when the Sixth Battle Squadron be-

was used in convoy service, accom-
panying food ships to Norway. Most
of the time was spent in the North
sea, and the weather was extremely
cold, all duty being performed in great
discomfort. The American battleships
became a part of the British fleet and
were under the British admirals Or
ders, although American Rear Admiral
Rodman was in Immediate command
of the American squadron. The formal
farewell to the Americans took place in
the Firth of Forth Dec. l, when Ad-
miral Sir David Beatty came on board
Admiral Rodman's flagship, the New
York, an account of which was pub
lished as a chronicle for the men to
keep, a part of which follows:
"A brief description of the cere-
monies attendant on the separation of
the Sixth Battle Squadron, that is, the
ninth division of the Atlantic fleet
from the grand fleet at its anchorage
in the Firth of Forth, is recorded for
your information.
In the forenoon of Dec. l. the Sixth
Battle Squadron prepared for sea, be-
ing under orders to weigh at 11:45,

site numbers of the ships being the
corresponding ships in the Fifth Bat
tie Squadron.
Rear Admiral Rodman, our squad
ron cimmander, paid his respects to
the communicative hief in the Queen
Elizabeth and returned to the .. S. S.
New York, his flagship. A considera-
b. lumber of the flag officers and COM
handing officers of the grand fleet
came aboard informally to pay their
respects; and exchanged with the
American officers on board mutual ex-
pressions of comradeship, and regret
at the separation about to take place.
The commander-in-chief of the
grand fleet, Admiral Sir David Beatty
came on board at about II o'clock; was
piped over the side, and received by
eight officer side boys, the rear ad-
miral commanding the Sixth Battle
Squadron, Capt. Beach, captains of the
Sixth Battle Squadron, staff and all
officers of the U. S. s. New York. All
hands were called to muster on the
Iforecastle and the COMMUNICATIVE chief

remarks
Il could not let the Sixth Battle
Squadron go without coming on board

a message to the Atlantic Fleet that
lyou have left a place, a very warm
place, in the hearts of the grand fleet
which cannot be filled until you. come
back, or send another squadron to rep

l don't know what Admiral Mayo will
think of that, but Admiral Rodman
will put it up to him in that way"
The British admiral then babe the
squadron farewell, and Admiral Rod
man responded briefly to the farewell
speech. The chronicle of the incident
concludes as follows:
'"The commander-in-chie left the
U. S. S. New York, and the squadron
weighed and broke homeward bound
lpennants and proceeded out of harbor,
exchanging cheers and messages of
Friendship and good luck with all

SIMON LEAD Mine
IS ATTRACTING
ATTENTION
TWELVE COMPANIES OPERATING
NEAR THE BIG PRO-
DUCER

Lieutenant Governor Maurice J..
Sullivan has taken over claims one
mile south of the Simon silver-lead
mine, 22 miles east of Nina, and
s. w. Summerfield, state senator
from Mineral county, has also be-
come heavily interested in the dis
trict, which is now attracting wide
attention on account of the huge
orebody opened in the Simon.
Twelve companies are operating in
the district at present, over an area
three miles by five, and substan-
tial interests are acquiring claims
rapidly
The Simon has been opened to a
depth of 400 feet and it is esti-
mated that over 100000 tons of
ore assaying from $2S to SIG per
ton is exposed above the 300-foot
level
The company plans to erect a
200-ton flotation plant.

GRANDMA TO DRIFT

The northwest drift on the S15-
foot level of the Grandma has
penetrated the cross vein,/ which
was shown to be 40 feet wide,
with assays as high as $14 from
material in less than commercial
quantity. A drift will be started
northeast in the vein and later
one will be started to the south
west from five feet into the vein
and at a point where the best ore
is found. The Grandma-Spear-
head vein will be thoroughly ex-
plored at this depth before the
shaft is sunk to the shale-latite
contact, which has never been
found in the Grandma except
where entered in the shaft for a
short distance.

SMUGGLER DIVIDE
is PROGRESSING

Newt Shafer, contractor, who IS
sinking the main working shaft on
the Smuggler Divide, will soon
have the initial contract of SO feet
completed. Machinery is now be-
ing hauled to the property and
sinking will be continued to the
200-foot level. At this point
station will be cut and a crosscut
driven north to cut the Smuggler
vein. Recent sampling gave val
ues of from $S to $40 in the main
fracture. The property of the
Smuggler company is visited daily
by many mining men and invest
ors, all of whom are keenly inter-
ested in the development of the
property. C.. N. Miller, general
manager of the company, is ar
ranging to list Smuggler on the
New York curb.

DEVELOPMENT co.
GIVES FIGURES
ON OUTPUT
CONSTRUCTION OF 50O-TON
ORE BINS IS
STARTED

The first production figures to
be made public by the Goldfield
Development company we're an
nounced on Saturday by A. l.
Darcy. general manager, when he
Istated that during less than 10
days in February and in March
the production was 1890 tons. The
gross value of the ore was $21,-
245.96. The production came
from company workings in the
Combination and leases in all
mines.
Owing to the starting of un-
derground operations and the
erection of surface machinery and
ore bins, little profit is being
made by the company, but ore
shipments have been more than
ample to meet expenses thus far,
which is all the management de-
sires. A concrete foundation for
tHC MOudWh Is DeIu6 COH-
structed at the Combination Frac-
tion shaft, which will be made the
main working shaft of the COM
pany, and erection of 70-foot
head frame and 500-ton ore bins
has also been started.
Ore is being blocked out and
sampling is continuing in the Com
bination, January and Red Top.
The returns from ore shipments
in April, which should be COM
plete by May Is, will show good
increase in the value of ore, as
during last month one $4,000 car
load was shipped by a Combination
lessee.

UNUSUAL MINERAL is
FOUND NEAR CUPRI1E

G. l.. Diffenbaugh, a prospector,
says he has discovered seven and
one-half miles south of Goldfield, in
the Cuprite district, a deposit of
Strontianite, mineral used in the
manufacture of colored signal
lights and fireworks. Diffenbaugh
says he sent samples to the Dupont
Powder company and the Foote
Mineral company of Philadelphia
and that he received letter from
the former company yesterday say
ing his find would be investigated.
He says the vein is from 40 to 60
feet wide in his claims. Other Gold
field men have located claims on the
vein and Diffenbaugh says no more
ground is open for location on the
course of the vein. The discoverer
says he learned to recognize stron-
tianite while attending the Goldfeld
school of mines.

FLORENCE. DIVIDE
BUYS WITT LEASE
PURCHASE PRICE Is SAID
TO HAVE BEEN
100000

At a meeting in Tonopah yester-
day afternoon between men inter
ested in the Observation-Disclosures
Mechlin lease on the Florence Gold
field and officials of the Florence
Divide Mining company, the lease
was sold to the Florence Divide for
a price said to have been $4,000,
partly in cash and partly in stock
of the Florence Divide.
The officers of the Florence
Divide are John H. Miller, president;
F. M. Manson, vice president; J. E.
Adams, secretary-treasurer ]. H.
Miller, F. M. Manson, ]. E. Adams,
Zeb Kendall and B. F. Baker,
directors.
Following the shipment of four
carloads of ore at weekly inter-
walls, no shipments have been made
from the Witt-Brandon lease on
the Florence for the past two
weeks, owing to the driving of a
drift a short distance under the
400-foot level to prove the size
of the orebody and value at this
depth.
The last shipments averaged
about $50 per ton, or consider
ably lower than was anticipated
when stopping was started, due
supposedly to the value of the
vein being contained almost en-
tirely in the seam showing free
gold.
The Boesch lease recently
shipped carload of ore assaying
$40 per ton.

WEST DIVIDE DISTRICT

Work will be started in a few
days on a group of eight claims
owned by w. s. Evans and Ellis
worth Oldt in the West Divide
district, in which .Tonopah people
are now taking great interest.
This group lies one mile west of
the Patrick property. which the
Combination Divide company has
been organized to develop. Evans
and Oldt say the vein on their
claims has been opened in three
places, ore assaying as high as $50
having been obtained as the
average of a five-foot width. The
width of the vein is not known.
The ore carries five parts silver to
one OF copper. The claims are
two miles from water.

BROUGHER OPENING ORE


The Brougher is now drifting
both ways in the vein, which cross
cuts have shown to be 40 feet wide
in places in the southeast drift.
All the new machinery is in place
and development work is proceed
ing on a big scale on the 500-foot
level, where the ore showing is
excellent, although no body of
large size has been exposed. The
present objective of the southeast
drift is a rich seam opened in a
crosscut and which it is estimated
will be cut by the main drift with
in a short distance.

soon as the engine has been put
in place two shifts of miners will
be used in the shaft and, as this

CHOICE GROUND
IN DIVIDE
DARCY, TURNER, DILLINGER
AND TONOPAH MEN FORM
COMPANY

The Butler Divide Mining company,
owning the Woodbutcher group, con-
sisting of 40 acres in the Divide dis
trict, has been organized with A. 1.
Darcy as president; j. X. Turner,
vice-president; c. L. Lisle, secretary
and treasurer; Branch Smith, G. A.
Calhoun and l.. l.. Dillinger, direc-
tors. The president of the company
is consulting engineer for the Tono-
pah Divide, Brougher and half
dozen other Divide companies and
also consulting engineer for the
Wingfeld properties in Goldfield.
The vice-president is consulting en-
gineer for the Sprague interests in
both Goldfield and Divide and the
discoverer of the Jumbo Extension
orebody. Dillinger is superintendent
of the Jumbo Extension and assist
ant to Turner. Calhoun is chief
chemist for the Tonopah Belmont.
Smith is superintendent of the
Monarch Pittsburg. Other promi-
nent mining men were interested in
the purchase of the claims.
The ground owned by the COM
pany was purchased. from Rollie
Crumley and Wylie Kelly of Tono-
pah. The claims lie between the
Operator and Rosetta and north OF
the Battleship group, recently pur-
chased by George Wingfield and Cal
Brougher, owners of the Tonopah
Divide and other important proper
ties.
The claims were purchased for
cash, paid the former owners in a
lump sum, and the names of the pur-
chasers would lead to the belief that
they had some particular reason for
selecting the Woodbutcher group
for their activities. The engineers
who invested their money in the
claims did SO because of the sur
face indications, which are said to
make the group one OF the best In
the entire district, and they have r.
ready made plans to start dew ''op-
ment. The rhyolite breccia, or ore
bearing formation is believed to be
at shallow depth and number OF
prominent "blowouts" occur on the
claims. All of the engineers inter
ested made thorough examinations
before deciding to purchase and ineir

and the part of the district nearby.

HASbROUCK DIVIDE
SINKING RAPIDLY
SURFACE EQUIPMENT AWAIT
ING SHIPMENT IN
TONOPAH

The shaft of the Hasbrouck Di-
vide, adjoining the TOnopah Has
brouck in the Divide district, has
been sunk 35 feet and a contrac;
was let recently to continue sink
ing to a depth of 65 feet, when
machinery awaiting shipment to
the mine from Tonopah will be
erected.
Delay was caused by surface
gravel entering the shaft follow
ing blasting when the vein was en-
tered, making necessary timbering
to a depth of 20 feet. This has
been completed and work is now
progressing rapidly.
