The family OF p. r. Hobble are
wondering why it took postal card
more than four years to reach them
from Liberal. The card was mailed
at Liberal September %. 1910, at 8
O'Clock in the evening, the postmark
shows. 1t reached the Hobble family
here a few days ago. 1t shows much
sign of wear, but the writing is per-
fectly legible. Liberal is only about
hundred miles from Dodge. The
only explanation the postal author
tiles can offer is that the card be-
came stuck in the flap of a mail sack
in some way, and travelled about for
four years before it came loose

Notice the bitterness of the parti-
sans in congress when they refer to
the administration. They are near
ing the coming campaign and must
get bitter in order to be able to make
the kind of dirty fight they think
necessary in order to get anywhere
in 1916. The people are better
posted now than they we're in the old
days when a single shake of GER
tain garment would lead an army of
voters blindly to the polls. No more
of that kind of voting in America
The great common people are read
ing as never before and they are
prepared to vote right regardless OF
what demagogues may proclaim

METAL PRODUCTION OF
TENNESSEE IN 1914

The combined value of the gold,
silver, copper and zinc produced at
mines in Tennessee in 1914 was
, slightly lower than in 1918 accord
ing to figures compiled by H. D. Nc
Caskey of the United States geolo-
gicel survey.
The gold and silver produced was
derived from the refining of cop
per ores mined by the Ducktown
Sulpher, Copper and Iron company
and the Tennessee Copper company.
The output of gold declined from
$685. in 1913 to $$6,194 in 1914
and the yield of silver from 1885,
'1O5 fine ounces, valued at $65,295
in 1913 to 97,4O2 ounces, valued at
$53,S64 in 1914. The production
of copper in 1914 was 1~S,737,656
pounds valued at $2,492, los, COM
pared with 19,390,750 pounds val
ued at $3,OO5,5 66 in 1913. The to-
tai quantity of copper ores treated
in 1914 amounted to 653,621 short
tons having an average recoverable
metal content of 2S.7 pounds OF
copper and 9 cents in gold and sill
yer a ton. The quantity of copper
ore treated in 1914 was 1868 tons
greater than in 1913 and the aver
age recoverable copper content was
about one pound less a ton.
The production of zinc was by far
the largest ever recorded from Ten
nessee and was obtained from the
10y mine and Russell and Prender-
grass mine in Jefferson county; the
Mascot mines in Knox county and
the Embree mine in Washington
county. OF these, the Mascot mines,
owned by the American Zinc COM
pany, we're the largest producers of
sphalerite and the Embree mine
shipped most of the zinc carbonate
ore.

Another Desert Tragedy

Almost within sight OF water, q
man, believed to have come from
Bakersfield, Calf, was found dead
on the main road from Las Vegas TO
ST. Thomas. Just a few feet away
was the dead body of his horse, still
tied to the wheel of the wagon.
Empty demijohns and canteens
found in the wagon told the tale OF
another desert tragedy. The mans
clothing was torn to shreds, done by
himself in his delerium. The position
of the wagon, to which the horse was
tied, gave the impression that the
man had stopped to acmp, became
delirious during the night from lack
of water and died without regaining
consciousness. The condition of the
ground about the horse indicated that
the animal had made desperate eff
forts to free itself from the rope. A
pan of grain was on the ground in
front of it. The gruesome discov-
cry was made by DR.. Roy w. Martin
of Las Vegas while on lis way to
answer a sick call at ST. Thomas.
The doctor in passing the spot
thought that the man had just
camped there and was asleep. He
would have passed by had not the
odor of ~decaying flesh reached him.

AURORA CON-. BUILDING
MUD SPRINGS ROAD

The Aurora Consolidated Mines
company has given a contract to P.
j. Conway of Sweetwater to build
a wagon road from Mud Springs to
Aurora. The company agrees to
pay $4,000 for this work, it is to be
completed by July Is, 1915.
The new road will reduce the dis
lance from Mud Springs to Aurora
four miles and will be the mean of
bringing all freight for Aurora, Bo-
di- and Mono lake through Haw-
thorne. The Reeding Transportation
company. now hauling from Hudson,
is arranging to build garages and
freight depots at Thorne. AMI will
make its headquarters there.
While the Aurora Con. Co., has
let this road contract to Conway 1t
would be no more than just that
the county should share in the ex-
pense, inasmuch as it will prove of
great benefit to teamsters and 9TH
ers engaged in the transportation
business.
The Aurora Consolidated company
pays each year $1,000 into the
county treasury in taxes and before
long they will add to that sum a
substantial amount in bullion tax.
The company has expended a large
amount of money in sampling and
development of the Aurora mines,
and has erected the finest milling
plant in the state, to say nothing
OF having pulled Aurora out Of the
slough of dependency in which it
has been plunged for 80 years.
In view of these facts it is only
fair that the county should contrib
ute it's mite to the betterment of a
road which means so much for the
general welfare.-Walker Lake Bull

GREAT BEND IS
LOWERING WATER
LATERAL OPERATIONS TO SOON
BE RESUMED By THE
COMPANY

At the Great Bend the pumps are
handling from 100000 to 100000
gallons of water daily-more than
enough to supply the domestic wants
of Goldfield. This is one of the most
encouraging evidences of the I'M
watering hat has been going On for
six weeks. The chief significance
rests in the fact that the company
has at last tackled the real flow and
is more than holding it's own The
main shaft has been freed to $40
feet and only so feet of muck re-
mains at the bottom to impede en-
trance to the lateral workings.
The hosting of muck is going on
while the pump and bailer are kept
busy and a material advance is made
every shift. For thirty days the
crews have had only to contend with
the water in the shaft, but now
they are struggling against the flood
in the whole submerged underground
area. Nevertheless, they realize
they have combated the greatest dan
ger of caves, slips, slides. rotten tim
bers and bad ground. The constant
unwatering process has had an ap-
preciable effect in the four shafts,
and 5000 feet of tunnels, drifts and
Slopes stretching out over the 112
acres that at n time and another
have been under active development.
Even the two small shafts on the
southern slope over the main chan
mel of the Diamondfeld watershed
show the flood is abating. The i'm
provement may not be much, but
there it must be understood that
where human ingenuity is certainly
mastering such a deluge there is
good cause for congratulation.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT

Fuller's earth was discovered in
Florida in 1898 through mere acct
dent. An effort was made to burn
brick on the property of the Owl CT
gar company near Quincy; the effort
failed, but an employee of the COM
pany called attention to the close re-
semblance of the clay used to the Ger
man Fuller's earth. Florida is now
the leading state in the production
of Fuller's earth, having reported
for 1914 more than rs per cent of
the total quantity and value.

FLOW OF WATER
HAS INCREASED
DOWNWARD EXTENSION OF
PHELAN VEIN REVEALED
IN SILVER PICK

In consequence of the disclosure
of the downward extension of the
'Phelan lease ledge by the west cross
cut on the 500-foot level at a point
$40 feet from the shaft, General
Superintendent Walter S. Norris is
just at present confronted with the
task of handling more than double
the normal flow of water in the
property of the Silver Pick Consoli-
dated Mines company. By working
the big pump on the 700-foot level
full capacity and keeping the baler
in continual operation, Superintend-
ent Norris has thus far been able
to successfully cope with the stu
alton. He is confident hat the
flow will diminish as the new chan.
nels opened are drained and that he
will have no difficulty in handling
the normal flow with the present
pumping facilities.
Until the exposure of the vein,
which was accompanied by the find
ing Of low grade values, the flow OF
water measured for weeks around
10000 gallons per day. 1t now
measures $4,000 gallons. Fortu-
nately, bulkheads were installed in
the crosscut on the 500-foot level
near the shaft and by the use of
these and a drain pipe from the
crosscut to the stump below the 700
foot level, it has been possible for
the management to handle the in
creased flow easier than otherwise.
To relieve the pressure on the pumps
and baling operations through the
main shaft, the Is h. p. gasoline
hoist in the old Phelan shaft has
been put to work baling water from
those workings, measuring in linear
length approximately 1000 feet, in
addition to $50 feet of shaft work.
Superintendent Norris has been
expecting the west. crosscut on the
500-foot Level to reveal the Phelan
vein for more than a month. The
delay is accounted for by the reason
of the fact that the 500-foot level
work shows that the ledge straight
ened up from a dip of 80 to 70 de-
grees to the east. Thus far the
crosscut has penetrated the ledge Il
distance of eight feet with no sign
of the footwall appearing. The
quartz disclosed has an excellent
appearance. The highest assay thus
far obtained was $4.91. AS soon
as the flow of water diminishes suf-
ficiently to permit the crosscut will
be continued to the footwall. SUI
pe%rintendent Norris is confident that
a discovery of Importance will soon
be made in the exploration of the
vein. ~Crosscutting east on the 700
foot level continues.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

None of the mines in New Hamp-
shire reported any production of gold,
silver, copper or lead in 1914, and
the only shipments made were OF
zinc concentrates derived from ore
mined priod to 1914 by the Warren
Separating company in Grafton coun-
ty. These concentrates were utilized
in testing a new furnace for the elec'
trio smelling of zinc ores. The esti-
mated recoverable zinc content of the
ore shipped was 12,454 pounds. val
ued at $685..

GOLD IN

The mine production of gold in
Georgia in 1914 was 1906 fine
ounces valued at $16,27O and the
output OF silver was 81 fine ounces
valued at $37. The production CT
geld in 1913 was valued at $15,-
los.
The yield of placer gold was 534.-
20 fine ounces in 1914 against 414.-
81 ounces in 1913 and the output
from quartz or deep mines was
252.SG fine ounces against 316.2S
ounces in 1913. The precious met
ais were produced by &c placers and
II deep mines in Georgia in 1914.
A total of 1850 short tons of
siliceous gold ores, with an average
gold an silver recovery of SO a ton
was treated in Georgia in 1914
against 2,614 short tons with all
average recovery of $2.51 in 1913.
The production of gold was con-
tributed by mines in IA counties,
of which Lumpkin county had the
largest number of operators and the
largest output amounting to SALT.
The White county gold production
was smaller than usual, so that Ra,
bun county exceeded it by more than
$4,000.
