MINES OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE development
Manhattan Chamber Of Mines

tests are to be made.
After developing the east ORE
body from the present bottom level
of the mine there will unquestion-
ably be sufficient ore reserves in
sight to warrant the company in
either building its own mill or else
taking over one of the present mills
in the camp and ~remodelling same
and installing whatever process is
determined up as the result of
the tests above mentioned.
Due to the flattening out OF the
limestone belt which contains the
Consolidated east orebody, the south
east cross-cut from the fifth level
will need to be extended at least
SO feet and possibly 70 feet before
reaching the point in the limestone
where the orebody will be
tered. A recent underground sur
vey establishes these facts. The
change in the formation bedding
planes shows a %flattening of from
10 to Is degrees more than the
third level shows.
+ These same conditions have re-
Gently been demonstrated in the
White Caps operations in driving
for their shaft orebody, except that
in the White Caps the change was
even more pronounced. From the
fifth level of the mine the north
cross-cut has reached a point 80
feet from the shaft and should
reach the footwall of the Zanzibar
limestone in a few feet.
Probably the same heavy flow of
water which was encountered in
the shaft just below the 56U-foot
point will be encountered in this
north cross-cut upon reaching the
pumping facilities of the Consoli-
dated are such that a flow of 49,
900 gallons of water per day can
be handled to the surface. At pre-
sent the mine is making 55,OOO
gallons per day.
The indications are favorable for
an entirely new orebody being EN-,
countered upon the footwall of the
Zanzibar limestone. This limestone
is all heavily m~ineralized, and the
fact that the water flow comes from
it's footwall adds to the probabili-
ties of an orebody being found
there.
The Consolidated was visited
during the week by j. H. Miller,
the president of the company and
c.. C. Boak, secretary and one of
the heavy stockholders.
White Caps Extension
In the Extension from the shaft
a total distance of 485 feet of lat
eral work on the fourth level has
been run. The, weeks progress is
given as 80 feet. Since crossing
the limestone belt there has been
III feet of drifting along the foot
wall of the limestone.

the difficulty of obtaining good air

strong hopes of obtaining results of
a favorable character within a very

ARMY DOCTOR HAS
AN EXACT|NG
POSITION
RUNS GREAT RISKS But HAS
LITTLE PLEASURE IN
WAR

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, May
29.-One of the unsung heroes Oh
the war is the military surgeon. NO
man has been harder worked in the
tremendous fighting of the past
few weeks, and his work has been
in most cases far from pleasant.
There is not the same romantic
stimulus for the medical MAI thai
there is for the infantry or artillery
officer. 1t is one thing to dash
about under fire intent on killing
or being killed; it is another thing
to dash about under fire and take
the same risks while calmly attend
ing to those with wounds from
which all other men as they pass
avert their heads. Thank God, L
am not a DOCTOR" said an officer
who had been detailed to inspect
a number of .improvised casualty
clearing stations along the front
during a recent attack.
The regimental surgeon in the
British army has in his charge the
weIl-being of more than 1000 men.
When there is no fighting on, he
has plenty to do. He has to strike
a happy medium in encouraging
the faint-hearted, who come to him
as 4 means of obtaining a fort
nights rest, and in holding out a
helping hand to those who are in
real distress. If he is too lenient,
the commanding officer begins to
ask whether he intends to deplete
the whole regiment; if he is too
harsh the junior officers and men
lose patience.
The doctor is the only officer in
the regiment, however, who is the
fortunate possessor of a cart, but
this leads to numerous cOmplica-
tions. There are some 80 odd Off
GERS in the regiment, and each one
of them has some few trifles which
must go into that cart. If he is
weak enough to take them, the car
is overloaded and before long breaks
| down and precious medical stores
have to be abandoned. If he re-
fuses to take them, his position in
the officers mess becomes wellnigh
unbearable.
The doctor doesn't ride, but
"foot-slogs'' it with his regiment
through the anne mud, the same
wind and rain, and the same perils.
His duties are not confined to car
ing for the i'll and injured. He
n ust supervise the sanitation of
camps and billets, ensure the purity
OF drinking water, keep a lookout
for outbreaks and epidemics, main
tain a continuous campaign sof in
EQUATIONS and vaccinations, and fill
out a long series of records and
army forms. He has to do his ut
post in the light of his special
knowledge to maintain the health
of his unit, and any remissness on
his part may lead to a serious di-
minution in it's strength.
In billets he has the added duty
CT playing the role of medical at
tendant to the villagers, as all the
French doctors in the country dis
tricts have gone

Embargo on Spuds

A statewide embargo on new
potatoes, to become effective at
once and to last until June 80, has
been declared by the state food
administration and the California
administration has requested
wholesale men in that state not to
ship new potatoes into Nevada I'M
til June 30. 1t is said news of the
embargo caused farmers to imme-
diately raise prices and the food
administration has announced that
the embargo will be raised at the
first hint of an attempt to raise
prices.

ing stopped at this point. The ore
breaks from $500 to $3.50 and has
been sorted so that the shipment
will assay from $500 to $500.
The ore that is being stopped on
the 100-foot level in this lease was
also opened on the 50-foot level,
where it was found to be two and
one-half feet wide and of about the
same grade as when cut so feet
deeper. When found on the upper
level picked samples were taken that
assayed from 1000 to 5000 ounces
in silver.
With money that will be received
from their shipment, McDermitt and
Jester plan to further explore this
ore-body at a depth of 200 feet.
Adjoining the ingalls, mine on the
south are claims owned by Herbert
Jester and Fred Fields, Goldfield
men, which are being worked under
lease and bond by Henry Stannard.
Ed THEM and A. Giles. These
claims are known as the Silver Bell
No. 1 and Silver Bell No. 2.
When these three men started
work two weeks ago at the bottom
OF a 3O-foot incline shaft on the
claims, they drifted north and south
on the vein and in each drift, 20 feet
from the shaft, they are now sack
ing ore from shoots that are Is inch
es TO two feet in width. The sacked
ore assays $3.50 per ton and the
lessees plan to ship several tons on
the wagons hauling for the men
working the ingalls, property. Tie
lessees are now working their
lease with a ~windlass, but they plan
to install, a small gasoline hoist in
the near future.
The men working the two proper
ties have constructed a well-equipped
camp a quarter of a mile from the
workings, where a windmill has been
erected over a we'll, providing a sup
ply of good water ample for their
needs.
The vein on which the lessees are
working can be traced on the sur
face for 5000 feet and is from 10
to 25 feet wide. The high-grade ore
that is being mined from it is found
on both the hanging and foot walls.
The ingalls, mine, owned by Sheriff
ingalls,, has been worked at differ
ent times and by different men for
a period of over 20 years and is
said to have produced well over
$1,000 before the present lessees
started work.
A number of other claims, accord
ing to Borcherding, having surface
showings equally as good as those on
the ingalls, property, are nearby, but
little work has ever been done on
them. One claim, in which Roy
White, a Goldfield boy now in the
national army, is said to be interest
ed, adjoins the ingalls, mine at the
northwest corner and is regarded as
being valuable by men who have
been in Tule canyon, but it remains
undeveloped.

Wheat Inspector For State

Plans for securing a government
wheat inspector to spend three
months in Nevada beginning Oct.
1 are being made by the state food
administration. Wheat inspectors
are employed in other states dur
ing the entire year, but there is
not enough wheat in Nevada to
keep an inspector busy all during
the year.

SEED OILS AS SOURCE OF FOOD

That seed oils valuable source of food has
been established in tests made by the United
States department of agriculture In expert
ments to determine the digestibility of oils made
from corn, soy beans, sunfiower seeds, Japanese
mustard seed, rape seed, and charlock seed-oils
not now commonly in use-the United States
Department of agriculture found that they are
well assimilated and in value compare favorably
with other vegetable oils. These digestion ex-
periments are part of the series which is being
conducted to determine the digestibility of
various foods. During the test period (three
days., in which the oils referred to constituted
practically the entire sources of fat the subjects
ate on an average SO to 90 grams per day and did
not report any i'll effects.
To judge by their digestibility, these oils, ac-
cording to the bulletin should prove satisfactory
sources of fat for the dietary.

HEADGEAR FOR THE ARMY

Every now and then somebody publishes a
statement that the overseas cap is likely to sup
ersede the campaign hat throughout the Army
says Army and Navy Journal.
While the value and adaptability of the over
seas cap for the service for which it is now the
authorized headgear is recognized there is no
possibility that the campaign hat will be aban-
doned at present. The campaign hat with It's
wide brim was adopted after long years of study
and experience as the best available hat Tor
Army use generally in the United States and in
the Islands 1t is unnecessary to remind anyone
OF the unftness of the overseas cap for use by
our men in the hotter climates of the United
States especially in the desert country of the
Southwest where very large part of Army now
in this country is likely to remain for some time
to come.
Discussion of the Army headgear question has
brought out few advocates of the adoption of
helmet somewhat similar in type to that worn
by British troops in tropical countries.
1t will be recalled that some extensive exper4
inents were made with helmets during the
earlier years of American occupation in the Phil
lipines but the consensus of opinion was finally
against the use of the helmet and the cam
paign hat was retained. There is every reason
to believe that the overseas cap which is being
made in quantities for in France by the A. E.
r. will be retained fro that service, and it may be
issued to troops Immediately destined for service
abroad; but the old familiar and useful cam
pagn hat is likely to remain with US in most Sec
tions of tie United States as part of the
American soldiers uniform for great many
years to come. or until something that will prove
a material Improvement upon it is found.

ROTiRIhHS SEND
MAGAZINES To MEN
IN CAMP ABROAD

American soldiers in training at a
camp in the north of Ireland, will be
supplied with large number of popu-
lar magazines, furnished by the Pen
sacola Rotary club.
The appeal came from Rev. j. H.
Brown, in a letter to Capt. j. A. Mer-
rift, and was brought before the Ro-
tarians at yesterdays luncheon by E.
r. Malone.
Mr.. Brown explained the need of
ample reading matter for the men and
stated that the out-of-date magazines
received at the camp where he is sta
toned is not sufficient to fill the re-
quirement.
The Rotarians decided that instead
of sending magazines which had been
read. they would subscribe to nr<-l-
Der of publications and have them
sent directly TO the camp
Each Rotarian contributed a years
subscription to be forwarded to the
men in training with the compliments
of the club.

NO GERMAN KING FOR US

German war lords are making kings for sub
dued portions of what was Russia They are pol
ishing up crowns, carving scepters, and hand
pressing royal robes for divers Germans princes
to wear on somewhat rickety thrones German
armies are erecting in Poland Lithuania and Fin
land. Just how long these made in Germany
kings will last depends upon the fighting now
being done on the west front and what our four
million will do there next spring and summer
This business of making puppet kings, laying
out frontiers for other countries and building
thrones with controlling wires leading to Pots
dam has long been the aircastle which impelled
the Hohenzollerns to make Huns out of their Ger
man subjects.
If America had not gotten into the war when
she did and Fundamentally as she did, it is
very likely that Wilhelm now would be making
kings for Belgium, Serbia Montenegro, and
would be grooming his sons for the thrones of
Great Britain, France and the United States
And if we are defeated, should Germany so
overwhelm America, Britain and France as she
has conquered Poland, Lithuania and Finland,
you and all of US soon would learn what "Made
in Germany" king is like
! The only way in which we can dodge a King
Fritz is to fight the Huns now lover there" and
in our fields, factories, mills railroads, mines and
in our homes.

WHEAT BOARDING IMPOSSIBLE NEXT
YEAR
YEAR

Hording of wheat by disloyal owners will be
made more difficult by system of reports which
the Food Administration is requiring thrasher
men to make it was recently announced at the
headquarters of the food administration for
Kansas.
The Kansas administration is supplying record
books to each of the 10000 thrasher men in its
State At the close of the the thrasher
men must return these records to the thrashing
division of the United States Food Administra-
ton. Each farmer must show how much grain
of each kind he thrashed.
May, when it became necessary to call for all
wheat in the farmers bins, it will be simple
matter for every township administrator to check
over the farmers in his district. Elevators and
mills will keep record of the wheat sold, and by
subtracting this from the wheat thrashed it will
bin.
This system will work to advantage where a
farmer is charged with feeding wheat to hogs
and chickens. If the amount of wheat sold and
thrashed, it is certain the remainder was fed: to
live stock, after allowance has been made for
shrinkage
The thrasher mems reports also will give an
accurate account OF all the wheat in the country
at the end of thrashing. This information will
be valuable in making wheat rules for the coming
year.
