NORTHERN LIGHT MINE
HAS A CAVE 100
FEET DEEP

The cave which was discovered in
the Northern Light mine last week,
proved to be quite an extensive hol-
low in the earth Duncan Mckenzie
the principal owner of the mine, went
out to look at the cave, and says it
is about 100 feet in depth, and very
irregular as to shape. In the widest
place it is about twenty feet high.
and narrows down to about two feet
at the bottom. AS the workings in
the mine have not yet gained much
depth, this cave has served to show
that the ore body, which is very rich
goes at least hundred feet deeper
than had been demonstrated, and is
therefore appreciated by the owners
OF the mine. Several shipments Of
ore have recently been made from the
Northern Light, the last of which
gave returns of a fraction over II
per cent in copper. This new cave
which has developed the mine just
so much more, gives the owners that
rich feeling peculiar to miners who
have good thing and know it.

A telephone message to the Times
from Carson yesterday stated that
the trains on the Virginia and Truckee
road are all tied up as result Of the
big storm. No train came over from
Reno, as all the engines belonging
to the company except one were in
a snow bank between Mound House
and Virginia The Southern Pacific
sent over train the the capital, but
it returned to Reno without making
any attempt to go thorugh to the Com
stock. The storm, while very disa-
greeable in this valley, has done no
damage so far as heard from. In
fact, from outside reports, we have
been more than fortunate, as the snow
was needed for next summers water
supply On the Sierra Nevadas IA
snow slide has delayed all trains.

Turns Against The Kaiser

A St. Louis dispatch says: The
Westliche Post. leading German
language newspaper In an editorial
says, that the recent revelations OF
the state department as to German
plots against the United States can
not be doubted and that German
Americans now are compelled to be-
lieve things they hitherto have been
unwilling to accept.
Belief in Bernstorff, the editorial
says, 10 shattered like house Of
cards."
Zone is turned into . skeptic," it
continues, land becomes distrustful
Of himself, when he must cast into
the discard so much that he has con-
fldently believed and must accept as
fact 30 much that he has considered
impossible.
1.-THE burden of the German
American grows even heavier" says
the editorial. 1.-The old home land
which is loved with an almost fana-
ticsl attachment he himself has
abandoned and 1t can never again be
his home land; but in the new home,
which he thought he had won by
loyalty and diligence, he is looked At
askance, and with suspicion because
Of tho old country's sins. This 10 .
tragedy to which only heartless
person can be Indifferent"
The editorial adds that tho loyalty
to the United States will continue
though the cherished hope that after
the war old relations might be again
friendly now has vanished.
