RED HILL DRIVING
TO OPEN NEW
OREBOOY
EXTENSION OF BONANZA DE-
POSIT MAY ENTER COM
PANY'S GROUND

Prospects of a successful outcome
for the work now being conducted
by the Red Hill Florence company
have been rendered brighter by re-
cent developments in ground ad-
Joining on the east, where lease
embracing part of the Red King
claim of the Florence Goldfield
company is shipping bonanza ore,
broken from the vein that dips into
this ground from the Red Hill.
Some of the high-grade exposed by
the lessees is said to assay many
thousands of dollars ton and it
is asserted by disinterested persons
familiar with the mine conditions
that the rich ore-shoot can hardly
fail to extend into the Red Hill
company's ground.
Up to the present time the work
of the Red Hill company has been
confined to the main 500-foot level
and to several raises and an inter
mediate, about so feet above this
level. In all of these workings,
which are in the main Florence
vein,. the assays obtained have
afforded ample grounds for en-
couragement and full faces of ore
have been exposed at some points
averaging we'll up to the shipping
standard.
One raise from the 500-foot level,
a short distance north of the shaft,
has been following, on its incline,
the cross fissure that intersects the
main vein at this point. The main
lode dips to the east, while the cross
vein has a southerly dip and trend
north of east. This raise has de-
veloped the best showing and has
exposed some ore assaying above
$25 per ton. Two other raises,
north and south of the shaft, are
being extended in the main vein
and continue to yield enconraSing
assays.
Preparations are now being made

recent report indicated that ore of
excellent grade was being broken at
number of places.
Atlanta Mines Co.
Rapid progress is being made in
sinking the deep winze from the
1750-foot level. from which it is
planned to explore the Atlanta vein
on the 1900 and 2000-foot levels.
The winZe is now down over SO feet
and at the 190O-foOt level station
will be cut and a cross-cut will be
driven east to the vein. The man
agement has every confidence of
finding pay ore at this depth and at
the present rate of progress, aided
by the excellent sinking plant in

RICH ORE
COMPANY Is NOW DEVELOPING
NINE ON ELABORATE
SCALE

Developments in the property OF
the Sunset Mining and Development
company, near Rhyolite, have been
of such Importance lately as to at
tract widespread interest in mining
circles of this region. President E.
S. Van Dyck and Vice-president
Herman Zadig of the Sunset COM
pany visited the property this week
and upon their return here both full
ly confirmed the favorable reports
brought earlier from the southern
district.
A discovery that is apparently of
great Importance has been made at
a depth of $50 feet and in the Den
vel vein, where the orebody for a
width of five feet, averages over $40
per ton. In addition to this ore
their is a rich streak along the foot
wall that assays $27O per ton. The
find is regarded as highly signifi-
cant, in view of earlier discoveries
of rich ore nearer the surface in
this part of the property.
The Sunset Mining & Develop
ment company is a reorganization
of the old Tramp Consolidated Min
ing company, which was one of the
most spectacular features in the
boom days of the Bullfrog district.
The Tramp mine produced some of
the richest ore ever found in the
district and Tramp stock at one
time sold above SO share on a
capitalization of 100000 shares.
About four years ago the Sunset
Mining & Development company was
organized and took over possession
Of the Tramp ground, together with
other properties, including the Den
yer, Sunset and another group.
After having done a considerable

on the bottom level is adding a great
many tons to known ore reserves
in the mine. Between the third and
fourth levels the ore reserves in the
east orebody alone added over mil
lion dollars to the value of the
White Caps, and the present devel-
opment should more than equal this
amount.
The really significant features
about the recent discovery are the
manner in which the values increas-
ed, from the time the east orebody
was discovered up to the time the
drift was turned toward the foot
wall, where on the level above the
richest ore in the shoot was de-
veloped, and the fact that the av-
erage assays are nearly SO per cent
higher than they were on the level
above.
Such condition presages corre-
spending improvement on the foot
wall side of the vein, when encoun-
tered, which, on the 435-foot level,
was opened up for width of eight
feet along the course of the vein.

Since last weeks report, the east
orebody has been exposed on the
fifth level of the White Caps. The
hanging wall side of the ore was
first struck by the south cross-cut,
although the cross-cut was entirely
in ore. After drifting for rs feet
along the vein, the drift course was
changed to cut the ore at right an
giles toward the foot wall. This
cross-cut has now been extended 10
feet and as yet there is no sign of
the foot wall.
The first sign of calcite. which
has been prominent in the heart or
the vein as exposed from the upper
levels, was noted the day this report
was written. AS mentioned in last
weeks report, the main portion OF
the orebody is still further ahead
of the lateral work, from the fifth
level, as the underground surveys
distinctly show on the maps of the
workings. However, Judging by the
size of the vein as already exposed
with neither wall yet uncovered it is
practically a certainty that the bot
tom workings are going to prove the
east orebody considerably larger in
size than from the fourth level.
Each foot of work along the vein

will require no great length of time
to begin prospecting the vein on the
19OO-foot level. Sinking will con-
tinue while the vein is being opened
at the latter level and everything
has been provided to insure high
rate of speed in carrying out this
work.
Red Hill Florence
DEVELOPMENT work continues on
and above the 500-foot level and is
to be started at once on the 600 and
7OO-foot levels. The discovery OF
exceedingly rich ore in leased ground
of the adjoining Florence mine,
within a few yards of the Red Hill
Florence boundary, is regarded as
being of great Importance to the
latter property and development
work will be carried forward by the
Red Hill management with the OBJ
ject of picking up the extension OF
this bonanza ore-shoot in Red Hill
ground, between the 500 and 600
foot levels. Some ore of good
grade has been exposed in raises
driven from the main workings on
the 500-foot level.
Reorganized Kewanas
the Kewanas mine many seams of
good ore have been exposed and
work is now progressing in highly
mineralized zone of great width,
yielding low assays in gold, silver
and copper. The main southeast
cross-cut is being continued to reacn
the hanging wall, while a drift,
started some distance back in the
cross-cut, is being advanced to the
south near the center of the great
vein, where many good assays have
been obtained. With this work
farther advanced, a series of raises
will be driven to explore the hang
ing wall side of the vein and the
zone marking the contact with the
everything latte. The present show
ing, both in the drift and cross-cut,
is regarded as encouraging.

responsible for all the money paid
out.
Some paying tellers are more par
ticular than others. Thus some OF
them are willing to accept personal
letters and cards for identification
purposes. But there are others.
For instance, a man presented an
order recently calling for $3.50. 1t was
only a small amount, of course, but
the paying teller was very particular:
First he asked the man his name and
the amount the order called for. When
these questions had been answered ne
asked the bearer if he had any letters.
Some were shown him. Then he want
ed to know if the bearer could pro-
duce any cards with his name on
them. These were shown, but the tell
err was still doubtful
"Let me see that signet ring on your
finger, please" he said.
The wearer held up his finger so the
teller could read the initials. 1t took
the latter a minute or so to dec1phcr
the monogram, but this seemed to con-
vince him that the wearer was the
person he represented himself to be-
for he Immediately wrote out an order

ART IN MASONRY
Ancient New England Dry Walls Are
Things Of Beauty But Few Are
Built Now.

SIN dry walls 1 think the old stone
mason takes the greatest pride Of all;
for it Is the dry WALL mean by that
q wall laid without n1Ortar-that the
sheer nrt Of the mason comes most
into play. Anyone can throw a wall
together if he has mortar to make
it stick, but dry wall must stand out
for what it is, built solid from the
bottom up, each stone resting securely
upon the one below it, and braced and
nestled in by the sheer skill Of the ma
son, writes David Grayson In the
American Magazine.
The art of the dry wall is the an'
cient heritage of New England and
speaks not only of the sincerity and
the conscientiousness Of the old puri-
tan spirit but strikes the higher note
Of beauty. Many of the older walls
know are worth going far to. see, for
they exhibit q rare sense Of form and
proportion, and are sometimes set In
the landscape with q skill that only
the Master Artist himself could exceed.
Those old, hard-wrought stone fences
of the Burnham hills and Crewsbury,
the best Of them, were honestly built,
and built to last thousand years. A
beautiful art-and one that is passing
away. Il is the dry wall that stands
Of itself that the old stone mason loves
best of all.

New Works. Barge Canal.

New York's barge canal promises to
be invaluable as means OF cheap
freight transportation and also to slim
ulate other interests. Syracuse will
have a barge canal terminal and the
city is considering the construction of
q belt line railroad to accommodate
the traffic to and from rail to water
routes. This is significant as to what
is likely to follow the opening of the
barge canal and operation at full ca
pacity. The movement is also sugges-
tive of the close relations that may be
established between railroad and
canal. The old idea of uncolnpromls-
ing hostility has been exploded, de-
c1ares the Troy Times. Each can make
use of the other in developing traffic
that will represent valuable service to
the public, and the outcome will be ex-
pansion Of freight-carrying facilities
to meet the requirements Of country
in which industrial progress, great as
it has been. is slight compared With
what is to cone.

II N the East, the eyes of Europe
have been centered on Bagdad.
For myself, the big event recalls
small personal experience, a
visit I paid some years ago to the
city of the Caliphs, via Damascus and
Palmyra, says a writer in the London
Graphic. Except for the caravans that
halt there on their way to Bagdad,
Palmyra has but few visitors. The
journey there entails many difficulties
and dangers; but we were anxious to
see this city, "noble in situation, in
wealth, in sunshine and pleasant wa
ters," as Pliny calls it, and, having
made all necessary arrangements for q
camp and escort of soldiers, we start
ed early one morning from Damascus
by the road which is still called the
Zenobian Way.
Palmyra, or "Tadmor in the Wilder
ness," was built by Solomon, as we
read in the Book Of Kings, and there
can be little doubt that the ruins now
before us occupy the site, as they bear
the name Of the city founded by the
great King of Israel. But it is to a
woman-Zenobia, the Queen of the
.East-that Palmyra owes it's high po-
%sition in the annals of antiquity. The
virtue, the wisdom, and the heroic spir-
it of that extraordinary woman have
never been surpassed.
