Active development work has
been in progress for some time past
on a property situated in the Har-
mony range of mountains, about six
miles east of Winnemucca, and re-
ports from that town state that ore
of good grade has been exposed in
considerable quantity in the prog
ress of this work. One shaft ha
been sunk to a depth of 1876 feet,
where drifts aggregating $50 feet
have been driven, and prOspectin;
has been done at the surface by
sinking shallow shafts, open cuts
and trenches on the vein groupings.
Recently payments were complet-
ed and the property, embracing the
Wolverine, Red Rose and Quartz
Hill groups, came into the posses
sion of J. l.. Hawley and associates
of North Carolina and Georgia. G..
B. Williams is in charge of the
properties for the new owners and
the development work is being di-

GOOD.GRADE ORE Being MINED :.
IN QUANTITY near WINNEMUCCA
(By r. l.. Richie)

rected by E. d. Cox, acting as SUI
perintendent. The properties were
purchased by the present owners
from julius Sigmund and Chris
Deiss of Winnemucca, who have
been working the ground at inter-
walls for several years.
The properties are well equipped
with mining machinery, the main
shaft having been provided with a
Fairbanks-Morse gasoline hosting
engine. Reports of the manage
ment state that on the 135-foot lev
ell the drifts have exposed wide fac
es of good ore, one point showing a
width of Is feet of ore averaging
around $50 per ton. The contents
of the ore are copper, gold and sill
yer. In order to stimulate inter-
est in the property and the district,
the management has invited the
people of Winnemucca to a lunch
con that is to be served at
mine.

TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

ground, the West End Consolidated
Mining company has lately started
prospecting operations in territory
adjacent to the first-named work
ings, but which has heretofore been
neglected. 1t Is anticipated that
by means of the new work, some
ore in addition to the large quanti-
ties that have already been pro-
duced from the West End vein will
be developed, and the prospecting
operations will be forwarded with
as much speed as possible.
Halifax
Crosscut 1108, on the 11OO-foot
level of the Halifax Tonopah mine
was advanced the usual distance
during the past week and no change
has been encountered as yet. Drift
1117 made a limite damount of
progress. This work is being driv-
en- in the high-grade stripger, and
it shows no different conditions
from those previously reported, the
results being excellent but the
width small There was also some
progress made in 1112 raise, which
is being put up in low-grade ore.
On the 140O-foot level, 1416 raise
made good headway, but nothing OF
Importance has been encountered
as yet.
North Star
Operations which have been for
warded lately are bearing fruit in
the way of successful development
of ore in particularly promising ter
ritory. 1t will probably be remem-
bered by those who follow the re-
ports of operations at the property
that some weeks ago a drift was
started in the general direction OF
the high-grade lease on the Mon
tana Tonopah Mining eompany's
property, which adjoins the North
Star. This drift lay under the Miz
pah fault, and encouraging condi
tions have been met with constantly
as the face of the drift was ad
vanced.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
HAS SHORT BUT
PROFITABLE
SEASON

According to reports received
here, considering the length of
time the mine was worked during
the past season and the amount of
material handled, the Round Noun
tain placer mine at Round Noun
tain made the best showing of its
entire history. but, owing to water
shortage. the giants were operated
under full head for only one
month. During several months
following operations were continued
on a reduced scale, by allowing the
water to accumulate behind the
dam for 16 hours a supply suffi-
cient to operate one giant for eight
hours bei-o >ht- '~cd
IA the water possible was saved
last spring and the company contin-
ued operations on seepage water
as long as possible, but the winter
was an unusually dry one in all
coast and mountain states.
The average value per yard of
handled is reported to
have been considerably above the
estimate made before work was
started last season.

DIVIDE SHIPPING G
-FOUR CARS OF
ORE WEEKLY
TO MILL

Tonopah Miner: Last week the
shipments of ore from the Tonopah
Divide Mining company to the Gold
field Consolidated mill aggregated
four carloads, or about 200 tons.
This rate of shipment will be main
tanned for the present, in line with
the plans and intentions of the
company.
In the meanwhile development
work is proceeding as vigorously as
possible, and plans are being made
for the further sinking of the shaft
below the 37O-foot level. For this
purpose a hoist is being installed at
the present bottom station, and
when completed will be used exclu-
sively in sinking to the depth in
tended. which will evtenually be the
water level, thus allowing the sur
face hoist equipment free for the
prosecution of development work
and the handling of ore from the
upper levels.
The principal work done during
the week was in the south crosscut
headed into the hill at the second
level. The crosscut is now out 493
feet from the shaft, and has not yet
reached the downward extensions
of the gold-bearing veins that were
worked on the surface in former OPP
erations.

Winnemucca Star: One of the
biggest mining suits in the history
of this state was filed in the dis
trict court here last week. The
plaintiff is the Rochester Elda Fina
Mines company and the Rochester
Mines company is the defendant.
The complainant in the suit calls
for $1,056,00O damages for goods
sold and delivered, but in reality is
an apex suit, although the word
apex is not mentioned in the COM
plant.
The defendant company is con-
trolled by l.. A. Friedman. while

Joe Julian returned a few days

On cne of these properties Nugent

Tonopah Miner: In its plan for
the thorough exploration of its To-
cal property the Tonopah Belmont
company is making excellent head
way. Some of the newer workings,
which have been started within the
past few weeks. are making fairly
satisfactory progress, though in
most cases there has been little or
no change encountered in the con-
ditions. One piece of work at the

Track is in both tunnels and
buildings for all purposes have been
erected. There is plenty of tim
her and water in the region and an

used for pumping water to the jigs.
Heinecke says that mining men
who have examined the Treasure

reports.

TOP The MARKET
SOUTH DAKOTA CATTLE BRING
RECORD PRICES AT SIOUX
CITY MARKET.

Sioux City, May 25.-Another
price record was shattered when A
head of grade Aberdeen Angus steers
averaging 100 pounds sold at
Sits per hundred weight. This
stands as the highest price ever paid
on the Sioux City market in the his
tory of the trade and equals the high
est figure ever reached on any other
market.
The owner, G. III. Howdle, of Park
er, bought these cattle last fall at
Pukwana. and they were on full feed
since November, including corn, a
little alfalfa and oilmeal and have
shown a gain of slightly over 500
pounds to the head since they came
into Mr.. Howdle's hands. H.. w.
Bartle had charge of the feeding.
The sale was made through Fitz-
simmon-Pierce-Frick Co., to Fred
Patterson, for the Cudahy Packing
company. The steers cost the pack
ing company $3O2.96 per head.

HON. JOHN h. GROCE
LAKE COUNTY'S LONG TIME
MEMBER OF THE LEGIS-
LATURE.

Hon. John III. Groce. of Concord
township, spent the day in Madison
calling on his friends which are le-
gion in this city. Mr.. Groce is Lake
county's oldest member of the state
legislature, in point of service, hav-
ing served the county five terms.
This is an experience that has come
to be regarded of great value to the
county by the people of the county.
Mr.. Groce is thoroughly ~conversant
at all times of the progress of the
proceedings of the legislature and
from his long time membership is an
influential member of that body. His
work Gin the interest of local affairs
has met with the unqualified approx
al of his constituents and his work
for the state at large on important
committees has also been of a high
standard. Mr.. Groce is a candidate
for reelection at the primary cleo
tions Tuesday, May %.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-05-25

his work in this capacity Mr.. Johnson
has shown unusual ability not only
in clerical work, but good business
judgment as well.
Perhaps no better man for the Of
flee of register of deeds could be
chosen than Mr.. Johnson when real
ability is taken as the qualification.
In early manhood he was a teacher
of his farm neighborhood school, is
ex~cellently qualified as a bookkeep-
er and is an accomplished penman,
naturally and by requirement.
These qualifications go for the exact
ing work incident to the office of reg
itser of deeds and Mr.. Johnson pos
sesses them to a high degree. Be-
sides his successful career as a bust
ness farmer, coupled with mature
business judgment thoroughly equips
him for the office of register of deeds
in which the property owners of the
county desire and insist upon having
the best service obtainble.-Adv.

GETS GOOD START
ALL SMALL GRAIN THRIFTY
CORN PLANTING in SOUTH
ERN AREA NEARLY DONE.

Pierre, May 25.-Travelers over
the state say that crops conditions
for the season cannot be improved.
Small grain is getting a good start
and corn planting is pretty nearly
done in the southern part of the state
and is well under way further north.
The flax acreage will be large in
the northern section, but not much
in the south. The potato crop for
this year promises to be less in acre
age than for the last year. This is
said to be due to the fact that re-
CARELESS of the high retail price the
s%peculator did not make anything
and the farmers did not profit on
their potato crop.
Much e soil has been broken
this year.

for his country's sake.
ITO the patriotic men and women
OF the Liberty loan committee and
organizations throughout the coun-
try who have served with such eX-
traordinary unselfishness and enthu-
siasm, too much praise cannot be
given. l wish / would express to
each of them personally my grateful
appreciation, but as this is impossible
will you kindly send this message
from me to all Liberty loan organiz-
atoms in your district.
Great are the of Amer
lea, but greater are the unconquer-
able soul and spirit of her people.
THE people of the Ninth Federal
Reserve district have every reason to
be proud of the very prominent part
they are playing in making the Third
Liberty loan campaign an over
whelming success. Every district in
the country did remarkably well by
subscribing more than its allotted
quota, but the Ninth district achiev-
ed a larger percentage of oversub-
scription on a money basis than any
other district. The broad manner in
which bonds were distributed in the
Ninth district, also Is deserving of the
highest praise. hope you will con-
vey to the bond buyers of your dis
trict my warmest congratulations on
this splendid result.-W. G.. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury"
