REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

For some time to come the inter-
est of mining men is destined to be
directed to work that is now in prog
ress in the Goldfield district, involv
ing the exploration at great depth of
veins that have produced over 800
UUU,0O0 from zones lying within the
volcanic flows and above the sedi-
mentary shale or the underlying
granite. Work now going forward
at several points is designated to ex-
plore these veins far below the shale
and well within the alaskite or gran
ite.
In connection with this work and
it's possible Influence upon the flu
by experienced mining men that in
Cripple Creek, as well as in ather
districts where rich surface depos-
it's have been found, the great
wealth of the mines was not :eveal-
ed until the veins had been opened at
depth, within the granite. Expert
authorities, including some o. The
foremost biologists of the country,
have expressed the belief that the
history of such districts would be
repeated in Goldfield; that while
these veins, when explored at great
depth, would not disclose Orebodies
of the bonanza grade found nearer
the surface, they would be found to
contain far larger deposits and of
a grade that would return substan-
tial profits under economical meth
oGs Of treatment.
Such a result, it has long been
pointed out, would make for a great
er degree of permanence and insure
greater ultimate profits than the
less certain, if more stimulating,
quest for deposits of rich ore such
in the district, but which have in
many cases proved to be of limited
volume. Development work of this
character that is now being carried
forward is in large measure dead
work and is not in stage where
any notable results can be expected,
but the best authorities maintain
that there is every reason for en-
couragement and confidence in the
outcome and concrete results should
be forthcoming in the near future.
Goldfield Consolidated
A feature of the September final
report of operations of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company, just is
sued by Manager Hutchinson, is the
statement that a substantial tonnage
of gold-copper ore is now being min
ed from the deepest levels, the 1850
and 1850, of the Grizzly Bear mine,
the most southerly of the Consolidat-
ed group that has been developed
extensively at depth. This state
ment gains added significance from
the fact that in the company's ear
lier operations a large tonnage of
high-grade shipping ore was ex-
tracted from this territory, a single
stope opened from the 1350-foot lev
ell near this point having produced
upwards of s550,000 worth of
smelling ore Other parts of the
company's mines continue to yield

connecting with the Junior drift, a
series of raises will be driven from
the cross-cut and drift of the Ke-
wanas to explore the hanging wall
country. The company will then
also resume active work in the
northern part of the property, where
orebodies of good value have been
exposed.
Cracker Jack Mine
Development work of the ReOr-
ganized Cracker Jack company has
reached an interesting stage and the
management has found no little en-
couragement in the results of the
past week. From point near the
face of the long east cross-cut on
the 320-foot level raise has been
extended over 40 feet and apparent
the Rabbit Trail vein. This vein,
having a trend parallel to that of
the main vein, has been the objec-
tive point of the large amount of
dead work performed by the COM
pany in recent months and is re-
garded as vein of great promise,
having yielded many good assays in
gold from the surface groupings
Drifts in the main vein, farther
west, have exposed quantities of
low-grade milling ore.
Great Bend Mine
Conditions in the Great Bend
mine continue to afford satisfaction
to the management and shipments
OF smelling ore are going to the
sampler regularly, this product
a, eraging from $35 to $50 per ton.
A new stope is now being opened
which gives promise of making a
So bstantial production of shipping
ore. This is a short distance east
of the main stope on the 160foot
level, in which ore of excellent
of over 60 feet The same ore
shoot has been opened on the 800
foot level and raise, following
the ore from the lower level, has
connected with the upper level
proving the ore to be continuous
The lower level is being advanced
tC the east and is now nearing the
old DR.. Lockhart lease shaft, in
which the high-grade ore was ex-
posed
Red Hill Florence
A large area in the main Flor
ence vein is being covered by de-
velopment work on the 500-foot
level and on the Intermediates from
raises above this level in Red Hill
Florence territory. Drifts are be-
ing extended far to the north and
south and work is now being direct
ed to points on two levels where il
is believed there is a good chance
o; picking up the extension of bon
anza orebodies opened in the ad-
joining Florence property and which
apparently extend, on the upward
incline of the big vein, into Red
Hill Florence territory. A large
amount of dead work has been per

EXIT: WHITE ELEPHANTS.
Saturday Evening With Good Busi-
ness and Fine Concert.

Well, it g over-the Suffrage Sale for
Sammies-and by now the multicolored
white elephants, assembled at the Uni
tartan Church, are securely installed in
hundreds of homes in Kenosha. Furni-
ture, clothing and bric-a-brac, every
thing went on Saturday night and left
the suffragists to congratulate them
selves on their s.iccess and count up the
money that they had made for the sol
diers. Incidentally the latter will be
a rather substantial sum and will go to
the Evening News Fund now supplying
"Smokes for Sammies."
A feature of the closing days enter
tainments was the singing of Caroline
Meis. Dressed in khaki uniform she
made real Chit with her renditions
of the patriotic songs ct May be Gone
for a Long Long Time ''7and "Send Me
Away With Smile. - Clever, petite
and generally charming, she elected
storms of applause from an apprecia-
tive audience and contributed novel
act to bill already crowded with ar
tistic presentations
That the sufragists are working for
patriotism in every form was demon
strated by the speeches of Mrs. B. K.
Dorr on the closing day of the sale.
With comprehension of financial val
ues not usually found in feminine minds
she presented the cause Of the second
Liberty Loan forcefully and effectively
to the audiences gathered to hear the
music and see the movies. Her speech
es carried unusual "punch" and un-
doubtedly did much to popu1arize the
government bonds among the women
who were fortunate enough to hear
them.

FOR LIBERTY MEN.
Trevor Fetes the Men in the Town of
Salem Who VIII Soon be Members
of the National Army.

With whole-hearted hospitality and
unsurpassed patriotism the people of
Trevor paid their respects to the Lib
erty Men of the town of Salem in a
dance given at the Trevor Hall on Sat
urday evening. Flags AMI flowers ar
tistica1ly arranged made the room a
bower of beauty for the ball and gave
the national atmosphere desirable in
function for the soldiers of Unclo Sam.
Excellent music by the Schmitt-Krah
orchestra, of Kenosha furnished the in
spiration for the eight fantastic - and
made the evening generally enjoyable.
AS fitting interlude between two SER
les of dances Judge Randall made a
stirring patriotic speech. Commencing
the people of Trevor for their patriot
ism in the past he expressed the belief
that their present nationalism was in
keeping with the old spirit and compli-
mented them highly upon the impulse
which had prompted hem to honor the
Liberty Men. t'They arc going to fight
our battles" he said, "and are conse-
quently deserving of our support and
our honor" Following the program Of
oratory and dancing delightful lunch
con was served for tho registered men.
Menu and music were alike good and
made this feature of the ENTERTAINMENT
one of the most enjoyable parts of the
evenings entertainment. At a late
hour the Liberty Men and their friends
departed for their several homes with
new determination to eight it out"
and make the world safe for democra-
cy, religion and civilization.

WILL TEACH RED CROSS WORK.
Mrs. A1nes Of Chicago will be Here on
Thursday to Instruct Glasses in the
Preparations of Dressings.

On Thursday afternoon and evening
Mrs. Ames of Chicago will begin a SER
les Of lectures at the local Red Cross
rooms on the preparation of surgical
dressings. Her talks will mark the be-
ginning of instruction in two of the
Kenosha classes, namely, those enrolled
with Mrs. Arthur Fisher and those reg
istered from the office force of the Sim
mons Company. The work will be en-
inenty practical and will equip the
women for service at home or abroad.
It will emphasize especially the prep
aration of bandages at the rooms of
Red Cross units and will undoubtedly
stimulate this branch of service at the
local headquarters. Mrs. Ames has had
wide experience in the Chicago associa-
ton and comes highly recommended by
the national officials. With a proper
response from her class her instruction
will undoubtedly be effective and do
much to increase the efficiency of the
Kenosha county Red Cross unit in the
preparation of dressings for the armies
of truth and freedom.

ALL WATER FILTERED NOW.
Water Commissioners Announce That
the City Plant Is In shipshape and
That Water Is Perfect.

You need no longer be afraid of the
water in the faucet in the kitchen as
this morning the Water Department an
nounced that all the changes in the new
water plant had been completed and all
water supplied through the mains today
was filtered water. It will take few
hours to get the mains cleaned out and
get rid of the last trace of the water
from the old plant but men from the
department are busy flushing the mains
and they declare that by this evening
the water will be clear. as crystal and
just as pure as it is clear. There are a
few minor changes to be made in the
mains before the new plant is in COM
plete working order but these changes
will in no way interfere with the sup
plying of pure water to the people. The
tests made Of the weter today showed
that it was not only safe but purer than
any water that has been furnished from
the lake in the past.

HOLD BOY As AUTO Thief
Harold Croniker, Ten Years Old, Charg.
ed With Taking Automobile in Keno
sha and Borrowing" Bicycle il
Racine for Return to Home Town.

The Kenosha police force cut two
more notches of honor in the stick this
morning for the recovery of stolen auto
mobiles and on Sunday two autos stolen
IN Kenosha on Saturday night and
Sunday morning were returned to their
owners. A ten-year-old boy is held by
the police charged with the theft of
one of the automobiles while the police
are still searching for the men who
took the other.
Bert Stevens, well known member of
the Racine lodge of Eagles, came down
to Kenosha on Saturday night to visit
with the Kenosha members of the order.
With a party of friends he spent the
evening at the club house and left the
automobile, a new Cellar, in front
of the building. When he was ready
to go home just after eleven o'clock,
it was found that Che automobile was
gone. The alarm was sent to the police
and after searching much of the night
the police found the Stevens car in a
ditch at the south end of the concrete
highway on Sheridan Road. It was evil
dent that the thieves had abandoned it
after it was disabled.
While the police were bringing in the
Stevens car the word reached the de-
partment that the Ford truck of the
Martin Pop company had been stolen
from in front of Germania Hall on Mil
waukee Avenue. Half an hour later
the word came from Racine that the
disabled truck had been abandoned in
that city by ten-year-old boy. It was
found to be Harold Croniker who was.
arrested by the police this morning and
is booked on charge of grand larceny.
The youth disappeared from his home
on last Saturday at 10 O'Clock in the
morning and his parents had appealed
to the police to seek him. Young Croni-
ker had ridden back to Kenosha on a
bicycle and the police declared that he
admitted that he borrowed" the bicy-
Gle in Racine. The youth had little
to say in regard to taking the automo-
bile more than that he wanted to take a
ride. His case will come up in the
Municipal Court late this afternoon or
on Tuesday.

HAS CLOSE CALL WITH DEATH
Surgeons Take Six Stitches in His Head
and He Is Able to Be Out But Ready
to Sell the Automobile Is Sup
posed to Have Ambled Away.

ST don t know what became of the
darned dog..' It was Alderman Gus
Hoppe, the rather eccentric alderman
of the Ninth ward, who spoke thus feel
ingly as he passed his hand over badly
battered Uranium and declared that he
had an automobile on the market and
that he was ready to sell it at loss SO
long as he got rid of it. Alderman
Hoppe has been one Of the real friends
of the dogs and he went the limit for
on Saturday night he risked his life just
to save dog and according to the best
reports the dog ambled away from the
scene of the carnage without even so
much as wag of his tail to show his
appreciation of the sacrifice. Alderman
Hoppe has no information on this part
of the story for when they we're looking
for the dog Hoppe was lying along the
curb on Prairie Avenue counting stars
and waiting for the ambulance to pick
him up and take him TO the hospital.
The alderman drove west along Prairie
avenue just after seven o'clock Satur.
day night. He had made an engage
ment to go to the country with one of
his friends to bring in a load of onions.
Possibly he was thinking little more
Of the succulent onions than the road
ahead of him. He was 'just 1oafing
along0, to use his own words, when a
big collie dog strolled directly in front
of his Ford. Hoppe wanted to save the
dog and he turned the car and put his
foot on the brake at the same time.
The car not only turned to the right
but it kept turning and turned clear
over. A few minutes later when
George Crandall came along he found
the alderman pinned under the steering
wheel of the automobile He dug him
out and found that he was unconscious.
An ambulance was called and Hoppe
was taken to the hospital where sur
geons took six stitches in his head. He
regained Consciousness late in the even
ing and was able to leave the hospital
on Sunday.
The automobile was pretty well
wrecked as result of the .spill''. The
alderman insisted today that he was
changing his mind on the dog question
and that he would not go through his
"flirt with death" again for all the
dogs in Wisconsin.
Saturday night also brought another
report of an automobile accident to the
police department. I. v. Yingst, driver
Of jitney, had his automobile badly
damaged when it collided with street
