Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Kindly give NE space to tell
you what our school is doing in school
gardens and nome gardens for this
term.
On the first day of school our prin-
cipa1 gave US talk on the import
ance of home gardens, with the re-
suit that we have formed a club of
100 boys who will plant in their home
gardens such vegetables as yams,
Irish potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets,
onions and radishes. Bananas will be
planted in spaces that are not suitable
fer vegetables. am going to plant an
acre of vans.
/ find no trouble in selling all the
vegetables that my mother does not
need for the table
We can now take a small piece of
meat and some carrots, parsnips, po-
tatoes and parsley and make stew
for our family costing not more than
25 cents, and if we should use beef
alone as a steak Or roast it would cost
at least dollar.
In this way We hope to help our par
ents by reducing the cost of living and
PERHAPS we can be of some use TO our
territory and oar country, too.
Thanking you for publishing my
letters F..
l am, very respectfully.
MAX. =. LANDGRAF.

saying $92.50 per ton. This raise
was opened in line with the rake
of the main ore-shoOt here and
proves up the main Orebody for a
long distance, insuring a large ton
mage of high-grade shipping ore
from this territory.
Jumbo Extension
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain property, which is being work
ed by the Jumbo Extension under
option, are more encouraging than
for some time past. The Miller-La
Pate lease, after completing some
necessary development work, has
resumed shipping on a substan-
tial scale and the company work
ings that are now in ore are MAX
ing a good showing. Two of the
new company shafts are being sunk
rapidly and are expected to pene-
trate the ~ore-bearing contact zones
within the next fortnight. In the
local property development work
is being extended throughout a wide
area and on deep levels.
Sandstorm-Kendall
New work is being started on the
Sandstone property, designed to ex-
plore a vein of good promise that
was opened in the early days of the
camp by lessees, operating from the
Kramer shaft, east of the main
workings. Some good assays have
been obtained in the main south
drift, at a point nearly under the
old Loftus-Davis lease, and this
territory will be further explored by
raises driven to connect with the
old lease slopes.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-09-01

The Yellow Pine has been a
heavy producer and a big dividend
payer for years past, and even with
out the remarkable orebody opened
up by the 110O-foot north drift on
the 700 level, would be a great mine
with large ore reserves.
1t should be remembered that
when Manager Fred A. Hale, Jr.,
first laid out the work of running
the 1100-foot north drift on the 0
level, the result of the work so far
as opening ore in new ground was
problematical. However, there were
hopes, based upon Mr.. Hale's knowl-
edge of the faulting systems of the
mine, gained through years of ex-
perience and observation, hat ore
might be found in the unexplored
territory to the north of the older
workings.
When the drift had reached the
proper location, a raise was made to
connect with the workings on the
800 sublevel to expedite the hand
his vi VIC thCiCB oitCA "hASA
Mr.. Hale continued his explorations
of the ground on the 700 level.
From a point near the end of the
110O-foot drift, he continued the
work, driving about 100 feet north
and 100 feet east, and there his
hopes were realized when the drift
encountered ore. For a distance OF
% feet the drift continued to cross
cut the ore, finally reaching what
was supposed to be the foot wall.
but which a further advance proved
not to be such, the real thickness of
the orebody still being a matter of
conjecture.
The next move was to run a drift
with the strike of the %orebody. To
the south this continued in ore for
a distance of rs feet, where it seems
to be cut off by a fault. To the
north they have run about rs feet
and are still all in ore, making the
known length north and south of
the orebody at this time at least 100
feet.
AS to the depth below the 700
level to which this orebody extends,
that is again of curse at this time a
matter of conjecture, but the man
agement is now running a drift on
the 9OO-foot level with every eXpec-
tation of again cutting this great
orebody.

FOOD SUPPLIES
SURVEY STARTS AT ONCE TO
DETERMINE AVAILABLE
FOODSTUFFS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 80
The government is to take stock of
the nations food supply.
In order that the president, con-
gress and the other officials of the
government may be able to base
needed action on a knowledge OF
what the national larder contains,
and how it measures up to the needs
of the millions Of breakfast, dinner
and supper tables of the nation, the
United States department of agricul-
ture will begin Immediately to make
a quick survey of available foods and
feeds throughout the country.
This will cover supplies on the
farms, in factories and commercial
stores and warehouses, in retail
shops and on the shelves and in the
bins of the family pantry. The work
will be carried on principally by the
bureau of markets, the bureau of
crop estimates, the bureau of chem
istry, the states relations service of
the department, with funds appro-
priated for the purpose in the re-
Gently enacted food production bill.
The survey is to be made as of the
date, Aug. 81, and it is expected that
statistics on the amounts of certain
important products can be supplied
within three or four weeks after
the food survey is begun.
In carrying out the nationwide
food survey both actual inventories
and estimates will be employed. Es-
Inmates of the food and feed prod
ucts on farms will be made for the
whole country by the bureau of crop
estimates, through $4,000 picked CO.
operators in the field.

Horse Breeding in England to
Receive Attention After War

In view of the demand that this
war is making on the worlds supply
of horses, and the many that are be-
ing killed or rendered useless for
any purpose, even agricultural, a cor
respondent of the Manchester Eng
land) Guardian has recently made an
interesting study of the nations
horses and has written a report on
the subject. The facts shown indi-
cate that every possible encourage
ment will be given after the war to
the continued breeding of the Eng
lish thoroughbred horse.
The writer of the article stated:
Before the wal probably there was
no industry in which England and
Ireland had become more convinc-
ingly pre-eminent than that of breed
ing blooded stock. 1t is not too
much to say that our thoroughbreds,
taken collectively, were the envy of
all the continental powers. who for a
century or more had endeavored to
rival our breed. They followed the
English plan in arranging their races
and founded their own stud-books.
From time to time they purchased
the pick of English horses in the
hope that they would become indie
pendent of this country. The breed
ing of blooded stock with generous
financial support was. engaged in on
a large scale, yet they had not wrest-
ed the supremacy from this country,
and they weer obliged often to re-
plenish their stock from this country.
Buyers from the continent and
elsewhere abroad were always con-
s%picuous at the great public sales
at Newmarket, and the rivalry there
exhibited did much to bring the in
dustry here to a condition of unex-
ampled prosperity.
Three years ago our high-class
thoroughbred sires had so greatly
increased in value that the foreign
buyer could not expect to purchase
an imported winner for less than 90
600 pounds C$97,33O), and a class
ical winner commanded even more

than that. Craganour sold for So
600 pounds ($145.995) to an Argen-
tine breeder.
Other very high prices also were
paid for Cyliene, Polar Star, Dia-
mond Jubilee and Your Majesty on
their shipment to the River Plate. A
French breeder bought Flying Fox
at auction for the record sum of
$1,000 guineas 1871, 61S), and a
foreign government vas willing to
pay 10000 pounds S194,6SO) for

Italy owned a number of the English
Derby and classical winners. The
United States also possessed a num-
Der of valuable English sires. SINH
larly. thoroughbred brood mares of
approved classes were being bought
on a large scale by foreigners. In
the year before the war, at the De-
the amazing sum of POSSESS guineas
C~$1,577,1S3,, a considerable portion
of that total being directly due to
the active bidding of foreign agents.
Our supremacy in this direction
had not been built up quickly. In
the days of the Roman empire the
native horse of England was ~extolled
for it's staying power and speed. The
importation of eastern stations and
mares, which began shortly after the
crusades and was of a notable char
acter during the reigns of James
and Charles II, impaired new quail
ties to the native stock.
Racing began to develop strongly
early in the 18th century, and in
1850 the Jockey club was establish
ed at Newmarket. 1t was not un-
til 40 years later that Matherby pub
lished the first volume of the Gener-
al Stud-book, but since that day the
interests of the breed have been
strictly safeguarded. There can not
be any admission to the stud-book
unless a proper pedigree is unques-
tionably established.

YELLOW PINE PROPERTY SHOWS
RICH DEPOSITS At GREAT Depth

However this orebody may proye
t go in depth, it is now we'll dem
onstrated that it is continuous up to
the 800 sub-level. A raise, entirely
in the ore, has now reached a point
so feet above the 700 level and lacks
only about so feet of connecting
with a winze being sunk from the
it is practically certain that the ore
is continuous through the interven-
ing ground, the ore above and below
being identical in character.
1t would be idle speculation to at
tempt an estimate of the ore ton
mage now developed in this portion
of the mine. At the rate at which
the drift on the 9O0-foot level is
progressing, it will reach the zone
in which this ore lies next Decem-
Der. But leaving hat entirely out
of consideration, it is certain that
there is sufficient ore now in sight
in this one orebody to keep the
mill running at capacity for several
years to ONE
A noteworthy feature of this pre-
body is it's very high values in lead
and an amount of silver unusual in
this section of the country. This fea-
ture is of the greatest Importance
at this time by reason of the fact
that the prices of both lead and sill
yer are unusually high. In silver
this ore carries on an average rs to
80 to the tom. In lead, about
20 per cent, and zinc, about 80 per
cent. This is the average ore as
delivered at the mill.
In mining this ore there is prac-
tically no waste to handle. Owing
to the great size of the body, every
thing broken down goes through
the mill, and the mill is kept run-
ming at the present time almost en-
tirely on ore being taken out in the
attempt to define the limits of the
orebody.
In other portions of the mine, the
development work is continually
opening new ore in virgin territory,
of a tonnage on an equality with
the production of the mine for the
past two or three years. On the
600 south level indications are very
favorable for another large new ore
body, and work is being steadily
prosecuted with that end in view

REVIEW OF MINING

Continued From Page One)
of great width end broken in places
by cross faults of the character u.s.
ually associated here with rich ore
bodies. In the northern part OF
the property development work con-
tinues to expose ore of shipping
grade in considerable quantity, nov
proved over a wide area, and assur-
ance is not wanting that this ground
will ultimately produce a large ton
mage of highly profitable ore.
Red Hill Florence
Developments of the greatest in
terest and apparently of the first i'm
portance have taken place in the
Red Hill Florence mine recently. On
the 500-foot level the main drift has
been showing a full face of a COM
mercial ore of almost shipping grade,
and during the past week two rails
es, at a height of about so feet above
this level, have exposed ore of ship
ping quality in substantial volume.
This ore has been yielding average
assays of from SIS to $31 per ton
and the showing is said to have i'm
proved in marked degree as develop
ment work has progressed. The ore
is exposed neal a line running north
and south from the shaft and nearly
above, on the dip of the big vein,
some of the richest deposits found in
the adjoining Florence territory.
Cracker Jack Mine
At a depth of 800 feet the east
cross-cut of the Cracker Jack is
apparently about to penetrate the
Rabbit Trait vein, for which it has
been extended. This cross-cut has
passed through the main Columbia
Mountain fault vein, at a point
where there is a fault of large ex-
tent, and two drifts extending south
from the cross-cut have both eX-
posed ore of commercial grade,
containing gold, silver, copper and
zinc. These developments are of
particular interest in view of the
fact that large bodies of excellent
milling ore have been exposed at a
point corresponding, on the up
ward incline of the vein, at a depth
of 120 feet, The property is said
to be in better shape than at any
time in the past.
Great Bend Mine
One of the most important devel-
opments of recent months appears
to have been made lately in the
Great Bend mine, at a depth of 100
feet. A new raise from the main
east drift, started at a point over
80 feet beyond the eastern extrem-
ity of the big main stope at this
level, has exposed and continued in
ore of high grade. A recent samp-
ling of the vein here showed two
feet of ore assaying $5O7 per ton.
