BANKS DISCOUNT CANADIAN
MONEY

Announcement was received in the
city Thursday that a discount on
Canadian money would be made by
the Seattle banks of 10 per cent. In
order to protect themselves the local
banks adopted this rule Thursday
morning as they would have to dis
pose of what Canadian money they
would have on hand by Friday morn-
ing. As it is they are caught with a
considerable amount of Canadian cur
rency and silver and will have to
stand the loss.
The primary reason for the action.
of the Seattle banks is to stop the ac-
tive speculation in the city in Cana
dian silver money. With American
exchange at a premium of Az to 5
per cent in Canada, it is possible to
take a bank draft from the United
States into Canada and obtain s1,050
in Canadian silver. This is then
brought back into the United States
and passed at par with a profit Of
$50 on the thousand invested. 1t is
to do away with this condition that
the banks have announced a ten per
cent discount on Canadian silver. On
Canadian currency the discount is
only 5 per cent and the reason for the
larger discount on silver is that the
bulky nature is such in coin ship
ments which have to be sent by ex-
press, causes a heavy expense, while
the currency can be sent out by mail
at a slight cost.-Cle Elum Echo.

1OO,O 600 AUTOMOBILES SHORT OF
DEMAND

Several prominent automobile
agents in Automobile Row, New York,
being asked whether they could deliver
a new car at once, on spot cash order
stated that it was very difficult to get
any new car because there were de-
mands for 100000 more than can now
be delivered.
1t it too soon after the war for all
the materials to be procured. 1t takes
considerable time for the automobile
manufacturers to reach the full run
ming capacity necessary to enable
them to catch up with the ever-grow-
ing demand.
A conservative estimate of the out
put for this year, 1919, is 1000, 900
passenger cars; 100000 trucks and
100000 tractors. The demand for
motorcycles and motor boats is also
increasing.
This infant giant, known as the au-
tomotive industry, has grown in
twenty years to be the third largest
in the United States and influences
the prosperity of nearly every indus
try and trade in the civilized world.

Mcmahon, secretary for the Reor-
ganized Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany, has issued the following
statement of mine conditions:
Shareholders are advised that
since report of Dec. z, 1918, the
most important development ac-
complished was the sinking of the
winze in the east vein from the
320-foot level. The winze en-
countered the hanging wall of the
Cracker Jack vein at depth of
so feet east and passed through
from six to eight feet of quartz
that returns uniform assay values
of So to $4 per ton, with occa-
sional assays of higher value. The
winze has reached depth of 65
feet and at this writing station
is being cut. The station will be
finished in about one week, follow
ing which drifts will be extended
as rapidly as possible both north
erly and southerly along the strike
of the vein. In the judgment of
the management and that of duali-
fled engineers of the district, the
occurrence here of good values,
even though low, looks we'll for
the future possibilities of the mine
at this and deeper levels. The
gold is associated with other base
metals found in the Goldfield dis
trict and it appears necessary only
to continue development in the ore
shoot with the assurance that the
values will improve.
Mining operations carried on
in the territory held under lease
from the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company and the Florence
Goldfield Mining company, on ac-
count of delays, have been some
what disappointing to date, al
though the work is now being en-
ergetically prosecuted.
"As a result OF our work on the
400-foot level in the leased terri
tory, we encountered an extensive

With the attention of the big
Divide interests turning constantly
to the southern part of that dis
trict, the Klondyke region, with the
most heavily mineralized surface in
all the rich territory between Gold
field and Tonopah, has for the past
month been attracting the attention
of mining men and a number of i'm
portant sales have been consum-
mated there recently, the last being
the purchase by Las Vegas and Cal
ifornia people of the Clark group
for what is said to have been Il
large cash consideration.
The "cap rock" of the Divide dis
trict has become a common term,
principally because it has been found
that valuable ore bodies cannot be
opened until this everything forma-
tion has been penetrated. Contrary
to the "cap rock" condition in the
Divide district proper, the ore-bear-
ing formation is found in the Klon-
dyke region directly on the surface,
and in places ore chutes are ex-
posed which are very rich. For
years prospectors have worked in
termittently at Klondyke, securing
excellent results from highly miner
allied quartz veins near the surface
and at many places rich ore has
been taken out The benefit that
will accrue to this district from the
Divide excitement lies in the capital

tion at depth and on large scale.

DIVIDE NINE WORKING
IN H|GH-GRADE ORE

Driving Of a crosscut to the vein
on the fifth level of the Tonopah
Divide has not yet been started, the
delay being caused by the erection
of new electric machinery. The
fourth level crosscut is being con-
tinued in good ore, with rich mate
rial being found in quantity at nu-
merous places. No official an
nouncement as to the length of
workings or value of ore have been
made by the management recently,
but new figures are expected to be
furnished for publication within a
short time. and 1t is rumored that
they will show high average figures
for the fourth level drift, which will
remain the center of interest until
crosscutting for the vein is started
on the fifth level. Shipments OF
high average grade continue at a
rate of 60 tons weekly.

the timber which frequently will
make necessary blasting.
When A. I. Darcy, manager OF
the Development company, first es-
timated the ore to be mined at
100000 tons, 100000 tons in the
Red Top was not included in the es-
innate, as this was found through
sampling later. A thorough samp-
ling of the material in the Red Top
has shown that this will average
from to IS a ton, with a possi-
bility amounting almost to a err
tainty that development will expose
a further large tonnage, as there is
great area of unexplored territory
in the mine.
Nothing has yet been done toward
placing the mill in condition, as it
has been found that few repairs will
be necessary. Work will not be
started until the mines are almost
ready to produce.

financed through the brokerage firms
of C. N. Miller and company of
Tonopah and F. M. Dorsey and COM
pany of Goldfield, the members of
which are old operators in southern

One hundred thousand shares of
treasury stock will be sold at 10

porated for 100000 shares, 750,-
900 of which will be retained in the
treasury.
With funds furnished by wealthy
Minneapolis, Chicago and Wisconsin
men, it is reported that work will be
started on a large scale within 80
days on the Marinette, from the
lower workings of which Is carloads
of good ore were shipped years ago.
A 250-foot incline shaft on the
Marinette has gained a depth of 800
feet in the vein and so feet of
drifting has been done from this
shaft. A 77-foot shaft will be made
the main working shaft by the new
management and it is expected to
cut the vein at shallow depth, at a
point where 1t is believed from the
early operations ore will be found.
A deal is also reported to be pend
ing for group southwest of the
Marinette and it is said this group
will be acquired by New York inter
ests who recently purchased claims
north of Cactus and 40 miles from
Tonopah from a squaw man who has
been working them for years. 1t is
reported that q huge tonnage of ore
assaying from $S to $36 per ton has
been exposed in these claims, which
were patented eight years ago.

says the ore was found at a depth
of three feet in surface trench
that he had been working in for
10 days. Millek showed pieces of
ore showing free gold in small
quantity. He says he has owned
the claims for Is years and that
he has done 400 feet of develop
ment work in that time, principal
ly in driving tunnels, where low
grade milling ore is exposed.

ING EXCELLENT RESULTS
FROM WORK

The main tunnel of the Austin
Nevada Consolidated has entered
full face of ore assaying $14.60
in silver and gold per ton and is
advancing rapidly on the vein,
which shows a width of more than
so feet near the surface. East of
the gulch ore assaying $500 per
ton is being broken across the face
of the massive vein. which shows
Ia width of SIS feet.
The management is arranging
to build a road to this tunnel and
to install timbers and track, pre-
liminary to vigorous development
cf the high-grade vein which is
developing into one of the greatest
orebodies found in this famous
field Vigorous work has been
resumed in the Hiawatha tunnel
and one of the veins has been in
tersected, showing four feet of
ore. Drifting on a rich stringer
fro,n this tunnel is also in prog
ross. with the purpose of tapping
one of the principal orebodies en-
rosed near the surface.
rbc Hiawatha tunnel is rapidly
nearing the system of huge veins
which yielded $60,000,0O0 in the
adjoining Austin Manhattan group,
with ore assaying $50 in silver
ana gold showing in the face.
This tunnel is expected to inter-
sect several large ledges at an
prcNimate intervals of 100 feet,
this belief being based on exter-
sive surveys on surface and care
full study of the general strike of
the orebodies. Several drifts and
crosscuts are showing high-grade
quartz, and Manager H. G. Rich
ardson confidently expects the Aus
tin Nevada Consolidated to become
one of the greatest silver-gold
producers of Nevada before the
year ends.
New workings in the Austin
Dakota group have been opened
in ore assaying 800 to $500 in
silver, and heavy shipments to Gus
tom mills will soon start. The
orebodies are being developed in
virgin ground, and has definitely
added an extensive acreage of rich
mineralized territory to the prov
en- ore zone of tn district.
The Diana shaft workings of the
Austin Manhattan group are rap
idly being placed in condition for
extensive production. This work
is advancing in territory neglected
by pioneer operators, and promises
to place a large tonnage of ship
ping ore in sight. This company
is also preparing to work large
of ore formerly too low
grade to produce, but which can
be marketed at an attractive profit
with silver at it's present price.
Unwatering of the Cummings &c
Kearns property in Amador canyon
has begun. A gasoline hoist has
been purchased and will be imme-
diately placed on the shaft. High
grade ore was exposed in the low
er workings when the mine was
last operated. and with silver at
the dollar mark the owners expect
to produce heavily this year.
