of June. The total shipments for the
month were II carloads, or rather IL
carloads We're sampled at the. Washoe
sampler at Butte. The shipments ag-
gregated 957,7SS pounds, dry weight,
or 47S.S97 tons, upon which a royalty
of SO per ton is paid to the Douglas
company, amounting to $l436.6S,
which has been deposited to the cred

the present rate of shipment will be

shipments will be largely increased.
The Douglas company is accumulat-

.CROsSCUTT|NC NATIONAL
AT DEPTH OF 535 FEET
STRiNGERS OF HIGH GRADE
COPPER FOUND IN BOTTOM
OF THE SHAFT.

Announcement was made yesterday
National, that crosscut had been
started from the shaft to the vein at
a depth of 535 feet from the main
level, or 335 feet below the former
Isumed few months ago the plan was
to sink 400 or 450 feet, or total depth
of 600 or $50 feet below the working
tunnel. This plan has now been aban-
dbned and the vein will be crosscut
at once. The shaft is in the hanging
wall, following the course of and near
the vein. so that it will require only
a few days to intersect it. In sinking
the sump preparatory to crosscutting
strngers of high grade "copper" some
of them half an inch thick, were en-
countered, which is regarded as
highly favorable indication of what
may be found in the vein. The string
ers are both copper glance and chal-
copyrite and will probably run as
high as 80 per cent.
Why Plan Was Changed.
1t is assumed that the Snowstorm
fault cuts the National vein at depth,
and based upon the experience of the
SnoWstorm, the National manage
ment concluded that the best ore
would be found near and above the
fault. It is stated that in the Snow
storm the best ore was found begin
ming 300 or 400 feet above the fault
and down to within 100 feet of it.
Acting upon the theory that the same
conditions would hold good in the
National, it was decided to sink $50
feet which it was expected would
bring the bottom of the shaft to with
in approximately 100 feet of the fault.
It was discovered, however, that the
dip of the National vein fs indicated
by the course of the shaft was about
As degrees instead of so and that it
was therefore nearing the fault more
rapidly than was anticipated The
shaft was then down 535 feet and it
was decided to crosscut to the vein at
that point, believing that it would
test the theory of better ore at depth.

around the lake to the mine. The road
is built on an easy grade with solid
roadbed that will stand the heavy
traffic that will go over it.
Shipping Ore.
When Mr.. Sutherland visited the st.
Lawrence the two 4-horse teams were
engaged hauling ore to Saltese and
fully 40 tons had already been deliv-
cred ready for shipment. A third A.
horse team was to go on the day he
left and another will be put on as
soon as it can be secured. A conser-
vative estimate of the ore on the dump
and broken down in the mine is 800
tons, which, according to the returns
on former shipments, will average 22
per cent copper and 81 in gold. This
ore comes from a streak that averages
about 10 inches, alongside of which
there is feet or more of lower but
excellent grade. When. the surface
of the road becomes solid the teams
will easily handle five tons at load,
but at present from three and a half
| to four tons Is being hauled.
Ore in Sight.
Two ore shoots have been encount-
cred in the main tunnel, one about SO
i feet long and the other about 100
only the first of which has been open
ed by slopes. But these two shoots
important as they are, convey but a
limited idea Of the ore possibilities OF
the st. Lawrence. 1t Is estimated that
the ore now in sight will easily make
the full payment under the Lancaster
bond, leaving the real resources Of
the mine still to be developed.

Three hundred tons OF ore loaded on
the ears and shipped in four days is
record that will have been accom-
plished by the Jack Waite Mining
company this evening. The company
ships to the International smelter al
Tooele, Utah. This plant until quite
recently has been closed down by a
strike called by the |. w. W., which
for the time stopped all ore shipments
However, the ore on hand and the
shipments on the road when the
strike was called created large ac-
cumulation of ore to be handled when
the plant started up. While WTk-
ing up this accumulation of ore the
smelling company is endeavoring to
accommodate other shippers who have
been ineonvenienced by the strike. To
this end the embargo on shipments to
the International was raised for four
days, beginning last Monday, during
which period all companies having
shipping contracts We're authorized to
make shipments.
Jack Waite Goes the Limit.
While the smelter was closed the
Jack Waite continued to haul ore to
the loading station at Waite as usual,
with the result that when he embargo
was temporarily raised the company
had upwards of 800 tons ready to load
on the cars. The question was to get
the cars to load. The urgency of the
situation was put up to the O.-W. r..
& N. company and that company
quickly responded with the necessary
rolling stock. Loading the cars will
be completed and the shipments billed
out this afternoon. Meanwhile five
4-horse teams are steadily hauling ore
from the mine, each hauling from four
to five tons at load, or a total of 20
tons or better delivered at the rail-
road daily,

Snowslides in the winter. highwater
in the spring and washout of the

fered with ore shipments, and in other
respects blocked the plans of the COM
pany having in view more extensive
operations. Barring a continuance of
the embargo on shipments to the
smelter, which it Is expected will soon
be permanently raised, the present
outlook at the Jack Waite Is very fine,
and it seems destined to soon take its
| place among the regular producers of
the district. Shipments from the Jack
Waite average 50 per cent lead with
low silver value.

CAMP UPTON. l.. l.. Sept 90
There are two ways Of dealing with
the conscientious objcctor. The easier
and simpler way involves the use of 4
brick wall and the brief withdrawal
from other military duties of firing
squad.
BY this treatment the most meticu-
lous directors have been cured of their
scruples. The only drawback is that
il is not an alternative kill or cure.
Every time il is tried. rs certainly will
be shown If the complete mortality
tables of the great war ever are pub
lished. a man is lost.
The other way is Major General j..
Franklin Bells way. One test, here
reported, has proven safe, painless and
efiicscious. In witness whereof a con-
vincing testimonial may be looked for
from Private Samuel Huber. n. A.
Held Adherence for War
Huber came 10 Camp Upton out Of
the lower East Side. Before the draft
was thought of he had held an abhor-
ence for war. As there are two kinds
of cure for their affection, so there are
two kinds of conscientious DIRECTORS
A few of the loud-mouthed kind had
popped up in camp and promptly had
popped down again before the threat
in the cold eye of some sergeant.

He submitted to the army examination
and took his incubation like a man
When orders were spoken he obeyed

serves TO delay complete reports. Not
only arc these divisions being modified
Tor the first time, but in the midst Of
that mobilization the whole fabric Of
the infantry army is being recognized
on the new trench warfare plan.
Division Nov 1880 Men
The fighting strength Of the new d.
vision Is now fixed at 1880 men. The
seventeen Guard divisions on that basis
viii have a total strength Of 1900
men.
The Guard probably brought into the
Federal service total OF not more
than 100000 men, possibly less. 1t will
take therefore. at least $4,000 Ma
tional Army men 10 fill up the Guard
divisions. Another 100000 of the Ma
tional Army will 20 to the air service.
and certainly as many more TO other
special services. That would leave not
more than $4,000 men to form the six
teen National Army divisions, which
should have an aggregate war strength
of 100000.
Secretary Baker pointed out to-day
some of the difficulties that attend the
reorganization of the National Guard
division plan for the Guard, since ex-
tended to seventeen with the organiza-
ton Of the Add, or Rainbow" Division,
il an old one, the whole fabric of the
divisions has been changed. With the
adoption of the European regimental
and company standard, every Guard
regiment which was to be included in
n division had to be expanded Regi-
ments and parts Of regiments are being
consolidated to furnish the $500 men
regmental units now desired.
Forces Kept Localized
In making these consultations the
department Is attempting to keep the
forces as much localized as possible.
The same practice will be followed in
assigning men from the National Army
to National Guard units. Wherever
practical National Army men will 60
to regiments from their own states. in
line with the spirit Of the war army
bill, which lays stress on localization
Of regiments. There are many cases,
however, where the practice will have
to be abandoned to meet military
necessities.
The Guard consolidation has brought
upon the department a new source OF
trouble. Numerous colonies and regi-
mental stats Of the Guard are certain
to be left without commands, since the
number Of regiments has been reduced.
This has already proved fruitful
source of protest from state officials.
The policy Of the department, it is said,
will be to find places for such Guard
officers in other forces as far as pos
sible and desirable.

Lansing Blocks

Cites Point Where Mexico

Especial Corre'poudenocl

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - opposi-
ton by Secretary of State Lansing has
blocked, for the time being, any at
tempt to put through a drastic alien
draft resolution at this session OF Con-
gress.
A bill or resolution may be offered
later in the House by the Military
Affairs Committee, but it is probable
that it will provide for negotiations
with foreign nations.
In an executive session of the Mil
itary Affairs Committee of the House
to-day Secretary Lansing couched his
objections to the proposed amendments
to the Chamberlain resolution IN the
strongest form. He asserted that
general policy Of drafting all aliens
into the American service might lead
to serious reprisals and cause no end
of trouble to the United States.
Citing the case of Mexico. the Sec
rotary pointed out that if the Mexi-
cans in the United States were i'm
pressed into the American army, Amer
leans in Mexico might be made to
serve in the Mexican army to put down
some revolution or revolt.
asked TO make some recommendation
in regard to a law which would put
the alien 'slackers" into the United
States army. Secretary Lansing said
the State Department preferred the
Rogers resolution, calling on the
President to negotiate with foreign
countries looking to service Of their
nationals with the United States army.
The chances are that those members
of the House most wrought up over the
draft unfarness will attempt to have
the Chamberlain resolution brought out
on the floor Of the House, despite the
attitude of the Military Committee.

sion of sincerity, and the problem was
passed on up to Major Albert Nathan,
the battalion commander, and finally
to the colonel.
In the meantime Huber was sent with
a detail of two men to the supply
depot, and after another protest he
permitted the guard to dress him in

no attempt at physical resistance.
He returned to barracks to find the

Yesterday morning the Huber prob
lem went to still higher authority.
Colonel Booth. General Bells chief
OF staff, was asked for a ruling. The
colonel scratched his head and put il
up to the general.
I'll see the man myself" General
Bell decided.
So Huber was marched out of bar
racks and up Headquarters Hill and
into the Office which is the heart Of the
nth Division.
The door closed behind him. and for
an hour and half stayed that way.
As the story is told, the general
acknowledged that such scruples might
properly exist and have their place.
His was the fatherly attitude all the
way through. He was q sympathizer,
a counsellor, a friend.
When the door Of General Bells

older man was on the younger mans

$50 Reward Offered
For Arrest of Slackers
Bounty Will Be Paid to
Civilians Who Deliver "Pink
Sheet" Men to Camp

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The first
steps toward the apprehension OF Ma
tional Army slackers were taken To-Day
when the War Department authorized
the announcement of reward OF $50
to be paid civilians for the delivery OF
any person liable TO military service
to the nearest military reservation or
cantonment camp.
This is the first move in campaign
that is intended to become NATIONWIDE
in the search for the pink sheet men,
as the National Army slackers are
called. They are termed pink sheet
mon" for the reason that when they
failed to appear their names. were
placed on a pink sheet and certified for
service in the National Army.
