The present exceptional demand
for quicksilver in the manufacture
of illuminate gives the domestic de-
posits of this war metal particular
interest. Deposits recently discov-
cred in the southern part of the
Phoenix mountains, 10 miles north
east of Phoenix, Ariz., are described
in a short paper prepared by F. c..
Schrader, just published by the
United States geological survey.
The deposits are easy of access and,
being near the rich agricultural. re-
gion of Salt River valley are other
wise favorably situated for mining.
They are being exploited on six or
more properties or groups of claims,
which lie in a belt, about three
miles wide, that extends northeast
ward diagonally across the range.
The ores in the region are meta
morphosed sediments of pre-Cam-

future a four-drill air compressor.
which the company owns, and, with
this in operation, rapid progress
will be made.
The Gold Wedge is sinking a
shaft south of the Goldfield Mining
and Ore Reduction company ground
and a shaft is also being sunk to
the north on the Gold Reef An
ether shaft is being sunk to the
west. The seven claims have been
held by the company for many
years. The surface has been thor
oughly prospected with deep trench
es and ore assaying as high as $3.50
per ton has been found in small
quantities.
Good assays in gold may be Sc
cured at many places where the
veins are exposed on the surface,
but it is the opinion of mining men
that the principal content of the ore
will be found to be silver at depth
AS all mining supplies, food and
water are hauled from Goldfield,
operating costs are high, out it is
confidently believed that lateral
work will result in valuable bodies
of silver ore being opened that will
lead to large and profitable pro-
duction being made.
AS result of the Divide boom,
territory for several miles south of
the claims owned by the Goldfield
Mining and Ore Reduction company
has been located and in at least one
instance Tonopah men devoted their
time and labor to stalking these
claims, only to find they had wasted
their efforts on patented ground.

LEASE near SILVER PEAK
SOON TO MAKE SHIPMENT

prospecting he has done nearby,
that at greater depth the walls Of
the vein will be found well defined
and the broken material will be
replaced by shoot that will con-
tain silver ore of exceedingly high
grade. The ore extracted in sink
ing the shaft to the present depth
could be shipped at good profit
without sorting, but O'Keefe in
tends to sink the shaft deeper and
reach the hanging wall of the vein
before making shipment.
The vein has been traced on the
surface for 1000 feet. Hertzer and
O'Keefe have located seven claims
adjoining those they hold under
bond and lease and other men have
staked claims for long distances.
Good progress is being made by
the lessees, considering the diff
culties under which they are min
ing. Supplies have to be hauled
from Goldfield and the nearest wa
ter is at Railroad springs, nine
miles distant. Wood is hauled
from Montezuma.
The claims are owned by j. E..
Peterson and X. Lukeman, Gold
field men, who located them last
summer.

Frank Hertzer and Dan O'Keefe
now have an incline shaft 25 feet
deep on the Silver Fox and Silver
Moon claims, situated 20 miles
southwest of Goldfield and nine
miles from Silver Peak. HertZer
and O'Keefe are working the claims
under bond and lease.
The shaft is sunk in the side of
a steep mountain and recently con-
siderable work has been done by the
lessees in preparation for the erec-
tion of windlass, which is now in
place. At depth of 25 feet the
vein extends over the bottom of the
shaft and samples have assayed as
high as $3.50 per ton, practically
all in silver. The formation is
broken and no attempt has been
made to secure an average assay of
the material at the present depth of
the shaft.
After spending a few days here,
O'Keefe returned to the property on
Tuesday and, after sinking the shaft
deeper, he will sample the vein and,
if the returns prove satisfactory,
make a shipment. He says he is
confident, judging from results OBJ
tanned thus far in the shaft and

Mining operations are being con-
Quoted as rapidly as could be ex-
pected under present conditions at
the property of the Goldfield Min
ing and Ore Reduction company,
situated in the Divide district and
one mile southeast of the Tonopah
Divide mine, which is rapidly de-
veloping into one of the big silver
gold mines of the country. The
seven patented claims owned by the
Goldfield Mining and Ore Reduction
company comprise the only ground
owned by other than Tonopah men
in this part of the Divide district
and they extend for a distance of
5000 feet along what is said by ge-
ologists who have inspected the
ground to be a continuation of the
ore-channel in which the great ore
bodies have been opened in the To-
nopah Divide mine.
Two shafts were sunk in pros
pecting work and conditions found
led to the main working shaft be-
ing sunk by Marvin Arnold, manag-
er for the company. Three well-de-
fined veins run through the ground,
200 feet apart, and it is the plan
of Manager Arnold to sink the main
shaft through the Gaping and then
explore the three veins at depth.
The main shaft is now in quartz
and, according to mining men who
visited the property recently, indica-
tions are that good orebodies will
be found at greater depth.
The equipment includes 25-
horse power Fairbanks-Morse gaso-
line hoist, large head frame and
blacksmith shop. The buildings
are substantial and near the shaft
is bunk house in which every pos

DRIFTING SOON TO
COMMENCE IN
GRANDMA

Work in the Grandma has reach
ed a point where drifts, to run
northeast and southwest on the sur
face of the shale, can soon be start
ed. The drift to the northwest will
be continued for a distance of 200
feet, or until the Grandma-Kewanas
boundary line has been reached, and
this will be made the main working
to explore this territory.
The starting of these drifts has
been awaited, as it is felt that the
work will be done in territory that
will eventually be shown to contain
valuable ore bodies, the opening of
which will result in the making of
a big mine.
Some of the richest ore ever
mined in the district has come from
places near the depression in the
surface of the shale in which the
drifts will be driven and over $2,-
100000 worth of high-grade ore
was taken from the Jumbo Exten-
sion mine, short distance south of
the Grandma. Secondary deposits
are believed to have formed in
this depression and it is the theory
of geologists that important ore
bodies will be found in the Grand
ma.

TON0PAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

All the ore treated by the Bel
mont mill during September came
from the Wandering Boy mine. the
Desert Queen workings having been
closed during that month. There is,
however, some second-class ore
which has accumulated on the
dumps near the Desert Queen shaft,
and the Jim Butler company has
lately made arrangements to ship
this material to the Belmont mill
for treatment, the better prices for
silver now obtainable rendering this
ore available for milling.
Belmont
The earnings of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company, as a
result of mining and milling opera
tiOns during September, amounted
to SAL 1860, this being produced
from the mining and milling of
S103 tons of ore.
The statement makes complete
the earnings of the company for the
third quarter of 1918, which totaled
$150,1S1. The first quarter of the
year produced profits of $190,971,
and the second tri-monthly period
resulted in earnings of $189,612.
The grand total of earnings for the
nine months of the present year
were $530,754, an equivalent of
over 35 per cent on the total capi-
tai stock of 100000 shares, all of
which is outstanding. 1t will thus
be seen that the earning sfor the
etnire year should be in the neigh
bOrhoOd of As per cent on the par
value of it's stock, or about 20 per
cent on the present market value
of the stock. which is steady
around $2.40-$2.50.
North Star
The crosscut on the $50 level of
the North Star, which runs toward
the Mizpah fault, has made the US
ual progress, according to the re-
port of Supt. Lowe. Several string
ers of quarts have been cut during
the week. The crosscut still has
some distance to go before reaching
it's objective, which, according to
calculations, is about 30 feet ahead.
The showing on the 900 inter-
mediate level is excellent. There is
about three feet of ore exposed on
the vein under the Mizpah fault,
this having been developed by
means of the drift. Up to the
present this has been the only de-
velopment on the vein, there hav-
ing been no raising done as yet to
block out the ore.
Halifax
The development work under way
at the Halifax Tonopah particular
ly with reference to the small vein
recently discovered on the 11-foot
level, has shown no change in con-
ditions recently. Crosscut No. l1OS
is making good headway, but moth
ing of Importance has been disclos-
ed. A limited amount of progress
was made in 1112 raise, which is

MANY NEVADA MINES ARE
PRODUCING At GOOD RATE

Ore carrying gold and silver to
the value of 500 per ton, according
to reports, is being taken from the
Gem Five laiaes in Humboldt coun-
ty and shipped through Winnemuc-
ca. Most of the ore is being pro-
duced by lessees. Recently ship
ment of 40 tons was made by M. D.
Farrata, John Bose and James Rob-
insOn.
According to President j. A. Spik-
er of the Unionville Mining COM
pany, which owns large acreage
at Unionville, a six-inch ore-shoot
was opened recently that assays
over $3.50 in gold and silver. 1t is
believed this discovery will provide
ample funds with which to COM
plete construction of a mill on the
ground, the foundations for which
are already in place. 1t is expect
ed that the first unit of so tons
capacity will be operating before the
first of the year. Large bodies Of
milling ore are ready for treatment
in the plant.
The mill of the Rochester Com
bined Mines company at Packard
was started a short time ago and is
said to be proving satisfactory. 1t
is expected that in another week
200 tons daily will be treated. Good
ore continues to be opened at q
number of places in the mine.
The Wolverine mine, in the Har-
mony range, east of Winnemucca,
has been bought by G. B. Williams
for southern interests. The Wolver-
inc is a copper mine in which con-
siderable development work has
been done.
Wheeling, w. Va, men, operating
property adjoining the Atkins-Kroll
group, near Sodaville, in Mineral
county, have exposed large bodies
of tungsten ore, according to re-
ports from there. No shipments
have been made, as the ore is be-
ing saved on the surface to await
completion of mill that is nearly
finished. The plant will treat 60
tons daily and is constructed so
that the capacity may be readily in.

The famous Trinity mine, which
is said to have produced several
millions in silver ore many years
ago, is to be reopened by Frank
H. Wilson of Lovelock.
The tonnage continues normal on
the Comstock. Las tweek the out
put was of higher grade than usual.
The Mexican mill treated 143 tons
of ore from the Union Con. assaying

STEEL AND IRON MEN
PREPARING FOR PEACE

According to the Boston News
bureau the steel and iron industries
are now adjusting themselves to the
conditions they will have to meet
after the war. 1t states that while
a number of details are to be work
ed out, the @eight-hour basic day is
now in essence established in iron
and steel. Collective bargaining,
announced by Midvale and Lukens,
may possibly be adopted by some
other producers.

cleanup of September, when 25 bars,
weighing 1865 ounces, were sent
to the smelters.
1t is apparent from the figures
reported that better grade of ore
is being put through the mill, as
the production has not varied to
any great extent in the bi-monthly
period which has just passed, in
comparison with other periods of
equal duration. The weekly reports
show, with unfailing regularity, that

down to the 1850 level, no misgiv-

STOCK MARKET

New York, June 1S-Opening: In- dustrials, equipments, coppers and especial war issues registered gains of to 2 points at the opening of to- days stock market. United. States Steel led the advance on further free buying, together with Bethlehem, Crucible and Midvale Steels. Ship pings were little more than firm and tobaccos moved irregularly, Sumatra losing points while United Cigars gained a point. Other strong feat lures included Reading, Union Pacific and oils.
 Noon-Prices reacted very gener- ally before the end of the first hour, the French war bulletins causing nasty profit taking by cautious trad CTS. Sumatra Tobacco extended it's reversal to four points, United States Steel cancelled half it's gain and other prominent stocks eased pro- portionately, after which the market lapsed into it's recent dull state. A moderate rally occurred at midday on renewed buying of investment rail- roads. Liberty 315 S sold at 99.62 to 99.70, the first As at 94.6S, the sec ond As at 94 54 to 94.62, and the 4 s at 96.70 to 96.76. Paris 6s continued to yield.

JULY FOURTH
 PARADE HERE
 BIGGEST EVER

The parade to be held in this city July Fourth will be one of the largest ever seen here. It will differ from any previous parade in that partici- pants have always been divided ac- cording to factory affiliations and in- dustrial activities. This year, how ever, it will be absolutely patriotic in character, and the only flags and em- blems to be carried will be the ban ner of the United States.
 President Wilson has made the re- quest and his wishes will be respected.
 The societies of foreign born citizens will be asked to participate, and may carry a banner of white with letters designating the order to which they belong, but no banners of color will be permitted. The parade will as- semble in the morning and will march to Seaside park where concerts and exercises will be held.
 Details of the program have not been fully worked out as yet, but the parade will start early in the morn ing and addresses will be made by able speakers. Bradford D. Pierce, Jr., president of Chamber of Com merce, who will go to Washington to- night from Boston, will confer with Senators Mclean and Brandegee in regard to the choice of speakers.
 The entire day will be devoted to enhancing the spirit of world democ- | racy and the foreign-born residents will join in the plan of self-dedica- tion to the cause to which the whole 1 country is pledged.

FOUNDRY JOINS
 WAR STAMP CLUB

Among the factories who have re- gently joined in the War Savings movement is the Pequonnock Foun- dry Go. George E. Kristen, president of the company, will personally take charge of this, and there is no doubt btu what there will be generous pur- chases made by the employees.
 A representative of the Fuller Brush Co. of Hartford, called at the office of the War Savings chairman recently for advertising matter in re- gard to the War Savings Stamps. He said their company had 1,750 repre4 sentatives in the country, and with each sale of the company's goods were instructed to give the purchaser a Thrift Stamp. The company has 46 branches throughout the country, and is most enthusiastic in exploiting the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
