The Sylvia had anchored Off tho capes

to help get under way there was a no

APPEARANCE Of THE MIDWAY
MINE SINCE THE RECENT STRIKE

A visit to the Midway may result
in the correction of certain misap-
prehensions that have existed regard
ing that remarkable property. The
vein is not less than 100 feet in
width and has a due easterly and
westerly trend. 1t is quartz through
out, but the values are too lean in
the gangue formation to be termed
ore. A crosscut was run southerly
from the shaft at the 800 foot point
and it cut the formation from the
Montana breccia on the hanging to
the West End rhyolite on the foot.
At point approx imately in the
center of the ledge drift was
started westward and one eastward.
The easterly drift is being advanced
as rapidly as possible to connect with
the workings from the old Midway
shaft in order to provide the air that
is so sadly needed in a property that
has but one outlet to the surface
The connection will be made in three
weeks or month. Air is pumped
from the surface through ten inch
pipe and the water Leyners keep the
dust down. AS soon, however, as the
air connection is made, which is
also provision for safety first
the superintendent will take steps to
develop number of ore bodies that
were cut and passed in the linear
workings.
A drift has been sent westwardly
from the shaft, following nearly the
center of the ledge. 1t has cut nearly
a score of breaks, all of which trend
northwesterly and southeasterly. II
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1916-09-20

is on these breaks that the ore is
formed, in places few inches and
in others several feet in width. No
attempt has been made to follow
these ore bodies on their trend, which
would lead them to the walls of the
silica formation, probably sixty or
seventy feet in either direction on
the bias" The intent has been to
drift on westerly through the vast
territory that remains to be explored
and continue to cut the breaks until
the air connection is made, after
which angle drifts from the main
drifts will be run and the ore Will
be extracted. raises being put up at
favorable points and stopping under
taken wherever it may be justified
The latest break to be encountered
in the west drift is the best yet
found in the new workings. The
writer would estimate it worth from
500 to $500 a ton, with the general
value near the former figure except
for the enrichment received from the
rich seams The latter contain ruby
In abundance. as well as stephanite,
argentite and polybasite, the latter
being almost metallic. The gold
values are in excellent proportion.
A rumor sent broadcast that the
vein had pinched out to the west
ward was because the course of the
drift was not changed. while the ore
merely veered out to the northwest
A raise has been put up on ii shor
distance and the values are con
tinuous

run to the next break and meanwhile
will forward to mill the ore that has
been broken down, which will amount
to about two carloads. 1t will prove
of better than the average milling
ore in the camp and could be sorted
up to very high grade, but the fines
will all be preserved and this will
serve to cut down the genral average,
although it will add to the total Of
the output.
By the time the air connection is
made the mine will be opened up
along the break lines, and there is
every. reason to believe the tonnage
output will be steady.
The Midway does not rely entirely
upon its showing on the eighth level.
II has a crosscut well advanced on
the eleventh level, but has suspended
operations there in order to divert all
the air to the workings on the 800.
On the 1900 it encountered an ex.
cellent vein when it was driven out
by water, but the Victor operations
have dewatered this level and work
will be resumed there in about q
month The ore bin was completed

PRODUCTION OF WHITE GAPS

That Cold of Yours,

Colds are now known to be due to
a germ When We get a cold it means
that the cold microbes have gotten in
to our nose and throat and have found
a suitable place in which to grow and
multiply in the mucus which is given
off by these tissues.
When our body is in prime physical
condition this mucous covering of the
nasal membranes does not afford the
germs a suitable food and harbor for
development.
In other words. the normally resist
ant membranes of the nose and throat
have the power to destroy these and
other kinds of germs, before they &C

was all Harry was beginning to grow

1t must have been three weeks after

to find the girl waiting for him when
he entered his office.

could pull this tooth for me without
hurting very much
A couple of minutes later she was
seated in his chair, looking up at him
wide eyes expressive of fear and APP
prehension. Harry's hand shook as
he took the foreeps in it.
A quick investigation had showed
him that the tooth must come out.
The gum was intiamed, and there was
danger of an liberated jaw. And yet,
in spite of his desire to alleviate pain,
the young man could hardly bring him
self to that act of sacrilege.
He nerved himself with a strong
effort. clasped the points of the forceps
about the tooth and pulled. A jerk,
a wrench, and all was over He was
holding a glass of water to her lips
And then came the discovery, 1t
came as a new spasm Of pain crossed
the girls face He saw the look OF
anger in her eyes, A glance convicted
him.
Harry Keene in his agitation had
pulled the wrong tooth
She took the mirror from his help

was still there 1t was the tooth next
