A WORD TO VOTERS.
Judge Tyler Asks Them to Ask
Themselves a Question.

Having heard the speeches in sup
port of the Perry bill and listened
to personal appeals to vote for it
tomorrow, and being about to east
your votes, you will do well to ask
yourselves this question:
Why should we turn down a law
that has done well for Brattleboro,
for Windham county and for the
whole state, and vote for a pro-
hibitory law the like of which, after
so years trial-during which it was
amended, improved, groomed, pol
ished and made as perfect a prohibi-
tory law as could be made-was re-
pealed because it was a notorious
failure2

Special Envoy Back from
Abroad Had Long Con-
ference with President
UNWILLING TO MAKE
A PUBLIC STATEMENT

He Told the President IN Detail About
the State of Public Sentiment in the
Belhgerent Countries and Praised
Our Diplomatists.
WASHINGTON, March 6. - COL E.
NJ House, who returned from Europe
yesterday after visiting Berlin, Lon
don and Paris as a special envoy of
President Wilson, conferred with the
President today and told him of the
result of his mission.
He plans to remain here until to-
morrow and then go to New York.
Col. House today parried questions as
to the status of the armed ship CON
troversy with the statement that those
in Washington know more about the
subject than he did.
He absolutely refused to discuss any
pending diplomatic questions.
When Col House returned from his
previous trip to Europe as the Presi-
dent s personal envoy he consented
to be quoted as saying that President
Wilson was the likely man to restore
peace in Europe.
Today he would not consent to re-
peat lue SldleIueuls saying I1aI He
desired to make no comment what
ever on the foreign situation.
Col. House said he expected to see
members of the cabinet and some
personal friends before leaving fol
| New York.
When Col. House left for Europe re
ports were persistent that he went
| abroad to investigate the peace situa
ton, but that was denied by botl
President Wilson and Secretary Lans
ing.
It Mas-n understood today that Col
House expressed great admiration fo1
the way American diplomatists abroaC
were carrying on their work. He tolt
| the President in detail about the stat
of public sentiment in Germany
France and England and is under
stood to have had much to say on tn
feeling in Germany in support of tn
| submarine policy.

WHY SWAP?
Lincoln's Advice Applicable to the
Present Situation.

Lincoln once said that it was un-
safe to swap horses when crossing
a stream | think his warning is
very applicable at the present time;
that the anti-saloon boat drawn by
the local option team has made
creditable progress toward the entire
abolition of the liquor traffic in Yer
mont, statistics prove and candid
persons will admit. Then why swap
the horses now, when we are nearly
across for a team that once proved
failure and may again?

1t is a well-established fact that
the mines of the Goldfield district
contain vast tonnage of low and
medium grade ore for the success
full treatment of which there have
been no facilities in the past, since
the presence of copper in this ore
has precluded it's treatment in ar
economical manner with the only
processes employed heretofore in
local reduction plants. The flota-
tion process is designed to overcome
the difficulties encountered in the
treatment of base ores and the ex-
haustive tests that have been made
with such ores from various points
in the Goldfield district have con-
vinoed experts and metallurgists
that the process will prove entirely
successful here.
While the recent severe storms
have caused some delay in the de-
livery of cars for the shipment Of
ore. there has been no damage to
property and no interruption to un-

number of points the development
work appears to be nearing the
point where important results may
reasonably be expected. The in
cease in the price of copper is hav-
ing a beneficial effect on the pro-
ducing companies of the district, as
all the shipping ore contains large
proportion OF copper and the cop
er-bearing ore is coming in in con-
stantly inceasing volume with de-
veloment on deep levels.

The Consolidated mill is treating
the usual large tonnage Of ore, av-
eraging in December approximately
1850 tons daily. The December re-
port, published in full in this issue
of the Goldfield News and Weekly

exceedingly good grade is being
mined in the Red Top claim, at a
point 700 feet north of the old Red
Top shaft and on the 260-foot level
At one point here the drift on the

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR PAY ORE
IN GROUND NEAR RICH
LEASES

TIE Florence Goldfield company
under the direction of Superintead-

ed development at two new points
that are believed to possess import
ant possibilities for opening de-
posits of pay ore. One of these
is in the extreme northern part
of the Florence claim, Eear the
boundaries of the Combination
fraction and the Combination group
of the Goldfield Consolidated. wnlle
the other is at the southern enc

GOOD ORE SHOWN
IN THE kEWANAS
EXCELLENT MILLING PRODUCT
FOUND NEAR FOOT-WALL
OF VEIN

The latest development of inter-
est in the property of the Reorgan-
lied Kewanas company Is the dis
covery of a body of ore assaying
around SIG per ton and apparently
of considerable magnitude. This
ore was penetrated by west cross
cut from the north drift on the $40
foot level, at a point nearly 500
feet north of the main working sta
ton, which is at the bottom of the
winze sunk from the 700-foot level
cross-cut from the Laguna shaft. The
orebody was exposed only recently
and the full significance of the find
has not yet been determined.
For a distance of nearly 400 fest
the north drift has shown ore con-
tinuously of varying grade, a large
part of which can be treated profit
ably by flotation and some of which
will probably bear the cost of ship
ping to smelters All of this ore
contains copper in greater or less
quantity. ~.
The ore varies also. in width,
from two and one-half to over five
feet, and at number of points
promises to supply valuable pro-
duction in stopping. The ore has
thus far been developed only by this
drift and has not been explored be-
yond this level by raises or wines
The north drift will be continued
along the shale, which it has ex
posed.

NEW JERSEY MINES co.
OFFERS ENCOURAGEMENT

In the eastern-central part of the
Goldfield district, the New Jersey
Mines company, under the manage
ment of Harry Ernest. is developing
it's Exchequer property and has ex-
posed some ore of good grade on
the 400 and 500-foot levels. On
the former level a strong seam OF
ore was found some time ago that
yielded assays up to $50 per ton,
while on the E00-foot level large
body of good milling ore was re-
vealed. 1t is the plan of Manager
Ernest to continue development on
the two levels and to raise on the
ore from both levels.

Herman Zadig, president of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Minlag
Coml.alv and a vteran Comsto *
mining naD fe,s had selt to God
field Il sample OF the core from
Calix drill, obtained in deep boring
on the Comstock lode. The core IS
six inches in diameter AID illus
trates the manner in which ground
through which the drill passes can
he thoroughly sampled for metals.
The Silver Pick company has order
ed one of these drills, with six
inch core. to prospect it's ground
at great denth, and the boring ap-
paratus will be in operation this
month
Many good authorities regard the
introduction here of this drilling oD-
Grafton as of the greatest pote"
tial Importance to the Goldfield dis
trict, since the drill has prove1
successful. both in point of depth
capacity and in rapidity aid econ
omy of operation.
Mr.. Zadig has had experience with
this type of drill on the Comstock
and elsewhere and is of the opin-'
ion that other Goldfield mining
compaties will, when their officers
sea what the apparatus will ar
complish, install these drills for
the thorough prospecting or their
properties at great deDth. The new
drill will probably start boring rori
the 700-foot level of the mine.

Results obtained in recent de-

courage the belief that a substa.--
tial production of shipping ore VIII
be made, from the deepest point
in the Goldfield district at which
ore of commercial grade has been
exposed, except on deeper lev
els of the same mine. Several
working faces have shown marked
improvement of late, but the most
notable improvement is in the prn-
cipal stope that has been opened
frcul the 15SO-foot level. Man.
ager D'Arcy's records show that
the latest sampling of the face
of this stope showed ore assayi1S
S15S per ton, for width of four
aid one half feet.
The quantity of ore of this grade
has not yet been determined. but
consistent improvement in the
quality of the ore has been showi
in advancing the stope and the
character of the vein supports the
belief that large tonnage of high
ly pco:ilaple ore will be developed
here. This ore-shoot has not been
explored OH other levels and the
discovery of ore of this character
opens important possibilities in vir-
gin territory above and below the
15S0-foot point.

The time is fast approaching when
the fiotation process will be in op-
Grafton in Goldfield, on a CONNER
cial scale, and the influence of its
introduction into this district upon
the future of mining here will be
determined. The two plants, now
under construction, will afford a
most thorough test of the efficacy
of the process in the treatment of
Goldfield ores, as in one case, that
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
