WEDGE PROPERTY'S
OUTLOOK IS GOOD
EQUIPMENT Is OF BEST AND
GOOD PROGRESS Is BEING
MADE

Extensive development work is
now under way at the Wedge
mine which embraces three veins.
Shipping ore is being extracted
from No. 1 tunnel workings and
the company is now loading a So
ton a which carries about 8 per
cent copper. The superintendent
states hat the mine will produce
sufficient shipping ore from develop
ment work to pay all operating ex-
penses.
The bottom of the north drift
from No. l tunnel contains a num-
Der of shoots of rich sulphides
which appear to apex three OF four
feet above the floor of the drift.
To mine this ore cheaply tunnel
No. 2 has been started 500 feet
down the hill at a greater depth
of 200 feet.
On the east side of the ridge
No. 2 vein parallels No. l and a
tunnel will be driven on this vein.
To the north and i~ntersecting veins
l and 2 at right angles is No. 3
vein. A prospect hole where the
vein is cut by the gulch exposes
s feet of carbonate ore carrying
s to 10 per cent copper. Another
tunnel will follow this vein and
will be in shipping ore from the
start. The property is equipped
with an air compressor and ma
chine drills and air will be piped
to the other tunnels and machine
drills employed in the work.-West-

PROPERTY

With the addition this week of
the new high power sinking pump,
with a capacity of $1,000 gallons
an hour, the unwatering of the
Seven Troughs Coalition mine will
make rapid progress than is
now being made. The new pump,
which was sent from San Francisco
by Wells Fargo express, was rush
ed to the mine and put in place on
Wednesday of this week.
With the smaller pump which was
installed Immediately following the
flooding of the mine, about a foot
of water a day was taken out. When
the new pump is installed, this
will be increased considerably, ac-
cording to hydraulic experts who
spent last week in looking owe the
mine, and who recommended the
installation of the huge new pump.
Every effort is being made to
hasten the time when the rich ore

GALENA FIND
IN RUTH MINE

j. A. Egger, leasing on the Ruth
mine of the Campbell estate, has
struck a fine body of galena ore
that will run 60 per cent. in lead
and 40 ounce in silver.
This showing vas found on the
right hand side of the shaft max
ing towards the lime contact at
a depth of 80 feet. Mr.. Egger
started a drift at this level in the
shaft and run into the ore at a
distance of nine feet. At present
it shows up about 20 inches of his
high grade. while the width of the
ore shoot is three feet.
The Ruth is n of the oldest
properties in the district. and the
town of Goodsprings was at one
time named after it, being known as
Ruth, New. There has been a large
quantity of ore shipped from the
mine in years past and the Camp
bell estate has recently worked over
the old dumps and shipped two
carloads of high grade ore. The
Ruth is only three miles west of
town and about 1900 feet south
of the Alice.-Goodsprings Gazette.

GIANT RAILROAD
MERGER PLANNED
ROADS TO EE UNDER SINGLE
HEAD WITH ENORMOUS
CAPITAL

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-Mer-
ger of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburgh into one corporation 70
be known as the Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis Rail-
read company" was officially con-
firmed here. The consolidation ot
the five railroads does not involve
the acquisition of properties by the
Pennsylvania railroad, it was an
%nounced, but will mean the sim
plification of the corporate and
financial structure of all of the
lines concerned.
All of the units will be govern
ed by n head, instead of the
present system whereby each con-
ducts its business separately. The
simplification of the management Of
these lines will result in material
in the expenditures OF
each. The authorized capital of the
new corporation will exceed $780,
it a said.

TOBAR MINES
PRODUCE ZINC

Shipments of ore the past week
from the Tobar Zinc mines is the
heaviest production week in the past
two months. 1t is estimated that
there will be over 200 car loads
shipped in the next few days if
the smelters will accept the ore.
The physical conditions at the
mine are better than eve before
with a force of 126 men at work.
Most of the cars shipped, just re-
leased from the sampler show "a
per cent zinc, while the lowest IS
80 per cent. Prospectors are COM
ing into Tobar from all sides and
reports are that the gold and sill
yer assays are going high.
Mining operations throughout the
Glaftie camp are more extensive
than ever before in the camps his
tory, with bigger things now on
and planned for the immediate fu-
ture. Mining in general is on a
scale seldom if ever before witnessed
in this county.-Tobar Times.

OKLAHOMA TO
START ITS MILL

Col. Thomas Ewing was an ARRIVAL
Wednesday from the property of
the Oklahoma Mining company,
situated i'll the Pine Forest range.
Mr.. Ewing is the general manager
of the property and at the present
time is accomplishing a great deal
o. work there. both in mine develop
ment, the erection of a milling
plant and constructing roads.
Mr.. Ewing states that it will tie
only a short time when the mill will
be ready for the grinding of ore,
of which there is a large quantity
on the dumps and blocked out in
the mine. For some years develop
ment has been in progress and the
property is opened up by a long
tunnel, shafts, wines, drifts and
a number of open cuts and shallow
works. The ore is collaborating
and of a free-milling character

CIRCLE MINES
MAKE HEAVY OUTPUT
BIG TONNAGE OF HIGH-GRADE
ORE COMING FROM PRO
PERTIES

Last Thursday Randall sent out
two big freight wagon loads of $3.50
ore from his recent strike on his
Gold Circle claims. To appreciate
the Importance of this n must
know this ore as been taken out
in sinking a distance of IA feet,
says the Gold Circle correspondent
OF the Humboldt Star. Having now
installed a horse whim, and their
road being completed, they are go

This strike is about the only II

off on the booze and redeem him
self as a useful citizen. He secured
a job on a ranch and went there,
taking enough whiskey for the taper
ing-off process. He underestimate
his capacity and a out of whis-

AUST|N-DAKOTA
AGAIN WORKING
MACHINERY INSTALLED AND
RICH ORE SHIPPED To
THE SHELTER

Work is moving with customary
despatch in mining operations on
the property of the Austin-Dakota
under the direction OF G.
F. Littrell. Shipments of ore made
recently to the American Smelling
g. Refining company gave returns
of $4,000 per ton, chiefly in ell
yer. This ore IA rafed as the
second-class output from the mines.
The main working point on the
property at this tire is at the Y
Ray saft, where a station at the
2GO-foot level will be put in with
in a few days. This sinking is be-
ing done under contract and the
shaft is going down with three shifts
on the job, machine drills working
fine and top machinery, recently
installed, is adequate in every res
pect for the requirement of the rock
men.
A contract has been let, also,
to J.. NJ. King, VIM. Jenkvn, Sam
Holman and James Roberts to Sink
on the Tesora incline near the Dou-
Bile H. tunnel.
Ole Olsen has signed up a con-
tract with the management to run
a drift on the ledge, south from the
Double H. tunnel.
Gus Laurent and partners are
working on a contract to raise from
the X-Ray shaft at the 100-foot
level to the surface. This work is
being done for ventilating the mine
workings.
The machinery installations at
the mine are now complete and it
is not probable that a better equip
ment for exploration can be found
in Nevada on the same scale.
Some of the principal owners of
the property. accompanied by their
engineers are expected here this
month.-Reese River Reveille.

TO AID PEACE AFTER WAR.
Nation Will Cooperate to Form In.
ternational League.

Berlin, Nov. 11.-Germany, after the
end of the war, will cooperate with
other powers in seeking a practical
means for obtaining an enduring world
peace through an international tri-
bunal, Chancellor Won Bethmann-HOll-
veg told the reichstag's main commit
tee.
The chancellor, discussing the in
fluence of the origin of the war on
future peace, added: Gentlemen we
have nothing TO fear from any tri-
bunal."
The chancellor replied to the speech
made by Lord Grey, British foreign
secretary, TO foreign newspaper men,
in which he said that the origin of
the present war must influence peace
conditions and that Germany would
be entitled to ask for guarantees
against future attacks if the present
war really were forced upon Germany
OF course Lord Grey at once added
that Germany's Interpretation of the
origin of the war was incorrect and
that the war was not forced upon Ger
many, but was forced by Germany
upon Europe.

TWO UNITED STATES
OFFICERS ARE KILLED
Blown to Atoms While Experimenting
With New Type of Aero
plane Bomb.

Washington, Nov. 10.-During a
spectacular experiment with new
type of aeroplane bomb on Wednesday
afternoon at Indian Head, Nd, Naval
Lieutenants Clarence X. Bronson and
Luther Welsh were instantly killed.
While flying at an altitude of 1000
feet the bomb exploded Immediately
beneath the aerOpIane breaking it in
two. Bronson, pilot of the machine,
and Welsh, who had just hurled the
bomb, fell, together with parts of the
aerOplane into the Potomac river.
The accident occurred at the Navy
Proving grounds, situated on the Pc
tOmac river, 40 miles from Washing
ton, at . As o'clock in the afternoon.
Experiments with the new aerOplane
bomb were being conducted under the
supervision of Lieutenant Wilkinson
and other experts from the bureau OF
ordnance. The explosive with which
the bomb was charged was said to be
one of the most powerful ever expert
mented with but the secret of it's COM
position is guarded by the navy de-
partment.

TAKE HEAVY LAYER
FOR BREEDING PEN
Method of Selection Is Being
Used With Success by Many
Practical Breeders.

Yearling hens of the acknowledged
breeds that began to lay early in the
spring will have pale legs in the fall.
The heavier the layer, the whittier the
Shanks. This method Of selecting the
heavy layer for breeding stock, while
comparatively new, is being used with
success by many practical poultrymen.
According to Prof. Il. p. Clayton Of the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechani.
cal college, the young hens that have
deep yellow legs will bring the best
returns If sold for table use in the fall
The Importance of culling out these
boarder hens is readily seen in trap
nest records. Eight months of such
records kept for 20 hens by one poul-
tryman in Mississippi showed some of
the hens to be rapidly approaching the
20O-egg marx, while other equally
promising-loolling hens at the start
have laid from 4 to 16 eggs each.
Two of the hens have not laid an egy
in the entire time. AS nearly all mer-
chants and chicken dealers now buy
by weight, the most profits is in fat
chickens. Marketable chickens usual
~ fatten rapidly if penned up and fed
a mash of three parts cornmeal and
two parts wheat bran, mixed I'D with
buttermilk.

waste of labor to pillow, harrow, ana
cultivate such unproductive spots.
They should be improved so that they
will yield profit, or they should not
be planted at all. The poor clay spots
should be enriched, the swamp places
drained or filled, and the corn should
be planted farther from the timber,
with a strip of timber grass next TO
the trees.
Way of SubsoiIing.
Alfalfa, clover, and similar plants
send their roots to great depths ana
are the best crops to turn under for
the purpose of growing a very large
corn crop. Their culture is the best
and most economical way of subSolllng
as well as emiching land. The deep
growing roots loosen the subsoil ana
keep it porous long after the crop Is
turned under, and the nitrogen fixed in
the soil by the growth of the plants
greatly enriches the soil. Without Suf-
ficient rainfall, however, poor corn
crops are sometimes obtained on alfal-
fa sod, the soil moisture having been
exhausted to q great depth by the
roots Of the alfalfa.
Under no circumstances should corn
be grown continuously on the same
soil. Some very rich alluvial soils
have produced very good crops for
many years in succession, but better
crops would have resulted if rota-
ton of crops had been practiced. On
fertile farms where it is necessary 70
make corn the principal crop it might
be considered good farm practice to
plant corn two years in succession On
the same field, but not longer. When
corn is grown continuously on a field
for several years the vegetable matter
of the soil becomes depleted and the
soil becomes compact, difficult to work.
and poor home for corn plants. When
legume crops like alfalfa are grown
between the crops of corn the soil con-
tinues to remain loose and friable and
well supplied with vegetable decay and
nitrogen.

SUBMARINE DELAYS
SINKING j. s. SHIP
Waited Two Days Before De-
stroying the Columbian.
CREW UNABLE TO ESCAPE
U-Boat Commander Feared Sailors
Would Perish in Heavy Sea-
Waited Until Gale Stopped
Before Firing Torpedo.

Paris, Nov. IA wireless dispatch
from Madrid tells how German sub
marine waited two days before sink
ing the American steamship Column
bian in OrGer to save the crew.
According to this information, the
Columbian encountered the subma-
rine on NvOmber 6, in a violent temp
est. The submarine compelled the Co
lumbar to interrupt it's voyage and
lie to under surveillance until Novem-
Der 3. When the storm subsidized, the
dispatch says. the submarine ordered
the crew to abandon the ship, and then
sank it,
A Havas dispatch from Madrid
quotes the newspapers of Corruna,
Spain, where the crew is reported to
have landed, to the effect that when
the Columbian was held up the sub
marine ordered the crew to disem-
bark, but that the storm was so Sc
we're this was impossible until two
days later.
This dispatch also says the Norwe-
gian steamships BALTIC and Fordalen
were destroyed in the same manner on
November 8. GA report on the sinking
of these steamships was received from
LOndOn).
Berlin, Nov. II, via wirelesS.-The
report of the commander of the Ger
man submarine which sank the Brit
iSh steamship ROwanmOre, on which
there were several Americans, has
been received by the admiralty.
The report says the ROwanmore dis
regarded the submarines signal to
halt and endeavOred TO escape at full
speed, making it necessary for the sub
marine to fire Il few shots in order to
bring it to.
The crew showed its opinion of the
captains course, the report says, by
piling into the boats, leaving the mas
ter alone on the steamer. He was
forced to lower a boat unaided and
was padding around alone when
picked up by the submarine.
The Americans on board as far as
can be learned, consisted of several
negro firemen.
No report has been. received on the
case of the British steamship Marina,
which, with % Americans in the crew,
was sunk by submarine off the Irish
coast.
