Development in Goldfield mines
continues throughout a wide area
and the results obtained during the
past week have been satisfactory, ac-
Curding to the statements made by
mine managers and officials of oper-
ating companies, supported by assay
certificates and ore returns. Deep
work at several points is believed to
be nearing ore-bearing zones and it
is confidently predicted by those who
speak with authority that the next
few weeks will bring news of devel-
opments of The greatest Importance
here.
The mining industry. has been af-
fected to it's detriment in Goldfield,
as in every other mining district, by
war conditions, resulting in almost
prohibitive prices for all mine sup
plies and equipment and creating
what practically amounts to an em-
barge on mill products. Congestion
at the custom smelters of ores con-
tanning metals used in war industries
has cut off the market for mill Con-
centrate carrying base elements, rem
dering it impossible to operate oil
flotation plants on large scale un-
less such plants are equipped to
treat their own concentrate.
Goldfield mines have developed
large quantities of medium and low
grade ore that cannot be shipped
profitably to distant smelling centers
for treatment, but which eventually
will be made to yield substantial rev.
enues when it is possible to treat
this product in local plants. The
efficacy of the flotation process in
the treatment of this ore has been
thoroughly demonstrated and with
the return of normal mining condi-
tions there can be no doubt that
large tonnage of this ore will be
treated here.
Goldfield Consolidated
The company's 100-stamp mill is
treating a large tonnage of mill tall
ing, from the vast accumulation OF
this product contained in the tall
ing pond below the big plant, in ad-
dition to ore or medium and low
grade from various parts of the
mines, this product coming from the
Mohawk, Combination. Laguna. Jum-
bo, Clermont and Grizzly Bear mines.

GRAND MA SHOWS
GOOD QUARTZ
IN SHAFT
CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE
FOR EARLY OPENING OF
OREBODIES

Conditions in the main shaft OF
the Grandma Consolidated Mines
company, at a depth of over $50 feet,
are becoming increasingly interest
ing with the appearance of quartz
containing metallic elements and of
a darker color than that which has
been found mixed with the latte.
The change in character of the
quartz is regarded as indicating
that the shaft is entering the ore
bearing zone, or the shale contact
ore-channel, which Engineer ]. X.
Turner expected to penetrate at
about this depth.
Boulders and broken pieces of
quartz now showing in the shaft are
typical of the deep-level silicified
zones of the district, in which the
orebodies are found, and present
conditions stimulate the belief that
ore will be found at about this depth.
Sinking will continue, to reach the
shale proper, when laterals will be
extended to explore the contact zone,
more particularly to the west of the
shaft.
Water is now coming into the
the shaft, apparently from small fis-
sures in the silicified zone, but not
in sufficient quantity to impede the
work of sinking and it is not believ-
ed that any large flow will be en-
countered in opening and exploring
the contact zone at this point, as
deeper workings to the west, in the
adjoining Kewanas property, are be
lieved to have drained all this terri
tory. Another shift. of miners was
put to work recently and better prog
ress will now be made in attaining
the point where It is planned to ex-
plore the ore-5ea, ing zones.
Among persons who are in touch
with the operations of the Grandma
company and who are familiar with
the geology of this part of the dis
trict, the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed that the opening of the con-
tact ore-channel at this point will re-

the west cross-cut on the S40-foot
level, at a point about 500 feet
north of the main station, are said
to be in every way favorable and the
presence of broken particles of
evidence that the cross-cut is near
ing the western or faulted segment
of the contact ore-channel. There is
no means of determining as yet
whether this part of the contact
zone has been thrown by the fault
to any appreciable depth below the
eastern segment, but conditions in
the Laguna mine, adjoining at the
west, would indicate that the main
vein cannot be far below or beyond
this point 1t is the intention Of
the management to later explore the
fault plane below the deepest level.
Grandma Consolidated
Quartz of darker color, resembling
the typical deep-level ore-bearing
rock of the district, is now showing
in the main shaft of the Grandma
company, at depth of over $50
feet, and the presence of water at
this depth indicates that the shaft
has penetrated the silicified zone

garded as highly encouraging.
SandstOrm-Kend Cons.
High-grade ore is being mined by
lessees working about the old slopes
of the Sandstorm property and the
quality of some of the ore has caused
excitement among local miners,
some specimens showing quantities
of free gold. 1t is reported that re-
cent discoveries have so far stimu-
lated interest in the property that a

URGED ONWARD TO SUCCESS
According to Writer of Note, Individual
Winner Is Not Always Entitled
to All Credit.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, writing for
the american Magazine, says:
"Back of every success there is
some one person, or group of persons,
unheralded and unsung, to whom
much of the credit is due. My husband
has stood squarely behind me, always.
His belief in me, his steadiness and
his sanity and his humor have kept me
going, when, as has happened now and
then-my little world of letters has
shaken under my feet.
II sometimes think, if I were adviS-
ing young woman as to a career that
l should say: First pick your hus-
band
''it is impossible to try to tell how I
have attempted to reconcile my pri-
yate life with my public work without
mentioning my husband. Because, aft
e all, it requires two people, a man
and a woman, to organize a home, and
those two people must be in accord.
It has been a sort of family creed of
Ours that we do things together. We
have tried, because of the varied out
side interests that pull hard, to keep
the family life even more intact than
the average. Differing widely as thsy
do, my husbands profession and my
career, we have been compelled to
work apart. But we have relaxed.

Snarrow Pies.

Jacob Riis describes in one Of his
delightful essays how the good old
housekeeper in his Danish home used
to climb to the caves to rob the spar
rows nests for a delectable pie. Now
Mr.. James Hunt of Philadelphia, who
is crusading against the English spar
row, advocates the pie as the true des-
tiny Of the sparrow. He furnished the
sparrows for such pie opened in
Washington recently at a luncheon
served by the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
The guests declared that the pie was
good, and the flavor Of the sparrow
was superior to chicken and equal to
partridge Washington boys found this
out long ago in their secret sparrow
roasts, where dozens Of these tidbits
were spitted on wires before the blaze
and devoured by these food pirates.
Cleaning a sparrow Is simple mat
ter Of cutting the breast away from all
other parts and skinning. Special traps
are used for catching sparrows. These
are set near favorite rookeries and
dozens Of sparrows are caught at q

in Scranton Court.

Scranton, Pa, March 6.-Shouting

school teachers. and headed by Rev.
G. W. Weliburn, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church, one of the most
Fashionable churches of the city. made
a demonstration of approval in court
here when President Judge H. NJ. Ed
wards ordered the discharge of Mrs.
Catherine Breswitz from the insane
ward Of the Hillside home.
The woman was committed Satur-
day last on complaint of her husband,
Louis J. BreswitZ. a German, who
said she was out of her mind.
Women of the church in which Mrs.
Breswitz was quite active, as soon as
they learned of her plight, began ha-
beas corpus proceedings to have her
liberated from the asylum.
When the case came up for a hear
ing Attorney Robert Scragg, repre-
senting the woman, charged the hus-
band with being an enemy alien, a
pro-German and with railroading the
wife to the insane asylum because of
her activity in Red Cross work and
all patriotic movements.
1t was admitted that the couple had
quarreled over war topics and that
Breswitz was incensed at his wife's
patriotism. Both DR.. s. p. Long
street and Dr. W. r. Da,-s testified
that the woman is sane and not of
mental condition warranting restraint.
Mrs. Breswitz was placed on the
stand and she promptly convinced
Judge Edwards that she was mentally
normal. He quickly ordered her dis

SAY GOODBY TO DOUGHNUT
Soaks Up Fat Which Can Be Put to
Better Use, Is Judgment
of Hoover.

The doughnut is doomed, says the
Indianapolis News. Recent intima-
lions of disapproval by the food ad-
ministration of this matutinal confec-
ton might have been regarded as a
spur to conservation and q threat that
would not be carried out unless as a
last resort. Bakers are prohibited in
making bread or rolls from adding
sugar or fats to the dough during the
baking or afterward. Some difference
of opinion as to what are rolls has
given the doughnut respite, but it is
to be shortlived, according to the state
food administrator, who brings this
significant news from Washington:
This ruling gives sweet dough goods
temporary lease of life only. Mr..
Hoover has a special grudge against
doughruts. They soak up fat which
we do not need and our allies are suf-
fering for. SO dOughnuts and frying
pan foods will shortly be taboo and
we must not eat or make them until
the war is over.
Thus is the fate of the doughnut
sealed. Mr.. Hoover is known as a de-
termined man who cannot be moved
from u course which he thinks will
serve the interests of his country. The
statement, however, that the food adj
ministrator has a grudge against the
doughnut will pain many who have
peculiarly strong fondness for it as an
accompaniment of the morning meal,
though Mr.. Hoover's animus may
arise from motives of patriotism, not
prejudice.
If the government says the dough-
nut must go out of our lives, then go
it must. But there will be some natu-
raj regret at parting with an old and
fried friend. The doughnut like pie
has become part of our common life.
Many will find breakfast without sink
ers an incomplete and unsatisfying re-
past. But perhaps the abstinence will
bring better digestion and more equa-
BILE tempers.

Somehow there is nothing at all friend
ly, nor even sociable about the family
name of banded ocelot. But then cats
are always called by special names,
and not just called cat, so we should
be allowed nice extra names any
how.
