GIVE THE BOY SCOUT A CHANCE

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal !:
Sir--T desire to say a few words for
the Boy Scouts OF Delaware-principal
ly Wllmington-becaus there are more
OF them here than In any other part OF
the State.
Probably the reader is not interested
directly because there are no Boy
Scouts in his family; or probably the
whole matter Is one OF Indifference so
far as he is concerned-the Boy Scout
means nothing TO him.
II any Delawareans entertain this
feeling, II is certainly due 10 lack OF
information. The Boy Scout has long
ceased TO be 'plaything."
But that Is not just what we are
concerned about now; what does the
Boy Scout mean for the future-to the
State, TO society," II means this
Boys who are scouts and profit fully
by the influence surrounding them as
such are sure TO become valuable men.
They are better mentally, physically
and morally, through the training and
instruction given them and they are
taught all sorts OF helpful things, not
only in camp, but all the year round.

GSSEEs READY TO
WORK INGALLS, MINE
NEW HOIST AND ORE BINS
ARE BEING
ERECTED

Borcherding, McDermitt and
Hill, operating under lease the In
gals mine in Tule canyon, have
completed adjustments to machin-
cry in a mill recently erected by
them and are now installing a new
25-horse power Western hoist and
ore bins at the shaft. An automo-
bile truck will be used in hauling
the ore from the bins to the mill,
only short distance.
The lessees have made good
saving in trial runs of the mill
and there is enough ore exposed
in the mine and dump to keep it
in operation for several years
Water for the mill is obtained
through a shaft sunk to bedrock
in the canyon and crosscuts will be
run from this shaft to the sides
of the canyon to further prospect
the rich placer deposits.

Divide Mine IS GREATEST
since Opening OF FAMOUS MOHAWK

foot-wall was found to run true,
but crosscuts showed the hanging
wall to have a tendency to turn
west. 1t is now believed this wall
has turned southwest across the
trend of the vein and the crosscut
to be driven will determine wheth-
er this is true
The main drift has extended for
40 feet back of the footwall of the
old vein and the fact that high
grade ore is showing in both drifts
demonstrates the wonderful size
and value of the orebody where
work is now being done. Horn sill
yer is found plastered on the kao-
lin in sheets of almost pure metal.
A station is being cut in the
shaft at 465 feet and from here a
crosscut will be driven to the vein
and drift started south to ex-
plore the ore-channel in the same
manner as. on the level above. As
depth has been gained on the vein
it has proved richer and develop
ment on the 465-foot level should
show the Divide to be a greater
mine than the Mohawk, as mining
authorities here say there is more
ore exposed in the Divide now than
at any period in the history of the
Goldfield bonanza.
The remarkable development of
the Divide has led to great activity
innearby prospects and many COM
pafies are now in process of or
ganization for development of
claims long distances from the
"big noise." Many of these COM
panies will be well financed by
Goldfield and Tonopah interests
and the next few months will see
territory for several miles in all
directions from the main property
being explored with excellent
chances that rivals to the Tonopah
Divide will result.

The Jumbo Copper Mountain
Mining company has published in

advertised for sale owing to the
failure of owners to pay assessment
No. 1, levied on April Is of last
year.
A letter prepared by Charles S.
Sprague, president of the company.
has been mailed to delinquent stock
holders.
The letter says in part:
when the Jumbo Copper Noun
tain stock was distributed to Jumbo
Extension stockholders as divi-
dend, the certificates were sent to
those whose names appeared as
stockholders upon the records or
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany. 1t later developed in hun
dreds of cases that the stockholders
of record were not the real owners
of the stock and in many cases the
stock had changed hands several
times without being transferred on
the records and there was no way
to determine it's final ownership
Hence a very large number Of GER
tificates of Jumbo Copper Mountain

tension stockholders of record were
returned to the cOmpany's office

RICH SEAMS OF ORE
BEING EXPOSED IN
SPEARHEAD RAISE
CROSSCUT is BEING DRIVEN
WEST TO FIND CON-
TACT

A crosscut has been started to
the west in the Spearhead to find
the shale-latite contact away from
the hill into which the raise has
been extended 10 feet without
reaching the contact. The drift is
being continued south and con-
tinues to expose seams of good
ore. Narrow shoots of ore of
similar character are also being
found in the raise at the present
height.
When the raise was started it
was estimated from other raises
driven as the main crOsscut was
advanced from the shaft that the
shale would be found at a height
of 80 feet, but the fact that the
raise was being driven into a hill
soon developed. This is regarded
by mining authorities as being par
ticularly fortunate, as the history
of mining at or near the contact
in this district is largely the his
tory of exploration of the surface
of these high ridges, the richest
ore being found at the foot and
on the sides, particularly the east
ern slopes because of the general
eastward dip of veins in the latte.
The best ore taken from the
deep workings of the Jumbo Ex-
tension was found on the east
