.BLUESTOAE PLANT
OF BIG CAPACITY
NINE IN YERINGTON DISTRICT
NOW HAS FINE EQUIP
MENT

Very few of the residents of the
Yerington Mining district have any
idea of the immense amount of capt.
tai that has been spent by mining
companies in the district in the way
of machinery and equipment, neces-
sary for the economical operation
of the mines. The building of rail-
roads, smelters, teaching plants, and
other equipment of the properties
with hosting and compressed air
machinery, invalues an expenditure
of about 100000.
One of those having recently
made very large expenditures for
the operation of the mine, is the
Bluestone Mining and Smelling Co.,
owned by Captain j. A. Delamar Of
New York City, who have built 2k
miles of standard gauge railroad,
from the town of Mason to within
ga of a mile of the big tunnel,
through which the ore is taken
out of the mine. At this upper ter
minal a number of sidetracks are
laid, forming a large railroad yard,
a two-story round-house, two large
fuel oil tanks, enclosed by a sub
stantial building, have been erected
and are now almost ready for their
purpose.
A 75-ton, 1O-wheel Heiser loco
motive is the motive power, hauling
mine supplies to the upper termin-
al and ore down the hill to the
lower, at the upper terminal this
steam road connects with a narrow
gauge operated by electric loco
motives, running into the big tun-
mel and to the mine ore-chutes. At
the tunnel, is as fine a plant of
mining machinery as one could wish
to see.
The compressor house containing
the 20-drill air compressOrs, cleo
trio motors, generators, switch
board and pumps; the supply shop
and house for the electric locomo-
tives; the mine superintendent Off
ce, ase all we'll constructed build
ings, the new office building, now
under construction, is a large up
to-date, modern one, having all the
conveniences of a modern city build
ing. The interior of the old board
ing house has been completely re-
modelled, baths, ETC., installed, MAX
ing it a modern building. A new
bunk house which will accommo-
date quite a number of miners, has
recently been built, additions made
to the row of dwellings, a big new
$4,000 gal. water tank will soon
be completed, which with the old
$4,000 gal. tank will give plenty
of water for all purposes.-Mason

ed by drifts. In view of the fact
that most of the exceedingly rich
ore produced from this great vein
farther to the north came from
above the 500-foot level, the first
work of the Red Hill Florence COM
pany will be to explore the vein
at this depth, but drifts will also
be opened on the deeper levels. The
equipment provided for this work is
of ample capacity to enable the
company to work a large force and
to conduct its underground work

Silver Pick Cons.
Development work continues along
established lines in the main shaft,
at a depth of 100 feet, where
drifts are exploring the wide zone
of quartz and silicified material
penetrated by the shaft. In the
northern part of the property some
prospecting work has been started
by Manager Dyer, working from the
old Won PolenZ lease shaft, where
r of good grade is said to have
been found in leasing operations
several years ago

On the 32O-foot level, the east
cross-cut has advanced 500 feet and
apparently is nearing the main Co
lumbia Mountain fault vein, at a
point where it is believed to form a
junction with the Rabbit Trail vein.
The opening of the vein at this depth
is being looked forward to with the
keenest expectancy by mining men
here, as the presence of large bodies
of good mill ore on upper levels,
within this vein, stimulates the hope
that ore of better grade will be
found at this depth and that the
mine will o be placed in the first
rank of producers. A large force
Of men is employed and the mine
has the best of equipment.
Grandma Consolidated
More rapid progress is now being
made in sinking the main shaft of
the Grandma, which has reached a
depth of over $40 feet and apparent
ly is nearing the hanging wall of
the main Grandma vein. The fact
hat rich ore was found in this vein
a short distance to the south and at
a depth of $50 feet lends substance
to the belief that important develop
ments will attend the opening of the
vein at depth in the Grandma prop
erty.
Red Hill Florence
Three working shifts of miners are
employed in clearing out the work
ings on the 500-foot level, and with
this work completed drifts will be ad-
vanced both ways on the big vein.
The cross-cut through the vein show
ed a number of rich seams of ore,
but work was stopped at this point
by the old company. The surface
plant is one of the best in the dis
trict and will permit of rapid work
in exploring this ground at depth.

AN HOUR WITH THE CHILDREN
BY PEARL CHENOWETH.

Many Woodworking woman is forced
to deny her children faithful companion
ship because of things in life that must
be attended to- Often her manifold cares
are so pressing that it is hard to know
what can be left undone, but every moth
er should so arrange her duties that one
hour each day may be devoted to the
children. This may be made the most
enjoyable as well as the most profitable
hour in the allotment of her time, and no
cares, however urgent, should be allowed
to lntrude on this sacred hour.
1t will not add to the bank account,
but it will add to the length and happi-
ness of her years as nothing else can, and
it is certain that the children will cherish
a hallowed memory of this hour while
life lasts
This is the mothers great opportunity
for giving her children a permanent love
of good literature. The fine old myths
and fairy tales are now put into the
simplest language. The child who be-
comes familiar with them very early in
life is started toward a fine literary edu-
cation. When one can read the best
books Understandings, it brings a keen
enjoyment to the mind, it creates a posi-
tive dislike for trashy reading, and fits
one for association with the best people.
There is 40 need to fear for the futu1 e

best in literature with mother

were things that Cuba could do to prove
her devotion to the cause of world-de-

States. She cleared out the German spies
and propagandIsts and barred her waters
TO German submarines She seized the
German merchantmen in her ports and
gave them to Uncle Sam to use in trans
porting men and supplies. And then she
began preparing TO take an active part
herself in the expulsion of the Huns from
France. The most pressing need of the
Allies is overwhelming aerial supremacy.

HOW GERMANY MAKES WAR.

The crime of German diplomacy, if
such a mild term as "crime" can de-
scribe the business, will soon be known
completely. 1t will help explain to some
irreconcilables why the present German
government cannot be trusted to make
and keep an honest peace.
Among the deliberate activities of Ger
many's chief agency in America have
been these: Violation of the laws of the
United States; destruction of lives and
property in merchant vessels on the high
seas; Irish revolutionary plots against
Great Britain; fomenting ill-feeling
against the United States in Mexico;
subornation of American writer's and
lecturers; financing of propaganda; main
tenance of spy system under the guise
of a commercial investigation bureau;
subsidizing of a bureau for the purpose of
stirring trouble in munition plants; the
bomb industry.
The Wolf Won Igel papers were Ger
man confessions truly confession az
though they had been signed and sealed
by the Kaiser.
And America is only beginning to learn
what other nations already know of Ger
many's secret preparations for war.

Well Done, Bar Barbor.

The third season of the Bar Harbor war
relief has been the most productive of
all. During it's eleven weeks of activity
$40, 900 have been raised. More than 500
workers have contributed to the work.
More than 425, 900 surgical dressings, 8, 700
knitted and sewed garments, together
with quantities of blankets, pillows and
hospital supplies, making in all 100 large
packing cases that have been prepared,
shipped and distributed among the Ma
tional Red Cross, the United States Navy
and all of our Allies on the fighting front.
Volunteers from neighboring places, in
Guiding Winter Harbor, Bass Harbor,
Colts Island and Egg Rock contributed
work. Enthusiastic morning and after
noon sessions have been carried on in
rooms of the High school building, at
which both the residents and summer
visitors worked with equal interest.

Portland Diver Finds Ring.

Robert Chase of Portland, deep sea
diver, packed up his diving suit and went
down to Beauchmont Point, dived into
"a feet of water and recovered a So, 900
diamond ring which had been lost by
Mrs. Alexander Biddle of Philadelphia a
couple of days ago while she was waiting
on the wharf for the Rockland boat. He
was submerged only four minutes. When
the ring slipped from her finger she &C
curately noted the place it hit the water,
and as the diamond was family heirloom
she determined that it must be recovered
So she made inquiries regarding expert
enced divers, and Chase was recommend
ed, Her directions to him were so accur-
ate that he reached the bottom within
six feet of the ring. The young man
was literally rewarded for his dive, one
of many he has made within the past few
years for similar purposes.

There is no real mystery about the
peace talk in which the German censor
ate is permitting the German press to in
dulge itself. The German government is
at it's familiar trick of fooling the Ger
man people into thinking it is. offering
peace terms in order that it may say to
them later that by refusing to consider a
kaiser's peace, Germany's enemies are
responsible for the hardships that another
winter of war will bring. The kaiser
knows he is beaten. He also knows that
open and frank acknowledgements of that
fact would bring peace, and that peace
cannot come until he throws up his hands,
crying out the "Kamerade" that means
unconditional surrender. The kaiser, how
ever, is not ignorant of the fact that I'M
conditional surrender would mean the
overthrow of kaiserism for all time
