LEGISLATION WILL
 NOT BE, COMPLETE
Program Cannot E Disposed of Before Congress
 Passes Into History.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Most of th| administrations program of genera legislation probably will not be enI acted before adjournment of congres| next Sunday, it appeared today.
 Leaders were even a bit anxiouI about the revenue measure and thI army navy and other appropriatio1 bills, because of the unusual ,legislal tive congestion caused largely by thI republican filibuster on the revenuI bill, which ended Saturday mid- night
 Legislation generally believed tl have no chance of passage included railroad labor, flood control, conserva| tion, corrupt practices, public build| ings and national preparedness.
 Extreme doubt was expressed ovei the fate of bills to amend the fedI eral reserve act, enlarged powers td the shipping board and provide severd penalties for espionage. A lump sum allowance will be substituted for the pending rivers and harbors itemized appropriation bill, it is believed
 Prohibition in the District of Col umbia and measures, relating to the food situation, particularly the $4O0,- 900 appropriation for a federal trade commission investigation will be watched with special interest when they come up this week
 Whether President Wilson will call a special session of the sixty-fiftl, congress is entirely a matter of specu- lation.

lean strike -breaking methods were
used for the first time in Australia
during the general strike of $4,000
men against the American Taylor

August in New South Wales. But
there was this difference, here it was
done not by corporation but by the
government of the state. and the
strike -breakers were volunteers-m
and women-some, of whom refused
to accept the pay offered. Rural
residents flocked to Sydney by the
hundreds and the situation became
practically one Of the country against
the city.
Leaders of the strike were prose-

headed by the Acting Premier George
w. Fuller. Some Of them are await

race as a Democratic candidate for

before the Norwalk city council that
he had withdrawn and would under

was the most likely candidate for the

he would resign as mayor if elected to
congress.
Mayor Donovan quelched all beliefs
last night when he said: "I will per-

oath and will devote my entire time
to that office, although it would be a
great honor to have the chance to

OLD TIME RESIDENT
RENEWING FRIENDSHIPS

J.. A. Irving, a resident of Gold
field for six years previous to seven
years ago, accompanied by his wife,
is renewing old acquaintance in
our midst. They are guests of the
Goldfield.
Mr.. Irving, since leaving here has
been experimenting a mining pro-
perty at Casapalca, Peru, controlled
by the American firm of Backus 4
Johnson. Forty mines are controlled
and the total production averages
1000, 900 pounds of copper and sill
YER monthly, or an estimated out
put of about 100000. The bull
lion is marketed in the United
States exclusively. This mine is
the second largest in Peru and has
been a constant producer for many
years.
Indignation among the Ameri-
cans in Peru regarding the action
of Germany in sinking neutral and
other ships, is far stronger than in
the United States" said Mr.. Irving.
Even the ~native-born citizens have
protested the wantless destruction
and Peru can be depended upon to
aid the United States at the proper
time. There is an unusually friend
ly feeling existing between the two
countries, and this friendliness is
rapidly becoming more pronounced
Mr.. Irving has a host of friends
in Goldfield, and it was our good
pleasure to meet him in company
with Tim Connolly, the well-known
mining man who is now operating
at Hornsilver.

DRY CONCENTRATION

The Fredrickson group, under the
management of Frank O'Kelly, is
making steady and satisfactory
progress. The dry process mill is
regularly operated and is very sue
cessful in separating the lead-silver
contents of the ore from the zinc,
producing a h~igh-grade shipping
product of each. The mill is To-
Gated at the collar of the shaft, re-
icing to the minimum the cost
of ore handling.
In addition to the mill and hoist,
the property is equipped with COM
pressor and machine drills. Sink
ing is going or steadily in the main
incline shaft and the ore bodies
are being developed in the drifts.
The property is a steady shipper.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN
HAS MILLING PLANT
ANTHONY AND SILVER MINES
COMPANY TO TREAT
LOW-GRADE

]. II. S~tallings, manager of the
Anthony and Silver Mines COM
pany came in from Galena this week
and reports that the installation of
the company's sixty-ton amalgama-
ton and concentration mill is pro-
crossing favorably. The mill build
ing is complete and the big Den
yer mill is set. Foundations are in
readiness for the engine, crusher
and other equipment which are now
enroute and daily expected to ar
rive at Battle Mountain.
The company's holdings consist
of three separate groups, but most
development work has been done
in the gold-silver deposit, described
by Mr.. Stallings as a mountain OF
ORE" Recent development has
blocked out approximately one thou
sand IONS showing values from SIS
to $40 per ton. A crosscut of more
than one hundred feet has not yet
encountered the hanging-wall, and
a stope started at the end of this
crosscut shows 1920 gold and sill
YER values. The mill being erected
is designed to treat these ores, and
a test run is expected to be made
this month.
A trial shipment Of high-grade
anthony ore has recently been
made from the fifty-foot level Of
the antimony shaft and a consid-
cradle tonnage of milling grade has
been developed. 1t is planned to
treat the low-grade antimony ores
in the milling plan and to produce
a high-srade concentrate.
The third group is a gold-silver
and lead-copper prospect, where a
vein showing shipping grade ores in
small quantities has been encount-
cred, and a vigorous campaign on
this group is assured.
These combined properties are re-
garded among the best and most
dependable producers of Galena
canyon, and the possibilities were
readily appreciated by o. W. French,
Grant Y. Bullock and others OF
Coalville, Utah, who made an ex-
animation some months go. These
gentlemen Immediately secured a
substantial interest in the company
and Messrs. French and Bullock
were elected directors. A. j. Weber,
president and j. A. %Stallings, secre-
tary-treasurer, are residents of Salt
Lake, and manager j. H. Stallings,
formerly of Salt Lake is happy to
claim Battle Mountain as his home.
