MRS. YOUNG STOPS FOES

Ella Flagg Young is superintendent
of schools and intends to stay as
such for some time. So when the
committee on efficiency and expend-
lures met in Pres. Collins Office to
discuss a proposal which would give
much of Mrs. Young's power to Sec'y
Lewis Larson of the school board, the
school head sat in. ~
After some hesitation the commit
tee started to work on plans to cut
costs and salaries to make up the an
nual deficit. When the afternoons
business was over they had forgotten
to take away Mrs. Youngs authority,

ELECTRIC LIGHT TRUST is HIT
BY SUIT

Mandamus action to annul the
charter of the Public Service Co. of
Northern Illinois was started today
by Atty Meyer ]. Stein, Oak Park,
law secretary of the state senate.
Stein charges that the corporation,
a $1,000,000 concern, forfeited it's
rights to existence by merchandising
it's products. Success of his action
would obliterate the company in
Evanston or else force it to make
terms with the city. Stein tried for
four months to get the utilities com
mission to get action, without sue
cess.

Trinidad, Colo, April 2o.-One year
ago eleven women and children were
burned to crisp and nine men were
burned or shot to death in the coal
mine strikers camp at Ludlow. To-
day is the first anniversary of the
famous Ludlow massacre, known in
union circles as 1.-THE Lexington of
Labor" Unprovoked, the machine
guns of the state militia and mine
guards followed by the torch swept
out the strikers tent colony. Today
in place of a canvas town of LOO
souls a scant dozen tents are scat
tered in the bottom of the saucer
shaped basin where the tragedy took
place.
Accompanying E. P Costigan,
twice Bull Moose candidate for gov
ernor of Colorado, and John R. Law
son, the labor leader being tried for
murder, a group of union miners Wis
tied the scene toady. They pointed
out the hole where the women and
children seeking refuge from the
sweep of the machine guns were
trapped by the flames. The big well
was still to be seen in which u wom-
en- and children huddled in terror for
eight hours, until under cover of a
freight train they reached an arroyo
that led to safety.

LIBEL SUIT BITTER
Syracuse, N. Y, April 20.-Though
both Barnes and Roosevelt are being
importuned to compromise their fight
and avoid revelations which may up
set and blight their political careers,
testimony in the Barnes $4,000 libel
suit against the Bull Moose leader to-
day indicated that both sides will
fight to the bitter end.
VIM. M. WINS, chief counsel for
Barnes, declared in his opening adj
dress that Roosevelt has continued a
course of attack on Barnes since the
Saratoga convention of 1910 because
of Barnes antagonism in their fight
for Republican leadership in New
York.
WINS also told of Barnes opposi-
ton to Roosevelt's leadership in the
1912 Republican convention at Chi
cago and said Roosevelt's defeat
gave rise to malice" of the colonel
toward Barnes. He said that State
Senator Harvey D. Human pro-
claimed his independence of Barnes
leadership because of Roosevelt's po-
sition.
Barnes brought a dozen newspa-
permen here to testify regarding
RooseVelt's statements and speeches
attacking him.

ATTORNEY CHARGES COLLUS|ON
and FRAUD IN THE VELVET DEAL

Frederick Bausman of Seattle, at
torney for Mrs. Lucy V. S. Ames in
the Merger receivership litigation,
who arrived in camp Friday, today
gave to the press a statement bear
ing upon the proceedings. He stat.
ed that he is preparing an amended
complaint setting forth in detail tho
allegations contained in the orgr
nal complaint and additional charg-
es based upon new information which
he says he has obtained since the ac-
tion was started. Mr.. Bausman's
statement follows:
Ross Clark and President Whit
temore of the Merger admitted in
Los Angeles last Saturday to coun-
sci for the complainant and to the
two minority directors of the Mer-
ger that the control of Merger had
been obtained in Seattle in 1911 by
Mr.. Whittemore falsely represent
ing that the new investors were
Senator Clark and his brother, Ross
Clark, and that Whittemore used
this deception on the Merger share
holders because the Merger share
holders were unwilling to allow the
control to pass to George Wingfield,
and he distinctly convinced them
that he was not acting for the latter.
They also admitted that Immediate
ly on obtaining this control they in
dorsed the shares over in blank to
Wingfield and have carried the stock
in their names for his use without
revealing that fact to the old share
holders. and have kept up a Clark
board of directors from that day to
the present, but exclusively employ
ing Wingfield engineers and super
intendentS.
''As to the sale of the Jumbo Exten-
sion shares given to the Merger
company in payment for the Velvet
claim, they admitted that these had
been sold after high-grade discover
les in the Velvet were known, and
that they were sold without any

ST0PE STARTED ON
FIND IN FLORENCE
THREE FOOT FACE GIVES AS
SAY RETURN OF $135
PER TON

The ore body recently revealed
by the south drift on the new vein
disclosed several months ago by a
65-foot west crosscut from the main
north drift on the 25O-foct level of
the Florence mine is responding
splendidly to development. A stope
was started today on the footwall
incline raise from vertical raise "A"
on three feet of ore that assays $135
per ton.
The top of the incline raise is ex-
posing in all a total width of nine
feet of ore. Just prior to the re-
cent temporary suspension of oper-
ations in the raise, 50-ton carload
of ore extracted from it averaged
$40 per ton, according to smelter
returns just received by General
Superintendent Harry B. Clapp.
Raise B." started forty feet south
of raise "A" in the drift, has at
tanned a height of forty feet and is
now exposing three feet of $31 ore
on the footwall side, as well as two
feet of $40 rock on the hanging
wall side. Raise g." sixty feet
south of raise B. is now up about
ten feet and there is in the top
three feet of ore carrying values of
$12.6O per ton. On the 350-foot
level, crosscutting east from the
main north drift to intercept the
downward extension of the ore body
continues. The crOsscut is advanc-
ing through the dacite formation.
Superintendent Clapp estimates that
it will require from S5 to 100 feet
of work in the crosscut to reach the
objective point. About a months
time will be consumed in accom-
plishing the work.

permanency of the receivership. 9th
ers maintain that when a hearing is
ad the proceedings will be dis
missed and the receiver discharged
by the court. When questioned as to
rumors of possible early settlement
of the litigation, Receiver Carl H.
Johanson stated that he possessed no
information on the subject.
Jumbo Extension
Operations at the Jumbo Exten-
sion mine during the last week, while
devoid of sensational developments,
have been attended with uniformly
pleasing results. The management
is at present giving special atten-
tion to exploratory work in the ore
body and along the latite-shale con-
tact on the deeper levels of the
property, as well as the extension in
the shale of the east crosscut on the
1017-foot level, which is now about
210 feet in length from the east line
of the Poleverda claim. When it
has been advanced about sixty feet
from the present face, another raise,
to be known as "503-E," will be put
up for the purpose of further reveal
ing the ore body. The mine at pres
ent is shipping a carload of ore
daily, which averages around $50 per
ton,

point, to which it was sunk in the
early days of the camp, and contin-
uing down to the 1017-foot level will
be in full swing within the next ten
days or two weeks. The purpose of
the management in continuing the
shaft to the 1017-foot point is to
afford more hoisting facilities and to
permit of the exploration of the
northeastern section of the Velvet
claim upon more extensive plan
than is possible at present through
the main shaft on the Poleverda
claim. The eight-drill air compress

SWING

Operations by the Goldfield Shale
Mining company at the Wilbur lease
on the Spearhead claim of the

are now in full swing after several
weeks of preparatory work in the
way OF equipping the ground with
machinery, and the future develop
ment of the leasehold will be prose-
cuted with all possible vigor, ac-
cording to the management.
The work of baling thirty feet of
accumulated seepage water from the
25OfOOt Shale No. 1 shaft, to
which operations will be confined for
the present, was completed a few
days ago, and miners are now busy
installing new ladders and new
tlmbers where needed. This work

ana then sinking will be re-
sumed with two shifts of miners.
The shaft has been equipped with
60 h.. p. gasoline hoist, a 56-foot
gallOws frame and a steel safety
crosshead.
A close study of the geology Of
the lease and adjoining properties
has convinced the management that
the latite-shale contact will be re-
vealed by the shaft at a depth of ap-
prOximately 1850 feet instead OF
$50 feet, as originally estimated. 1t
is now the plan of the management
to crosscut northwest from the shaft

No. l shafts are situated about $50
feet apart and it is calculated that
crosscut of approximately so feet
from the latter at a depth of 700
feet will be required to expose the
veins referred to. The crosscut work
will not be permitted to interfere
with the plan of sinking Shale No. 1
shaft to the contact as rapidly as
possible.

ANOTHER SHAFT
GOES TO SHALE
DIAMOND VALLEY COMPANY IS
PREPARING TO EXPLORE
ON DEEP LEVELS

Preparations are being made for
the development, upon substantial
scale. of the Diamond Valley prop
erty; the project having been liber-
ally financed by Colorado men,
through the agency of the II. A. Rie-
del Investment company of Denvcr.
The operations of tne company will
be under the personal direction OF
Il. A. Byler. prominent mining en-
gineer of Goldfeld, who has famiI-
iarized himself with the ground and
is impressed with its possibilities
under a comprehensive system of de-
velopment. First-class equipment
will be installed and active work
will be in progress in the near fu~
ture.
The Diamond VaiIey property,
consisting of two patented claims.

mond, is situated short distance
nor beast of the Orc and Booth, ad-
joining the Norcross group on the
north, and covers fracture line
lying a short distance east of and
parallel with the Columbia Mountain
fault. A preliminary report on the
property by Charles ID. Wilkinson,
sets forth that the territory contains
a strong vein, with cross-fissurlng TO
the north, and that the formation is
largely Milltown andesite, the same
as found on the Daisy and on part
of the Florence GOldfield property.
Mr.. Wilkinson pronOunces the
ground favorable for development.
On the Valley View claim there is
a double compartment shaft down
about 100 feet and this will be
sunk without interruption to
depth of at least 600 feet. or un-
til the shale contact is penetrated.
The main vein on the Valley View
which has northerly trend and is
twenty feet wide and of excellent
character, should be inteIsected by
the shaft at a point near the con
tact. The Black Diamond vein haa
an easterly trend, is from six to
eight feet in width and can be de-
veloped from the main shaft. Good
paintings have been obtained from
these veins near the surface.
The exploration of this ground At
depth will attract interest, owing to
its relation to the Columbia Noun
tain fault and the fact that the work
planned may serve to determine
conditions at the point where the
main vein, the Columbia Mountain
fault plane and the underlying
shale all come into close juxtaposi-
tion. offering a situation that will be

JUMBO EX. SHIPS
CARLOAD DAILY
ING ATTENTION OF
MANAGEMENT

Although the management of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company
is largely confining its energy to de-
velopment work, such operations
are yielding sufficient ore to permit
of carload shipments daily. These
shipments are made up from the mix
ed yield of the various workings be-
ing extended in the ore body for
exploratory purposes and are aver
aging around $50 per ton. On the
whole, the mine continues to make
a highly creditable showing.
On the S65-foot level a raise was
recently started near the face of the
northeast drift along the contact to
determine the width of the ore shoot.
This raise is now up thirty feet, but
has thus far not exposed the hang
ing wall of the vein. The raise has
exposed small values for it's entire
height. The face of the drift is al
most beneath the old Original Vel
vet lease shaft. sunk to depth OF
400 feet in the early days and which
the management will enlarge from
continue to the 1017-foot level to
provide additional hosting facilities
and more aggressively develop the
northeastern section of the Velvet
claim than is possible at present
through the Poleverda shaft. On
the 921-foot level the southeast drift
along the contact is being continued.
Four feet of $11 ore is being
mined from the face of the southwest
drift along the contact from the 30
foot raise above the southwest drl1t
on shale "a" level. On shale "B
level, the east crosscut from the
northeast drift was recently resum-
ed and extended total distance OF
forty feet to determine the existence
on that level of tn shale formation
encountered by raise 5O3-D above
the 1O17-foot level east crosscut
after penetrating eight feet OF
quartz. The work in the crosscut
on shale "B" level has proven that
5O3-D raise was started in hill OF
shale. At height of 13O feet above
the 1O17-foot level, raise 5O3-D mas
been discontinued on account OF bad
air. with the top still in shale. The
territory above this raise will be ex-
plored by drifts on the 921-foot and
shale "B" levels. The southeast
drift from raise 5O3-D is at present
being extended on four feet OF $40
ore. while work in the northwest
drift has been temporarily sus-
pended.
Good headway is being made IN
the extension of the east crosscut
on the 1O17-foot level, work In
which was recently resumed. 1t has
been advanced thirty feet beyond
raise 5O3-D, which gives 1t a total

NEW DISCOVERY IS
MADE IN TALMAGE
MANAGER HAYS PLEASED WITH
RESULTS OF DEVELOP.
MENT WORK

Highly encouraging results are
being obtained by the Talmage Mines
company in the development work on
the property located on Vindicator
mountain in the northeastern sec
tion of the Goldfield district. Man.
arer c. w. Hays states that the
property is in better physical condi-
tion at present than at any time since
it's exploration was begun and he is
exceedingly confident of its future.
In addition to determining what
proved a slight fault in the vein on
the 200-foot level at a point 275
feet south of the shaft, a crosscut ex-
tended fifteen feet eastward from
the south drift has disclosed eight
feet of quartz that assays $3.50 per
ton in gold, silver and copper. Aft
er the crosscut penetrated the fault,
drifting south on the vein was re-
sumed and the face is now expos
ing three feet of ore that gives val
ues of from SIS to $50 per ton.
On the 3O0-foot level, the east
crosscut, now out 160 feet from the
shaft, is being continued with view
to intercepting big ledge which
outcrops On the surface. 1t is the
plan of the management to soon re-
sumo sinking in the main chaft,
which is now down 80 feet. In the
bottom, two feet of quartz giving
gold values of Sc per ton was re-
Gently revealed between the latte
and granite formations. The shaft
