GOOD GRADE
SPECIAL to The Tribune

SPECIAL to The Tribune
ROCHESTER,, New, May 31-The
Rochester Merger Mines company
has prepared a two-carload ship
ment of ore which is expected to
run not less than 800 per ton
and will send it out during the
coming week. This ore comes
from the shaft on the Sunflower
claim in which a vein three and a
half feet wide has been driftcd
upon for a distance of so feet.
The drift will be extended
and further depth will be attained
as rapidly as work can be carried
on.
The vein as well as seven
others considered to be equally as
good, will be undercut at a depth
OF 700 feet or more by running the
drift being extended south from
the Friedman tunnel at the 955-
foot point still further south, or
a distance of about 1000 feet. where
it will Ire under the ridge top. The
ore will then be dropped to the
tunnel level instead Of being hoist
ed.
The raise is still in the high grade
ore and is being pushed ahead
rapidly, daily exposing an increasing
tonnage of this rich material.
This is in what is known as Block
No. 8, vein No. 4, being the same
ore-shoot that is extensively open
cd in the Ferry-Sampson workings
from the surface
The deal whereby Reno and
Pacific coast capitalists purchased
the holdings of w. C.. Pitt in the
Rochester Merger company is re
sponsible for the comprehensive
plan of development work already
started. The consideration of ne
deal is lCt given u lut it was
a considerable sum and enabled
Mr.. Pitt to clean On a handsome
profit from his orig'r ! investment,

ownership stock and Cannot re
taken Oh until the e1biration Of

INCREASED EXTRACTION OF ORE
FROM Mines OF COMST0LK LODE

a gross value of over $4,000.
The Ophir on the $500 level, has
cleaned out the main north lateral
drift from the incline station 20
the 620-foot point and on the 2400
level, the southwest drift from the
winze station was cleaned out and
repaired for 100 feet, and a blower
was installed. On the 200 lev
ell, the north drift was extended
IA feet to the 100-foot point, and
the face is all in quartz, giving
fair assays.
The Consolidated Virginia
south drift was advanced to the
123-foot point, and the vein co1-
tinues the full width of the drift and
shows quartz coming in to quite an
extent.
The Sierra Nevada, on the $500
level, advanced the south drift No.
2 from the west crosscut and the
face shows quartz, having an aver
age assay value of $12 per ton.
The winze in No. / stope was
sunk and timbered three feet; total
depth, 81 feet. The bottom is in
quartz giving fair assays.
The Andes is sampling the old
workings neal the shaft, and saved
eight cars of ore from the inter
mediate level.
The joint west crosscut Of the
Alpha and Exchequer companies
was advanced five feet for the
week, through hard quartz.

SPRAGUE THINKS
OATMAN IS GOOD
coInE1EID OPERATOR FIX
PRESSES CONFIDENCE IN BIG
ARIZONA DISTRICT

Charles s. Sprague, president oil
the Oatman United Mines company
was in camp this week, after an
absence of a month or more says
the Oatman Miner. Mr.. Srague Is
at the head of six going mining en-
terprises, among which is the jun
bo Extension of Goldfield. On this
trip Mr.. Sprague was accompanied
by ]. X. Turner, his engineer; q.
p. Campbell, secretary and treas
urer of the Oatman United, n
Messers. Andreas and Keelyn, large
stockholders.
Mr.. Sprague expressed himself
as greatly pleased with the steady
progress shown on every hand In
the development of the camp and
predicted that within 60 days there
will have been at least a dozen
properties entitled to rank as mines.
The vast mineralized area and the
none and ability employed in it's
development will make Of Oatman
the greatest gold-producing dis
trict on the continent.
81 observe a feeling of depres-
SIGN about the camp" said Mr..
Sprague, "but l also notice that
it is confined to stock circles. This
is u~nwarranted. To be sure, the
stock market is not as active as
we would like to see it, but fun
damentally the fluctuation of
stock prices has little to do with
the making of the district. The
main thing is the development of
the mines, and it is gratifying to
observe that there is more work
going on than at any other
time in the camps history. All
the properties at work six months
ago are still at work and scores of
going enterprises have been added
to the list. This condition is
bound to make a camp, and too, it
is bound to make a stock market.
The latter will come in time. There
will be plenty of buyers for stocks
when once they are found to have
substantial merit. If the meri-
torious stocks are now selling be-
low their worth, it is because the
country has been swamped with
Oatman flotations and many of them
have not yet had time to prove
their merit. We will see the stock
market respond to developments.
Regarding the property in which
I am interested, the Oatman United
Mines company, I would say that
for the time we are more con-
cerned with e%quipping our prop
erty and planning and carrying out
extensive development than in max
ing a market for the stock. We
have been successful in financing
our treasury, which has permitted
up to equip our property with a
superb plant, only a part of which
has arrived on the ground, but
which is in transit.
"And finally I would say, there
is no reason for Encouragement in
this district. On the other hand.
there is reason at every hand for
optimism and although the east
may be a little slow in taking
held, when the merits of the dis
trlct and the sincerity Of our OPP
eraticns become better known,
'here will be plenty of money for
every purpose"

Warehouse for Minden

The contract has been let tot
the erection of a large brick ware
house by the Minden Wool Ware

cost 100000 and the Ward broth
ers of Reno obtained the con
tract. 1t will be one of the first
buildings of its kind in the state
and other products beside wool
will be stored in it. Douglas

AMERICAN SCHOOLS
INFERIOR, He SAYS
THE WHOLE TRUTH NOT FLAT
TERING TO OUR REP
UTATTON

The nationwide appeal for funds
for the relief of the innocent suf-
feIers by the war in Europe and
Asia issued by the federal council
of the churches of Christ in Amer
lea contains a statement OF the
facts in regard to the American ef-
forts at relief which shows that
they contrast poorly with those OF
other nations. 1t says in part:
The Belgian minister of finance
stated recently that our country has
given 100000 directly to Bel
GUM. In other words only seven
cents per capita; while New Zeal
and, bearing it's own war burdens,
has given $1.25 per capita to Bel
gian relief. England, staggering
Under the war load, has received
and cared for thousands of Belgian
refugees, and given millions OF
pounds beside.
1t was thought that the United
States, the only great nation IN
touched by the war, might fur
risn the food supplies for Belgium,
5ut the commission vas Obliged
to ask for food from the whole
world TO save Belgium from star
vation. 1t must be remembered
also that the gifts to Belgium from
our country include large contri-
buttons from philanthropic founda-
tions, so that the total of popular
contributions is smaller than il
appears.
The American Serbian relief
committee has raised about $780,
900, the British serbian commit
tee three months ago had raised
$7,50O,0O0 and France 100000.
To the Armenians we have Civ
en- about 81 for each sufferer, COW
ering the entire period, and this
is largely money from two OF
three large givers.
This is a fair indication of the
way wal relief is being contribu-
ted in other countries beside in
America. 1t should be said that
the Jews Of America have givcn
in aid of their people generously.
In answer to inquiries, an off
Ger of the Belgian relief commit
tee reports that the total money
gifts from this country to April J,
1915 to all of tho war sufferers was
$23,740,342. Since these gifts were
compiled, the Belgian commission
alone has received somewhere
around $125,O 600 through the Ell
forts of the Daughters of the
American Revolution in celebration
of King Albert's birthday. OF
course the sums mentioned do not
include the vast amount of WORK
performed by different societies and
organizations, who devote a great
amount of time to providing all sorts
OF surgical necessities. No price
has ever been put on this material
1t is merely shipped to n of the
allied countries.
