lite, and the main shaft, which is
now 500 feet deep, will be contin-
ued another lift of 100 feet to get
under the ore opened in a winze
from the 600-foot level. Ore ex-
posed in this winze was of high
grade, some of it yielding assays
above 5000 per ton. From the
rake of the ore, as shown in the
winze, it is apparent that the ore
shoot will be cut on the 70O-foot
level within Is feet of the shaft.
The main vein at this point is
almost perpendicular and the ore
has been opened east of the shaft,
where the deposit appears to be of
size.
Ore of good grade, averaging
throughout around $40 per ton,
i as been exposed at separate points
on four of the main levels: the $50,

upward over 80 feet, is on ore OF
equally good grade and in vein

Work is conducted through the

MERGER cOMPAh
IS EXPLORING
At DEPTH
WORK IN VIRGIN GROUND WILL
ENTER CONTACT
ZONE

Development work is progressing
on the 175O-foot level of the Gold
field Merger Mines company, in the
northwestern part of the st. Ives
claim. where a raise is now being
driven to cut and explore the shale
contact zone. This work is at a
point not far from the hanging wall
of the big Atlanta vein, which dips
to the east and toward the Merger.
At one point on the 1750-foot level
of the Atlanta an ore-bearing zone
was opened that extends directly to-
ward the Merger, and the raise now
being driven is about in line with
this ore-channel.
Under the former management a
cross-cut was driven north on this
level from the main cross-cut con-
Meeting the Atlanta workings with
the Merger shaft. This north cross
cut penetrated the shale at a point
where there was little indication of
enrichment and not far east of the
boundary line between the Merger
and Atlanta properties, and was
continued into the shale, as there
were indications of extensive frac-
turing in the latter and it was be-
lieved that ore might be found there.
At this point the shale dips to the
southwest and this is the greatest
depth at which it's surface has been
exposed in the district. In view of
conditions elsewhere, and the rela-
tion of the contact zone to the ore
bearing veins, it is believed there is
a good chance of finding deposits
of ore in the contact zone in this re-
gion, particularly in line with the
course or dip of known ore-bearing
zones in the Atlanta vein. only a
short distance to the west.

ATLANTA NOW TO
DRIVE EAST
TO vein
DEEP WINZE HAS ENTERED
SHALE NEAR 19OO-FOOT
LEVEL

After having reached the surface
of the shale, the deep winze of the
Atlanta has been continued to a
depth of approximately 1900 feet
and a sump is now being opened be-
low this point, in preparation for the
cutting of a large working station
from which a cross-cut is to be ex-
tended east to the main vein. 1t is
estimated that the foot-wall of the
main Atlanta vein will be penetrated
within a distance of less than 175
feet from the winze, and with the
equipment now in use rapid progress
will be made in driving this cross
cut.
From the position of the shale's s
surface where it was reached by the
winze it is apparent that the cross-cut
will run out of the shale and into
the quartz of the west vein within a
short distance of the winze, and
thereafter will continue in vein mat
ter all the way to the point where
the two big lodes form a junction.
In sinking from the 1750-foot level,
the winze entered the quartz of the
west vein at a depth of about go
feet and continued in solid quartz,
containing many small seams of pay
ore. until it reached the shale.
Water difficulties are now appar-
emily thing of the past, although
at one stage of sinking the volume
of water coming into the winze was
almost overwhelming. Conditions
surrounding the flow of water add
further support to the belief that the
two veins unite and that the west
vein derives both its water and en-
richment from the main vein. On
the 175O-foot level, where a large
amount ca lateral work was done,
the workings in the past have been
exceedingly wet, but the deep winze
appears to have drained all this ter
ritory, as the 1750-foot level work
ings are now relatively dry.
This drainage must have come

OF high-grade copper ore has been

the property, has shown width of

at several other points continues to
place in sight quantities of excellent
concentrating ore.
Reorganized Kewanas
In order to prepare for more
extended system of development
work in the Kewanas mine, the
sump below the main working sta
ton, at the bottom of the winze,
is to be deepened at once. The pur-
pose of this work is to provide a
larger capacity for accumulating
water, in order that pumping
through the Laguna shaft may be
conducted during hours when there
is less duty for the pumps from
OF her parts of the workings. This
will at once enable the manage
ment to carry out it's plans for ex-
tending deelopment work to the
northern part of the property, where
conditions revealed in earlier work
are regarded as highly promising.
Cross-cuts and drifts are being ex-
tended in new territory in the
southern region and the results OF
this work have been satisfactory.

Shipments to the sampler from
the Great Bend property have con-
tinued of excellent average grade

duced some rich ore several years

was here Monday to hear Sena-
tor Jas. B. Frazier, who spoke
in the interest of the Fourth

him a German steel helmet
which was taken from a German
soldier by his son. Lieut.. Frazier.
and sent to him for a souvenir of
the Western Front. This was
the first helmet that was ever
brought TO GainesbOrO and was a

Sunday Gasoline Regulations
Must Be Obeyed.

The situation is now so grave
in France, that we are short of
gasoline for ambulances to take
care of our American armies, for
munition trucks and for other
war uses. YOU as one of our
patriotic Jackson county citizens,
are asked and requested to cease
using your cars on Sundays, to
which the restriction applies.
1t seems that there is much
misunderstanding among many
who are still using their cars for
church going. The presidents
request is, THAT our people
ride street cars, or walk to
church, or use buggies or farm
wagons.
Hundreds of patriotic people,
christian people, people all over
Tennessee, ratified to church
last Sunday in an old farm wag-
on for God and country. They
were christians for so doing.
Gasoline is now the life blood of
the struggle in France. | know
that every owner of an auto in
Jackson county is amply able to
make other arrangements to go
to church. other than by the use
of gasoline, which as said, lone
drop of gasoline is equal to one
drop Of blood" 1t is desired that
we attend church, but go as we
did before the autos came. Go in
the way God'fearing, pataiotic
people should go.

The Liberty Wheat Crop.

Tennessee is asked by the
national Government to increase
their wheat acreage for the COM
ing crop by approximately 200
600 acres.
The nation is appealing for the
greatest wheat acreage eyer
s0wn in order to insure an abun-
dance of bread for the people of
this country and the nations, al
lied with us, and to provide
against a possible crop failure.
Every resource Of the nation is
being modified for a great mill
tary victory over the Hun next
year. All plans are being made
to crush the enemy during 1919.
The Liberty Wheat Crop" is a
part of the general military
plan.
This state has made an envi-
able record in responding to all
war calls. 1t has over subscrib-
ed its quota of the Liberty loans;
it has given more than was ask
ed for the war benevolences; its
people have conserved food: they
have oboyed the requests of the
Fuel Administrator and the
state has given every soldier and
every sailor asked of it. During
the past year. despite an acute
labor shortage, the faemers have
produced more foodstuffs than
were ever grown before in sim
gle year in the history of the
state.

physicians could do was done,
but only temporary relief was
accomplished.
Bessie was member of the

life to God while in her teens,
and had lived a consistent chris
tian life for more than 20 years.
She was of an affectionate dis
position, lovable, kind to all

Pupils with some maturity should

school is directly in proportion to
the effort put forth. He who
studies a little will accomplish
but little. The average energetic
boy or girl should complete a
four-vear high school at seven
teen and four years college
course at twenty-one or twenty
two.
Two of the greatest social or
