La Toilette Would Bar Guns.


Continuing his opposition TO Presi-
dent Wilson's policy in breaking with
Germany Senator r. NJ La Toilette
has introduced "a Joint resolution pro
yidml "That 10 shall be unlawful. at
q time when the United States is not
at war, for any merchant vessel OF
the United States 70 be armed, and TO
depart from port OF the United
States or any Of its territories or pos
sessions. for a port of any other coun-
try. It's colonies or possessions"
10 is indicated that the navy depart
meut, while opposed for military rea-
sons TO any project of conveying Amer
Jean merchantmen. fayors furnishing
such ships with guns for their own
defense. In as much as the severn
ment has recognized that naval stores
are the only supply of naval guns, it
has been held that obtaining guns
from that source does not alter the
private or commercial character OF
ship
The enforced idleness Of the Amer
lean merchant fleet is viewed with
growing disQujet, and the general view
here is that not only the export trade
but the nations standing before the
world demands that American vessels
continue TO ply the high seas without
regard 10 the German proclamation.

CHAIRMAN BAKER SAYS

try school districts made fine rec

The reports from all the school
districts in Josephine county are in

very faithful work. Many OF the dis
tricts have reported from 80 to 100
per cent. In most all OF the towns
and country school districts less
per cent OF people refused to sign
than In the city OF Grants Pass. The
reason for some of the districts fall
ing down in per cent was because of
the distance some families lived
from the school district. which made
1t next to impossible to see them. As
an example, take district OF 20
families and If one OF these families

NEW VEIN CUT
ON White CAPS
ENCOUNTERED ON WEST FOuK
FORTY FOOT LEVEL AND
CARRIES VOLUME

There was general rejoicing
among shareholders in the White
Caps yesterday when they learned
that a sample Of the ore taken from
the general face OF the west ore
body on the 400-foot lever returned
values of $500 per ton. Several
DAYS ago, when an official announce
ment of finding the west ore body
was made, it was predicted that by
Thursday a rich streak would be
encountered. The values are high
err than the management had ex-
pected.
A raise has been started on the
west end of the east ore body, for
the 800 level, and a sample of the
ore assayed yesterday returned a
value of $185 per ton.
Superintendent Cole phoned in at
1880 o'clock last evening that the
west ore body continues to look
very encouraging. 1t is the opin-
ion of the management that the
west ore body will prove larger and
richer than on the 800 level.-To-
nopah Times.

CONTINUES SHIPMENTS

producers of the district, is making
a grand record as a consistent ship

property has shipped "a cars of lead
and zinc, the lead assaying &C to
70 per cent and the zinc AZ per cent.
Four ears of ore per month with a
comparatively small force of men
and the smelter controls running
into high grade needs no further
comment. The Ingomar this month
will ship six cars of this high-grade
ore and it is a fact that they have
only two men working or ore. With
the new tram working smoothly, the
development work hat is planned

which they have purchased, and u

There is a large mineralized zone

is a small seam of high grade. This
will be followed down by Mr.. Maris,
who believes that he will be able to

ROCHESTER,, New, April g.
Because of the great pubic interest
that is being manifested in reports
of operations of the Rochester Com
bined Mines company, headed by l..
A. Friedman, president of the Ro-
chester Mines company, l recently
made a thorough inspection of the
property and found the showing of
ore to be N of the greatest mill
ing propositions it has ever been
my pleasure to examine.
Accompanied by superintendent
Wilkie and j. G. Bray, mining en-
gineers of the company, I went
through the workings and was by
as to the values hat have been de-
veloped. There is a scene of bust
ling activity apparent that is ac-
complishing rapid progress in de-
velopment and construction. Five
machine drills, run by a Chicago
Pneumatic company compressor, are
in operation, and another compress
sor of six-drill capacity is being
installed, these to be augmented
within the near future by another,

lower than the Shepherd No. l
tunnel, in which the enriched for
nation has been crosscut for over
40 feet, only a small section be-
tween the 1O7 and 125-foot points
being below pay values. Across
this wide area assays range from
four to 16 ounces silver, except near
the hanging-wall, where the values
range from Is to As ounces along
the drift which has been driven
nearly $50 feet. On the day of
my visit, Superintendent Wilkie in
formed me that the entire face of
the drift sampled % ounces sill
yer. For the purpose of blocking
out and proving up the ore more
definitely, a crosscut is soon to be
driven from this drift about $50
feet south of the present crosscut
that has failed to develop a foot
wall during it's progress of 40
feet.
This ore has now been encounter
ed in the main working tunnel,
which was driven nearly 200 feet
in less than one month, n the
values are about the same as on

GOLDFIELD FATHER
GETS GOOD NEWS

Mr.. C. L. Huntley, of the local

has received a copy of a Pittsburg
paper announcing the fact that his
son, Theodore A. Huntley, has been
appointed secretary to Congressman
Guy f. Campbell, of the 32nd on
gressional district of Pennsylvania.
The young man was recently pro-
NOTED to the position of night edi-
Tor of the Pittsburg Post, after hav-
ing served for several years in
newspaper work in Chicago, in Bill
ings, Montana, and at Sheridan,
Wyoming. His ambition is to enter
the legal profession and his recent
appointment to a position at Wash
ington will enable him to do what
many other young men have sue
cessfully done, attend law school
at night and perform his sectional
duties during the day.
