GRANDMA TO START LATERAL WORK
CONTINUED r-om Page One)

I herewith submit report covering the operations of the Grandma
Consolidated Mines Company for the first six months Of the year 1913.
Work has been prosecuted continuously with a view to sinking the
shaft to the shalelatte contact. The depth reached on June 80, 1918,
ws 87 feet. The shale a encountered June goth at the 810-foot
point. The average cost of sinking was $42.29 per foot, which is a little
higher than the asst six months of last year, caused by the greater cost
of supplies and the increased flow of water.
In the latter part of April, the bottom If shaft entered the typical
ore bearing quartz of the district and continued in same for a depth Of
SO feet. This vein trends northeasterly and southwesterlv with a dip of
SO degrees to the northwest. Very encouraging gold and silver values
we're found in the entire width of this quartz mass. Some copper and
zinc sulphides occurred in punches and in the clearages.
Work is now progressing, at the SIS foot level, in a stump cross
cut in a westerly direction and will be continued for a distance of sixty
or seventy feet so IS to give ample storage for the flow of water. Later,
Grandma claim, thus prospecting that portion of the claim at this (S15
fed) depth.
The shale. at point encountered in shaft, trends northeasterly and
.southwesterly with a dip of so degrees to the northwest. 1t is planned
to make a station at the sos foot point, and from which drifts will be
advanced in the shale contact zone in both directions from the shaft.
Water has been increasing Is depth has been attained and all neces-
sary plans have been made to Immediately install sufficient pumping
equipment. consisting of a Gould pump having a capacity of 80 gal. per
minute, driven by a S5 H. P. G. E. motor. II has also been decided. in
economy, to equip the property with an Ingersol-Rand air compressor,
Imperial type-1O, driven by a rs H. P. Westinghouse motor.
The increasing flow Of water during the last 200 feet Of sinking
made the work both slow and expensive. but the shaft, al completed,
constitutes of the best working, two compartment shafts in the lis
trict. All energy "a be given to drifting and prosecuting in the
contact vein, where less time will be consumed and costs greatly reduced.
The geology, a exposed in the shaft is identical with that found
or near the contact, and the development work is low being carried on
with full expectation of exposing ore bodies as were ncovere in the
adjacent properties. A
Respectfully,
J. K. TURNER,
General Superintendent.

GREAT BEND IN ORE

eContinuco srom rage One)
timbered and used for hosting ore
If economy in mining justifies the
work. The shaft is already equipp-
ed with a good surface plant.
Starting ore production in Sep
TENDER, 1916, the Great Bend mine
made a production to April of this
year of nearly 100000 from ore
shoots opened on upper levels and
which the drift recently started Is
designed to cut at depth. In addi-
ton to this production, large bodies
of milling-grade ore were exposed,
which it is planned by the company
to eventually put through a mill on
the ground, the erection of which is
planned.
Work is also in progress in rails
ing from what is known as 1O2-B
stope. This working is in ore and
is now up 200 feet, or to within 80
feet of the surface. This raise is
from a stope on the 160-foot level
and after it has been driven through
to the surace and air secured in
this way drifting will be started
from it.

Shortage of Grain Sacks

Owing to the fact that practical
ly no jute is being imported into the
country at the present time, there is
a great shortage of sacks for wheat
shipments. In many instances mills
are renting sacks to farmers, max
ing graduated charges for the length
of time they are used. Where the
mills have no elevators for storage
the wheat must be sacked or binned
on the farm and, as the farmer now
has no voice in the price or the
purchaser of his product, his one
concern is to get the wheat off his
hands, if possible, or to see that it
is safely under cover.

SULTAN MINE
RESUMES. WORK
LACK OF MARKET FOR ZINC
CAUSED SUSPENSION OF
WORK

Since the return of Henry Rob-
bins from California some weeks
ago, the owner and operator of the
Sultan mine has been making ar
rangements to resume active work.
For several months merely a small
amount of development work has
been carried on, but the mill and
other buildings, machinery and ap-
paratus have been given a thorough
overhauling and repairing and will
be in first-class shape for efficient
and economical operation.
Not that Mr.. Robbins efficiency
and economy could be improved
upon, however, for the Sultan is one
of those mines which is pleasantly
unique in having been operated, de-
veloped and made to pay big profits
through the sole efforts of the own
err, and absolutely without the aid
of outside capital.
Located at the foot of Little Devil
mountain, on that big break which
extends from the Mobile to the New
Year, taking in the Root Zinc, the
Singer and Christmas Consolidated,
the Sultan has started with a big
advantage. gelogically. This fact is
coupled with the other only less i'm
portant one of distance, being stu
ated only about ten miles from
camp and connected Herewith by
excellent roads.
Mr.. Robbins obtained possession
of the property in 1914, and since
that time has accomplished won
ders in the development of this
wonderful property. One of the
peculiar things about the Sultan is
that fact that, until something over
a year ago, all work was done with
out machinery. Since that time a
25-h. p. engine, air compressor and
hoist have been added to the mine
equipment, for the purpose of facili-
tating development at depth.
A number of big slopes are fea-
lures of the Sultan, and from them
have been taken tons upon tons of
the highest grade zinc and lead that
ever left the Yellow Pine district.
The ore is found principally in fis-
sure veins, and the mine contains a
series of "step faults" which rem
der it comparatively easy to follow
the ore, once the system is under
stood. The ores found are princi-
pally carbonates, although there are
a few exceptions, one entire stope
having produced principally silicate
ore.
The mill. which is located near
the mine, is of the Stebbins dry
concentrating type, which has been
used extensively on the desert. and
has a capacity of "a tons to the
shift.
Mr.. Robbins suspended opera
tions several months ago because he
was unable to get a profitable price
for his high-grade zinc, which DOM

have Nevada quotas reduced in pro-
portion to the and popu-
lation Of the state. 1t is said new
industries will have to be provided
if the government expects a steady
outpour of money from this state
and that the depletion of real mon
ey from bank resources must be
made good by some reciprocal move
on the part of the government. The
position of the governor and bank
examiner is that either money will
have to be put in circulation
through an increase of industry in
the state or loan quotas will have
to be reduced.

PROPOSES MEDICAL
SCHOOL INSPECTION
ASSISTANT STATE SUPERIN-
TENDENT SAYS SENTIMENT
is TO EXAMINE CHILDREN
0By fhe Associated Press.

Charleston, w. Va, July 8-There
is a strong sentiment in West Vir-
ginia for required medical inspection
of all school children, in the opinion
of j. II. Thornton, assistant to the
state superintendent of schools, who
has just completed a survey of the
state through answers received to a
series of questions sent out recently
to all superintendent and principals
and schools.
"A total of 134 replies were receiy-
ed from As counties in the state. Out
OF the 1874 schools, 40 reported that
they had medical inspection: twenty
thought it should be made compul-
sorry.
BY another question it was learned
that nine teacher nurses are employ
ed in the schools OF the state and
that others probably will be employ
ed next year. These teacher nurses
are charged with the duty of investi-
eating ehe sanitary conditions of pu-
pills and homes.
Inquiry regarding the amount of
physical training used brought out
the fact that the time devoted to
physical training varied from five to
sixty minutes day. though twenty
two of the schools reporting do not
give any time to the subject, and a
general average was only twenty
minutes. Only four schools in the
state reported the employment Of
special teacher for the work. Tween
ty schools replying have gymnasiums,
IS have Fairgrounds, and nineteen
athletic fields Fourteen schools have
no equipment for physical training.
Among the suggestions offered for
the new school code now being pre-
pared by special commission, were
the following: require a gymnasium
and Fairgrounds for all schools; COM
pulsory medical inspection; school
nurses obligatory in districts of GER
tain size; special clinics maintained
at public expense; teacherage
(home for teachers) as part of
sesrool property; physical training
made mandatory; better law concern
ing janitors. and legal standardiza-
ton of buildings and seating"
