Duty and Resignation.
A correspondent during one Of these
lulls walked down a narrow street
bordered by the walls. Of houses of
the sixteenth century, or such parts
Of them as had survived the Ger
man bombardments. He met young
ster standing in the middle Of the
street gazing at one Of the wrecked
houses. Asked why he was gazing ut
that house. the boy answered:

Play at War Games.
Nearing the cathedral, almost COM
pletely Quilted by the bombardment,
the correspondent met a crowd Of
boys playing at their favorite game.
He watched them for some time.
After playing In quickly constructed
trenches in one of the courtyards of
a destroyed house. where they had
ingeniously placed their toy machine
guns. the attacking party was just
jumping out of their shelter when the
gas alarm was sounded. All the boys
quickly donned their masks and con-
tinued playing, rather stimulated by
the unforeseen reality of their game.
So interested were they that they
never thought Of finding shelter, but
had to be ordered to do so by patrol
ling soldiers.
But these things could not go on.
The youngsters had too much free
time, as all the schools were closed
and days were spent In holiday-mak-
ing. The municipality established
schools in the huge cellars OF the big
champagne houses of Reims.
Every day the teacher had to go
through the deserted streets under
heavy bombardment, and very often
the school children had to be kept in
after hours when the town was being
shelled. These children, having grown
up under these conditions, will be
a nation of valiant citizens.

CONSOLIDATED MINES Co. To
MAINTAIN OPERATIONS
ON NORMAL SCALE

No curtailment in scope of its op-
erations or suspt nsion of any de
partment of its various enterprises
is contemplated by the Goldfield Cor
solidated Mines company, according
to statements made by officers OF
the company. The mines and mill,
as well as the Goldfield store, will
continue operating on normal basis
and there is ample assurance that
the company's mines will maintain
without interruption the substantial
output of recent months.
In order to set at rest rumors to
the effect that the company's local
store was to close and that mining
and milling operations were to be
curtailed, the Tribune sought an in
terview with General Manager E. A.
Julian, who authorized the following
statement:
In regard to the company's
rolicy in connection with it's local
operations it is not the intention
to lease the entire mine, as seems
to have been rumored. AS mat
ter of fact, for the present only a
very few new leases will be let and
these only on ground which tn 2
present management may not in
clude in the territory which it has
under consideration for further de-
velopment.
AS 1t is realized how we'll the
larger portion of the property has
in the past responded to systematic
development, it is felt that further

reports on the property indicate that
the ore-bearing zones at levels thus
far opened are ill-defined and while
some valuable deposits have been
found, notably the Bonanza stope,
which yielded over 100000 In
high-grade ore, greater depth must
be attained to reach the zone where

adjoining the Conservative and re-
garded as one of the most valuable
in the entire district, and extensive
development work will be conducted
in this ground at depth.
Following a recent exhaustive ex-
animation of the Pioneer mine, Con-
sulting Engineer Turner prepared a
report which is in part as follows:
AS a result of my examination of
the development work and stoping
on your property during the years
of my service with your company,
and of the assay and mill records
on file at your office, | am of the
opinion that my first conclusions
of the character of the occurrences
of the ore deposits are correct and
that it will require greater depth
than that now reached for the ore
deposits to take the vein or lode
like form. | quote from the re-
port dated March 18th, 1913:
The ore deposits as exposed in
the property of the Pioneer Con-
solidated Mines company occur as
irregular masses of altered and
mineralized rock traversed by multi
| tudes of small, irregularly inter
secting fractures containing values.
Certain deposits, however, exhibit
/ in part more regularity of form
and there is reason to suppose that
at depth greater than that now
reached, the ore deposits may take
the vein or lode-like form.
But within the mass of rock ex-
tending from the surface to the
present depth, mass which in

The Tonopah Gold Reef Mining

ATLANTA NOW PROSPECTING
FO0T-WAlL OF LODE
ON 1850 LEVEL

At depth of 1850 feet in the
Atlanta mine the main vein is now
being penetrated by a cross-cut
from the vertical winze, which was
sunk from the 175O-foot level west
of the foot-wall, and in the past
few days this work has exposed a
number of seams of ore yielding
high assays. Owing to the flat
dip of the vein at this depth and
to the fact that the silicified latte
zone, in which good ore has been
found elsewhere, it at this depth,
Manager Darcy decided upon driv-
ing this cross-cut, which has been
extended in northeasterly direc-
ton and entered the foot-wall at
a distance of about rs feet from
the winze.
After progressing short distance
farther into the vein, in order to
prospect the foot-wall area in a
thorough manner, drift will be
extended to the north from this
cross-cut, for the purpose of reach
ing a point under the auxiliary
winze from the 1850 level, sunk
farther north and on the incline
OF the foot-wall This winze has
exposed some good ore, the most
promising, in fact, that has been
revealed in the work on deep levels
Cf the mine, and a raise will be
driven from the drift on the 1850
level to connect with this winze
end to explore this part of the
vein on the foot-wall side.
In the opinion of the manage
ment the greatest Importance at
aches to the work now progressing
at this point and there are strong
hopes that the many good seams of
pay ore found in recent develop
ment work will be found to unite
into deposit of commercial pro-
portions. fne work has already ex-
posed a considerable quantity of
rather low-grade ore, which can be
treated profitably with local facili-
ties for handling it, but which un-
der present conditions cannot be
shipped to distant points for treat
ment.

carried on in many parts of the
mine, will result in discoveries of
ere in sufficient quantity to enable
the company to continue the oper-
alton of its mines and mill for some
time to come.
''As has been done in the past,
il is planned to continue the oper-
alton of the company store at a
loss in order to Offset in part the
gradual increased cost of provisions.
Fairly large stocks of supplies are
On hand, so that the effect of the
increased freight rate will not be
felt in full force for several months.
THE proposed increase of 20
per cent in freight rate, which
goes into effect June 25, sounds at
first glance very material to places
of such isolation as Goldfield, but
when it is considered that the aver
age cost of food products delivered
here is approximately So purchase
price and 1-6 freight, it will be
seen the maximum increase will
be only about 4 per cent"
Manager Julian stated that COM
rany operations are progressing in
d satisfactory manner in all depart
ments and the mines are producing
a large tonnage OF pay ore. The
Goldfield mill contiues to treat an
average of nearly 1000 tons daily,
while the mill at Aurora is hand
ling nearly it's capacity of 500 tons.

equipment of the Lidgerwood radial

The work of prosecuting to the
southwest for the other lodges of
the Tonopah Divide mine, proved on
the surface to be well worth devel-
cping at depth, is going steadily
ahead, with little or no change in
conditions reported.
All the timbers required for the
sinking of the shaft another 100
feet are now on the ground, but 1T
is not expected that the actual work
of deepening the shaft will be
started for at least week. The
arrangement hopes to be able to
complete the sinking, timbering,
and shaft station work before the

At depth of over 500 feet the
main shaft of the Grandma Consoli-
dates Mines company is still in
quartz and apparently has been
progressing in the shale contact zone
for 80 feet or more. The quartz
shows an increasing degree Of min
eralization as depth is gained and it
is now apparent that the shale is be-
ing approached. Although the
exposing pay ore Immediately at
this point or without extending lat
erals on the shale, it is realized that
such an event is altogether within
the range of possibility and much
interest attaches to the work of sink
ing to the shale.
In the opinion of some of the
best authorities on the geology OF
the district 1t is a point decidedly
in favor of good results here that
the shale has not been exposed at
less depth, as 1t Is shown that this
point, where the shaft is being
sunk, is near the deepest part of the
depression in the shale's surface,
where the best ore deposits of the
contact zone are usually looked for.
and this depth also indicates that
here the east-dipping shale will be
found, which is believed to carry
greater amount of enrichment
than the west-dipping shale, which

SILVER PICK MINE
IN PROMISING
CONDITION
QUOTED AT 12OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Results of {. most encouraging
character are said to have been
obtained in the recent work of the
Silver Pick Consolidated company,
at depth of nearly 1909 feet,
where the shaft, according to re-
cent reports, has pcoetrated a high
l.. mineralizei ZCne Of quartz from
which many good assays in gold,
silver and copper have been OBJ
tanned. In the opinion of the man
agement the zone that apparently
forms a Gaping and is heavily
impregnated with iron, but which
carries little of the precious metals,
mas been passed through by the
shaft and an ore-channel OF great
possibilities is now being entered.
At approximately the 1200-foot
level, after having sunk the main
shaft an additional 100 feet, lateral
development work is to be conduct
ed to explore what appears to be
tile great cross vein, extending to
the east and reaching the Colum-
bia Mountain fault, in the opinion
OF mining men here, at about the
point where the Sheets-Ish lease
extracted quantities of high-grade
ore in the early days of the camp.
1t is the intention of Manager
George F. Dyer to extend cross-cuts
to the north and south, with the
object of exploring both walls of
this vein or ore-channel. The
showing at this depth is regarded
as having greater merit that any
point opened in the course of the
Company's operations and Manager
Dyer is confident that deposits of
commercial ore will be opened in
further work at this depth.

Rumors that have been widely
circulated of late, apparently ema-
mating from sources interested in de-
pressing the market value of certain
Goldfield stocks, to the effect that
a further curtailment or suspension
of operations was contemplated by
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, have been effectively set
at rest by officers of the company,
in a statement made to the News
and Tribune. There has been some
curtailment in the scope of mining
operations by several Goldfield COM
panies, owing to conditions incident
to the war which have rendered nee
essary steps to cut down operating
expense, and in part due to the lack
of market for certain qualities of
ore and mill products, but develop
ment work in local mines is continu-
ing on broad scale, is amply fl
nanced and will not be interrupted.
Results of development at depth
in several local mines have been in
every way encouraging and afford
ample justification for the continu-
ance of this work. The great Allan
ia vein is now being opened at a
depth of 1850 feet, where many
high-grade assays have been obtain
ed from seams of ore carrying gold,
silver and copper; ore of similar
character. has been found in deep
work of the Consolidated Mines COM
pany; the Grandma shaft Is appar-
emily nearing the shale contact ore
channel, the Kewanas is entering
the same zone in it's northern terri
tory and the Silver Pick Consolidat-
ed is said to have the most encour-
aging showing that has yet been
made at depth of nearly 1900 feet
in it's main shaft on the Deserted
claim. Other mines of the district
are working in territory of much
promise and may expose ore of com-
mercial quantity at any time, whj.e
the recent starting Of regular pro-
duction of good value by the Red
Hill Florence is proving of great in
terest.
Goldfield Consolidated
War conditions have interfered
with the marketing of concentrate
from the flotation process, but it is
aid that the company's mines contain
a large tonnage of ore that can be
treated profitably by this process
and that this ore will eventually
yield important revenues. The mill
continues to treat a substantial ton
mage of mill failing. by the cyanide
process, and satisfactory results have
