CONDITION AND OUTPUT
NOW LARGER

Net earnings of the Jumbo En-
tension company during the month
Of Nav are estimated by the man
agement, in a statement just is-
sued by Secretary Ben Gill, at $3l.-
$50. This sum is over $4,000 great
er than the profit made in April
and $4,000 in excess of the net.
earnings in March. During the
month of May the Jumbo Exten-
sion mine produced $3.50 dry tons
NJ ore. the gross value of which
was approximately $91,5OO. tx
penses for freight, treatment and
sampling were $32,250; smelling
losses were $10,5O0, and mine op-
Grating costs were about $l7,ooo'
Predictions that were made some
time ago by President Charles S.
Sprague, that the company's earn
ings would show a steady and sub
stantial increase during the next
few months, are being borne out
in a measure most gratifying TO
the management and the stock
holders. The character and guam
tity of ore now exposed, together
with the enlarged production
through the Velvet shaft, afford evil
dence that this prediction was
justified and support the belief that
the increase in earnings will con-
tinue for some time to come.
At number of points in the old
er workings, where slopes OF
great magnitude have been opened
in the shale contact ore channel and
in the orebody within the shale, ore
of high grade is being broken. This
ore is mixed with the product OF
lower grade, extracted in extending
some of the slopes and in deveE
opment work, and lately the aver
age of all ore shipped has been
in the neighborhood of $50 per
ton.
The company is also realizing
profit from the marketing of some
Of its dump ore. extracted during
the earlier operations and averag-
ing around $8 per ton. In addition
to this ore. there is now in sight
in the mine a large tonnage OF low
hs1o - that iC
we'll suited for treatment by flota-
tion and that will ultimately be
treated by that process, insuring
a large revenue in future from
this source.
Results of new development work
in the northern part of the Velvet
claim and conducted from the Vel
vet shaft. on the 7S0 ad S90-foot
levels, have been particularly gra-
tifying and indicate that this part
of the mine is destined to produce
large quantities of pay ore with
further development. The east
drift on the S90-foot level mas
reached the side-line of the Jum-
bo Junior company's property and
is now being continued along the
hanging wall of the great vein, TO
thoroug ghly prospect the main lode
within the latter company's terri
tory.
SHIPMENTS from the Jumbo Ex-
tension mine have lately been at
the rate of three carloads, or ap-
proximately $50 tons daily, and 1t
is probable that this rate of pro-
duction will be maintained regu-
larly in future.

GREAT F|SSURE
IN NEVADA LAKE
EARTH OPENED IN GREAT
CRACK DURING A NIGHT
IN JANUARY

The discovery of new and re-
markable fissure of great extent, in
a lake bed in southern Nevada, is
reported by II. F.. James, a mining
engineer and geologist who has
been in the field near the Lincoln
county line, in charge of a party
of prOspectors and who Is well
known in Goldfield. The phenom-
enon was first observed by COW
boys in playa or old lake bed
that forms the lowest point in Emf
grant valley, about 120 miles
southeast of Goldfield, south of the
Timpahute mountains and in Lin
coin county.
In past years the lake has con-
tanned water, which had been about
three feet deep until July or Au-
gust and upon which the cattle
men of the region have depended
for a water supply for their stock.
On Jan. 26. last. party of cattls
man crossed one end of the lake
and found that it contained water
to a depth of three feet and cover
ed an area approximately two miles
in Zach direction.
Two days later, or Jan. 2S. the
same men. upon returning by this
lake. found the bed dry and
g, eat open fissure extending more
than half way across the lake and
beyond it's northern extremity. The
big crack or fissure is over 90
feet wide and in some places
is partly filed with caving
earth, while at other points it re-
mains open and it has been impos-
sible to determine it's depth, as the
bottom cannot be seen and rocks
thrown into the opening have af-
forded no indication of the depth
by their sound The fissure ex-
tends in nearly straight line for
considerably over mile, in a
'northerly direction Many lateral
fractures were found. rendering the
rounding ground insecure and
making any extended examination
Of the crevice impossible at fhe
time.
In seeking an explanation Of the
phenomenon. Mr.. James is inclined
to the heliaf that it was caused by
the settling OF the clay formation,
that apparently exists here at a
depth of from 500 to 1000 feet,
rather than to the theory of
seismic disturbance. He regards
it rs likely that movement or
settling of the rather soft clay took
nlace, under pressure Of the over
burden, which has been formed
from sediment in the ancient Lake
bed and offers little resistance 70
such settling movement.
At the time of their second visit
to the lake the cattle men found
evidences of a terrific wind storm.
which had visited the lake on the
previous night. Mud, sand and
clay were piled up at one end of the
lake and the heavy wind had ap-
parently driven all the water into
the newly opened fissure. The lit
tie remaining water had become i'm
pregnated with some mineral in So
luton and many cattle have been
lost as a result of drinking this
water
The lake bed is composed of the
white, saline material found in 9th
Ell playas of this region and the
-stOckmen fear that there will be
nc water in the lake until the big
fissure shall have been refilled by
caving and by sand blown from
the surrounding region. Lack of
water at this point will be a seri-
Gus loss to the cattle men whose
herds range in Emigrant valley.

Unity in Purpose.

A united people can accomplish
great things. The country that is
united in ideals and sentiment has
nothing to fear in economics, 80.
GEOLOGY and citizenship. 1t is that
unanimity of purpose that assures
the success of united people.
AS nation we are not making use
of our opportunities for cooperation
as we should. We have not fully
realized the close connection be.
tween the manufacturer and the
farmer; the transportation compa-
MES and the shippers; the profes-
sional man aud the business man /;
the merchant and the farmer; the
capital and labor. We have not
made use Of the fact that every citi-
zen engaged in serving society in a
legitimate way is factor for CO..
operation, and his interest must
not be ignored In any system for
economy.
The richest, most prosperous and
most Independent countries in the
world are where people produce an
abundance of food and clothing and
have developed markets so that the
surplus is disposed of. economically.
This cannot;be done by antagonism,
strife and bitterness engendered by
selfishness existing among classes
and occupations. 1t must be done
by cooperation and good will to
all, and with special emphasis to
economy and efficiency. If this re-
quires monopoly it must be mo-
nopoly for the benefit of The people.
Every farmer should be proud
that he is farmer; believe it is the
best occupation among men; that in
producing the peoples food he is
rendering society great service as
we'll as himself and his family. But
he should recognize the Importance
of his fellowmen in other legitimate
occupations. Markets must be had;
the things that we cannot produce
must be bought; professional servic
es must be had; manufacturing,
transportation, merchandising, bank
ing, etc., are necessary; facilities
for education. recreation and hu-
man efficiency must be in our reach.
To get the best results for our
selves, our state and our nation we
should strive each to help the other
and thus be helped by cooperation
that builds up society and makes
the earth better place to live in.

Poultry on The Farm.

No other form of intensive agri-
culture is better suited TO help feed
our rapidly increasing population
han poultry raising. A very small
area devoted to poultry raising will
produce enough to supply family.
Could the entire farm produce yield
as muchsaccording to the area as that
which is nseu to raise poultry there
would be larger crops and better
profits for those who till the soil.
A small flock of fowls even under
conditions of low prices and little
attention given to the fowls may
afford considerable revenue.
The fowls on the average farm
usually have few restrictions. They
must let the crops and the stored
grain alone, but with this exception
they must have the courtesy of the
farm; roost where they choose and
eat what they can find.
With better care and attention
the farm fowls could produce more
wealth and be better source of
profit on the farm. 1t would only
be necessary to get good foundation
ssock and use, care in selection and
feeding, and see to it that the birds
are properly housed and fed. A
dozen hens from strain of heavy
layers might be more profitable than
two dozen of the type often found
in the farmyard.
This is the season for increasing
Sthe flock. There will be a demand
sfor fresh eggs and poultry on the
table of the farm manager. 1t now
seems likely that the market will
lake care of more than has been
Produced in the past. A few dollars
er week from the hens will go a
Ing way toward meeting the ex.
bnse of necessities.-Farm & Fac
