mr..
Findlater in an interview with the
Independents representative this af.
ternoon said:
Il had long conference with Mr..
Catlin In New York and we did con.
siderable research work in the de-
velopment of new products. A very
valuable product used in the sugar
industry has been found in the shale,
and my object in returning here is to
obtain certain data with regard to
cost of production.
. I'VE have practically decided that
we will not start work on a large
plant until the war is over. We have
been watching the markets and feel
that until. conditions are normal we
cannot go full-speed ahead.
"A small plant will be built in Elko
to produce sufficient of the oil prod.
ucts for trial of their merits by the
users.
The result of these trials will de.
termine the scale on which the works
will be built.
Mr.. Catlin fully realizes the value
of the property, but is not disposed
to enlist the required capital until con.
dltions are more settled.
"The prices of the necessary cheml.
Gals used in the industry have steadi.
ly increased since left Elko for New
York and their present level is pro.
hibitive."

WORKMAN TALKS Of
DIVIDE FORMATION
Thinks Country All Way Into Tusea.
rora and Four Miles In Width
is Minreal Nearing

J. l.. Workman returned yesterday
from Winnemucca and went out last
evening in his car for the new camp
OF Divide. He was accompanied
from Winnemucca by his wife who
will remain in Tuscarora.
Mr.. Workman brought with him a
surveying outfit and will survey his
claims In the new camp.
He also brought along his assay out
fit. TIE already has an assay office
under construction.
And what is more to the point for
the present he took with him a bum
die Of new lease forms. The ground
is being divided up into blocks of 200
feet, AS there are seven claims in
the San Juan group owned by Work
man ands Davis this would make
room for fifty leasers. But the own
ers are reserying certain ground for
development by themselves.
The leases run for one year with
second year to work the dumps. The
royalty Is Is per cent on all ore up
to $3.50 ton. Over $50 a ton the
royalty is % per cent.
Mr.. Workman in an interview with
the representative of the Independent
said the Divide district was. undoubt-
edly an extension of the Tuscarora
minreal belt.
This belt runs from Tuscarora
northwest four miles beyond Divide.
making total length of twelve miles.
1t Is four miles in width Mr.. Work
man believes that this whole district
Is mineral bearing and that more than
one mining camp will be established
within It's borders.
The formation Mr.. Workman de-
scribed as andesite and rhyolite with
dacite in between. The ore is a
ohirt quartz and Is a replacement of
the ryholite.
That country of course, is all vol
oanic and at one time there has been
a great upheaval. 1t was this that
made the range of mountains. On the
northwest and southeast.
But the vein system runs In just
the opposite direction, that is, north
east and southwest. Thus the veins
crosscut the range or run at right an
giles to 1t.
That district at one time was COW
cred by great inland sea or lake.
There are along the southern rim the
remains Of ten distinct sea beaches.
These were made by the rising and
falling of the ancient water level. The
northern border has not been recon
noitered for these sea beaches.
Then came the great upheaval that
made that range of mountains and
assured the formation. These assures
were filled with the hot water solu.
tions Carrying their metal burden
which eventually became the present
ore bodies.
Most Of these assures are now hid.
on with an oyerburden of wash two
to fifty feet In thickness. Thus It will
take much prospecting to find the
veins and there is no way OF estimat.
ing their number.
Mr.. Workman when he came out
last week had with him his aneroid
and took the elevations. Divide itself
has an altitude OF 400. Tuscarora
$3.50 and the mountain in between is
800 feet high. Or direct line over
this mountain II In eight miles from
Divide to Tuscarora.
It is about twelve miles by the way
Of the wagon road and this runs over
the mountain. To avoid this mountain
one can go six miles north OF Tusca.
