SAN FRANCISCO, May %. =
Stringent rules are now in force reg
ulating the manufacture, distribu-
ton, storage, use, or possession of
explosives and their ingredients.
Among the special rules for vendors
of explosives and ingredients is the
following:
Vendors must require every GUS

sives or ingredients, in person, to
produce his license and must satisfy
themselves as to such customer be-
ing the legal owner of the license
presented, and must have on file
certified copies of the licenses of
such customers as order by mail, tel
egraph, etc."
The following notice has been sent
out by F. s. Peabody, assistant to
the director in charge of explosives
in Washington:
1.-THE manne of issuing certified
copies of licenses as prescribed I'M
der section 81, page rs of the gen.
eral information and rulings which
substantiate the act of Oct. 6,
1917, 65th congress, has been
amended to read as follows:
Licensing agents are authorized

ture or licensing agent).
"This ruling would also affect that
paragraph starting with the Gath line
on page 81 of general information
and rulings, entitled Certified Cop
les of Licenses This paragraph
should now read:
Amy person requiring certified
copies of his license may obtain
them by sending Photographic or pro-

Led for extensive work at great
depth and for operations on an
economical basis. The pumping
capacity is of such magnitude that
no conceivable flow of water can
in the future cause any serious in
terruption to the work, which was
delayed on several occasions be-
ore the present big pumps were
installed. With the opening of the
vein on the 19O0-foot level at least
two avenues will be provided
through which the ore can be rails
ed to the main 1850 level and de-
l;vered to the main shaft. which is
the st. Ives shaft of the Merger
Mines company.
Within a short time the east
cross-cut on the 19O0-foot level will
be continued to the main vein and
will be continued east to the hang
ing wall, after which other raises
and drifts will be extended to ex-
plore the vein in a most thorough
manner. The work that is now be-
ing done above this level will serve
as a guide to future operations and
already has solved some of the
more perplexing geological problems

MINERS SCARCE IN
ROCHESTER, DISTRICT

The resumption of work on the
Rochester Combined property here
has added another touch of life to
the district. 1t is unofficially given
out that the mill will be completed
and ready for operation within six
weeks.
The Nevada Packard is producing
the regular amount of ore and de-
velopment work is being almost ex-
clusively concentrated on sinking
with the hope of developing ore at
depth.
A shortage of muckers and ma
crime men is giving the mining
companies considerable worry and
full crews of miners are hard to
secure.

ASHDOWN NINE HAS
BIG TONNAGE READY

George d. Mathewson, who with
his associates is operating the Ash
down mine under lease, states that
he has $4,000 tons of ore opened
up and ready for the mill. The ore
is netting from SIS to Sc per ton.
He also has a considerable tonnage
broken and on the dump. The old
tailings, which carry about $3.50 a
ton, will be a big asset for the leas-
ers when cyanide can be secured at
a reasonable price. The property is
a gold producer and is located a few
miles south of DEMO, Ore.

AND POLES ARE
ON GROUND

F. b. Mechling, of Goldfield dis
trict manager FOR the Nevada
California Power company, in Ne
vada, who was in Tonopah yester-
day on company business, stated
that work on the new Tonopah-
Gold Mountain power line will be-
gin tomorrow and will be rushed to
completion. Mr.. Mechling believes
that the line will be completed and
the power carried to Gold oun
ain within three weeks.
Tomorrow surveyors will lay out
the line, and following them Will
come the hole diggers. While the
holes are being dug the poles Will
be distributed and ready for the
construction crew. Once the poles
are set, the linemen will make
quick work of extending the lines
from Tonopah.
The lines will be extended from
the Jim Butler mine to the prop
erty of the Tonopah Divide COM
pany. Other Gold Mountain COM
panies, among them being the
Brougher Divide, Sutherland, Gold

to install motors Dor and use

MINING INSPECTOR
REPORTS GOOD
PROSPECTS
DECLARES CONDITION OF IN
DUSTRY IN STATE IS
EXCELLENT

Andrew ]. Stinson, state mine in
spector, arrived Thursday from Ely
on his regular tour of the southern
end of the state, says a report from
Tonopah. He is enthusiastic about
the mining outlook for the state this
year and especially with conditions
at Ely, where he says there are more
men employed than at any time in
the history of the copper camp. He
estimates the payroll of the Ely dis
trict will carry the names of 1000
men, with a constantly increasing
demand for help that cannot be
filled.
The scarcity of competent labor
is the only drawback to what ap-
pears to the inspector as the most
prosperous year of the industry in
this state, for on every side he found
ca mines carrying silver ores pre-
pairing to resume operation. In Ely
the Giroux interests are working
between 700 and 500 men.
At Wonder he was surprised to
learn hat the Jackpot, a company
that had been dormant for many
years, is retimbering the 150-foot
shaft, with every indication of doing
substantial development. At Eureka
the old Hawley mine is employing
20 men and the Connolly between
Is and 20 men on the regular pay
roll. The old camp of Hamilton is
giving signs of returning ANNA
ton.
Battle Mountain and Mill City, in
the estimation of the Inspector, are
the busiest places he found in his
travels, considering the short time
that has elapsed since the activity
became pronounced. Near the for
mer place the Kimberly company
is enjoying the discovery of a rich
ledge, the presence of which was not
suspected six months ago when the
property gave signs of giving out.
Copper Canyon also has had an
awakening and Battle Mountain is
rapidly taking on signs of a boom
mining camp with everybody happy
and prosperous.
Referring to the recent develop
ment of manganese at Las Vegas,
Mr.. Stinson said it would meet with
a powerful rival for first place in n
mine that has been opened 20 miles
southwest of Ely, where prepare
lions are being made by removing the
overburden for bringing into activ-
ity lone of the richest manganese
properties in the United States. The
mine is owned by powerful capitalists
who are not sparing any money In
placing it on a basis for producing a
heavy tonnage. Another wonder
is the tungsten mine six miles north
of Mill City, wher one lease is net
ting $1,000 a day and another lease
operating through a 300-foot tunnel
is running a close second.
Charles Huber, district deputy
mine inspector, who has been looking
after western Nevada, met his chief
here with equally glowing reports
of mining in the Yerington district.
where the Bluestone has just placed
in commission a concentration with a
capacity of 400 IONS daily. This mill
takes the sulphide ores, while from
800 to 400 tons of oxidized ores are
sent to the smelter daily. At Copper
Mountain the Jumbo Extension COM
pany is sinking No. 3 shaft at the
bottom of the hill, from which later
ais will be run to tap the orebodies
found in shafts No. l and 2, whose
lowest workings are about on a level
with the collar of shaft No. 3.
