mont boundary. Drifts were extend
ed southwest along both walls of the
main vein at this point, where the
vein is now being explored by cross
cuts. The winZe from the 1917
foot or deepest level of the mine is
being sunk, following the dip of the
vein, and at a depth of about 100
feet drifts and cross-cuts will be
driven to explore the vein. Salts
factory results have attended devel-
opment work on the company's Cop
per Mountain property. where new
workings from two of the three
working shafts will soon be in the
ore-bearing zones. Copper ore of
excellent grade is exposed at a num-
Der of other points on the property
and lessees have made a substantial
production.
ReOrganized Kewanas
In the southern part of the Ke-
wanas property development work
has produced results that are highly
encouraging. The southeast cross
cut, extending diagonally through
the main vein, is being continued to
explore the country beyond the hang
ing wall and a drift is now being ad-
vanced to the south, near the cen
ter of the vein and following a
highly mineralized zone in which
many good assays have been OBJ
tanned This drift is to be extended
to make connection with the north
ern workings of the Jumbo Junior
company, in ground leased from the
Kewanas.
Great Bend Mine
The most important development
lately has been the opening of ore
of excellent grade in the new raise
from the 3O0-foot level, at the most
easterly point yet reached by any of
the workings. This raise has been
in ore of good shipping grade for
considerable distance, apparently
marking the presence of a hitherto
unknown ore-shoot Farther west
the main stope above the 160-foot
level and the new stope just east of
this are showing ore of high grade,
which has also been opened in a
raise from the deeper level Ship
ments maintain satisfactory aver
age in quality.

assessments and ore production is to
be applied to the liquidation of this
obligation and to development work
Nov. 20 has been set as the last day
fer making the exchange of stock
and paying the exchange fee.
In earlier operations a substan-
tial production of ore of excellent
average grade was made from the
Mayflower vein and the mine was re-
garded as one of the best in the
state. The mine workings are in
sood condition and the mill can be
placed in good working shape at lit
tie expense. In his letter to stock
holders, President Tobin says:
Operations on the Mayflower
property have been continuous and
the results have been of character
decidedly gratifying to the manage
ment The hosting engine has been
repaired and is now in first-class
running order.
Necessary repairs have been
made to the head-frame over the
main shaft, as well as to timbers in
the shaft and in workings on the
100, 200 and 800 levels of the mine.

GREAT BEND IN
new 0RF-SH0OT
DEPOSIT OF SHIPPING ORE
OPENED IN EASTERN
TERRITORY

Ore of excellent grade has been
exposed lately in a new raise from
the 300-foot level of the Great Bend
mine, at the most easterly point at
tanned in the present work of the
company and at no great distance
from the eastern boundary. The
drift on the 160-foot level is being
advanced to the east to pick up this
ore-shoot and there is still another
known orebody farther east, near
the end-line and which was opened
in work of the Dr. Lockhart lease.
Assays of the ore opened in the
new raise have been ranging from
$50 to $50 per ton and this ore
body is entirely distinct from the
three seperate ore-shOots opened
farther west, two of which have
been developed on both levels and
by connecting raises A large ton
mage of excellent mill ore has been
exposed in the progress of this
work.

MILL IS READY
At HORNS|lvER
NEW PLANT PREPARED EOR
TREATMENT OF LARGE
TONNAGE

All machinery in the new mill
of the Silvermines Corporation at
Hornsilver has been turned over and
is now in shape for continuous oper-
alton. A slight delay in starting
the plant was caused by small leaks
in the pipe line. resulting from dc
fective pipe sections, which have
now been replaced, and no further
difficulty from this source is ex-
pected, although trouble of this na
ture is regarded by experienced pipe
men as inevitable in installing
new line of this length and carrying
high pressure.
Development work continues OF
various levels of the mine and air
drills are now being brought into
use. Power is generated by the
22O-horsepower semi-Diesel oil
burning engine and the jackham-
mer drills in use will drill two
rounds of holes, in two separate
working faces, on each shift. In
this manner a large amount of de-
velopment work can be performed
by the five drills to be employed
under normal conditions.
A large tonnage of excellent mill
ore is being blocked out in the
mine and there is already a sub
stantial tonnage of good ore on the
main dump at the collar of the
shaft which will be drawn upon at
once for the mill.

GOOD PROSPECTS
PAY ORE OPENED FOR LONG
DISTANCE ON 80
LEVEL

Conditions in the Spearhead mine
are reported to have shown a con-
sistent improvement in the cor ~se
of recent development work on the
910-foot level. South of the shaft,
at a distance of over 200 feet, the
main drift continues in ore of uni
formly good grade, showing seams
of relatively high-grade material
and the orebody appears to be of
large dimensions and plainly is in
the shale contact zone.
North of the shaft. in the Spear
head claim, drift is being extend
ed in the same zone and has been
showing some ore of medium grade.
At the 450-foot level the east cross
cut has been extended for the pur-
pose of cutting the Wheeler vein,
in which some high-grade ore was
found by lessees at a depth of 250
feet. A raise will now be driven
to connect with the old lease work
ings.

by force of twenty-odd men under
the direction of A. l. Darcy, man

Goldfield. Reports circulated in To-
nopah to the effect that large bodies
of high-grade ore has been opened in
this property, are denied on the best

Four shafts are being sunk on the
main vein of the group, all in the
country rock and following the dip
of the hanging wall. The main shaft
is now down so feet and a cross
cut is being driven through the vein

nine feet of this quartz showed little
of value, but the last five feet of
ore is apparently of high milling
grade, showing free gold in the pan.

PAY ORE FOUND
IN SILVER PICK
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED IN
WORK ON 7OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Favorable reports continue to
come from the newer workings on
the 700-foot level of the Silver Pick
Consolidated property, where some
ore of good grade is said to have
been found lately. 1t is said that
miners employed by the company
are enthusiastic over the present
appearance of the vein at this point
and are convinced that they are
about to open an orebody of great
value.
Many high assays have been oh
tanned from a seam of heavy sui
phide ore which accompanies &
larger deposit of lower grade ma
terial, averaging around So per ton.
The new find was made in driv-
ing to the southwest on the 700
foot level, where development work
was started recently by Manager
Dyer The vein at this point ap-
pears to be of great width and
heavily mineralized throughout,
showing much iron pyrite and some
copper.
Work has also been conduct I'd
through an extended area on the
1100-foot level and the results of
this work have led the directors to
consider seriously the project o.
sinking another 200 feet or more to
explore within the shale.

more than a little interest in the
work Of the cubs and plans to keep
in touch with the running of the team
during the fall.
Princeton undergraduates are not
at all pleased with the ruling that
there will be no varsity football this

CLINE BESTS JACKSON
'Irish Patsy Has Better OF Eight
Rounds in Battle That Is Filled With
Thrills Throughout.

New York, Sept, 25.-In the fastest
and prettiest bout that has been seen
in this neck of the woods In the
proverbial blue moon, Patsy Cline out
boxed and Outfought Willie Jackson
at the Manhattan Casino last night.
Though Cline won by wide margin,
taking eight Of the ten rounds, jack
son always was dangerous and in
terest was at fever heat and from the
first to the final clang of the gong.
Cline gave a superb exhibition of
boxing. Fast with both feet and hands,
clever on the attack as on the de-
tense, he showed the ringsiders every
trick in the boxers repertoire. Jack
son packed heavier and more dead
ly punch and though finding Cline an
elusive target. managed to land oc-
casionally with smashing blows.
Jackson's hardest walopds, however
never more than temporarily slowed
up the little Celt.
The men started in fighting at a
fast clip at the opening gong and
from then on the bout was brimful of
action. Interspersed in the lighting
| fast boxing were rallies in which the
| boys stood toe to- toe and slugged
nightly. Cline had the advantage OF
most Of the exchanges but Patsy al
ways found Willie willing mixer.
