MATERIAL OF GOOD
VALUE

"
A meeting was held in Goldfield
on Tuesday, at the Office OF the
S~pearhead Gold Mining Company
Reorganized, for the purpose OF dis
solving and winding up the busi-
ness of the old corporation, Inc
S~pearhead Gold Mining company,
out of which the present company
was evolved. The meeting was at
by George Kernick, president of b
company; A. A. Codd, secretary,
and H. F. Bruce, one of the d1rec-
tors and superintendent of the pro-
perty here.
The affairs of the company are re-
ported by officials to be in excellent
condition. The authorized CAPT
tai stock amounts to 100000
shares and of this total 100000
shares have been issued and $780,
600 shares remain in the treasury.
The stock is assessable and an assess
ment was called recently, to which
a liberal response was made by the
stockholders, and the company has
funds in hand for continuous de-
velopment work on a comprehensive
scale.
Under Superintendent Bruce's di-
rection a large amount of develop
ment work has been accomplished
during the recent months and the
results of this work have been of a
most encouraging character. On the
910-foot level, where the main shaft
penetrated the shale contact zone,
drifts have progressed approximate
ly $50 feet north and 10 feet
east of the shaft in highly mineral
lied material. This quartz zone
averages 20 feet in thickness and
has been found to contain some
good ore, but no deposit that a
be mined p%rofitably has been ex-
posed. For a considerable distance
the north drift has followed a four
foot vein of ore yielding average
assays of from Sc to So per ton in
gold and copper, containing small
seams of material hat assay up to
$40 per ton. A large bowlder of
gold-copper was found in this work,
broken samples from which assay
ed as high as $50 per ton. All
conditions in this zone appear
favorable for the deposition of the
metals in commercial quantity and
the officers of the company, all of
whom are experienced mining men,
are greatly encouraged.
On the 450-foot level a drift was
extended far to the north, for TIL
purpose of exploring the malF
Spearhead-G Grandma vein below the
old Wheeler lease workings, where
some ore of high-grade was discov-
cred by the lessees on the 25O-foot
level. After extending the drift to
the north, to a point west of the
old workings, a cross-cut was driven
east to reach the vein and the ma
terial now showing in the breast of
the cross-cut is regarded as indi-
cative of the near approach to the
vein.
The exploration of the Spearhead
property at depth is proving of the
greatest interest to mining men of
the Goldfield district, as it is cal
culated to result in the solution of
geological problems affecting this
entire region. Through this work
there will be gained valuable know
ledge relating to the position and
dip of the shale in adjacent pro-
perties and the character and trend
of ~ore-bearing zones, all of which
will greatly benefit the surround
ing territory. Three shifts of miners
are making rapid progress with the
company's development work.

LESSEES SHIP GOOD ORE

Lessees operating on the Florence
property are reported to be ex-
tracing some ore of high grade
and not less than a half-dozen are
said to be realizing substantial pro-
fits from their work. All leases
are restricted to points above the
6OO-foot level and for the most part
the work is in and near old slopes
and drifts on the main levels.

Embassy Relief or Americans Strand ed in Germany at Wars
 Beginning

With the exception of Mir Wolff, who was, however quite busy with his own affairs, I had no American committee such as was organized in London and Paris to help me in Berlin. In Munich, however, the Americans there organized themselves into an efficient committee.
 MT. and Mrs. Ralph Pulitzer were in Berlin and immediately went to work in our embassy. MT. Pulitzer busied himself at giving out passports and Mrs. Pulitzer proved herself a very efficient worker. She and Mrs Ruddock wife of our third secretary, and Mrs Gherardi, wife of the naval attache, with Mrs. Gerard, formed a sort of relief committee to look after the Americans who were without help or resources.
 l arranged, with the very efficient help of Lanier Winslow, for special trains to carry the Americans in Ger many to Holland. Trains were run from Switzerland, Munich and Carls- bad across Germany to Holland and from Berlin were run a number of trains to Holland.
 The first room on entering the embassy was the ticket office, and
  ward Captain Fenton sold tickets giv- ing tickets free to those who were certified to be without funds by Mrs. Pulitzer and Mrs. Gerard's commit
 "i -Umm'rtee worked on the second floor of the embassy, in the ballroom, part of it being rOped off to keep the crowds back from the ladies.
 Each week I bought a number Of steerage passages from the Holland America line and the ladies resold them in the ballroom. We had to do this because the Holland America line had no license to sell steerage tickets in Germany but by buying two or three hundred at a time direct from the company l was enabled to peddle them out in our ballroom to those Americans who in their eagerness to reach their own country were willing to endure the discomforts of travel ill the steerage.
 Caring for Americans Leaving
 Germany
 Winslow accompanied one special train to Holland, and l must say that 1 sympathiZed with him when I learned of what he had to do in the way of chasing lost baggage and finding milk for crying babies.
 These special trains were started from the Charlottenburg station, in a quiet part of Berlin, so that no crowd was attracted by the departure of the Americans.
 The Carlsbad train went through very successfully, taking the Ameri- cans who had been shut up in Carls- bad since the commencement of the war.
 Meeting of Sympathy for Americans
 One of the curious developments of this time was a meeting of sympathy for Americans stranded in Germany, held in the town hall of Berlin on August Il. This meeting was com menced in one of the meeting rooms of the town hall, but so many people attended that we were compelled to adjourn to the great hall. There speeches were made by the Over BurgOmaster, VOn Gwinner, Professor vOn Harnack, and by me. Another professor, who spoke excellent Eng fish with an English accent. made q bitter attack upon England. In the pamphlet in which the speeches of
Arizona republican., 1917-09-05

Harnack and the Over -Burgomastel were published this professors speecl was left out. In his speech, statlna the object of the meeting, the Over Burgomaster said:
 Since we hear that large
 number of American citizens in
 the German Empire, and especial
 ly in Berlin, find themselves in
 embarrassments due to the shut
 ting off of means of return to
 their own country, we here sol
 emnly declare it to be our duty
 to care for them as brethren to
 the limit of our ability, and we
 appeal to all citizens of Berlin
 and the whole of the German
 Empire to cooperate with us to
 this end.
 Professor von Harnack is one ol the ablest of the German professors He is head of the Royal Library in Berlin. In his speech he gave OK pression to the feeling that was prev alent in the first days of the war that Germany was defending itself against q Russian invasion which threatened to blot out the German Kultur. He said, after referring to western civilization:
 But in the face of this civiliza-
 tion there arises now before my
 eyes another civilization, the civ
 iliZation of the tribe, with it's
 patriarchal organization, the civ
 ilizatiun of the horde that is
 gathered and kept together by
 despots-the MongOlian Muscovite
 civilization. This civilization
 could not endure the light of the
 eighteenth century, still less the
 light of the nineteenth century,
 and now in the twentieth century
 it breaks loose and threatens us.
 This unorganized Asiatic mass,
 like the desert with it's sands,
 wants to gather up our fields of
 grain
 Nothing was done fer the Americans stranded in Germany y the Germans with the exception of the arrange ments for the payment of funds by the Dresdner Bank on the letters ot credit and the dispatching of special trains by the railroad department oi the German government. As d mattel of fact, nothing more could have been required of the Germans, as it was naturally the duty of the American government to take care of it's citizens stranded abroad.
 Almost the instant that war w.s declared I cabled to our government suggesting that q ship should be seni over with gold, because, of course with gold, no matter what the ooun try, necessaries can always be bought I:amors of the dispatch of the Ten nessee and of'other ships from Amer ica reached Berlin, ard q great num- Der of the more Ignorant American. got to believe that these ships were Leing sent over to take American: home.

 In spite of repeated advice to leave many Americans insisted on remain ing in Germany. Few of them were ~siness people, there were many songbirds. piano players and students.

For example, one woman and her daughter refused to leave when advised, but stayed on and ran up bills for over 10000 marks. ard as arrest for debt exists In Ger many they could not leave when they finally decided to go.

On August 23 Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge, who had come from America on the warship Tennes- see. bringing gold with him and a certain number of army officers, ar rived in Berlin and took over our relief organization in so far as it applied to the repatriation of Amer jeans, housing it in rooms hired in nearby hotel, the Kaiserhof This commission was composed of Majors J. A. Ryan, J. H. Ford and G. w. Martin, and Captains Miller and Fen ton, but the relief committee and the banking office were still continued in the embassy ballroom
 bulletin was published under the auspices of the American Association of Commerce and Trade, and the ad- vice therein given was that all Ameri- cans having the means to leave should do so when the opportunity for leav- ing by special trains was presented and to proceed direct to London, whence they might obtain transpor- tation to the United States. All Americans without means were direct ed to apply to the relief commission, which was authorized to pay for the transportation and subsistence of stranded Americans in order to enable them to return home

TEN PLEAD GUILTY;
 ONE GETS 21 YEAR }

Of the 26 persons indicted at taa recent session of the grand jury, 10 pleaded guilty yesterday before criminal court. Sheriff Williams was, aware that 8 would enter this plea and went to the jail to bring them forth. At once, two more join cd the ranks and the sheriff led the ten before the court. The offenders with their crimes and sentences are as follows:
 Lee Ensley, Jim Henderson. Will Can't, John Pierson, Robert Moore, Jim Burks, Rob,rt Davis and Ed Bunkley, all grand 'arceny, sentenced to one year.
 Stanley Latting confessed to boot logging and received one year.
 With Ike Turner the crime was far more serious. Turner had killed Henry Lee, and the charge against him was murder. He entered a plea of guilty of murder in the second de- gree. Prosecuting Attorney Parham felt that the punishment under this plea could be made to fit the charac- ter of the crime, there were some mitigating circumstances connected with it, and, saving the state the ex- pense of the trial, accepted the plea with the consent of the court. Fur ner's punishment was then fixed at 21 years.
