SAFEGUARDING PEACE.

The world is glad enough to have peace, but,
considering the diabolical plots for the subJuga-
ton of the world which the Germans so deliberate
" planned and so ruthessly attempted to execute,
are we justified in feeling that such peace is real
and secure if these people are allowed to go where
and do what they please i'll the world?
The administration OF adequate punishment to
all war-responsible Germans may be impractica-
BILE, but the safety Of the world would seem to de-
mand that measures shall at least be taken which
will make it possible always to identify those who
arc in any way responsible for this despicable at
tempt to destroy or ensave the world. This could
be accomplished by the making and filing for re-
ference at all times at convenient points IN every
civilized country the globe of complete identiti
catin cards, Gncluding photographs, Bertillion
measurements and finger-prints, together with the
war record as far ascertainable) Of all Germans
before they are allowed to leave their Fatherland
Laws might also well be passed by this and
other countries prohibiting all such persons from
becoming citizens or residents unless they first
satisfactorily establish the fact that they have tax
en- no part whatever in starting the war in the
German outrages incident thereto and are other
wise fit for such citizenship or residence.
This may seem like very considerable task,
but it is one which is entirely feasible and which
involves no real hardship or injustice to any Ger
tion with the war. It is merely reasoable and
fairly effective method of keeping tab on people
who have demonstrated beyond all question that
they are menace to the peace and welfare of the
world

ARMY CASUALTIES.

While it was understood that the casualty
lists given out by the government up to and in
Gliding the time of the signing of the armistice
were incomplete, perhaps the country was hardly
prepared to see the total number of reported cas-
ualties increase, within about two weeks after the
signing Of the arrjstice, from less than $4,000 to
more than 100000. This would seem to indicate
that the fighting during the last few days Of the
actual period Of hostilites was extremely sanguin-
ary. In this connection it is reported that during
the latter part Of the conflict more than half of
Germany's western army concentrated in
front of the American forces in the desperate but
Intellectual effort to stem the advancing tide of the
allied forces.
The total casualties reported by General Per

WtSTD|
NEW AND PROMISING DISTRICT
WEST OF d.
VIDE

The West Divide mining district
was organized yesterday by claim
owners in what heretofore has
been known as the Phillipsburg
district, situated six and one-half
miles west of Gold Mountain al
Divide. West Divide was organ
ICED to include territory east to
Divide, west to Paymaster canyon,
north to Lone Mountain and south
to Alkali. The claim owners pres
ent at the organization meeting
were w, S.. Phillips, chairman; K.
s. Wilbur, ]. R. Richardson, Al
Mccoy, F. E. Schultz, s. H. Cook,
Fred Konka and Ellsworth Oidt'
secretary.
Fifty pounds of silver-lead orc
was taken here Monday night
from the district and attracted
much attention owing to the rich
ness of the material, secured al
or near the surface over a wide
area. A return of $50 ounces In
silver was secured from ore taken
from the surface of claims owned
by AL Mccoy. one of the organic
ers of the district, and who Is
widely known for his operations In
many southern Nevada districts.
The discovery that first attract
ed attention to the district was
made on claims owned by Wilbur
foreman of the Spearhead mine in
Goldfield, Richardson and Schultz
These men secured assays OF sos
$50 and $153 in silver on claims
located by them and picked sam
pies of the ore showed horn sill
yer in quantity.
Good assays have been secured
at numerous points over an area
of five. square miles in recent pros
pecting. and it is reported that in
the past two weeks claims have
been staked rapidly throughout
the district.
Water is found at a depth OF
about 20 feet and is now secured
from a we'll two miles from what
ia considered the most favorabiy
situated ground.
East Divide first came to the
front under the name of Phillips
burg in the early days OF Gold
field, when !. considerable work
was done. but following the 1907
panic title to all but, one or two
groups was allowed to lapse.

LEVEL OF
Divide NEAR
RICH ORE
ERECTION OF NEW SURFACE
PLANT RETARDS
WORK

The southeast drift on the
fourth level of the Tonopah
Divide has not yet reached the
point at which 1t is expected the
extension of the rich ore opened
|245 feet from the shaft on the
third level will be opened, accord
ing to A. I. Darcy, consulting
engineer for the company. The
drift is believed to be close to this
rich area and further sensational
news may be expected from the
big bonanza within short time.
None of the lateral workings
except the fourth level drift have
been extended for the past two
weeks, owing to the replacing of
the present surface plant with
more powerful machinery and no
work has been done in the shaft
for this period. The shaft, is still
at the fifth level and the station
at this depth remains incomplete.
The new hoist and compressor.
which will be of from 10 to 20
drill capacity, will not be in place
for another week or 10 days.
The present comparatively slow
progress is due to the necessity
for a larger power plant, which
will be required in the operations
on a greatly enlarged scale which
will be started as soon as the new
machinery has been erected. This
work will consist of additional
lateral work on the upper levels
and the bottom level, where the
imain crosscut from the shaft will
be continued through the silver
vein into the gold vein, and fur
ther sinking OF the shaft.
The first and third levels have
been connected with raises and
raise has been started from the
first level to the surface.
Shipments to the Mcnamara mill
have been increased to so tons
idaily, the ore now being hauled
in motor trucks. The ore for
shipment Is being broken on the
second and third levels and in the
fourth level drift. On the second
level ore has been taken from a
large area about $50 feet from the
crosscut from the shaft. where the
material has been broken to a con-
siderable height above the drift
and to the hanging wall All ore
for shipment Is being broken in
the course OF development work
and no stopping has yet been done
anywhere In the mine.

time.
Green Monster LeaSeO
Robert Lochridge of the Yellow
Pine railroad has secured a lease
on the Green Monster, in the
Goodsprings district. The lease
was secured during a visit to
Goodsprings of Carr B. Neal, rep
resenting the Hearst estate, which
owns the mine.

". S. EVANS HAS
GOOD PROSPECT
DRIFT AT 3e5 FEET IS IN
LOW-GRADE
ORE

Walter s. Evans, manager of
the Kurigen. Smith & Evans prop
erty near Cuprite, returned to
Goldfield recently after an ex-
tended stay in the East. Evans
is heavily interested in the prop
erty, which has been in con-
tinual operation for long period.
A drift is nov being driven on
the lime-porphyry contact at a
depth of 365 feet, with assays of
from 50 to Sc in gold, silver and
copper being obtained in the vein,
which is from 8 to Is feet wide.
Water is being found in the
drift, which is considered a favor
able indication and in general
conditions are reported to be, bet
ter, with indications Of pay ore
greatly improved over where
considerable lateral work was
done on the 164-foot level. On
this level a crosscut was driven
160 feet to the vein and 100 feet
of drifting done. The vein was
cut again at a depth of 270' feet,
where 80 feet Of drifting was
done.
Conditions at the present depth
are regarded by Manager Evans
as being so highly favorable that
he is now considering sinking the
shaft another 100 feet, where he
believes the unleached sulphide
zone will be found, with ore OF
good grade and in paying guam
tity.
Manager Evans has faith In
the Cuprite district. He is one
of the pioneers of the Goldfield
district and while he has wit
messed all the mining excitements
of recent years, he continues tt
operate at Cuprite. confident thai
he will be rewarded through the

The first sale of elaine in the
West Divide district was made
when l.. l.. Patrick, known
wherever there are mines in the
west, and especially in connec-
tion with the early history Of
the Com mbination in Goldfield, pur-
chased the Lookout group of four
claims and an Individual claim.
The ground was bought from AL
Mccoy and s. H. Cook.
This sale is regarded as being
another of the peculiar incidents
that occur in mining, as the
ground. containing on the surface
far richer ore than is usually found
in prospects, has attracted atten-
tion to an important degree only
since the Divide excitement re-
suited in the awakening of num-
ber of highly promising southern
Nevada districts, with more money
for the first real mining to be
done in many years still to come
to other districts. With the prob
able ore zone now fairly we'll es-
tablished at Divide and with
claims not already held by incor-
porated companies selling at high
prices, some capital is turning to
other fields and it is the general
prediction that the discovery of
ore in the Divide mine eventually
will prove to be of great benefit
to many promising districts that
have been idle since the early
days of Goldfield, particularly in
Esmeralda and Nye counties.
The claims purchased by Mr..
Patrick were thoroughly sampled
before the deal was closed. assays
