And as a Prison Camp 1t is neal
at Hand but Out Of Raid
Danger.


WASHINGTON, Aug. l4,-"Four
Limburgs dot the map Of Europe"
says today's war geography bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety "but the probable location of
the German camp for English pris-
oners, where the execution of two
Irish soldiers created a great stir in
diplomatic circles recently, Is Lin
burg-on-the-Lahn. The other Lin
burgs are: the smallest of the nine
provinces of Belgium; the smallest
province of Holland; and Limburs-on-
the-Lonne, also called FohenIImburg,
OF course. there should be no con-
fusion of these places with the Galician
city which is spelled Lemberg
'Limburg -on-thc-Lahn is one of the
Oldest towns Of Germany. 1t is stu
atcd in the principality Of Hessc-Nas-
sau and is thrty-two miles east OF
the important Rhenish city Of Cob

advantage Of being comparatively near

zone Of the eXasporating features
Of being prisoner in Limburg must
be the recollection 10 many of the
English unfortunatcs that at this very
season of the year in peace times they
we're wont to flock to the famous baths
of Ems, lust twenty miles down the
river. Ems was accustomed TO enter
tanning u. 600 visitors during July and
August. and the sufferers from pulmo-
nary troubles gathered there from all
parts Of Europe and the British Isles
Another interesting town in the vi
cinity of Limburg is Nassau. seven
teen miles to the west l was here
that the great German statesman,
Baron stein. was born and spent his
youth. Stein was largely instrumental
in saving Prussia after Napoleon had
imposed the drastic terms of the
treaty Of Tilsit, for although he had
only a short time before been dis
missed by his sovereign as a rcfrac-
tory. insolent, obstinate and dis
obedicnt official, when the critical
moment arrived the baron was the
pre-eminently strong figure to whom
Frederick William could turn.
During the middle ages Limburg
belonged to the Counts of Lahngau,
but early in the 18th century this
line became extinct and the city
passed under tho jurisdiction Of the
electors of Treves, who governed the
city for nearly 400 years.

SANDSTONE TO

DRIFT Is NOW NEARLY BE-
MEATH OLD BONANZA
LEASE SLOPES

The south drift on the 350-foot
level of the Sandstorm-Ken
Consolidated has reached point
nearly under the old workings of
Tie bonanza Loftus-Davis lease and
b. the middle of the week Manager
darcy will start raise to locate
and determine the position of the ore
shoot below the old lease Slopes.
Although this vein yielded for
tunes in ore of bonanza grade from
shallow workings, it has never been
explored at depth in Sandstorm ter
ritory. Some work was done on
the vein nearer the old shaft, but
nCwhere has there been an attempt
tinuation of ore-shoots that yield
ed large quantities of high grade ore
near the surface.
In the early work here only ore
Of high grade could be mined at u
pioft and when the Slopes failed
to produce ore worth over 800
per ton the work was abandoned.
There are strong hopes of finding
orc of at least good milling grade
in exploring the ground below the
old high-grade Slopes and this
ground will be opened shortly.

GREAT BEND IN
H|GH-GRADE ORE
QUALITY OF ORE NOW
EXPOSED

Development work in the Great
Bend property continues to show
ere of excellent grade, samples
across the face of the new raise,
now up over 40 feet, having re-
turned as high as s96 per ton and
the ore shipped from the drift and
raise averaging over $50 per ton,
as shown by returns from the sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company. More attention is being
given to developing and blocking
out the ore than to shipping.
Interest of the management and
others connected with the company
now centers on the results of work
in the near future at point some
60 feet east of the present face of
the east drift on the 300-foot level.
v hen this point is reached cross
cut Will be driven north to the foo.-
wall SIDE of the vein, which is 40
'rrt wide here, to seek an Cro.-
sect that was exposed in a win ,e
from the 250-foot level of the

The work of the early-day lessees
in this territory was confined to the
foot-wall side and at the time this
rich ore was discovered a heavy

ed a suspension of work here This
ground has now been drained by
the work done under the Spraguc
management and the pumps are
easily handling the water from all
parts of the mine. After starting
the cross-cut for this Orebody, it is
the plan of superintendent Jack
Campbell to continue the east drift
to the boundary line of the Daisy,
near where lessees have lately ex-
tracted ore of shipping grade. The
drift will also pass under the old
workings of the DR.. Lockhart lease,
liz which ore of high grade was eX-
posed just above this level.
Near the main shaft large body
of high-srade milling ore was ex-
posed and has been blocked out BY
raises, drifts and wines for a dis
tance on the vein of 120 feet, a
heighth of over 100 feet and for
an average width of six feet West
OF the shaft some ore of good grade
has been exposed below old work
ings from which lessees extracted
a considerable quantity of good
milling ore Tests have shown that
the Great Bend ore can be treated
successfully by flotation and it is
likely that the comany's mill will

BLUE BULL HAS
GOOD new vein
INDICATIONS ARE FAVORABLE
FOR Paw ORE ON DEEP
EST LEVEL

A new vein of good promise has
been exposed lately in the Blue Bull
property, in driving a cross-cut TO
the east on the 700-foot level and
ct distance of about 700 feet
from the shaft The vein has a
rortherly trend, in common with
other veins exposed on the pro-
perty, and is apparently of consid-
cradle width, as the cross-cut has not
yet exposed the hanging wall.
An increased flow of water, a
short time ago, indicated the ap-
proach to this vein and Manager
Darcy took steps to forestall any
difficulty from water by installing
pumps of sufficient capacity to meet
any requirements that might arise.
The water has shown no marked
increase since the vein was cut and
the new pumps are handling the
flow without trouble and with a
few hours operation daily. Upon
reaching the hangling wall it is the
plan of Manager Darcy to explore
this vein by means of drifts and
raises in a thorough manner, as the
vein is regarded as one of good pro-
mise

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

Developments at several points
in the Goldfield district during the
past week have been of widely rec
ognized Importance, showing con-
crete results for some of the dead
work that has been in progress,
entailing an outlay of much money,
time and patience. AS result of
this expenditure of money and en-
crgy no less than half a dozen
properties are giving promise of en-
tering upon period of substantial
production and profit earning, while
at least three discoveries are re-
garded as having an important bear
ing upon the prospects of adjOin-
ing or adjacent properties. The
results obtained during the past
few weeks not only afford assur-
ance of material increase in the
production of the district, but are
serving to stimulate development
in virgin territory, affording ground
for the hope that new mines will
be brought to the productive stage.
Goldfeld Consolidated
After unexpected delays, owing to
lack of sufficient settling and fill
teing equipment, the flotation plant
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company will be started shortly
with all necessary machinery and
will begin treating ore at its de-
signed capacity of 1000 tons daily.
In the meantime, while awaiting
the arrival of this equipment, the
big plant has been treating about
600 tons daily by cyanidation, the
product being of low grade and
confined to the available ore con-
tanning the smallest quantity of
copper Development work has
been progressing on a broad scale
on the deeper levels and prep
arations are being made to handle
a vast tonnage of the leep-level
ores, which contain copper in larg-
er quantity than the product of the
mines nearer the surface.
