TO EXTEND EIGHTH
LEVEL AT NATIONAL

Arthur Feust. the New York mining
engineer representing the National
Leasing Company, arrived in town
Sunday morning and was met here by
Elmer Pfouts, resident engineer for
the company, and Perry G. Harrison,
superintendent of the National mine
The three gentlemen left yesterday
morning for National, and the two
first named will formally take over
the lease on the National mine.
VIII Begin Work at Once
The extension of the eighth level
of the National mine into the Ma
tional Leasing Company's territory
will begin promptly. The operations
are under the direction of Superin-
tendent Elmer Pfouts, a mining man
of recognized ability and wide expe-
rience. who will prosecute the work
with all possible dispatch in the hope
of making of the National Leasing
Company property a worthy neighbor
of the National mine
The level will follow the famous
vein into the adjoining National Leas-
ing Company ground to the south It
is estimated that to reach the north
end line of the National Leasing Com
extend the level a distance of about
400 feet At the point of entrance
into the National Leasing Company
ground, the eighth level will have a
vertical depth of around 1900 feet 1t
is estimated that to reach the Ma
tional Leasing Company's territory
through the extension of the eighth
level of the National mine it will cost
the National Leasing Company only
about $4,000, including a monthly
rental of $2,500 1t is calculated that
this work can be accomplished in
four months time.
The Importance of the acquisition
of the lease by the National Leasing
Company from the National Mines
Company is shown by the fact that
to reach the same depth by the sink
ing of shaft on the National Leas-
about a year and the expenditure of
in the neighborhood of 100000 1t is
readily apparent that the saving in
time will be about eight months and
in money about $4,000.
Under the terms of the lease, the
National Mines Company retains
right of way through all of the work
ings of its property, and upon pay
ment of the proportionate share of
the cost the National Leasing Com
pany agrees to handle any ores ex-
tracted from the National Mines Com
pany property below the fifth level.
While the lease runs for about one
year, the National Leasing Company
has the privilege of renewal from
year to year for four years more.
In view of the great storehouse of
gold opened up in a single shoot in
the adjoining National mine, the po-
tentialities of the National Leasing
Company's property, possessing as 1t
does the continuation of the same
vein, are readily apparent; therefore
the operations of the National Leas-
ing Company in following along the
vein at great depth in search of an
other high-grade ore body will be
watched with keen interest by the
mining world

Considering Unsinkable Ship

WASHINGTON. July 31-The ship
ping board is considering a practically
unsuitable ship which is a modifica-
tion of the modern tank steamer. The
ships could be readily changed to tank
steamers after the war. The con-
struction is much the same as the
compartments in a battleship. They
hits and yet remain afloat
