Alciatore, the average depth of
snow was IA feet with a density OF
"a 1-5 per cent, as compared with
a depth of 13 feet and a density of
about one per cen less for the lat

records show that there was about
two and one-half feet less snow at
Summit in the middle of March, al
though the density vas greater.

Woman Made Citizen

Mrs. Rosa Corando of Cherry
Creek, White Pine county, was ad-
mitted to citizenship by Judge C.. j.
McFadden in the district court at
Ely, following an examination be-
fore F. N. L~ittleton, special natur-
a~lization agent. This was the first
time in the history of White Pine
county, and it is thought in the
state, that a woman was admitted
to citizenship after going through
the regular form prescribed for
men.

the regular form prescribed for
men.
north and south crosscuts made
good Roadway. The one leading
from the Sandgrass shaft towards
the Merger ground progressed at
the regular rate of speed with no
change showing in the formation,
which is calcite-andesite. The south
ern crosscut from the Merger shaft
continued to make progress in Mon
tana breccia, and aside from the
footage attained there was no
change in the workings. Two shifts
of men are engaged in pushing these
crOsscuts, and a junction of the two
should be eected within a short
time.
On the 1000-foot level the ross
cut on the Lower Sandgrass vein
connected with the raise, and there
upon was discontinued. A small
amount of stopping is now being
done in this vicinity on some string
ers that carry occasional values,
with the promise that a better
showing will be developed with the
extension of the work.
a. A. 1914 go -
velopment work was done during
the week, but the usual amount of
stopping took place on the Breccia
vein, where, from a three to four
foot width, the usual quantities of
ore are being yielded.
On the 1300-foot level, the inter
mediate drift on the Breccia vein
made the usual progress. The val
ues have fallen off during the week
and the ore is now classed as low
grade; but the general conditions
attending the extension of the work
further development.
TOnOpah Extension
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company completed it's cleanup for
the first half of March on Monday
and shipped to the smelter % big
bars of bullion. The weight of the
shipment is not available, but the
estimated valuation placed upon the
shipment is $4,000.
Conditions in the big mines are
of the most favorable character, with
the exception of the shaft sinking
work. The Extension seems to have
more than it's share of trouble in
that respect, for the work that UNI
der ordinary conditions would have
been completed weeks ago has been
delayed again and again by acct
dents. The water was taken out of
the shaft during the week and OPP
erations were about to start when
equipment allowed more water to
come in. There is no doubt that
this will be remedied within a day
or two, and the work of sinking
the shaft will be resumed. The
completion of such work will be of
the greatest benefit to the Exten-
sion, for then will commence the
lateral development on the lowest
level in southern Nevada. the only
other workings exceeding the Vic
tor in depth in Nevada being those
on the Comstock, where depths of
27O0 feet have been attained.
The development work consisted
of 326 feet, somewhat less than that
of the preceding week, when $50
feet of work was performed. Out
of the present weeks total 113
feet was made at the No. 2 shaft
workings and 213 feet in the Vic
tor ground, where all the work is
being done on the 1910 level.
Some of the workings achieved
their purpose and blocked out areas
of ore-bearing ground while other
headings proved up veins along the
different levels.-Tonopah Miner.

@s Hartford, March 2e.-A represen- tative gathering of men concerned largely with agricultural and business interests of the state, and including the chief officers of many state asso. citations, considered plans for an in- crease of the food production in this state this year, at a meeting here this Afternoon.

 The meeting was held ]. under the auspices of the Connecticut Chamber Of Commerce and followed a pre- liminary meeting last week of officers of the Chamber of Commerce with leading agriculturalists. About fifty were present.
 Governor Holcomb said the people of Connecticut had paid no attention to the war cloud lowering over the state for two years. It was impossi- ble to tell, he said, who was loyal or disloyal until the test came.
 The governor said he hoped the Na- tional Guard would not be taken from the state. He spoke of the Home Guard and said it ought to include no less than 5,000armed and equipped men, who would be of value in the protection of property. The military census was lAaised by the governor, who said that Connecticut had done Che pioneer work in that line.
