FLORENCE DRIVING
cROsscUTS RAPIDLY
BOESCH LEASE COMES TO THE
FRONT WITH FOUR CAR
LOAD SHIPMENTS

The southeast crosscut being
driven on the fifth level of the Flor
ence to explore the southern part of
the Cornishman claim and territory
leased from the Red Hill has been
advanced 266 feet from the south
drift on this level. The west cross
cut is 400 feet long and the FORM
alton is changing rapidly, indicating
that the vein known to be near tins
point in the footwall is close. Re-
ports showing the distances these
drifts are driven weekly indicate
that exceptionally fast progress is
being made.
The Boesch lease in the Riley
block has made four carload ship
ments of ore assaying from $50 to
$50 within the past ten days, with
quantity of ore still in sight.
Boesch is working above the fifth
level Dunn and Thomas Mccall
are preparing to ship from the 500
foot level of the Engineers block
and Adamson, Traynor and Mccall
are almost ready to ship a carload
from the Nevadan block. in the

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
n SIMON SILvfR-lEAD
ORE Is FOUND BEYOND FAULT
SOUTHEAST OF
SHAFT

The most important discovery in
the Simon silver-lead mine in re-
cent months was made when the
northeast crosscut from the south
east drift on the 300-foot level en-
tered the vein beyond the fault.
The throw Of the fault was found to
be co feet and the crosscut is being
continued in ore Of high grade.
From the last measurement pub
lished for the northwest drift and
estimates of the distance between
the fault in that direction and that
to the southwest the orebody has
now been opened for distance of
about 500 feet, with the recent dis
covery making possible the exist
ence of ore many hundreds of feet
beyond the present workings in both
directions ON the strike of the vein.
From reports published at different
times it is estimated that the
greatest width to which the ore has
been proved is about It's feet, IL
lustrating the huge size of the body.
The following details of the new
find are contained in a report by
j. o. Greenan, in charge of work
at the Simon:
The 502 crosscut on the fifth
level (300 FOOT struck southeast
segment of the Simon vein Tuesday.
The vein is thrown about so feet
to the northeast by a fault which
passes near the Bell, or Upper Shaft,
about 600 feet southeast from the
shaft This fault is exposed on the
tunnel level. on the 500 and 400,
but on account of the fact that
tnese three exposures had not been
correlated, no work had ever been
done to the northeast beyond the
fault until recently. This crosscut
isi the first to be driven to the
northeast Beyond the fanlt, and the
throw is almost exactly the same

first four feet consists of crushed
vein material, which the last two
feet and the entire face is a solid

The strike IS of the utmost impor-
ance, as it proves that the south
east segment of the vein persists
to depth; the values are known to
be high; the width remains to be
seen. AS this segment of the vein
can be traced on surface approxi-
mately. for 700 feet, finally passing

J|TNEY CARRIERS
WILL [HELPSWELL
THE C|TY'S FUNDS

According to the ordinance pub
lished by the city council of Ely. the
persons engaged in the jitney tusi-
ness will have to pay a semi-annual
license of $50 for each vehicle used
in the service and obtain a permit for
each stand along the street used by
the cars.
July and January of each year is
the time designated for the regular
issue of the licenses, but it appears
that licenses will be issued at any
time during the year good for six
months. The city furnishes a Ii
cense card which must be displayed
on the jitney and the right is re-
served to revoke any license issued
or refuse an application.
The permits issued are obtained
by written application with the con-
sent of the tenant on the ground
floor of any place of business In
front of which the jitney is station
ed. This permit will remain in force
from the time issued until the last
day of December following. In case
the tenant who gives consent to the
stand removes from the premises,
the permit becomes void. II the stand
is located in front of a vacant build
ing, the consent of the owner of the
property or his agent is necessary
before perhmt will be granted.
No more than six such stands shall
be allowed on one side of the street
in the same block and no more than
one vehicle owned by the same per-
son is allowed in the same block
without a special permit. A jitney
will not be allowed to stand within
ten feet of any street crossing or FIRE
hydrant.
Application for permits in writing.
stating the number of vehicles used

tions is punishable by both fine and

RUSH TO REDEEM WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS CAUSES
INCONVENIENCE At P. 0.

During the past week at the Ely
postoffice the amount of war saving
stamps cashed was about $1,000. with
the prospect of steady increase il
stamps being redeemed by the public.
This is working a hardship on the
local Office, as the funds available
for the payment of the war saving
stamps are not sufficient to meet the
demand and the stamps have to be
sent TO the Reno postoffice for pay
ment.
The postal regulations require that
the money used for cashing war
stamps shall come out of the postal
revenues and not out of the war saw
ing fund, and as very few second
class Offices in this state have post
al revenue great enough to meet the
demands for the cashing of war
stamps, the burden of handling this
business falls on Reno.
1t is understood that the Reno Of
fee is unable to handle at once all
the demands made on them for i'm
mediate cash, and the owners of the
certificates who want cash for them
have to wait until the Office at Reno
can secure the money by order of
the postmaster general.
Reno is the depository Office for
the postoffices in the state and the
smoney received from the different Of
fees is deposited with the United
States treasury where it appears that
an order from the postmaster general
is necessary before money can be sent
to the depository ocffie to cover any
demand upon 1t for cash.
The arrangement for the cashing
of the war certificates seems to oe a
very complicated affair. The money
received from the sale OF stamps is
reported to the war saving branch Of
the postoffiee, but the amount of
money paid out of the postal funds
for the redemption of these stamps
is not TO be reported at once. From
this 1t would appear that false idea
of the amount of money available at
once in the war saving fund is the
result
To the ordinary observer this ar
rangement seems very complicated.
For example, when the local office is
out of funds to cash war certificates,
the same are sent to the depository
office, where, II the demand is great
er than can be met, the cash must be
obtained from Washington from the
postal funds. Then when the final
adjustment is made, the money must
be transferred from the war saving
fund back into the postal fund.
The delay caused by this method is
not meeting with the approval of
the investors In war certificates who
often need the money tied up in the
stamps at once, and as the under
standing was that the stamps were
redeemable In ten days, the result is
that the sale of the new Issue of war
stamps is not progressing az it
should be.
