ATLANTA'S BIG vein TO BE
EXPLORED AT DEPTH
OF 1900 FEET

ed and upon which all efforts are
now being centered, is to continue
sinking to the 19OO-foot point to
complete the station here and to
drive the east cross-cut to the big
Atlanta vein and through it to the
hanging wall. Raises will then be
driven to explore this vein at the
point where it forms a junction with
the west vein. 1t is here that Man
ager Darcy and other competent
authorities expect the best results
to be obtained and Mr.. Darcy hopes
to have the east cross-cut at this
depth we'll advanced within the next
fortnight.
Development work extending over
an area several hundred feet in
extent and throughout the great ore
channel, between the 1400 and
1750foot levels, has exposed large
quantities of low-grade gold-cop-
per ore, and number of ship
ments of higher grade ore, found
chiefly on the 175O-foot level, were
sent to the smelters for treatment.
This ore yielded a profit at time
when copper was selling at about
II cents and the copper content of
the ore ranged from four to Is per
cent.
The fact that the best ore has
been found on the 1850 or deepest
level of the mine is accepted as
proof that the quality of the ore
improves with depth, and the re-
suits of work on the bottom level
have given support to the belief
that there is zone of higher en-
richment not far below the 1850
level.

In local mining circles the opera
tions of the Atlanta Mines company
are commanding the keenest interest
and those who are familiar with
the property and with the character
of work now in progress are con-
vinced that the next few weeks will
bring news of developments of the
greatest moment to Atlanta stock
holders and to the entire district.
The deep winze, started from the
175O-foot level, is progressing rapid
ly with the aid of powerful machin-
cry and a sinking pump of ample
capacity.
At point about so feet below
the 1750-foot level the winze pene
trated the hanging wall of the west
vein, which at this depth is found
to have assumed flat dip to the
east vein at a depth of little less
than 1900 feet. The winze is still
in vein matter. proving the existence
here of a wide quartz zone, contain
ing seams of pay ore.
From indications revealed in
workings farther west on the 1850
foot level it has been the belief
of Manager Darcy that the winze
would reach the shale at depth of
about 1900 feet, at which point it
is his plan to cut station and sump
and to drive a cross-cut to the main
vein. The possibility is now pre-
sented of the presence of a quartz
zone extending from the present
floor of the winze down to the
shale, and in this event the further
chance exists that deposits of pay
ore may be found upon reaching
the point where the vein comes in
contact with the shale.
The first work to be accomplish

CRACKER JACK NINE
HAS QUARTZ IN
BIG VEINS
DRIFTS AT DEPTH ARE EXPIOR-
ING FORMATION OF
PROMISE

Development work of the Reor-
ganized Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany has advanced to a point where
results of definite value may rea-
sonably be expected at any time and
work is progressing rapidly in two
widely separated quartz zones of
excellent promise. In the main east
cross-cut on the 320-foot level, at
points respectively $40 and $50
feet from the shaft. working sta
tions have been cut and drifts are
being extended in well-defined veins
From the first point mentioned
the drift is advancing north. fol-
lowing a wide vein or fault fissure
and showing quartz that is heavily
mineraliZed and has yielded excel
lent assays. The more easterly drift
is being driven south from the
cross-cut. near the hanging wall of
vein of great width. With these
drifts further advanced. a series of
raises will be driven and both veins
will be prospected thoroughly.

SUNSET N. & D.
HAS GOOD ORE
LOWER LEVELS OF DENVER
NINE MAKE EXCELLENT
SHOWING

Good results have attended the
development work in progress on
the Denver claim of the Sunset
Mining & Development company,
near Rhyolite. A substantial ton
mage of high-grade milling ore is
being placed in sight, together with
a most gratifying showing of high
er grade material, some of which
could be shipped profitably to the
smelters for treatment.
Late reports from the property
indicate that the orebodies being
opened in the Denver territory will
average up to a value rendering it
possible to sweeten the large guam
titles of low-grade mill ore expos
ed in other parts of the big proper
ty, which embraces the old Tramp
Consolidated and Sunset groups. in
addition to the Denver
Excellent returns have been had
from sampling new orebodies ex-
pOSoQ on the f0U anu 0UO-lOOl
levels, as well as in raises connect
ing these levels. The south raise,
about lao feet from the shaft, has
cut an orebody of good size and ap-
pearance, yielding assays well above
$50 across two feet, with wider
body of high-grade mill ore. An
interesting feature in recent work
is the appearance of ore marked
by a rich green stain, similar in
appearance to the jewelry ore found
on the Original Bullfrog property.
Development work is being ex-
tended on the deeper levels, while
raises and cross-cuts are being driv-
en- to explore the large zone of me-
tal-bearing quartz. The company
has a mill of substantial capacity,
in which it has treated ore at low
cost, and has acquired a water sup
ply system that will furnish all
water required for every purpose.

KEWANAS NOW HAS
VENTILATION
At DEPTH
BETTER AIR WILL FACILITATE
SYSTEM OF WORK
PLANNED

Connection has been made be-
tween the main south drift of the
Reorganized Kewanas, at a depth of
$40 feet, and the most northerly
workings of the Jumbo Junior COM
pany, at the northern boundary of
the territory leased by the latter
from the Kewanas. The connection
has been made within and near the
center of the big ore-channel and
the resulting improvement in venti-
lation will render possible the car
rying forward at once of plans for
the more comprehensive exploration
of the southern part of the Kewanas
property at this depth.
1t is the intention of Manager
Darcy to proceed with this work
by driving series of raises from
the drift and from the southeast
cross-cut, in order to prospect the
hanging wall side of the great vein,
and cross-cuts will be driven at in
tervals from the drift in the quest
for deposits of pay ore. The work
thus far in this territory has re
vealed many strong seams that
yield good assays in gold and cop
per, and the geological indications
are favorable throughout this area
for finding valuable orebodies.
The company's work in this ter
ritory up to the present point has
been chiefly of a preparatory ma
ture and confined to the south drift
and southeast crOss-cut, from which
the ore-channel can now, with i'm
proved air conditions, be explored
to good advantage. The cross-cut
has been advanced diagonally
through the vein and owing to the
flat position and great width of the
latter has continued in the quartz
zone for considerably over 200 feet,
the south drift having been opened
from this cross-cut.
Near the point where the air con
neCtlOn mas just Deen Hldue ana
within the ground leased to the
Jumbo Junior, some ore of high
grade has been exposed in the
workings of the latter company, but
not directly in line on the strike
of the vein with the drift of the
Kewanas. 1t will now be the OH
ject of the latter company to ex-
plore this entire area, throughout
the width of the Ore-channel and
far to the east, beyond the hang
ing wall, and to prospect the con-
tact zone above this wall.
There is no means at present of
determining the depth or position
of the shale to the east of these
workings, although from its depth
in adjacent ground there is reason
to believe that it will be found at
about the present level east of the

JUMBO EXTENSION
PROSPECTING
IN SAALE
CHANCES OF OPENING GOOD
OREBODIES APPEAR
BRIGHT

Satisfactory progress IS again Le-
ing made in sinking the deep winze
from the 1O17-foot level of the Jum-
no Extension mine, after brief in
terruption caused by the breaking of
the auxiliary hoist at this level. NJ
other hosting engine has been IN
stalled and sinking will proceed, fol-
lowing the rather flat dip of the
vein, which is the main ore-channel
of the Goldfield district.
Sinking was started we'll below
the surface of the shale, which was
exposed nearly above this point at
al depth of about $50 feet, where
the now famous shale contact or
body was opened in the Velvet claim.
In development work below that
point it was demonstrated that the
contact zone formed a distinct ore
channel and that the main vein con-
tinued at depth, maintaining It's
normal dip and magnitude, far with
in the shale.
The object of the work now going
forward is to explore the big vein
a; greater depth, seeking the deeper
extension of the ore-shoots found
above the shale's surface, and at
still greater depth to prospect the
contact zone between the shale and
basic alaskite or granite. Many
seams of pay ore have been exposed
in the course of sinking, proving the
highly mineralized condition of the
vein within the shale, which is
matter of vital interest to students
of the geology of this district and
bears out the predictions of eminent
geologists regarding the persistence
of the ore-shoots at depth in Gold
field.
At point about 70 feet, down in
the winze a drift was extended Tor
a short distance to the north, with
the object of prospecting at point
in line with the downward rake OF
the big ore-shoot opened in the
everything latte. This work was
carried to point where encourag-
ing results were obtained and wide
seams of ore were found that yield
ed assays we'll up in the shipping
figures. Another drift will be
started shortly in the same direc-
ton and for the same purpose and
others will be driven at intervals
as sinking progresses.
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain property, east of Walker Lake,
and which has been developed to the
producing point by the Jumbo Ex-
tension company, have been crafty
ing in increasing measure. Ship
ments of ore averaging nine per
cent copper have been going forward

tanned and a considerable quantity

Civil Service Shows
Big Losses in the
Philippine Isles

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Manila, Jan. 30.--While every bu-
reau of the Philippine government has
suffered in the last six months since
the passage of the law which enables
the American civil service employee
of more than six years standing to
retire on a small pension extending
over three years, the bureau of agri-
culture reports the heaviest loss from
designations and retirements. Fully
50 per cent of the Americans in this
important bureau have left the gov
eminent service.
Adriano Hernandez, Filipino, the
director of the bureau, In published
statements denied that these resigna-
tons have affected the efficiency OF
the bureau. He states that for some
time past Filipinos have been acting
as assistants to the Americans who
have retired, thus gaining training to
take up the work the Americans leave.
OF the twenty-one divisions of the
bureau seven are now entirely in the
hands of Filipinos, while the remain
der have American chiefs with Fill
Pine subordinates training to take
their places.
In one department-that of the vet
erinarians-the retirement OF Ameri-
cans has caused serious inconven-
fence. Rinderpest has for years been
dread cattle scourge in the islands.
Last year saw it reach a high mark
of fatality just when American vet
erinarians, already reduced in num-
Der and crippled in their operations
by the small appropriation for their
work, were beginning to tire of the
service and take advantage Of the
retirement law.
Unlike the other departments, there
are few Filipinos competent to take
up the work of the retiring veteri-
narians. There is but one institu-
tion-the University of the Philip
pines-which teaches veterinary med

AS a result of the depletion OF the

cricket team, for instance, is made
up of about ten Americans and two
or three students from India. At
Trinity only four British students re-
main, these begin exempt from SER
vice for one cause or another; at St.
Johns nine; at Wadham FIVE; and
similar depletion all along. The
American Rhodes scholars go on as
usual, however, with little or no
change in courses, although the whole
manner of college life has changed.

night lighting, some OF the schools
have given up their traditional even

the universities also are all changed,
all the men servants having gone to
war and women having taken their
places for the first time as bedmakers
and in the kitchens and butteries.
Keble has introduced seventeen

No Athletics.
In athletics, for which the univer-
sites were famous, there is prac-
tically a complete suspension. Few
of the colleges were able to keep up
foot ball or hockey teams. Rowing
has similarly been demoralized, and
none Of the famous old Fights could
be kept together. By combining,
Magdalen. ST. Johns, University and
New College managed to ship two
four-oared crews which have taken
part in some local contests. Track
teams have been completely given up.
About the only outward evidence of
athletics has been the drilling OF
squads of university recruits pre-
paratory to their leaving for the front.

Cause Of Explosion
On Cruiser Tsukuba
Remains Mystery

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Toxic. Jan. S0.-Nayal officers ridi-
cule reports that the explosion on the
battleship-cruiser Tsukuba on Janu-
airy IA was the work Of German spies,
The Tsukuba sank soon after the ex-
ploSion and the revised estimate
shows that Isl Seamen we're killed
and that at least fifty injured.
The cause remains a mystery, but
is explained by naval man as prob
ably due to spontaneous combustion
in the powder magazine. That there
was not larger loss OF life is due
to the fact that about half OF the
crew were ashore at Yokosuka, where
the warship was at anchor
Captain Arima had just arrived on
board from shore when a tremendous
roar, which was heard many miles
away, and the ship was encaSed in
pillar of smoke and flames. The
conclusion blew a hole in the hull
through which the water rushed and
within few minutes the ship began
to sink. There were $40 seamen and
few officers on board at the time,
Many were killed outright and others
were blown into the sea.
Launches and cutters were dis
patched to the rescue. Divers who
made an investigation found many
dead men seated about the table in the
mess room. A number OF sailors who
were on deck were blown into the air
and were crushed to death when they
fell again to the deck The bodies OF
sixty-two sailors were recovered from
the sea and it is believed that the rest
are lodged in the wreck of the ship.
The Tsukuba was the first large
warship to be built in home yards. On
several occasions it had conveyed the
late emperor and empress during
naval maneuvers. The warship visited
America on the occasion of the
jamestown exposition. 1t was re-
garded as rather superannuated and
was lately used as training ship OF
naval gunnery.
Captain Arima was saved. The pic
ture Of the emperor, which hung in
the officers room, was saved by Lieu

WHO, WHERE AND WHEN,

The day of registration is almost before us. The government has placed the responsibility of failure to register on the individuals. There f re it is up to every person to do his neighbory duty, to discuss the registration and to see to it that no single person fails to register because of lack of information, The slackers will be taken care of along other lines
 Those who must register are all male persons or aliens both between the 9th day of June, 1886, and the 5th day of June 1896 You know your birthday.
 The exemptions are very few, and not of particular interest here They save practically only those now active in the war service not merely those who may have enlisted
 The time to register is Tuesday, June ], between [ o'clock in the fore noon and o'clock in the evening
 The place to register is the place you wou cast your vote. If you are to be absent from your home, there is provision made for your registra- tion. for if you will go now to the county clerk and make affidavit that you will be away on June ., the card may be prepared for you.
 The penalty for failure to register is years Imprisonment in some fed eral prison, and then to be registered as 3 conscript immediately after that year of penalty is served.
 Remember, there are nc exemp- tious. Remember that while you may be in ful possession of all these facts, some other person may not be. and talk these brief details in your daily life until after the day of reg istrstion Then do that other patri- otic duty and assist the government in getting the information of every stacker who has tried to eyade his duty and shift the whole duty to your brother, your son, or your patriotic hetghbor
