MACHINIST DESCRIBES
GEOLOGY OF DIVIDE

In the new vein in the Tonopah
Divide mine is found typical wax
like hornsilver Of the color of
heavy lubricating oil, and as easily
scratched as hard wax. "Rube"
Kelly of the machinery firm of
Campbell & Kelly of Tonopah
viewed the wonders of the mine
and on his return to Tonopah was
asked what he thought of it. Kelly
replied: 81 am not a miner and
do not understand such things, but
I will tell you the way it looked
to me from the viewpoint of a
machinist. There was first a
great crushing of the formation
and then a big slip, the walls of
the vein being lubrcated with
hornsilver so they would slide
easily during this Slip"

STRIKE SITUATION
IS SERIOUS IN
ARGENTINA
INDUSTRY PRALYZED BIZ AC-
TION OF 100000
LABORERS

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 10. = A
general strike was declared
throughout Argentina at midnight
last night.
Serious disorders followed the
funeral yesterday of five persons
killed in Tuesdays disturbances.
Thousands of strikers burned a
passenger train and tore up the
track, paralyzing traffic on the
Trans-Andean line. The strikers
later burned the Catholic church
and the girls school adjoining,
throwing the images into the
street, and leaving 400 girls shell
terless.
A battle occurred between strik-
ers and government forces yester-
day afternoon at the Vasena iron
foundry and the strike is reported
to be spreading, more than SO I'M
ions having joined the movement.
In the fight at the foundry TO-
900 workers surrounded the plant
in an attempt to force strikebreak-
ers to leave. The government
rushed up a squadron of mounted
police to escort the workers to
safety. During the afternoon
street cars and taxi cabs were over
turned or destroyed. Nearly all
industries are paralyzed.

ALASKA GOLD MINES
WILL INCREASE
PRODUCTION
IN 1919

SEATTLE, Jan. 10. - Alaska's
gold fields, the first big discovery
of which 20 years ago flashed the
northern territory to the front as
a mineral producer and lured
hundreds of stampeders north, give
every promise of increased produc-
ton in 1919, according to a review
of Alaska mining in 1918 issued
here by ]. l.. Mcpherson, secretary
of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
chamber Of commerce.
Coal, gold, copper, silver and
other mines of Alaska were hit
hard by the war. There is no
truth in the report, however, that
no mining was done in Alaska in
1918" Mr.. Mcpherson said. DE
spite the shortage of labor and
transportation, the high cost of
materials and supplies, mining de-
velopment in Alaska during 1918
showed material progress in the
opening of many new properties
and the enlargement of plants and
equipment"
Copper miners were busy during
the year, according to the review.
The Kennecott Copper corporation
started driving a tunnel to connect
the world famous bonanza mine
with the mother lode workings.
During the year the corporation
employed about $50 men and al
though paying the highest wages
in the history of lode mining in
Alaska, has operated short hand
ed due to the shortage of labor.
In the Prince William sound
district, the report said, copper
mines were seriously handicapped
by lack of transportation facili-
ties. Despite this handicap the
Grandby company built a tram
way $3.50 feet long, the larg-
est in Alaska, from the Midas mine
to tidewater on Valdez bay, and
equipped the mine FOR a larger
output.
Two Alaska gold districts, the
Willow Creek in the Susitna and
the Tolovana near Fairbanks, pro-
duced about 100000 worth of
gold during the year, the review
said. Circle City, Alaska's old re-
liable placer camp, had one of its
most prosperous seasons.
Rich pay was reported on the
Tolatna river, in the Kuskokwim
country, on Nixon fork and on
Wetketchum creek. In the famous
Nome country on the Seward pen
insula a shortage of water was
felt by the operators. Dime creek,
a new camp, was n of the most
active mining districts on the PEN
insula in 1918.
In the Alaska coal country much
work was done during the year, the
review stated. The Alaska engi-
neer commission let contracts for
the delivery of 5000 tons of Ne
mana coal from properties recently
opened on the line of the Seward
Fairbanks government railroad.
''This marks the beginning" Mr..
Mcpherson said, "of real develop
ment in Alaska's vast interior coal
fields" One Alaska coal mine, the
Eska mine in the Matanuska, is
producing about 100 tons a day.

INSTANCES OF
FRED kOORE'S
DEATH TOLD

The following letter, sent by
Colonel E. s. Butts of the United
States army to Fred P. Moore, ST.,
father of Captain Fred P. Moore,
who was killed in action in France,
was received by Edward McC.
Moore, brother of Captain Moore.
Captain Moore resided in Gold
field for several years and entered
the army in the east shortly after
the start of the war.
The towns of Mezy and Fossay,
mentioned in Colonel Butts let
ter, are on the south bank of
the Marine, less than five miles
east of Chateau Thierry.
The letter follows:
II was at my headquarters in
the Bots D'Agumont and remem-
Der perfectly the report reaching
me on July 16 or IL. l command
ed the seventh infantry up to a
few days ago and 1 heard the med
ical officer tell of burying your
son. 1 am referring this letter
from you to the 30th infantry.
That regiment is now on the front
line, a few kilometers in my pres
ent front, and ought to return in
a few days.
"Your son was killed by she'll
fire in the big German offensive
of July 15-16-17. The 30th had
the section of the Marine from
Nezy nearly to Fossay. My sup
port line was near the edge and
in front of the Bots D'Agumont,
several kilometers in rear of the
river. The b~ombardment was the
most terrific of the war and was
the Huns last bid for Paris. Your
sons company was on the left in
support and he was in front OBJ
serving when hit. He was a fine
officer and a fine man and l felt
his loss very much.
1.-The 3Oth infantry was cited
by the French as having sustained
the principal shock of the Ger
man attack Of July Is, and we
kept our line intact and even took
prisoners. I lost 10 officers and
$50 men killed and 80 officers and
500 men wounded in this battle.
"This third division Is about
fed up on fighting. having had
three months out of four in the
field.
"We helped straighten out the
St. Mihiel salient and now have
been pounding on this front for
two weeks. The Boche is using
principally artillery and machine
gun nests and is making it very
expensive for u.s.. The division had
5000 casualties at the Marine and J.
think we shall equal that here. OF
course we must whip the Boche,
but all men on the front line will
welcome peace.
II would 1 could say something
to alleviate your sorrow for your
son. You should be very proud
of him. He was a very efficient
and gallant soldier"

BOLSHEWK| RED
NIGHT MARE
IN RUSSIA

ARCHANGEL, Jan. 10. Tales
of horrors within the territory con-
trclled by the Bolshevik govern
rlent are brought here almost daiiJ
by some adventurous Russian,
often a young officer who has made
his way through the Bolshevik
lines. These stories r publish
ed in the Archangel newspapers
under the headline, "The Russian
Nightmare"
Two of the members of the
Archangel city duma who recently
returned from Moscow, where they
had been taken under arrest, quot
ed Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik
premier, as saying: Our days
are numbered. We know that,
but, in leaving the power, we will
shut down the doors in a way to
make Europe shudder."
One of the Archangel papers
says the record of the central all
Russian investigation commission
is one of tortures and horrors. Ar
rested people," it adds, "disap-
pear by groups. Agents of the
German general staff are working
in the commission. People are
shot in the building of the commits
sion itself and in groups of 20 to
80 at a time. Those who come in
order to inquire about arrested rel
atives are themselves arrested and
disappear. Only those who can
afford to pay a large sum of mon
ey are liberated. For 10000 or
$4,000 rubles M can ave his
life. Trotzky, formerly foreign
minister, has lost all ~sympathies
among the working men, but Len
inc still has great success in some
places"
One Bolshevik member of the
central soviet, Comrade Zinovieff,
is quoted as saying in a speech:
IF you come to Petrograd you
will see the bourgeoise (the mid
die class, paving the court of
Smolny institute, unloading the
ships on the Neva and cleaning
the barracks. The bourgeoise fur
coats will not exactly fit the red
guards, but they will patiently bear
this inconvenience. The bourge-
Disc must disappear in a socialistic
state. If we go on steadily we
will soon teach the Russian bour-
geoise what ought to be done, and
after that the bourgeoise of the
world"
Another speaker at the soviet
government. Bukharin, is quoted
as saying that Germany and Austria
no longer were dangerous to, Boil
shevism, but that the main dan
ger now lay with England and
America" We must support the
revolution in the central empires,
and we have decided to sacrifice
u blood and our bread to the
German proletariat."

field marshall man OF energy
and great business capacity-to Sc
cure in the end as much trade for
the dominion as was secured in
war munitions contracts. In a
lumber business, with which he
was familiar, he thought that If
the lumbermen of the dominion
would get together to decide what
amount of lumber they could de-
liver monthly to Great Britain and
France, and if the quantity be
even as high as $1,000 900 feet
annually, the industrial board
should ask the British government
to take this amount.
"Ask the British government to
give Canada a contract for three
years for 500, 900, 900 feet of lum-
Der per annum and calculate the
advantage to the dominion" he
said. What will happen in the
matter of lumber will apply in
many other articles of export, such
as farming implements, steel, ce-
ment, pulp and paper, besides all
kids of. minerals, especially copper
which will be wanted in untold
quantities on the other side dur.

will finance these proposed pur-
chases from Canada quite as read
