and the exacting terms of the option
are understood to have figured in ar
irving at a decision to abandon the
enterprise, although the opinion still
prevails that with further develop
ment at depth the property may
prove to be one of substantial value.
1t is reported that the owners of
the adjoining Periscope group lately
refused to grant an extension of the
option on that property, held by To-
nopah mining men, and that negotia-
tions are now pending for the sale
of this property to other interests.
Owners of other claims in the Tolicha

ground lately and many expressions
of optimism are heard from those
who have acquired interests in the
district.

MINING SUIT TO
Be CONTESTED
EORMER SETTLEMENT IGNORED
IN ACTION AGAINST WALL
STREET co.

Suit has been filed in the district
court of Nye county by M. B. Aston
of Goldfield against the Wall Street
Copper company and Walter S. Nor
ris, Charles r. Evans and A. ii.
Howe, alleging that the plaintiff was
induced to part with his interest in
the company, amounting to some 81
500 shares, by misrepresentation on
the part of the defendants. The
plaintiff seeks to recover possession
of this stock, in addition to large
his share of the Wall Street COM
pany's earnings.
While the attorneys for the de-
fense, as well as their clients, have
declined to make any statement re-
garding the suit, it is learned that
in order to avoid litigation of ex-
actly this character a settlement was
effected with Aston some time ago.
in satisfaction of all claims against
the company and it's stockholders,
involving the payment to Aston of a
substantial sum of money. This
settlement was believed to have ter
minated all litigation, until the pres
ent action was filed, based upon
grounds of fraud.
1t is stated on good authority that
the defendants are prepared to deny
all the allegations in the complaint
and to fight the suit to finish, and
that they will contest with the ut
most vigor any attempts of the plain
tiff to enforce payments in excess of
what they regard as liberal and
final settlement Of all claims.

The latest development in the
Manhattan Consolidated discloses a
decided change in the east drift on
the 4O0-foot level. The face of the
drift shows brown oxide, which is
a splendid indication that they are
nearing the ore. On the levels
above the mud fault had to be cut
before any ore was encountered, and
the fact that it has not yet been en-
tered by the drift on the 400 level
would naturally lessen the expecta-
tons of getting ore in the present
face of the drift. However, it is
possible that a change in the char
acter of the formation has taken
place and that the ore will be reach
ed without apparently passing
through the mud fault. 1t will only
be a few days before this question is
definitely determined. The drift is
out something over 200 feet from
the shaft.
The west drift on the 3OO-foot lev
ell is making good progress without
any material change to report.

feet. The shaft bottom is in a
changed formation, close-grained
black lime showing. This strata di-
rectly overlies the coarse-grained
blue limestone in which the ore
shoots are encountered throughout
the eastern portion of the Manhat-
tan district.
The new wagon road to the mine
has been completed and an easy
grade directly to the shaft collar is
the result The heavy flow of wa
ter is gradually diminishing in vol
ume and the No. Cameron sinking
pump now handles the flow with
ease at all times except directly after
the rounds of shots are fired in the
shaft bottom. The pump handles
an average flow of 60 gallons per
minute so that it can be readily es-
timated the amount of water that
has been encountered in the Red Top
shaft.

There has been a notable eXpan-
sion of late in the scope of opera
tion of lessees in the GOldfield
district, as well as in the number of
leases operating and in the volume
of lease production. On the Gold
field Consolidated properties more
leases are now being worked than
at any time in the history of the
camp, while a considerable num-
ber are working on blocks of Flor
ence Goldfield ground and it has
just been announced that leases will
be granted on the Sandstorm-Ken-
dali Consolidated property, in the
northern part of the district and on
veins that have produced large
quantities of bonanza ore in the
past.
Leasing at present in Goldfield is
conducted for the most part by in
dividual mining men or small
groups of miners, in partnership,
and is essentially a poor mans OPP
portunity. In the early days of
the Goldfield district, when leases
we're granted on large areas of
virgin territory, leasing companies
were organized, financed on large
scale and leases were equipped with
costly machinery. Now the lessees
operate chiefly from established
levels, at varying depths and in ter
ritory that has been explored to
some extent, and in some instances
are provided with necessary tools,
timbers, trackage and hosting
equipment by the parent companies.
This system, which has not been in
practice for a period of great ex-
tent, will lead to the exploration of
much ground that holds important
possibilities for developing ore
bodies of value.
Developments at great depth, par
ticularly in the Atlanta and Jum-
bo Extension properties, continue to
attract widespread attention and to
stimulate predictions that Goldfield
is destined for a spectacular come
back in the not distant future. In
both the properties mentioned the
results obtained in exploring the
main vein far below levels formerly
worked have been highly significant,
proving the existence of a zone of
enrichment of character alto
gether different from any found
above and bearing out predictions
made by some of the most eminent
geologists in the country.

great, but is expected to increase
materially as depth is gained. This
vein was penetrated farther west
OH the 1750-fOot level where there
was no sign of pay ore and where
but little water was encountered.
All conditions support the belief
that both the ore and water found
in the vein where it is cut by the
winze have their origin in the main
lode, short distance to the east,
and interest centers upon the fu-
ture exploration of this big lode be-

has continued in highly mineral
lied formation, showing strong
seams of pay ore containing gold,
copper and traces of silver. The
company's Copper Mountain proper
ty is reported to be in shape to
make substantial production of
concentrating ore and plans have
been formed to organize a separate
company, under control of the Jum-
bo Extension, to take over and
operate this property.
ReOrganized Blue Bull
Some ore of high grade has been
exposed in new workings of the
Blue Bull company and some of this
ore has already been sacked for
shipment The rich ore, which
shows a free sprinkling of gold, was
opened at depth of 100 feet in the
northern part of the property, on the
Pig claim, and in extending workings
begun by the SimmerOne Mining
company when operating this round
under lease. With the further op-
ening of this level it is Manager
D'Arcy's plan to explore the vein on
the 250-fOot level, where drift has
been extended toward this ore-shoot.
ReOrganized kewanas
In the southern part of the Ke-
wanas property the main south drift,
progressing near the center of the
great vein, is now within 60 feet of
the point where connection will be
made with the northern workings of
the Jumbo Junior company, in
ground leased from the Kewanas and
near point where some rich ore
was exposed by the Junior company's
work. This connection will afford
much needed ventilation to both
mines and upon it's completion the
work of the Kewanas will be carried
forward with greater expedition.
The southeast cross-cut, also on the
S40-foot level, is advancing to ex-
plore the hanging-wall side of the
ore-channel.

Shipments are going forward to
the sampler regularly, the late storm
having caused little delay to team
ing October shipments were over
200 tons of good average grade.
Ore of shipping grade is exposed at
several points on the 100 and 300
foot levels and the new raise from
the lower level has been in ore of
good uniform grade. Some spectacu-
lar assays have resulted from recent
samplings of the Slopes above the
160-fcot level and the average of
shipments has ranged from $50 to
$50 per ton.

NO GAIN WITHOUT LOSS.

The proposed cloture in the United
States Senate is one OF those things
which are not all gold because they
glitter. In fact, heretofore, the Sen
ate filibuster has been a delightsome
thing, in very large number OF in
stances. 1t has defeated the MAORI
tvs aim to take the whole hog in the
matter of public pork" and often has
STAYED off private graft claims. A
process which blocks the ship subsidy
grab and such villainous measures as
the Shields bill is not totally destitute
OF virtue. Often the tilibuster has been
the only possible means by which an
honest fearless and patriotic minor
ity could block rascality.
But, in principle, the filiDuster is
wrong. 1t spells defeat of popular
representation. 1t is like; a drug that
may be beneficial onbsiswhen taken

1t may be good on occa-
sion, to have band Of Fesentatives
in the Senate with outrage enough
to defy the majority and the admins
tration, but compensation for the loss
of this possession lies in our own
hands. We must be more particular
about selecting Senators. TO elect
a man to the Senate, demand courage
and conscience of him and then have
to hang him in effigy looks silly.
What we possibly lose by cloture we
can make up for by selecting fewer
Senators likely to deserve hanging.

SENATORIAL COURTESY.

BY invoking senatorial courtesy"
Gum Shoe Bill Stone has defeated
the nationwide demand that he be
deposed from the Craftsmanship OF
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations. -.
Gum Shoe Bill" will be found in
the same vitality important position
when congress convenes for the extra
session April 16.
This means that the president and
his cabinet either will have to deal
with the senate in all matters con-
corning foreign relations through an
avowed enemy of the administrations
policy or not deal with it at all.
They probably will adopt the lat
ter policy, as it would be unsafe to
do otherwise. s,s,. ~ g..
H6w can the senate expect that the
president or his advisers can have
any confidential relations with Gum
Shoe Bill'?
The gum shoe" person has already
leaked one important navy secret
and there can be no assurance that
he will not leak" another at the first
opportunity.
The mental processes of the sena-
tors who put senatorial courtesy
ahead of national welfare at this crit
ical time are beyond the understand
ing of us common folk.
Just consider for a moment: Here
is a man who by the merest accident
of seniority lands in the most i'm
portant position in the senate. He
uses that position to embarrass the
president in the midst of grave ma
tional crisis. Then he gives away an
important navy secret which he has
obtained because of his position. He
does everything in his power to make
it appear to Germany, which is threat
ening US with war, and to all the
rest of the world, that the United
States is divided in its allegiance to
the president. He leads successful
fllibuster which prevents a nine
tenths majority of his fellow-senators
from voting to sustain the president
in his determination to defend Amer
lean lives and ships on the free
oceans. And Immediately following
the final act in this unAmerican rec
ord, before the wave of righteous
popular protest has reached its crest
his fellow-senators reappoint him to
the position he has befouled, for no
better reason than senatorial cour-
tesy." .-.-.s
Is it surprising that the confidence
which the people used to have in the
senate has been reduced almost to
the vanishing point?

MOTHER OF PROGRESS.

Someone has we'll said that war has
been the mother of progress in Rus
STA. Overnight autocracy has been
vanuuished and the nucleus OF pop
ular government established. This
revolt should bind the Entente in
closer union, for all of the Allies now
have democratic forms of government
Those opposing the Allies have auto
cratic forms of government, so that
the issues are more closely defined
and the world watches with renewed
interest the fighting efficiency Of the
two forms of government-the auto
cratic and the democratic.
The emergency Of war made it pos
sible for Russia to triumph over the
traditions of centuries and bring about
constitutional monarchy without
shedding blood. Conscious now OF its
own racial unity, Russia stands out
as one of the few inspiring spectacles
of the war.
She has fought few successful wars
as far as the world may judge sue
cess, but each war has been Of an in
finite value in promoting and stimu
lating a spirit Of nationalism without
which no great wars can be won.
The Napoleonic struggles sowed the
first seeds of liberalism. In 1872
there followed the Decembrist upris
ing crushed by autocratic rule, but the
spirit of revolt manifested itself in no
uncertain manner.
Readers of history recall that the
disastrous Crimean war was followed
by the generous rule of Alexander Il
and the emancipation of the serfs
Reverses in Japan in 1905 eliminated
in the constitutional revolt OF 1903
and the present war brought about
the overthrow of an arrogant and dic-
tatorial bureaucracy.
This is one of the first fruits of the
war. Russian needed to conquer and
find herself before she could win any
battles. just how whole-hearted the
revolution has been will be reflected
on the battle front The upheaval is
q protest against the German party
in Russia, which would continue the
benefits of special privilege by sep
