REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDFIELD D|S1R|CI

hanging wall side of the vein, and
other laterals will be driven from
this raise to explore the vein. The
main east cross-cut on the 19OO-fOot
level will also be extended to and
through the vein and it is at this
point that the most important re-
suits are counted upon. Wines
sunk from the 1750-foot level, to
further determine the position and
dip of the foot-wall, have exposed
seams of ore that have yielded high
assays in gold and copper.
Red Hill Florence
Production has begun at a good
rate from the Red Hill Florence
mine, with every indication that the
output will be continuous and highly
profitable. A carload shipped this
week to the Hazen sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company
contained ore of two grades; run-of-
mine ore broken in development
work and averaging over $50 per
ton, and a number of sacks of high
grade ore, from the bonanza winze
below the 40O-foot level, average
samples of which assayed around
$4,000 per ton. Manager ]. B. Ken
dali reports the mine in excellent
condition, with ore of shipping grade
exposed in considerable quantity on
the 800, 400 and 500-foot levels, as
we'll as in the winze below the 400
level. Stopping will now be carried
forward, by extending this winze
along the strike of the vein.
Grandma Consolidated
The main shaft of the Grandma
has now reached depth of over 500
feet and is in the quartz zone mark
ing the contact between the latte
and shale, but has not yet reached
the shale. Apparently the distance
to the latter is not great and when
this point is reached, which may be
within the next few days, a sump
will be sunk in the shale, a powerful
pump will be installed, now on the
ground, and extensive lateral work
will be conducted in a search for
bodies of commercial ore. Zinc has
been found in considerable quantity
in narrow seams in the quartz, to-
gether with iron pyrite and small
quantities of copper, indicating the
approach to the heavily mineralized
contact zone.

Tho more you ponder the p&stora f Berlin on Sunday recently tn. more incomprehensible 1t appears.
 i've will comfort ourselves s> Christians toward the enemies" read tho letter, "and conduct the war, in the future. as in the past, with human ity and chivalry."
 This utterancs, which would hay, been amazing whom standing by itself. in view of Gsrmany's we'll known con duct of the war, happen i'd to reach the outer world just after the news rspor of the sinking of the British merchant man Belgian Prince. Every news paper reader is doubtless familiar b, thls time with that particular exhibi- ,ion of Humanity and chivalry.' The German commander, after placing the helpless crew on tho Uboas deck smashing thsir lifeboats and stripping of their clothing, ran couple of miles and then submerged, drowning 3S of shem-including four Americans, ac cording to later reports.
 The Holland newspapers immedi- stely printed this story and the Berlin pastoral letter in parallel columns. The rest of tho world naturally followed their example.
 What's wrong with tho Prussian mentality. anyhow? Is their special Prussian type of Christianity, different from that of all other people?

RULES FOR DisLoYALisTs

Here are ten rules of conduct for those who wish Germany to win the war According to The Independent, a careful observa- tion of these rules will enable a traitor to operate without danger to himself.
 l. When driven to make an un- equivocal statement protest your loyalty, and then change the sub. ject.
 2. Assert on every occasion that Wall street. made the war. Never mind explaining when, how, or why,
 3. Get in all the sneers you can at any professions of ideal mo- tives.
 4. It is dangerous to denounce the United States directly. But rake history from end to end for mud to throw at the Allies. Es- pecially twist the lions tail.
 s. Profess great concern lest sending food to Europe will starve America. Support every embargo movement that supplies to the Allied nations and nons that does not.
 6. If the President asks for any extension of power, rave about dictatorship" and tho "over- throw of the liberties for which our fathers, etc."

began carrying his material to the roof

begin his hard work. The cap, or top

green came next to 1t. Then there
was more dark blue down to the shin

der and surveyed the house from the
sidewalk. His art work was just boss:
no landscape painter could have
eQualed 1t. The sign on the fence was
simply magnificent. The half dozen
people who passed and repassed Mr..

contempt. This was scarcely noticed

to his work highly elated. The stripes

NEWSBOY TO RAILWAY HEAD

From newsboy to railway presi-
dent. Such is the achievement Of VIII
Fiam P. Kenney, who has Just become
president Of the Great Northern rail-
way. Louis w. Hill, chairman of the
board Of directors, will continue as
'aetiye as heretofore In the management
OF the railway system his father built.
Selling newspapers was the start
ing point Of Kenney's career, back in
the eighties. He progressed step by
;step, later becoming a Western Union
messenger boy. The clicking of the
telegraph instrument was a lure to
him. He mastered the key and became
ean operator.
That opened the way for Ken
fney's railway career. He turned his
attention to traffic and before he was
forty became a recognized traffic au-
9thority. In 1912 Kenney was made
vice president and traffic manager of
the Great Northern. He then came
unto close executive association with
james ]. Hill and L. w. Hill, who ha
keen knowledge of traffic affairs. Fro
William Kenney have been closely a

If Mrs. Bowser had not had sweet
temper she would have spent the rest
Of the afternoon in kicking over
chairs and discharging the cook. Mr..
Bowser hadn't said q word about re-

the strictest secrecy about the enter
prise. The house did not need re
painting and the idea Of having him
daubing around for week or two was
unbearable. She made no outright
demonstrations, however, but that eve
ming would bring the talk.

time and took a look into the side
