MONTEzUMA MINES
PREPARING TO
OPERATE
PROPERTIES MADE RICH SILVER
OUTPUT IN EARLIER
PERIOD

Silver mines that gained nation
wide fame nearly a half century ago
are to be reopened shortly in the
Montezuma district, situated less
than Is miles west of Goldfield, ac-
cording to plans of the Montezuma
Mines corporation, owner of the
early-day producers. The old Mon
tezuma property is said to have pro-
duced upwards of 100000 net, it's
product having been shipped by
freight teams to the old camp of
Candelaria for treatment.
Ore of exceedingly high grade was
mined in the district, chiefly from
surface slopes and shallow drifts,
and work conducted at intervals
since the early period of production
has resulted in exposing rich ore at
a number of points on various prop
critics. The camp flourished during
the late sixties and early seventies,
but with the decline in the price of
silver operations were discontinued.
In more recent years a considerable
amount of surface work has been
done, but only on a limited scale.
The deepest workings were only
about 200 feet from the surface.
Following the suspension of work
by the old company the district was
neglected for many years. The old
company, when it ceased work, had
a substantial cash balance, but this
was lost through the defalcation of
the treasurer and the property later
came into the possession of the pres
ent corporation, but continued liti-
cation prevented the resumption of
work and the final clearing of the
titles is of comparatively recent
date. The property consists of 10
patented claims. the titles to which
are now said to be perfect.
1t is announced that the company
is planning to start work on its
ground within the next 60 days and
that development work will be con-
Quoted in comprehensive manner,
with equipment designed to operate
on a broad scale, on at least two
parts of the property. Other por-
tions of the property will be thrown
open for leasing. Directors of the
company are Henry B. Needham,
Duncan Cameron, William F. Her
bert, Joseph Hoover, Robert Dixon
and Charles L. Knox, all of New York
and J. G. Thompson of Goldfield. Mr..
Thompson will act in the capacity of
legal agent for the company in Ne
vada.

under existing conditions of mar
keting the concentrate. Some good
ore has been coming from the
Grizzly Bear mine, which produced
large quantities of gold-copper ore
of smelling grade several years ago.
The company is now treating some
of it's mill failing.
Atlanta Mines Co.
The work of sinking the new deem
winze is now in progress and will be
continued to a depth of 1000 feet
1750-fOot level, at point just west
of the footwall of the great Atlanta
vein. Powerful equipment, including
an electric hosting engine and aux
iliary air compressor, has been in
stalled at this point, in order to
insure rapid progress in sinking. 1t
is the plan of Manager Darcy to
drive cross-cuts to the vein on the
1900 and 2000-foot levels, where
the vein will be explored by means
of drifts and raises. The best ore
yet found in the mine was exposed
on the 1750-foot level and in wines
sunk a short distance below this
level, and indications all point to a
continuation of the ore to far great
er depth.
ReOrganiZed Kewanas
New work in the southern part
of the Kewanas property is produc-
ing results that are highly encOurag-
aging and indicate that this part of
the mine will eventually produce a
substantial tonnage of commercial
ore. Advancing in a southeasterly
direction, the long cross-cut has
been in vein matter for a consider
able distance and is believed to be
nearing the hanging wall of the vein,
still at some distance from the big
fault that has been exposed farther
south, extending from the Kewanas
into Jumbo territory. At number
of points the cross-cut has shown
seams of ore, varying in width from
few inches to nearly three feet and
yielding excellent assays. Develop

Stocks Of Food in
Great Britain Lower
Than Ever Before is
Statement Of Premier
Success of Allied Cause Dependent Solution of Tonnage
Tax-"Drastic Measures Necessary or Disaster is
Before Us"-Big Demand for Foods After War
(By Associated Press.1

London, Feb. 23-Premier Lloyd
George said in a speech in the house
of commons today that the success of
the allied cause depended on the abfl-
ity to solve the tonnage shortage
which was now affecting the ordinary
needs of the nation and military ex-
igencies. The situation, he declared,
calls for the gravest measures.
The stocks of food in Great Britain
at present are lower than they ever
have been before Lloyd George
said. 1t was essential for the life of
the nation, he declared, that every
possible effort be made to increase
home production.
The premier said there was no sure
way to victory without hunting the
submarines from the sea.
Enormous sacrifices are necessary
for the British public said Lloyd
George. He stated the government
proposed to dispense with all non-es@
sential importation to save tonnage. .
There was a crowded house at the
special meeting held today to listen to
the premier's statesment on restric-
tions of imports and encouragement
or agriculture.
The premier, said the ultimate sue
cess of the allies cause depended up
on solution Of tonnage difficulties with
which they are confronted. Before the
war British tonnage was just ade-
quate and since that time there had
been an enormous increase in demand
for tonnage. More than 100000 tons
of British shipping had been allotted
to France alone and a very considerable
amount has been set aside for Russia

amount had been sunk.
Lloyd George said that for some
time there had been" a shortage of ton

the conditions were.
