OPENING SILVER PROPERTY
NEAR OLD CAMP BRISTOL

John Whipple, rancher and stock
man of %Sunnyside. recently secured
a lease on the Horn Silver Mining
company's property near the CAMP
of Bristol, in Lincoln county, and is
now taking out ore averaging 2OO
ounces of silver per ton, OF which ne
has a carload ready for shipment.
Mr.. Whipple originally located the
property about ten years ago and
later sold it to the Scotch people,
who. after doing considerable devel-
opment work, became discouraged
and laid down, but still kept up their
annual labor on the claims. Recent
ly Mr.. Whipple was fortunate enough
to secure a lease On the property,
and now has a force of men at work
taking out ore. The values occur in
the form of horn silver, bromides
and chlorides, and is free from any
other metals. Aside from the r1ch
ore there is a large vein which will
average from IL to IA ounces in sill
YER which Mr.. Whipple believes
would offer a splendid field for
teaching or cyaniding. The ore now
being taken out will be shipped to
Salt Lake smelters via Phoebe. -

DESERT HOLLY A
NATURAL WONDER
BEAUTIFUL GRAY PLANT EN-
TENSIVELY USED LOCALLY
FOR DECORATIONS

Desert holly. sent from various
points along the T. & T. railroad
line south of Goldfield, formed the
predominant note in the decorations
for Christmas in Goldfield this sea-
son. The ~delicately colored plant is
apparently a native of this dry n
desolate desert, yet it is respondent
with tints, shades and contrasts that
put the products of the o care
fully conducted Conservatives to
shame. The natural tones of the
desert are softly blended in the pearl
green of the leaves and stalks,
while the brightness of the desert
sun is embodied in the deep, red
glow of the berries.
When combined with English ncl-
lv and the evergreen, the soft II
of the leaves and berries are at their
best. The pearl gray-green OF the
desert product blends and harmon
ICES with the greens of the common
holly. forming a pleasing and
strange contrast. The bush, which
is on the order of the desert sage
in shape and size, grows in the
most barren and desolate spots on
the desert, although it is not averse
to water, as evidenced by the lux
uriant growth of the plant near the
wctering tanks along the route from
Tccopa to Death Valley Junction
The velvety leaves of he plant
are very moist and when bruised a
green fluid is discernible on the
silvery grey of the leaf. The req
berries of the plant show up in even
contrast than do the per-
ries of the English holly. nature

blending the pearl green with the
red aud has produced In the desert
holly a masterpiece.

TWO LONG AO|TS
CUT MANY VEINS
DEVELOPMENT AT ROCHESTER,
OPENS BIG AREA OF
BACKS

ROCHESTER,, New, Dec. &c. -
In connection with other develop
ment on the property, shipments of
high-grade ore are now being ex-
tracted by the Rochester Merger
Mines company from the Sunflower
and Rochester No. A claims of the
company, at a distance of ap-
proximately 24OO feet apart. The
Rochester No. A vein, which was
made famous by the large and rich
output of the Boughton lease, will
soon be cut at a depth of 500 feet
by the Pitt tunnel of the Merger
company, which is now in over 900
feet, but the present production is
being made through the old lease
workings.
On the Sunflower claim ore is be-
ing produced from a depth of about
IS feet, through a raise recently
completed to the surface from the
former lease workings on this
claim. About midway between this
point and the Pitt tunnel, the MeI-
ger territory is pierced for 1863
feet by the Friedman tunnel of the
Rochester Mines company, which
was by agreement started at the
base of the hill on Merger territory.
Several of the veins cut by the
Friedman tunnel belong to the
Merger and others farther ahead to
the Rochester Mines company.
Preparations are now being made
for installing equipment at a Sc
lected point on the Sunflower
claims for sinking a main working
shaft through which a number of
veins that form a network in this
vicinity will be developed, and this
country will later be opened at
greater depth by lateral work from
the Friedman tunnel, unless the
Merger company decides to drive an
other tunnel.
Other plans for extensive devel-
opment on the Crown Point Extern
sion group of the Merger, on the
east slope of the hill, are now being
shaped up, and the rich veins that
exist in that territory will be given
energetic attention. Altogether, the
outlook for the Merger is most
favorable that it will make n Of
the leaders of the district.
Rochester Mines company has
started a raise from the Friedman
tunnel to connect with the Codd or
No. 301 Wine from the Transpor-
tation tunnel, and something over
$50 feet will be required to make
the connection. This will make a
new outlet for the ore from the
upper levels, which will then be
dropped down to the Friedman tun-
mel and trammCd through that to the
railroad at the portal of the tunnel,
greatly reducing operating expenses
and o%bviating the necessity of doing
any hosting for years to come while
the veins are being worked above
the level of the tunnel.
Mining conditions are now about
normal in the main workings. The
mih has been running full blast
again for nearly two weeks since the
new locomotive was secured, and
the record for the time of operation
this month is expected to be exceed
ingly good.

The Senate passed a resolution on

aiming within the past 10 years. This

In response to this resolution, the
Secretary of War has recently trans
mitted the following report:
There are, approximately, 67,765
who left the regular army during the
10 years 1906-1915 after having s2rv-
ed three or more years. Included in
that total are 6,S93 men who went INTO
civil life without terminating their
services honorably. They either le-
serted and did not return to the en-
vice or were discharged by sentence Of
general court martial.
1.-THE number of men discharged on
account of disability after a service of
three or more years is not included in
this estimate, because the number is
small, and of the number so discharg-
ed only a small proportion is fit for
military service of any kind.

tual number of men discharged during
the period mentioned, but in some
cases it has been found necessary TO
approximate the number of men who
served three years before being sYp-
arated from service. For example,
the actual number of men discharged
by purchase during the past 10 years
is shown by the records of the Adju-
tant Generals office, but no compila-
ton has ever been made showing how
many of them had served three or
more years ebfore discharge, and an
examination of many thousands Of
individual records would be necessary
before such a compilation could be
made. However, an examination Of
the records for the year 1915 was
made, and it was ascertained that a
little over so per cent. of the total
number of men discharged by pur-
chase during that year had served
more than three years before dis
charge, and this percentage was ap-
piled to discharges by purchase dur
ing the other years covered by this
estimate, as it is reasonable to assume
that what is true of one year with re-
spect to these cases is relatively true
of the other years.
"Some of the men who have been
discharged from the army have no
doubt enlisted in the navy and marine
corps, but there are no data available
in this department from which tire
approximate number so enlisted can
be obtained.
"The men discharged from the
Philippine scouts are not included in
the figures before given.
"The number of men discharged
from the organized militia after
service of three years or more and
who we're not re-enlisted are shown
by the records of the War Depart
ment for the years 1911 to 1914, in
elusive, but are not shown for the
years 1905 to 1910, inclusive, although
the enlisted strength is shown. The
figures for 1915 have not been COM
piled. The number discharged during
the years 1905-1910 are estimated en-
the basis of the average ratio between
the total enlisted strength and dis
charges during the years for which
data are obtainable.
"The number of men who We're dis
charged from the militia during the
10 years mentioned, after a service of
three years mentioned, after a service
Of three years or more, is apprcXi-
mately 124,405. AS before stated,
figures for 1915 are not yet available.
but if the number of discharges dur
ing the year is as great as the average
number during the period 1912 to
1914, inclusive, the number who We're
discharged during the past 10 years
would be about $500. This ditTer-
ence is caused by the fact that TIE
number of discharges in 1915 should
be about 1000 greater than the num-
Der in 1905.
There are approximately 40,317
