ADVANCE FOR
RAILROAD men
Director General McAdoo Makes
Official Promise to All the
Workers.
TO DATE FROM JANUARY |
About Twenty Per Cent Increase, II Is
Thought, VIII Be Provided-More
Poorly Paid Men Are to Be
First Taken Care OF.

! Director General McAdoo sent mes
sage to all the employees of the rail-
road administration giving them prac-
teal assurance that they would re-
ceive a substantial increase In wages
about May 5, Immediately after his re-
turn on the completion Of the Liberty
Loan drive.
X The wage increase will date from
January 1, and the director general
passes along the broad hint that the
Increase will be four months "velvet"
and no better use could be made Of
it than In turning this to the support
Of the war, for which they will re-
ceive Az per cent a year interest.
No indication of the increase is CIV
en-. The wage adjustment board fin
ished its decision and was ready to
submit the findings to the director gen.
eral.
1t is generally believed that the ad.
vance will average about 20 per cent.
This will mean the cutting of melon
worth something like $250.000,000 for
the employees. 1t will be divided, in
view of the high cost of living, SO the
more poorly paid men will receive the
greater proportionate increase.
Director General McAdoo's sugges-
8tion that we invest in government
bonds" said an official of one Of the
brotherhoods, as unnecessary. We had
been planning to do that"

GRANDMA TO SEEK

DRIFTS WILL BE STARTED I'M
MEDIATELY IN QUARTZ
ZONE

Preparations are now being made
to begin lateral development work
in the shale contact zone at a depth
OF about sos feet in the Grandma
Consolidated company's property
and this work will be carried for
ward on comprehensive scale. with
view to exploring wide area of
ground. The shaft has been sunk
well below this depth, into the shale,
in order to provide a sump of ample
depth, and the capacity of the sump
has been increased by extending a
cross-cut to the west, in the shale
At the point where the shale was
penetrated it is apparent that there
is a slight ridge or roll in the
shale's surface, condition that has
been found not uncommon, as the
contour of the shale's surface is
most uneven. The shale first ap-
peared in the southern part of the
shaft, indicating a rather flat dip to
the northwest. Drifts are to be
started at once and will be advanced
in both directions from the shaft,
following the surface of the shale
and starting in directions slightly
east of north and west of south.
These directions may change at
points near the shaft, owing to the
irregular contour of the shale. but
work will be advanced north and
south, with view to exploring
both east and west of the shaft,
particularly to the north. This ter
ritory lies in direct line with the
orechannel opened short distance
to the west in the adjoining Ke-
Wanas property and the intervening
ground will be thoroughly prospect
ed 1t is believed that the Grand
ma and Kewanas companies will de-
eide to connect their deep workings,
in order to provide air circulation
for the workings of both mines.
Mining men and mining engineers
familiar with the geology of the
Goldfield district are keenly inter-
ested in the work now being start
ed on the Grandma property, as it
is designed to prove the relation
ship of the east-dipping to the west
dipping shale and will demonstrate
whether there is any marked differ
ence in the degree of enrichment or
naturalization east and west of the

Kendall states that the property is
justifying all expectations and that
the most recent developments have
been of most encouraging charac-

The latest development of import
ance is in a raise from the 5O0-foot
level. where the miners are now
breaking over two feet of ore yield
ing average assay returns around
$100 per ton. This raise will be ex-
tended to connect with the workings
above. but the ore forms a vein or
ore-shoot separate and distinct from
the one opened by sinking winze
from the 4OO-foot level. The ore
channel is of great width here and
contains a number of parallel veins
or pay-shoots. two of which have
been opened lately.
