Jim Davis and Lillian had been en-
gagged for nearly year before John
Stevens butted in and won the girl
away. jim had never resented 1t, and
the two men had become fast friends.
1t was a curious situation, and only
the strongest friendship could have en-
dured it. But John never had the least
doubt of his friends loyalty.
When he had gone Lillian sat down
and gave way to flood of tears. She
did not believe her husband cared for
her. Because he did not tell her so
every minute of the day, as he had
done when they were married seemed
an infallible proof to her.
'rll make him realize what he has
lost" she said.
She wished that she had some wom-
an friend In whom she could confide.
But since her marriage she had given
up nearly all her friends. Who was
there? Jim. who had adored her, Jim
whom she ought to have married. With
a sudden impulse she went to the tele-
phone.
"Jim," she called. ~ am in great
trouble. Won't you come round and see
me and help met"
"Sure, Lily" answered Jim.
He came into the room half an hour
later, big. stalwart, honest-looking.
She offered him chair.

"No, but you just cant help chang

haven't told me you cared for me for

and went up to Lillian to kiss her
good-by. But she repulsed him.

His face grew rather serious as he
went down the street. He was de-
voted to his wife of two years stand

temperament. She was forever imag-
lining things. She was the type of a
woman who would never be quite
happy. He was puzzled; he wished he
knew what to do to make her life hap

thing seemed to be to wait and hope
that in time Lillian would come to see
things differently.

The Kentuckian on JAM l, 1917, rounds out it's
38Lh year Under normal conditions the year 1916
ould have been year of unusual prosperity but
as the public is aware the eXorbitantuand unprece-
dent price charged for News Print Paper cut a
.eep hole in the profits of all newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out Of business.
The Kentuckan enters the new year with print
paper that cost S54 ton at this time last year now
costing about $40 for the same amount of paper
not as good. How long these conditions will con-
tinue cannot be foretold.
Many newspapers have advanced rates but in
order that the circulation may not be lessened by
higher price the Kentuckian i'll still be sent for
$500 a year, the old price. 1t will be necessary
though to adhere rigdly to the cash system, since
more than $1.00 must be paid in advance for the
paper upon which we print 156 papers and the cost

BULLFROG DISTRICT NOW
GIVES PROMISE OF
EARLY REVIVAL

The advent of 1918 opens the
first page of a new volume in the
life history of the Bullfrog district
The earlier volume has been des-
troyed and forgotten. 1t was an
exciting and romantic recital of
frenZied finance and super-sanguine
promotion; it furnished new and as
yet unapproached records of futile
expenditure of company funds and
of clever stock market manipula-
ton; it recorded many discoveries
of actual merit, but as a chronicle
of mine development it failed even
remotely to indicate the intrinsic
worth of the district. The surviv-
ing pioneers hold that it should be
expunged from the records; con.
signed to the limbo of volumes that
are out of print.
Present day operators in the Bull
frog region would decry the sug-
gestion of an impending boom. They
regard the operations now in pro-
gress as being based upon a more
stable business foundation, with
plans predicated in less degree upon
stock market results than upon fu-
ture dividend earnings. Expert
authorities point to the fact that the
already large production of the
mines has come from relatively shall
low levels and that there is nothing
to indicate failure of the orebodies
to persist in depth.
Operating costs in the boom per-
iod throughout this region were al

the boom, resulting from the big
financial panic, followed closely up
on the coming of the first railroad.
Excepting on a few properties de-
velopment work had not advanced to
point where the mines could be
made self-sustaining, but ample war
rant for further development work
was afforded by production from a
number of the mines, including the
Montgomery Shoshone, Mayflower
Bullfrog, Original Bullfrog, Tramp
Consolidated, Denver-Bullfrog, Pho
neer Consolidated, and a half-do@Un
others. At some points in the big
district mining operations have con-
tinued ever since the boom days and
a large tonnage of good ore has been
shipped to smelters or milled in the
district during this period.
Through the adoption of the as
sessable stock plan of company or
ganization several of the most i'm
portant corporations have been en-
abled to resume mining on sub
stantial basis and in every instance
the results have amply justified ex-
penditures in development and in

MINES OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE development

The White Caps Mining company
of Manhattan, having within the past
few weeks demonstrated the wisdom
of adopting the Shining method of
treating the ores from the mine, has
gone a step further in it's efforts to
achieve the most successful results
in the milling of it's ores, and an
nounces that within a short time the
plant will be made adaptable to the
all-slime treatment process.
When numerous tests and con-
tinuous practice, during the time the
mill has been operating, proved that
asmcre complete and more rapid re-
covery of the good values in the ore
could be made by separating the
sands from the natural shines in the
crushed product of the mine, the
management continued it's investi-
cations; and of late has conducted
the most exhaustive examinations
and tests with a view to determin-
ing on the advisability of doing away
with the sands entirely and grind

tion for a sufficient length of time
to determine it's efficacy and to
make all necessary adjustments and
additions. It's first cleanup will be
made during the first days of Janu-
airy, when accurate knowledge of
the percentage of metallic recovery
will be available. Tests have al
ready indicated that a high extrac-
tion is being effected and in erect
ing the plant General Manager S. II.
Brady had the advantage of personal
experience in treating in a Tonopah
mill, a large tonnage of ore from

Water is now being piped to Horn
silver through an eight-mile pipe
line, taking it's supply from the main
line that furnishes Goldfield This
line was installed late in the sum-
mer by the Slvermines Corporation,
providing a volume of water suffi-
cient for it's milling purposes and
for the whole district, with ample
allowance for growth in population.
Before the coming of the pipeline
it had been necessary to haul all
water for the camp distance of
nine miles across the desert, and
the cost of water has stood as an
obstacle to the development of
claims by their owners.
In the Hornsilver district there
are a dozen or more properties that
have pay ore in sight, few having
performed sufficient development
work to block out substantial ton
mage of mill ore of good grade.
These properties can now be placed
upon productive, profit-earning
basis, as the new mill will provide
market, on advantageous terms,
for all ore that is likely to be pro-
duced for some time to come. The
mill has crushing capacity or
over $50 tons daily, and with the
mines in shape for a larger output

Expansion in the scope of develop

field companies during the early
part of the coming year, and viewed
from every angle the ore marketing

will result in a substantial increase

has stood in the way of marketing
certain ores and all mill products,
but there are indications that this
obstacle will be removed, at least
in part, in the near future and
that there will be no further restric-
tions on production from this source.
OF the greatest immediate i'm
portance to the district are projects,
now being carried forward rapidly,
to explore the main ore-channels at
great depth, below the shale, which
IS below the various volcanic rocks
of the district, and down to the
basic alaskite or granite, which
forms the geologic floor of this re-
gion. In other districts where these
conditions revail, the igneous flows
everything the granite, and notably
in the Cripple Creek district, the
largest and most valuable orebodies
have been found only after sink
ing through the surface flows and
into the granite, and geologists of
high standing maintain that similar
conditions will be found here at
great depth.
Deep mining, with a view to de-
termining this condition, is now in
progress and at two points is ap-
preaching the point where concrete
results may be expected with good
reason. In the Atlanta and Jumbo
Extension mines great depth is be-
ing attained and the principal ore
channels of the district are to be
thoroughly explored far below any
levels yet opened in the district and
well within the granite. On the re-
suits of this work will depend in

The equipment which was intend.
ed to separate the sands and shines,
has been completely set up in the
mill; and so successful were the
results attending the extraction pro-
cess from the shines that 1t was soon
concluded to make the mill practice
uniform by making the treatment
consist solely of Shining. For this
purpose the company is now Install
ing a tube mill which is expected to
be in operation in about three weeks.
The addition of the tube mill will re-
suit in the reduction of the crushed
product to shines, which will then
be put through the regular slime
treatment. Agitators will be in
stalled and the management is conf
dent that the present extraction of
81 per cent will be exceeded. That
figure represents the extraction

tion from the sands, and the trans

EX. WINE
IS PROGRESSING
ED IN SINKING TO
DEPTH

Sinking is in progress from the
sion mine, with the object of eXplor-
ing the main ore-channel at great
depth. The winze is following down
the flat dip of the big vein and is
now far below the surface of the
shale and will be continued to eX-
plore at the point where the lode
leaves the shale and enters the un-
derlying alaskite or granite. A drift
extended north from the winZe, some
20 feet below the 1917 level, showed
some good ore.
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain property continue highly favor
able and in addition to favorable
showing of ore that will pay to ship
to the smelters, development work
is said to be placing in sight large
tonnage of excellent concentrating
ore, averaging from three to six per
cent copper.
Test shipments of this material
are being made to prove the best
means of treating it on the property,
and it is the plan of the company
eventually to install reduction
plant for the treatment of this ore.
Development work is being conduct
ed from three working shafts and

In his report Manager Dyer states
that work has been confined recent

ATLANTA MAKES
GOOD HfADWAy
ON THE 1900 FOOT
LEVEL TO BE CUT
SHORTLY

Expectations of more rapid prog
ress in sinking the deep winze from
the 1750-foot level of the Atlanta
mine have been realized since the
powerful new sinking pump was in
stalled and the new equipment has
made it possible to establish new
records in fast sinking. 1t is now re-
garded as probable that the station
at the 1900-foot level will be COM
pleted and the cross-cut at this depth
will be progressing to the east, to
cut the main vein, within the next
ten days at most
The winze has continued in the
big quartz mass, showing many
seams of good ore, and it is consid
cred altogether possible that this
quartz channel, known as the west
vein, may continue down to the
shale, in which event the further
possibility is recognized of finding
deposits of pay ore in the contact
zone at this point.
Developments resulting from this
work within the next month will be
watched with the keenest interest
as all indications point to the pres
ence of important orebodies in the
main vein below the deepest levels
yet explored and the company's
work is by far the deepest yet un-
dertaken in southern Nevada.
