idly. The trip of Mr.. Darcy has
been a complete success, according
to H. C. Mcmahon, secretary for
the company. On completion of
this. plant the Florence management
will do everything possible to stim-
ulate the mining. of low grade ore
by lessees.,
The main south drift of the De-
velopment company. through which

operations /. in territory leased from
the Florence, Is close to the north
end line of the Florence, which it
will enter at about the seventh
level. The drift is being driven on
the 3SO-foot level of the Combina-
ton.
The Florence mana cement and
the lessee are optimistic regarding
the Florence Divide lease, the main
producer. The last three carloads
of ore shipped assayed $50, SIP,
and $246 per ton. These were the
nineteenth, twentieth and twenty
first cars. 1t is regarded as prob
able that smelter returns will show
the last to assay we'll over $246.
Three seams are now being mined,
the last two discovered being far
ther back into the hanging wall OF
the vein from the original bonanza
stope. Eighty feet below this stope

being continued in high grade ore
,, Part of the ore in the twenty-first
car came from this raise. All ore
lis now being shipped as broken
the most economical manner OF
handling it.
A carload of $50 ore recently was
'shipped from the Dolcic lease in the
old Wheeler block, considered one
of the most hopeless places in the
mine until Dolcic started work and
within short time took out his
first carload. The block had been
turned down by many prospective
lessees. Dolcic is now employing
more miners.

MINING MAN PREDICTS
GREATEST SILVER BOOM
BY JAMES F. O'BRIEN

LOVELOCK, New, Oct. 6.-Mark
Walser, president of the Nevada
Packard Mining company, was here
this week on the way to the mino
for a visit of inspection. Mr.. Wal
ser has just returned from two
months stay in the financial centers
of the east, during which time he
spoke with many who study and
write on financial subjects. He
states that it is the prediction of
practically all of these men that
this country is on the eve of the
greatest silver boom the world has
ever known and that it will be in
full swing before the month is out.
This prediction is based on good
reasoning and az showing that
others are figuring on the same
fundamental reasoning they state
that there is now in New York
5000, 100000 of English money
seeking investment in American in
dustries, with silver given the pref
erence. The increasing price OF
silver is so substantially based that
the financial writer's believe the
price will go to So an ounce unless,
in the near future, the American
congress and the nations of Europe
take definite action in fixing the
price.
It Is claimed that America of late
has not produced enough silver for
domestic uses, to say nothing of the
demand for coinage purposes. At
the outbreak of the war the people
of France, 1t is said, began to hoard
silver, and that other European
countries have since followed suit
when they were flooded with un-
limited. II cheap, paper money. In
dia and China have always been sinks
for silver, and the demand from
them has always heel great.
AS an explanation of the immense
sum of English. money which has
come here for investment, it is
stated that the taxation in England
and its colonies is now so great that
the investment of big capital is un-
profitable. And big money always
looks for the best returns and will
go where 1t finds them.

NEWS FROM MINES
OF SIMON DISTRICT
CROSSCUT ON 900 FOOT LEVEL
OF SIMON STILL IN
ORE

The Pilot Crown silver Mining
company, whose claims are located
in the Cinnabar district, about IL
miles southeast of Nina, has issued
a circular describing the property,
and offering a block of shares for
sale. Considering the richness of
the adjoining quicksilver properties
of the Drew Bugge company and the
Booth mine, the Pilot Crown has
great possibilities.
Ernest Rackliff, general manager
for the Simon Silver Lead East Ex-
tension, is enthusiastic over the
outlook for his mine. The shaft
has revealed vein of high grade
ore, and the formation indicates a
good future for the property.
Work is steadily progressing on
the new buildings at the Mlnerai
Bell, to replace those destroyed by
fire last week.
Drifting is still going forward
from the 10 foot level of the Con-
solidated West Extension. The man
'agement, hopes to pick up the ex-
tension of, the Simon Silver Lead
orebody soon.
3 The shaft or the Simon Nina is
going down steadily at rate of
three feet day and samples are
showing assays of an encouraging
nature.
The crosscut on the 800 foot level
of the Simon Silver Lead which cut
through the rhyolite hanging wall
into a high grade orebody fort
night ago, now shows a width of
81 feet and is still in ore.

divide MINES REOPEN
.AFTERLONGLAB9RW WAR
GOVERNOR ISSUES STATEMENT
DECLARING STRsKE ENDED
IN SILVER DISTRICTS

An official proclamation an
nouncing that the strike which en-
forced idleness in the Tonopah and
Divide mines since August IT. has
been, called off, was issued by Gov
ernor Boyle. The settlement was
effected through new organization
of miners and mill workers under
an American Federation charter.
Governor Boyle's proclamation
warned against interference with
the returning workers.
The Tonopah and Divide Mine
and Millmen's union, newly organ
lied, has ended the Tonopah-Divide
strike and work was resumed in
the two districts on October 4. This
decision was reached at meeting
held in Tonopah after the craft
unions had called off the strike.
Governor Boyle issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The Tonopah and Divide strike is
officially declared off.
Craftsmen and mine and mill
workers included in all of the labor
organizations here which profess
American principles have officially
voted to return to work. No other
type of organization or mob hat
any legal or other standing in this
state, nor will any such aggregation
be permitted to libel any town or
district in Nevada ny any form OF
published or spoken allegation that
strike originated by it is in force
or that any workman is a scab.
Men returning to work must not
under any set of circumstances be
molested or insulted because of tn.
action that they may take in such
return.
The full power of the state is
back of every member of an Ameri-
can union who acts in conformity
with the legal decision of the body
with which he is affiliated, and
therefore back, in this instance, of
every decent man who desires to
work.

The modern mine rescue breath

respirable gases formed by mine
fires or mine explosions.
There are several types of breath
ing apparatus, one of which depends
on liquid air for the breathing sup
ply, second depends upon the gem
Grafton of oxygen from chemical
compound, third depends upon
normal air under pressure, and
&, fourth, which is most widely known
| in America, depends upon pure oxy-
gen under high pressure for it's air
supply.
The history of breathing appara-
tus dates from the year 1868, when
device was used similar to the
submarine divers helmet. Prac-
tically all succeeding forms were
built along similar lines until 1896,
when the present portable self-con-
tanned type was devised and used
abroad. The first se!f-contained ap-
paratus to be used in the United
States were four sets imported in
1907 by the Anaconda Copper Min
| ing company of Butte, Montana. In
September, 1908, breathing appara-
tus was purchased by the Tech

The gross production of the Flor
enec from July IL, the date on
which the new management as
sumed control, to October 2, was
S150,5O5.91, according to figures
furnished by E. A. Byler, engineer
for the company. Mr.. Byler said
this figure is practically exact. The
entire production was made by
lessees. The first 22 lots shipped
and for which the smelters have
settled totaled $12o,695.91. Lots
% to 81, en- route to smelters, are
estimated to be worth $29,S1O.
This production, made in less
than three months, is ample ilus-
tration OF what "live" company
with a liberal leasing policy can ac-
complish in redeeming mine. The
lessees are furnishing the parent
company with funds for the most
comprehensive exploration of new"
territory done in this district in
many years and the results being
obtained caused Sommer Schmidt,
general manager for the company,
to say recently:I "The future of the
Florence looks brighter, if we have a
reasonable break in luck and If
we find ore in our new work we
will be in a better position than
ever to handle it, as it can be
treated in the Development mill"

Marconi replied:

there why should they stop? 1t is like

"What is thaty' asked Begbic.
Communication with intelligence on

of the planets are much older than
ours, the beings who live there ought

at is silly to say the other planets

atmosphere or are SO hot or are 80 diff
fcrent from the earth. If there were
no fish in the sea should we say life is

The interviewer agreed, but objected
that language difficulty seemed the
present obstacle which was impossible
to surmount.
"Well, it is an obstacle,' Marconi
replied. "but ! don think i. is in
