The next few days, or in fact
any round of shots in the face of
the east cross-cut on the 1900-foot
level. may bring developments of
vital importance in the Atlanta
NINE The cross-cut has now reach
ed approximately the point where
1t was estimated the footwall
of the main Atlanta vein would be
penetrated, but Manager Darcy has
at all times had in view the possi-
bility that the big vein may assume
a flatter dip at this great depth, ex-
tending slightly the distance neces-
sary to drive in this work.
1t Is regarded as practically cer-
tain that the vein will be cut with
in the next few shifts. The cross
cut will be continued through the
big lode, which will be explored by
means of drifts and raises at points
Offering the best showing. The for
nation in which the work has been
progressing is a broken, highly sill
Gifted shale. heavily impregnated
with iron-copper sulphides. All
conditions revealed in this work
lend support to the belief that a
zone of secondary enrichment will
be found upon exploring the main
vein at this depth.
On the 175O-foot level the vein
was explored to considerable ex-
tent, showing large bodies of me-
dunn and low-grade gold-copper ore,
and at this depth the vein was
found to be fully 60 feet wide in
places. If the vein proves to be
narrower at the 1900 level, this
fact will not be regarded as un-
favorable, as it will mean great
er degree of concentration of the
metals and consequently more valu-
able deposits of ore. The leached
condition of the vein nearer the
surface affords evidence of the pre-
sence Of secondary deposits at
depth and according to expert opin-
ion these deposits should be found
at the depth now attained.
It is pointed out that the best ore
yet found in the Atlanta mine, in
cluding some of high shipping
grade, has appeared in workings on
the 175O-foot level and in shallow
wines sunk from that level. Fur
ther sinking of these wines to pros
pect the vein below was prevented
by the heavy flow of water, which
has now disappeared from this level

Something approaching real
boom impresses the impartial visitor
who sees the accumulation of auto
mobiles, freight teams carrying
loads of new machinery, and the
steadily increasing force of miners
at work on the various properties of
the Tonopah Gold Mountain dis
trict.
In the main property of the
camp, the Tonopah Divide. the COM
pany's report of operations for the
past week shows that the drift to

Work that is now in progress in
the northern part of the property of
the Reorganized Kewanas Mining
company, at a depth of $40 feet. Is
regarded as the most important . /
undertaken by the company and IL
expected TO yield results of great
interest within a short time, possibly
within the next week or two and
with certainty before the end of the
current month. This work has been
planned for some time past and it's
Importance has been generally recog-
nized by those in touch with condi-
tions in the mine.
In the earlier development work
at this depth a main drift was extend
ed north from the working station
for a distance of nearly 900 feet.
At a point about 500 feet from the
station the new work is being carried
forward, west of the drift. At this
point the drift had followed for
some distance the fracture plane Of
a step fault, which cuts the vein at
right angles to it's dip, the vein, or
contact channel, as it appears to be
here, lying at a rather flat angle
and dipping east.
The fault plane, followed by the
drift, showed latte at the west and
shale at the east, indicating that the
ground east of the fault had been
thrown slightly upward or that the
territory to the west had subside d,
with opinion favoring the former
theory A cross-cut was driven east
near this point, continuing in the
shale for about 800 feet, where 1t ex-
osed the contact zone and rather
narrow vein of good ore.
Coming back in the cross-cut
about 100 feet, Manager Darcy
drove a vertical raise which, after
RAISING through the shale for only
about 18 feet, entered the quartz
of the contact zone and showed sonle
pay ore. Continuing this raise a
short distance a body of high-grade
shipping ore was exposed and some
ore was shipped at the time from
this point. The raise was continued
into the latte and a cross-cut dri:-

This work had been seriously
hampered throughout by the lack of
good air and further work at this
point was discontinued for the time
being. Returning to the end of the

Atlanta Mines Co.
In mining circles all interest is
now centered on the deep work of
the Atlanta company, which is about
to cut the main Atlanta vein at a
depth of 1900 feet, the deepest point
attained in southern Nevada min
ing operations. The east cross-cut
from the deep winze has reached
the point where it was indicated
above that the foot-wall should be
penetrated and news is expected at
any hour that the big vein has been
cut and that pay ore has been ex-
posed. The cross-cut will be con-
t;nued through the vein to the hang
ing wall, after which drifts and
raises will be driven to explore the
best parts of the lode, in which
large bodies of gold-copper ore have
been exposed above the 175O-foot
level. The cross-cut has continued

ing much iron-copper sulphide.

Gently opened in the shaft of the
Butte Goldfield company, in the Gold

Goldfield, has resulted in the dis
covery of 18 inches of ore assaytng

Carmack, who is in charge of the
property.
l.. L. Patrick, president of the
company, is expected here daily
and it is believed additional miners
will soon be put to work on the vein
recently opened and that drifting
from the 15O-foot level will proceed
rapidly to the east and toward the
old Randolph property, where 1t is
predicted valuable deposits will be
found.
Seams of copper-bearing ore assay
ing as high as 500 per ton were
previously opened in work on the
100-foot level, where good bodies
of milling grade ore also were found
in prosecuting and it is expected
that the return to Goldfield of the
president of the company will lead
to the starting of work on larger
scale than heretofore, in view of re-
cent discoveries, and that shipments
will be made in the near future.

On the first day of the present

of quantities of broken quartz in

In spite of the lack of ready

QUANTITY OF SHIPPING ORE
NOW AVAILABLE ON
SURFACE

Operations of the Red Hill Flor
ence company has been confined in
large measure to dead work during
the past week and no stopping has
yet been done in the rich orebody
exposed some time ago on the 400
foot level and followed down so feet
by a winze. This winze continued
in high-grade shipping ore for its
entire depth and the ore was later
exposed for some distance b va drift
on the 500-foot level, indicating that
this territory is destined to produce
a substantial tonnage of pay ore.
Drifts were started from the bot
tom of the winze and all these
workings have continued in good
ore. Some of the product broken in
sinking the winze Is of exceedingly
high grade, the assays in many cas-
es ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 per
ton, and ore to the value of many
thousands of dollars has been brok-
en- and is ready for shipment.
Efforts of part of the working
force have been directed lately to
work above the 400-foot level and
near the surface, designed to prove
up the apex of the vein. which plain
ly Is in the territory west of the
Florence Goldfield-Red Hill Florence
joint boundary. All of this terri
tory, for many hundred feet to the
west, Is owned or held under long
term lease by the Red Hill Florence
company, which also possesses all
extralateral rights covering any
vein having its apex in this terri
tory. The proving up of the apex
here will set at rest all rumors OF
possible disputes between the Flor
ence and Red Hill companies over
the ownership of ore in the vein
traversing this ground.
A short time before the rich find
was made on the 400-foot level of

was retimbered from the 500-foot

Burst The Lid On The
War Chest
Is The Slogan For Next Week.
100000 Will Do 1t.
Many Union Men Have Been Called To The Colors
Workingmen, Wake Up To This Great
Patriotic Movement.

Citizens of the Hamilton district,
comprising Hamilton and ali of But
Ter County excepting Middletown and
Trenton and Madison and Lemon
townships, will have the opportunity
next week, to work together for the
common good when the effort is made
to fill the War Chest. Filling the
War Chest is to create a fund which
cares for the soldiers at the front and
also for their families at home. 1t is
one fund for use by an organized com
munity, not several funds for use by
separate organizations.
If successful in creating this fund
it will not be necessary until the
lapse of another year to make another
appeal to the people for funds. The
Red Cross, the Y. NJ. G. Al, the
Knights Of Columbus, The Salvation
Army, and all other organizations
sharing in the proceeds Of the Chest
viii act simply as the agents Of the
citizens Of the Hamilton District. All
organizations recognized by the gov
ernment and doing war relief work
will be considered when the fund is
administered.
There are numerous reasons for a
War Chest. But the chief reason is
that instead of one or a number of
organizations doing war relief work
for their respective institutions ex-
clusively all, under the War Chest

system will be doing war relief work
for the whole community. While they
win maintain their separate organi-
cations in reality they will act as
unit at the front.
1t is impossible for the boys to win
the war abroad if they are not backed
to the limit by the people at home.
More than two thousand young men
have gone from the Hamilton dis
trict. Many Of them are trade union
lists or sons of trade unionists. They
need attention, they need comforts,
they need places to meet in, places
to play in and places to worship in.
The War Chest idea, through the
organizations which it will finance,
viii bring the home to the boys in the
trenches or at least as much as pos
sible to transport across the sea.
1t is up to the worllingmen Of Ham
ilton, and especially the union men to
BURST THAT LID" and the Press is
confident that the union men Of Ham
ilton will live up to the expectations
placed in them.
It should be said that not single
penny Of the money that is paid into
the War Chest will be used for ex-
penses. Postage, printing. advertis-
ing and ali other necessary expenses

A SCORE OF REASONS
FOR THE RED CROSS
1t Is Playing a Big Part in the
War for Democracy.

What does 1t mean to you to know
that your America Red Cross:
Is supporting $4,000 French children.
Sends supplies to 3,423 French mill
tary hospitals
Provides 1000 French hospitals with
surgical dressings.
Is operating 80 canteens at the front
line
Is operating six other canteens at
French railway functions, serving
10000 French soldiers day
Operates a movable hospital In four
units accommodating 1000 men.
Is operating a children's refuge in one
part of the war zone, and in another
medical center and travelling dis
pensary, both capable Of accommo-
dating more than 1000 children.
Has opened a long chain of ware
houses stocked with hospital sup.
plies, food, soldiers comforts, to.
bacco, blankets, etc, all the way
from the seaboard to the Swiss
frontier.
Has warehouse capacity for 100000
tons.
Has 400 motor cars and operates seven
garages, making all repairs.
Has shipped 46 freight car loads of
assorted supplies to Italy from
France within two weeks after 1t
began operating in the former coun.
try
Had battery of motor ambulances
at the Piave front four days after
the United States declared war on
Austria.
Started hundred different activities
in Italy at the time that nation was
in its most critical condition.
Has established five hospitals In Eng.
land and operates a workshop for
hospital supplies employing 1000
women.
And that 10000 cases of supplies
have been received at the Paris
headquarters Of the American Red
Cross from your various chapters
scattered throughout the United
States.
What does all this mean to you?
And | have told you but a fraction of
the work your Red Cross has done
and Is doing. It means that without
this ceaseless, heroic work Of the
American Red Cross, we could never
win this war.
Without your Red Cross thousands
In Rumania would have starved to
death
Without your Red Cross Italy would
never have realized that powerful sup
port of the United States In the hour
Of need
Without your Red Cross thousands
Of French soldiers now gallantly fight
ing for you at the front would have
died Of wounds, exposure and lack of
food.
But now we must all redouble our
efforts and sacrifices for our Red Cross
because-a million mothers sons are
going to carry the stars and stripes
to the greatest victory God has ever
given to men fighting for honor and
liberty.
With the help of your Red 6a-,s
your boy will win.

SEC'Y LANES TRIBUTE TO LABOR
Special Session Held
By Trades Council
Tuesday.

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council was called into special session
Tuesday night to take immediate
action on the Smith-Sears Rehabilita-
tion Bill, providing for the re-educa-
tion and fitting into industry of re-
turned disabled soldiers. This bill
has been introduced in the House and
Senate, and hearings have been held
before Education Committees of both
Houses.
The American Federation of Labor
and all elements in society are in ac-
cord that the administration on this
law as provided, shall be under the
civilian control of the Federal Board
for vocational Education
There is no danger, however, the
A. F. of L. states, which threatens
and which must be vigorously OPP
posed. An element pervading milf
tary circles that this great undertak-
ing should be placed in charge of the
military authorities. The American
Federation of Labor is emphatically
opposed to military control, during
the period of re-edncating and fitting
disabled soldiers and sailors and as
sisting them in returning to civil in
dustrial life
The communication urges that we
take immediate action and write to
our Senators and Congressman of
this district, also to notify all labor
unions to do likewise.
The Council received the communi-
cation and complied with same.

Another Proof OF Frame-Up
In Mooney Case.
Police Inspector Smith Makes
Affidavit To This Effect.

San Francisco-Attorneys for Thos.
]. Mooney have filed another affidavit
to prove that their client was convict
ed by improper methods.
The affidavit is made by William
H. Smith, acting inspector of police
of the Oakland police department,
who says that on July %, 1916, he took
Nellie Edeau from Oakland to the San
Francisco Police department where
she was shown the picture of man
with mustache. She was told that
this was Mooney. She was then taken
to jail and shown both Mooney and
Warren K. Billings.
Smith makes oath that the Edeau
woman then declared to this affiant
that she had never in her life before
seen either of the said persons, towit,
Warren K. Billings and Thomas J.
Mooney"
The police officer states that he
made diary entry of this incident,
which is matter Of record in the
Oakland police department. He show
ed this entry to District Attorney
Fickert, who prosecuted Mooney.
Fickert told Smith that he (Smith)
would make a good witness for the
defense" and to forget the matter.
The value of Smiths affidavit can
be appreciated when it is recalled that
Mooney does not wear mustache
and at the trial the Edeau woman
testified for the prosecution and pos
itively identified the defendants.
