of the ore body was followed in the
raise and the values as disclosed
between the levels shows an aver

1t is intended to start an inter-
mediate cross-cut from a point mid

the width of the ore at this point,
between hanging and foot-wall.
The installation of the large sta
ton pump on the fourth level Is
now being carried on and the pump
would have been in place before

large for the dimensions of the
pump station necessitating some
further excavation.
This pump is 5 by s direct drive

city of 100 gallons per minute at

there should be no further trouble
with water in the mine al by using
the large Cameron sinker in the
shaft and pumping to the 400 level
and the station pump handling the
flow from there to the surface over
10000 gallons per day can be
handled with ease. An adequate
supply of Oregon pine timbers have
teen obtained for timbering the
next fifty feet of the shaft and no
doubt before that distance is
re ached the supply of timbers pur-
chased by the Consolidated on the
coast will have reached the mine.
Three shifts of shaft miners will
be employed as soon as the sinking
commences. 1t is intended by the
n. engagement to continue the shaft
to the 60O-foot level with the COM
ing lift. In all probability when
tnat point is reached, it will be
found that the east ore body Is in
close proximity to the shaft. Be-
tween the third and fourth levels
the rake of the ore body has
brought the western limits As feet
I.earer to the shaft, at the fourth

This is due to the mud fault, which
cuts off the ore becoming smaller as
depth is gained.

WAR SUMMARY
[Republican A. P. Leased wire1

Although the Germans in Flanders and Picardy are keeping up incessant- ly their preparations for a resumption of their spring drive, there is as yet no indication that an attack on a large scale is immediately imminent.
 The big guns continue to roar in mighty duels on various sectors and here and there small bands of infantry leave their trenches in raids or small attacks, with the object of capturing pieces of terrain which may be of stra- tegic value when the big fight begins.
 The latest of these small affairs, where a bit of ground was required, has been successfully carried out by the British in the capture of the vil- lage of Ville-sur- -Ancre, on'the Amiens sector. Not only was the position taken, but with it 360 prisoners and 20 machine guns. Field Marshal Haig's own casualties were slight
 In raiding operations northwest of Albert and near Hamel, the British also were enabled to take additional prisoners and machine guns.
 That the Germans have the capture of Petrograd in prospect seems evident from their latest operations in the Gulf of Finland. Here they have taken the island of Bjorko. which lies only 90 miles northwest of the Russian cap 1 ital.
 Dispatches from Russia show that again there is considerable activity in Transcaucasia and in Persia At Baku, on the western shore of the Cas- plan sea in Transcaucasia,' the Mus sulmans and Bolshevilli have fought a battle in which, according to Moscow newspapers, 1000 persons were killed and 5000 wounded, while in Persia the Turks have occupied several towns south of Lake Urmia. The operations | in Persia may indicate that it is the purpose Qf the Ottoman forces to har- | ass the British lines of communication along the Tigris river.
 Advices from Amsterdam say tha i 14 persons were killed and a large number injured in the bombing rai( carried out by allied aviators on Co. logne last Saturday.

TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. May 19.-ConSress probably will decide this week whether it shall abandon plans for adjournment July l, in order to enact the new revenue legislation asked for by Sec retary McAdoo.
 The revenue question comes to the fore tomorrow, when Secretary McAdoo is to confer with congressional leaders. Before a decision is reached. President Wilson's views will be sought.
 Leaders as well as the rank and file of congress remain vigorously op- posed to present action unless it is demonstrated to be imperatively ne- cessary. In other respects congress is regarded in a good position for closing down in July. Two thirds of the regu- lar appropriation bills virtually have been disposed of, while the S11, 700, ,000,- 900 army and $1.500,000,000 navy bills are to be submitted early this week to the house and senate, respectively.
 The Chamberlain resolution, author izing the senate military committed s war inquiries is in position to he brought before the senate tomorrow. Leaders hope to submit compromise amendments which will remove Presi- dent Wilson's objections and still all low the aircraft. ordnance and other army investigations planned by the military committee to proceed.
 The water power and oil land de- partment measures are to be reported this week to the house.
 The woman suffrage resolution in the senate is laid aside but vote be fore congress adjourns is regarded as certain.

 Hail, hail, the gangs all here!' called one, who. out t-distanced by his company. came limping along down the rusty road under a heavy pack. Besides maneuvers and regular ex- ercises the boys are being coached to the last minute in British schools in all the tactics of modern warfare. The commandant of one of these schools told the Associated Press that the Americans are keen and quick to learn
 All over the region where Americans are billeted along with the British there are evidences of how well the Americans are getting on with the British. This feeling is displayed ev- anywhere they meet and it will aid in the success of the amalgamation of the 1 forces

WANTS RECOGNITION

PANAMA, May 1s.-El Imparcial of San Jose, Costa Rica, a copy of which has been received here. says that President Tinoco of Costa Rica, on May 29 will send the following dis patch to the state department at Wash ington:
 The present government has never been recognized by the United States. have never authorized anyone to re- quest President Wilson to recognize the government. Friends of both na- tions have striven for this without my sanction. Twenty other nations have recognized the government but I re- gret that President Wilson has not.
 There remains but one course open to Costa Rica--to continue as at pres cnt. Regarding the attitude of the United States. it is merely an incident of our diplomacy"
