Sixteen miles, by automobile

& Copper Company is sinking on
well-defned ledge that averages
from to per cent copper and car
ries gold values averaging around
IS per ton, for the ore disclosed in
the shaft. In a crosscut at the no
foot level the gold averages IS per

ounces in silver is carried.
In the upper workings the best
value-carrying part of the vein is
about feet in width. At the 10
foot level the mineralized zone has
a width of about so feet, assaying
gold, silver and copper. From all
indications the vein is developing
into a large ore body.

The formation consists of a soft,

it is planned to run drifts from the

foot vertical shaft, one of the early
workings and now more or less in
accessible, was also sunk on this ore
channel, which is more than 100 feet
in width at the surface, including
some practically barren streaks,
showing indications of extensive

The company is being financed by
the sale of stock at present among
friends of the officials of the COM
pany and others interested in the
property. No general stOck-sales
campaign has been instituted.
Money is being used entirely in de-
| velOpment work at present, and
while there are perhaps more than
100 tons of shipping ore sorted on
the dumps, it is not considered likely

present time.

main shaft This work is expected
! to be entirely in ore as the main ore
channel and an intersection Of the
| principal cross veins converge near
the shaft. and at a depth, it is be-
lieved, that the work will conclu-
sively demonstrate the existence of
payable bodies Of ore.

! England, who was employed as a
mining engineer for several years
by Bewick- -Moreing & Co., and who

London, recently reported on the

''The presence of copper sulphides
and the better definition of the vein
in the bottom of the shaft, certainly
justify further and deeper work. In
the development work it is probable
that the ore of shipping grade will
be broken thereby lowering the net
cost of the development operations
by the amount of the net proceeds
from such shipments"

Premature NeWs OF Troop
Arrivals in France Led
To Stricter Censorship
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. July 4.-When asked
Why press dispatches. which had al
ready been passed by the British and
French censors, were being diverted to
Washington for additional censorship,
George Creel, chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Information, said;
"The diversion was decided upon as
a result of the premature and unau-
thorized announcement Of the arrival
of the first contingent OF the expedl-
tionary force in France. The measure
is experimental, not permanent. 1t can
be stated authorltatively that the needs
cf the press will be considered 10 the
very limit Of military prudence"
II was the so-called leak IN news
from France regarding the arrival Of
American troops that caused the tight
ening of the censorship. Before all the
United States soldiers had arrived. a
dispatch telling of the coming OF n
part of the troops was passed by the
French and British censors. 1t was
printed in London. and cabled to three
news associations here. Two Of them
did not send il out; the third did so,
without consulting anybody IN Wash
ington, IL is said.
The result was much Indignation in
the War Department here, and among
Americans in France, for II was con-
tended that the publication Of the dis
patch endangered the troops still

safely.
There was lively fight between
British and German airplanes during
the attack. and only about five minutes
elapsed before the defensive aircraft
and the ant-aircraft guns drove off the
invaders.
The German squadron travelled at

other in erratic manner. Bombs were
dropped in rapid succession. British
a.rmen Immediately took the initiative,
and, operating under the most adverse
conditions, intercepted the Germans
and broke up their formation
Frustrated In their enterprise the
Germans turned toward the sea. Their
retreat was marked by a series of duels
with British aviators. One British ma
chine was seen to engage two Germans.
The official statements describe the
raid as follows:
"A squadron Of some twelve to four
teen enemy airplanes attacked Harwich
from northeasterly direction about
1905 o'clock this morning. A number
of bombs were dropped, and the latest
reports state that eleven persons were
killed and thirty-six injured Only
slight material damage was caused.
Fire was opened from the anti-air-
crift defences. and the enemy's forma-
tion was broken up, although the low
lying clouds rendered the visibility
very bad. The raiders also were en-
gagged by our own aircraft from a
ncighboring station.
After dropping their bombs the
enemy's squadron turned seaward with
out attempting to penetrate inland.
The whole raid only occupied few
minutes.

that naval aircraft from DunkIrk in
