ReOrganized Cracker Jack

Operations OF the Cracker a.
company have been conducted on a
substantial scale, with excellent
tity of good milling ore has been
opened on and above the 12O-foot
level. More recently the company's
efforts have been directed to work
at greater depth and upon cleaning
out and retimbering the main shaft
and workings to a depth of 800
feet, the east cross-cut has been adj
vanced and is expected shortly to
penetrate the main Columbia Noun
tain fault vein, which has produced
vast quantities of bonanza ore
farther to the south. The Cracker
Jack has afforded one of the con-
spicuOus examples of the success
achieved in reorganizing inactive
companies on the assessable basis.
Grandma Consolidated
Upon completing it's reorganiza-
ton during the year, the Grandma
company proceeded to sink a new
working shaft, lea the center of
it's property and this shaft is expect
ed to penetrate the main lode with
in a very short time. Prospects of
finding pay ore here are regarded as
excellent, as rich ore was exposed
by lessees in ground a short dis
lance to the south and in the same
vein. The company, during the
year, acquired the adjoining Sun
rise group of claims, giving it a large
area that is traversed by veins of
good promise.
DiamOndfield Black Butte
The Black Butte company some
time ago acquired control of the
Orizaba property, situated about 40
miles northwest of Tonopah, and
has made preparations to start a Wig
orous campaign of work Immediate
ly after the first of the new year.
when the new directorate will as
sumo office. The OriZaba mine has
produced a large quantity of rich
silver ore from shallow workings
and the new work will be designed
to open at depth the orebodies ex,
posed on the deepest levels. The
property has been examined and SAM
pied by a number of expert author
tiles, all of whom pronounce it to
be one of the richest silver mines
of which they have knowledge. The
Diamondtield property is in good
shape and has lately shipped some
ore of high grade. A core drilling
outfit has been installed and will
be used to prospect at great depth.
Spearhead Gold
The Spearhead company's efforts
have been devoted to sinking the
main shaft to reach the shale contact
zone, and this point was reach
ed in December. Here a wide zone
of quartz of good appearance has
been exposed and the shaft has
progressed in quartz for over 20
feet. Some encouraging ASSAYS
We're obtained from seams cut at
the hanging wall.
Jumbo Junior Company
Starting it's development work
during the summer, the Jumbo Jun
ior, working through the Velvet
shaft of the adjoining Jumbo Elk
tension, has developed one of the
most interesting geological condi-
lions to be found in the district.
Extending the east drift on the $50
foot level, a large ore-shoot was ex-

1t was reported in Washington
that David F. Houston of Missouri,
secretary of agriculture, would leave
the cabinet, and belief was wide
spread that Mr.. Houston would re-
sumo the position of chancellor of
Washington university of st. Louis.
When he left the university to be-
come secretary of agriculture he
received a four year leave of alb
ence, and the office of chancellor
has not been filled. Well informed
men in Washington asserted that
the president was considering Ed
win Thomas Meredith of Des MOines.
Ia, for Mr.. Houston's portfolio.
Mr.. Meredith is an Iowa man by
birth and is forty years old. He
is the publisher of a farm paper
and also a bank director.

GREAT BEND CUTS VEIN
WITH NEW CROSS-CUT

Conditions in the Great Pend
mine are pronounced satisfactory by
the management and a new .oss-
cut, some distance above the main
300-foot level, has penetrated the
vein and exposed good ore. A num-
Der of shipments have been made,
the product yielding an excellent
profit, and development is Being
conducted on a broad scale.

LESSEES MAKE A STRIKE

G.. A. (Big) Roberts and Nick
Vico have made an important strike
in their lease on the 400 level of
the Midway, northwest of the old
shaft. The ledge is an absolutely
new one and is eight feet wide.
Six feet is being broken down. Nine
ty tons have already been taken
out. The ore is heavy with ruby
and argentite.-BonanZa.

posed, yielding assays from SIS to
$50 per ton, and a Wine sunk from
this drift has penetrated the shale
contact zone and has been showing
many seams of high-grade material.
This ore appears to continue in full
strength into the adjoining Ke-
wanas property.
Work has continued without inter-
ruption on the Blue Bull property
and a new vein was found late IN
the year, at a depth of 700 feet.
The Lone Star Consolidated, after
performing some good work, was
closed down temporarily and it is
reported that work will be resumed
shortly. The Red Hill Mining
company and the Florence American
company were merged recently and
under the name of the Red Hill
Florence company will soon begin
development on a broad scale, while
several other companies that have
long been idle are planning an early
resumption.

BLUE BULLS NEW VEIN

Development work continues i'll

the Blue Bull, by the east cross-cut
on the 70O-foot level. TIE. vein
shows quantities of quartz of good
appearance, yielding low assays n

SILVER PICK AFFORDS
MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT

The west cross-cut on the 11OO-ft.
tended 100 feet and continues to
show seams of pay material. The
east cross-cut, after being extended

time being. Preparations are being

A.. Alworth of Yerington, who went
to Reno on Nov. IA and registered
q, the Golden hotel, has been miss
ing for a month. He visited his
mother in Yerington on Nov. II,
then returned to Reno, where he
paid his hotel bill and presumably
left for Warland, Wyo., where he
was employed as cashier in the

A Poor Pill
w. F. Hancock of Las Vegas,

ticket on which the remains we're
to have been shipped, presumably
to get a rebate to spend for more
booze. The body was left with the
unpaid undertaken and was finally
shipped after the relatives had again
wired transportation.
Snoring Causes Trouble
Snoring in the presence of guests
whom they had entertained at din
ner was one of the humiliating
faults attributed to her husband,
Maurice Deiches, by Helen Levy
Deiches. a prominent and attrac-
tive New York society matron, in
her suit for divorce which was
heard behind closed doors at Reno.
The complaint stated hat when she
found that the noises emitted by
her husband as a by-product of his
slumbers attracted the attention of
the guests she would wake him in

shower her with verbal abuse.
