A Baseless Charge Adequately Answered
CFporn the New York SUM-

Mr.. Wilson has found It advisable
TO charge Charles f. Hughes and the
Republican party with the intention
OF bringing the United States into
war. This is part of the process of
putting the punch" into his cam
paign and in carrying It out he said
on Saturday to the pilgrims assem-
bled Mt Shadow Lawn:
Am not right that we must
draw the conclusion that II the Re
publican party is put into power at
the next election our foreign policy
will be radically changed? cannot
draw any other inference. All our
present foreign policy Is wrong, they
say, and u 1t Is wrong and they are
men OF conscience they must change
II; and II they are going to change
u. In what direction are they going
TO change II?

European war. and that to the south
of us the force Of the United States
VIII be used to produce IN Mexico
the kind Of law and order which some
American investors in Mexico consid-
or most to their advantage"
Although he had anticipated some
such uttcrance. Charles T.. Hughes in
his speech accepting the Republican
nomination answered this typIcally
Wilsonian argument on July IL
when he said:
1T is great mistake to saw that
resolutencss in protecting American
rights would have Tod to war. Rather
In that course lay the best assurance
Of peace. Weakness and INDIGESTION
in the maintenance Of known rights
are always sources Of grave danger:
they forfeit respect and invite serious
wrongs. which in turn create an un-
controllahle popular resentment.

further, "A very great body of the sun

all due allowance for Mr.. Wilson'S

the American people disapprove Of his
administration, it is still appalling to
see the chief executive uf the United
States seeking to further his political
fortunes by such bald misstatements
OF fact, statements which no one of
his intelligence can fail to appreciate
are absolutely contadictory Of the
truth. MIR. Wilson's reference 10 "a

On blocks of ore 100 it. high. The block is divided into a lower and an upper 50 it. The lower half is mined as 1 have described and then filled with waste. The upper half is then mined out, starting at the back and working down to the gob.
 In order to use this system the ore body should be of large enough size: not too heavy and preferably free from horses of waste. It cannot be compared in costs with systems re- quiring no timber, but it is consider ably cheaper than square-setting. In comparing the costs e- slicing and square-setting in a number of cases Of similar ground, the cost of labor In slicing was 65 per cent of the cost in square-setting, timber 72 per cent and air per cent Besides being cheaper. this method has the advan- tage that a small block of ground can be made to produce s large ton mage in short time after slicing has been started Nearly all the holes drilled are down holes on which a "plugger" drill can be used, and there is practically no mucking except at the last stages.

 serve as the working ways of the stope, affording 10th manways ana chutes. Slides of Pin. timber are placed in the gangway sets so that all the ore of the slice from any part oi the slides, will run into a chute with out any mucking. Usually the gang way sets are connected with a per manent raise, on waste, which is used as a manway and timbering into the slice.
 As the ore is mined out in slices by contiguous drifts, 4X10-in. sills are laid across the section, about 1t. center to center between the props, in the same manner as with the sills at the top of the stope. A Pin. board floor is likewise laid on these. The ground is allowed to cave to within 15 to 20 it. of the working face as it moves across the slice from one side to the other. Just enough props are used to keep the back safe for this distance from the face. When the whole slice has been taken out across one section, the props are shot down, in case they have not already come down, and the capping is allowed to cave. Often it is hard ro make the capping fall on starting a slice, but once it has started to cave, the ground often caves, fol- lowing the working face at 15 to 20 it., as fast as the slice can be worked.
 After the ground above has settled, a slice is taken out beiow in the same manner as before, except that the slice slide in the case is 15 fl. long and the slice is fit. high. With this longer slide more of the ore vii fall into the chutes without mucking. Dn the completion ot each slice the back is caved and a new one is start ed until the bottom of the ore is reached. In case the bottom of the ore extends beiow one haulage level, raises are run up from the level be- low and slieing is continued of the gangway sets as before. The distin- gushing features of this system are the slides and gangways. The slides Islice slides) extend the whole length of the section and eliminate the larg- est part of the mucking. 1t is rarely necessary for a machine to be set up fn the gangway or in the horizontal part of the extraction drift. The ore runs of these slice slides on to a grizzly in the gangway and thence onto chute slides and into the chutes, from which it is loaded into cars. AS the gangway sets are the working ways of the stOpes, it is necessary to protect them from moving and crush sing as the sections on both sides of it are being cayed. Stulls placed or the stope slides are used to take the weight of the ganswaT tiffbers. In case the weight of the capping tends to disturb the gangway sets. the posts of the upper sets are chopped, or dis lodged, in order to take the weight off the sets below. The gangway sets are kept intact during the crushing,

Jerome. Arizona. July 19. 1916.
 JeromePortland uncovers sulphide ore in bottom of shaft A splendid showing has been made in the shaft on the property of the Jerome-PO,t ( land Copper Mining Company. At q depth of about sixty feet stringer of sulphide are was uncovered which caused considerable excitement among the miners. It was a splendid show ing for that depth.
 The electricians completed wiring the transmission line today and the motors were tested out Sometime next week the jack-hammers will be in operation. The stockholders and Sf- ficials of the company are we'll pleased with the work in the shaft and the showing of ore that has been en- countered.

because the top set, in position, does
 not bear any of the weight of the cap ping, and is usually to 10 1t. below
 the horizontal floor, on which most of the weight falls. Bulkheads in
 case of very heavy ground have
 proved to be very satisfactory in pre-
 serving the gangways, in the place of
 stulls. Two of them set up over a
 gangway act as an arch. which takes
 the weight of the gangway timbers
 onto the solid ground.
 In starting this system, as is true
 in starting all new systems of mining,
 the men had to become familiar with 1 their work before the maximum effi- ciency could be realized. The first
 slice was only 1t. high, the same as
 a square set. Finding this to be safe, | the men next took out a 9-ft. slice By this time they understood enough about the ground and how to use the props to the best advantage, so that
 they then tC5k out a 101a-ft. slice, which is the regulation height. The ! higher the slice the longer the slide and the less the mucking. At the start a great many more props were used then were actually needed, but with the experience the men found out they could get along with fewer. All drilling was done with 2l4 in. piston machines on a vertical column. The weight of the capping tended to crush the ore, so that few long holes would break a large round. Several sections touching each other were ad of fl, Ir, ing each 45-ft section, it was divided into two equal parts, one-half being worked from the gangway on one side and the other from the gangway on the opposite side. The day shift worked the north half and the night shift the south half. In this way each crew was made directly responsible for its part of the stope. The produc tion from a single section can be veried at will. If necessary, several contiguous drifts can be driven in the slice at the same time, one advancing ahead of the other. Usually a round can easily be put in in half shift
 In this particular character of soft, heavy ground with rather small lenti- cular-shaped orebodies, this system of slicing and caving proved to be not only satisfactory. but also cheaper than square-setting. It permits a sav- ing in labor, timber, powder and air. The slides minimize the amount of shovling in the stope. Cheaper timber is used and, wherever possible. tim Der is taken out and used again. There is a small saving in powder and air, due to the crushing action of the cap ping. There will undoubtedly be a larger saving in timber and labor as the men become more familiar with the system, now new. So far this method has proved to be as safe as. if not safer than. ordinary square-set mining. Practically no ore is lost and any waste encountered can be thrown on the part of the floor about t5 be caved.
 The orebodies of the Briggs mine consist of series of lenticular mass es of iron and copper sulphides, aver aging from to 15 per cent copper. One of these orebodies is 400 it. long,

! 70 it. wide and extends 30 it. above
 and 40 1t. below the main level. One | side and the bottom of the orebody
 are limestone, while the other side is leached material and pyrite with a capping of siliceous breccia. The physical character of the ore in the | Tense will not permit open stopes. but ; parts of them are favorable for the Mitchell top-stlice system. The ore ! is of fairly uniform grade, contain ing Lo horses of waste. and the back
 of the stope will stand for a short | time with the timbers used.
 Usually. before beginning mining operations, the orebody has been cut by several crosscuts at right angle to each other and several raises to the ! top of the orebody. The Mitchell top slice then is used in four distinct , steps:
 l. The Orebody is blocked out by
 chute crosscut, driven at right angles to a main crosseut and spaced at an average interval of 40 fl. Raises are driven off the main crosscut at 20-ft. intervals to the top of the ore. ?. The orebody is cut into a series of pillars 15 it. thick, by running single rows of lead, or gangway. sets from the first floor of the raises to the edge of the orebody. These are car ried upward to the top of the ore body.
 3. These pillars are mined by over hand stoping, and png stringers are placed between the two adjacent rows of gangway sets to keep up to back and hold the square sets in position.
 f. The space occupied by the pillar is filled with waste, and the adJoin- ing section is the nmined out in the same manner.
 Removing the Pillars.
 The next step consists in mining the pillars by first catching up the back with long stringers and then removing the ore in horizontal sec tions, beginning at the top of the pillar In starting to mine the pillar. a piston machine is set up in the top set in front of the raise. and an extraction drift is driven out about a 30' pitch upward to the center 1f the pillar. where it meets a similar drift driven from the opposite gangway set The broken ore runs down the face of these inclined drifts into the gangway sets and thence to the chutes. A 10x10-in. stringer 14A it. long is then placed next to the back, between the posts of the two opposite gangway sets. Sometimes the top of the pillar at the center is only it. below the stringer. A drift Contigu- ous to the'fir one is run in the same manner, making room for a second stringer. Usually the stringer IS blocked temporarily to the back and pillar in case there is any danger of breaking it while shooting. A slice is thus taken across the whole top of each. pillar, from the raise to the end of the orebody, by running this series of contiguous extraction drifts. The back is caught up with 15-ft. stringers, which extend from one row of gang way sets to the opposite. Two-inch tagging is placed across the stringers. No mucking is necessary, as the ore runs by gravity into the gangway sets

led to the construction of a dama across a drift run from the 500 foot level at a point 160 feet north of the shaft. The road to the property is being built by a force of 75 men. An extra crew has been put at work at the mine end. The new road, al though longer than the old one. will have much less percentage of grade and will make hauling of ore and supplies an easy task.
 Takes Option on Mines.
 The old Sunnyside group of gold mines, II miles southeast of Prescott. has been taken over under option by H. 4. Groom. of Phoenix, who plans to begin operating soon. This group was discovered in the early sos by Enoch Williams and a considerable amount or ore taken out and treated by an arastra. Williams also did placer work in the gulches leading to the vein of the group A tunnel, 3S5 feet long. is already on the property. extending about 40 feet below the surface at a depth where the sulphide zone begins. The Sunnyside vein is traceable on the surface for about a mile, and Groom is confident that it extended to great depth.
 Several Good Strikes.
 Announcement has been made by superintendent William Ellingford. of the Gold Blossom Mining Company. )f the striking of high grade lead silver ore body at a depth of 1S5 feet Sinking will be continued until the 200 foot level is reached, when drift ing will begin. The property of the Gold Blossom Company is situated six miles south of Prescott and was originally patented for farming pur poses.
 One of the biggest strikes in the history of the Walker District was made this week on the old Homestead mine, recently acquired by J. J. Shock ley and associates, carrying a good milling grade in the loose formation The strike was made at depth of 75 feet in the main shaft The Home stead lies in the center of the town of Walker and was first operated in the eos by J. J. Milliken. when its free product was treated by an aras-
 
 when base ores came in which could not. at that time, be propertly treated and, until it's recent re-Opening, the property had lain idle for almost a third of Q century. The strike in the Homestead has encouraged many oth- CT operators in the Walker and ad- iacent districts.
 Extensive exploration and develop ment is being planned on the New State property in the Hasayampa Dis trict. following a strike made several weeks ago. The Elk holdings are to be worked at once. A lSrce of men is now employed in cleaning out and retimbering the old 525 foot tunnel
 The Jerome-Victor Extens. on shaft at Jerome is to be sunk about 500 feet below the present level, 1900 feet, work to start within a few weeks The 700 station has been reached in the property. formerly Known as the Haynes property. and as there is no lateral work below this level. the unwatering will from now on proceed rapidly. After sinking is started. it is expected that the shaft will be put down at the rate of loo feet per month. Only 120 feet of and drifting was done on the 1900 foot level and it is believed that prospecting of the lower levels { on the mine will disclose new leads !! that will change the plan of opera ton.
