GAS co. TANK IS
WRECKED BY FALL
EXPLOSION AND FALL OF TANK
AWAKENS MANY
PEOPLE

The big tank of the Globe Gas
company, which has been buried in
the rear of the Casey building and
has been supplying gas to a num-
Der of Main street business houses,
was badly damaged at . O'CLOCK
this morning when it fell, after hav-
ing been hoisted above the ground
to make repairs.
Noise caused by the fall of the
big galvanized iron tank could be
heard for a long distance and awoke
many people, who thought a big
explosion had occurred.
r. H. Marine, manager for the
company here, stated this morning
that the fall was caused by a slight
explosion of condensed gas remain
ing in a feed pipe in the ground. A
workman held a lamp too near the
mouth of the pipe and the resulting
blast was great enough to cause
the rope from which the tank was
suspended to break. The explosion
was not in the interior of the tank,
which was empty, and most of the
noise was caused by the fall.
A new tank is being installed aud
service will be resumed in a short
time.

Working through the committee

it's August lead requirements, to
supply which tonnage some 1900 in
dividual mining companies will prob
ably be called upon. In July these
lead companies furnished 5000 tons

The Missouri curtailment will not
be reflected in the refined market,
for some time at least, as the strike
was confined to the mine output ex-

sent work in the near future and
it is planned to explore the VEIN in

Ore found on the deepest level of

crystals in considerable quantity,
the presence of which has been an
almost unfailing Indication at other
points in the district of the pres
ence of exceedingly rich ore. Small
quantities of zinc are also found in
this ore, while the copper content is
similar in character to that OF the
high-grade gold = copper deposits
found farther to the south. All
mineral indications here are highly
encouraging and support the belief
that large bodies Of shipping ore will
be found with further development

CROSS MAY
AID FAMILIES
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE MUST
COME FROM GOVERNMENT
SAYS CHAIRMAN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. az
The question having been raised as
to whether the Red Cross will assist
in taking care of dependent families
of soldiers and sailors called into
service in this war, Mr.. Henry p.
Dawson, chairman, on behalf of the
Red Cross War Council, authorizes
the following.
Obviously the task of providing
for the financial assistance of the
families of Jul soldiers and sailors
is so large that the government
alone can assume it. In no other
way can the burden be discharged
fairly and as a matter of right
rather than charity. No volunteer
organization, or organizations. could
adequately cope with a duty of such
magnitude.
The American people will not, of
permit families to suffer
want because their bread-winners
are fighting for their country. Cases
will undoubtedly arise wherein the
allowance of the government will
not be adequate to protect a family
from financial distress. Such in
stances the Red Cross will hope to
provide for through it's chapters.
The Red Cross chapters can AMI
will provide also the friendly SER
vices which may be needed and ac-
ceptable because of ill-health or
other misfortune or because of fam
lily conditions which, if neglected,
would result in need and suffering
or disaster to the home.
That this work may be done with
thoroughness and uniformity, the
Red Cross has published The
Manuel of Home Science" for the
guidance of chapters. This civilian
relief work is under the direction
of w. Frank Persons, director gen
eral of civilian relief.

which is of great width, and this
condition is made possible by the
fact that there is a step fault of
considerable extent. which raises the
lower part of the vein above the
level of the first or western drift.
Gold, silver, copper, together with
a small quantity of zinc and the bis
muth crystals that usually are
found here only in association with
exceedingly rich ore, all are pre-
sent in the vein and this level is
to be explored in a most thorough
manner.

Some good assays have been OBJ
tanned in the main drift, at a point
nearly under the old bonanza lease
workings of the Sandstone. On
this level connection has been made
with the old Kruger lease shaft and
raises will now be given to connect
with the old lease Slopes, in which
some good ore is known TO have
been left when the leases expired
and work was suspended.
Grandma Consolidated
The main shaft of the Grandma
company is progressing at good
speed and is approaching the 500
foot level. A recent change in the
formation indicates that the shaft
is entering solid latte in which
most of the rich orebodies of the
district have been found, and the
prospects are regarded as in every
way encouraging.

ment reasons why they should
not be finally ordered to report
for military duty.
If such persons do not appear
and present these reasons, they
have simply neglected to take ad-
vantage of an opportunity that
was offered solely for their bene-
fit. The failure of persons to
take advantage of this oppor-
tunity does not interfere with the
raising of the army, and inter
ests the government only as pun
ishable crime of omission. If
they do not desire to make any
such claims or, if for any other
reason they fail to appear, their
names are automatically posted
as having been called and not
exempted or discharged. Automa-
tically also. they are indicted into
the military service and made
subject to military law. Failure
to appear merely hastens this
automatic process.
When the time allowed for
making these claims has elapsed,
these persons will be enrolled as
in the military service. They
will then be ordered to appear
as soldiers. From this point on,
they will be under the swift and
summary procedure of courts
martial. Failure to report fa 4
military duty when ordered to dot
so constitutes desertion.
Desertion in time of war is a
capital offense. Deserters may be
apprehended by either civil or
military authority and, after the
mandate of the federal govern
ment has gone forth, the whole
strength of the military arm of
the government is available to
apprehend deserters. if it is nee
essary to use such force.
Demonstrations against local
boards are simply futile strokes
in the air. All the records neces-
sary to hold such persons are al
ready on file at state headQuar-
tiers and at the national capital.
and since local boards have no
occasion to use any force in sim
ply offering a beneficial oppor-
tunity to registered persons. there
is no field for resistance. If re-
sistance is attempted later when
the army seeks to apprehend
deserters it will instantly en-
counter troops of the federal gov-
eminent.

ENGINEERS TO
MEET IN WEST
ANNUAL MEETING OF A. I. VI.
f.. TO INSPECT OIL
DISTRICTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Plans for
the 115th meeting of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers,
which include an inspection of the
coal of Illinois, the zinc
and other mining operations of Mis-
souri,, and the oil fields of Oklaho-
ma were made public today. The
meeting will be held during the
week of Oct. s to 10.
On account of the war the meet
ing will assume something of a
patriotic character. Methods will
be discussed for conserving the pre-
sent supply and increasing the out
put of the country's minerals which
will prove of tremendous value in
winning the war.
1t had been thought at one time
that the meeting of the institute
might be postponed in the national
emergency, but the leading engin-
GERS are of the opinion that a con-
ference of the mining men at this
time on subjects related to the war
will be of extraordinary value. Re-
cent conventions of the sister tech
nical societies have been of great
Importance and have attracted rec
ord attendances.
The American Institute of Mining
Engineers now numbers more than
5000 members in every part of the
country and in many parts of the
world and representatives will be
present of all the principal Ameri-
can mining centers.
The program calls for several
days sessions in and around st.
Louis and an inspection tour to the
rich mineral Joplin Miami district
and the oil fields of Tulsa, Okla.
The engineers will be guests of the
st. Louis section of the institute,
the chairman of committees includ-
ing a number of well-known names.
Among them are H. A. Buehler.
state geologist of Missouri; F. w.
De Wolf, Illinois, past president of
the association of state biologists:
James E. Caselton, St. Louis; A. H.
Wheeler, st. Louis. E. F. Goltra.
ST. Louis. Philip n. Moore of st.
Louis, is president of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers.

been made lately, with satisfactory
results.
Great Bend Mine
The richest ore sent out from
the district in late months has come
from the two main levels of the
Great Bend mine and by far the
richest of all from the main stope.
A raise is being driven from the
300-foot level to connect with the
intermediate above, and in extend
ing this raise ore of excellent ship
ping grade has been broken and a
steady output has been maintained
from this work alone. None of the
richest ore of the big stope has
been broken lately. while the con-
Meeting raise was being driven. II
is now apparent that this ore-shoot,
the best ever found in the property,
extends from the bottom level to
the surface.
Silver Pick Con.
Work is progressing in the ex-
treme northern part of the prop
erty, where seams of good ore were
found some time ago in prospecting
at a depth of 105 feet and from the
old Won Polenz lease shaft. This
vein proved to be erratic in point
of value, but is being further pros
pected in the hope of finding a de-
posit of commercial ore.
Red Hill Florence
The condition of the Red Hill
Florence property is pronounced by
mining engineers to be highly en-
couraging and ore of commercial
grade has been exposed at three
points: in the main drift on the
5O0-foot level and in two of the
three raises above this level. An
interesting condition has developed
here with the discovery of a we'll
defined cross vein. yielding some
good assays. A raise is now being
driven at the point of intersection
of the two veins and a new level
will be opened some so feet above
the main level. The drift has ex-
posed good ore near some of the
old bonanza lease slopes of the ad-
joining Florence mine.

Numerous events of unusual i'm
portance have occurred in connec-
ton with the development work in
progress on the White Caps mine
since the last report was issued. OF
these the most important Is the
sensationally high grade r being
developed by the operations in the
winze which was recently started
in the east ore body from the 435-
foot level, the deepest developed
ore in the mine.
On the dip of the vein the point
nearly 600 feet from the surface,
and, as has been frequently report
ed, the ore body at this point aver
aged over 80 feet in width, carry
ing values above $34 per ton across
the full width.
The winze was started on the
hanging wall side of the vein, and
is being sunk vertically through
the ore. Sinking will continue
vertically until the footwall IS
reached, when further operations
will continue on the incline follow
ing the footwall.
1t had been demonstrated that
very high grade ore lay on the
footwall side of the vein, but until
the winze operation was begun re-
Gently it was not known that such
phenomenally high grade values
exist also in the hanging wall side.
Mustang
A new ore shoot panning from
SIS to 5000 has been discovered
close to the surface on the apex
of Mustang hill. This tense has the
same general characteristics as that
from which Train e. Chase have
taken out forty thousand dollars
and as the dimensions are increas-
ing with depth it is to be hoped
that similar conditions will be en-
countered. The oxidized shoot on
the 225-foot level of the lease
workings shows more quartz carry
ing coarse gold. The sulphide
shoot still maintains it's high values
and should intersect with the above
as development progresses. An eX-
cess of water caused by the late
heavy rains has prevented the eX-
ploratiOn of the lower workings or
the company shaft from which it
was expected hat a trial millinc
could be extracted. This abnormal
condition should not, however, be
of long duration.
Manhattan Mammoth
The company has just let a con-
tract for fifty feet of tunnel pre-
vious to the resumption of work in
the neal future.

 But this argument was advanced as one of the chief reasons why any
