Predictions that Goldfield would
ultimately become deep mining dis
trict apparently are about to be real
ized and the greatest importance is
ascribed by mining authorities to
the deep development work now in
progress at several points. Atten-
tion has centered largely on the work
of the Atlanta company, for the rea-
son that it's work is by far the deep
est yet undertaken in the district,
or in southern Nevada, having now
attained depth of 1900 feet. Work
that is going forward farther to the
north will not require as great depth
to explore the same geological hori-
zon, owing to the deepening of the
shale at the south.
Biologists and mining men of
wide experience declare that Gold
field has not yet been one-half pros
pectcL- and that undeveloped proper
ties here still contain almost unlim-
tied possibilities, even without sink
ing to great depth. Development
work of the past few months has in
a measure borne out this assertion
and the results obtained at several
points would, under normal condi-
tions, have aroused more than a
small amount of excitement and
would be reflected quickly in the
stock market.
1t is generally recognized that
while individual mine developments
of pronounced merits are likely to
result in marked activity for the is
sues involved, such developments
are not likely to bring about any
general upward movement in the
Goldfield list under present condi-
tiOns or until public interest is
again directed to the precious metals
securities. The return of interest to
metal mining in the near future,
however, is generally regarded as in
evitable.
The general situation in Goldfield
is looked upon by men who speak
with most authority as distinctly en-
couraging. Goldfield is still classed
as high-grade camp and it's mines
are not equipped to treat ore of low
grade. The mines here contain vast
quantities of ore too low in value to
ship to distant points for treatment,
but which will yield large revenues
when provision is made to treat this
product locally. Other districts have
passed through the period of evolu-
tion from high-grade to low-grade
camps and have achieved their great
est prosperity after their high-grade
ores were exhausted. The problem
in .Goldfield is one of low operating
costs, and this can be solved when
arrangements are made to handle a
sufficiently large tonnage in a sin
gle plant or by one process, whether
flotation or water concentration,

Recent reports indicate substan-
tial increase in the profits of the

put for the month of December hav-
ing been placed in preliminary es-
innate at approximately $4,000.
Conditions at the Aurora mine, con-
trolled and operated by the Gold
eld Consolidated company, are said
to have improved in important meas
ure. The Aurora mill has been
treating 500 tons of low-grade ore
daily, at an exceedingly low operat-
ing cost, and reports have been re-
ceived here to the effect that large
bodies of ore of better grade than
that treated heretofore have been

foot level are now practically dry.
The hanging wall winze is following
down an ore-shoot of good prom
ise, yielding high assays in copper
and gold, and which will be connect
ed later with raise from the 1900
foot level. The work of cross-cut-
ting from the deep winze at the
1900 level has been delayed for
few days by an accident to the sink
ing pump, but this highly important
work will soon be in progress and
interest now centers on the results of
this undertaking more than on any
other work under way in the district.
Jumbo Extension
Stockholders of the Jumbo Exten-
sion are about to receive a dividend
consisting of stock of the Jumbo
Copper Mountain Mining company,
which was formed to take over and
operate the Copper Mountain prop
erty, developed to the producing
stage by the Jumbo Extension under
an option of purchase. The stock
of the new company is assessable,
but the belief is expressed by COM
pany officials that the Copper Noun
tain property can be made highly
productive and profitable enterprise
with the expenditure of a few cents
per share of issued stock to install
a milling plant. The property is
said to have in sight large tonnage
of high-grade copper ore. In the To-
cal property seams of good ore
have been exposed in sinking the
deep winze, far below the surface of

main station is now being .deepened
in preparation for the carrying out
of plans for a material expansion
in the scope of development work,
in both the northern and southern
parts of the property. The work
outlined for the northern section is
of great interest, as ore of high
grade has been found in this ter
ritory and the new air connection
will facilitate work throughout the
property.
Great Bend Mine
The Great Bend has been showing
an improvement, both in the vol
ume of shipments and in the quail
ity of ore broken for shipment, the
last three carloads sent to the sam
pier having returned an average OF
about $44 per ton. The eastern
workings on the 300-foot level have

TERRELL SOLDIER IN FRANCE
RECEIVED CAMPHOR BELT
Says Many of the Boys Inquired How
They Might Secure One.

Perhaps the women of Terrell
county have not fully realized how
important it is to supply the soldiers
with camphor belts as a protection
against vermin and disease. Recent
ly Homer Patterson, now in France,
acknowledging the receipt of one
sent by a member of his family stat
ed that many of the boys were in
curing how they might get one.
We feel that the mothers and sis
ters of those in service from this
section have only to know what a
comfort and protection are these belts
to gladly provide each of our soldiers
with one at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Surely it is as little as we
can do to provide everything neces-
sary to make life in the trenches toll
cradle.
Anyone wishing to make belts can
phone Mrs. E. T. Jordan at 241 for
sample. She wishes to forward pack
ages to France right away. The cost
of belt is only about Is cents.

TERRELL TEACHERS
HAVE HELPFUL TALKS
DISCUSSIONS OF MUCH INTER
EST FEATURED MEETING IN
DAWSON ON SATURDAY.

The meeting of the Terrell County
Teachers Association, held in Daw-
son on last Saturday, was one of the
best in the history of the organiza-
ton.
The paper on discipline by Mr..
Davis, of PARROT, was one of unus-
ual merit, Mr.. Davis advanced the
idea that the day of "iron rule" in
the school has past, but all teachers
must be careful to avoid the opposite
extreme Of leniency. He emphasized
the Importance Of the teachers per-
sonality and the value of having the
confidence of the pupils.
Miss Thomson, of Bronwood, gave
splendid suggestions for teaching
reading in the primary and interme-
date grades. She said that reading
should be the natural expression of
the thought obtained. Mrs. Morris,
Of Graves Station, in open discussion
added to this paper the Importance
of silent reading.
Mrs. Hudson, of Graves Station,
told in a beautiful and impressive
way the story of "The Musical King
dom" By means of the story she de-
veloped in an effective way the idea
Of cooperation between the school
and the home.
The enthusiasm and interest of the
teachers present were genuine. Such
work as this done by the teachers
themselves will do a great deal for
the school system of Terrell county.
The secretary wishes to announce
that because there was not available
space in this weeks issue of The
News the suggestions for the county
school fair will not appear until the
next issue. ~,.

STIRRING PROGRAM
GIVEN GEORGIA DAY
THRILLING EVENTS BROUGHT
IN REVIEW AND STRIKING
FACTS OF INTEREST GIVEN.

Stirring and impressive from the
first number until the closing was
the Georgia Day program rendered
by the grammar grades of the Daw-
son public schools at the auditorium
February 18th, at one O'Clock.
The large number of visitors pres
ent were enthusiastic in their praise
of the admirably arranged exercises.
The historic pageant by the sixth
grade brought in review many thrill
ing events featuring the landing of
the founder of Georgia, James Ed
ward Oglethorpe, with his co-work-
ers establishing a colony where they
might maintain their high ideals for
''others." The costumes were so
cleverly designed and the characters
so faithfully portrayed as to indeli-
bly, stamp on the minds Of all present
the early history of our state. The
song Georgia" by the school, fol-
lowed. Ernest Allen spoke briefly of
Prominent Georgians Who Have
Served in Presidents Cabinets" With
patriotic fervor Katherine Roberts
gave a reading, Georgia, My Geor-
gia," which was followed by the state
song, Georgia Land" written by
Frank L. Stanton.
There was not dull moment in the
Georgia History Lesson" Little
Miss Garden Bell, the resourceful
teacher, and her bright pupils giving
in a striking way many facts of in
tense interest. The fourth grade gave
a spirited Georgia school song"
which was greatly appreciated.
Georgia Cotton Pickers" represent
ed by the fifth grade in the costume
of the field laborer caught the crowd
at once and the pantomine picking
the bolls and filling the sacks in per-
feet rhymth with the music was
heartily applauded. "The Star Span
gled Banner" closed the program,
which many in the audience consid-
cred the best of the many patriotic
entertainments arranged by the
school in the past.
1t is the constant aim of Dawson's |
progressive teachers to instill in the |
school children love and respect for
the flags of the state and the nation,
and all that they symbolic, and the
public feels a lively interest in ev-
cry undertaking of the school. Ev-
cry feature of the Georgia Day pro-
gram was worthy of special mention.
The Atlanta Constitution notes the
fact that Miss Nina Hornady, a
member of the Joseph Habersham
chapter, D. A. R., was the author of
the suggestion to establish February
18th as Georgia Day. Through the
efforts of this chapter the legis-
lature passed bill requiring a suit
able observance of the day."
