CLARK SHAFT PROGRESSING

Sinking continues on the Rea
property, at Jackson mountain,
upon which former Senator Clark
of Montana has an option. The
shaft is near the 300-foot point but
may be sunk deeper before lateral
work is begun.

GRE WILL BE SHIPPED
FROM ORIZABA PROPERTY

1t is reported that contract has
been let for the hauling of 800
tons of ore to the railroad at Mill
ers from the Orizaba mine, north
of Millers and controlled by the
Diamondfield Black Butte company.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-08-12

yielded assays up to $1,000 per ton,
with many between 800 and $500
per ton. The ore broken in explor-
ing the vein is being sorted for
shipment. A winze is being sunk to
further explore the vein and is in
good ore.
Silver Pick Cons.
Interest in the Silver Pick grows
as the shaft approaches the point
where highgrade ore was cut by
the core drill, just before it pene-
trated the shale. Below this point
the drill, after passing through some
40 feet of shale, entered another
quartz channel, apparently the zone
marking the contact between the
shale and alaskite, where good as
says were also obtained. The drill
Is being sunk from the 5OO-foot
level, 450 feet west of the shaft, and
is down over 100 feet from the sur
face without penetrating the shale.
Merger Mines
The dead work in the northern
part of the Sunflower claim is near
ly completed, and Manager Law
renee will soon begin system of
work that will serve to thoroughly
EXPLORE the shale contact in ground
east of and in line with the dip of
the Jumbo Extension ore-channel.
lndiactions of quartz have been
found at several points in driving
the north cross-cut in the shale.
parallel with the west side-line, and
these will be followed up to the
contact by means of raises.
Atlanta Mines
The work of changing the pump
ing system of the Atlanta and Merg-
er mines, on deep levels, will soon
be completed, resulting in important
economies for these companies, and
upon his return from his vacation,
Manager Darcy will double his
working force in the Atlanta and
will devote all his energies here to
driving the west cross-cut on the
175O-foot level. to reach and ex-
plore the parallel Consolidated vein
for the extension of the rich ore
shoot exposed at the 1500-foot level.
Lone Star Cons.
The southeast drift is progressing
at good speed, but has not yet reach
ed the foot-wall of the great dixie,
which is much wider at this depth
than was indicated in work on levels
nearer the surface Manager Ar
mold is confident that when the foot
wall is reached he will find pay ore

AS the north drift progresses
there are further indications of the
presence of important orebOdies in
this territory, where many good as

DO GIRLS IN THEIR
 EARLY TEENS MAKE GOOD WIVES?

"Oh. I'd rather ride on trolley
 With a poor young girl at my sloe Than have coach and four with so4o
 galore
 And a fine lady for my bride. A grand lady would sit before me
 On a cushion made with taste. The other would sit beside me
 With my arm around her waist.
 It seems strange to me-the great number of letters that come to me from youths, men who have supposed ly arrived at the years Of dlscreuon and, indeed, men of older years asK- ing if I think their future happiness would be safe if they took for W11e girl in her early teens.
 The youth of one and twenty mlgnt come out none the worse for rusn1ng headlong into matrimony at an carry age and with so young a mate, put tle man of thirty or over cannot aford 10 juggle with his future peace Of m1nd. At sixteen, or whereabouts, girl pos sesses the heart and inexperience Of a child. No matter how you may try to gure it out to the contrary. the plain truth is that an old head cannot De put on young shoulders.
 The world would stand aghast at the very mention of boy of sixteen talk ing upon himself the cares and re- responsibilities of being a husband to a mature spouse. The situation the other way is quite as incongruous. Every girl, under the right auspices. is intended to make a good wife, but not at so tender an age. The very young girl has not the right concep- tien of what true love really is. No faith should be placed in her protest ations to the contrary. She only im- agines her heart is responding to loves call Her inexperience should bar her from being expected to pre-. side well and judiciously, over hus- bands home. While it is true that she may have been obliged to take the helm under. her fathers roof that was different.
 There was but one head to that home and that head was-father. The youthful housekeeper was not allowed sented to this expenditure or refused that one as his judgment dictated. The girls powers to run the house as As a wife. the restraint would be re-
 
 would display womanly ability which only years of experience could prop erly develop?
 Last, but by no means least, there is the girls heart to consider very gravely. A great absorbing love might spring from her union with the youth. Who shall say that the older man in the years to come might be able to convince her that she had not made a mistake in taking upon herself mar ltal VOWS too early to-realize their full Import?'
 Philosophers have decided that the truest happiness has existed and ever will exist where the husband is older than the wife, but by no means should be double-never- three times-her age if true love should reign in their home. Twenty or over is quite young enough for al girl to wed. She should have opportunity to frolic with her dolls up to that time.

THE FIGURE-HEAD.

 There was an ancient carver that t carved of saint But the parson wouldn't have it, ,so }t3 he took a pot of paint And changed its angel garments flor dashing soldier rig, And said it was figure-head and sold it to brig. The brig hauled her mainsail to an off-short draught, Then she took her snowy royals and
 the Scillies went abaft; And cloudy with her canvas she ran
 before the Trade Till she got. to the Equator, where
 she struck a merrymaid. "A string of pearls and conches were s all of her togs, But the hying-fish and porpoises they Gt followed her like dogs; She had voice of silver and lips, of
 coral red,
 She climbed the dolphin-strikerJ and
 kissed the figure-head. Then every starry evening she d. swim in the foam
 
 ingale at home; Shefd call to Him and sing to him as { sweetly as bird, But the wooden-headed effigy he nev-
 CT said word. And every starry evening in the dol fsf druf calms She'd wiggle up the bobstay> and afC I,o clo About his scarlet shoulders and fon-
 dle him and cry And stroke his curly whiskers, but he never winked an eye. hE tears or moans, So she went>and told her daddy, told
 the ancient Davy Jones; Old Davy damned his eyesight and
 puzzled up his wits, Then whistled up his hurricane and ' tore the brig to bits. Down on the ocean-bed, green fath- z oms deep Where the wrecks lie rotting and E great sea-serpents creep. In gleaming grotto all built of sail '. ,ors' bones, ] Sits the handsome figure-head, listen f ing to Miss Jones. Songs of love she sings him the live s long day, And she hangs upon his bosom and sobs the night away, Hut he never answers for beneath his
 soldier paint The wooden-headed 1unhtic still
 thinks that he's saint.

T. B. writes: T have been keeping company some time with a young man who is to respond to the call whenever word is given. Alone, he properly re- frains from kissing. Is not given to compliments and fattery. Think he's manly. I am distant. Do I treat him right? Puzzled, should we keep up devoted correspondence? All admire his gallant way. If girl is not sure of his true liking for her or her own mind either, is she to show partiality for that one only?"
