CHLORIDE TUNNEL PROJECT WOULD OPEN
 LARGE ORE BODIES

Col. c. Rankin came in from Los Angeles yesterday and will go over to Chloride today to look after impor- tant mining business. He reports that his associates in the big tunnel propo- sition at Chloride are getting the fin ancial end of the deal we'll in hand and that operations will soon be under way.
 The Rankin tunnel, as it is known, would do more for Chloride than any other mining undertaking and it is to be hoped that this project will be put through with all possible speed. The bore would cut many of the important veins of the camp and supply an ore tonnage sufficient for the largest kind of milling plant, as we'll as output ting high grade ore. In the Brighter Days alone there is an immense ton mage of mill ore, at the present price of silver shippable in the raw ores. This ore body alone would be of enough importance to pay returns on the investment. Many other veins would also be opened at great depth giving them years of workable ores that could be gotten at at small ex- penSe

GOLD LODE MINING IN
 ALASKA

Twenty-Five gold-lode mines were operated in Alaska in 1918, accord ing to the U. S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. There was also a production from pros- mines or small min es that were not in regular operation. The value of the lode-gold output de- creased from $4,5S1, ,453 in 1917 to $3,- 473,317 in 1918, owing partly to the disaster at the Treadwell mine in April, 1917, and partly to curtailment of operations, especially in the Juneau district, because of shortage of labor. Southwestern Alaska, especially the Juneau district, is still the only center of large quartz-mining operations in the Territory. Next in importance is the Willow Creek lode district. The production in the Fairbanks district decreased materially, as the lode-mine owners of Fairbanks are still awaiting the cheapening of operating costs, es- pecially of fuel, which is expected on the completion of the Government rail- road. In 1918 the average value of the gold and silver contents for all siliceous ores mined was $1.70 a ton; the average for 1917 was $1.37 ton. These averages reflect the dominance in the total lode production of the large tonnage produced from the low grade ores of the Juneau district.

Slight Misunderstanding

With view to letting nothing es- cape her vigilance, Mrs. Muggins cross-examined the prospective house. maid, cook and general help all in one.
 "You are quite certain you know your duties thoroughly" she said, after deciding to engage her. "You will answer the door to visitors, and wait at table, and -"
 "Oh, yes, num-" said Mary Jane. 'I'm quite sure I will know how to go about them."
 Mrs. Muggins was on the point of turning away when thought struck her, and she suddenly swung around to the girl. "Oh, by the way, do you know your way to announcer"
 "Well, num-" replied Mary Jane, in nocently, "I'm not sure about that, but I think I know my weight to pound or so!"-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE AWAITING ,OWNERS
 AT SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco Cal, Dec. 12-More than $41,000 worth of First Liberty Loan Bonds, with accrued interest amounting to nearly $3,6O0 is going begging for rightful owners in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran cisco. The bank has had the Bonds for over two years, and is anxious that their owners, who were given Interim Certificates in lieu of the Bonds dur ing the First Loan, surrender the Ger tificates at once in exchange for the Bonds.
 At the time of the First Liberty Loan the actual bonds were not ready for distribution, and Interim Certifi- cates were issued. These, however, bear no interest 50 that persons throughout the Twelfth Federal Re- serve District who are holding Interim Certificates should communicate with the Federal Reserve Bank in order that the exchange can be made at once and the interest accrued on the Bonds paid. If a subscriber has lost the Certificate the Federal Reserve Bank should be notified, and, upon request, procedure to be followed in present. ing claim for relief will be furnished.

SHAFT BEING SUNK
 ON EMERALD ISLE

Development is now in progress on the Emerald Isle, a shaft being sunk into the ore body with good results. It has been the general opinion of mining men that the source of the ore deposition in the Emerald Isle was from big vein of primary ores, the teaching having brought the copper to the surface to be again deposited by contact with the lime. Samples talk en across the shaft at depth of 26 feet show values in excess of six per cent copper. The ore looks better and gives evidence of permanence.
 The mining editor of this paper has always believed that great body of ore would be developed in the Emer- aid Isle, and the shallow depth of the present shaft has increased the ton mage to double the estimate given out by the company some time ago. 1t has also been our view that sulphides would be encountered at shallow depth, say less than 100 feet and that another method of handling the great bodies of ore will have to be devised.

REHABILITATING
 THE COMSTOCk

That silver mines have the call over all other investments may be not ed in the revival of mining on the Comstock. There is now not house to be had in the old camp of Virginia City, Nevada. The activity in the dis- trict has spread far out along the lode. oGld Hill and Silver City com ing into life. On the Roberts-Regan vein there has been a strike of $500 ore that has created new interest in the southwest end of the field. In. the old Ophir works, as well as in the Union and Consolidated good ore bod ies have been picked up. Ore that could not be handled heretofore IS now capable of returning a profit and every ton of dump or stope ore that carries few dollars in values is be- ing used. The new ores in the deep levels shows values up to $3O, which will net large returns in the new mills.

CONANCHE OIL FIELDS
 LAND BEING BOUGHT

This week George w. Mark has been interesting Mohave county men in the purchase of 2O6 acres of land in the Comapche oil fields of Texas, and met with big success. The field is on the big anticline in which occurs Ranger and all the other large producing dis tricts of north Texas. Wells are be ing drilled all around this territory and the county at the present time iS sending out more than 37,00O barrels of amber oil daily. The new we!:S that that have been spudded in are close up to the acreage of the pro, posed new corporation and these that have been brought in are much shal lower than farther to the north. 1t is expected that the entire deal will be financed in Mohave county and that arrangements will be made for the early spudding in of the first wei. The property was taken over by H A. Wheller, a we'll known mining en- gineer of St. Louis.

SENATE SILVER MINE
 ST|LL|NB|C0RE BODY

The Senate Silver is still driving into the big ore body that was open ed on the 300 level last week. This ore body appears to be gaining in value as it is opened toward the north end of the claim, although so far every pound shows high mill values. The work of driving ahead is being rushed with the object of getting far enough away from the shaft to allow of further sinking. It will be re- membered that the 300 level of the Senate Silver is the same level as the 400 on the Blackberry, on which level the big ore body was opened. The ore body is one of the richest in the property, showing values far in excess of that on the levels above and produc- ing much more ore of shipable grade. The shipments are running above $200 to the ton in silver from that property, and it is expected that the same class of ore will be opened in the Senate Silver.

M0SSBACK CROSSCUT
 NOW IN l8O FEET

Jess w. Speidel, of Wheeling, w. Va, one of the large shareholders of the Arizona Mossback company, this week visited the property and was ex- ceptionally we'll pleased with the con- ditions obtaining at the mines. He came to Kingman Wednesday even- ing and departed to his home the same night.
 From MT. Burlock, who accompan- jed MT. Spiedel to Kingman, we learn that the cross-cuts to the hanging wall from the 700 level has now reached 1SO feet from the shaft through the vein material, much of it carrying high values in gold. One mass of quartz 40 feet. in width, has been cut that carries the same values as the big quartz mass on the 400. Just how far the crosscut will have to be car ried to bring the hanging wall into view is problematical, but the impress sion prevails that more than 100 feet will have to be run to get through the vein. So far the footwall has not been penetrated.
 Mining engineers who have just looked the property over are of the opinion that the mine will have to be equipped with a much larger milling plant than the one designed on ac- count of the massive bodies of ore that have been opened on the deep level. This big mill is now under consider ation and work on it will be commenc- ed as soon as the crosscut has been completed in the mine and the big working shaft is gotten under way This shaft is to be carried to the sur face about 300 or 400 feet to the north of the present working shaft and will be used to hoist ore into the big mill hnS

TO CUT SILVER IN THE DOLLAR

So rapid has been the rise in silver that Canada is now overwhelmed with demand for the dollars and is un- able to go into the markets for new purchases. To obviate this condition it is proposed to reduce the aomunt of silver that now enters into the coin age of the new dollar, substituting some alloy that will fill the measure of safety between the present dollar and the new one. It is this monkey ing with the coinage that will soon bankrupt the coinage system of the country, as it will be found impossi- ble to keep pace with the constantly changing ratio of coined metals with their bullion value.

ANTLER MINE GETS GOOD RETURNS FROM
 CARLOAD OF ORE

Hill and Mattson, who are leasing on the Antler and Copper World min es, situated in the mountains to the east of Yucca, have just received re- turns from their first car of ore. This shipment contained 14.52 per cent copper and about 1-2 ounces silver to the ton. Another carload of the same value of rock is on the way and another carload is being hauled to Yucca for shipment. The men have just uncovered a fine streak of rich copper-silver ore in the Antler, the values being very high in silver. Much native copper shows in the ore. The men know the mine, having work ed there few years ago.

UNITED AMERICAN CROSSCUT NOW CLOSE
 TO THE AZTEC VEIN

The crosscut from the 30 level that is being driven toward the Aztec vein, is now close to a connectin with the lode. In another vein body of quartz four feet wide has been cut through some of the small stringers carrying values of better than $60 to the ton Taken as a whole the vein does not carry mill values, but it is probable that drifting either way on the vein may bring ore.
 Those who have been looking over the property the past few weeks are of the impression that an ore body will soon be brought to view on the American. The showing so far made in the property far exceeds that o1 the most sanguine expectations of the promoters of the corporation.

CHINA BUYING GOLD

So high has silver reached in the markets of China that that country is enabled to purchase large quanti- ties of gold. One ship has left the Pacific coast bearing $20,OOO,O0O in gold for Chinese account. This is the first time that China has entered largely into the purchase of gold, but it is not thought that she will release much more silver to get it, as the Orient is practically on a silver basis and needs far more of the white metal than she has.

RECEIVES RETURNS FROM
 SHIPMENT OF DUMP ORE

Charles F.. Sherman recently re- ceived returns from a carload of dump ore from the old Chester mine, at Chloride, that netted above $10 to the ton. This ore carried about 21 ounces silver and a small amount of lead. Further shipments are to be made from the property although a better grade of ore will be handled. There are many tons of this class of ore in the dumps of the mine and consider able profits may be taken by sending it to the shelter at this time.

ANAHE|M MAN VISITS
 THE: DIAMOND JOE

Dr. J. c. Osher, of Anaheim, Cal ifornia, paid visit to the Diamond Joe mine, in company of general man. ager E c. Bradshaw, this week. Dr. Osher was well pleased with condi- tions at the property and feels that he and associates have picked a win ner. The Diamond Joe is being put in shape for outputting and consider able ore has been hauled from the dumps to the mill, where it will be treated by the oil Notation process over K. & K. machines. The mill is expected to be in commission about the first of the coming week. Experl- mental runs on the ore has shown ex- ceptionally high extraction.

The survey of the Highland Chief group of mines, in the Oatman field, has been approved by the surveyor general of Arizona. This group is now being operated by the Highland Chief mining company, of which Carl Tanner is the general manager. The company has good property and the tunnel that is being driven through the Heck property will tap it at a deep level.

DEVELOPMENT IS GOING
 AHEAD AT THUMB BUTTE

After having drifted a long dis tance on the vein of the Thumb Butte Gold Mines company has concluded to drain the shaft and pick up the vein at the lower level. Henry Johnson, superintendent of the property, has been getting good results from the money expended the past several months on the property and soon will have the mine shaped up for big campaign of development, on deeper levels.
