CRACKER JACK
NEARING VEIN
CROSS-CUT Is BEING DRIVEN
RAPIDLY IN GOOD FOR
NATION

With a force of % men, work
ing in three shifts, the Cracker Jack
company is making rapid progress in
driving to the east on the 320-foot
level to cut the main Columbia
Mountain fault vein, at point
where it is believed to form a juno
tion with the nearly parallel Rab-
bit Trail vein. Both of these veins
have been found to contain ore of
good milling grade near the surface
and their general character is such
as to justify the belief that COM
mercial ore will be found in explor-
ing them at depth.
In workings of the Cracker Jack
company on and above the 120-foot
level, in the big fault vein, large
quantities of excellent milling ore
have been placed in sight, and in
earlier work on this ground some ore
of shipping grade was taken from
surface trenches on this and the
parallel vein to the west. The fault
vein lies at rather a flat angle,
while the Rabbit Trail vein has a
steep dip, indicating that the two
must join at about the depth of the
present work or above this point
The east cross-cut on the 320-foot
level has been advanced over 500
feet and for a considerable distance
has been in an oxidized breccia,
showing seams of quartz that are
heavily mineralized and yield assays
in gold as high as $40 per ton This
is accepted as an indication that the
footwall of the vein is not at any
great distance from the face of the
cross-cut and the work of the next
week or two may bring the face into
vein matter and result in develop
ments of importance. The property
has excellent equipment and oper-
ations are being conducted in a
highly efficient and economical man
ner.

KEWANAS To
SHIP ITS
PRODUCT
VEIN Is SHOWING PAY ORE FOR
LONG DISTANCE AT
DEPTH

With ore of shipping grade expos
ed in both the northern and southern
parts of the Reorganized Kewanas
companys territory, and approxi-
mately 1900 feet of the main vein
system not yet explored between
these points, the Kewanas mine is in
far better condition than ever be-
fore in it's history and gives substan-
tial promise of becoming one of the
foremost producers in the Goldfield
district. Manager Darcy has begun
stopping ore of good grade in the
south drift on the S40-foot level and
shipments will start at once to the
smelter.
For a distance of 100 feet the
south drift, extended from an east
cross-cut, has advanced on ore of
excellent grade and varying from
two and one-half to four feet in
width, and the face of the drift is
still showing ore of this character.
With the further opening up of the
orebcdy at this point in the mine
only a SMALL amount of additional
equipment in the winze will be re-
quired to permit of hosting a sub
stantial tonnage daily.
All the work in this part of the
Kewanas property is within the
shale contact zone, and it is general
ly regarded as an established fact
that the orebodies in this zone are
at least as great in extent on their
dip as on their strike. This condi-
tion is emphasized in the case of the
bonanza orebody opened in the Jum-
bo Extension mine, adjoining the
Kewanas on the south and which
produced highgrade ore to the value
of considerably over $2,000,0O0.
This orebody was found to extend
along the dip of the shale for a
distance more than double it's eX-
tent along the course of the vein
system.
Development work in this terri
tory has not yet served to deter
mine the limits of the orebody in
any direction and it's possibilities
are believed to be of great impor-
tance. No work has yet been done
cut which first exposed the ore, and
work in the ore-channel has been
confined thus far to the 100foot
drift and the raise from the cross
cut, which exposed over four feet
of $50 ore.
In the southern part of the prop
erty, at a depth of $50 feet, ore of
excellent grade has been exposed
in the progress of work conducted
w the Jumbo Junior Mining COM
pany, which has secured a lease on

STEADY OUTPUT
At GREAT BEND
GOOD ORE is BROKEN FROM
SLOPES OPENED ON TWO
LEVELS

Teams are employed daily in haul
ing ore from the Great Bend mine to
the local sampler OF the Western
Ore Purchasing company. A pro-
duct of excellent grade has been
broken lately, returns from the
smelter averaging from $26 to $40
per ton, and it is apparent that q
considerable quantity of ore of this
character will be produced from the
deposits now in sight. One of the
best slopes yet opened in the mine
is being extended above the 300
foot level, while ore of good grade
is also coming from stope opened
from the 160-foot level.
A large amount of development
work has been performed since
operations were started by the re-
organized company, and this work
has resulted in placing in sight
large quantities of good milling ore,
in addition to the ore of higher
grade, shipped to the smelters.
The company has a small mill
on it's ground and with further de-
velopment it is probable that suffi-
cient tonnage of this mill ore will
be made available to Justify the
company in properly equipping this
mill and treating its lower grade
product on the ground. On the
3OO-foot level the main drift is be-
ing advanced to the east, to pick
up an ore-shoot known to exist near
the DaiSy boundary

being shipped to the Salt Lake Val
ley smelters from the Atlanta mine
at the rate of SO tons daily and a
vast quantity of excellent flotation
ore has been placed in sight and
will be treated at the plant of the
GOldfield Consolidated as soon as
arrangements are perfected for dis
posing of the concentrate. At pre-
sent the mine is operating at a
profit and the company's earnings
will be increased in substantial
measure with the regular produc-
ton of it's low-grade ore. Develop
ment continued on the deeper levels
and is opening up large area and
blocking out large quantities of
pay ore.

SANDSTORM DRIVING
TO OPEN MAIN VEIN

Work of the endall
Consolidated company continues
without interruption and some small
seams of good ore have been eX
posed in driving the raise above the
350-foot level and in extending a
drift from this raise, following the
main vein. Connection will later
be made from this raise with the
old workings of the Loftus-Davis
lease, where some ore of CONNER
cial grade was still in sight when
the lessees suspended work.

posed recently, in extending DRIFT
from the short raise that was driven
from the 88O-foot level of the ad-
joining Jumbo Junior mine. The
new drift has been showing two
feet or more of high-grade ore,
typical of the shale contact deposits
of this territory and yielding assays
up to $3.50 per ton. Farther to the
west raise is being driven through
the vein, from the foot-wall drift
on the 770-foOt level, to prospect
the hanging wall for the extension
of the high-grade shoot found in the
work of the Goldfield Consolidated,
in ground leased from the Jumbo
Extension. Reports from the Cop
per Mountain property, which is be-
ing worked under option by the
Jumbo Extension, continue crafty
ing, and ore of shipping grade is
now exposed in workings from both
the company shafts. The lessees
continue shipping large tonnage
of good ore and preparations are
being made for the Jumbo Exten
sion company to start shipping.
ReOrganized Kewanas
Conditions in the Kewanas pro-
perty have improved greatly since
the report of Manager Darcy was
issued, pointing out that the mine
was in better shape than ever be-
fore. Ore of excellent grade is be-
ing stopped for shipment in the
northern part of the property, where
a product of shipping grade is ex-
feet, and some ore of about the
same quality is in sight in the
extreme southern part, in ground
leased to the Jumbo Junior COM
pany. The intervening part of the
great vein system and contact chan
mel, covering a distance of over
1000 feet, has not been prospected
at depth and offers most important
possibilities for the making of a
great gold mine in Kawanas terri
tory.
Jumbo Junior
With carload of high-grade ore
in transit to the smelter and more
of the same material broken in
the mine, and with ore of excel
lent grade showing in its own
ground and in the territory leased
from the Kewanas company, the
Jumbo Junior company is now rank
ed as one of the regular producers
of the district and as giving good
promise of soon being upon a pro-

Consecrated Bells.

Bells were anciently consecrated be.
fore they were raised to their places.
This applied not only to church bells,
but to others. Each was dedicated to
some divine parsonage, saint or martyr
One of the finest bits of word painting
in Shakespeare occurs in the mention
Of bell when King John addressing
Hubert says:
If the midnight bell
Did with his iron tongue and dragon
mouth,
Sound one unto the drowsy race of night.
One Of the strongest pictures paint
ed by Charles Dickens is that of the
miser and usurer, Ralph Nickleby,
cursing the iron-tongued midnight bell,
after which, in fit of mingled frenzy,
hatred and despair he hangs himself.
Commenting on ShakeSpeare's lines,
the Book of Days says: Here, 'brazen'
implies not merely that particular mix
ture of copper and calamine, called
brass, but in Il broader sense any metal
which is compound with copper"

CUT OUT THE GUMMOSIS.
Then Cover the Wounds With Some
Antiseptic.

One of the troublesome citrus dis
eases prevalent in Florida is Gum
mosis. 1t is rather slow in develop
ment but when the trees in a grove
are attacked, the attack persists.
Gummosis is a bark disease found
only on the trunks and larger branch
es and does not affect the leaves or
fruit of the trees. The disease is
easily recognized by the scaly, ul-
cerated, cumming areas formed in
the bark. These occur in irregular
patches in which the dead surface
bark finally scales up in fakes and
falls away, leaving brownish,
roughened scar. In it's early stages,
the disease usually appears as small
cracks in the bark from which the
gum may ooze freely.
The only way to eradicate the dis
ease, says H. E. Stevens, plant path
ologist to the University of Florida
experiment station, is to cut out the
diseased areas at once. All the dis
eased bark should be removed down
to the healthy wood and the wound
which is left should be covered with
some antiseptic to keep out other
contamination. In severe cases,
where the disease has girdled the
trunk or limbs, very little can be
done to save the affected parts. If
the trees still produce enough fruit
to warrant keeping them, the infect
ed parts may be kept covered with
some antiseptic.
AS coverings or antiseptics for
wounds, any one of the following
may b eused: Avenaries carboline-
UNI, either half or full strength; pine
tar; bordeaux paste; good white
lead paint; or lime and sulphur paste
The lime and sulphur paste or wash
is the cheapest, easiest prepared and
gives good results. 1t is made by
mixing equal parts of powdered sui
phur (flowers or flour) and air-slak-
ed lime with sufficient water to make
thin paste or wash that can be
easily applied with a brush. The
wounds and entire trunk of affected
trees should be painted with this
from the ground up to a height of
three or four feet, making one or
two applications each year.-State

Base Ball Again Today.

The baseball team of the Florida
Military Academy is here playing a
series of games with the local team
The first game was played yesterday
afternoon, and the clubs will be at it
again this afternoon. No report has
reached US as to the outcome OF yes
terdays game, but that doesn't make
so much difference. We know that
the visitors are ball players and that
we have some of the same make of
young fellows here, and that all who
attend this afternoon will see stir
ring game. The line up of the local
club this afternoon will probably be
as follows, subject to minor changes:
SIS. Cash; Sd, Werditz; I'd, Branch:
c., H. Chamberlin; p. Vondeveau;
catcher, Braddock; If Hunter; 1st, AL
len; rf Watts or lies.
One thing certain; all who attend
will see a good game.

PRO3LEM YET TO BE SOLVED
Housing of City's Population Calls for
the Best Thought That Can Be
Called Upon.

That housing the people still lacks
facts to make it a science was shown in
a late discussion by Prof. S. NJ. Gum
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Among the recently acquired
bits of knowledge is that consumption
is not q house disease, as even Koch
the discoverer of its active agent
thought, but is one that is transmitted
by the sick man himself. Infant dis
ease, too, is not due to the house, chief
causes being ignorance of the parents,
economic conditions and racial factors.
Considerations of sunlight and ventila-
ton complicate the problem of housing
reform. Long exposure to sunlight has
effected cures, but just what is it's spe-
cial influence in homes is yet to be
made known. Professor Gum is in
clined to credit it with psychological
value, as the weIl-lighted house offers
such health factors as cheerfulness, alb
sence Of dirt and inspiration to effort.
The actual value of outdoor air is a
matter of like uncertainty. Fresh air
is best for man when it can be had,
but experiments have shown that there
is not the real danger in breathed-over
air We were once taught. In crowded
factory districts, where the supply Of
outdoor air is restricted, feelings Of op-
preston may be prevented by such
measures as controlling circulation,
temperature and humidity. In the con-
troll of winter heating, education is
needed. Houses are notoriously over
heated and the air from furnaces is
not properly fed with moisture. With
air dampened without taking it's mois-
ture from the human body and the
furniture, comfort is reached at
lower temperature than with dry air,
coal being saved.

Most Used Library.

Close after the discovery that New
York is the greatest city in the world
comes the report that its public library
is the most used library on earth. Its
daily average number of readers is
double that of the British museum of
London or the Bibliotheque Rationale
of Paris, according to the report for
1915, just published, which says that
10,3S4,579 books were borrowed in the
year and that 2,55S,717 persons en-
tered the central building at Fifth
avenue and Forty-second street. The
war has brought great increase in
the number of people who use the IL
brary for research. 1t has become, the

ogy that great success has attended
the efforts to combat the spinach
aphis which seriously attacked the
truck crops of Virginia year after
year. This has been accomplished by
the Introduction of the spotted lady
bird, which is said to have proved
very effective in keeping down the
aphis. The first efforts in this dtrec-
tion were unsuccessful, owing to the
fact that there has been extensive re-

this left no accommodations for the
