Next Issue at az Per Cent.


Washington bankers stated today
that their understanding is that the
next issue OF Liberty loan bonds.
soon to be offered to the public, will
bear the same interest rate as the
first loan, 81 per cent, but that the
loans Secretary McAdoo has asked
Congress to provide for after that will
bear per cent.
Holders of the 81 per cent bonds
will h6ve the privilege OF exchanging
them for bonds bearing q higher
rate whenever these may be issued.
There is considerable discussion in
banking circles as to whether the
Treasury will be able to put through
the next loan at 3h per cent, but the
feeling is that II Secretary McAdoo
offers them at that rate the banking
and business world will loyalty CO.
operate in making the issue as sue
cessful as the FIRST one.
The banking world generally is anx-
ious to see the Government market
its bonds at the lowest possible rate,
inasmuch as every increase in the rate
Of Government loans means consider

OF millions OF high grade railroad and
other bonds that have been selling
fairly close. to par despite the fact
that they bear interest rates that are
comparatively low.
Whenever the Government begins
selling its bonds at 4 per cent, the
investing public, looking for safa
investment viii prefer q Government
bond to other securities, bringing
about serious depreciation. especially
where the Government bond is ex-
empt from all taxation, where the
other securities are subject to ma
tional and State taxation.
There Is serious talk In Congress
today that future Government issues
should not be exempt from taxation,
thereby removing one feature that
puts them in favor far above private
securities and leEsening the public's
idea of the wide difference In value
between the two

BEAR TOP.
Carload Of Ore Being Shipped-Will
Soon Start the Mill.

Leasers of the Beap Top, above Muir
ray, have struck over two feet of clean
shipping ore, according to information
received in Murray the first of the
week. A carload of ore is now being
loaded for shipment, and a large
of milling ore Is on the dump
or available in the mine. The Bear
Top mill is being oyerhauled and re-
paired and will soon be ready for OPP

Patrick Burke. who holds a lease on
the Qroflno. an adjoining property. It
is stated that the leasers of the Bear

TAR BOX.
crosscuttine on the 300 Will Begin
About October IS.

About October IS.
The stump at the 500 level of the
Tarbox has been completed and the
work of cutting a station on that lev
Ell is proceeding rapidly. 1t is expect
ed that this will be completed and
the crosscut started by the 18th. This
crosscut should reach the vein within
$50 feet and the work should be COM
pleted by December Is, certainly not
later than January /. On the 600 lev
ell there is reported fully SO feet of
milling ore, with numerous streaks OF
high grade, both lead and zinc and
it is confidently expected that this
showing will be greatly improved
when the ore is reached on the 800.
The appearance of Revett quartzite in
sinking from the 600 to 800 is graf
flying change. and the undisturbed
condition of the ground at the pres
ent depth strengthens the expectation
of larger and permanent ore body.
"A wagon road is being built to the
site Of the reservoir at the head OF

the water instead of building flume,
but no decision has yet been reached.

works, where no great quantity is used
and where it can be made fresh every
two or three days, and all left over
used first next time, so as to have no
old stale nitro glycerine on hand.
There is the trouble, and there is
where the only real danger comes in.
Allow no old nitro glycerine to stand
around under any excuse.
when fresh, as above stated, 1t is
milky. In about one day it will clear
up and be almost white, with slight,
very slight shade of yellow. If allow
ed to stand too long or kept too warm
yellow tint will appear. No special
danger yet; but it should be rechurn-
ed and rewasbed to take out the free
acid which has been left in 1t and is
decomposing it. If the yellow color
does not readily disappear, add lit
tie more lime or soda, but wash thor
oughly. If not washed in time 1t will
turn orange-dangerou If left long
er, it will begin to get murky-very
dangerous-and should at once be
poured out in some safe place. where
it can soak into the fresh earth and
decompose. When nitro glycerine was
fresh and milky l have poured little
into vial. thrown it violently across
a canyon, and shattered the vial
against the opposite wall with no ex-
plosion. Also when fresh, it can be
burned in common coal oil lamp
without explosion. This has been tried
as an experiment. 1t costs too much
to use it for light; coal oil is cheaper
AT about 40 degrees f. nitro gly-
cerine congeals like grease and will
not readily explode. 1t should not be
loaded into holes in this condition and
fired, for some may explode and some
be left a frequent cause of danger.
"From the foregoing description OF
nitro -glycerine it may be clearly seer
why giant powder is freaky. When
nitro -glycerine is decomposing, in pro-
portion to it's decomposition, it is more
and more easily exploded, until slight
jar or slight rise in temperature will
explode it. In Colorado, every stick
of giant powder is required to be dat
ed This is quite a protection.
+ "The powder may be stale or poorl,
made, or made from cheap, impure
materials, or may have been kept in
hot place, any of which causes will
make it dangerous.

such good. work, and can be put into
so many places, that glycerine man
who has it's kind Of work to do and
can not get it, feels lonesome.
IT forgot to state that under the
right conditions an electric spark will
explode nitro glycerine, and as a
strong electric current runs through
long lines Of railroad rails in con-
slant use, sometimes a bump Of two
cars will furnish the electric shock and
explode the giant powder exposed to
it. Sometimes too, poor fuse. poor
caps, or poor electric eyploders are re-
sponsible for accidents"

OLD VETERAN.
New Feature Adds Interest to the
ShoWinu in the Drift


The drift on the Old Veteran has
been following gouge for a long way,
on the foot wall side of which is the
copper one, to which reference has
frequently been made. This copper
continues to occupy more than half the
face and it's appearance indicates that
the values in both copper and silver
are increasing. A few days ago a
streak of quartz and iron made its APP
pearance on the hanging wall side of
the gouge. with oxidized spots that ap-
pear to be carbonate of lead, and also
much crystallization filing erevices in
clusters These have more the ap-
peararce of crystallized quartz, but it
is possible they may be lead. Taken
altogether the showing is one of I'M
usual interest and strengthens the be-
lief that large ore body is not far
away.

SILVER CABLE COMPANY

FEET WIDE.

A MILAN man who recently visited
the silver Gable in company with a
mining engineer stated this week that
a 10 estimated that there is 100000
t;ons of ore in sight in the mine. and
,bat the most pressing need of the
'nronerty is a mill which would soon
Mace 1t on a profit earning basis. A
continuous ore shoot has been explor-
ed to a depth of $50 feet, and for a
,angth of 800 feet on the intermediate
level In the upper tunnel or. No. /,
the ore shoot Is 200 feet long and will
average 8 feet wide. Above this tun-
mel there are crevices or vugs con-
tanning masses of crystallized lead
Two faults running north and south
about 800 feet apart cut the vein and
It is between these faults that the
main ore body as far as developed lies
The vein has been located on the west
side of the west fault on both the up
per and intermediate levels and shows
a continuation of the ore shoot. A
crosscue is now being run from the
lower tunnel to reach the vein west of
the fault. From this tunnel winze
has been sunk which shows four feet
of solid ore, an interesting feature of
which is the appearance of an in
creased proportion of lead. On the
intermediate level stope has been
opened in which there is four feet of
clean ore.
Shoot Averages 10 Feet Wide.
In places the ore shoot is fully 20
feet wide, and the average width on
all levels is placed at 10 feet. There
is much clean shipping ore which car
ries SO per cent zinc and per cent
lead. The two minerals would be cas-
lily separated by concentration. Sever
al carloads of ore have been shipped
by the Silver Gable company to the
Anaconda smelter, but it is stated that
satisfactory returns have not been OBJ

age of lead. the ore being taken for it's
zinc content. Development work 10

plates erecting mill in, the spring. A
