level, in order to prospect the vein
opened on all levels above.
At the Mayflower property the
mill is now operating and will be
treating ore at full capacity in the
near future. High-grade Ore, taken
from workings on the 4OO-foot
level, is being shipped regularly to
the Mammoth smelter, in Califor-
mia, and some exceedingly high as
says are being obtained in breaking
this ore.
An orebody of great promise has
been exposed in prospecting from
the Starlight shaft and Manager
Tobin will shortly begin driving a
long drift, following the Mayflower
vein, to connect with the Starlight
shaft, a distance of 400 feet.
Plans are being formulated to
resume work or the property of the
Pioneer Consolidated Mines COM
pany, situated a short distance from
the Mayflower mine, and arrange
ments are being made to finance
development work on a broad scale.
When this work begins, President
Tobin is planning to sink the main
shaft to greater depth and to con-
duct a thorough system of prospect
ing on deep levels. The Pioneer
property has produced upwards OF
100000 in ore of good grade, all
from above a depth of 800 feet, and
there is still a large tonnage OF
/ good mill ore in sight in the mine
workings.

Sheep Thieves Caught

Allen and Bowen, two of the men
alleged to be implicated in the theft
CT 1900 sheep in Oregon, which
we're shipped through Winnemucca,
have been apprehended in Omaha.
They were caught before they had
received any money. The number
# sheep that arrived in Omaha was
coo short of that shipped from
Winnemucca and it is supposed the
missing 600 were disposed of at
some point en- route. No details
of the arrests were given in infor-
patton received from Omaha.

MANHATTAN DEVELOPING

ia confidently expected that the re-
suits of this present success Will De
the of similar installa-
tions in many of the Nevada mills
This is true especially in
tan.
The Amalgamated management IN
tend to remove their mill and cyan
i6e plant to the Gene of operations
on Litigation Hill next spring, and
already flow sheets have been drawn
up for the commencement process
to be installed. There is nothing Oh
note to report in mine operations.
Mention was made in last weeks
notes of the raise from the west
orebody of the White Caps to the
surface following the footwall OF the
ore. This raise holed through ex-
actly 46 feet within the side line OF
the White Caps No. 1 claim.
Manhattan Consolidated
The Consolidated mine crew Is
busily engaged in the company shaft
sinking from the fourth level. Ac-
tual sinking with three shifts per
"a hours was started Jan. 20. The
shaft already has reached a depth OF
| 80 feet below the level, with Is feet
of the shaft timbered. No water OF
any account has so far been ncoun
tered in the shaft. At present the
shaft is passing through a rib of
hard, CLASSY quartzite, already hav-
ing shown Is feet of this character
of rock.
Probably a flow of water will be
encountered upon reaching the limits
of the quartzite. From the third
level drifting in the mud ledge has
uncovered a very good grade of ore
for 20 feet, but work has been
stopped in the ledge, as it is not
feasible to carry on this lateral work
and also continue the shaft sink
ing. The ore uncovered is bunchy
somewhat and is found especially
rich in rus holes and breaks in the
vein.
Union Amalgamated
In the Amalgamated the work of
charging and r%etimbering has now
reached a point 408 feet from the
surface. 1t is expected that a furth-
er depth of about 80 feet will bring
the shaft to the 600-foct level of the
Bath workings and then lateral de-
velopment will Immediately be car
ried on both east and west. East on
the Earl and Kendall orebodies and
west on the Bath orebodies and sim
liar ore developed still farther west
in Litigation Hill. The 600-foot lev
ell should be reached by about the
middle of February, unless some
thing unforeseen at this time should
delay the present rate of progress i
the shaft work.

grade of ore is being broken for
shipment. Preparations are being
made at the east end of the proper
ty, on the 300-foot level, to reopen
the old Lockhart lease workings, in
quest of the high-grade deposit
found here.
lone Star Consolidated
Announcement is expected short
ly of definite plans for the resump-
ton of work on the Lone Star prop
erty, which will be under the direc-
ton of Thomas w. Kendall of Gold
field, a widely known and success
full mine operator, who has made
a close study of this ground. 1t is
probable that work will be started
in the northwestern part of the pro-
perty.

CUTS ORE-SHOOT

Continued From Page One)
short distance from the new discov-
cry, was worked by the Rogers-Syn-
dictate lease, which is reputed to
have made a production Of several
millions.
All these workings are in what Is
known as the main Florence vein,
which has a northerly trend and
crosses the joint boundary diagonal
ly. At this point the vein or ore
channel Is of great width, dipping
to the east, and enters Florence from
the Red Hill at depths varying from
800 to 700 feet. The Red Hill COM
pany acquired ground to the west
of it's original holdings here, giving
it all extra-lateral rights in the big
vein within it's end-lines and afford
ing stopping areas from it's deepest
workings to the surface.
Until a short time ago development
work had been confined to the main
500-foot level, with the exception
of two raises and some lateral work
from these raises. Good results
were obtained in the central part of
the property, near the main shaft,
where in addition to strong seams of
m yielding high assays, there are
indications of a substantial tonnage
of excellent mill ore. Some distance
north of the shaft a raise was driv-
en- approximately 100 feet and from
this a drift has been driven north to
the point where the high-grade dis
covery was made a short time ago.
1t was decided recently to under
take development work on the GOO
foot level, and with this object in
view the shaft was retimbered in a
substantial manner from the 500 to
the 60O-foot level and a large work
ing station has been prepared at the
deeper level from which extensive
work is to be conducted. The shaft
is 500 feet deep and stations yer
cut at each 100-foot point, but lit
tie development work was done any
where until the present company
was organized.
The new discovery comes at a
time when an assessment has just
been paid, at the rate of n cent
per share, and when the company is
provided with funds to develop the
new orebody in a manner calculated
to produce the best results in the
shortest time. The time limit for
paying the assessment was extended
to Feb. 8, owing to the fact that
many stockholders had failed to
have their shares transferred to
their own names and it was impossi-
BILE to reach them directly with 10
tees of the assessment.
Mining men who have examined
the new find express the belief that
the orebody will prove be be n of
large proportions and they point
to the fact that it opens most i'm
portant possibilities for a large
area of ground that has not been
prospected at depth, or below the
shallowest levels opened in the
early days of mining here. In fact.
the main vein has never been explor-

HAWKINS ONE OF UNAsHAMec

Horace Hawkins, famed I. w. w.
attorney. as chairman Of the Demo-
cratic assembly in Denver a few days
ago, made much ado of the great ma
jority given to President Wilson by
Colorado two years ago.
Mir. Hawkins listen:
If the Democratic party will make
its campaignon the damnabIe and
hellish false pretences and misrep-
reservations of two years ago. Colorado
will wipe the Democratic party out
of existence this fall Bring out your
lvote-getting slogan He kept us out
of war" If you dare!
The life of the Democrats party IL
office. Its alleged principles have
long ago been prostituted to mere cam
Daign material. used only for fooiing
the voters and what the Democrats
use today has never been used before
and never dare be resorted to again
witness the change in just two years.
The principles of the Republican
party are as eternal as the everlast-
ing hills and the party cannot and will
not sacrifice or abate those principles
one jot or title. for they must prevail.
