The development of the main
orebody on the 2400 and $500
levels of Union Consolidated con-
tinue. On the $500 the vein is
showing faces of ore assaying from
$25 to $3S per ton, with several
Slopes producing. Including the
regular and extra dividends payable
April /, the Union Consolidated has
distributed five dividends, totalling
$4,000, since January 1.
F~air-grade quartz is commencing
to develop in the northwest section

workings SIS r is produced.
Cross-cutting and drifting is also
proceeding from the 200 levels,
through which most of the ore will
be delivered to the Union shaft oy
the compressed air locomotives.
The 200 level of the Ophir has
been repaired preparatory to lateral
developments, and the Sierra Ne

pleted up to the Earl ore bin, being

and the heavy grade has been al
most completely eliminated.
Manhattan Consolidated
AS already forecasted the flow of
water into the deep workings of the
Consolidated has reduced in volume
during the past few days nearly so
per cent. Both the shaft pump and
the large station pump on the fourth
level, which takes the water from
the shaft pump at this point to the
surface, are working smoothly and
are now employed only about four
hours per day. The cross-cut being
extended from the 500-foot level to
pick up the downward extension of
the great Consolidated east ore-body
has now reached a point so feet from
the station, the formation crossed
still being shale and quartzite. Due
to the way in which the water is di-
minishing, probably by the time the
east orebody is developed from the
fifth level, it will be possible to con-
tinue the shaft sinking to the 800
foot point.

Mary Pickford Tours
City Campaigning to
Sell Liberty Bonds

Mary Pickford plunged through
dense throngs, whipping wind and a
sporadic drizzle yesterday in her quest
of money for the Liberty Loan. She
began at noon at City Hall Park, went
to Lord e. Taylor's booth and thence to
The Bronx, giving smiles lavishly and
speeches occasionally in return for
subscriptions.
At City Hall Park she resorted to
"object lessons" rather than fancy
phrases. She pointed to several battle
SCARED Canadian soldiers standing on
the platform and then turned to her
audience with the remark:
81 feel that l hardly have the right
to speak to you, with these Canadians
who have made the supreme sacrifice
for their country, here on this plat
form. Look at them, and if their ap-
pearance does not move you to buy
/ am sure, will have any effect on
you"
At Lord e. Taylor's hundreds of
shoppers were told they could spare
his and that. hitherto thought abso-
lutely essential, and devote the money
10 Liberty bonds.
Hundreds gathered at 355 East 149th
Street to hear her. Here Mrs. Char
lotte Pckford, Mary's mother, caused
the arrest Of Dennie Joseph, nineteen
Of 1890 Clinton Avenue. He. is al
legged to have made remarks about the
million-a-year screen favorite.
After giving her assurance that the
remarks were too degrading for public
repetition and that she would prose-
cute, Mrs. Pickford and her daughter
left The Bronx.

II any member of the Goth, now in
the whirlpool Of the greatest battle of
history. could have stepped into his
regimental armory last night he would
have been greeted by doubly familiar
scene. He would have seen the old
home, where he received his first les
sons in the art of war, Uttered with
the grim and battered furniture of a
French battlefield.
In fact. he would have found moth
ing missing except that diving thing
which is Hindenburg's quaint defn
ton of modern battle. The roar and
the mud, the trenches and the Ger
mans were missing, but, then, the Ger
mans generally are missing from the
immediate vicinity Of the fighting boys
of the 69th.
A Glimpse of "Over There"
Pretty nearly all the trappings of
war on land and sea and in the air were
on exhibition in the great central drill
hall of the armory, placed there for
three weeks display by the Liberty
Loan Committee to give the American
suggestion of why the third Liberty
Loan should be oversubscribed.
Every object, with the exception of
the American exhibit, had seen service.

people of France, England and Italy
and of Germany, for large collection

Grenade Throwers Shown
There is a choice collection of odd
looking little cannon which might be
taken for toys, carelessly left out in
the rain and covered with rust and
mud. These little cannon are not toys.
They are grenade throwers of the
latest design. In this group of killing
machinery may be found a handsome
and ingeniously contrived affair, which
to the layman looks like telescope
with the lenses missing. 1t is the
French liquid-fre gun, and, at close
range, it is the deadliest of all the
weapons now on the Western front.
