A. H. Bernsch connected with the Goodday-Erickson mine in the New Weaver mining district, while engag- ed in cranking the automobile belong ing to the Tidal Wave Mining com pany, which is operating in the same district, suffered a broken wrist when the engine kicked back. The accident occurred early last week and MT. Bernsch came to Chloride for medi- cal treatment. He will be forced to rest for the next month or two, dur ing which time he will visit his rela- tives near San Francisco.
 The Old Weaver mine, according to MT. Bernsch, has come in for much interest on account of the discovery of a vein of ore two and one-half feet in width that assays from 300 to 1000 ounces silver per ton. A ship ment is soon to be made by the for tunate leasers who expect to realize a handsome profit from thelr labors from now on.
 The Tidal Wave shaft is being sunk to greater depth, with very en- couraging results. Very rich ore was discovered last summer on the surface of this property by the original loca- tors, Lee Mccoy and Tom Accord, who just closed out their interests to San Francisco capitalists.
 The New Weaver district is 28 miles north of Chloride and is known as a highgrade quicksilver section. All that it seems to lack to bring it into high favor is a little capital, but as this is creeping in now, more favorable showings may be expected most any time.

In the face of the drift being run south toward the Tennessee line on the 24O-foot level of the New Ten nessee, fully six feet of mineralizzed vein matter, with about IS inches to two feet similar to the ore encounter ed in the shaft which assayed S62 per ton in gold and three ounces in silver, has been opened up at a point about 25 feet from the shaft. Assays have not been made of the material, the management intending to wait an- other day or two to see what it dew elops into.
 This drift will be driven perhaps 5 to 6 feet farther to see what lies beyond the present face and then will resume sinking to the 500 foot level Two shafts are employed, but when sinking is resumed this force will pro- bably be increased.

The Rattlesnake has a carload of ore in the bins. This ore has a value of about S60 per ton and will pay handsome returns even though ship ped to the Selby shelter, where the New Mohawk is sending it's ore. The RattlesnaBe ore runs well in gold, sil- yer and lead and there are places in the vein where IS inches of the ore will average $1OO per ton in those three metals.
 The Rattlesnake shaft is down ap- proximately 160 feet on the vein and much of the ore that will go out in this first carload has been taken from the lowest level. At the present time there is IS inches of highgrade in the north drift. The south drift which has had little ore worthy of mention previously is now breaking into a good oreshoot of the same grade as exists in the North drift.

 W. P. (Billy) Mackay is back from a trip to Chicago, New York and other eastern financial centers. His stay there was cut short by the serious ill., ness of his mother in Spokane, Wash, where he hastened after receiving word of her condition.
 His rheumatism has improved very greatly and unless he has a setback he will soon be quite normal again.
 He is heavily interested in the New Mohawk and was greatly pleased when told by the HERALD corespon- dent about the flowery condition of that property, where highgrade ruby silver ore is being found on the 150- foot level of No. 2 shaft.

35 divisions (525,00 men) and with
drew 27 (405,00O mem on account of
losses. The custom of the German
general staff is to withdraw division
when it's losses are from 1000 to 1900
men. Figuring the losses of the 27
divisions withdrawn at 2, 500 each, the
total German casualties for this cam
paign would be $500.
In the same period along the Somme
