frOck for the street. as it goes over

New York, Nov 26-Each designer
in France has tried to be more medic
val than the others. 1t is difficult to
understand why certain Americans in
sist that there is to be return to the
fitted bodice and the girdled waist
line. Here. and there are American
gowns that carry out this idea, but
they are overwhelmed by the gowns
from France and America that have
gone back to the most primitive kinds
of women's clothing.
To Ancient SiIhouettes.
True, this revival of ancient clothes
is expressed in two ways: there is the
straight tunic of those centuries that
ran from the ninth to the fifteenth.
and there is the bias drapery that be-
longs to the early Greeks.
Each designer carries out peculiar
methods of obtaining both silhouettes.
1t might be said that the ma jority of
the loose, tunic effects are used for
the street, and the earlier, wrapped
effects for the evening.
This division should not be taken
as strictly accurate and final 1t is
merely an impression gathered from a
half thousand gowns which have been
launched this autumn into the whirl-
wind of style. Callot will make a
straight, primitive, peasant frock for
afternoon affairs, to be worn under a
fur coat. and she will then take a few
yards of material, wind them around
the figure in the Oriental fashion and
hold them in place with a barbaric Or
nament.
Paquin entirely discards the idea of
the drs perry and makes her most pre-
! tentious evening gowns in the straight,
simple way They are of velvet, they
go over the head like a chemise. they
are cut slightly low and round in the
neck, and they have loose armholes
without sleeves. These gowns of hers
appear to be made of two widths of
material, and if they are of dark vel
vet they are lined with lowered

EMERALD ISLE PLANT
 BEING PUT IN SHAPE
From sundays Daily MinerI


 The Emerald Isle is getting it's plant shaped up nicely and will soon be ready to care for a big tonnage of ore. Scrap iron in quantity has been shipped to the mine and the new tanks are being put in place.
 Work on the property is developing a possibility for new ore that was not considered when work was first begun. It was then thought that there was a certain tonnage of ore that would run on an average of three per cent, but 6 larger tonnage is developing and it is probable that big mine may be open ed. A fixed theory of the deposit ap- peared to be that ground waters had carried copper solutions from the mountains above and contract with the lime beds deposited the copper as car bOnates in the conglomerates that formed the Emerald Isle deposit.

WHY NOT?

The prospector or miner has learned
 to expect very little help from the
 government, says the Denver Mining
 Record. The West is so rich in min eral wealth that the prospector in the past has been satisfied to be left alone in his search for fortune. But very often a case develops where financial aid from the state or national govern ment would be very acceptable and would result in the opening of addi- tional wealth and the further enrich ment of the nation. Mining is one of the nations most prolific sources of wealth and there is no reason why the national government should not assist the miner or prospector in opening
 A clean cut prospector dropped in few days ago. He was right from new ore bodies.
 the hills and had all the ear-marks of being hard worker. He said he had a good prospect and with the aid of a few friends had developed it up to the point where he felt absolutely sure that 20 or 30 feet of additional work would put them in the ore. Their money was exhausted and they need ed additional funds for grub and pow der. Could we advise him where to go to secure the small amount of capital needed? Our readers may rest assured that we did everything within our power to assist this man.
 It so happened that at the time of the visit of this prospector there was another visitor with us "a mining en- gineer from one of the Malay states, travelling through the mining states of the West, studying the latest methods in mining and milling practice. This engineer was very much interested in the story of our friend the prospec- tor, and remarked that in his country the prospector could go to the mine of the district and present his case. If, in the opinion of the in spector, the prospector had a good chance to open a mine, the government would enter a fifty-ffty, arrangement with him, or, in other words, the gov ernment would advance S1 in cash for food and supplies for each dollars worth of work done by the prospec- tor. The engineer was of the opinion thta this country does not appreciate the value of its mining industry. 9th erwise the government would furnish needed assistance to worthy prospec- tors and mining men in the opening up of new mines.
 A very small portion of the many millions of dollars appropriated by | congress for war preparedness would work miracles in the western mining fields and be of material help in our ght for industrial preparedness.

BOOTLEG IMPORTERS LAND
 IN COUNTY JAIL
[FrOm Sundays Daily MinerI

Deputy John Harris and Constable George Adams had an exciting ex- perience with couple of alleged boot leggers Friday night between McCon- nico and Kingman. Deputy Harris learned that a consignment of booze was to be unloaded at McConnico from train No. 8 and, with Constable Adams, left here in the evening to meet it.
 Soon after the officers reached Me Connico station and had secreted themselves to await developments, the parties, later arrested, arrived on the scene. When the train approached the alleged bootleggers stood out in the glare of the headlight and by so do- ing afforded the officers a good look at them.
 When the train stopped and booze laden suitcases were unloaded, the of ficers stepped up and took Al Ward into custody, but his partner, Joe Smith, escaped by getting onto the train as it pulled out. Officer Harris was not so easily fooled. He hurried his prisoner and suitcases to the hid den automobile and rushed the ma chine to town, arriving just before the train pulled into the local yards. He and Officer Adams then searched the train and found Smith squeezed in be- tween two seats in the smoking car. Both prisoners were lodged in jail and will be given hearing tomorrow be- fore Justice Smith.

O'MEARA
 TELLS OF BIG PLANS
 FOR M'CRACKEN MINE
[FrOm Sundays Daily MinerI

"With it's new 1OO-ton dry concen- trating mill ready to begin operating in a week or two, the property of the McCracken Silver-Lead Mining com pany near McCracken will soon enter the class of producing mines with as- sured future" according to President w. P. O'Meara, who is up from Ari- zona. He continued:
 "These predictions are based upon the assertion that the McCracken property not only has more than enough ore in sight to keep the new plant busy for long period, but that there will soon develop on the surface up the hill above the mill and in the tunnel that find an outlet directly into the ore bins of the mill mountains of ore that will compel the rapid addition of units to the present plant, until one of the large mining and milling opera tions in the state of Arizona is built up.
 Until the big vein is tapped by the tunnel, surface mining on a unique and unusual scale will be employed on the big ore zone above the mill. Here ore of good quality outcrops to a height above the surface of 20 to 25 feet, and there is a zone of silver-lead values rated as good milling ore ap- proximately 600 feet wide.
 From this almost inexhaustible source and from the tunnel level ore will be carried to the mill, while new units are being added commensurate with a production record that will rap idly place the McCracken in the class of the large properties of the West. The tunnel will reach the vein in 20 more feet. It will intersect it under ore eight to 40 feet wide that out crops to a height above the surface of 20 to % feet. It is expected that the production from the tunnel and the surface will be so much greater than the initial capacity of the>mill that the next 1OO-ton unit will have to be add ed right away"
 At present the property is in opera tion, working 12 men. A camp has been established and a road built to the mill. The company owns IS claims and has a lease and bond on four other claims. The officers are W. P. o'Meara, president; w. A. Ste phen, secretary and treasurer; W. B. Van Horn, vice president. It is capi- talized for 1,5OO,OOO shares with 75O,- poo shares in the treasury.-Salt Lake Herald-Republican.

STRIKE Is MADE ON 400 FOOT LEVEL OF
 ADAMS PROPERTY
[From Tuesday,s paily Minerl

In the crosscut on the 400 foot level of the Adams mine at Oatman, a fine body of ore has been opened up, the trike being made yesterday morning. The management has been looking for the cutting of the vein for some days, and now that ore has been opened it is expected that things will boom on the property.
 The Adams company has been operating the property consistently work teing carried along with no fuss or feathers. The Adams is said to be one of the best looking propositions in the outide field and many mining men have picked it as winner.
