Letters From a Soldier Boy.
FRANCE, June 18th, |!

FRANCE, June 18th, 1917.
have been too busy to do much
writing, and, even though / have
time, am at a loss what to say. No
doubt much have already written
has been struck out.
We left our very pleasant billets in
England and travelled third class to
the port OF emharkment; arrived
there the next morning very weary,
as no sleep was to be had on the
train.
We stayed around the docks all
that day and put out to sea in the
evening. The passage was none too
comfortable, but we at least had a
chance to lie down. 4 life belt, nc
matter how small, is not conducive to
peaceful sleep, and you may be sure I
wore mine until the old "mud hook''
went down and we knew the channel
had been safely crossed.
Our arrival in France was much like
the one we made into Blackpool. Rain
the disagreeable kind; dri2zle that
makes one uncomfortable to look at.
We had to wait for high tide, so did
not land until well past noon. Then
we marched through the town with
our packs on our backs, weighing,
1.-THE packs, not us) about 80 pounds
each.
Quite number OF American cars,
driven by American boys, were run
ming about. Very inspiring TO say the
least.
We had plenty of time to enjoy the
picturesque place as we were march
ing and continued to march for a
couple of hours, most of it being up
hill. Five miles Of it, they said, and 1
believe it was FIVE miles, il it was a
millimeter. Stood the trip remarka-
bly, well.
I'll take chance on telling that we
were taken to u camp where we had
an opportunity to sleep in tent, eat
Uncle Sans grub, and loaf for a day.
The next evening we marched back
a longer way, but without our packs,
and we're put on one Of these accursed
trains with which this hemisphere
seems to abound. Little compartments
for eight persons, three or four to a
coach, and the train running on a
regular "Houck line" road bed.
We we're mighty glad to get here,
to say the least; after a months jour
ney you might say we are.
The sun was shining when we ar
rived; everything green and seeming
so peaceful, except for soldiers,
wounded and manned men on the
streets, and women driving cars and
wagons.
Our hospital is British organiza'
.tion. Tents and more tents, but every
thing we'll kept and in good order.
We are pretty well taken care OF az

British and has lots Of calorics in it,

| Pete and I were on car going to
town near the one in which we were
bileted and an English officer began
talking to us. After finding we were
college men and medics he invited us
to lunch with him; took us to a very
attractive little place and put out
some real food. He became real
chimmy, showed us a picture of the
| girl to whom he is engaged, gave US
his name, and asked us to write to
! him. He came up from the ranks,
and suppose that explains his cor
dial manner. Poor devil!-guess he
wanted to talk to some one. We
found him very interesting, polite
and we'll educated, and considered 1t
a unique experience.

C0PPERM|NES
SHOWING FINE
JUMBO EX. HAS WORK WELL IN
HAND ON OLD
MINES

Matters have progressed to high
ly satisfactory stage at the Copper
Mountain property in Mineral coun-
ty, recently taken over by the Jumbo
Extension company. Late reports
are to the effect that the installation
of machinery to facilitate develop
ment has about been completed. The
shaft just started has been timbered
from the callar and progress is re-
sulting with the aid of two shifts.
Machine drills will shortly be
brought into commission which will
permit of good footage of ground
being broken daily.
Leasers at work on various parts
of the mine are reported as breaking
fair tonnage of ore with every
prospect that the output will be aug
mented in the early spring.

SILVER PICK
STILL IN ORE
EXPLORATION CARRIED FOR
WARD HAS BEEN VERY
ENCOURAGING

Silver Pick operations are going
steadily forward and Manager
George f. Dyer is employing a good
force of men in exploring the vein
recently cut west of the Columbia
mountain fault There is a monster
body of ore showing, although
values have not yet been determ-
ined.
The west drift on the 11OO-foot
level is still being advanced, but
the footwall has not been found.
The ore is showing on the hanging
wall and it is believed will carry
fair values.
Sinking of the shaft will again be
undertaken in the near future on
this property Core drills will also
be lowered with a view of de-
termining the full extent of the
discoveries which have been re-
ported as having been made west &C
the Columbia mountain fault.

The tribute system of developing
the mines of the Goldfield Section
is growing in popularity. Now that
two large properties are to be
thrown open under the leasing sys-
tem-the Goldfeld Consolidated and
Florence-there is much discussion
going the rounds with view of
inducing other companies to follow
a similar line of development.
The leasing systematic split
check method-made Cripple Creek
when it was at its lowest ebb fol-
lowing the sensational boom of
1898. With ground in the larger
mines being thrown open to lease
there was clamoring for privileges
on the part of men who. were
familiar with the many workings,
with the result that the production
was increased several hundred thou
sand dollars monthly.
The mines of the GOldfield dis
trict have never yet been explored
to any great depth, with the ex-
ception of development that has
been performed through the GOLD
field Merger shaft that has been
sunk to a depth of 1850 feet. the
,nrar workings of many of these
properties unquestionably contain
vast amount of hidden treasure that
will yet be extracted through the
leasing system.
The Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company has set the example Tor
a bigger and greater Goldheld by
announcing that the leasing system
is to prevail Hundreds of appllca-
tions have already been received

GREAT BEND
HOLDS ITS OWN
VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN THIS
WELL KNOWN GOLDFIELD
PRODUCER

The find made last week on the
Great Bend property is proving up
to expectations. Shipments are
still being maintained from the ore
body which was encountered in the
raise above the 300-foot level, and
as stopping progresses the determina-
tion of a mineral body of magnitude
is assured
In the face of the drift on the
30O-foot level there is still ex-
posed a big body of medium grade
ore, although the values have not
changed. Assays show metallic
contents varying from Sc to $17
ton, but under prevailing conditions
the ore is not marketable. In the
event that suitable arrangements
can be made later. the product will
probably be sent to one of the
custom mills of the district.
Since the crosscut on the 160-foot
level broke into the old incline
shaft drifting has been in progress,
tho hanging-wall having been fol-
lowed. While no ore of a high
grade has been encountered, the
showing is of an encouraging ma
ture, and it would prove no surprise
if a rich body of mineral was en-
countered at any time.
While no increased production
has been reported during the past
week. shipments being maintained
az the average rate of three car
bright for the output being aug
mented. The values still run close
to $40 ton in gold, silver AMI
copper In fact, there has been a
slight improvement in metallic
values during the past week.

ATLANTA HAS
OWN TROUBLES
SHORTAGE OF CARS CURTAILS
PRODUCTION DURING THE
LAST WEEK

Atlanta continues to attract at
tention.
While there has been no material
known producer, the ore vein has
shown some improvement during
the week. In fact, the pay body of
mineral is still showing in good
form, and shipments are being
maintained at the usual rate.
Owing to the impossibility of
securing cars it has not been pos
sible to market the full product Of
the mines, but the output is being
saved preparatory to shipping the
excess output when conditions be-
come normal.
1t seems to be impossible to
secure cars enough to ship the prod
uct of the mine to the Western Ore
Purchasing company, which means
that the switching yards are not in
a position to handle the actual
business of the community. Car
shortage is also manifestly in evil
dence on the L. W & T. and the
r. & G., but it is hoped that condi-
tions will be relieved during the
next few days.
Manager A. 1. Darcy states that
he has not started crosscutting on
the ore vein located on the 1882
and 1893 drifts. Drifting on the
vein is in progress, however, and
one of the finest looking bodies OF
ore ever exposed in the mine work
irgs is being followed on the hang
irg-wall. Eighteen inches of solid
smelling material is now exposed
that brings a mill settlement of
$131.S0 a ton.
There is also showing a body of
ore that has width of four and
ore-half feet, that has been found
to be worth $38.2S from marketing
the product in carload shipments.
When railroad conditions have
again become normal, Manager
Darcy expects to make an increased
output. He will also proceed 20
market daily at the fiotation plant
of tho GoIdfeld Consolidated Mines
company not less than 100 tons Of
lCw-grade ore which is adaptable
to the fiotation process.

RFV|FW 0F MINING OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

there is a general air of activity
noticeable about the premises.
Goldfield Merger
A we'll directed campaign of de-
velopment will henceforth be in
order on the Goldfield Merger prop
erty. The Atlanta mine, which is
being operated through thu Gold
field Merger shaft is still driving on
large body of better than the
average grade ore that was exposed
on the 1750-foot level. The Atlanta
ore vein lies less than 100 feet
from Goldfeld Merger ground and
surveys show that the sidelines of
the veins will soon be reached.
Red Hill Florence
Active development is in progress
at this well known group of mines
and Manager Fl. G.. McMahan is
working three shifts of men in re-
pairing the shaft workings and in
installing equipment. The double
compartment shaft is to be retim-
bered down to the 800-foot level,
and at that time operations will go
forward on large scale.
Jumbo Extension
Nothing of Importance was re-
ported from this property. The core
drill is being lowered from the
1073-foot level and is apparently
still piercing the contact between
the alaskite and shale. Important
finds may be expected from this
mine during the next few weeks.

Florence mine, one of the greatest
producers of the Goldfield section
previous to a few years ago. IN
der the terms of the order Mr.. Clapp
is permitted to lease down to the
6OO-foot level and ground will PROB
ably be allotted in blocks 200 by
200 feet.
Goldfield Consolidated
No new developments were an
pounced from this well-known
group of mines The flotation plant
has not yet been brought into COM
mission, although it is thought ore
treatment will be in order during
the next two weeks. A force OF
men is being employed in adjusting
the equipment in the plant and eV-
erything is now about in readiness
for the starting of operations.
SimmerOne Mine
Considerable development is be-
ing carried forward on this prop
erty, and occasional news of an i'm
portant find is reported, although 1t
seems impossible to verify the state
ment. 1t is known, however, that
well-known mining engineer has
been devoting a certain amount OF
his time during the past few days
with a view of locating an ore
body that formerly showed up well
on surface.

H0RNS|LvER TO
HAVE BIG MILL
ON GROUND AND WORK
PROGRESSES

Actual construction on the new
mill to be constructed by the Silver
Mines corporation at Hornsilver is
in progress. Most of the equipment
was secured at the Bonnie Glare
mill at Dalton, which has been out
of commission for a long time.
However, 200-horsepower Fair
banksMorse semi-Diesel oil engine
and electric generator has been
purchased and it is hoped 70 COM
plete the mill within the next so
days
j. w. Dunfee, Lessee on the
Orleans mine, controlled by this
company, is in Goldfield today, and
reports that the find made recently
On the 345-foot level is growing in
dimensions with every ultimate
prospect that a record making pro-
duction will be in order during the
early spring. The ore vein now
measures twelve feet in thickness
and tests made upon the material
that is being broken average around
contents show 2.61 ounces gold and
90 ounces silver a ton.
The Silver Mines corporation
plans large development during the
coming summer. With the COM
pletion of the new mill the vast
reserves of low and medium grade
ore will be consigned for treatment
and it is anticipated that a high
saving of values will be effected.
The Hornsilver district is GER
tainly coming to the front and the
next few months promise to result
in number of rich properties
being entered among the shipping
list. The Orleans mine made a
production of more than 100000
during the years 1914 and 1915,
under the management of Mr.. Dun
fee, and the new find recently made
gives promise of developing into
one of the bonanza propositions of
the prosperous locality.

OR|zABA MINE
LOOKS SPLENDID
DIAMONDFIELD BLACK BUTTE
COMPANY COMMENCES
DEVELOPMENT

The Diamondfeld Black Butte
company, controlling the Orizaba
property at Nina, has outlined plans
for thorough and systematic cam
paign of exploration to be carried
forward on that estate.
Under the plan outlined, cross
cut is being driven into the country
rock and away from the great main
vein, on the 95 foot level, and at
a distance of from rs to 100 feet a
vertical raise will be driven to the
surface, in order to open a new
main working shaft. This shaft
will be equipped with the modern
plant now on the ground and sink
ing will then proceed to depth, with
laterals at intervals of 100 feet or
less to cut and explore the vein.
On the 95-foot level, the deepest
to which the mine has been opened,
large bodies of high grade silver
ore are now in sight. Early oper-
ations were hampered by flow OF
water, for combating which no pro-
vision had been made, but which
can readily be handled with the
pumps now available. In shallow
wines below the 95-foot level many
samples have been taken that yield
assays ranging from $40 to $3.50
per ton, the content being chiefly
silver, with a small quantity of gold.
Expert authorities declare that the
Orizaba property, with development
carried to greater depth, gives prom
lse of becoming one of the richest
and most prolific silver producers in
the state.

c. A. Terwilliger, formerly a well
known mining operator of Gold
fetd. and Y no still holds extensive
interests in different camps of this
state, is registered at the Goldfield
hotel.
Mr. Terwilliger is partner OF

Orleans mine a. Hcrnsilver. and
expects in the future to spend
great deal of his time at Goldfeld
and Hornsilver.
The visitor is the owner of the
Sunset and Sunrise ranches in the
Imperial valley of California There
has never year passed since the
gentleman left Goldfield that he has
not been operating mining prop
erty in some part of the state. He
has large interests at Yerington and
is the owner of a property adjoin-
ing the Boss mine in the Good
springs district, where palladium has
been found in paying quantities
Mr.. Terwilliger believes that
Hornsilver will become the next big
camp to come into prominence in
Nevada and he freely makes the
prediction that the boom will short
ly be on in all it's fury.

KEWANAS WORK
SATISFACTORY
NEW DEVELOPMENTS,
ALTHOUGH ORE is
SHOWING

The Reorganized Kewanas COM
pany is still prosecuting an active
and systematic campaign of devel-
opment, but nothing sensational in
a mineral discovery has been re-
ported. The company is proceed
ing quietly with exploration, opera
tions being prosecuted on the $40
foot level and from raise carried
from that level
The west drift at the top of the
raise is said to have entered the
shale contact zone and is now near
ing a point where it is expected to
determine definitely the character
and value of an orebody.
From the main north drift on the
S4O-foot level, and about 500 feet
rfom the main station a crosscut
has been driven east through a
ridge of shale, ore having been en-
countered about 200 feet from the
drift.
