ATLANTA RAISE FROM 1900
LEVEL NOW SHOWING
WALL OF Vein

Quartz at the contact, Manager
DARCY has realized the probability
of the main vein flattening at this
depth and the conditions revealed
on this level have caused him no
surprise. In the flattening of the
vein to this angle there is nothing
in the opinion of the management,
to cause any discouragement. and
on the contrary conditions at pre-
sent are as favorable as could have
been hoped and there is complete
confidence in the ultimate opening
Of valuable orebodies in the further
exploration of the great lode at
this depth.
Should the vein prove to be con-
siderably narrower at the 1900 than
at the 1750-foot level, this fact
will be regarded in rather favor
able light as it would tend to a
greater concentration of the metals
at the deeper level. In some places
on the 1750-foot level the vein ap-
rears to be over 60 feet wide and
with the wide distribution of me-
tails in this great area, together
with the leached conditions of
parts of the ore-channel, a great
part of the ore is rendered of too
low a grade to ship profitably un-
der present conditions.
Operations at the depth now at
tanned are expected to reveal zones
of secondary enrichment, where ore
bodies have been formed in the
primary state and further enriched
by the precipitation of minerals
that have been leached from upper
parts of the great ore-bearing zone.
All geological indications at the new
deep level are said to indicate the
resence of such secondary enrich
nent and it is confidently believed
that ore, of commercial value and
in large volume will be exposed in
the c0urss of this work and in the
GEAR future.

of about $11 per ton. This is re-
garded as encouraging, as the work
has not reached the point where 1t
was expected that ore would be
found. Manager Darcy will con-
tinue the cross-cut on the 1900
foot level to cut the vein and will
also extend some lateral work from

Definite results in opening the
main Atlanta vein on the 1900
foot level have been delayed owing
to the flattening of the big vein at
the point where it comes in contact
with the flatter west vein, but there
is nothing In the conditions exposed
In recent work to cause discourage
laent and those identified with the
property are as confident as ever
that the work now going forward
will produce important results. The
work is making good headway and
has been insured against further
interruption by installing a station
pump, duplicating in capacity the
big sinking pump at the bottom of
the deep winze.
Delay was caused during the past
week at one time by the breaking
of part of the sinking pump, but
this was quickly repaired. The
pumping equipment now in use will
handle all water that can by any
possibility be encountered in future,
working only part of the time, and
in the event of breakage or failure
of one pump reliance can be placed
on the other to keep the water
down. The volume of flow has been
determined definitely and provi-
sion can be made accordingly to
prevent flooding.
In driving the east cross-cut on
the 1900-foot level, from the bot
tom of the deep winze, the point
was reached where it would have
exposed the foot-wall of the main
vein If the latter maintained at this
depth the dip indicated on the
1750-foot level. AS the vein did
rot appear at this point Manager
Darcy proceeded to drive an incline
raise, toward the east, to determine
the position of the vein, and at a
height of ahort So. feet the foot
wall has been exposed. together with
quartz carrying copper and gold
and yielding assays around $11 per
ton.
1t is the plan of the management
to proceed with the driving of the
cross-cut on the 1900-foot level, to

work has been done in this territory
since the lease expired.
A short time ago connection with
this shaft was made by means of the
company's main east drift on the
250-foot level and the shaft was
found to have filled with water to a
point just below this level. A hoist

equipment were installed at the col

extent.

pump, has been installed in the bot
tom of the deep winze and there
will be no interruption in future
from pump failure or increased
water.
ReOrganized Kewanas
Steady progress is being made in
driving to the west from the main
drift of the Kewanas, on the $40
foot level and at point about 500
feet north of the main working sta
tion. This cross-cut is designed to
explore the western segment of the
faulted ore-channel, in which ore
of high prade has been found east
of the block fault that cuts the
shale contact zone at right angles
to it's eastern dip. Broken quartz
is now appearing in the latte, in
dicating the approach to the con-
tact zone. 1t Is believed that this
work will bring definite results in
the near future.
GoIdfield Consolidated
Operations of the Consolidated
company are progressing along
usual lines and the mill continues to
treat a large tonnage of low-grade
ore and of mill tailings. Lessees
operating throughout a large area
of the old main workings are pro-
ducing ore of high grade, which is
shipped to the sampler and is yield
ing good profits to the lessees and
the company. Favorable reports
continue to come from the Aurora
mine, where an improvement in the
average grade of ore is reported.

Sinking has been delayed to some
extent during the past week by the

 SC Searches for Slayer

Victor Nasquez of Jerome was shot and instantly killed al o'clock Sun. day evening, and Maria Horora, a young Mexican woman with whom Vasquez was spending the evening, was shot and so badly wounded thal her life is despaired of, the shooting having been done by Anastacio Ruan, another Mexican, age 20, who was jealous of the attentions which the senorita was paying. to Nasquez
 Ruan made his escape into the dark
 ness and at late hour last night had not been captured, although the of ficers were combing the adjacent ter ritory in an effort to apprehcnd the murderer.
 While the story of the shooting which was told to the officers was not exactly clear. it seems that Vas quez had gone to the girls home, in the Mexican section of Jerome, to spend the evening. There had been much ill-feeling between Vasuuez and Ruan over the affections of Miss Horora, and Ruan apparently follow ed his victim to the girls home. While Vasquez and Miss Horora were seat ed in the parlor, Ruan suddenly cn tered through the froas door. a~d pull ing .52 Colt automatic from his pocket, he fired point blank at the, young man. The latter died instantly, and the murderer then turned his deadly fire at the young women who had spurned his affections. The girl was shot several times through the chest, and fell over on the dead body of her sweethcat. Ruan, apparently satisfied that he had killed both the girl and her lover, threw his gun into the room and disappeared into the darkness, no trace of him having been since found Ii is the opinion of the officers that the murderer IS being sheltered in some of the Mexican homes of Jerome, and the shacks in the Mexican section are being search ed very carefully.
 The sherifi's office was notified of the affair in a short time after tht shooting had occurred, and circulars calling for the arrest of the fugitive were at once sent out broadcast over the State Ruan is described as be- ing a man of about feet, inches in height, weight about l35 or 140, dark brown skin, and wearing a small mustache. He was employed in one of the mines at Jerome.

Director Orders Every Effort Made To Eliminate Congestion In Freight Terminals
 Of Atlantic Seaboard
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.-
 Orders went to the eastern roads
 from Director McAdoo today to clear
 up the freight congestion regardless
 of previous government priority regu-
 lations, passenger schedules or any
 other hampering practices under the
 old competitive system, and to pay
 special attention to the movement of
 coal and food. Lines or the West
 and South were notified that they
 might be called on to furnish locomo-
 tives and equipment to help tighten
 the triffic burden in the East.
 A committee of governing off cials was today created to work out plan for diverting export freight to other ports than New York. Quanti- ties of coal were actually started nov ing in New England to relieve the serious shortage and priority orders were suspended East of the Mississip- pi and North of the Ohio river to cx- tend where necessary to clear up the congestion. At the same time the director general dissolved the rail- road war board at its own request and named a temporary cabinet of five memLr s., one Of which IS Hale Holden, president of the Burlington, who will be retained to supervise the which the war board creat- ed. Other members are: John .Skel- ton Williams, comptroller of cur rency; Henry Walters, chairman ot the board, Atlantic Coast Line: Ed ward Chambers, traffic director of the food administration, and Walter D. Hines, assistant director general. The other railway heads who were mem. bers of the war board, will return to the active supervision of their own roads.
 Possibilities that thousands of idle freight cars may be discovered in con gested yards were seen today in re- ports reaching the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 Inspectors reported strings of idle box cars on sidings while yard en- zines were unable to pull them out for ack of proper facilities. During the ,old wave many locomotives have been disabled. although inspectors re- ported there was no reason why they should not have been kept in working order.
