VETS AND DRyS
TRY TO AGREE
HAVE PLAN INVOLVING Special
SESSION OF LEGIS-
LATURE

Nevada a bone dry" state not
later than Jan. 1, 1920, with a rati-
fication of the national prohibition
amendment at the next regular ses-
sion of the legislature are the fea-
lures of negotiations which, have
been pending for several days be-
tween leaders of the wet" and
dry factions with every indica-
ton that the two opposing forces
will reach a complete agreement
to accomplish those ends within a
very short time.
The negotiations have been con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy and
while none of those on the inside
has agreed to give any public con-
firmation to the report that such
a plan is on foot at the same time
none has been found to register any
statement savoring of a denial.
The plan involves also the call
ing of a special session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of adopting
a substitute" measure for the pre-
sent initiative act, the substitute
measure to carry a time clause,
thus removing what the "wets"
have insisted all along vas the chief
Objectionable feature to the act,
namely hat it is confiscatory in
its present form because, under its
terms it would become effective i'm
mediately after the official canvass
of the vote had been announced in
December in case it should carry.
In every other respect the plans
being discussed call for a bill to
be introduced at the special session
identical with the initiative act.
The date on which the proposed
new bill would become effective
has not been entirely agreed upon,
although tentatively fixed at jan
uary 1, 1920. This would give the
owners of stock of liquors and
liquor houses about thirteen months
time to dispose of their present
stocks and equipments.
What is perhaps one of the most
important features in connection
with the pending negotiations is
an agreement between the two OPP
posing factions to make a concert
ed effort tO defeat the Dracapt
initiative act, as under the statute
it is compulsory that the initiative
act be voted on at the next ele
tion.-Reno Gazette.

miliar with the property, the pre-
sent showing and the geological
conditions revealed at depth afford
ample justification for maintaining
the development work along pre-
sent lines for an indefinite time and
officers of the company have lost
rome of their faith in the future of
the property.
Work at present is necessarily
confined to a rather small area,
but with the completion of the pre-
liminary work now in progress, the
scope of operations will be material
ly enlarged and development will
be extended over a wide area and

suits may be expected and the next

CHILD WELFARE
MOVE APPROVED
RECORD TO BE KEPT OF PLY
sICAL PROGRESS OF
BABIES

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June II.
The Washington authorities report
that 100000 children under six
years of age will be weighed and
measured in the nationwide drive
TO conserve child life in the United
States. Men and women, physicians
n nurses who are giving their
time and experience to the move
ment are willing to take Washing
toms word for it that there are
100000. From every center
where the children are being ex-
amined and their records filed
comes the report that they ar
swamped by a flow of youngsters
whose parents are anxious to ha.r
them examined.
THE success of the drive is ex
ceeding our most sanguine expeI-
~tations," said DR.. Adelaide Brow
who is at the head of the work II
California. 1T is most encouragint
to see thai intelligent and well-to
do parents are bringing their chi
dren and are anxious to find how
nearly their offsprings approximate
the standards which have been set
This interest will be sustained
for the reason that further examin-
ations of these same children will
be made next October and then
again during the next year and COM
parsons made of the progress OF
each child during the intervals. Tie
mother who finds out that Ter child
is not making the gains that 1t
should will be told the reasons and
what she should do. A little advice
and information along these lines
NAV mean the difference between
q healthy, robust child and an all
ing one.

course in one of Nevada's secon-
Diary schools would enable him to
change his answer and, although
not an experienced miner, he would
have his chance to make good and
become more valuable to himself
and his employer, particularly at
the present time, when there is a
great shortage of good machine

Aside from the shorter courses,
he available in the schools in
courses covering as long a period
as rs weeks in some cases. These
courses will fit men to become as
sayers, mill-solutiOn men, cyanide
mill foremen, flotation foremen,
smelter foremen or surveyors, and
will enable them to qualify for
other positions that will result in
better wages and working condi-
lions.
All instruction in these institu-
tions is absolutely free and in
many cases even text books are
supplied by the, state. Nothing is
asked but the time of the pupil,
who is furnished with expert tech
nical and practical instructors.
The secondary schools have had
such good results wherever they
have been established that a travel
ing school, to visit the smaller
towns, has been started under super
vision of Professor Lincoln and
sessions are now being held in
Yerington, with V. M. Henderson,
formerly principal of the Ely
school of mines, in charge.
While the work of the mining
school instructor is at first glance
a simple one, as a matter of fact
he is confronted with many diff
cult problems, as he meets with all
classes of men and must fit his
courses to all degrees OF education
and natural intelligence. In addi-
ton he must overcome to the best
of his ability the big problem OF
floating populations in mining
camps, which d%eprives him of his
star pupils when he has them half
%~as-AJ aoI ntxyac him aloccnS In
which no two pupils are equally
advanced in any subject.
1t is to meet these conditions to
a greater degree and attempt to
maintain the interest of pupils over
longer periods through more practi-
cal and interesting instruction that
the new courses have been de-
vised.

NORTH STAR MINE
IS SHIPPING ORE
PRODUCT is SENT TO WEST
END MILL FOR TREAT
MENT

Satisfactory conditions continue to
prevail at the workings on the Ivan
pah vein, recently discovered in the
North Star mine and now undergo
ing a systematic course Of develop
ment. The work during the past
week was confined to extending the
face of the south drift and putting
up the raise from the north drift.
In the south drift the vein has
become somewhat broken up, but
still shows the usual face and val
ues. The same width and grade of
ore is being developed by means of
the raise, which has been put up
about 20 feet, and shows a very
good condition.
On the 900 intermediate level, the
cross-cut continues to make prog
ress through the large fault, and
quantities of drag ore are being
found. Though the usual rate of
speed was maintained by the cross
cut, it has not succeeded in getting
through the fault as yet.
About two carloads of ore were
extracted from the mine during the
past week, but owing to the
crowded condition of the West End
mill the shipment of the ore will be
held up until after Monday.
There was some minor prospect
ing work done on the 1050-foot lev
el.-Tonopah Miner.

way and at this depth it is the
plan of Manager Kendall to extend
the work far to the east, into the
territory under lease from the
Florence. This ground is known
to contain large quantities of high
grade mill ore and it's further ex-
~ploration may, it is hoped, result
in opening other h~igh-grade de-
posts of shipping ore.
The main shaft of the Red Hill
Florence, which is 500 feet deep,
was repaired and retimbered to the
6OO-foot level not long ago and the
station at the latter depth was
placed in good repair.
1t is the plan of the manage
ment, when work is farther advan-
ced on upper levels, to conduct a
large amount of lateral develop
ment work at the 600-fOot level of
the mine. Conditions on the 500
foot level are said to warrant the
belief that important orebodies
will be found in exploring on the
deeper level. The company's oper-
ations are being conducted with a
view to blocking out a large ton
mage of mill ore for future treat
ment here, in addition to the ex-
traction of shipping ore.

MINES OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE development
Manhattan Chamber of Mines,

The weeks development work in
the White Caps is reported as fol-
lows: Cross-cut 3O5, west of shaft,
progress is feet, total rs feet,
broke into 405 stope. The cross
cut all in limestone. No. 4O5 cross
cut made progress of 4 feet, total
22 feet, cut the footwall of the
limestone, no ore developed. West
cross-cut 500 progress 26 feet,
total 33 feet, cut the Morning
Glory fault. Raise sos progress
10 feet, total 10 feet, cut the shaft
orebody in a good grade of mill
ore.
This work from the fifth level
is being prosecuted to prepare for
ore extraction, the orebody being
so flat that raises will be extended
instead of cross-cuts to define its
limits. East of the shaft, 504 raise
progressed 20 feet for a total of
179 feet, broke into 400 sill. Raise
$40 off from stope SOC made the
usual progress in low grade mill
ore. Ore for the mill is being
extracted from Slopes 302, 404,
4O6 and from $40 raise.
All departments of the mill are
operating very satisfactorily and
the usual amount of gold bullion
was shipped for the final monthly
cleanup. Mention might be made
of the exceptional purity of the
gold bullion as refined in the White
Caps melting department. The bar
before the last shipment proved to
carry the gold at a value of $1S.46
per ounce, and the last shipment
the gold assayed in %fineness a value
of $1S.SS per ounce or 25c per
ounce more than $40 gold pieces.
Manhattan Consolidated
Exactly a week ago the great ore
body of the Consolidated was
reached by the southeast cross-cut
from the 50O-foot level at a point
about 265 feet from the shaft but
in a straight line a distance of 100
feet southeast from the 5OO-foot
station. Since the vein was entered
it has been cross-cut and the d.
mansions between walls at the
point were struck in ten feet.
The longest and largest portion
of the orebody will be found to be
west from the cross-cut between it
and the mud fault which defies the
western limits of the east orebody
and from the underground survey
should prove the ore to extend
from SO to so feet before reaching
the mud fault.
A drift to the west has been
started following the hanging wall
of the ledge. Some delay in pros
pecting the ore body has been ex-
perienced due to the temporary in
crease in the amount of water de-
veloped from the fifth level in the
mine. To be prepared to handle
this water should future work ten

sent the triplex Deming station
pump has been placed on the fifth
level. to work in conjunction with
the air driven sinking pump in rails

level from which place the water
is picked up by the new Goulds

continuing it's sinking operations,
and the shaft has O reached a
depth of 200 feet. Three shifts
are working and they are making
about 6 feet per day. A change
in the formation is occurring and
the indications are that they are
getting through the cap-rock and
into the breccia, which is the ore
bearing formation of the Divide
district.
The sinking of the shaft will,
however, be continued until a depth
of $50 feet is reached, and at this
point a station will be cut and
prosecuting commenced for the
vein, which is believed to be not
a great distance from the shaft.
Before sinking operations were
commenced, a very careful examina-
ton of the ground was made, for
the purpose of a~scertaining the best
place to put the shaft down. De-
velopment at this property will be
watched with a great deal of inter
est.
The timbering of the shaft and
the station at the Gold Zone vas
finished about a week ago. and
the laying of track in the cross-cut
is in progress. The shaft is down
2S5 feet and the cross-cut is out
a distance of $40 feet in the di-
ITectfbn of the extension of the big
Divide ledge. AS soon as the track
is all laid, active work in the cross
cut will be started up.-Tonopah

Is attracting more than passing i'll
terest, as 1t Is at the point where
some high-grade ore was exposed
and extracted by the Jumbo Junior
company, when operating this ter
ritory under lease. A drift is now
being extended from a point SO feet
down in the winze below the $50
foot Junior level and it is prob
able that the winze will be sunk to
a depth of at least 100 feet to pros
pect the vein at greater depth.
Grandma Consolidated
Sinking continues in the main
Grandma shaft, which is now down
over 500 feet. The shaft is still in
quartz of excellent appearance,
carrying much metallic matter, in
Guiding some h~igh-grade zinc, but
the shale has not yet been exposed.
The water is readily handled by
bailing, but when the shale is reach
ed and a stump cut in the latter, a
powerful pumping plant will be in
stalled at the bottom of the shaft
in order to provide against any pos
sible interruption from an increased
flow of water. Lateral development
work will be started as soon as the
shale is reached.
Silver Pick Cons.
Much encouragement has been oc-
casioned by the character of quartz
exposed at a depth of about 1900
feet in the Silver Pick property,
where lateral work has been started
by Manager G.. F. Dyer. 1t is the
opinion of Manager Dyer and 9TH
ers that a great iron Gaping has
been penetrated by the shaft and
that the quartz zone entered below
this Gaping will be found to con-
tain orebodies of great value. Cross
cuts are to be driven north and south
to explore the walls of what APP
pears here to be the big cross vein,
extending in an easterly direction
at the surface.
ReOrganized Blue Bull
A raise is now being driven from
the main cross-cut on the 25O-foot
level to connect with the winze that
was sunk from the 100-foot level
and which produced a quantity OF
high-grade gold ore in the curse OF
sinking. Upon completing the con-
nection and securing better ventila
ton, the management will proceed
to develop the ore-shoot' below the
point where it was worked in the
winze and there is promise of a
further production of rich ore from
this vein.
Great Bend Mine
Work continues at the eastern
end of the Great Bend property,
where preparations are being made
to explore at greater depth than
has vet been attained in the COM
pany's operations. The old Lock
hart lease shaft has been retimoer-
ed and unwatered and 1t is now
planned to sink this shaft another
100 or 200 feet and to explore the
system of veins ~traversing this
ground.
