RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 24.-Not
since the days when Morgan and
other buccaneers of old roamed the
seas and sent vessels scudding be-
fore wild rumors of their presence,
has there been such a crop of stories
of secret bases, concealed harbors.
mysterious supply ships and the
strategy Of willy seamen as that
which buzzed up and down the South
American coast today. Many OF the
harbored strongholds of the pirates
of the days when the Spanish main
was good picking, are located on the
north coast of South America and the
rumors today were that the same nat
ural vantage points were being util-
ized by the German raiders.
The minister Of marine put enough
credence in one Of these rumors to
dispatch the Brazilian cruisers Rio
Grande Do Sud and the Tymbfra to
search the coast Of the state OF Rio
Grande Do Norte. The specific rumor

that the municipality Of Touros. in
that state. located between Fortaleza
and Natal. was the hiding place OF
the raider. Pernambuco dispatches
today persisted in this rumor.
The meager description OF the
raider, given by survivors at Per
nambuco said she had four tunnels.
The same rumor had it that the
four funnelled vessel was attended
by one passenger ship and two cargo
boats, one of which was flying the
American flag.
Practically every inch OF the east
south American coast line will have
been searched out within the next
few days. Warships from Brazil,
Argentine and Uruguay have taken
up the quest, seeking to prevent vio-
lation of the neutrality of their
waters, as well as a vast fleet or
allied warships.

Jefferson Canyon. one of the most
widely renowned and prolific of the
early-day Nevada mining districts,
is to be the scene of renewed ac-
tivity after an interval of many
years in which mining has been
conducted in a desotutory manner
and the picking" has been lean.
The old Jefferson mine is reputed
to have paid several millions of dol
lars in dividends and its success

said to have been the foundation OF
the great Crocker fortune, rivalling
in magnitude other famous stakes
that we're blasted from Nevada s
hills to create San Francisco aris-

Development work in the mines of
Goldfield is assuming a wider scope
and plans are being formulated for
development projects that will rival
in Importance and magnitude any
in the camps history. Deep mining,
on scale involving the expenditure
of large sums of money, is to be
panies and one project contemplates
the sinking of a big working shaft
e depth of 1000 feet or more.
TO companies aro now sinking deep
wines from their lowest levels, in
order to explore the veins below the
shale's surface, while others are ex-
tending their development work on
deep levels and planning still deeper
operations, with a view to opening
the deposits of copper-bearing gold
ore found in the deeper zones of
the district.
Lately there has been a marked re-
vival of activity in mining districts
tributary to Goldfield. The Horn
silver district appears to be approach
ing an era of great prosperity, as
the 250-ton reduction plant of the
Silvermines corporation will be op-
Grating within few days and will
treat custom ores as well as the
product from the cOmpany's mine.
The district embraces score or
more of properties on which good
mill ore has been exposed in COM
mercial quantity. At the new camp
of Tolicha a considerable amount of
the veins on the original discovery
claims are being opened up by men
in the employ of George Wingfiield.
The camp of Stimler has been re-
vived and plans are being drawn for
a mill on the Stimler property. In
the old Sylvania district smelter
is being constructed and in the Gold
Mountain district number of
properties are again operating, while
attention is again being directed to
the Mt Jackson-Cuprite copper belt.
Expansion that is now apparent in
the scope of operations in the Gold
field district is accepted as a good
augury for an active market for
Goldfield stocks in the near future.
The usual dull season, invariably
marking the lowest point in stock
values of the year, Is nearing an end,
and mine conditions are regarded as
warranting considerable higher lev
els for practically the entire list of
Goldfield issues.

S|LVERM|NtS CORPORATION
HAS FINISHED MILL
AT HORNSILVER

Hornsilver, a camp with a dozen
years in state of suspended ami
nation by lack of water and ore
treatment facilities, is about to
come into it's rightful heritage of ma
terial prosperity and will soon take
rank among the important bullion
producing districts of Nevada. The
long-desired, vitality needed reduc-
tion plant has come, together with
a bountiful supply of pure water.
Mines in the old Lime Point dis
trict, now Hornsilver, were produc-
tive many years ago, when silver ore
CT high grade was mined from shall
low surface slopes and freighted by
team to Candelaria or Austin for
treatment. Some eight years ago
the camp, renamed Hornsilver, had
an incipient boom, which collapsed,
together with the townsite STAN
.pede, owing to the absence of wa
ter supply and paucity of funds
for development.
Success in the opening OF the
Great Western mine was the basis
of the Hornsilver boom. The prop
erty shipped many thousands OF dol
lars worth of high-grade silver-gold
ore and exposed a substantial ton
mage of good mill ore. Other prop
critics have shipped some ore, but
excessive costs of tranSDOrta ton in
volving a 16-mile haul to the rail
road, precluded the marketing of any
but the richest ore and it has long
been realized that only by securing
local market could the mines be
operated at a satisfactory profit.

BUTTE GID. CO.
TO CROSS-CUT
GOOD ASSAYS ARE OBTAINED IN
SINKING COMPANY'S
SHAFT

Recent reports of operations of
the Butte Consolidated company, on
it's property in the Gold Mountain
district, 3S miles south of Goldfield,
indicate that results have surpassed
the expectations of the management.
1t is said that assays up to nearly
$50 per ton have been obtained in
a little less than 100 feet, apparently
in an off-shoot from the main vein,
as the shaft has been sunk in the
country rock and it was not expected
that ore would be found in sinking.
1t has been the plan of the men
in charge to crOss-cut for the vein on
the 10O-foot level, with the expec
tation of penetrating the vein within
from Is to 20 feet of the shas', ana
this work will be started in few
days, as soor as a working station
can be cut on the 100-foot level.
The property is equipped With
gasoline engine and hoiTt and the
miners are said TO have made good
progress in sinking. This properly

veins in the Great Western mine
have been opened on various levels

mine presents no complex problems
either in geology or metallurgy
Through negotiations conducted
by S. II. Brady, formerly manager of
some of the principal mines at To-
nopah. possession of the Great West
ern mine was secured several months
ago by the Silvermines corporation,
an association of mine operators, and
financial backing was supplied
through Charles A. Stoneham of
New York, who operated on a large
scale in Goldfield during and after
the boom period. The new company
acquired other property adjoining
the Great Western group and now
has claims, including the townsite
group.
In his capacity as general manager
for the Silvermines corporation, Mr..
Brady proceeded to make plans,
which he has since carried out ener-
getically, for the operation of the
property on a liberal scale The
model 250-ton mill and elaborate
mechanical equipment have been
completed, main working shaft is
being sunk to depth, the last sec
tions of pipe for the eight and
one-half mile water supply line are
being laid and the property has been
supplied with minute equip
ment in every department

but the old shaft was abandoned,
excepting for use in ventilating and
constructing underground ore-pock
cts. The old incline shaft was
made the main working shaft and
is now down over 455 feet, following
the dip of the vein, and has passed
through several good Ore-shoots.
Ore and waste pockets have been
cut on all main levels in this shaft,
which has s by timbers, with cen
ters at three-foot intervals near the
collar of the shaft and by at
greater depth. Sinking is now in
progress several raises are being
driven and ore is being blocked out
on various levels.
Motive power for the entire plant,
including hoist, crusher, compressor,
belt cOnveyors, lighting and all mill
units, is generated by oil-burning
engines. Power for the entire mill
is supplied by a 20O-horsepower

KEWANAS DRIFT

OURAGING RESULTS OBTAIN.
EDIN SOUTHERN PART
OF MINE

Development work in the property
of the Reorganized Kewanas COM
pany has reached a point in the
southern part of the group where
early results of Importance are eX-
pected with the utmost confidence.
On the S4O-foot level crOss-cut has
been extended for long distance to
the southeast, cutting through the
main vein or ore-channel diagOnally,
and it is now apparent that this
cross-cut has reached point near
the hanging wall and drift has been
started to the south, following the
trend of the vein.
Seams of good ore have been ex-
posed at various points in the prog
ress of this work and during the past
few days many good assays have
been obtained, some running we'll
into shipping grade figures. Accord
ing to the best expert opinion the
conditions here are decidedly favor
able for the occurrence of high
grade orebodies and there is good
reason to believe that the further
development of this part of the prop
erty will place the mine in the list
of producers.
Conditions in the northern part
of the property are also regarded as
satisfying and large tonnage of
excellent flotation ore, in addition
to some good shipping grade. has
been exposed in the progress of de-
velopment work here.
