REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT Is NOT
SHARED BY ALL MEMBERS,
HOWEVER.

Dublin, Sept. 17.-(By MaiD-The
Sim Fem party in Ireland is extend
ing its activities and forming local
clubs throughout the country. It still
remains, however, rather pervading
sentiment than definite organiza.
ton. 1t is impossible to say which
particular individuals are the author
lied opponents of its purpose Some
speakers continue to preach revolu-
ton by armed force, while others ap-
pear to aim at a program much near
er the limits Of practical politics.
The Associated Press correspondent
has talked with some who are very in
fluential in the movement and to
whom free Ireland under the crown
is quite welcome idea, provided 1t
does not mean subsection to British
cabinet. This is not so very far from
the home rule that Canada enjoys. The
great bulk Of the support given at the
elections to Sim Fem candidates
comes rather from men dissatisfied
with the conduct of current politics
and the necessary restrictions of the
war, than from those who adhere
in principle or practice to methods Of
violence.
There is continuously hopeful feel
ing that the Irish convention may
turn out good. workable scheme of
self-governmens.
Meanwhile the military authorities
are treating the situation on the as
sumption that the extremists mean
what they say. They are, in fact,
calling the bluff. So long as there Is
the threat of another rebellion they
take the threat seriously and seem de-
termined to make very clear the hope
lessness of repeating the wild expert
ence of Easter week, 1916.

GLASCOW-WESTERNS
is INCORPORATED
PROMINENCE WITH NEW
DEVELOPMENT

The incorporation of the old Glas-
gow-Western property in Copper
Canyon, which has been actively
operated for the past several
months, was announced Wednesday
by Manager F. Sommer Schmidt.
The board of directors of the new
company, which will operate under
the style name of the Copper
Canyon Mining company, are r. M.
Atwater, Jr., L.. E. Whicher, Bruce
McKelvie, C. G. Burger and F.
Sommer Schmidt.
Production from the property of
the newly organized company is now
at the capacity of the present hoist
ing equipment. However, an aver
age of 100 tons of mine rock is
being raised each day, with a con
siderable amount of this being
shipping ore. With the object of
increasing the production of the
mine the management is having a
new engine installed in the COM
pressing room, making a total of
three.
A continuation of the rich ore
body on the 1873 foot level, which is
furnishing a large part of the ore
now being shipped, has been found
on the 113 foot level. Stopping up
from the 1873 level to the 113 has
proved the existence of a large
body of shipping ore. Further de-
velopment work in this and other
parts of the mine has not been
conducted in order that this high
grade might be shipped at the pre-
vailing high price of copper.-Battle

THOMPSON SHELTER
STARTS OPERATIONS
OVER ONE HUNDRED MEN ARE
EMPLOYED ON THE
PREMISES

All preliminary plans for the
blowing in of the Thompson smelter
were concluded Saturday and, &C
cording to a phone message from
Manager Guernsey of the plant to
Superintendent Brown of the Reno
plant resumed operations Monday.
One hundred and twenty men are
employed at the smelter and, ac-
cording to present plans, it will be
run to full capacity. The failure
of a supply of coke to arrive at the
plant caused a delay in starting,
but enough is now on hand to keep
it running for several weeks, and
it is understood that several car
loads are now on the way from
the east.
The resumption of operations in
the Blue Stone mine several months
ago has assured the smelter OF
enough ore to keep it running at
full capacity at all times.
Whether the smelter will treat
custom ores from leasers in the
Luning copper district has not been
given out. 1t is expected by some
leasers that arrangements will be
made by the smelter to handle part
of their product, but according to
figures on tonnage the smelter will
secure all the ore it can handle
from the Blue Stone mine and from
the properties controlled by the
Mason Valley Mines company, own
ers of the smelter.
The town of Thompson, which
was practically deserted following
the closing of the smelter over two
years ago, is now a lively little place
and all Mason valley is feeling the
effects of the resumption of copper
mining on a big scale in the district.
There is not a cottage to be had
and carpenters are busy erecting
houses for those who must have
them. The men have brought their
families and the school is crowded.
A Sunday school has just been
started.
Work on the extension of the
Copper Belt railroad to the Blue
Stone mine is being rushed rapidly,
according to Mason valley visitors
in Reno, and it will not be long
until ore cars will replace the
freight teams in handling the out
put of the big property.-Reno

LINCOLN HILL HAS
HIGH GRADE ORE
COMPANY is MINING HEAVY
TONNAGE OF EXCELLENT
VALUES

The Lincoln Hill Mining and
Milling company is taking out high
grade milling ore continuously.
Two men are breaking enough ore
to keep the mill turning out
bullion.
AS development progresses ore for
treatment beyond the capacity OF
the present mill is placed in sight.
This is a warranty Of a large yield
of gold and the ore in sight justifies
the forecast that the property will
be on a dividend basis in a short
time.
J.. E. Kendall, who, with s. K.
Bradford, determined the National
high-grade shoot, from which mil
lions in gold and silver were
shipped, stated after visiting the
Lincoln Hill property:
THE mine looks simply great. 1t
has the real bonanza showing. There
is three feet of $50 ore on the
hanging wall and about twelve
inches of jewelry rock OF the foot
wall. 1t is one of the best things
1 have seen since the opening of
the great National mine.
This strong rich vein is the big
mine-maker of Lincoln hill and from
my sampling and observation I pre-
dict a great future for the property.
1t is an out-of-sight showing for
wealth of ore. The vein was cut by
a tunnel at $50 feet of depth and
the package to be stopped means a
great amount of money for the
owners"
The company has let leases on the
old workings with the result that
the leasers are gaining good re-
turns from their development work.

The tunnel is run in on the Fun

Work of sinking the shaft of the
Nevada Rand Mines company in
the Rand district in Mineral county
to the 500 foot mark is being rapid

down $50 feet and according to G.
R. Murdoch, consulting engineer
for the company, who just returned
from an inspection trip in company
with w. H. Rudderow, of Philadel-
phia, one of the directors of n
company, the property is in fine con-
dition.
"Four feet Of ore averaging $50
a ton has just been developed n
the extreme westerly workings OF
the Gold Pen mine, one mile east
erly on the same tissue" said Mr..
Murdoch. Shoots of ore have
now been developed for a distance
of over 400 feet along the vein in
this property. On the bottom level,
$50 feet in depth the vein is 2e
feet wide and shows five feet of
ore carrying SO per ton in gold.
