From Frank ShuIIer

Ou di C dSIuStiIS iIlC VI DCiHS careless about writing home, but really 1 have not, for either we could not get the paper or we could not get mail sent out, for, as 1 said in my last letter, we have been on the move ever since about the first of October. 1 don't doubt but that you were worried tho, for l imagine there were many anxious mothers and fathers when this last drive end ed with the signing of the arm istice.
 Believe me, the fathers and mothers were not the only ones who were glad to get the news that the armistice was signed, for we were under fire right up to the last minute allowed by it.
 The "Heinies" began to throw shells into the woods where we were located about sun up. and we began to dig in, but about nine o'clock we got the news that sthe armistiee had been signed and firing would cease at eleven o'clock. so we did not dig our holes only just deep enough to cover us, for we decided it was too much work as the war was so nearly over. The boys sure did make noise when the time was up. They yelled, fired ma chine guns, rifles and pistols and did most anything to make noise.
 On the seventeenth of Novem- Der. we started for { the Rhine. We started from a little town in France called Beaumont, near the Mouse river. On the trip we came across a corner of Belgium at Arlon and from there into Luxemburg at town at Eittle- brough. The people in Belgium sure did give us a welcome. In all the towns we passed through the streets were decorated with pine trees covered with flags and gay colored paper. and every house was flying the Belgian flag of blue, yellow and red, and many of them had the American flag also. As we entered and left the towns there was an arch stretching across the street with some word of welcome printed on it. But the one that impress ed me most was one that was in the first town as we entered it.. It was, "To the Sons of the True Freedom" In several of the towns there was a band out tc meet us and head the procession into town. In Luxemburg we received almost as royal a wei. come as in Belgium.
 On the first day of December at nine o'clock we crossed the river into Germany. The boys were all singing songs of victory and about marching to Berlin.
 One thing we noticed was that there were no flags flying from the houses. but the people were all friendly and did not seem like a nation we had been fighting a few days before
 We landed on the Rhine the ninth and crossed to eatsern side a few days later, so you see we have done what you people told us to do. that of driving the Ger. mans clear across the Rhine. It sure was an interesting trip for we passed through some very pretty country.
 Christmas was rather dull oyer here, as there was not much stir ring. The Company gave an en- tertainment Xmas night which we sure enjoyed, also the "Y'' movies. But the best thing of all was the dinner we had, and to cap things off they gave each

the Ajax Mining company is again on
the active list, work having been

After doing much exploratory work
through the Dom Paul tunnel, work
has now been transferred to the shaft

This shaft is down 200 feet from which

The vein is strong and promising with
continuous streaks Of ore which give
every indication of merging into a

DRIFTING FOR GOLD ORE
ON THE GIANT LEDGE
SHOOT OPENED IN OLD SHAFT
YEARS AGO-TO INSTALL
ELECTRIC HOIST.

| Charles G. Taylor manager of the
Giant Ledge Mining company, a short
distance above Murray, was in the city
Tuesday. He reports seven men en-
ployed by the company, the work at
this time being confined to drifting on
the 400 level to get under a shoot of
rich gold ore that is exposed in an old
shaft sunk many years ago. The shaft
was sunk about 100 feet, from which
drift was run which shows the ore to
be from Az to II feet wide. Samples
carefully taken across the entire face
give an average value of ST in gold,
while picked samples run as high as
$74. The drift has between 400 and
500 feet to run to get under this shoot,
and will be at depth of 27O feet be-
low it. The drift is from the bottom
shoot of lead -silver-gold ore of good
milling grade 120 feet in length, and
more or less ore has been continuous
since passing out of this shoot. The
Giant Ledge was originally located
and worked as a gold property. and the
large lead deposit subsequently devel-
cped uniformly carries gold. In fact,
Mr.. Taylor says much of the vein ma
terial which has no evidence of min
eral Is often found to have s. or Sc In
gold. The proved lead deposits on
both the 200 and 400 levels together
with the probability of developing a
large body of ore valuable for gold
alone, combine to make remarkably
promising outloog for the property.
Well Equipped.
The Giant Ledge company has re-
Gently installed a station pump on the
400 level driven by electric power,
which easily handles the water by run
ming few hours out of the "a. The
company is now planning to place an
electric hoist also. The company also
has valuable water right which pro-
vides power during several months of
the year. All machinery, buildings
and equipment of every description
are of the most substantial and per-
manent character, and this has been
the consistent policy of the manage
ment
Asked about the Cedar Creek, which
lis situated only a short distance from
the Giant Ledge, Mr. Taylor said the
recent strike is really of more import
ance than has been represented by the
owners In his opinion the company
has now accomplished what they have
been working for these many years
and that further development will
prove the present showing 26 feet wide
of milling ore to be the beginning of
large and permanent body of ore.

der, provisions and supplies OF all
kinds still command war prices or
higher. Under these circumstances
the miner should be relieved of the an
nual assessment burden this year and
next, by which time business condi-
tions will have become adjusted to a
more equitable and permanent basis
when the annual assessment work can
be carried on without imposing a hard
ship upon claimA owners. Congress
should bear in mind that assessment
work on mining claims Is require
ment. mainly for the purpose of show
ing good faith of claimants on public
land, and is comparatively unimport-
ant so far as actual mineral develop
ment is concerned. The miners of the
west are entitled to this concession as
provided in the Raker resolution.
