MILL MAKING RECOVERY
CONTINUED from Page one)

CONTINUED from Page One)
the shaft is not far from the water
bearing one.
In addition to ore from the mine,
the. greater part of which is coming
from the slopes on the 200-foot level,
the mill is treating some custom ore,
having lately cleaned up the best
part of the product Of the Hardwick
lease, on the west. end ofthe Orlean
property. A substantial tonnage. of
custom ore is available on sew
eral properties, the best now in sight
being that in the Dunfee workings
and the ore on dumps on the same
property.
Conditions revealed at a depth of
900 feet are regarded as highly en-
couraging. 1t was not to be expect
ed that the shaft would remain in
pay ore throughout its depth, as the
one-shoots, which are generally OF
large dimensions, have a pronounced
rake, as shown on the upper levels.
Drifts will now be extended on the
big vein and If deposits of value are
opened on this level, as confidently
expected, the worth Of the mine will
be established at a high figure.
A high extraction is now being eff
fected by the mill, ranging from 90
to SO per cent, according to the char
.iacter of the ore and it's freedom from
base elements. Minor difficulties
with the power plant are to be recti-
fled shortly by supplementing the
capacity of the oil-burning engines,
in order to provide against inter-
ruptions due to overlooking. This
will enable the company to increase
the tonnage fed to the mill and it is
expected that the plant will soon be
treating owe $50 tons daily.
Results obtained up to the present
time indicate that the company will
soon be earning substantial profits
from its operations and the handling
of custom ore will be of great adj
vantage during the progress of de-
velopment work on the present scale.
The available custom ore is of excel
lent grade, ranging from $12 to $50
per ton, and the men who are sup
plying this ore declare they have re-
ceived fair terms and c~onsiderate
treatment from the Silvermines man
, agement. Ore is being blocked out
in large quantity on various levels of
the main property and a steady and
profitable output is assured.

Poison in GauZe

On a bolt of surgical gauze opened
a few days ago in the Red Cross
workroom at Tonopah there appear
ed indistinct stains at intervals
throughout the bolt. A sample OF
the gauze was sent to the state uni
versity for examination and it was
determined that the stains were a
poisonous form of copper. The uni
veristy advised that the bolt be de-
stroyed as it would be impossible to
sterilize 1t. The firm from which
the material was received has been
notified.

MINES PRODUCE
NEAR MILL CITY
LARGE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY
Is APPARENT IN
REGION

C. T. Smith, manager of the
Fffty-six copper mine near Hum
boldt, was an arrival this morning.
He states that the Eugene noun
tains section in which the Fifty-six
is located is one of the busiest min
ing centers in the county of Hum
boldt. This activity, he says, has
been brought about by the recent
discoveries of tungsten deposits and
the opening of copper mines.
The large dykes carrying schee-
lite that traverse the district are
opening into valuable deposits of
this mineral and consequently many
are at work there and there is a
large production of tungsten ore
each day. A dozen or more big
freight teams are hauling ore, a
carload shipment being made every
day.
The ore is hauled to Mill City
and from there it is shipped over
the Southern Pacific to Toulon, near
Lovelock, where it is milled and
put in shape as a commercial pro-
duct and is sent east.
There are a number of leasers on
the different tungsten properties and
from every indication all are max
ing money. Some of the big mine
operators of the state are located
in the camp and are doing aggres-
sive development work and making
shipments.
Another estate outside of the
tungsten properties is the Majuba
Hill property. At this mine there
work going on and it is one of the
live places of the district. From
the great showings of copper ore
being opened on this estate the Ma
tuba is in line to be one of the big
copper properties in the state,
The Fifty-six copper mine, which
is under operation by Mr.. Smith
and associates, has the distinction of
being the first mine located in the
state of Nevada, and, as the name
implies, was located in the year
1856 by a party of emigrants on
their way to California. This is
another valuable property that has
been developed to considerable ex-
TEN and has large deposits of cop
per ore carrying gold and silver
values.
Owing to the great mining activ-
ity in that section, Mill City, on the
railroad, has become quite a busy
place and the store and hotel there
are doing a big business. INLAY,
another nearby railroad town, is
also being benefited by the mining
activity in that section.-Humboldt
Star.

PREPARING TO SHIP
FROM BIG COPPER STRIKE

]. r. Brown, who is interested
with Phil Blume and Ed Knight
in the Liberty Bond group of cop
per claims in Buffalo valley, on
which a big body of high-grade
copper ore is being uncovered, was
an arrival from the camp yester-
day. He says there has been no
e~xaggeration of the extent or rich
ness of the strike and that the ole
body is even larger than was first
reported. The development work
is proving a body of ore that is
now six feet wide and is getting
wider with every round of shots.
Brown says that there is now
over 100 tons of shipping ore on
the main dump and that arrange
are being made for ore

is showing a continued gain. The
life of the child was dispaired of
last week, but 1t has of late shown
renewed life and fooled the doctors
who have been attending her. The
baby is making such rapid strides
toward health that its mother plans
to leave the hospital where the child
was born in a few days.

Drafted Man Jailed

Harry Kemper of Ely, a young
man in Glass One for the selective
draft was recently put in Jail on
complaint of a recruiting officer,
who stated Kemper told him, al
though he had enlisted through the
recruiter, that he would not enter
the army until he was ready, which
might be 10 days or not at all,
Kemper was charged with attempt
ing to provoke an assault upon the
officer by abusing him. At the trial
testimony was offered to prove that
Kemper was a pro-German and he
was found guilty by a jury and
sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and
serve six months in jail.

an examination of the Serita prop
erty, owned by Stall brothers, and
is reported to be negotiating for
control of adjacent territory. The
Cerita is equipped with a modern
mill and electric power plant and
has yielded high-grade ore. An eX-
tensive tonnage of profitable ore is
reported in sight.-Humboldt Star.

"Ground Glass" DissOlves

A substance thought to be ground
glass was found in a can OF jam by
a Tonopah man and turned over to
the police for investigation. A ply
stefan had pronounced the substance
glass, but the police department. was
not satisfied and placed the glass
in acid, with the result that it was
dissolved. 1t is believed to have
been crystalized sugar and it is
again safe for Tonopahns to enjoy
jam on their war bread without fear
of playing the leading role at a flu
neral.

MAY PENETRATE vein

CONTINUED From Page One)
INT found in the west vein have
tnair source in the main vein, find
ing an outlet through open assures
or fractures in the quartz zone. All
these features are taken to indicate
hat the point of junction of the
two veins marks a Zon of second
any enrichment that may be found to
contain valuable deposits of ore.
In the course of development work
above this depth, from the 400
down to the 175O-foot level, large
bodies of low-grade gold-copper ore
were exposed, together with consid-
erable quantities that could be
shipped profitably. In fact, a num-
Der of carload shipments were made
to the smelters and yielded a profit
when copper was selling at only IL
or 10 cents.
High freight and treatment charg-
es rendered the margin of profit so
small, however, that it was deemed
better policy to hold this ore in
the mine until such time as facilities
could be provided to treat the prod
uct locally. War conditions have
precluded even the consideration OF
means to treat OF market this ore,
but it is believed that eventually a
large tonnage will be treated here
by flotation, resulting in substantial
revenues to the company.

BOYS AND GIRLS TO WORK.
Have Their Quota to Raise in Allied War
Work Drive.

jew or Gentle, Catholic or Protestant
every boy and girl in Vermont is to be
given an opportunity to serve on the
great home firing line when the united
war work campaign is launched Nov. ii
in behalf of the Salvation Army, the Ma
tional Catholic War Council, the Jewish
Welfare Board, the Y NJ. G. A. and Y. w
@, A., the War Camp Community Service
and the American Library association
Two distinctive organizations, formed for
the express purpose of uniting the boys
and girls of America in the greatest free
will offering in history, offer unique
campaign advantages, and the process Of
forming the Victory Boys" and "vic-
tory Girls" divisions in this state is al
ready well under way.
To take charge of the divisional work
among the boys and girls, two leaders
whose experience with young people is
well adapted TO the work in hand have
been selected. Miss Florence NJ. Well
man, superintendent OF the Brattleboro
schools, is at the head Of the Victory
Girls division, and r. @. Reynolds of the
Vail school at Lyndon, who is state di-
rector of the United States boys work
ing reserve, of the federal department of
labor, is in charge of the Victory Boys
division. To every town and city in the
state they are looking for close cooper
alton among the junior citizens of the
republic, and if the enthusiasm shown
thus far is an indication of what is to
follow, anything may be asked of the
boys and girls of Vermont.
The state quota is S20,2s0 for each di.
vision, but neither the boys nor the girls
are going to be contept with raising this
amount for its goal Five dollars from
5000 boys and girls each, or $4,000 il
the mark each division has set for itself,
and to double their quotas $4,000 pledge
cards will be circulated among the boys
aud girls of each division. Every boy
between the ages of IL and is, and every
girl between the ages of II and 20 must
serve in his or her division, if the goal is
to be realized. Earn and Give" is the
slogan of the campaign, as it is being
developed by the Victory Boys and the
Victory Girls. They have been fired with
the enthusiasm that is animating their
elders in their determination to make
vermont's gift to the seven constituent
organizations in excess of a half-million
dollars. In the words of DR. Mott, direc-
tor general of the campaign throughout
the nation: 'In these greatest days in
the life of our generation, it is great
thing for the boys and girls who are to
be the leaders of tomorrow to be the
heart Of this magnificent enterprise"
Everywhere the directors of the two
divisions are encountering splendid
spirit of cooperation. The Catholic
church in Vermont is making a special
effort to lend the assistance of its boys
and girls, and Protestant churches are
matching that effort. Every phase of
juvenile activity in Vermont is to be
covered by the work of the two divisions,
and when the final returns from the
campaign of Nov. II to Is are canvassed
it will be found that the Victory Boys
and the Victory Girls were two of the
biggest factors in the drive.

AID TO COMMON PEOPLE
Says Sec. Wilson, Telling of Legislation
Enacted BY Congress.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 3l.--Secretary
Wilson in statement to-day advocating
the return Of Democratic majority in
Congress in the elections next Tuesday,
said:
The real reason for the partisan ac-
tiyity of the reactionary Republican ele-
ment is that more Legislation beneficial
to the great mass of the common people
has been placed upon the statute books
and more sympathetic understanding
of the rights and responsibilities Of labor
has obtained during the administration
of President Wilson than in all of the
preceding administrations since the close
of the Civil war. feel sure the workers
Of the country win respond to the presi-
dents appeal for a Democratic Congress
that will give him the benefit Of the
judgment Of constructive rather than OBJ
structive criticisms, in conducting the
affairs of state
