PRINCE GEORGE BEING
 WORKED BY LEASERS

Leasers are now operating the old Prince George, at Stockton Hill and getting excellent results. The men holding the lease are Ed Perham, Walter Fuller and Bill Tasse. These men are at work in the old workings and getting rich silver ore. From the upper part of this ore body thousands of dollars were taken in the years gone by, the vein at that point being 13 feet wide and carrying values of about 22O ounces silver as broken down. Below this point the vein faulted, the ore going down on each side of the fault, but now coming in across wide area. The ore shows rich in native and ruby silver. The big tunnel is to get under this part of the vein at a depth of about 600 feet, where crosscuts will be run from wall to wall. When the bore reaches the ore body the work of extraction will be simplified, all waste and ores being dropped down through a glory hole into ore pockets.
 The driving of the tunnel, which will be under way about the first of October, will reach the main ore bod ies of the property in about ten months, after which all shipments will be through the tunnel, cutting out the haul from the top of the mountain and saving large unnecessary expense.

Corporals Budwesky and O'Ha- "a, of the Headquarters detach- ment, Washington, are both of the legal profession and are fond of discussing intricate points on the statutes. O'Hara, who has been attending Georgetown, got up af- ter one of these discussions late ly and remarked:
 "Well, I must be going; l I have a case at home l must ab- sorb to the last detail"
 Quartermaster Sergeant Smith, overhearing only this last remark, looked up in surprise.
 "Do you know" he remarked, "that l never thought that fellow touched a drop"-Marines' Mag azine.

STANDARD MINERALS co. STRIKES ! l-2 Fl. YEIN OF
 GOOD ORE ON 300 Fl. LEVEL

The drift from the 300 east on the Standard Mineral property, east of Kingman has passed through the vein and the first round of holes was started on the drift yesterday. The vein shows 1-2 feet of good grade molybdenite, also carrying a small amount of copper. This property has been operated steadily the past four or five months by the new company and the shaft sunk to the present depth. The vein to the west was cut and some drifting carried on along it's trend. The crosscut was run to the east approximately 75 feet before reaching the vein, which outcrops strongly on the surface. As soon as the drift is carried along in both di- rections sufficiently to. allow of the further driving of the crosscut work on that opening will be continued to cut the other vein throughout the min eralized section between the shaft and camp. This territory has not been entered by development and surface indications point to it as the best part of the estate, from a point of molybdenite bearing ground.
 The Standard Minerals company has splendid property and with more extensive development ought to make possible large output of the rare mineral.

ROPER PROPERTY IN CALIFORNIA NOW
 IN GOOD VALUES

A letter from the young son of George Roper, who is at the mines now being operated by the father at Maruba, California, in the New York mountains, disclosed the fact that the company, recently organized to take over the properties, is equipping the mines with machinery and will soon be sinking to depth on the largest ven of the group. The hoist has been placed on the shaft and sinking below the present level will soon be under way. The shaft is now in high grade copper, with molybdenite showing in some of the ore. Native copper shows in the seams and the whole mass ap- pears to be quite rich. MT. Roper has been at the mines the past year and believes he has one of the biggest propositions of the country.

RICO EXPLORATION co.
 NEAR 200 Fl. LEVEL

The shaft on the Rico mine is still going downward and as soon as the 200 foot level a crosscut will be driv- en across the vein and may be car ried into the other veins to the south of the main ledge. The various open ings in the property show that the property is an excellent one and that with proper development it ought soon be in the shipping list. w. w. Lewis. who has been looking after the finan- cial end of the property, feels sure that he has at last landed winner.

SILVER LEGION WILL SOON SHIP SOME ORE

A lease was recently taken on the Silver Legion mine, at Stockton Hill, by G. w. Brady, A. J. Davidson and w. o. Davidson, and they now have nearly a carload of ore ready to send forward to the smelter, which is said to be rich in gold, silver, copper and zinc. Owing to the character of the ore market is not readily obtained, but it is probable that smelters will take it, although exacting a penalty for the zinc. The ore body now in sight might be extracted and milled to good advantage. The men report that they now have an excellent showing in the property. The Silver Legion is one of the group of the Arizona Butte, north of the Banner, and is in one of the best mineralized sections of the Stockton Hill camp.

HAMME MINES TO
 RUN LONG TUNNEL

J. A. Hamme, who promoted sever- al big groups of mining claims in the Cedar Valley mining district, this county, and who has been operating them for the past two years, was in Kingman few days ago on business connected with the mines and reports that financing is going on steadily in the east. It is the intention of the company to drive a deep tunnel on in to the main veins of the group and open the whole mineralized area at depth. The milling plant is to be re- moved to a point below the mouth of the tunnel, where the water can be readily carried from the source in Crow Canyon. The veins will also give supply of water through the tunnel and enable the milling plant to be operated continuously.
 The company has a big estate of mineralized ground, which has been opened by shaft and tunnel to a depth of several hundred feet. The new tunnel will cut the veins nearly 1000 feet below the apex of the veins, and owing to the contour of the country will not take an exceptionally long tunnel to do the business. In the deepest shaft the ore shows up in exceptionally high grade and it is taken for granted that it will increase in value and dimensions with depth, as has all other veins in the dictrict.
 MT. Hamme is now in Los Angeles conferring with his company asso- ciates and expects soon to have mat ters running at high speed at the mines.

On their arrival in London they were

Carried ESQ Persons.
The number of persons on board the
vessel was about $50. One Of the ships
officers told the Associated Press that
the Americans had conducted them
were the better able to do this because
they had spent most of their time
aboard the ship in military drills and
daily and nightly lifeboat drills. Every
man knew his station and duties as If
by instinct.
Destroyers were sent Immediately to
the rescue and all the lifeboats were
picked up within half an hour.
The vessel was struck amidships
while proceeding in a large cohvoy
destroyers. 1t was proceeding at about
ten knots. in bright moonlight, when
struck. There was an immediate heavy
list and three minutes later the boil
ers blew UP, extinguishing the lights
all over the ship.
1.-The Americans behaved like veterans,
and were of the greatest assistance in
launching the lifeboats and handling
them," said one Of the officers of the
ship.
Two of the members of the crew who
lost their lives were caught below and
went down with the ship. The third man
was the ships baker, who, aftersreach-
ing his lifeboat station, went back for
his money belt.
The discipline on board the ship was
excellent. Although the time was brief,
all the boats were launched successfully.
Most of the Americans had little cloth
lost their passports and all their money.
Periscope Seen for Moment.
The submarine was not seen at the
time the vessel was torpedoed, but
several survivors told a story of a
periscope appearing for moment in
the midst of the lifeboats.
"It was said the periscope was seen
from nearby torpedoboat destroyers.
which, however, did not dare fire for
fear Of hitting the lifeboats," said the
Rev. Charles Vickery of Salina, Kan.
IF the periscope did appear it was only
for a brief moment. While the life
boats were being picked up one Ameri-
can and one British destroyer circled
the spot, dropping several depth
charges"
Gale Seeman of Los Angeles and E. C.
Pullen of New York state had narrow
escapes in getting into lifeboats. Each
caught his feet in. one of the ropes by
which his boat was being lowered. Mr..
Seeman was thrown into the water head
down with his feet entangled. but was
saved by Robert Peckham of SPRING
field, Mass. who cut the rope and
dragged Mr.. Seeman into the lifeboat.

Evan Darrenougue as Interpreter

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank DarrenOugue

an at Poet Laval Drome) in the south
of France, very unusual letter. 1t
seems that the writer met Evan j.
Darrenougue on a train, when he was
going from Lyon to Niece, about the
middle of june The woman was
travelling with her family, and as she
had son in the Balkan army she took
an interest in the American soldiers
on the train.
After telling the Darrenougues
about the friendship the people of
France feel for the Yankees, she
wrote that Evan was in excellent
health, and was then bound for Nice,
where he was to act as interpreter.
Her son had the misfortune to have
his feet frosted while on military duty
in the Balkan mountains, and for a
time it was feared he might lose the
members. The letter was written in
excellent French and, coming, as it
did, from an acquaintance of an hour,
on a railway train, to anxious parents
1000 miles away, displaying a degree
of gentility and human interest that
is rather unusual. 1t was signed
mime. L. Perot."
