CHLORIDE PUTT|NG IN APPEARANCE IF
 REAL MINING CAMP

Those interested in mining in Mo have county are more than optimistic at the recent activity shown by large number of properties starting oper- ations or getting in shape to commence operations in the near future. Especial ly is this true in the immediate terri tory tributary to Chloride, one of the oldest silver and lead sections of the state.
 According to the oldest inhabitants the camp of Chloride never looked more promising than at present of en- teIing it's old-time lead of producinB the greater proportion of silver in tn, entire state. As far back as 8 years ago, following the evacuation of the | W hlte Hills silver camp, Chloride was ! the hub of one of the biggest silver booms ever experienced in the south- l west.
 { Frequently one can hear stories al- ! most unbelievable of how string" or wire silver and hard" or native" 1 silver was mined Tn punches so large ! the buckets capacity was inadequate 1 10 hold same, and it had to be broken ! into smaller pieces to facilitate the handling. Now come stories of the ! Schuylkill- Tennessee company opening ! up richer and better ore in their drift on the 900-foot level than at any time during the history of the property. The Old Tennessee" mine has rec ord of producing about s1S,00O,000 in rich silver and lead ores during the workings of the property. This, we'll Versed mining men say, is only just started, even though this property has been worked as deep as the 1900 foot level. It is announced by this company that while they are working three 1 shifts they will break ground within a very few weeks for their large mill with a capacity of 300 tons daily.
 Adjoining the Tennessee on the north is the Elkhart and Argyle properties. and Manager Scott gives out the infor- nation that work will start at once on the former, while double shift is now pushing the work on the Argyle, and it IS expected considerable rich ore will be opened up as soon as the drift on the { le0-foot level is run under the hill to the west
 Just north and side-lining the Ar gyle is the Chloride Queen Mining Co This company has the distinction of be- ing one of the nroperties in the district which has kept working steadily ! throughout the war and it is said @f and richest silver mines in the south west, The drift on the 220-foot leve being run under the big hill to the yves of the main shaft is in 40 feet, ant depth is being gained rapidly With an other sixty days work, this drift vii be in under the hill to a depth of 50( feet or more. Silver ore carrying val ues up to ITS ounces to the ton was re- gently opened up on this level in a veir averaging 20 inches in width. At this level the crosscut showed a 20-foo width of ore going about 10 ounces 1T silver, making a nice milling proposi tlon, besides the rich silver veins en- Just east of the shaft on this same level, rich silver ore is being opened up, and these veins run the full lengtl of the property. The management O this company gives out the information that a double shift has been put tC work sinking the main shaft 10 the 325- foot level, and expects to ship thi! month at least one car of good ore t( the shelter. Arrangements are mad, for shipments of ore to be made stead. fly from very near date.
 The property is fully equipped, tn, work is being rushed and the shaft i! expected to be down to the 325-foo level in about 30 days. Superintendent l thiled promises the SIOcknOIQerS th2. they can depend on going on a perma nent basis in about 60 days and b, self-supporting.
 Another property which promises t make good is the Tuckahoe, lying wes of Chloride. Rich silver ore has beel opened up on the 35O-foot level, an, Manager Carter feels certain the stock holders will soon have reason to b more than satisfied with their invest ment.
 The big copper property of the dis trict is the Emerald Isle, lying south c the city, and is producing a ton of pur copper daily. Other roperties workin large punches of miners are: CoDpe Age, Payroll and Red Gap; while tn Minnesota Conner is being unwatereC preparatory to putting about 20 miner to work. The Brunswick has purchase the electric equipment of the Bullio and expect to start operations as 500 as possible. The Keystone, Home Pas time and Sabbath Bell are reported { be making arrangements for immediat operations on their properties.
 Chloride is looking more prosperou than at any time since tx beginning ( the World War, and is putting on tt appearance of a real mining camp.
