FAVORABLE SHOW|NGS IN
BELMONT MINE CONTINUE

The development work at the
Tonopah Belmont Development COM
pany, on The south vein between
the 500 and the 1100-foot levels, as
we'll as on the smaller veins dis
covered at the workings on and
above the 14OO-foot level, has been
productive of very gratifying results
in the way OF ore disclosures.
The plans of the management,
looking toward the opening up and
development of the immense ore
bodies recently blocked out by sew
eraf drift and raise workings be-
tween the 1100-fOot level and the
elevation to which the vein has re-
Gently been developed, namely at
the S00-foot depth, are rapidly be-
ing matured, and with the syste-
matte carrying out of the develop
ment campaign, immense tonnages
of ore are constantly being added to
the known reserves of the local
mine, which, according to the Of
ficial reports of the officers and
engineers of the company, were
greater on January 1, 1919, than for
several years back.
The improy ement in mine show
ings and the betterment of work
ing conditions due to the returning
of many of the skilled miners who
left Tonopah for shipyard and other
war work two years ago, is grad
ually bringing the Belmont, as we'll
as other mines in the Tonopah dis
trict, back to a normal status, and
footages are rapidly assuming the
ratio which all mines worked under
comprehensive plan of develop
ment and production require.
The present weeks report, in
point of physical conditions, varies
but little from that of the preced-
ing week, with the exception that
work was finished in one of the
crosscuts which was projected on
the 1OOO-foot level with the design
of shortening the tramminS dis
tonce between the ore-chutes on the
south vein and the shaft
On the 700-foot level the splendid
showings in the intermediate drift
from the stope on the south vein
have continued withsut decrease in
width or. diminution of values, the
4 foot width of fair grade ore being
constantly exposed with the ri ogress

On the 900-foot level there has
been no change of any char ,cer in
east drift 9O51, which is being
driven from the southeast crosscut
9.O44 to open up the south vein. In
the face of the drift 3foot width
of low grade ore is exposed.
On the 1OO0-foot level operations
were discontinued in east crosscut
when it bo.ed through into southeast
crosscut 1O44. The completion of
this work provides the management
with a much shorter haulage-way
from the main workings on the south
vein and affords much more eco
nomical handling of the ore from the
Gre chutes to the shaft. Good prog

DIVIDE EN-. OPENS
RICH ORE IN DRIFT

: The Caldwell shaft of the Divide
Extension is 80 feet deep and the
general condition of the vein is re-
ported to be similar to that at 45
feet, where tie ore was first opened.
Cross-cutting will be started at 100
feet.
Three feet of $500 ore has been
opened in the southwest drift at a
depth of 45 feet.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-07-12

A drift has been driven a short
distance on the hanging wall of the
vein on the fifth, or 5S0-foot level
of the Tonopah Divide and the
cross-cut has also been advanced a
short distance The length of each
of these workings was eight feet
on Saturday. No statement has
been issued by the management on
the value of the ore except that it is
of commercial grade.
The drift on the second level has
been advanced 325 feet. This en-
tered the "big bulge" in the vein
at distance of 275 feet from the
main cross-cut to the vein and has
been driven into the bulge for
SO feet. The southeast drift on the
fourth level has been advanced 425
feet and is still in ore. The north
west drift on this level has been
driven 100 feet from the main
cross-cut.

PROMISING INDICATIONS
FOUND IN DIVIDE CON

The bottom of the 175-foot shaft
CT the Divide Consolidated is re-
ported to be heavily mineralized
which is taken as an indication that
the shaft is approaching an Orebody.
Cross-cutting will be started at 200
feet. This is the second vein cut
in the Divide Consolidated shaft,
both dipping into the main ore-chan-
mel.

the surface of the latter vein. The
shaft will be sunk to $50 feet before

Domestic Troubles
Less Since July |

Statistics compiled by Mrs Julia

partnent of the Court OF Domestic

nationwide Prohibition went into

"In June OF this year" said Assist
ant States Attorney Michael Rosinia
10 whom the report had been made,
there were more than 1000 COM
plants and actual court cases. Dur
inc July we received $500 such COM
plants and for August there were
only 1850. 1t is also noticeable that
the month of September thus lar

questioned as to why he preferred to
stand on constitutional rights and re-

The president of the Hoffman
brewery brought his federal tax re-
ceipt into court and stated, supported
by his lawyer, that this receipt was
federal license permitting him to
manufacture beer regardless of state
law.
After examining the document
Judge Lands said, Leave it to the
brewers to misname this license.
There is nothing official, from the
passage OF the act by Congress to
the most recent orders by the most
remote revenue collector, that calls
it, or even squints at it, as license.
"The United States government, i'll
state that is bone-dry, if it hears
that somebody is selling beer under
the federal statute, imposes tax for
selling beer and will collect that tax
| from the violator of the state law as
result, if he fails to pay the federal
tax he is liable to indictment, and if
he pays the tax it does not permit
him to violate the state law"
After Attorney General Middle
kauff advised that the Illinois law
permitted action against brewers by
criminal process or by injunction
Judge Lands said, turning to the
president of the North American
brewery 81 suggest, in view of the
defiance of this man exhibiting a de-
termination that the law shall not
be obeyed that an injunction would

The Constitution (,
Must Be Upheld

At the first large session of the
Anti-Saloon League Conference at
Chicago on September 18th, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted;
"One hundred and thirty-two years
OF unparalleled progress and pros
perity remind us anew OF the great
worth and power OF the Constitution
of ne United States.
IAN enlightened and patriotic peo-
pie proceeding in legal and orderly
manner to carry out its expressed pur-
pose to promote tie general welfare,
have prohibited the beverage liqror
traffic.
at is tie last and greatest piece of
constructive legislation ever adopted
by self governing people.
1T is the duty of every loyal citizen
to respect and obey It. We honot
ourselves and our country when we
obey and enforce laws enacted for the
public good. When the laws are not
enforced the people are not well gov
erned.
"We therefore call upon all patri-
otto citizens on this anniversary day
of the adoption of our Constitution to
reconsecrate themselves to the full
fllment OF the ideal expressed by the
martyred Lincoln and Let reverence
for law become the political religion
of Our nation"
Wayne B. Wheeler, of Washington,
General Counsel of the Ant-Saloon
League, in presenting the resolution,
said
at is fitting on this occasion that
our organization call attention to the
need for a greater respect for the
Constitution and the laws enacted I'M
der it. When constitutions or amend
ments to it are adopted and laws are
enacted in legal and orderly manner
none but disloyal citizens will defy 4
them. None but derelict officials willy
fail to enforce them.
while the eighteenth amendment
remains part of the organic law of
the nation and the Prohibition en-
forcement code remains on the stat
ute books it is the patriotic duty of
public officers to enforce it and of
loyal citizens to obey it. and support
those officers who respect their oath of
office.
IF any class of citizens are per-
mitted to defy law they do not favor,
the contagion OF anarchy will spread
to other classes who dislike other
laws and the government itself will
fail
"The time has come when all good
citizens must stand firm for the con-
stitution and the laws which carry ont
its purposes; BY so doing we honor
our flag and our country"

SEARCH AND SEIZURE PART
OF LAW is HELD INVALID

Judge ]. H. Burgess, of the district
court at Sheridan, Wyo., holds I'M
constitutional the search and seizure
clause of the Wyoming Prohibition
law. The court orders the return to
its owners of large amount of
liquor seized and held as evidence
against alleged violators of the dry
law. Should the decision be upheld
by the State Supreme Court it is
thought that it will render the work
of the Prohibition Commissioned in
effective and result in the return of
thousands of gallons of liquor held
by state officers.
A news item from New York states
that the anti Prohibitionists are GO
