One more discovery OF pay ore
and Divide will be the big noise"
among mining districts of this coun-
try, in the opinion of mining men
throughout this region. Ore now
in sight in the Tonopah Divide mine
places that property in the front
rank of the country's silver-gold
mines. Rich ore was shipped from
shallow workings on this ground,
high up on the side of the noun
tain, above the present shaft, before
Goldfield was settled, but the open
ing of the big orebody is of recent
date.
According to figures made avail
aale by the management and by
George Wingfield, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the mine, the ore
body has been opened for a length
of over 260 feet on the 160 and
265-foot levels and in the new work
on the 370-foot level for distance
of over 80 feet, having an average
width in excess of rs feet, all OF
this being ore of relatively high
grade. The vein is nearly vertical,
with solid, well-defined walls on
the deeper level, and it is said that
extraction can be effected at ex-
ceedingly low cost by the shrink
age system.
On the 370-foot level the latest
work has more than borne out the
promise of the upper levels, both in
volume and grade of ore exposed
At this depth the main cross-cut
from the shaft passed through %
feet of ore averaging nearly $50
per ton and the foot-wall drift to
the southeast, upon cutting through
the break in the vein, exposed on
the levels above, entered ore OF
higher grade and has now advanced
over 80 feet in ore averaging above
$50 per ton.
AT a point in the drift 80 feet
from the main cross-cut, another
eross-cut was driven through the
crebody to the hanging wall, show
ing a width of "a feet of ore with
an average value throughout the
length of the cross-cut of $56 per
ton. The drift was then continued
and the last sampling of the face
returned an average of SOS per ton
in silver and gold. On this level
the gold content shows a slight in
crease and the amount of molybde-
rum appears to be negligible.
Most of the new electrical equip
ment has been delivered to the
mine and will be in operation short
ly, when development will be ex-
tended in new territory and ship
ments will begin to go forward to
the Goldfield Consolidated mill at
the rate of a carload daily. Mill
tests on a large scale prove that an
extraction can be secured of at least
92 per cent, by straight cyanidation
and without requiring any altera-
tions in the present mill equipment
The ore dump at the main shaft
is estimated to contain between
5000 and 5000 tons, averaging
around $50 per ton, all extracted in
the course of development work.
Silver appears in the form of native
silver, horn silver and in form SIM

DOROTHY. DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Wall FIower.-2.

Therefore, to the girl who isn't pop
ular with men, and who desires to be,
would recommend three. things.
First, to sit down and cold bloodedly
take stock of herself, no matter how
much it hurts her vanity. Let her ask
herself tn ,se questions:
"Am unattractiSe looking SO that a
man would not be proud to be seen
out with me? Then will enhance my
looks by getting my hair combed in
the latest wrinkle. and patronizing a
dressmaker and milliner who will turn
me out a living fashion, plate, for I
have observed that it fiatters man to
appear in public with what he calls
"a swell looking DOLL
DO I bore men with my converse
ton? Do I afflict them with prattle
about my family? Do I scare them
by making sharp speeches? Do 1 try
to hand out a line Of high proved
opinions on Maeterlinck and Ibsen to
men who never read anything but the
newspaper headlines and the sporting
page? If I do I viii learn to follow
where a man leads in talk, and become
gifted listener.
DO 1 dance well enough to make
man seek me as partner, or is
trucking around a load of dry goods?
DO I play a good game of golf,
tennis, and cards? If. L don't why
should any man wish to play with me?
1t is up to me to make myself
crackerjack play fellow"
Then 1 should advise the girl who
is not personally attractive to men to
remember that in catching flies we
must bait the trap with sugar. good
way to do is chum with popular girl.
Beau-less girls make the mistake of
Nocking with other wall flowers. They
should never do this. They should al
ways CHI pose as companions girls who
possess the power that they lack to
conjure men with.
Also the unattractive girl must bait
her trap with food. Any girl can en-
terrain herself into a sort of belledom
because in common decency a man
l.cannot accept hospitality without
making some return for it. This is
where mother comes in. 1t is moth
er's place to make her house so at
| tractive that young men will like to
come to it, and in this. way she gives
| her daughter her chance, for many a
| girl who seems unattnactive to. a man
at first, finds her to be a charmer
when he gets acquainted with her.
| Likewise many a. girl who isn't snowy
in company is seen to her best advan-
| tage against the background of home.
and with the aroma OF mothers pies
| floating about her.
| Finally, I would remind the beau
less girl Of the wisdom of striking out
into new pastures and fresh fields if
| she is not admired and appreciated in
her own home town. Many a girl,
| like the prophet, merely lacks honor
| in her own-country, and she, finds in
another environment the attentions
| from men she has always crayed and
never had.
The moral of all which is, never give
up the ship, but set sail for foreign
waters. If the fishing is poor at home.

sone thing which has not advanced
In price since the war began Is real
estate. There have been too many
profitable ways to invest money other
than in buying land. Now the situa-
ton is due to change and lively
market for lots and farms may be con-
fidently expected. 1t should make it,
self evident next spring or earlier. AS
soon as government bonds reach par
it, Is not unlikely that many small
owners of these securities will con-
vert their holdings into homes. Own
ers of real estate who have been eager
to sell, and there always are such.
probably will have little difficulty in
disposing of their property at prices
that they have been asking, during thu
coming year. Those persons who in
tend to buy will do well to act early.
An active market always IS attended
by advancing prices. This has been
well. illustrated during the war. The
only thing that can prevent lively
demand for real property is prohibi-
tive prices. Prospective buyers may
object to being held up.

Just how much of a national in
debtedness will finally be incurred by
the government as a result of the war
cannot yet be estimated. By the time
the tremendous expense of bringing
back our large armies fin abroad
has been met, it is likely our fight for
humanity will have cost us as much
as 100000 zoe, 000-an amount beyond
the comprehension of the human
mind. All the wars in the world
fought since the American Revolution,
and prior to the opening of the world
war. representing an aggregate fight
ing. period of sixty years, cost only
about $23, 200, 100000.

BUSINESS HARMONY.
foodstuffs.

1 Upon q careful survey of the situa-
ton writes E. H. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel Corporation. in
Investment News. it will be found
there are many reasons for believing
prosperity in this country will be con-
tinued.
The United States is the richest of
all countries. 1t possesses one-third
or more of the total wealth of the
world. 1t has, become the leader of
finance. and in this respect may prop
erly exercise a commanding influence,
Its natural resources are immense and
are susceptible of increasing develop
ment. If industry be protected and
fostered in accordance with its merit
the war burdens surely, even tho
gradually, will be lifted. We shall be
a creditor nation with large income,
more virile, more progressive, more
successful, wiser and better than ever
before.
And judging the future by the ex-
perience of the last few years, Judge
Gary continues, there will be dis
position on the part OF those in auth
GRITTY to assist rather than to attack
business effort. There vial be study,
reflection, friendly concern shown in
relation to the needs and requests of
enterprise and investment. Legislation
and administration will be founded on
ascertained conditions, deficiencies
and requirements. Both capital and
labor will be protected and rewarded.
Employers will lead in the effort to
promote the welfare of their workmen.
Cooperation will be seen on every
hand. Capital and labor will continue
to cooperate with governmental ad-
ministration. and the latter will recip-
rocate in every practical and proper
manner. This spirit has been exhibit
ed in a marked degree in this country
and other counties during, the last four
years. and it's benefits have been DEM
Vnstrated SO clearly that they will not
permit a return to the methods of de-
structive competition.

A NATION OF SAVERS.

While the way marks the beginning
of d new era among the nations of the
world, reshaping their destinies as
nothing has done in the last 1000
years, equally important changes will
have been enacted in the economic life
of America if the practices of THRIFT
learned by us during the bitter years
of conflict are continued in the era of
peace that has now begun.
Before the war the number of per-
sons who were drifting on without APP
parent thought or provision for the
future was alarming. Statistics COM
piled in 1915 revealed that 97-per cent
Of the people of New York state at the
age of IS were partially or wholly de-
pendent on relatives, friends or the
public for support. A survey of well
Massachusetts, showed that 80 per cent
had never saved anything. OF all the
great nations of the earth America
had the highest wage scale and the
lowest percentage of savings bank de-
positors. Our record of thriftlessness
was indeed appalling. Today our
thrift record is one of which we may
well be proud.
Only .one-half Of the families in the
United States were money savers be-
fore the war. Now every family is in
this class, writes s. w. Stratus, presi-
| dent of the American Society for
Thrift, in the Thrift Magazine.
There are at least 100000 indi-
viduals in the United States who have
learned to save money as a direct re-
suit of the war. In short, the war has
given us the greatest lesson in thrift
that has ever been taught to a nation
of people.
Before the war there were substan-
TALLY 100000 savings bank deposit
tors. Add to this 100000 depositors
in state banks which list, of course
includes many commercial accounts
100000 postal savings bank depositor,
and 100000 depositors in privat,
banks. After eliminating duplica
tons. it would likely be liberal to es
innate that there were $4,000, 0Ot
money savers in the United States be
fore the war, with not to exceed 10.
100000 families probably represented
in this number.
The fourth liberty loan was support
ed by 21,000.00O subscriptions. I
would likely be extremely conserva
tive to say that 100000 others hav
subscribed to former issues of the lib
erty loan and were unable to do so /,
the fourth loan. We can then will
safety say there are 100000 owner
, OF liberty bonds in America today. s.
, the elimination of 100000 for dupli
Gates we are not in danger of misstat
ing facts when we say that there i

try.
In addition to this it is estimated b
