CLOSE NORTH SEA WITH NETS IS PLAN
 IF J. 3. WALKER

A recent number of the Scientific American contains the elaboration by J. Bernard Walker of the plan for blockading submarine bases by the use of steel nets. MT. Walker believes it practicable to stretch nets across the eastern entrance to the Channel and across the North sea from Scot land to Norway, thus penning the German submersibles within that area. Though a task so gigantic would cost in the neighborhood of 50 million dollars, the writer points out that the figure "is less than the total value of ships and cargo sunk by the sub marines in a single week of the pres ent campaign"
 Mir. Walker submits a drawing which clearly explains the general features of the scheme. The net itself consists of a vertical mesh anchored on both sides by mushroom anchors attached to steel cables. The top of the net is two hundred feet below the surface and the mesh, constructed from commercial 12-ineh steel rods, is ten feet, it's buoyancy assured by the use of buoyant, spherical contact bombs of a special type, containing twenty pounds of TINT, each. These bombs are fastened to the net at in- tervals of twenty feet over the sur face of the mesh, the net thus con- stituting bomb curtain.
 One mile inside the net and parallel to it stretches a continuous cable an- chored at intervals, allowing plenty of slack. To this cable are attacher mines calculated to destroy any large enemy vessels which might attempt to rush the net and cut it. In addition to this defense, MT. Walker plans a well or ganized patrol system of desrOyers, motor boats and airplanes. To supply the air and water craft great mother ships, consisting of converted tramp steamers are anchored along the line at intervals of fifty miles. Each has nets to protect it from torpedo attack, and masts and superstructure are cut away and replaced by a great plat form to provide a landing stage for the air craft.
 "A similar net" MT, Walker adds, "at Gibraltar and at the Straits of Otranto (the mouth of the Adriatic) would effectively block the submarine bases of Germany's allies"

TuCKAHOF ACTIVE

With the Tuckahoe down 150 feet and making three feet day, and the West Star opening up fast Tuesday morning with three shifts to begin sinking, activities around the Gold Flats west of Chloride have assumed the proportions of an industry.
 In the new Tuckahoe shaft the ledge has been passed and the shaft has reached the footwall. A station will be established within the next few feet and crosscut run to intercept the vein.
 The shaft is going down at the rate of about three feet day and the rock is breaking nicely.
 Three shifts will be at work soon on the West Star and sinking will be car ried on as rapidly as possible to get down 10 the vein level.
 This shaft and the crosscuts will in tercept an entirely different vein than the one in the Tuckahoe.

STEFFY MILL READY

With fifty tons of h;ghgrade ore from the Payroll and 100 tons from the dumps at the Minnesota Connor ready to run, and the 25O horsepower Olds engines in place, the Steffy Gus tom mill is ready to start work.
 Some pipe which has been delayed, is temporarily delaying the actual op- eration of the mill, but the tryout which the machinery was given last Monday fully sustained the reputation of F. E. Steffy for building mills, turning his back on them and not hay ing to do his work over again.
 The machinery in the new Steffy mill performed as though it had been working for months, and the imbering up will be given the plant with ore running through the cTushers- Not a bolt was found loose, not a wheel was missing, not a belt slipped, and not a hitch occurred.
 The new road leading around the hill to the bins has been completed. The Payroll has been hauling ore for the past week and expects to have fu!- ly hundred to a hundred and fifty tons ready in the bins to be run as soon as the mill is turning over.
 The pipe is expected to arrive any day and the connections will not take more than half a day to complete when the "juice" will be sent through the engines and the run will be on.
 That the mill is a success is now as sured, and that it will handle all the different character of ores in this dis trict is also certain.
 The laboratory and assay office will be placed in operation at the time the mill starts and the grind of the wheels will soon be echoing over the flats east of town.

Jump from Bed
 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning
 before breakfast.

Why Is man and woman, half She time, feeling nervous, despOpGel, worried; some days headachy, dull ac[ unstrung; some days really incap2>i- tated by illness.
 If we all would practice insiGe-5atl- ing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy checked people everywhere. The req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it Is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t, as a harm less means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and purifying the entire alimen- tary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 MflfODa nf DaOnIa rrrhn I,o 4-rr-, at constipation. bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, it's cleansing, sweetening and freshen- ing effect upon the system.

COPPER AGE PLANT

The ore bins at the Copper Age mill are full and running over with ore from the Copper Age mines on the hill above the plant. Work on the 1900 foot tunnel leading to the 1000 foot shaft up at the mine, through which the ore will be lowered and run direct to the bins where the rock will be re- layed to the crushers is progressing rapidly and will be pushed to the most rapid possible completion.
 The trestle-way is completed, tracks are laid, the machinery has been plac- ed in shape so that as soon as a couple of pulleys arrive from the east all will be in readiness for the big plant to start it's work.
 The east and west drifts in the Cop per Age mine are alongside ore for several hundred feet each, and the ore is blocked out ready to break down, but the fact that the bins are full and the storage room has all been eX- hausted makes it necessary to confine operations in the mine to extending the drifts alongside the ore body and blocking out more minerals to be broken down later. Thousands of tons of ore are blocked out at the present time and the mil will be operated to its utmost capacity as soon as it starts. It is believed the missing pull leys will be on the ground within the net three or four daysx when the wheels will turn.

The foods economies which Herbert c. Hoover of the food administration desires to suggest to the American people have been officially promulgat- ed.
 They constitute the cardinal princi- ples of the food campaign and are set forth in clear type on a small card in terms so definite and concise that all will know exactly what and how to save.
 This food administration card will soon hang in every American kitchen and its directions followed with scru- pulous care by the home makers of the land. Already the appeal has met with a generous response. The in formation is at hand that a million food pledges have already been signed.
 A reading of the card, which is printed in full below, shows that to follow its suggestions entails no real hardships. The rules are concise and simple. Less wheat, meat, milk, fats, sugar and fuel. More fruit, vegeta- bles, foods that are not suitable to be sent to camps or firing lines. No limiting the food of growing children: not eating by anyone of more food than is needed. Buying food that is grown close to the home.
 Is any of this too hard?

 SAVE THE WHEAT.-One wheat less meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread and non-wheat breakfast foods. Order bread twenty four hours in advance so your baker will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as re- quired. Use stale bread for cooking.

NEW MOHAWK

Making from three to four feet a day, inc No. 2 shaft on the New Mo- hawk property, now being sunk on the Puzzle Group, is rapidly approaching the point where a station will be es- tablished and a crosscut run few feet away to as fine a vein as exists m Chloride district.
 According to the survey of the vein the shaft should strike the vein at the 14O or 15O foot level.
 However, a third shift was put on Tuesday, and Manager Robertson has decided to go a few feet into the vein then drift with it in order to throw the drift into the ore and thus facili- tate removing the valuable minerals.
 It is estimated that masses of ore will have to be taken out at about the 200 foot level before it will be neces- sary to go deeper.

NEW TENNESSEE LOOKS GOOD

NEW TENNESSEE LOOKS GOOD
 The showing of ore at the 200 foot level of the New Tennessee mine con- tinues encouraging. The contact is an ideal one, being a granite schist and a pigmatite.
 The formation shows tale in heavy formation in a slip, and the vein which widened out to five feet from nothing still is strong.
 Appearances indicate that the shaft will have to level out somewhat in or der to follow the contact, and the char acter of ore is exactly that of the Ten nessee mine at the same depth.
 While it is not expected that the true body of ore will be found in its entirety until the shaft has been sunk deeper, yet the showing so near the surface makes the mine promise to be- come another Tennessee, which prop erty the New Tennessee adjoins.

toast, etc. Eat less cake and pastry.
 Our wheat harvest is far .belor normal. If each person weekly saves one pound of wheat flour that means 15O,OOO,1OO more bushels of wheat for the allies to mix in their bread. This will help them to save democracy.
 SAVE THE MEAT.-Beef, mutton or pork not more than once daily. Use freely vegetables and fish. At the meat meal serve smaller portions, and stews instead of steaks. Make made dishes of all left-overs. Do this and there will be meat enough for every one at a reasonable price.
 We are today killing the dairy cows and female calves as the result of high price. Therefore, eat less and eat no young meat. If we save an ounce of meat each day per person, we will have additional supply equal to D. 100000 cattle.
 SAVE THE MILK.-The children must have milk. Use every drop. Use buttermilk and sour milk for cooking and making cottage cheese. Use less cream.
 SAVE THE FATS.-We are the worlds greatest fat wasters. Fat is food. Butter is essential for the growth and health of children. Use butter on the table as usual but not in cooking. Other fats are as good. Reduce use of fried foods. Soap con tains fats. Do not waste it. Make your own washing soap at home out of the saved fats.
 Use one-third ounce less per day of animal fat and 375,OOO tons will be saved yearly.
 SAVE THE SUGAR. - Sugar is scarcer. We use today three times as much per person as our allies. So there may be enough for all at reason able price use less candy and sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar in putting up fruit and jams. They will save butter.
 SAVE THE FUEL. - Coal comes from a distance and our railways are overburdened hauling war material. Help relieve them by burning fewer fires. Use wood when you can get it.
 USE THE PERISHABLE FOODS. Fruits and vegetables we have in abundance. As a nation we eat too little green stuffs. Double their use and improve your health. Store pota- toes and other roots properly and they will keep. Begin now to can or dry all surplus garden products.
 USE LOCAL SUPPLIES.-Patron- ize your local producer. Distance. means money. Buy perishable food from the neighborhood nearest you and thus save transportation.
 General Rules.
 Buy less, serve smaller portions.
 Preach the Gospel of the Clean Plate"
 Don't eat a fourth meal.
 Don't limit the plain food of grow ing children.
 Watch out for the wastes in the community.
 Full garbage pails in America mean empty dinner pails in America and Europe.
 If the more fortunate of our people will avoid waste and eat no more than they need, the high cost of living problem of the less fortunate will be solved.

 Arrangements are being made to place machinery on the property and install jack drills. The shaft is be- ing timbered as its depth progresses and each day brings forth new en- couraging signs.
 The ore assays well and Tuesday lead was encountered. Gold running as high as three ounces is found as well as the silver, and the showing of lead Tuesday promises more gold con- tent.
 The management is expecting to run into galena any day now.

PERSHING CABLES CASUALTY
LIST OF ANTILLES
LOSSES.

Washington, Oct. 22.-General
Pershing today cabled the war depart
ment the complete casualty list in the
destruction of the homeward bound
army transport Antilles by German
submarine last Wednesday. He gave
no additional details of the disaster.
Sixty-seven men, including sixteen
soldiers went down with the ship
another unaccounted for and ITO were
rescued by the naval convoy. Many
of those killed were foreigners of the
transports engine and boiler room
forces and some of the missing sol.
diers also were of foreign birth.
General Pershing did not explain
why the soldiers were being sent
home.
