WORK EXPEDITED
BY AIR MACHINES
SPANISH BELT COMPANY'S TUN-
MEL Is BEING DRIVEN
RAPIDLY

AS an evidence of the progress
thai can be and will be made, where
the conditions are favorable for
speed making, at the Consolidated
Spanish Belt Mining company's prop
erty. at what was formerly known
as Barcelona, in Nye county, Nevada,
the machine drills have put the tun-
mel in $50 feet from the portal. reg
istering a much better advance dur
ing the past week than has been
shown since the work was started.
The extra footage vas attained in
spite of the fact that several soft
spots were encountered during the
week in the granite formation,
which necessitated additional tim
bering: and provided that no more
difficulties are met with, the ma
chine drills should record a steadily
increasing advance in the tunnel.
Everything is running smoothly,
according to Superintendent Pixies
report, on his return during the lat
ter part of the week, from the mine.
To insure uninterrupted progress. he
has sent out from Tonopah another
big load of general mining supplies
including timbers, fuel, oil, ETC..
The work at the Consolidated
Spanish belt is but one illustration
of the revival of interest IN
mining in Nevada, and part1c-
ularly at old camps, which were fore
ed to shut down in the 70's when it
became impossible to mine for silver
owing to the decline in the price of
the metal, the great cost of rams
porting supplies by horse or OK
teams, and the expense of hauling
the ore to transportation points,
which at that time were hundreds
of miles away from railroads. The
perfecting of mining, milling and re-
filming processes, however, have u
down the cost of hauling ore, and
now tht silver is or its way back to
it's former high estate it is practically
certain that most of the camps that
were famous in the early days VIII
be revived and add considerably to
their production records.-Tonopah

Valley of Humboldt Is Rich

Characterizing the LovelOck val
ley as richer than the valley of the
Nile, DR.. Samuel Fortier. who is in
charge of the federal bureau of ir-
rigation investigation, recently COM
pleted an inspection of the region
surrounding Lovelock and his re-
port may meal government aid in
throwing open to cultivation many
thousands of acres of rich and un-
cultivated land. With DR.. Fortier
were F. l.. Bixby and R. A. Allen,
his assistants, and State Engineer
]. G. Scrugham. The party is en-
gagged in making a survey of the
Humboldt river valley to determine
the efficacy of drainage and re-
clamation projects and to determine
the ACCESSIBILITY of channeling parts
of the river as a preventive of the
present great waste of water due to
evaporation.

Jarhidge Wants Road

Jarbidge people contend that if a
road is built down the Jarbidge can
yon and up the Bruna river to
Charleston and from there to the
road to Deeth it will furnish practi-
cally a ~year-round route. By a con-
servative estimate of an official of
the Long Hike mine more than $35,-
600 in freight will be hauled over
the present route from Deeth before
next winter. If the new road is built
It is estimated there will be at least
100000 worth of freight to enter
Jarbidge over it each year.

FLOATING Drydocks.

Our largest floating dock is the Dew
at the Olongapo naval station, In the
Philippine Islands. Floating drydocks
are so arranged as to lift a big battle
ship bodily from the water. When 1t
is desired to dock a vessel the floating
dock is sunk by admitting water to H.
and the ship Is fioated over 1t. When
the ship is In the proper place over the
dock the water is pumped out. and it
rises, lifting the ship with 1t. When
it is desired to refoat the ship the
dock is sunk again by admitting water.
and the ship Is hauled off. There are
side walls to the dock which remain
partly above water. In these are To-
Gated the pumping machinery. and on
them the docking gangs work. The
Dewey is In three sections. of when
the two small end sections lift the
large central section and are them
selves lifted by it.

now on.
The installation of this new mill
by the New Pass company means a
great deal for that section as there
are other good properties in that To-
cality, owned by ~prospectors, hal

KIDS MAY JOIN
THE RED CROSS
JUNIOR ORGANIZATION Is En-
PECTED TO RENDER VAIL
UABLE AID

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. A.
Henry P. Dawson, chairman of the
Red Cross war council, announces
the launching of a Junior Red Cross
open to all school children in the
country. The new organization
hopes to become a channel for pat
riotic service and interest to the
100000 boys and girls of school
age in the United States.
Membership in the Junior Red
Cross is to be by schools. When
ever there has been placed in the
local school fund an amount equal
to 25 cents for every pupil. the
school becomes a school auxiliary
of the Red Cross, and is entitled
to display a special Red Cross ban
ner. At the anne time every pupil
becomes a junior member and is en-
titled to wear the membership but
ton.
The school fund can be raised by
the school, or collected by subscrip-
ton. In some states it will be rails
ed by cities to v all schools in
the city districts. In other states
the campaign will be for a state
wide fund and the enrolment of
all the pupils in the state. In every
case, however, the schools are to
be associated with the local chap
tiers of the Red Cross through a
100 nHorc, oor,rnftton nf tho nhantar
The school fund will be used for
the purchase of materials which the
children will make up into Red
Cross supplies, and for other uses
in which the children will have a
personal share. No part of 1t is to
go for chapter or general expenses.
Membership in the Junior Red
Cross will be developed by states.
Division managers will appoint
membership committees and school
activities committees for each state.
The membership committee stimu-
lates interest and raises funds for
the school supply fund. l. will be
composed of some of the most in
fluential people devoted to cduca-
tional affairs.
The school ACTIVITIES committee
will be made up of vocational teach
ers and other school officials. I'm
der it's direction patterns OF articles
to be made, and other instructions
for use in the vocational classrooms,
will be prepared and sent to I'll the
schools.
The plan has been developed by
President MacCracken of Vassar, in
consultation with school authorities
and the National Red Cross. DR..
MacCracken said today:
81 believe in the Junior Red
Cross, not only because Of the great
sums of money it will earn and the
immense amount of supplies which
the school pupils, especially in our
technical schools will make. bot be-
cause of it's educational and pat
riotic value for the children

Mines MAINTAINING
GOOD RESULTS IN DEEP WORK

A representative of the Chronicle
was shown through the Jacket Sur-
face Tunnel workings yesterday of
the Jacket-Crown P~oint-Belcher
Mines Co., in Gold Hill by the cour-
tesy of superintendent VIM. P. Mil
Ter, and the large amount of de-
velopment recently accomplished al
this point of the company's property
proved to be a decided revelation.
The surface tunnel, from a point
ear the collar of the Jacket shaft
has been opened back to the west
vein, continuing nearly to the north
boundary line of the mine. BY
means of six cross-cuts at different
point, and stOpe openings, a vast
are of milling grade ore has been
opened up on the vein, varying from
80 to 100 feet in width, and pro-
badly averaging close to 40 feet.
The work done through this tun-
mel in the early days was evidently
confined mostly to the higher grade
seams, for some of the old fill taken
out assays as high as SIP to the ton.
But a big block of ground was left
which contains a very extensive ton
mage of ore hat test runs have now
demonstrated can be mined and
milled at good profit. Develops
ment work done between the tun-
mel and the surface shows a con-
tinuation of the ledge, which gives
backs of yer one hundred feet, and
the plan now is to glory hole the
ore.
The vein has been found to con-
tain two characters of ore, one be-
ing of free gold located to the north
which is now being extracted. and
the other, largely of manganese sill
yer content, located to south, which
it has been impossible to treat sue
cessfully by the milling process for
merly available. There is an i'm
mense tonnage of this class of ore
available, for 1t has been found to
extend not only to the surface, but
on the $50 level, which is fairly

cation that this vein continues to
that depth and probably further.
This manganese-silver ore has
been found impossible of success
full working by amalgamation and
concentrating and alterations are
cyanide process that test runs have
proved to be mos practicable in
handling this kind or class OF ore.
The ore from the rock breaker is
sent through a Hardinge steel ball
mill, which grinds the solution to

six large Pachuca agitation tanks,
Dorr thickener and Oliver filter to
bullion precipitation. The process is
continuous, and the pulp is handled
by means of air lifts, the daily ca
pacity being about 1875 tons for the
unit now being installed.
The process for treating the free
gold has been retained which in
cludes amalgamation, Deister con-
centration tables and cyanide plant
for handling of concentrates. The
full capacity of this process is $50
tons per day. The ball mill is now
operating and several thousand tons
of gold rock is now on hand at the
mill gloryhole awaiting treatment,
and is now being put through. The
new cyanide equipment is being put
in place as rapidly as possible. and

WOMEN WORKING
NEAR TO FRONT
SUFFER LITTLE DISCOMFORT IN
QUARTERS NEAR FIGHT ,
ING LINES

HEADQUARTERS OF WOMEN'S
AUXILIARY CORPS behind Brit
ish Lines in France), Aug. 8. = Wo-
mems labor as a part of the British
army in France has now passed
through it's trial stage and won the
approval of the army authorities.
In response to a question, How
do the young women themselves like
active service?" the ensor at wo-
mems headquarters have permitted
the Associated Press correspondent
to take extracts from a number of
homeward-bound letters written by
women now serving in France.
One girl writes to her brother:
I'VE are billetted in empty villages
and everything is lone for our COM
fort. Army blankets and no sheets
seemed a little peculiar at first, but
all idea of sheets has now vanished
fro our minds and we are develop
ing an affection for these warm
army blankets as a covering. The
restrictions are not at all formid-
able; in fact, we are allowed more
liberty than l personally expected,
which is saying a great deal. Army
rations may be a little rougher than
the food we have been used to, but
the quality and quantity is good, and
hunger is the best of sauces. The
work is interesting"
Here's a girls account of her
daily routine: we have breakfast
at 1880 and parade at S:15. We
march down to the offices and COM
mence work at 8. We leave again
at 1:45 and finish at 5 for the day.
We are the nearest camp to the line,
and the work at this base is there
fore very important. We are free to
go out from 5 until 9 o'clock roll
call. This gives us a delightfully."-
long evening"
The free time is we'll employed, as
one girl writes: I'VE went out on
Sunday and tried our French, which
to our great surprise was understood
by the Frenchwomen. We are 10y
studying hard at it, and are also get
ting up a shorthand speed class. The
army is developing us already"
A girl working in a cost village
writes: I'VE are in the midst of
beautiful scenery and the most glor-
ious stretch of sea. With such ad-
vantages we feel we are absolutely
in clover, because we had expected a
lot of hardships, and instead we have
only inconvenience. Our life in bill
lets is of course very crude, and wq2
have dispensed with such luxuriesN
as table cloths. but we have delicious
white bread and white sugar. We
get a lot of bully beef, and l haven't
yet risked my teeth on the army
biscuits.
1--WE are telegraph operators or
night duty. We have a bathing pa.
rade at = every morning. 1t sounds
like a summer holiday, hut it is not
all pleasure. and my advice to slris
who think of coming over here is
Don't come out expecting a picnic,
because you won't get it, Wien
ever we feel inclined to grumble at
certain things we thin. Of the men
in the trenches, and We feel that our
grievances sink into insignificancs
by the side of the sacrifices they
are making"

Winnemucca Short Water

The Winnemucca water and light
company is in trouble because a
75-h. p. motor that operates the
pump supplying water to the town
is out of commission. A gasoline
engine is being used, but it is in
adequate to furnish enough water.
During parts of each day it is neces>
sary to cut off the supply from side
streets. A new motor has been or
dered from San Francisco. but the
manufacturers are unable to make
delivery.

Exploration and development
work is being rapidly advanced in
the deep levels at the northend
mines this week, and the general
situation is one that augurs we'll for
ore development of Importance
in the les future. Con. irginia is
removing the air lift from the
north compartment OF the east
winze, which is preliminary to plac-
ing this winze in commission for
operations on the 200 and $500
levels, where cross-cuts are to be
extended to the Comstock and east
lodges. An advance of the south
west drift on the 200 level ex-
poses anne strong vein, and carry
ing porphyry and quartz, the latter
sampling about as last week.
The Union Con. is driving for
ward the exploration drifts on the
$500 and 2400 levels and the Wine
in the ore below the 200 level,
and favorable conditions prevail on
all three levels, with little variance
from the official reports Of Satur-
day last. At the 2500-3900 Wine,
the compartments ire in good shape
to the 1900, and pump installed at
the 1900 so that it will soon be
possible to take up work on this
level.
The Mexican 1900 west cross-cut
shows porphyry and stringers of
quartz, and Sierra Nevada on the
$500 and 27OO levels continues
about as last week, with a very
favorable territory being opened up.
The Ophir is working to the
south on the 1000 level. and on
the 200 in the Hardy vein locality
is preparing to raise at two points
on the vein. Andes is mining and
milling ore from the 350-foot level
stope.

of Golconda, states that on the
night of Aug. 23 a meteorite fell
within 200 feet of his camp. He
says it made a brilliant light. He
went to the spot when it fell and
found one large piece and two.
fragments. They were red hot.

but commercial, ores at the surface
tunnel is the high price now quoted
for silver, and the outlook that the
white metal will continue to be in
great demand for many years to

this development that has been
made by this company. The Jacket

a successful outcome of their pre-

repair work is also being continued

The fact that there are now ex-
cellent prospects for profitable min
