taken in" from time to time; a total

GOOD COPPER ORE
MINED BY LESSEES
GOOD RETURNS FROM SAMPLES
OF ORE SHIPPED TO
SHELTERS

Development work on the proper
ty formerly owned by Broyles &
Spencer at Elder crock is going on
with much eagernCsS.
The property is comprised of six
claims and was taken Eel by E. S.
Mendive about three months ago.
Since taking over the group three
shifts have been at work continual
ly and some very extensive develop
mert work h&s been done in the way
of opening up and prospecting the
group.
Assays taken from the surface
groupings for a distance of about 400
feet run all the way from | to 20
per cen in copper with fair returns
in both gold and silver.
They have driven a cross-cut tun-
mel fer a distance of approximately
400 feet and have cut through sever
al veins which the surface showing
did not indicate. The men are now
in ore and have been for a distance
of 60 feet, that will average four per
cen copper.
They are driving the tunnel and
expect to reach the objective point
by cutting the main vein within 20
feet. This vein is the most eXtens-
i've and crops on the surface.
The portal of the tunnel is 10
feet below the surface and within a
varv short time theV qXDoct to cut
the main vein. Then drifting on
both it and the minor veins will com
mence. Every indication points to
this group as a shipper.
One car, from which the returns
have not yet been received, has
just beer shipped.-Battle Mountain

UTAH MEN PURCHASE
ROSEBUD PROPERTY

An important mining Zeal was
closed here the first part of the
week, when a syndicate Of Salt
Lake mining men took over twenty
claims al Rosebud from F. W. KEN
merle and associates. The proper
ty is covered with huge dykes which
for many years were considered to
be a fine quality of limestone and
were t~raversed daily by prospectors.
Kemmerle had an assay made and
found hat the rock contained large
quantities of alunite, from which
aluminium is manufactured, and at
once located the ground.
1t is understood that the Salt
Lake parties took a bond on the
property at $4,000, if paid within
80 days. with $1,000 down, with
graduated increases in the purchase
price up to six months, when the
option expires.-Silver State.

MOapa Valley Prospecting

The small canning plant that
has been in operation at O%verton,
in the Moapa valley, will be replac-
ed this fall by a large new plant
with a capacity of from 30 to 40
tons per day. The old plant was
wateful, as it canned only toma-
toes of a certain size, but by m
ploying a new concentration pro-
cess. it will be possible for toma-
toes of any size to be used. The
concentrating process first reduces
the vegetable to a pulp, after which
the seeds are removed. After the
mass has been boiled the remaining
thick pulp is placed in five-gallon
cans that find a ready market in
large catsup and flavoring factor
les. The company that has install
ed the plant has assured the farm
ers an increased price for their to-
matoes.

GWEENAH MINES
RESUME OUTPUT
RICH ORE PRODUCED FROM
LEMAIRE PROPERTY WEST
OF AUSTIN

Three shifts are working in the
Lemaire mine at Gweenah and the
past week particularly high-grade
ore has been hoisted from the west
drift on the 100-foot level.
This ore is characteristic of the
district and is a deep seated deposit
Of the rich surface stuff that gave
the camp a short lived boom eight
years ago. Many locations were then
made in Gweenah ard Skookum at
the time and for three months there
was all indications that one of the
important mining camps of the
state was in incubation. However,
most of the operators grew faint
hearted and quit. The Lemaire pro-
perty was consistently worked on a
modest scale and this summer there
have been several shipments Of
high-grade made.
The ore comes out in rich chunks
OF native silver mixed and plaster
ed over with horn silver. Henry
Lemaire was expected up from Bat
tie Mountain this week to inspect
the work done and outline future
plans of development and produc-
ton.
That the shortlived boom at
Skookum and Gweenah, eve miles
west of Austin which flourished IA
few weeks, eight years ago was
based upon solid deposits of ore is
being proved every day in the work
that is being carried on in the Le-
MARIE mine.
All winter, there has been a con
slant production of shipping ore.
The first of this week, the miners
on the 100 foot level broke down
some exceptionally rich silver ore.
They had drifted through an ore
shoot of 100 feet and still were III
the pay. But when rock, plastered
with native and horn silver, began
to tumble down, they realized that
the extent OF the ore deposit is yet
to be determined.
The work in the Lemaire mine
will in all probability result in the
resumption of operations in many
of the other splendid properties on
the hill across the river.-Reveille.

WASHINGTON. July 3. = Prep
arations for the mobilization of the
first contingent of 625, 900 troops OF
the new national army advanced
another step when President Wilson
promulgated the regulations to gov
ern exemptions from military serv-
ice.
Local and appeal exemption
boards already have been appointed
and the issuance of the regulations
will permit them to organize immedi-
ately and prepare for the con'lI ding
phases of the task of getting the men
under training for duty in France.
In the order in which they must
come, there are three steps in the
organization process of the national
army as prescribed by congress.
These are registration, selection
and exemption. The first step has
been carried through and approx
mately 10000, 900 men between 81
and 81 years of age have been regis.

in detail the operation of the third
step, exemption.
Information concerning the second
step in the series still is lacking,
however, and officials are guarding
closely the method by which selec-
ton is to be applied.
The exemption regulations an
nounced that the boards would be
advised of the selection process lat
err, although none of the steps pre-
scribed, except the organization OF
the boards, can be carried on until
the selection machinery has furnish
ed the names of the men whose fit
ness and d~esirability for army serv-
ice the boards are to Judge.
There is one hint, however, as to
how the selection machinery is to
work.
The local boards ure directed upon
organization to take over from the
registration precincts the cards and
lists of the men registered on June
3, and as their first duty to provide
a serial number for each registration
card. This has given support to the
belief that the selection is to be by
number.
The exemption process will not
take a great deal o time. 1t is diff
ficult to calculate the time the local
boards will need in passing on the
cases that come before them. The
regulations provide, however, that
decision in any individual shall not
be delayed more than three days by
the local boards.
The process probably can be car
ried through in less than 80 days.
