NEW C0RNELIA
PROGRESS GOOD
Shipping Six Carloads of
Sulphide Ores Daily to
Douglas Smelter.

Ajo, Ariz-, Oct. 9.-The New Corne-
liza company is making progress stead
lily on the development Of its sulphide
ores, and already is making shipments
of six carloads a day Of such ore to
the Calumet & Arizona smelter at
Douglas. A three compartment shaft
has been sunk to $50 feet in depth
and a drift about 500 feet long is
about completed to a connection with
a big open cut, through which the
surface carbonates are being taken
by steam shovel. Four shOvels now
are operating to feed the teaching
tanks. It is expected that work will
begin soon on a 5000 ton Of flotatiOn
mill for the handling Of sulphides,
with the prospect also Of the install
lation of a reverberatOry furnace for
the reduction OF the concentrates. The
company is working about 1000 men,
Activity at Gunsight.
The old Silver-lead camp at Gun
sight, q miles east Of .AjO, is showing
activity not known for 50 years past.
Generally, the ores are Galena, espe-
cially in the old Gunsight mine, but
latterIy development has been made
of ores running high in gold and
tungsten. A small mill is now in op-
Grafton on such ores from the prop
erty Of the Gunsight Detroit Mining
& Milling company, which is working
the Bullion Bar and Black Bess
groups. Some OF the ore is said to run
500 in gold and $40 in tungsten.
In charge of the mill is Mitt Quin-
ner. of Douglas. well known IN the
southwest as the inventor OF sue

Growing Hope

Comment on the progress of the
fighting in France coming from
many sources converges on the
idea that the present drive now
promises to do something more than
to even the score of this years
fighting.
AT first, a definite check to the
German advance was regarded as a
virtual victory, and so it was. Then
speculation turned to the possibility
of forcing the Germans to take a
stand on some line well north of the
Marne. Next the imagination of
the critics and the public was fixed
on the prospect that Hindenbure
might be driven back into his ia
nous line. Now with the British
Army we'll across that line in the
north and the French and Ameri.
cans driving toward the southern
end of it, spe culation turns to the
possibility that the Germans may
be fianked out of the Hindenburg
line and compelled to fall back to
wari the Belgian frontier under cir
cumstances which would make such
a retreat disaster of the first mag
nitude.
That day of disaster is coming,
and, without a doubt, the Allied
command is planning every move
of the present campaign with
view to administering a decisive de.
feat to the Germans. They will be
disappointed if Hindenburg sue
ceeds in establishing his forces in or
near the lines from which he
launched his peace assault" last
spring. But it is we'll to remember
that, as the situation stands today,
victory is with the Allies, and will
be if the end of the Year sees the
two armies confronting each other
along the lines they occupied when
the campaign began.
This was to be Germany's grea'
year. This was the year in which
the failure of Russia was to be-
transmitted into German success
Thus far the year has been a gigan.
tic German failure. Just as definite
ly as the Germans proclaimed this
to be their year, the Allies, basine
their hopes upon American power,
have proclaimed next summer to
be their summer. 1t is best to look
upon what is happening now mere
ly as a promise of a fine season
