MANHATTAN Mines DEVELOPING
AND OPENING RICH OREBOD|ES
(FrOm Manhattan Chamber of Mines)

with piston drills for the shaft
miners, as the jackhammer steel will
not stand.
The east drift on the 300-foot
level has been advanced a distance
of Is feet during the week, through
oxidized and marbleized limestone,
and this identical characteristic is
observed in the wake of the ore
bodies both east and west from the
shaft Such being the case and also
taking into consideration the sud-
den flow of water under pressure,
encountered in the advancing of the
east drift, similar flows having been
developed before entering the ore, it
seems almost a certainty that an
important new orebody will shortly
be developed.
The footage made in the west
drift from the 800, has been about
the same as in the east with no
material change in the face of the
drift The water flow in the mine
workings has decreased to some
extent during the week, and is
easily handled by the various pumps
installed. 1t is estimated that the
total flow amounts to 115 gallons
per minute. In the mill construc-
tion seven hearths in the roaster
have been completed and the last

CRACKER JACK
IN FAULT VEIN
GOOD ASSAYS OBTAINED ON
DEEPEST LEVEL IN BIG
FAULT ZONE

An interesting point has been
reached in the development work
of the Reorganized Cracker Jack
Mining company and results to
which the management has look
ed forward for many months now
seem to be nearing realization.
The east cross-cut on the 800
foot level, which penetrated the
main Columbia Mountain fault vein
about a week ago, continues in the
faulted zone and shows a greatly
crushed formation, containing
quartz and kaolin and yielding as
says from Sc to over $S per ton
in gold.
No attempt has yet been made
to cross-cut or to divert the course
of the present work out of this
faulted zone, as the present work
serves to determine the course of
the fault and it's influence upon
the vein at this point, while car
rying forward the original plan
to continue prosecuting the gen.
eral formation in order to demon
strate the position of the parallel
Rabbit Trail vein, which apparent
ly unites with the big fault vein
at a point somewhere near the
depth of this cross-cut.
The results already obtained in
this work are regarded as highly
encouraging, although no bodies of
shipping ore have yet been ex-
posed. This was not to be expect
ed so soon, however, and the work
of the next fortnight may bring
forth something of the first i'm
portance in this ground. AS soon
as the objects are attained for
which this cross-cut has been
driven-the location of the east
vein and the determination of the
relationship of the two veins at
depth, drifts and raises will be
driven to explore for deposits of
commercial ore and from the con-
ditions found at the 12O-foot level,
the management has every conf
dence that such deposits will be
found at this depth.

After a quick trip to Manhattan,
where he went to oversee the last
stages of construction at the roast
er and mill plant of the White
Caps Mining company, John e. klr-
chen, general manager, informed the
representative of The Miner that all
conditions were favorable for the
starting of ore-crushing on July
10th.
Since numerous tests have proven
successful in the handling and treat
ment of the refractory ore that has
been found in the White Caps,
slow roast proving efficacious in
putting the values into condition
for cyaniding, the actual start of
mill operations will be the cause
of intense interest on the part Oh
the mining public and there will no
doubt be a big crowd on hand
when operations are started at the
crusher, roaster and milling plants.
The shaft sinking at the White
Caps has progressed steadily during
the past week. The bottom or the
shaft is now 120 feet below the
fourth level. One more set OF tim
bers will be installed and then the
fifth station set goes in. The ground
has proven so hard in the sinking
that a change in drills has been
made, replacing the jackhammers

KEWANAS DEPOSIT
PROVING BIG
IN SIZE
NINE Is BEING OPENED WITH
VIEW TO HEAVY PRO-
DUCTION

With ore of shipping grade ex-
posed in both the northern and
southern parts of the property, at
points over 1000 feet apart. the Re-
organized Kewanas company has
more favorable outlook than at any
time since operations were started
on it's ground, and the most COM
plete assurance is afforded that the
property will at no distant time take
rank with the foremost gold produc-
ers of southern Nevada. The ore
body opened some time ago in the
shale contact zone now appears to
be of great magnitude and of uni
formly good value.
Stopping has been in progress from
the south drift on the 940-foOt lev
ell, in the northeastern part of the
property, but at present the eX-
traction of ore is not permitted tc
interfere with the development work
planned by Manager Darcy and
which Is designed to explore in a
most thorough manner the shale
contact zone over a wide area in this
part of the mine.
The best part of this big deposit
yet opened, by the raise from the
east crosscut is not being touched
at present, as it can be reached to
better advantage by raising from
the south drift, following the incline
of the shale, or by a series of short
raises driven from this level. and it
is desired to extend the develop
ment work along present lines to
more thoroughly block out the ore
and to mine the entire mass in an
economical manner, rather than to
extract only the richer parts of the
orebody. The ore broken in the
stope is of excellent shipping grade
and there is assurance of substan-
tial output from this part of the
mine.
In the southern part of the Ke-
wanas property high grade ore has
been exposed in the strip of ground
under lease to the Jumbo Junior
company yand near the hanging wall
side of the great main vein. This
part of the property will be explored
by the Kewanas company and the
south drift will be extended to con-
meet with the workings of the Jum-
bo Junior, thus affording better ven
tilation for both companies.

JUMBO JUNIOR
ORE IMPROVING
GOOD SHOWING IN GROUND
NOW BEING WORKED
UNDER LEASE

steady Improvement is report
ed in the results of work of the
Jumbo Junior company, in terri
tory leased from the Reorganized
kewanas company and adjoining
the Juniors ground on the north.
Specimens of high-grade ore have
been exhibited from the new work
ings that are identical in appear
ance and character with the high
grade material mined in the big
shale contact deposit in the Vel
vet claim of the Jumbo Extension.
adjoining the Junior on the west.
The main north drift of the
Jumbo Junior is being extended
to reach the northern boundary of
the leased area, at a depth OF $50
feet, where connection will be
made later with the workings of
the Kewanas company, affording
better ventilation and facilitating
the work of both companies in
this territory.
Throughout the length of the
Juniors drift pay ore has been ex-
posed, varying in width from a
few inches to three feet, and for
a considerable distance the ore
has been of sufficient width to
render extraction profitable. No
shipments are being made at pre-
sent, as it is desired to complete
the drift to the boundary line be-
fore beginning any stopping oper-
ations here.

handle in the progress of this
work. In the southern part of
the Kewanas property high-grade
ore has been exposed by work of
the Jumbo Junior company, leasing
a strip of Kewanas ground, and
the Kewanas workings will be ex-
tended to this territory to explore
the vein here.
Atlanta Mines Co.
Shipments continue without in
terruption from the Atlanta mine,
the product being of excellent aver
age grade and yielding a satisfac-
tory profit above operating expen-
ses. The development work on
the 175O-foot level has continued
to place in sight a product of
shipping grade, while above this
level, on the two main levels and
several Intermediates, ore of ex-
cellent character and quality for
treatment by flotation has been
exposed in great volume and will
ultimately yield large revenues,
when arrangements are completed
for treating this product in the
flotation plant of the Consolidated
Mines company.
Jumbo Extension
Satisfactory reports continue to
come from the Copper Mountain
property, which is being operated
under option by the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining company. Three shafts
are being worked on the property
and regular shipments are COM
ing from the No. / shaft, the pro-
duct being hauled to Nolan sta
ton, on the Southern Pacific rail-
road, by means of motor trucks
Workings from this shaft are open
ing a large tonnage of shipping ore
in the extension of the same con-
tact zone from which the Miller
La Patte lease has produced up
wards of 100000 worth of high
grade ore. The No. shaft, with
the aid of the excellent hosting
and compressor plant installed
some time ago, is being sunk rapid
ly to explore at depth two of the
main contact zones that traverse
the property, and the No. 3 shaft,
started early in June, is making
rapid progress. Development work
continues on the local property

NEW SHOES WON'T
 HURT AFTER THIS
CINCINNATI MAN TELLS HOW TO SHRIVEL UP CORNS so
 THEY LIFT OUT

Ouch i?, This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in town if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn stops soreness at once. and soon the corn dries up and lifts right out without pain.
 He says freezone Is 3. sticky sub stance which dries immediately and never infiames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skin. A quar- ter of an ounce, which will cost very little at any drug store, is said to be sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or calIus from ones feet. Mill ions of American women will welcome this announcement since the inausu- ration of the high heels.

GUT HAY EARLY.
Higher Feeding Value if Cut Before
 Maturity.

l This year, with the late, wet spring, grass will grow very rapidly, as soon i as warm weather comes, and while having may be a little la te this season 1t is sure to come before the cultivating is finished. With the very high prices of all feedstuffs every farmer must this year plan to get as good quality home grown feed as possible. Early instead of late cut hay is one way of increasing the quality of next winters feed.
 All hay, especially timothy has a higher feeding value if cut before ma turity- For dairy cows this is a point worth considering. If timothy hay must be used for dairy cattle, cut it in full bloom or even a trif1e before Never wait until the heads have ripen- ed and turned brown. Mature hay is less palatable. less nuytrItious and too woody
 On many farms having is never fin ished before the middle of August. This Is too late, the grass is dry and brown before it is cut. Such hay is of very poor quality, no matter whether tirno- thy. redtop or mixed grasses.
 Weather fs a great factor in hay making. but many fields are left too long because having was started too late. As rule the weather is more favorable from June 20th to July 2Oth than in August. and hay cut early is best not only because better cured but because it is more palatabIe and more nutritious.
 Clover. orchard grass and Kentucky blue grass are the first to cut Late cut orchard grass is little better than straw. and no second growth Is made cut it early, Timothy and redtop ma ture a little later but never ought to be left until the heads have gone to seed. For market hay timothy yields a little more if cut just after bloom ing, but for home consumption the higher feeding value of early cut tim 1% I yield Cut 1t early for the cows!

Depart tnent of Agriculture. In view of the present and prospective high prices of soy beans for food and ma n- ufacturing purposes. there is no like lihood of production this year. The soy bean also is a. soil improVer and the straw is valuable for feeding purposes.
 As a seed crop the soy bean should be planted about June l in the North. However. in the southern part of the Central States planting may be made as late as June 15. Where clover or grass has winterkilled, the soy bean may be planted to good advantage.
 Varieties with yellow seeds are pre- ferred by food manufa ctureTs. The Ito San is the earliest maturing yellow va riety available and Yteldes well in Wisconsin, Michigan. northern Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. and Connecticut. In the central and north II ern parts of the Northern States the Medium Yellow Mongol. and Mikado are more desirable sorts. Considcra bic quantities of seed of these seed are still available for planting.
 Northern farmers should be par ticularIy careful not to plant the Nam moth variety, of which much is needed in the market in the North. This va riety. also known as Late Yellow. Southern Yellow, and Virginia Yellow will not mature north of the Potorna c and Ohio Rivers.

The results of this ex- pertinent indicate that Leghorns can be fed for hree-fourths of the cost of general purpose fowls, and that at present prices the difference in profit Of eggs on a food cost for the Leg horns is 68 cents the first year, S1.5e the second year and S1.4S the third year.
 The average Leghorn weighs 1-2 pounds when sold alive for market, which at present prices Is s1 cents. The average weight of general pur- pose fowls is six pounds making it worth $50. The difference in the value of the carcass at the end of the first year is therefore 69 cents in fla Vor the general purpose breeds.
