MASONIC MINES
ARE PRODUCING
PREPARING FOR GREAT ACTIV-
ITY WITH OPENING OF
WAGON ROADS

Rich strikes and advent of new
capital in instilling new life into
the famous Masonic district, which
blazed forth like a meteor in 1906
Z. Strongly financed Nevada and
California companies are actively
exploiting the great Masonic lode
which yielded bonanza ore in the
Pittsbug-Liberty and is showing
quartz of remarkable richness in
the Serita, New York and other
properties. The roads leading into
the camp will be open for heavy
traffic in 80 days, and several COM
panies have arranged for shipments
of supplies and machinery.
The Serita mine, operated by
Stahl brothers, who had the fam
Gus lease at National, is developing
splendidly. 1t is persistently ru-
mored that bonanza ore has been
encountered in the east vein, lately
intersected, and miners state that
the product closely resembles in
appearance the ores of he Mohawk
and Florence mines at Goldfield.
Much tellurium is present and
streaks Of wonderfully rich ore &C
companies the ordinary milling pro-
duct.
From so to 70 men are on the
payroll and the old Pittsburg-Liber-
ty mill, improved and remodeled,
has been placed in shape for a long
run Mine and mill equipment are
electrically operated, the company
having installed a power plant at
an approximate cost of 100000.
The Masonic Mines association
has completed arrangement for the
sinking of a 200-foot shaft on the
Chemung claim to intersect the Ma
sonic lode. Near surface seams of
ore assaying $500 to $4,000 in gold
have been found and the shaft will
go down on a promising shoot.
The property will be operated un-
der the management of George Bur-
ris, we'll known in mining circles of
Goldfield, Cuprite, Rochester, and
Oatman.

water are working the ~Pittsburg-
Liberty on a lease and bond.
Seams of rich ore have been found
and the operators are confident
they will recover the famous ledge
which yielded in excess of 800, 900.
The formation is marked by ex-
tensive faulting and drifting is pro-
ceeding through a fault which cut
off the ore.
John D.. Martin and associay
are vigorously developing the Nc
York group, adjoining the Serita on
the east. A double compartment
has been sunk 100 feet and a SPLEEN
did ledge approximately 30 feet
wide opened at the $50 point. SO
satisfactory have developments been
that the company has taken under
bond the Snowshoe claim for a re-
puted price of $35, O00.-Miner.

George r. Hickernell, deputy
sheriff at Blair, came to Goldfield
this morning with a colored man,
charged with vagrancy and Louis
Martini, an Austrian, whom he
found in a demented condition at
Coaldale. Martini was found wan

S. P. employees TO
AID LIBERTY LOAN
TAKES FIVE MILLION IN BONDS
AND ADVANCES ON
SALARIES

Expressing confidence that the re-
Spouse would be prompt and patriot
ic, President William Sproule of the
Southern Pacific company has issued
a call to $4,000 employees to partici-
pate in the liberty loan and %announc-
ed that the railroad would advance
the required funds. reimbursement to
be made in salary deductions over
a long period.
In making the announcement Pres
ident Sproule said:
Hitherto it has been supposed
that only those having plenty of
money could own government bonds.
Today there is an opportunity for
any man to become the owner of a
government bond who can v $50.
The nation needs your help and the
company desires to assist you in
helping the government"
By the plan announced by the
Southern Pacific executive, any en-
ploye can, upon request, have the
company subscribe In his behalf for
any amount of bonds desired, not ex-
ceeding 25 per cent of his salary, and
the company will advance the whole
subscription price. turning the bond
over to the subscriber with accrued
interest when the advance has been
repaid.
On account of the tax exempt
feature of the bonds, the rate of 3k
per cent per annum will be above
the average generally paid by savings
banks.
The Southern Pacific has SUBJ
scribed for $4,000, 900 of these
bonds on it's own account.

opened on the 500, 500, 700 and
8O0-foot levels and a large force of
miners is employed in extending
the 500-foot level for the purpose
of exploring the main Florence vein
at this depth.
Work will be pushed forward
here and on deeper levels, and in
this ann the Florence vein,
which has yielded millions of dol

stantial proportions. The product
is of excellent grade and comes
from a new stope, opened from the
south drift at a depth Of $40 feet
property. This drift has been ad-
vanced on ore of this grade for
over 100 feet and the face is still
in shipping ore. The same quality
of ore was shown in a raise driven
from the east cross-cut, fully 100
feet west of the drift and higher
on the dip of the shale, so thai it
has been made plain that the de-
posit is of large extent. Improve
ments are being made in the facili-
ties for extraction and prospects are
favorable for a production that will
yield the company a good profit.
Red Hill Florence
Negotiations that have been pend
ing for some time are said to be
nearing cOnsummation, resulting in
the transfer to the Red Hill Flor
ence company of a majority of the
issued stock of the Florence Gold
field Mining company. The amount
of stock so acquired is reported to
be $4,000 shares. leaving about
400, 900 shares outstanding. The
Red Hill Florence company, imme-
diataly upon completing details of
the transaction, will liquidate all in
~debtedness of the Florence com
pany, amounting to $4,000, and
will then proceed to operate the
Florence ground, as we'll as it's own
property, on a broad scale. The
Red Hill Florence company has a

ment shaft, 500 feet in depth and
sunk near the main Florence vein,
which will be explored on deep

JUNE ) TO Be DAY FOR
DISPLAY Of PATRIOTISM
"a PROCLAMATION BY THE GOvERNOR)

Our country is engaged in the mightfest effort of its his
security and peace In the world. It is enlisted in a struggle to
make the world safe for democracy.
The President has called upon the people of the entire Ma
ton to think, speak, and act together, and the people, through
the Congress, have agreed that every person Is subject to duty
of some sort in support of the country.
For the purpose of enumerating and enrolling those most
needed at this time for military duty, the President, under the
law, has set aside Tuesday, June ., 1917, a a day when those
of the male population of the Nation between the ages Of twenty
N and thirty years, inclusive, shall present themselves at the
customary voting places in their respective communities, give
such information respecting themselves a is required, and await
the further call of their country.
Although this duty is imposed upon all between the specified
age limits, under penalty for failure, it is undoubted n the peo-
pie regard this as the opportunity to respond to the Nations
need in the most efficient, orderly, and patriotic way.
Therefore. in order to emphasize this spirit, ], EMMETT d.
BOYLE, Governor of the State of Nevada, by authority In m e
vested, do hereby further proclaim
TUESDAY U n 5, 1917
to be not alone a day for obedience to the proclamation of the
President, but one of opportunity for the display of that eager
patriotism which glorifes the entire free democratic people Of u
State and Nation.
And I suggest that this display Of patriotic feeling should
surround and center upon the solemn act Of registration and
secration to the service of the country. 1t Is especially desirable
that the day shall not assume the guise of a day of compulsion,
because that is contrary to the true spirit of America. However,
it would be equally inappropriate if the day should become
voluntary conservation to duty. Elaborate and costly decorations
should be avoided, but during the evening of Registration Day
it would be appropriate to have meetings At which he u
meaning of the day and its duty might be defned by lei
prominent in their respective communities.
In addition to the certificate delivered to each IA who
shall register, a distinctive badge for permanent preservation will
be later furnished by the State OF Nevada, that the people may
selves in obedience to the call o. their country.

OR|zABA OPTION
DETAILS GIVEN
RENO MEN IN COMPANY THAT
HAS SECURED SILVER
PROPERTY

A deal which means much to the
mining section east of Nina was
finally consummated last week when
p. V. Rovnianek, who has been in
control of the Orizaba Mining COM
pany for a number of years, turned
over the property to the General
Mines company under an option, the
terms of which specify that the
property shall be developed as rap
idly as possible and carries with it
also a final payment of s150,000.
W. G.. Lowe. engineer for the
General Mines company, has been
placed in charge of operations 1T
the property. While in Nina this
week, in announcing the transfer,
Mr.. LOWE stated that it was the in
tention of his company to speed up
the development work as fast as
possible, as his examination of the
present workings convinced him that
the mine possessed a deal of merit,
and that if the values continued be-
low the water level as they have
above, it would unquestionably be-
COUlt a very NdludDle Iulue.
One of the handicaps under which
the mine has labored in past years
has been the lack of adequate equip
ment to prosecute work below the
present water level. which is ap-
proXimately 100 feet from the sur
face. To overcome this, a new boiler,
to handle the pumps and operate
the hoist, is to be installed. The
fuel used will be oil, and with the
aid of the new equipment the shaft
will be continued to indefinite
depths for the purpose of proving
the extent of the vein which shows
up so splendidly above water level.
The original Orizaba company en-
braced six claims, but shortly be-
fore the present transaction was
closed Mr.. Rovnianek acquired the
interests of A. H. Jones, w. H. Roy
stem and the Riley estate in three
claims adjoining the OriZaba group,
Orizaba consist of nine claims in a
solid group.
Teams are engaged in hauling sup
plies and equipment to the mine
and within a short time active work
will be under way under the charge
of Mr.. LOWE. Good shipments have
been made from time to time, but
owing to lack of financial support,
it was impossible to continue them
regularly. Under the new manage
ment, composed of Reno men with
unlimited capital behind them, men
who have been successful in other
enterprises and who are now engaged
in developing several other mining
properties throughout the state, the
future appears more suspicious for
the Orizaba mine than ever before
in it's history.
The OriZaba mine was examined
by many men of prominence in the
mining world when it was under con-
troll of the Black Butte company,
and the opinion was unanimously
given that the Orizaba was one Of
the best looking properties, with the
limited amount of development work
done on it, hal had been found in
some time.
The advent of such extensive cap
ital in the mining field east of Nina
augurs much for the prosperity and
development of the mines Of that
great section. - Western Nevada
