HIGHLAND MARY
MAKING OUTPUT
GORDON AND MCLAUGHLIN MAX
ING STEADY SHIPMENTS
SILVER-LEAD ORE

A shipment of fifteen tons of ore
will go forward early this week to
the smelter from the Gordon and
Mclaughlin lease on the Highland
Mary lode. The values in the ore
are principally silver and lead, and
this shipment is made purposely as
a test to find the lowest grade
value that will pay to ship in
bulk as broken in the stope without
sorting and much handling. The
orebody continues strong in the
stope and carries a high percentage
of lead in the form of galena car
Donates and cerusite.
The streak of bromvrite ore re-
Gently struck on the hanging-wall
side has developed to eight inches
in width and grows wider as the
stope is continued. This streak runs
high in silver values and is being
mined separately. A winZe is put
down in the vein forty feet and will
be continued to a depth of seventy
five feet, below the 300-foot level
when levels will be driven on either
side and stopping from this level
will commence.-Austin Reveille.

The courts of the United States

W|NNEMUCCA NINE
HAS GOOD SHOWING
MACHINERY BEING INSTALLED
TO PERMIT OF ENLARG-
ED OPERATIONS

While very little has been said
during the past week IN regard to
development and operations at the
Winnemucca Mountain Mining COM
pany's property, nevertheless there
is considerable doing at the Bon
ANA and ReXall mines. The COM
pany has recently had the snow re-
moved from the road that connects
the ReXall and Bonanza mines and
today a 70-horsepower compressor
and engine is being moved to the
former property. The management
has arranged to send the shaft on
the Rexall down to greater depth
and in a few days hosting equip
ment will be installed there.
At the Bonanza end Of the pro-
perty extensive development work
is being done. Drifting is being
prosecuted on the 100-foot level,
where an extraordinary rich strike
of ore was made a short time ago.
On the 200-foot level a drift is be-
ing pushed ahead to cut the ore
shoot that was opened on the 100
foot level. A change in the for
nation indicates hat the shoot may
be encountered OF this level at any
time.-Winnemucca Star.

WILL LOOK FOR
RECRUITS HERE
ARMY MAN IS EXPECTED TO AR
RIVE HERE TOMOR-
ROW

Corporal Ray Trippel, a United
States army recruiting officer, who
was in Goldfeld a few weeks ago, is
expected to return here tomorrow
night. He will come from Las Vegas
and remain two or three days.
While here he will have flags
erected at the postoffice and will ac-
cept men for any branch of service
in the army.
Recruiting officers now have
splendid opportunities to offer young
men who enter the army, especially
those who join the aviation section
of the signal corps. Young men join
ing that section secure a $1,000
curse in aviation and get paid for
learning it. Excellent opportunities
are also offered in other branches
of the service.
There is immediate need of young
men of all trades for service in the
quartermaster's corps.
Corporal Trippel is thoroughly
conversant with details of all
branches of the service and is es-
pecially fitted to explain to pros
pective recruits the branches of the
service for which they are best fit
ted and the proper section for them
to enter to be successful and OBJ
tain rapid promotion.
The San Francisco recruiting sta
ton has about rs men engaged in
recruiting in it's district, which in
cludes Nevada, but new stations are
being opened so rapidly that there
is a scarcity of experienced re-
cruiting men. Corporal Trippel is
one of the most experienced men now
engaged in recruiting from the San
Francisco office. He is a young man
and is particularly well qualified to
talk to other young men who desire
to join the army.

CHEEFO SHOWING
SLOWLY IMPROVING
NATIONAL NINE GIVES PRO-
MISE OF BECOMING HEAVY
PRODUCER

f. r. O'Leary, well-known min
ing engineer, returned Saturday
from a trip to National. He states
that the camp is taking on new
life and that developments there
are proving the existence of good
ore on properties other than those
on Charleston hill, where some of
the state was produced in quantity.
While good ore is being exposed on
a number of claims, yet, says Mr..
O'Leary, the greatest showing is on
what is known as the Cheefoo,
of the holdings Of the J.. l.. Work.
man estate which is under lease to
N. P. r. Hatch, one of the pioneer
operators in the great camp.
The new development work being
accomplished On this property is
opening a body of fine ore in a
ledge that has all the earmarks Of
making into a permanent mine.
The principal development on the
lease consists of a tunnel which cut
the ledge about 400 feet from the
portal and it is at this point where
the present work is going on. The
vein has a width of from five to six
feet and shows good ore from wall
to wall. Samples of the ore assayed
a few days ago, said Mr.. O'Leary,
showed values as high as $3.50 to
the ton in silver. Mr.. Hatch, he
says, is elated over the prospects
and is pushing a winze down on
the vein.-Humboldt Star.

escape. They are merely ostra-
cized from society. or exiled; the
proposition closely resembles the
methods once employed by the Eng
lish in sending prisoners to Aus
tralia. The only material differ
ence was that Siberia in parts is
very cold, while Australia in parts
is very dry and arid.
THE prisoners who are sent to
the sulphur mines in Siberia, of
which we hear such tales of lash
ing and inhuman treatment, are
whom the %severest measures are re-
quired. Even then they are not
treated nearly so badly as one
would imagine from the reports of
social reformers.
Russia is a wonderful country.
1t has produced world characters in
music. art, invention, and litera-
ture. Count Tolstoi is known the
world over. Pavolwa is renowned
for her aesthetic dances. Scarcely
less famous are men and women
who have excelled in other
branches.
THE products of this vast do
main are sufficient to support hun
dreds of millions of inhabitants. No
other country in the world produces
so much sulphur, wheat and cattle.
The p~lateaus of Siberia are rich in
mineral deposits. The southern
section is very fertile.
LAS a nation. it has a future
second to no other. The develop
ment of its wonderful is
merely a matter of political read
justment, the establishment of free
schools. and the solution of the
other problems existing in a half
exploited country. The people are
ignorant and W of their pos
sessions at the present time, be-
cause in past years it has been pos
sible for them to obtain education
only through paying prices which
were at best prohibitive. This has
made education a luxury and a
thing for the rich. The people of
Russia are awakening. Education
is much more easily accessible;
free schools are starting: oppor-
tunities are more available. and
the country is on the verge of an
era which in the lifetime of present
generations will see the greatest
progress ever made by any one
country in the history of the
world"
