about $5OO,000 in silver and has lain dormant since 1886.
 The ores taken from this property were packed a distance of 22 miles to mill and the concentrates from the mill hauled to Yuma, thence by water to the Selby smelter at San Francisco.
 At that time the concentrates were not very acceptable to the smelter be- cause of their, zinc content. which was around F per cent. Zine is not feared by the smelters now, so the coneen- trates will not be penalizied
 A mill will be built on Humbug creek near the mine as soon as the ore bodies are developed. The con- centrates will be shipped from Crown King.
 Tn lowest grade ore which was pro- duced at profit in the early days was a 200 ounce silver ore. With the ad- vance in milling and the railroads so close, very low grade ore may now be miiled at a profit.
 A 500 foot drift tunnel is now being driven to tap the ore body at q lower level This tunnel was started in the early days but never pushed to com pietion.

If you are scientist if you are a lab

there is important work ahead of you.
Great national councils are trying to
find out Just what branch of this serv-

ment work. AS soon as the scientific
leaders of the nation and the officials
of the War Department have deter
mined what developments of science the
war in Europe has evoked and where
the development work of this country
should begin, you will be called into
action.
The scientific skill of the country has
already been modified by the national
research council.
The council of national defense and
the national research council. which are
cooperating for efficient defense by
the United States government, are eN-
pecting great things from the mission
of a group Of scientists who have been
sent to England and France to find
out what the British and French have
learned in a scientific way by war ex-
periences-so that this country can con :
tinue the work from there on. without
the needless delay Of learning the les
