RED HILL SUES
RECEIVER CLAPP
DAMAGES CLAIMED FOR INJURY
TO DRIFT IN LEASED
GROUND

The Red Hill Florence Mining
company, through its attorney Ben
jamin ]. Henley, has filed suit In
the district court against H. B.
Clapp, receiver for the Florence
Goldfield Mining company, and
others unknown to the plaintiff
company, for $500 and costs for
damage alleged to have been done
to the property of the plaintiff on
Feb. "a, through the alleged explo-
sion of a blast in a draft in the o.
K. fraction claim of the CONSOLE
dated Mines company, under lease
to the Red Hill company.
The complaint alleged that on
Feb. "a the defendants, in person
or by agent duly authorized, and in
disregard of the rights of the plain
tiff and the owners of the premises,
placed in a drift ON the claim, on
the eighth level of the Florence
mine, or the fifth level of the Lit
tie Florence mine, a charge of dy-
ramite and discharged it, partly
demolishing the drift, breaking
Gown the timbers and causing large
quantities of earth, rock and debris
to fall and damaging machinery
owned by the plaintiff and in close
proximity to the place where the
explosion occurred.

quantity that it has been bailed out
within a short time. 1t has not
been expected by the management
that any ore of value would be
found until lateral work was in
progress in the shale contact zone
and from present indications little
more sinking will be required to
reach the point where cross-cuts
will be driven to explore this zone.
The shaft of the Grandma COM
rany is one of the best in the dis
trict, of two compartments and
heavily timbered throughout, with
q view to conducting development
work on a broad scale when the
o~re-bearing zone is reached. Sink
ing has progressed to this depth at
a relatively low cost and the ex-
renses of the company are said to
have been among the lowest for
any actively operating company in
this region, as a very small amount
of money has been expended for
salaries. The property is well
equipped with machinery and in the
event of finding pay ore is in shape
o make a substantial production
without installing additional costly
equipment.

past performance and history of

Of the future success of the prop

greater efficiency in operation than
the old method. The regular tom
mage to the mill for the week has
been sustained and it is a pleasure
to announce that the grade OF the
ore to the mill has now been raised
materially.
Union Amalgamated
The Amalgamated mill is drop
ping its stamps again on company
ore. An average Of about 80 tons
per day is being hauled from the
mine to the mill. Ore is being ex-
tracted from both the $50, third
level and from the bottom or 500
foot level of the mine. A drift is
being extended on the orebody from
the $50 level, developing the Swan
son orebody. From the bottom level
a three-set raise has been started
On the ore. Trouble has been had
with the hoist motor which has de-
layed the ore hosting to some ex-
tent.
Manhattan Con.
Superintendent Mark Page, of the
Manhattan Consolidated Mines De-
velopment company, on the occa-
sion of his visit to Tonopah on
Thursday last, in an interview with
The Miners representative, report
ed that prosecuting, which has
been in progress on the 5OO-foot
level for some time, has been done
to the extent of 100 feet from the
shaft.
Calculations made by the COM
pany's engineers indicate that an
other 100 feet will have to be
travelled before the downward ex-
tension of the ledge is cut. The
working which Is being driven ahead
for this purpose is in the footwall
Of the vein, the formation being a
blue quartzite.
There is still a considerable guam
tity of water flowing, and it re-
CURES intermittent pumping dur
ing the entire three shifts employed
at the mine to keep it down sufi-
Ciently to allow work to be pushed
ahead. However, an encouraging
feature of the report is that the
flow is gradually subsiding, and
there is, very little question Thai by
the time the orebody is reached,
which is expected when the 100 feet
intervening has been traversed, the
water question will have been over
come.
In such event, it is planned by
the management to u sink
ing the shaft to another level; but
so far nothing definite along these
lines has been announced.

company is still largely confined
to the ground above the 400-foot
level, where workings are being
extended to prove up the apex of the
vein, which is now definitely es-
sablished as in the territory con-
trolled by the Red Hill company.
A considerable quantity of high
grade shipping ore has already been
hoisted to the surface and is stor-
ed in preparation for shipping. 1t
is generally believed that the prop
erty will be placed upon a regular
producing basis shortly.
Great Bend Mine
Good ore continues to come from
slopes on the 16O and 150-foot
levels, where slopes of large size
have been opened. Equipment has.
been installed at the old Lockhart
lease shaft, near the east end of
the property, and the shaft is o
icing unwatered in preparation for
the thorough development of this
part of the property. The water
will be pumped to the 250-foot
level, where it will flow through
the long main drift to the main
vertical shaft. Ore of high grade
was extracted from this shaft by
lessees during the early years of
the camp.
Jumbo Junior
Drifts are being advanced north
and south, following the ore-shoot,
from the incline winze. which is
down SIS feet below the SS0-foot
level. The ore appears to be rather
narrow for the most part at this
point, but some ore OF excellent
grade is being saved for shipment.
Recognized Blue Bull
The drift on the %250-foot level is
making good progress toward
the point where it is expected to
pick up the ore-shoot followed down
70 feet from the 1O0-foot level by
a Wine. This Wine has produced
a considerable quantity of ore al
saying from SIS to 5000 per ton,
which will later be shipped to the
smelter for treatment.

CABINET CRISIS ! !
Shows Himself Keen Politi-
cal Strategist in Trouble
in London.

London, May 1O-The successful
manner inswhich the Lloyd George
ministry In the house of commons
yesterday dealt with an unpleasant in
cident which had caused more po-
litical bitterness than any preceding
chapter of this troubled 3dministra-
ton, was brought about W a sudden
change of tactics on the part OF the
cabinet.
Premier Lloyd George again show
ed himself a keen political strategtst.
He withdrew the cabinets plan for
q court of honor to deal with the
charges of Major General Maurice
which, Andrew Bonar Law on Tues
day slid concerned the honor of the
ministers The premier made 1t clear,
that adoption Of former Premier As
quith's motion for select committee
to investigate the matter would be
regarded as vote of censure which
would be followed by the govern
ment's resignation. - i
The debate was brief and the pre-
mier's explanation was its dominating
feature.
The cabinet rode safely over the
crisis by vote of 293 to l06.
Former Premier Asquith expressed
surprise that the government would
take his motion, for Investigation by
a committee as q vote of censure and
he had the house with him when he
rebuked Chancellor Bonar Law for
asserting that members could not be
found who would give q nonpartisa
judgment. ssss. Is.
The principal point Of the premier 8
defense was that the disputed state
ments had been based on information
FURNISHED by Major General Maurice'a
department OF the war once and that
Major General Maurice never had
questioned them while he was in
daily conference with the cabinet. He
said that General Maurice had ceased
