The leasers operating rhe Mary Bell have begun sinking a wlnze on the ore near the breast of the drift, 255 feet from the portal.
 This point is pra.-.' well under the crest the hill anG provides high CT backs" than any other point in the tunnel, and, aside from this the fact that the tunnel had reached the intersection for which it was being driven, accompanied by the additional
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-01

There is now a good three feet of ore in the face of the North drift or the 24O-foot level of the New Tennes- see. Between this and one wall lies two feet of tale, which breaks clean leaving exposed a wall as smooth as a floor and standing almost perpendi- cular. The limits of the vein have not been reached, crosscuts run to- ward the other wall finding nothing but ore and mineralized material. The three feet just mentioned consists of quartz carrying iron sulphides, good values in zinc and some lead.
 Superintendent Ridenour has receiv- ed orders from head officials to re- sume sinking at his discretion, and this he is extremely anxious to begin, but the ore in the drift is improving so rapidly that he cannot make up his mind to suspend work there until he goes into it a little farther.
 Reports are current that the Ten nessee contemplates driving a drift several hundred feet to the New Ten nessee's line. When this work is to begin it has not been learned. Re, port has it further that work done south of the shaft on the 16OO-foot level of the Tennessee has showed the principal oreshoot to lie in that direc- tion, all of which is highly gratify- ing to the New Tennessee.
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-01

Judge J. P. Ryan, manager of the Union Metals company, paid a visit Saturday to the Fredonia workings of that company, returning highly en- thusiastic over the ore showings in the shaft. He reports that in addi- tiOn to the mere than two feet of $50 ore in the shaft, there now is four feet additional on hanging wall side of the vein that averages $2O ton in gold, silver, lead and zinc.
 This increase in the size, while somewhat of a surprise because the holes that revealed the new ore were put into what was supposedly the hanging wall, is not to be marveled at because the vein where exposed on the surface is very wide. The grati- flying feature lies in the satisfactory values across the entire bottom of the shaft and far into the vein on the one side.

GARFIELD IS TOLD
Kennedy Wires to Fuel Ad'
ministrator When He
Learns of the Con-
fiscati0n.

John L. Kennedy, state coal admin
istrator, advised DR.. Harry Garfield at
Washington of the appropriation by
the Rock Island railroad of the coal
supply at Fairbury, Neb., reported
this morning through The Bee corre-
spondent, together with similar cases
elsewhere in this state.
The seizure of the coal at Fairbury
created a coal famine which threat
ened the operation of the water and
electric light plants. . ia
"Dr. Garfield advised us when we
were in Washington that apS5eafia-
ton of coal in transit blythe railroads
was not to be permitted hereafter.
The railroads are to look after their
own supply and may apply to the gov
eminent for relief" said Mr.. Kennedy.
"The government will supply the rail-
roads with fuel. ..
"The, Union Pacific also has appro-
priate6 coal to its own use at Schuy-
ler, Neb."
These cases will be taken up with
the federal coal administration and
steps taken to prevent or obviate the
necessity of their recurrence in Ne
braska.

US. TR0OPSR ROUT
GERMAN SHIPPERS
At THEIR GAME
Sammies in Trenches Anxious
For Action; Few Cases Of
Sickness Reported; Men
Caked With Mud.

With the American Army in France,
Nov. Some of the American SOL
diers who have just been relieved
after service in the trenches had
thrilling stories to tell on returning
to the billets. On clear days, espe-
cially, German snipers, became active.
Bullets went singing harmlcssly over
lead. Anterican infantrymen were
tolled off to attend to any sniper who
became active, and more than one Of
them will snipe Americans no'inore..
This game Of ,"sniping the spiper"
is highly popular. The only CON-
plant heard today was that there
was not enough rife shooting to sat
isfy the infantrymen. Several of the
soldiers said they went out to fight
but did not get enough. There is no
scarcity of expert rihemen when a
sniper starts in.
Colonel Is Target.
A colonel had an exciting expe-
rience when the Germans nearly got
the range of an observation post in
which were he and his aide. They
lost no time in taking temporary
cover. re ,s
The artillery on both sides. was
rather more active during the last
days in which the first contingent of
Americans was in the trenches. The
Germans shelled' the back areas and
approaches, putting shrapnel and high
explosive shells in the direction of
the trenches and battery positions.
Aside from livening up things for a
while, nothing was accomplished by
the enemy. go ,..r.
The infantry in one section had
quite lively time for two nights.
The Germans, thinking a hostile
patrol was near them, opened fire
with their rifles at the point where
the opposing trenches are nearest.
The Americans let the Germans FIRE
for time and then they themselves
began to fire.
Morale Of Americans Excellent.
Several German ,airplanes which
flew over the trenches were targets
for rifles and machine guns.
The morale of the Americans is
distinctly pleasing to the French. The
troops marched out of the trenches
in the dark, their wet and muddy
clothes clinging to them. As soon
as they were out of hearing of the
Germans the men swung along
whistling or singing.
The battalions sent In to relieve
the men found the ground frozen
when they came up. The sector re-
mains normal, according to the latest
reports.

four days ago resulted in the death
of two members of the naval armed
guard, two army enlisted men and
four of the ships civilian crew. A

ment yesterday that the Finland had
been torpedoed, but had been able to
reach European port under its own
steam.
The casualty list as made public

Two of the dead and missing men
were members of the naval armed
guard and two were army men, a
private, and a negro transport worker.
The others lost were civilian mem-
bers of the Finland's crew.
Left in Small Boats
The announcement that five of the
men were drowned indicated to Off
cials that the Finland's company left
the vessel in small boats until it was
made certain that it could remain
afoat. The capsizing of one of the
boats in launching might account for
the drowning of the men.
1t is assumed that two of the armed
guard were killed by the explosion
of the torpedo and that the missing
one probably was blown overheard
by the explosion as was seaman on
the destroyer Cassin when it was
recently.

A French Atlantic Seaport, Nov. 2.
The American transport Finland is
in drydock here. The vessel received
such slight damages from the German
torpedo which recently struck it
that it will not be long before it
puts to sea again. The torpedo struck
a coal bunker which lessened the ef-
fect OF the explosion.
Those injured on board the Finland
are in hospital here. +

KITE BALLOON !
BREAKS Cables
At Fort OMAHA
Captive Bag On Trial Escapes
Moorings. and Goes Sailing .
SouthWard UnpiIoted
and Alone.
SCALE OF t1llE g --
RAILROADS

A half dozen officers, in automo-
biles, and a number Of speeding SOL
diers >on fast army motorcycles had
thrilling dash across Nebraska and
Iowa yesterday in pusuit of the run
away kite balloon which broke away
from its moorings at 9 o'clock in the
morning.
Tired of being hitched to the earth
the balloon slipped its cables, babe
the astonished soldiers "Ta-ta" and
hiked away to the northeast.
Quick as a fash Leo Stevens and
Captain Max Fleishman jumped into
a car on the field and tore madly after
the balloon. Captain Pagefow was
the next to follow and a dozen other
soldiers manned cars and automo-
biles in hot chase.
Follow Three Hours.
For three hours they followed the
balloon which was finally "pihched
near Silver City, Ia, after a sixty
mile joy-fight.
The balloon started north, but Leo
Stevens and Captain Fleishman
crossed the river and turned their
machine southwark, thinking it would
sail in an opposite direction when it
struck the higher air currents. This
is exactly what happened, but the bal
loon, as if possessing human instinct,
toyed and coquetted with its pursuers,
dipped and rose, coming near and
then rising. 1t was at an altitude of
about 5000 feet much of the time.
Gradually, as it grew hotter, the auto
matte valve opened and let gas escape.
Begins to Come Down.
Finally, when it got 10 miles be-
yond Silver City, Ia, it began to come
down near to the foremost automobile
in which Leo Stevens and Captain
Fleishman were riding. They man
aged to spring up and catch its ropes,
but the combined efforts of these two
and the driver could not hold down
the balloon. When it touched the
ground the immense cables dragged
and thus released their weight from
the bag. d.
~/Thereupon it shot up again, tearing
itself from the hands of the, men. 1t
now headed north again, being in the
lower current and the automobiles
turned back. Several times it was
caught, and broke away Finally,
when a mile from Silver City it came
low enough so Leo Stevens could
make a flying leap into the basket.
. Takes Big Chance.
He took chance Of being crushed
or thrown out--in the excitment of
the chase he hadn't brought his para
chute. He landed safely, however,
and was then able to bring the balloon
down by opening the valves,
A motor truck was sent for and the
now dropping balloon brought home
in disgrace. But it was great sport
while, it lasted, the balloon would
probably say. Readers of French
classics were reminded of the famous
runaway cannon on ship, described
by Victor Hugo, which likewise led its
captors chase. But it caused much
damage before caught, so there the
simile ends.

source whatever, to justify the i'm
preston created by, the Washington
Post today principally by the head
line, Russia Quits War, that Russia
is out of the conflict.
"A reading of the full interview
with Premier Kerensky, of which the
paper published only an abbreviated
and preliminary account iself, shows
that the headline is entirely unwar-
ranted. Our own advices show that
the provisional government in Petro-
grad is attacking with great energy
the problems confronting it.
Reports received from Petfograd

Italian brigades still holding out on
the eastern bank of the river were
compelled by our attacks to retire or
were taken prisoner.

The battle of the Tagliamento has
been begun by the artillery.
Guns of the Austro- German invade
ers OF northern Italy have opened fire
from the casterly side of the river
upon General Cadorna's positions ON
the westerly bank, to which the Ital-
ian armies have effected retreat dur.
ing the ten days that have elapsed
since their Isonzo front was broken.
Cadorna's artillery is replying.
Rome announces today, and the

Apparently the Teutonic attempt to
force crossing of the stream is moi
to be long delayed. The Italian
statement announces the advance of

enemy positions of the river bank.
They were met by Italian machinS
gunfire and repulsed.
May Be Merely Delay. ~
Uncertainty exists, however, as to
whether the Italian high command
has planned definite stand on the
Tagliamento line or if merely a de-
laying action is intended to afford
time for the preparation Of stronger
line at the Livenza, 10 to Is miles
further west, or at the Piave, approx.
imately Is miles from the Tagfias
mento. The next day or two seems
likely to resolve this doubt.
