Great Benefits From
 Metrics Says McAdOO

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Wil- lian G. McAdoo, wartime Secretary of the Treasury and Director of Rail- roads, has given impetus to the cam paign of the World Trade Club of San Francisco for the worldwide adoption of the metric units of weight and measure, by telegraphing to the club strong statement of support.
 q heartily applaud World Trade Clubs activities in favor of legisla~ tion providing for exclusive legality within the United States of America of decimal metric system of weights and measures" he wires. "Any legis- latiOn enacted would of course take due care of commercial interests dur ing reasonable period of transition; and consequently alarm because of the change is wholly groundless. A very great stimulus indeed would be effect ed by our accepting the metric sys- tenn standards of industry, education and science in use turnout the world, whose prosperity and efficient service to so great an extent now seuarely depend upon our producers. Shall we in this striking instance fail to ad. just ourselves to the requirements of progress ?"
 Many similar statements of support are being received daily by the World Trade Club.

TOM REED REPORTED
 INTO VEIN $30 ORE
Tom Reed--24--Mng

Tom Reed--24--Mng
 Unverified reports come from the Tom Reed that the new ore body found in the Bald Eagle ground has widened out to enormous proportions and is holding it's width as the heading is being extended on the vein. This is the shoot that was fodnd something ever two months ago and the drift has been carried in several hundred Z ct, and is said to have width of l5 feet and an average value of $30. If the values are correct it is one of the most important ore bodies evec found in the mine, as it indicates the wider mireralization of the property. Up to this time no important body of ere has been found in any of the proper. ties below the Aztec and the driving toward the Telluride ground was car ried on for the purpose of exploring new territory.
 The mining editor has always had faith in the development of ore bodies in other parts of the Tom Reed es- tate, especially in the east end prop critics. The country in that locality is ideal for ore deposition and with the development of this massive ore body the possibilities of the Telluride and United American, as we'll as some of the other close in veins are enA hanced many fold. Further explora- ton of the new ore body will undoub- tedly be carried on, as practically all the faults along the vein have been plated and the picking up of this vein below any possible fault will now be matter of but short amount of crosscutting and drifting from the levels below. That the vein is virgin in the Tom Reed ground is now ad- mitted and that it has potentialities for ore production as great as the ore bodies of the Tom Reed and Ben liar rison is also granted. With this great ore body sending it's production to the mill the property is sure of big boom such as it never had before.

TUNNEL IN 75FT.
 ON THE SILVER JACK

The tunnnel that is being driven on the Silver Jack mines is now in 5 feet and good prgress is being made. Although this tunnel has not been on the vein, kidneys of good ore are being broken into in the country rock, which appears to indicate a wide minerali.. zation of the property. It is expected that when the vein is crosscut at the 300 foot depth an immense vein of silver ore will be encountered. The management is planning on a big de- velopment campaign this fall and will establish camp that vii he used dur ing the winter months, in anticipation of encountering snowfall similar to that of last winter.

READY FOR MACHINERY
 AT THE RURAL MINE

Concrete foundations for the big hoist and compressor have been cast at the Rural and Buckeye mines, at Min eral Park, and this machinery is ex- pected to arrive within the next ten days. Arrangements have been made to have the machinery hauled to the mines as soon as it arrives. The hoist is to be of 75-hp. double drum cleo tric, and the compressor will have 1OO-hp. capacity. Lines are to be brought in and connected up about the time of the receipt of the machinery.
 A new shaft is to be sunk to a depth of at least 800 feet on the Buckeye vein and a drift will be carried through the fault into the Rural on that level. A thorough prospecting of the vein has been made above the tunnel level and splendid mill values found in every opening. w. w. Wid- dowson, consulting engineer for the company, has mapped out big de- velopment campaign and expects to zee it carried out with great rapidity.

THUMB BUTTE OPENS
 UP SOME RICH ORE

The adit drift on the Thumb Butte last week opened some exceptionally rich ore, although the driving of the drift further on the vein did not carry the rich streak with it, this ore body passing out into the wider path of the vein. Good values are being found in the drift, in fact there has been good mill values all along. The rich streak had a width of about IA inches and would run far into the hundreds of dollars to the ton, gold being visible all through the rock. Specimens shown to us look very much like sil- icifjed rhylite, although it carries con- siderable calcite as well.
 The work of driving the drift is carried on with all possible dispatch and we believe a good body of milling grade ore will be found when the vein is crosscut both walls. This vein is large and has wonderful possibilities for ore production.

HEAVY RAINS NEAR
 YUCCA TUNGSTEN MINE

Thursday last Harvey Klotsch, gen eral manager of the Yucca Tungsten company, was in Kingman attending to important business for his com pany. He reports that owing to the enormous rainfalls in the region of his mining camp, on the west side of the Wallapais he has had hard time getting shipments through to the rail- road. Five heavy storms have struck that section during the month of July and washed out the roads for miles. The ore trucks have only been able to make two trips to Yucca during the month and until a large amount of work is done the roads will remain almost impossible. For a week CT more all the men in camp and who were working in the mines have been put to work on the roads to get them in passable shape. Below the junction of the Yucca Tungsten road with the Coppervill-C Cedar road washouts have also badly Jdemoralized that highway and it will take considerable time to get it in shape. Mackenzie wash has been badly gutted and the paving that was done some years ago has all been carried out, leaving heavy bed of sand to get over. The banks have been cut down and will have to be graded out to allow of easy access to the road grade.
 The mines at the Yucca camp are looking fine and are capable of turn ing out a big tonnage of this useful metal. The price is quite low at pres ent, but we look for greater demand and a price of at least $15 per unit before December.

BELL LEAVES FOR EAST BUSINESS ON HIGHLAND

c. B. Bell departed Tuesday night for Milwaukee, where he will confer with his associates in the Highland Mining Company, preparatory to the meeting of the Middle Golconda Mines Company, which will be held here early this month. On his return he will be accompanied by large num- Der of people interested in the new company who desire to look the pro- ject over. Many of these people have already examined the proposition and are thoroughly satisfied that they have one of the large mining propo- sitions of the state.
 During the past month MT. Bell and associates have been surveying out sites and plating the country in and around the Golconda, with view to getting line on the best site for a tunnel that will reach into these veins at the lowest possible point from an economical angle. While consider able depth might be gained by going far down the Todd basin canyon it might not be economy to do so, but that great depth may be had from place below the old Empire mill site is certain. This would make possible the entry of the Golconda vein far below the present depth and be of far reaching benefit in the development of other properties. This matter will probably be threshed out at the meet ing. /

COTTON MILLS IN SOUTH, DE.
MED COAL. MAY CLOSE.

Atlanta, Ca, November 27.-Orders
curtailing delivery of coal in the
South to the first classes in the pri-
ority list, which does not include
manufacturers, were issued tonight
by the regional director of the Rail
road Administration. The action
means the possible closing of cot
ton mills and manufacturing plants
when their present stocks are ex-
hausted.
Some reports from mills indicated
that they had only scant stock of
coal on hand
The regional director. in a state
ment explaining the reasons for the
curtailment order, said:
This action has become impera-
lively necessary because of the fail
ure of miners in the country's great
producing fields to return to work,
although in obedience to the Federal
Courts mandate, the union officials
recalled the strike order, which be-
came effective on November l.
Coal production, the statement add
ed, was still below requirements of

the policy of supplying their needs

SERVANT GIRLS PLAN TO ORGAN
IZE IN DIES MONIES.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 27.-Wives
of business men in Des Moines who
have let their husbands worry over
the demands of organized labor may
have to face and solve some of the
same demands. Quietly maids and
women servants have been making
inquiries at the headquarters of the
local Trades and Labor Assembly
about forming a union to improve
their working conditions. Nothing
definite has as yet been done, it is
said, but the inquiries show the trend
of thought. Questions said to have
been asked, in addition to process
of organization, are about minimum
wages, days off and either conditions
According to information available
here, there is but one successful
maids union in the United States,
and that is at San Diego Cal. There
was an informal organization here
several years ago, but it died a ma
tural death.

One of Most Valuable Properties Ac-
CURED Here by Negro.

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 25.-A real es-
tate deal of much interest to Negroes
of the city was that which was con-
sumated early this week in which
G. H. Bowen, the real estate dealer,
purchased the property on the south
west corner of Liberty and Price
streets from Solomon Shefftal.
The property fronts 60 feet on
Liberty street and extends back on
Price street to the lane, a distance
of 100 feet. That portion facing
Liberty street consists of a three
story red pressed brick building with
three stores on the ground floor and
two living apartments above while
that bordering on the lane and facing
price street is composed of detach-
ed two-story dwelling, also of red
pressed brick.
The property is very advantageous
ly located, being in a select white
section of the city in which property
values are increasing at a marvellous
rate. 1t is the first time that a Ne
gro has come into possession of a
piece of property in this immediate
vicinity. Its purchase price was in
the neighborhood of 100000, and it
is stated that it was bought as an

TEACHERS SHOULD ASSIST.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Participation
by teachers in solving the larger
problems of educational administra-
ton is indispensable to the best de-
velopment of the public schools"
and a necessary recognition of the
principle of democracy, according to
a report just issued by the national
education commission on emergency
in education.
Teachers working in the class
rooms of our public schools have con-
tributed ideas that have had a de-
termining influence upon educational
progress" was the report. Through
teachers councils, through commit
tees, through voluntary associations
and through individual recommends
tons teachers have concerned them
selves with the larger problems of
education administration to the great
benefit of the schools.
Boards of education and admins
trative officers in those communities
that have made the greatest progress
have recognized this principle. In
many places, by rule of the board,
or by invitation of the superinten-
dent, teachers organizations have
been requested to make recommended
tons affecting courses of study, the
adoption of text books, types of
building and equipment. the organiza-
ton of special classes and special
kinds of schools. and the formula
ton of budgets.
I'VE believe that this participation

WHOLE WORLD Is AT GRIPS
WITH II. c. OF L.
Reports to State Department Show
All Nations Seek Solution.

Washington, November 27.-That
the whole world is struggling with
the increased cost of living is indi-
Gated in reports to the State De-
partment. The increases in Europe
and particularly high, although in
Latin-America the governments are
anxious over the situation, and are
trying to find means of combating
the difficulties presented by the high
high prices of commodities deemed
essential.
In Portugal the government in an
attempt to lower the cost of living,
has placed, through the Minister of
Finance, a part of its gold reserves
in the bands of Libon.
In England the cost of living above
pre-war level is figured at lis per
cent for September and 100 per cent
for October, as to actual necessities
of life, and based upon average liv-
ing condition of wage earners. A
more distinct rise has occurred in the
cost of commodities so far as the
other elements of population in Eng
land are concerned, being unofficially
estimated by some at approximately
1876 per cent, with steady upward
trend.
In Sweden, figures furnished by
the Swedish, Government indicate
that the cost of living has increased
157 per cent over the cost in June,
1914. In the cities the increase has
been very much greater than the
average for the country
The Argentine Government has sug-
gested to other South American coun-
tries and discussed with them an in
ternational arrangement. with a view
to doing away with import duties in
manufactured food products as one
means of cutting down the high cost
of living.
