Childhood Memories

Isn't it a fact that some of the things that happened to you in child hood are still among the most vivid things in your memory?
 Childhood impressions are lasting. As the twig is inclined, the tree Will grow. If you teach the child the sav- ing habit by starting a bank account, the habit will grow. Many parents realize this and have had their chll- dren open accounts at our bank They are taught to save pennies, the nickles and the dimes. In after years 1t Is easy for them to save the dollars also You couldn't do better by your chll' dren than to help them start little bank account.

June Elvidge, the lustrous beauty of World Brady pictures, seems to have "struck her gait" as the horsemen say. As an actress of wicked ladies who lay their lures to snare the hero, there is nobody in the movie world who excels her. This will be entirely apparent to every person who sees "rhe Social Leper," in which Miss Elvidge is a vision to make St. An thony exceedingly restless in his grave.

BELL DISTRICT IS
GAINING IN FAVOR
NEVADA LEAD MINES WILL BE
PROGRAMMED BI SALT
LAKEIS

The Bell mining district, east OF
Nina, in which Fred j. Siebert is
carving on extensive operations,
looks like one of the big corners the
present year. Recently p. A. Simon
purchased a half interest in the
Nevada lead mines, owned and OPP
Grated for several years by w. Fl.
Sanders, and this week j. H. Miller
took an option on the property and
has gone to Salt Lake City to place
the proposition before capitalists of
that place. The Nevada Lead Mines
property consists of a large acreage
of highly mineralized ground, and is
one of the biggest, considering some
what limited development, lead, sill
yer and zinc propositions in Miner
al county. A few years ago several
shipments we're made from the es-
tate, but owing to the low price of
lead at that time, and also to the
fact that the zinc content of the ore
was penalized by the smelters, the
property was closed down. Should
the present pending deal go through
the property will be operated on an
extensive basis and regular ship
ments made to the smelter.
Mr.. Miller, while in Salt Lake
City, will take up the proposition
with his associates of resuming OPP
eratiOns on the Harvey and Taylor
property, which he, p. A. Simon and
associates took over a few months
ago. This is a free gold PROPOSE
ton with a large tonnage of good
grade commercial ore developed. The
present plans of the company, which
hes been Incorporated. contemplates
the installation of a mill and cyanide
plant, the ore being ideal for this
method Of treatment. The company
is well equipped for the installation
of a plant of this kind, as it has an
annie supply of water.
Manager Siebert of the Olympia
Mines company is pushing develop
ment on the Royal George group and
but fer the bad spell of weather and
snow would have had the new mill
completed and in commission on ore.
A party of Salt Lake people are
develoning a highly promising prop
erty in the vicinity of the Royal
George and have a good showing OF
ore. Morris and Stevens are devel,
owing their holdings and have one
of the most promising showings il
the district for the making of a bic
producing mine.-Mina Miner.

The derailed engine was lying across
the track when it was discovered by
the engineer of a Santa Fee passer-
ger train travelling on the same
track. Davis was instantly killed by
being caught under the engine and
nalzell vas so badly injured that it
was necessary to remove him to a
hospital in Los Angeles. All trains
were delayed several hours by the
wreck.

SPARTA MINE WILL
RECEIVE ATTENTION
PROPERTY SITUATED WEST OF
NINA IS THOROUGHLY
EQUIPPED

According to information given
out by President w. E. Bell of the
Sparta Mining company, the cor
poration is to resume active and eX-
tensive development of its holdings
at Silver Summit, eight miles west
of Nina. The company has a shaft
down about 80 feet with drifts run
in different directions, which have
opened good commercial ore They
also installed a gasoline hoist a
short while back to expedite the
sinking of the shaft to greater depth.
John G. Myers, secretary of the COM
pany, who has been in the east for
some time raising funds for the de-
velopment of the company's holdings,
returned this week very %jubilant
over the successful outcome of his
trip. He was accompanied by Rob-
Reno, who is interested in the COM
pany. At a meeting this week the
following directorate was elected:
Robert Secular, w. e. Bell, George
Stasinopulos, Frank Strasser and
Dick WINNER. w. E. Bell IA elect
ed president ana treasurer; George
Stasincpulos, vice president; j.. G.
Meyer, secretary, and w. f. Bell is
resident agent.
Adjoining the company's holdings,
Oscar WutZler this week opened a
copper ledge, specimens of which
went 20 per cent. Sufficient work
has not yet been done to demonstrate
the extent of the find, but the pres
ent showings of high grade seem to
indicate that another bonanza mine
has been added to Mineral county's
long list. Wutzler, Notwithstanding
the bad spell of weather, is pushing
the work of driving the tunnel on
the ledge.
Several other properties are be-
ing developed in the same section
and two of them will begin ship
ments as soon as the weather per-
mits. The outlook for that section
this spring is very bright.-Western

GROOM DISTRICT
TAKING ON LIFE
LACK OF TRANSPORTATION IA
CLITIES HAS PROVEN
DRAWBACK

The Groom mines are noted for
t1eir shipments of high grade ores.
The product is about the cleanest
that has reached the Salt Lake
smelters cu1ing the last year. 1t
comes from a big limestone reef that
cuts the country north and south for
several miles, f1anked on either side
by other limestone reefs, o. ledScs,
of smaller size, the majority of
which dip to the east at al angle of
about IS degrees. The combined
width of these sbales and limestones
is something like $500 feet.
East, west and north of this the
country rock is generally quartz,
carrying gold and silver, principal
ly. Many new locations have been
made since the first of the year, and
bringing into camp specimens OF gold
and silver bearing quartz has grown
so common that they create little or
no comment. Active work on a
number of these claims will begin as
soon as the weather moderates and
supplies are plentiful, for the
heavy snow and the consequent
blocking of the roads has run the
camp at a low ebb on everything
household provisions.
The main thing that has prevented
prospecting in the Groom district
in past years has been lack of trans
portation facilities to get ore out and
supplies in. This has been effect
by the use of both trucks and the
caterpillar tractor. No matter what
failures may have attended the
cat" in other sections, it is a decid-
ed success over the desert road of
60 miles between Groom and Indian
Springs. 1t is a road maker instead
of a road breaker. 1t beds the dusty
stretches down at seasons of the
year when other types of trucks cut
them up and render the road impass-
able. With a moderate amount of
money spent to crown up the poorer
parts of the road and also take out
a few pitches, loads of As tons can
be hauled, and with this rail facili-
ties will not be needed for the devel-
opment of the district for some time
o come. if at all.
The Groom mine has shipped an
excess of 100000 pounds of lead
and $4,000 ounces of silver in the
past year, and this output is to be in
creased this year. These are the two
principal values in the ores. The
high lead content and general free
dom from bases result in a nominal
smelling charge, which averages
about 40 cents a ton.
Dean Scrugham was over at the
properties recently and the claims
are to be surveyed for patent.
Jack and Glenn Wheatley came in
from Mullan, Idaho. three weeks ago
to york on their claims here. 1t is
the third extension on the Big Groom
ledge on the north, and has a prom
inent Outcrop throughout the entire
length. They are sending down a
shaft on a big blowout and the out
look for ore is most promising. They
quit jobs in the biggest lead produc-
ing section of the country to come
and make a strike for themselves in
what they recognize to be a district
of big lead and other ore possibili-
ties.-Pioche Record.

ported last week, and the resump-

footwall of the Burro No. a vein,
which has been directed towards the
north in an endaavor to catch the
downward extension of the VEN

by means of a drift on the upper
level.
The stope on the Burro No. 4
vein was worked as usual, and fur
nished the regular tonnage from a
3 to 4-foot width of mill ore.
In the MiZpah claim, on the 400
foot level, the only work in prog
ress was by way of continuing the
underhand stopping on the ven west
of the shaft. The conditions show
ing at this place are substantially
the same as were reported during
the previous week, the width being
maintained at between 8 and 4 feet,
and the ore continuing to be of
milling grade.
On the 500-foot level, in the east
drift on the vertical vein west of
he shaft, work was resumed. Moth
irg of value is shown in the face Of
the drift at the present time, but
several likely looking stringers of
quartz are being followed. The
stope work on this same vein was
continued at the usual rate on a q
foot face of milling ore, while the
underhand stope in the north cross
cut on the same vein is progressing
favorarbly on eel feet of milling
ore which have been exposed as a
consequence of the extension OF the
drift.
On the 60O-foot level, west drift
COS shows a full face of low-grade
quartz, giving much promise of d.
veloping into a more substantial
showing with further work. The
stope on the Mizpah VEN was
worked as usual, with the same
2-foot width reported in previous
weeks. furnishing the normal guam
tity of ore.
At the Sandgrass claims, on the
1140-foot level, the work of cutting
out the station has not yet been
completed. Good progress, however,
is being made, and the station
should be finished within a short
time, whereupon the work of driv-
ing the crosscut to the north for
the purpose of connecting with the
old Merger workings will be pushed
ahead.
The west intermediate drift on
the Upper Sandgrass vein has beer
discontinued for the present, AMI
stopping was started during the past
week from the drift.
