GEM MINE OUTRIyALS ITS
FORMER RICH RECORD

The New Gem mine, controlled by
II. II. Sheldon, G. T. Smith and Attor-
ney Hawkins, is producing some ex-
ceedingly rich silver ore. James
Gormly, veteran of the mountains,
has lease on the property. Recently
our mountaineer friend shipped car
with ore from the property which
netted the leaser more than $55 a
ton. The principal values are silver.
This ore was extracted from the west
vein. Lately, while digging out for a
basement for aGormly residence close
to the mine, a new rich silver-bearing
vein was opened The new vein shows
exceedingly rich silver ore, some of
it going as high as 600 ounces of sill
yer to the ton. The vein is stronger
than the one heretofore worked. Its
strength and richness increases the
value of the Sheldon-Smith-Ha Hawkins
property many times over. Engineer
Sheldon is confident that the new
vein, the richest and strongest dis
coyery on the property. will increase
in size and richness with depth.

OCCURS AT OGDEN

pulled of in Utah for some time was
consummated in Ogden yesterday,
when Leroy Eccles. James Devine of
Ogden and F. A. Greenwood of Salt
Lake City, and associates. took over
the old Rye Patch mine in northern
Nevada and two adjoining properties.
The price Is reported to represent a
large sum in cash and stock in the
new company. The property pur-
chased embraces 300 to 400 acres. It
includes the properties of the Rye
Patch Consolidated, Silver Bell and
Alpha and the Prudential.
The new company that is being or
ganized will be called the Rye Patch
Mines Company. There will be 1,0O0,-
900 shares of 81 par value The treas
ury will contain about 250,000 shares.
Leroy Eccles will be president and
James Devine secretary and treas
urer.
II is understood that Messrs. YAH
renkamp and Atchison, engineers,
and others have made favorable re-
ports on the property for the Utah
interests. The old Rye Patch mine
was developed to depth of $50 feet
II is accredited with heavy produc-
ton of high-grade silver ore in early
days. A portion of the old mine was
embraced in the new Silver Bell &
Alpha possessions. This company
was controlled by Lorin Hall, c. d.
Ray and associates of Salt Lake City.
They have been developing for some
time and found streaks of rich ore.
The old dumps are said to contain a
wealth of metallic values.
1t is understood that the present
company will erect a large mill to
treat the dumps and the second-class
ores in the mine, and that a large
force of men will be put on as soon
as weather conditions will justify.
One story is that an organized crew
from Bingham will be taken at once
to Nevada and the work pushed with
all possible speed right from the
start erald-Republican.

WASHINGTON, February g. The
diplomatic relations heretofore main
tanned between the United States and
Germany were broken this morning.
The United States embassy at Ber-

in Germany were ordered closed and
their staffs directed to leave Germany

German Ambassador Bernstorff, at
Washington, was handed his pass

Men prominent in both houses of
Congress say that in case Germany
should attack and sink any vessel
carrying the United States flag, the
act would be followed by an immedi-

Both War and Navy departments
are suddenly stirred to their highest
pitch of activity in view of possible
