MINE
AT GOLCONDA

S. B. Kasper, owner of the Bull
Con Caroline copper property, sit
uated a few miles east of Golconda,
ID in town tr%ansacting business.
This old property, located last year
by Kasper after it had been long
abandoned, is producing ore that
runs from 5 to Is per cent COP
per and steady shipments are be-
ing made that net the owner a
handsome profit.
The orebody, it seems, had been
missed by the forr-er owners, whose
tunnel had passed under the ledge,

as work progressed. Mr.. Kasper
says he now has a face of solid
ore 10 feet high and 20 feet wide
that will average a little better than
) per cent. Ore is being broken
down and shipped at the rate OF
two carloads a week. He has al
ready shipped $50 tons. Kasper
Melted $40O on one carload ship

High Price for Wool

The Steptoe Land and Livestock
company and the Ok Yoke company
of Wells recently disposed of their
Lake. The sale represents the feec-
es from 10000 head of sheep and
is stimated at 100000 pounds, Or
eight pounds to the sheep, and the
price was 25 cents per pound. This
is the highest price paid for a sin
gle clip in eastern Nevada and is
only exceeded by one or two recent
instances in the western part of
the state.

PROSPECT BY
MOTOR TRUCK

Harry Gregg, who. with DR.. Gun
ningham and others of Tonopah, has
located some promising claims in
the north end of Death valley, has
left for that section with Mrs.
Gregg. They will make the trip in
an auto truck and expect to be gone
for two months. Mr.. Gregg, who is
a prospector of many years expert
ence, will thoroughly prospect the
district in which he and his as
s~ociates are interested.
Several weeks g DR.. Cunning
Ram and Gregg were driven to the
Death valley country by William
Collins, and several locations were
made. From their ground they
have secured sulphur, mOlybdenum
and potash. Just how we'll the lat
ter runs has not been determined.
The Tonopah men brought back

some for molybydenum and some
for gold and silver. They found, on
their trip. a small stream containing
water of very strong cathartic eff
fects. Other creeks discovered con-
tanned highly mineralized waters.
The northern end of Death valley.
where the Tonopah men expect to
make their fortunes, is reached via
Ida, and about three days are re-
Quired to make the round trip by

The ore now being handled is

and hanging wall of the great vein

arv. The hanging wall drift, as
indicated, has reached the side-lin(
of the Velvet claim, showing ina
he great lode, which is from SO TO
100 feet wide in this territory. ex-
tends directly into the Jumbo Jun
ior's ground and comes in contact
with the shale in this territory.
Physical conditions here are
identical with those farther south IN
the Velvet claim of the Jumbo Ex-
tension. where one of the most val
liable orebodies ever found in the
district was exposed at the point
where the big vein comes in con-
tact with the shale. At the latter
point two parallel ore-channels were
found; one extending along the sur
face of the shale and the other, un-
deriving the first, in the form or
a great fissure within the shale. All
indications point to a similar con-
dition in Jumbo Junior ground, al
though the presence of high-grade
ore remains to be established.
Results obtained in exploring the
big vein in Jumbo Extension terri
tory, 100 feet above the shale and
north of the Velvet shaft, serve to
encourage confidence in the future
of Jumbo Junior, as ore of good
grade has been exposed in the vein
at this depth and at a point where
TIE dip of the vein is directly into
Junior territory. The hanging wall
drift on the S90-foot level will be
continued and from it cross-cuts will
be driven to the foot-wall to ex-
plore the ore-bearing channel. With
this work in progress, Jumbo Junior
becomes a strong candidate for a
place in the front rank of Goldfield
mining enterprises. Perpetual i'm
munity from apex disputes is assur-
ed and operating expenses will be
relatively small.

TONOPAR MINING
MEN ORGANIZE
WE'RE FIRST TO RECOGNIZE
VALUE OF PROPERTY AT
ROCHESTER,

The activity and strength display
ed recently by Rochester Merger is
of especial interest, .inasmuch as it
is practically a Tonopah corpora
ton, a portion of the ground at
one time, before any considerable
amount of development was done,
having been under option, or at
least examination, by the Tonopah
Belmont Development company.
The worth of this security is most
largely due to the efforts of c. II.
Mcintosh, a former attorney of To-
nopah. He went into Rochester
when the camp a a pulling infant,
arriving there December 20, 1912.
On that day he purchased 10 claims
and two fractions, all undeveloped
ground. A night letter was sent to
Tonopah demanding that a certain
amount of money be placed in a
bank to his credit and no questions
asked. He said he would explain
later by letter.
Charley Ducheneau got the wire
and he read it right and downside
up and then from left to right and
right to left. Hum" he said, 81
wonder what Bert has up his sleeve
this time, but I'll take a chance"
He mentioned the wire to Jack Nc
Quillan, Eddie Rotholtz, Ernest Do
brosky, T. Fitzgerald, Ross Condor
and several others. Each said they
wanted to get in blind and the re-
suit was that a liberal sum of mon
ey was deposited to Mr.. McIntosh's
checking account before he was out
of bed next morning.
The money was expended in pay
ing for the claims and doing pre-
liminary work. Three companies
were formed, Rochester Belmont
Mining company, Crown Point Ex-
tension Mining company and Origi-
nal Rochester Mines company, the
ground bounding the Rochester Min
ing COMPANY on the north, west and
south.
1t was pretty hard Shedding at
first, money not being obtainable for
silver mine exploitation. Finally
the three companies were united I'M
der the name of the Rochester Mer-
ger Mines Co., and the total cap
italization of $4,000, 900 was reduc-
ed just so per cent.
Eight or rine ronths ago money
for exploitation became available
and a considerable amount of treas
ury stock of rho ciieinal $50, 900
shares was disposed of for develop
ment. 1t all Nent into the ground,

Bridgeport Man Says De- partment Receipts Are
 Double Last Year.
Especial to The Farmer. }

.. Especial to The Farmer)
 Hartford, Mar. 4.-Beginning thus week the new licenses for the year for operators of motor vehicles went into effect. The number of licenses which have been issued by the auto mobile department, indicates a large increase over the number of last year. There were issued, up to Februry 29 22,5OO operators licenses. For the period of last year the number was 8,512. On this basis Arthur F. Con- nor, chief clerk in the automob de- pertinent, thinks there will be 75,OOO operators licenses in force in this state by the close of the present fiscal year in September. The entire num- Der last year was 53,O0O. The in crease in the receipts was also note worthy. They amounted to $54,- 75o.95 for February or nearly twice the amount for the corresponding month of the previous year.
 It has been noticed, tht notwith- standing the large increase in the number of licenses issued, the crowds at the office of the automobile de- partrhent for licenses were smaller than those that thronged the corri- dors of the capitol in February, 1915. This was due to the fact that the renewal of licenses were sent out earlier than last year and operators made their appliations earlier. By this arrangement a rush at the clos ing days for the issuing of licenses was avoided.

SITUATION AT YERDUN Is SATISFACTORY, SAYS
 FRENCH WAR MINISTER

Paris, March 4-GeneraI Galleni
 minister of war, has told the commis- sion on military affairs of the chamber of deputies that he is satisfied with the situation at Verdun. He gave de- tails of the reserves of men and stocks of ammunition now available. Milf tary writers say that it was in keep ing with all the precedents that the Germans should attempt to reduce the salient of Douaumont plateau for this key position must be taken before solid progress could be made else where. The attack began after a long preliminary bombardment on We'd nesday. German columns started to depIoy from Hardaumont Wood on the right and at the same time a di- vision advanced on the village of Vaux. The latter attack failed with heavy losses to the Germans.
 The French artillery fire was so fierce that evening that the Germans were unable to push the attack on any point of the Douaumont plateau-They profited in the night, however, and brought up masses of reserves and the fighting began with renewed force on Thursday. During the morning and the afternoon three desperate on- slaughts were made by Pomeranian and Brandenburg regiments.
 In the first and second attacks the aSsa11antS, who fought with great bravery, reached the French barbed wire but so fierce was the hail of bull lets from the machine guns and rifles
