development work. The mine Is now
reported to be in condition to main
tain the maximum production, and in
fact there is probably more ore in
sight than ever before. In his letter
President Percival gives some inter
esting information regarding the re-
suits of development, recovery and
value of shipments. He says:
Operations in June.
In our June development work we
have opened up feet Of good ore in
the east raise on No. level; an addi-
tional three feet of high grade ore in
the west raise on No. level; we have
four feet of good ore in the interme-
diate drift, west raise on No. s. On
our lower level, No 8, we have three
feet Of good ore in the east drift. The
ore in the drift on this level is 1856

There is much available ore on sew

keep the mill running at the present
rate for long period. Preparation is
now being made to draw ore from the
500 level. which is 200 feet above the
working tunnel. A large amount of
ore has been broken down above this
level much of it above the average
grade, and this will materially relieve
the hoist. which Is now required to
handle considerable waste as well as

On the 1900 level a good body of

Letter to Senator Borah.


Senator William e. Borah, Washing
ton, d. c., Dear Senator: Until very
recently it seems to have been quite
overlooked that gold is one of the
most essential war metals; and that
its rapidly diminishing production is
mminently menacing the world with
financial disaster.
A great portion of the worlds gold
is produced from "low grade" gold
mines in which, before the war, the
profit to the miner was only few
cents, or "a dollar or two. per ton Of
ore mined and treated. Any one of
the following causes is sufficient to
CLOSE down" these low grade gold
mines:
OD The advance in miners wages.
CD The exorbitant cost Of blasting
dynamite, fuse caps, and mining ma
chinery.
(3) owing to the high wages paid
miners in copper, lead, zinc, and silver
mines, the efficient miners are at
tracted away from the gold mines to
those mines, and the labor left in the
gold mines is only 60 per cent eff
cient.
| AS a matter of fact insufficient gold
for the worlds legitimate needs was
being produced in the years just be-
fore the present war.
The various remedies suggested to
committees of congress, |. e., to remit
government taxes on gold mines, to
build roads for the gold mines, to re-
duce freight rates. to give bonuses to
the gold miners-seem painfully in
adequate except the latter, which is
impractical and not sensible. Gold
miners do not wish to be, and ought
not to be, subjected to charity to in
duce them to dig gold
Since 1878, the standard gold dollar
has been fixed by law in this country
at a5.S grains 80 fine. which was
substantially the parity fixed more
than 200 years before.
In the meantime: The whole world
o. people has been climbing onto
higher and intrinscally more expen-
sive plane of living--evldenced best by
wages for all human labor being bet
ter rewarded, so that all classes are
clothed better, have better abodes,
better and more food, and are better
educated. This, in turn, occasions
higher intrinsic cost of all commodi-
ties which are in whole or in part the
product of human labor.
We had reached this certain higher
plane of living before our present

Great South Vein.

One of the most remarkable sur
face shoWingS to be seen ON either
side of the state line is about 500 feet
south of the Tarbox vein and parallel
to 1t. This is a massive iron outcrop
fully 200 feet wide and is easily fol-
lowed for 5000 feet The iron shows
values in lead and zinc and carries
considerable manganese which may
prove of commercial value On both
sides of the canyon this great iron
Gaping may be seen, and to see it
can produce no other conclusion than
that it covers an ore body of enorm-
GUS proportions Mining men of wide
experience who have examined it eX-
press the opinion that the real Tar
box mine will be found beneath this
Gaping. Another opinion advanced is
that the Tarbox vein and this big
south vein mark the boundaries of a
great mineral zone. Evidence of this
is found in the fact that while the
Tarbox vein has a well defined foot
wall through which it is cut from the
shaft, no hanging wall has ever been
found, although considerable cross.
cutting has been done to the south
to find it. The TarboX vein has a
dip of about 40 degrees to the south.
while the limited work on the south
vein indicates that it is near perpen-
dicular. The theory is advanced that
the two veins may come together at
great depth. But in any event the
presence Of this great south vein
brings possibilities in the develop
ment of the Tarbox that taxes the
ina pinatiOn

Change in 200 Feet.

The TarboX has ore on every level.
On the 400 much drifting was done on
ore and a Wine was sunk practically
200 feet in ore. On the 500 level where
the vein was crosscut there is an ore
shoot So feet wide of low grade mill
ing ore. The ground on this level as
we'll as above was very much crush
ed and broken, but still more favor
able for permanent ore bodies than
above. Acting upon the theory that
this disturbing movement would con-
tinue to be less in evidence as depth
was gained. the shaft was continued
to the 500 and the theory proved cor
rect The ore is apparently in place
the enclosing formation being gener-
ally solid and without the crushed ap-
pearance that characterizes the level
above. In a report following an ex-
animation of the TarboX last May,
Frank j. Davey, the engineer and
metallurgist of this city, gave the
length of the ore shoot as disclosed on
lilt oOu lGNtl as GOD Ieot, with an aN
erage width of 25 feet. An inspection
of the level shows that Mr.. Davey's
figures are conservative. He also
took careful samples of the ore and
from the assays obtained he estimat-
ed the average mineral content of the
ore at ounces silver, per cent lead
and per cent zinc, which is equival-
ent to net milling value at the mine
of $3.50 per ton based on the prices
of metals at that time. Both lead and
zinc are fully 1 cent higher now than
in May. A raise has been started
from the 500 which will prove the
continuity of the ore up to the 600.
Work has temporarily been suspended
in the raise and is being directed to
sinking the winze to the 1000, this be-
ing regarded of more Importance ow-
ing to the reasonable expectation that
it will show an even greater improve
ment in the grade of ore than is
shown in the last 200 feet.

Mill for Tarbox.

1t is apparent to one after visiting
the Tarbox mine that the one press
ing necessity at this time is a mill to
treat the ore, and to this the manage
ment is now giving its attention. As
suming that the same ore conditions
now on the 500 level extend to the 900
Mr.. Davey estimates that there are
110,400 tons of ore between the two
levels, and the amount of available
ore will without question be greatly
augmented by the completion Of the
winze to the 1000. In addition to the
known ore reserves in the mine, there
upwards of 5000 tons which give al
average assay OF 2.S5 ounces silver
73 per cent lead and 7.6 per cent zinc,
Preliminary steps are now being ta-
ken for the construction of a mill of
probably 100 tons capacity. A site has
been selected a few hundred feet be-
low the shaft at the foot of the bench
upon which the shaft house stands,
thus providing the necessary differ
ence in elevation and making an ideal
location.
The company is fortunate in having
splendid water right which will pro-
vide an abundance of water for pow
er and for milling purposes. The wa
ter will be diverted 5000 feet above the
millsite and will be conveyed to the
mill by pipe line following grade a
short distance above the creek. This
line has now been surveyed also a
survey for a dam just below the forks
OF the creek which will provide ma
tural reservoir

Inflict Heavy Losses on Ger
mans, Who Retire in
Disorder

Paris, Oct. French troops
have crossed tn Suippes rivr east
ward of Orainvilel and have reach
ed the outskirts of Bazancourt and
Boul-sur- -Suippe after svere fight
ing, it is officially announced. At
Clement-a-Arnes heavy losses have
been inflicted upon the Germans
who retired in disorder. To-day's
fighting completed the deliverance
of Rheims.
The battle north of st. Quentin
continued all day and Remancourt.
Tilloy farm and several fortified
woods were captured.
Announcement of these successes
was confined in the official state
ment issued at the war office last
night. The statement reads:
North of st. Quentin the battle
continued throughout the day. Be-
tween Morcourt and Sequehart, our
troops have taken Remaucourt, Til
10y farm and many fortified woods
and places where the enemy resisted
with furious energy. They failed to
check the advance of our troops who
conquered positions foot by foot and
took many hundreds of prisoners.
North of Rheims we have reach
ed the Suippe at number of points.
German rear guards along the river
to the south made vigorous resist
ance and launched many counter
attacks but our troops repulsed them
and inflicted sanguinary losses. We
hold the southern outskirts of Aguil-
court and the village of Bericourt,
on the north side of the Suippe.
Further to tn right we have forced
the passage of the river to the east
of Granville and have taken Pont
Givart.
"Combats no less violent have
taken place in the region of Brazen-
court and Boul-sur-Suippe. These
have permitted us to reach the out
skirts of these villages.
I'VE have debouched from the viii
lage of Betheniville, in spite of vio-
lent machine gun and artillery fire
and also have taken ground north
of st. Clemment-a-Arnes, in this re-
gion our troops in the course of their
advance had to meet very strong
counterattacks. Our artillery fire
caught enemy battalions and inflict-
ed heavy losses upon them. They
were forced to retreat in disorder.
"To-day's events have completed
the delivery of Rheims.
Atmospheric conditions on Octo-
Der 4 were not very favorable for
observation along the eastern sec
tor of the front. Thirty tons of
bombs were dropped on assem- blages
of troops, conveys and enemy bat
teries, and LOO Kilograms of pro

American Headquarters i'm France,
Oct. 7.-Americans fighting under
the command of General Gouraud
are credited with an amazing per-
formance in the fighting of Friday in
the Champagne sector. A detach-
ment, assisted by French volunteers,
under an American captain, attacked
a very strong machine gun nest on
the slopes Of Blanc Mont. which had
long held up the Allied advance. The
nest was enveloped and captured
and the entire garrison of four Off
GERS and 269 men made prisoners.
Seventy-five machine guns, many
trench mortars and several tractors
were taken. The Americans did not
suffer a single casualty.
The enemy Is throwing some of his
best divisions into the line opposite
the American front. One of these is
made up of Badenese troops. This
division is a favorite of the German
emperor. and attempted to stop the
American advance at Belleau wood
in the July offensive.

that he had decided. in accord with
his allies. to again offer peace to the
enemy. The text of the Emperor's
proclamation reads:
For months past the enemy with
enormous exertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle, often without repose, you
have had to persevere and resist n
numerically far superior enemy
Therein lies the greatness of the task
which mas Deen set for you and which
you are fulfilling. Troops of all the
German states are doing their part
and are heroically defending the
fatherland on foreign soil. Hard is
the task.
my navy is holding its own
against the united enemy naval
forces and is unwaveringly support
ing the army in its difficult struggle.
THE eyes OF those at home rest
with pride and admiration on %ne
deeds o fthe army and the navy. I
express to you the thanks of myself
and the fatherland.
"The collapse of the Macedonian
front has occurred in the midst of
the hardest struggle, In accord with
our allies I have resolved only more
to offer peace to the enemy, but will
only extend my hand for an honor
able peace. I'VE owe that to the

lives for the fatherland, and we
make that our duty to our children.
Whether arms will be lowered is
a question. Until then we must not
slacken. We must. as hitherto, exert
all our strength unwearily to hold
our ground against the onslaught of
our enemies.
The hour is grave, but trusting
in your strength and in Gods Sra-
cious help, We feel ourselves to he
strong enough to defend our beloved

Washington, Oct. From door to
door. William G. McAdoo trudged in
the rain yesterday selling Liberty
bonds.
1t was not the secretary Of the
treasury, but Mr.. McAdoo, citizen,
member of a canvassing team. who
gathered a pocketfull of signed pledge
cards from Washington residents. in
cluding President Wilson, a negro
maid. an American grocer, a score of
women war workers, a janitor. and
millionaire or two. In a middle
class neighborhood to which his team
was assigned, Mr.. McAdoo got the
most subscriptions. and those which
made him comment when his work
was done:
TITS cinch to raise billions when
folks come across like that. Plenty
of people have money to lend the
government, just waiting for the op-
portunity."
Great Haul For Liberty
Late in the day, after an hour and
half of tramping about Mr.. McAdoo
and his working partners counted UP
the total. They had little less than
S1,S00,000 in pledges. A round mil
lion had come from Bernard Baruch,
chairman of the War Industries
Board, into whose house Mr.. McAdoo
dropped on his way home. One pledge
for $4,000 bore the signature of
Woodrow Wilson, payable on a ten
months instalment plan. Another
from Eugene Meyer, a member of the
Capital Issues Committee, was for
100000. Most of the balance was
in $50 and 500 amounts, subscribed
by householders who on answering
their doorbells displayed amazement
to find tall man whom they recognize
ed as the Secretary of the Treasury.
Marietta Thompson, a negro maid
at a home for war workers, had
subscribed. but agreed to buy another

change" He went away with a
pocketfull of quarters. dimes, and
nickels.

Leo Kitzmiller Is Ground to
Death Under Wheels of
Engine at Chambersburg

Chambersburg. Oct. brakeman
cleo Kitzmiller, of Lemoyne, was in
instantly killed in the passenger
yards here yesterday morning. He
was standing along the Cumberland
Valley track talking to a conductor
when he stepped backward without
looking. A passenger engine struck
him and he was ground under the
wheels. Kitzmiller was only 20 years
old and had been in the employ of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company for five months. His body
was given in charge of local un-
dertaker, who prepared it for ship
ment to his home. His mother, who
lives in Lemoyne, and a brother and
sister, both residents of Mechanics
burg, survive.
Coroner Kinter decided to hold an
inquest, after which the body will
be sent to the dead brakeman!s
home
