How Deaf Mutes Feel Music.

Deaf mutes love music. 1t thrills
them. They feel it, says the Popular
Science Monthly, by placing their
hands and elbows on a piano while the
teacher plays it. The vibrations not
only give sensations which enliven the
body, but they actually stimulate them.
The parts most sensitive to vibrations
are the chest, head, lungs and feet.
IAN exciting feeling comes up through
the floor" is the way II deaf boy
describes it. "Without music | would
be lonesome" wrote a little Italian
deaf mute. 1T gives me a strong
shock through the feet to the head,
stated another. Others when asked to
explain their sensations said. Il feel
1t in my temples and in my legs Il
feel it through my whole body and
Il feel it in my chest and lungs
According to teachers of deaf mutes,
musical instruction is more important
as an educational factor for the deaf
child than it is for the hearing.

BRITISH GIRLS TO
MARRY AMERICANS
PAPER SAYS AUSTRALIANS ARE
MORE LIKELY TO WED
THEM

LIVERPOOL, July 1.-Speculat-
ing editorially on whether the men
of the American army will marry
English wives to any appreciable
extent, the Liverpool Post says:
will American men marry
here? We wonder if the coming
of the American army will have
any effect upon the matrimonial
prospects Of our girls. For some
reason, the men of the New World
have hitherto never shown any
great eagerness to take brides from
the Old, and even the theory that
this is because it has not been
the way of the American man to
cross the Atlantic, though it is
consoling to our national vanity,
does not work. For it is noticeable
that the Canadians, who have
abounded in our midst during the
past three years, are not nearly as
fond OF marrying into this
ians.
Few of the young men from
Australia seem to want to return
home without an English bride, but
the Canadians either are married
when they come or show a disposi-
ton to remain single.
"Still, there is no need for the
girls to dispair yet, and if some of
them do not spend their lives as
m%atrons in the United States we
shall be surprised. Certainly it
will not be their fault, as they
show a most amiable desire to like
any Of the American naval and
military and medical men they
have seen, although in some ways
the fellow citizens of President
Wilson are so ~curiously unlike our
own men"

MANGANESE URE

TIONS'S NEEDS

called attention to the response of
the miners of manganese to the
country's need.
Modern steel-making demands
manganese" said Secretary Lane.
land the shortage of a domestic SUD
ply of this ore has been a matter
of concern to those of us who wish
America to be industrially indie
pendent. But now the war requi, G.
ments for steel have been realized
by the manganese operators, for re-
ports already receive: in the de-
partment of the interior show that
shipments of high-grade manganese
during the past six months aggre-
gate 2S,345 tons, or nearly 10 per
cent mor than the tonnage for the
whole II months of 1915, which
amount in turn was three times
the 1915 shipment.
Shipments are reported from 10
states, but in Montana alone the
shipments since last January large
ly exceed the shipments for the
whole United States in 1915.
THE manganese situation there
fore is most encouraging and the
United States geological survey es-
innate for the whole year is 10000
tons of the high-grade ore. This.
however, is less than 20 per cent of
the present large demand of the
steel industry. Yet, it is significant
that the shipments of lower grade
manganese ore likewise are record
breaking, the six months of 1917
considerably exceeding the II
months of 1916, and the present
rate of production promises an
even larger tonnage for the remain
ing six months.
This gratifying activity in the
mining of so essential an ore seems
to be largely the result of better fl
nancing and better engineering of
the industry, which in turn is simply
another expression of how America
is meeting the present crisis in
American fashion,"

COMO CON-. MILL
NOW OPERATING
GUERNEY GORDON AND ASSO-
GATES TAKE OVER LEASE
ON GROUND

Officials of the Como CONSOLE
dated Mines company yesterday re-
turned from a trip of inspection to
the mine and mill at Como.
All expressed themselves as we'll
pleased with the results of recent
developments and were particularly
enthusiastic i've the showing on
the Elkins' lease on the Buckeye
claim, this lease and bond having
just been purchased by the COM
pany.
Several samples of high grade
shipping ore were brought in which
when PANIED, threw a string of
course gold entirely around the
pan. A boulder of ore weighing
125 pounds, showing the character
of ore now being treated at the
company's mill was brought in
from the head-bins and left at the
office of Smith & Amann.
Negotiations for the purchase
of this lease have been under way
for some time and the final details
were arranged Saturday. A hand
some figure was involved in the
deal including the transfer of a
block of the treasury stock of the
Como Con. Mines company.
In speaking of the addition of
this valuable asset to the COM
pany's other holding, President
Gordon said: "Our 1OO-ton mill
has been running continuously for
several weeks treating the ore
from this lease which is worked
through our main shaft. The ore
shoot was first encountered in a
cross-cut from our main workings
on the 115-foot level. Drifts from
this cross-cut were driven in both
directions on the vein exposing the
oreshoot for a distance of 125 feet
with ore still showing in both
faces.
mo stopping has been done on
the vein but the drifts indicate
an average width of five feet with
the gold, silver and copper values
about equally divided. We feel
that we can safely figure that we
have enough ore in sight to keep
the mill running for some time

MANHATTAN CON.
HAS NEW HEAD
JOHN MILLER ASSUMES PRESI-
DENCY OF NOW PROSPER
Gus COMPANY

The Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company has had a change in
the official head through the sue
cession of John H. Miller to the
presidency in place of w. ]. Doug
lass. The change was effected at a
meeting of directors July 3, as it
was the desire of Mr.. Douglass to
have the affairs of the company
placed in the hands of some one
who could give them closer atten-
ton than he.
The physical condition of the prop,
erty is most gratifying. An aver
g sample of the black manganese
ore which is i~nterspersed through the
footwall drift for the entire dis
lance, and in places showing from
three to four feet of solid stuff ran
at the rate of 1924 per ton.
A cold-blooded sample of the or
iginal cross-cut taken close to the
mud dixie and before any high-grade
ore was encountered at all. to avoid
getting any free stuff into the sam
pie, and therefore taken from over
head, gave for the first nine feet
a return of $75.45 per ton. The sec
ond sample, taken from 10 feet con-
tiguous to the hanging wall. ran $40
per ton, which is, in fact, 10 feet of
ore of an average of $42.70, all ex-
elusive of the high grades. An av-
erage sample of the entire face of
the drift OF the hanging wall taken

with the fine black manganese ex-
cluded, gave s370 per ton. The
same drift a day or two previously
interspersed with black manganese.
gave across the entire five feet 1884.
The drift in the orebody proper
has been cross-cut 2S feet and the
drift is now being run along the
footwall and is in 80 feet. This
drift will be continued somewhat
further. when the orebody will
again be cross-cut. At the same
time a cross-cut is being started
south from the station to cut II
develop what is known as the high
grade ore shoot in the oxidized zone.
1t is figured that approximately 81
feet will reach the orebody.
This particular shoot of ore is the
same from which several thousand
tons were milled at the time when
the company was operating the AS
sociated mill. This oresnoot has
produced most of the fancy speci-
mems which this mine has turne'
out. Assays taken Of the hard black
silicified quartz are especially graft
flying to the stockholders, showing
values evenly and uniformly dist
uted through the ore.---Tonop,

MINE
SEEMS BONANZA
HIGH-GRADE ORE is BROKEN
IN DEVELOPMENT WORK
NEAR SURFACE
The remarkable discovery of

The remarkable discovery of
high-grade at Paradise mountain
is maintaining values with depth
and the receiver, working in har-
mOny with the former rival claim
ants, is taking out ore at a rate
that promises to make all parties
concerned we'll satisfied with their
decision to operate Jointly rather
than fight out the dispute in the
court, says the Tonopah cores
pondence to the Denver Mining
Record.
Bernard Eastman, who is in
charge of the property as the chief
owner and the man who bought
the original claims, came into
Tonopah recently with results of
assays made in Goldfield that
demonstrate the phenomenal val
ues of the property.
Samples taken from a 15-inch
streak at a depth of nine feet
returned 324.60 ounces gold and
1916 ounces silver. representing
a value of ~$6,630.10. From the
vein that runs for a width of 10
feet right on the surface, returns
of .O4 ounces of gold, 1856 ounces
silver and 7.2 per cent lead, max
ing a value of $3.50.
Another sample ran .02 ounces
gold, 9.08 ounces silver, 81 per
cent copper, or a value of $42.O5
per ton, with the lead estimate at
eight cents per pound. Besides
these samples there is a fairly good
sized streak of black stuff resembl-
ing tellurium that will run as high
as $40 a pound.
Under the direction of Mr..
Eastman, two holes have been
sunk to a depth of 10 feet and he
plans to stay with the ore until he
lands in the big contact of monZO-
the bedding plane of values at a
depth of so feet. The ledge is
thanked on one side by a vein of
steel galena which carries 1914
ounces Of silver and 20 per cent
lead.
The wne expect that after
the property has been developed to
prove the existence of ore in suffi-
cient tonnage to warrant the con-
struction of a concentrating mill
that will reduce on the basis of
three tons to one. The water sup
ply is abundant for this purpose
and the supply of timber for min
ing purposes is ample for some
time to come.
Two tons of the rich ore have
been taken out and sacked and

Mayor Thompson issued a state
me concerning the action of the
city council In seeking to unseat
his school board and the talk of
impeachment. In it he said that
schools funds had been diverted
illegally and added:
do the records of the school
board tell tales that the old school
regime do not care to permit to be
made public? The idle talk of i'm
parchment of the mayor and the
ousting Of the new school board
members is a deception practiced

ing the winter of 1914 the company
lost heavily, but since then it has
been swept by a wave of prosperity.
One year ago Jones sold his quarter
