STATION BEING CUT
ON 500 LEVEL
OF BROUGHER
CROSSCUT WILL BE STARTED
TO CUT DIVIDE
VEIN

A station is being cut in the
Brougher Divide shaft at depth
of 500 feet and crosscutting for
the vein, which it is estimated is
100 feet distant from the shaft,
will be started on completion of
the station.
The bottom of the shaft is in the
typical blue rhyolite breccia found
in the shaft of the Tonopah Divide
and conditions are believed to be
favorable for finding commercial
ore when the vein is cut by the
lateral Workings.
Three shifts of miners are en-
ployed and work of completing the
station and getting the crosscut
under way should consume but a
short time. In sinking the shaft
progress was made at a rate OF
$50 feet a month.

IMPORTANT RESULTS
ARE OBTAINED IN
MAYFlOWER
CAPACITY OF MILL MAY BE
INCREASED
SOON

Twenty miners are employed in
the Mayflower mine at Pioneer,
using the powerful new '''Tarbo'
drills, which recently have been
demonstrated in Goldfield, and
rapid progress is being made in
driving the workings.
1t is expected announcement OF
a decision to enlarge the 15-stamp
mill on the ground will be made
in the near future, and it is under
stood that steps toward the pur-
chase of a ball mill to increase the
capacity of the plant to 100 tons
daily have already been taken.
John H. Miller, vice president of
the company, recently passed
through Goldfield en- route to his
home in Hawthorne after a visit
of inspection, and while here stat
ed that he expected Mayflower
stock to be listed in New York
and San Francisco within the next
week.
Since operations were started
under direction of General Man
ager J. B. Kendall late in Novem-
Der the force of miners has been
increased as rapidly as possible
and a large amount of development
work has been accomplished, re-
sulting in a great increase in ore
resources.
A raise from the 900-foot level
is showing seven feet of ore as
saying s312O and from this raise
I15O tons of ore valued at $15 per
ton has been saved and stored in
the mine.
A drift on the 400-foot level is
being advanced in ore assaying
from IS to 1920 per ton and

NEW VENTURE
FOR DIVIDE
LAUNCHED
CHARLES s. SPRAGUE AND AS
SOCIATES BUY ALTO
GROUP

1t has been authOritively an
nounced that the Alto group of
mining calims in the Tonopah Gold
Mountain mining district, better
known as the Divide district, has
been sold by the owner, r. G. Will
liams, to Charles S. Sprague of
Goldfield and associates.
This is the most important an
nouncement to come from the Di-
vide district for many months, as
it guarantees the development of
inside ground which has been CO.
veted by mine operators from the
time of the discovery of the great
Divide mineral deposits.
The Alto group comprises the
Alto Nos. 1, 2, and 4. These
claims were located prior to any
of the surrounding ground and
their title is unquesctioned. They
form a horseshoe around the east
end of the Gold Zone ground and
sideline it on the southeast. Part
of the ground, the Alto No. 2, is
less than a claim distant from
the Beehive claim of the Tonopah
Divide company, in which the Di-
vide shaft is sunk.
The main Tonopah-Goldfield
auto road runs through the Alto
claims. The former owner, R. G..
Williams, was a pioneer in the Di-
vide district IS the Ia Sest
holder of claims. During the past
year he disposed of all his hold
ings to corporations in which he
retained an interest, except the
Alto group, and until the deal with
Dhe Sprague interests he could not
Nbe induced to part with this
ground, despite the many attract
i've offers made.
That he received a handsome
price for the Alto group goes with
out saying. 1t is stated unau-
thoratively that the Sprague peo-
pie had to pay 500, 900 for the
claims, large part of which was
cash and the balance stock at 20
cents per share.
Mr.. Sprague stated today that
the deal had been made and that
a check for the first payment was
turned over to Mr.. Williams Fri
day night He refused to affirm
or deny the rumored price. He
said the ground was valuable for
it's mineral rights, beside being
especially valuable to himself and

COMPLETE
CROSSCUTTING FOR BIG VEIN
WILL SOON
START

The crosscut being driven south
west toward the foot-wall of the
Divide vein on the 365-foot level,
800 feet southeast of the main
crosscut from the shaft, has been
extended 401a feet and has not
yet reached the wall, according 60
Manager A. /. Darcy A cross
cut into the hanging-wall of the
vein has been started to determine
if naturalization will be found to
the east of the main drift. Aver
age assays of over $40 have been
obtained in the southwest cross
cut, the value of the ore ranging
from SIS to $74.
The station at a depth of 465
feet in the shaft has been COM
pleted and crosscutting for the
vein on this level will be started in
few days.
Opening of the vein through
this crosscut is an event that ;s
being looked forward to anxiously
by everyone interested in the
Divide district, as the finding OF
ore on the fourth level will prove
the mine beyond question to be one
of the greatest silver-gold mines
ever opened.

PLORED

Drifting has been discontinued
for the present in the Red Hill
Florence and a winze is being sunk
from the drift on the 600-foot lev
ell in which the discovery of rich
ore was made recently. A raise
extended short distance showed
a material decrease in the value
of the ore and the winZe is being
sunk to develop the find at the
point where the best ore was ex-
posed, in the bottom of the drift.
Additional work will be neces-
sary to determine the value of the
discovery. Ore of good grade is
exposed in the face of the drift,
but the formation is broken and
the high-grade material scattered,
reducing the average value of the
ore. /:

A crosscut is being driven from
the top of the long raise from the
375-foot level of the Great Bend
and within a short distance this
will enter territory under stope
on the 236-foot level, from which
good ore was extracted. The
crosscut is being driven toward the
hanging wall of the vein, 1S feet
below the 236-foot level.
If good results are not obtained
in the work from the top of the
raise, the drift on the S75-foot
level, which is 200 feet long, will
be continued east toward the Lock
hart shaft. Two hundred feet
more of driving will bring the
drift under the first of the large
ore-shoots found on the upper lev
els.
Drifting and stopping continue
above the 160-foot level, from
where small quantities of shipping
ore is being extracted. Drifts are
being extended east and west from
raises above this level, the work
being done at about 100 feet from
the surface. Good quantities OF

CRACKERJACK
OPENS ORE
IN WINE
JUNCTION OF TWO VEINS
TO BE EN-
PLORED

After delays due to unforeseen
circumstances, including the re-
placing of parts for the air-power
hoist, station has been cut in the
Cracker Jack and sinking of
winze from the 320-foot level to
explore the junction of the east
and Cracker Jack veins has been
started. A contract has been let
for the work and it is expected tho
objective will be reached within 80
feet. At a shallow depth the
winze has exposed quartz contain
ing copper on the foot-wall side.
Heretofore copper has been found
in good quantity in this part of
the mine, but the ore always has
been in seams. Tie appearance of
the metallic content of the ore in
the body of the quartz is regarded
as an unusually promising indica-
tion of conditions to be found at
the intersection OF the veins. The
ore has not been assayed for cop
per. The gold and silver content
ton. Three feet of material of
excellent appearance is exposed on
the hanging-wall side of the winze.
The vein at this point is IL feet
wide and this ore-channel has been
shown to contain small bodies OF
high-grade ore at number OF
places in the mine. For this rea-
son particular Importance is at
tached to the present work, design
flat-dipping Cracker Jack vein and
the east vein, which dips at 70 de-
grees. Conditions at tho intersee-
tion of the ore-channels should be
favorable for the finding of large
and rich deposits.
The veins are similar to those
opened in the Sandstorm in the
early days of Goldfield and from
which big production of bonanza
Gre was made by lessees. The
Sandstorm adjoins the Cracker
Jack on the west, but practically
all the rich ore mined in the Sand
storm was taken from compare
lively shallow depths, while the ore
in the Cracker Jack has shown
greater enrichment with depth.
The best ore on the 320-foot level
has been found in the bottom Of
the drift and raises from this level
have failed to open good ore in
quantity.

AUTOCRACY THE ISSUE.

Denial OF this right is the of the steel strike as it

strikes The position of the employers is that of indus
trial autocracy eveywherea denial of the principles of
democracy to employees.
The employers willing that the employees organize
IN such associations they dominate and approve but
unwilling to recognize the rights Of employees to organize
as they choose They point to the growing radcasm and
unreason Of the unions as Justification
1t is true that many of the unions that have won
recognition, arbitrary ever employers were
When employers are denied voice in the management of
their plants when output is unnecessarily curtailed and
shorter days arbitrarily forced labor becomes as auto
cratic and undemocratic as capital often is
What it is hoped the industrial peace conference will
formulate is some plan that will insure industrial dem
ocracy for both employer and employee and prevent au-
ocrac rule by either The rights Of both labor and cap
al should be recognized and rule of reason nsuring
industrial justice be formulated
Organized labor by systematic effort to curta out

pies OF all kinds causes universal hardship and by permit
ting irresponsible radcasm to control has lost for itself
much OF the public support that it merits many cases

PORTO R|CANS DEMAND
STATEMENT ON FUTURE
Insular Legislature Declares For
Statehood of Complete
independence"
By Associated Press.

San Juan, Porto Rico, March 3.-Af-
ter a debate of more than two days
in both houses Of the insular lesis-
lature the %unionists and republicans
have agreed to join forces in insisting
that the American congress make
known what the future Of Porto Rico
is to be. 1t was agreed that. if there
can be no assurance that statehood is
possible. the parties should work for
independence.
The debate came after the receipt
here of the text Of the speech made in
the House of Representatives in Wash
ington on February II, by the resident
commissioner, Felix Cordova Davila, in
Which he urged congress to state def
nitely whether statehood and complete
self government for Porto Rico was
possible. If it was not possible, the
commissioner told the House he would
insist on complete independence.
