GREAT BEND NOW
RAISING ON ORE
WILL CONNECT WITH OLD
WINE WHERE RICH ORE
WAS FOUND

point has been reached in the
DEVELOPMENT work of the Great Bend
company where results of interest
and possibly of great Importance
may be expected at any time, ac-
cording to the calculations of the
management About 260 feet east
of the main vertical shaft a raise is
being driven from the drift on the
400-fOot level and is following
strong seams of ore of excellent
grade. The raise was started with
the object of connecting with the
winze that was sunk by lessees sew
eral years ago. from drift extend
ed from the old incline shaft, and
in which high-grade ore was ex-
posed just before the lessees were
driven out by water.
The incline shaft was abandoned
after the new vertical shaft was
sunk. and as the drifts had been
permitted to cave it was impossible
to reach this winZe through the old
workings From the incomplete
maps of the lessees the approximate
position of the Wine is known, and
it is now apparent that the raise
from the 400 level is in the same
ore-shoot or channel that was found
in the winze. at depth correspond
ing to the 300-foot level from the
main shaft.

copper content of the ore. All the
deep-level ores of these properties
contain a large per cent of copper
and at current prices for the red
metal it will form an important part
of the company's profit-earning pro-
duction. Preparations at the mill
are practically completed for the in
stallation of the flotation equipment,
some of which is slowly arriving on

GRANDMA SHAFT
IS BEING SUNK
SURFACE EQUIPMENT OF GOOD
CAPACITY TO BE INSTALLED
SOON

In sinking the new main working
shaft of the Grandma Consolidated
good progress is being made and as
soon as sufficient depth shall have
been attained to permit of it's eco
nomical use, ahoisting plant of lib
eral capacity will be installed and
the work will proceed as rapidly as
it can be accomplished by the most
approved mining methods. Accord
ing to the estimate of Consulting
Engineer j. X Turner this shaft
will cut the main Grandma vein at
a depth of about $50 feet, and at
this point, or not far below. it is
planned to explore the vein by
means of drifts.
The vein crops boldly at the sur
face, it's apex being traced plainly
for a long distance within Grandma
territory, parallel with the west
side-line. In the southern extension
of this vein. on the adjoining Spear
head property, ore of shipping grade
was exposed in the workings of the
Wheeler lease, at a depth OF about
$50 feet, and conditions at the sur
face are similar on the two proper
ties. The surface plant will include
an electric hoisting engine, COM
pressor and machine drills, while all
necessary mine buildings and other
accessories will be provided.

JUMBO JUNIOR s
PLANS PREPARED
PROPERTY TO BE DEVELOPED
THROUGH WORKINGS OF
JUMBO EXTENSION

DevelOpmnet work will be in pro-
gress in the near future in the ter
Titory of the Jumbo Junior Mining
company, adjoining the Velvet claim
of the Jumbo Extension on the
northeast. BY an arrangement with
the Jumbo Extension company, this
work will be conducted through
the Velvet shaft and workings OF
the latter company, at a depth of
about $50 feet, and the Jumbo
Junior will be saved the heavy ex-
pense of sinking deep shaft.
On the S90-foot level of the
Velvet a cross-cut has been adj
vanced through the vein and along
the hanging wall, to a point within
less than so feet of the side-line
of the Jumbo Junior. When the
boundary line is reached in this
work, the latter company will take
up the work of extending this drift
into its territory and from this
drift it is planned to cross-cut the
big vein at intervals and to eX-
plore the shale contact zone. The
work of the Jumbo Junior company
will be conducted under the iii
rection Of, Superintendent j. X.
Turner and Foreman Lou Deilin-
ger of the Jumbo Extension.

GOLD MOUNTAIN
LEASE SHIPPING
HARGROVE AND CORMACK MAKE
GOOD Output FROM BUTTE
GCLDFIELD

A carload of ore, estimated to be
worth $35 per ton, was shipped on
Tuesday at Bonnie Clare station, on
the l.. V. & n. railroad, from the
lease operated by A. j. Cormack and
w. r. Hargrove on the Butte Gold
field property, in the Gold Mountain
mining district, As miles south of
Goldfield. The ore is lead car
Donate, containing gold, silver and
lead, with small quantity of cop
per, and was extracted from drift
about 80 feet below the level of the
main tunnel. Sufficient ore of this
grade and character is now in sight
to insure a highly profitable pro-
duction. The ore is shipped to the
International cOmpany's smelter at
Tooele, Utah.
Greater activity is apparent in
the Gold Mountain district than for
a number of years past. Flotation
equipment is being installed at the
Bonnie Clare mill, by Quigley and
associates, which will give the plant
a capacity of 100 tons daily.
Ore of shipping grade is being ex-
tracted from the Quigley property,
known as the Hard Luck mine, near
the Butte GOldfield. Two Yuba
tractors are employed by F. A.
Campbell in freighting lead ore
from the Ubehebe district to Bon
ME Clare for shipment, distance or

The Goldfield district is destined
to enjoy shortly the beneficent ef-
fects of the introduction of a pro-
cess = by means of which the low
grade ore that has been a dead as
set in the past will be made to yield
substantial Profits to mining COM
panies and claim owners. Two
plants of generous capacity, employ
ing the oil flotation process, will be
in operation very soon and their eco

LARGE DEPOSITS
IN PIONEER CON.
MILE Is SENDING AMALGAM
RETORTS REGULARLY TO
u. $. MINT

Mining engineers and experts
who have examined the mine work
ings of the Pioneer Consolidated
Mines company in recent months
declare that the property con-
tains some of the largest bodies OF
free-milling gold ore of profitable
grade of any mine in Nevada. 1t
is also asserted by competent au-
thorities that this ore can be mined
and treated at cost as low or
lower than has been recorded
elsewhere in the state. President
w. J. Tobin reports that a single
miner, during one shift last week,
broke down $50 tons of mill ore,
and one miner has been breaking
and tramming all the ore required
for the 10-stamp mill.
The main orebody crops at the
surface and pans freely for a width
OF over 40 feet, while it is even
wider at depth, the face of mill ore
on the 25O-foot level being over
sc feet in width. The famous Bo-
nanza stope, opened some 10 years
ago in this vein, produced up
wards of 100000 worth of ore of
exceedingly. high grade and at in
, tervals, in extending this great
stope, high-grade assays have been
obtained over a great width and
height of ore.

mill is treating from 90 to 40 tons
daily and is defraying all costs of
operation. Returns from the last
tetort sent to the mint were for
$1S61.7S, and another has just
been forwarded that is estimated to
be worth considerably over $4,000.
Treatment at present is by simple
amalgamation, in the batteries, on
plates below the batteries, in a
Huntington mill and on longer
plates below the Huntington. The
cyanide plant is not being used at
present, as the recovery is not al
together satisfactory in the alb
sence of shining equipment. This
and in the meantime the failing
from the mill is impounded and
will be treated later.
Electric power is provided for
the mill, by connection with the
main line of the Nevada-CalifOrnia
Power company and water IS
brought from the company's springs,
two miles distant, by pipe line and
raised to the mill by means Of a
triplex pump and small gasoline
engine. The water supply is am
pie for a mill of many times the
present capacity. 1t is planned TO
increase the mill capacity and to
extend development work on a
broad scale. following recommends

FLORENCE PLANT
USES FlO1AT|0N
MARCY BALL MILL TO FORM
IMPORTANT PART OF
EQUIPMENT

With it's enlarged flotation plant
iE operation, the Florence Goldfield
Mining company will be in condition
to make substantial profits from
the operation of it's property. A
large tonnage of gold-copper ore
has been exposed or blocked out
in the mine workings, of char
acter we'll suited for treatment by
flotation, and tests have proved
that this ore can be treated prof
itably by the process to be en-
ployed. 1t is estimated that there
is now available for extraction up
wards of 10000 tons of this ore,
which will yield a net profit by
flotation of not less than $4 per
ton.
Instead of stamps for the initial
grinding of the ore. the new plant
will be equipped with ball mill,
of comparatively recent design,
which has a capacity of 400 tons
daily and grinds to an exceedingly
fine mesr. This mill is cylindrical
in shape, greater in circumference
and shorter than the ordinary tube
mill, and steel balls are used in
place of pebbles.
The present equipment of Jan
ney flotation machines will prob
ably be sufficient for the require
ments of the new plant, but addi-
tional and improved pumping equip
ment will be installed. 1t is said
that the plant will be in operation
in less than 80 days.

MERGER NEAR CONTACT

The north crOSs-cut of the Mer-
ger Mines company, in the sun
flower claim and near the east
side-line of the Jumbo Extension,
is progressing in the shale, but a
short distance below the contact
between the shale and latte. Raises
have been driven at intervals to
prospect the contact zone and as
the work progresses farther north
the indications are becoming more
favorable. Connection will be made
shortly with the deepest level of
the Jumbo Extension mine.

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

The fotation plant, recently pur-
chased from the leasing company,
is being enlarged and equipped with
the best of machinery and will be
in operation within 80 days, with
a capacity of between 800 and 400
tons daily. 1t is estimated that
there is blocked out in the mine
over 10000 tons of ore that will
yield a net profit of 81 per ton,
and the company will also treat the
old dumps, which are estimated to
contain $4,000 tons of IS ore.

WILL SHIP ORE
PROPERTY EAST OF LEADING
MINES ENTERS LIST OF
PRODUCERS

Ore is being hoisted for shipment
from the workings of the New Jer-
sey Mines company, in the eastern
central part of the Goldfield dis
trict, the product coming from the
$50, 400 and 500-foot levels of
the Exchequer shaft. In addition
to the ore of shipping grade, it is
reported by Manager Harry Ernest
that a large tonnage of low-grade
ore of commercial value has been
exposed. Manager Ernest has late
ly prepared a report, which has
been submitted to President Henry
". Broeser and the board of di-
rectors and which contains the
following statements:
The main shaft is 507 feet in
depth and development work has
been conducted on the $50, 400 and
500-foot levels. On the 33O-foot
level drift was extended to the
east, following a seam of ore that
was cut in the shaft and which has
yielded assays up to SIS per ton in
gold and silver. A short cross-cut
to the south from this drift exposed
some ore of fair grade near the
shaft. The vein was followed by a
winze to the 400-foot level, where
the ore was more broken and the
metals more widely scattered and
where fault action was apparent at
the dacite contact. Small punches
of ore were found in driving on
this contact.
A crosstcut was driven south of
west and the vein was penetrated
(Coninued from Page One)
on the contact SS feet from the
shaft, exposing ore that yielded as
says up to $53 per ton. The vein
has been stripped for 40 feet up
ward and ore of commercial value
can be broken throughout this dis
tance. A drift northwest on the
contact from the main cross-cut
shows that the vein narrows to
eight inches, giving assays up to
$117 per ton. From drift south
east of t,1, ma.f. oI 5ss-cut a Wine

exposed three feet of ore averaging
50 and yielding occasional higher

On the 500-foot level cross-cut
was extended west 55 feet and
south so feet, where it exposed the
vein cut on the 40O-foot level and
penetrated another vein, with q
westerly trend, which appears to be
of considerable importance. So
far as it has been developed, it ap-
pears to contain a large body OF
low-grade ore. The cross-cut was
continued into the vein for A feet
without change. A raise was ex-
tended 40 feet on the foot-wall and

there is a large tonnage that can be
treated profitably.
South of the shaft. on the 500
foot level, a drift was extended
149 feet along the dacite contact,
cutting vein from two to three
feet in width. A raise on this vein

BROCK ME TO
 SLEEP, MOTHER''

Backward, turn backward, O Time,
 in your flight. Make me child again just for to-
 night!"
 These are the first two lines of one of the most popular of those homely poems which make so strong an ap- peal to the masses of the American and English people. Rock Me to Sleep, Mother" was first published in the Saturday Evening Post of Phil adelphia in 1860. Since then it has been set to music by nearly two-score composers, published and republished in every collection of American verse, and recited and sung by millions of people. The authorship of the poem was in dispute for many years, but it is now definitely established that it was the work of Elizabeth Akers Al len, who was born in Strong, Maine, eightyfour years ago today, Oct. g, 1882. She was born a Chase, but be- came the wife of Paul Akers, a prom inent sculptor. who died in 1861, and several years later she was married to E. M. Allen, a New York man. She began to write verse at the age of fifteen. Her masterpiece. "Rdck Me to Sleep, Mother" was written in 1859, while the then Mrs. Akers was living in Portland, Me-, where for some years she was literary editor of the Portland Advertiser. She went to Rome in 1860 with her husband and it was from the Eternal City that she mailed. the manuscript of the poem to the Philadelphia publication which first gave it to the world

"It is the secret sympathy,
 The silver link, the silken tie,
 Which heart to heart and mind to mind
 In body and in soul can bind"
 Should the unsuited stay welded? ?" That is the question which half of the world asks and the other half tries to answer.
 Many are the arguments for and against the binding together of two hearts that have ceased to love, two souls that are struggling hopelessly to be free. In short, is divorce under any circumstances justifiable, or should the marriage tie remain intact despite sorrow, humiliation and ex- istence more cruel than death to the bitter end?
 It is seldom that a welded couple are not blest with offspring. Where this is not the case and grave reasons wedge themselves in between husband and wife, such as infidelity or other dire misdeeds which disrupt even re- spect, it may be blessing for the in- nocent husband or wife to secure a peaceful life apart.
 The breaking up home is quite a different matter. IA wife may have good cause to tear asunder their mar riage bonds, but there is another side of the picture for her to study and consider well. She is no longer the lighthearted, care-free woman she was in her earlier days. She has a family to consider. All her disappointments she'd be merged into an eager wish for their peace of mind. There should be no parting of the ways unless it is unavoidable and her children see it from that viewpoint.
 The query is an old one as to who shall say whether this one or that one is entitled to the rights the divorce courts settle if the wife be too deeply wronged to pardon. letter comes to me from a wife which needs Solomon's wisdom to decide upon. She says in part: "A few years ago married a man occupying good social position whom I believed worthy and true. Some years after our marriage, by chance, I discovered I had been cruelty deceived. He had been leading a dou-, ble life. His entanglement had begun years before I met him. From the first to the last, I was the wage earner, all of his money going to the other woman. She had lived abroad
 
 since a short time before our mar riage. Am I not entitled to a divorce? My respect for the man is dead Life is just dragging along with me. There is nothing to look forward to-no hor -
 It would seem to me that this is a query which only a clever lawyer should be able to give advice upon A man who deliberately and wiIfully de- celves forfeits all right of being trust ed.. When love has gone and even re- spect has followed after it the chain of rose leaves has hardened into aid- amant which gals as it binds It has been said in Holy Writ that the mar riage should last until death Wise, earthly judges have decided in many an instance that the grievance of married life called for redress.
