RUBY HILL

Chute connections have been made
from the 500 foot level of the LOGAN
shaft with the old 1900 level OF the
Eureka Con-. so that the ore now be-
Ing taken out of the drifts In the lat
ter company's workings falls unin-
terrupted to the chute gates in the
LOGAN level, and is hoisted to surface
from there. Shipments are made
daily to Utah smelters.
Good progress is being made In
cutting the pump station on the 900
level. This will be 26x4O feet in
size when finished, and two station
pumps will be placed there, to handle
the water encountered when shaft
sinking commences.
UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED
Two shifts have been driving the
main tunnel, which has now advanced
lao feet beyond the face that was ex-
posed when the present company took
hold.
An unexpected width to the rhyo-
lite intrusion has delayed entering
the brecciated zone of assuring that
has been so prominent in the old
workings Of this property, and sever
al days will elapse before this zone Is
encountered. But delay is accept
able to the operators, as the porphyry
Is exceptionally well mineralized, and
presents all the appearances of sim
liar intrusions when near the ore de-
posits OF that vicinity.
EUREKA-KING
The ore showing In the winze, 1900
feet from the portal of the Eureka
tunnel, continues to improve. Yes
terday there was a width of 40 inch
es of solid ore in the bottom, the
width having increased 16 inches in
the last four feet of depth gained in
the winze. No assays have yet been
returned. but the appearance of the
ore indicates high silver contents
from the large amount of chlorides
together with a probability of
gold. and more silver values in the
heavy iron portions of the vein ma
terial.
EUREkA-CLIMAX
Good pipes OF ore continue to be
found in the Mabel l.. tunnel, which
Is now in the Deadbroke claim. No
attempt is being made to extract any
ore beyond the amount occurring as
the tunnel material is excavated.
This is being piled at the entrance,
and assays well, one of the recent
containing more than 140
ounces of silver, gold and lead con-
tents. The face of the tunnel is now
beyond the cave recently reported
and is being driven ahead by two
shifts of miners.

STATE HISTORY STARTED
County Committee Established to
Gather Data for Publication, and
to Aid Historical Society IN
Other Ways

Miss Jeanne Elizabeth Weir, the
secretary OF the State Historical So
ciety of Nevada, has been visiting
some of the county seats establishing
committees in order to get the work
started on the State History.
A law was passed by the last Leg
islature making an appropriation for
the publication OF State History.
covering the activities in the World
War of every Nevadan who enlisted.
or was drafted in this State, or any
where else; the law provided that
when the history was completed one
copy was to be given to the family of
each soldier, extra copies to be sold
and the proceeds to be returned to
the State.
At the same time Miss Weir and
ier friends took up the matter Of q
new building site for the Historical
Museum at Reno, and after consid-
cradle hard work obtained the coop
Grafton of the members of the Legis-
iature and secured the lot adjoining
the present museum. An effort win
De made to secure an appropriation
from the next Legislature to erect q
building on the lot which will rank
the Nevada Historical Museum build
ing among the finest In the United
States.
There will necessarily be q lot Of
work in connection with the gather
ing of data for the State History,
also in connection with securing fer
the Society relics of the olden days.
which, in the museum will be safe
and protected.
To carry out the work as outlined
from time to time by the State a
County Committee has been appoint
ed, the members of which represent
various organizations and occupations
and is composed of the following:
Edna Covert Plummer. Chairman.
w. H. Russell. Local Draft Board.
]. B. Biale. County Counsel of De-
fense.
Mrs. Sophie Zadow. woman's
Equality League.
Mrs. e. A. skillman, newspaper
and general publicity work.
Mrs. L. w. Hope. State writings,
particularly original poems.
Raymond Swick and Theodore
johnson. representing the American
Legion.
AS soon as the materials and in
structions are sent in from Carson
City and Reno, the committee will be
called together and the work started.
1t is the hope of the committee that
every bit of available information
concerning any Nevada boy who was
in the service, no matter where he
enlisted or was drafted, will be sub
,aitted to the committee and that
the questionaires when submitted to
the returned soldiers will be filled in
promptly and fully.
Also, If any of the returned SOL
diers have anything at all in the way
of relics or souvenirs of the war that
they would loan to the Society for
display in their museum. the commit
lee would be glad to have them SUBJ
nit the same, attached to a tag or
notice containing the name and ad-
dress of the owner. date when such
souvenir was secured, and where. 1t
is, of course, understood that any
such articles can be removed from the
State institution by the owner at any
time.

Every voter. regardless of politics,
should read the Democratic National
platform which will be found on page
seven of this issue. Its promises are
clean cut and comprehensive and every
live issue which confronts the nation
today is recognized and the attitude
OF the Democratic party on each is
clearly defined in words which leave
no room for misunderstanding. Un-
like the Republican platform, there is
no straddling, no evasion and no
clubbing phrases placed therein for
expcliency. 1t proudly and fearless.
ly reviews the record of the party
and unhesitatingly submits to the
American people a program for the
advancement of civilization, human
ity and Americanism which must pre-

patriotic citizen.

people. He was thrice elected gov
ernor of Ohio and was stronger each
succeeding election, record un-
cqualed in the political history of
any state in the nation. When
charged that he was wet candidate
at Frisco he had the courage to give
it the lie, in the face of alternating big
delegations like New York that were
contending for a wet plank in the
platform. He let it be known that
he would not be a candidate for any
section or faction of the party, but
would stand upon the platform for
the best government of the whole
people of the country. With such !
candidate and platform the Demo
cratic party is sure of success.

OUR PLATFORM AND CANDIDATE

The Democratic convention in San
Francisco will go down in history as
one of the strongest and most repre-
sentative conventions of the Amer'-
calf people ever held. From the very
start. during its prolonged existence,
to its end it was a deliberative body
of duly elected and accredited rep
resentatives of the Democratic par
ty. without restraint and controlled
only by the one desire of making the
best platform and nominating the
strongest candidate possible.
No man or set of men had control.
All leaders were given courteous at
tention and even ovations, then the
convention settled down to the bust
ness before it. The. delegates re-
fused to be stampeded. The result
shows the majority judgment after
full and fair consideration of all
claims.
The platform meets fairly and fear
lessly every predominating issue be-
fore the American people today and
every Democrat throughout the
length and breadth of the land can
proudly give it loyal support. without
apology or excuse.
James E. Cox was the logical
nominee. He is nor new and untried
person. but q I'm who has fought
his way up IRON the bottom to the
present commanding heights by his
great ability and wonderful energy.
He has been repeatedly tried in the
public crucible and has come out pure
gold. He has carried his party to
success in . big Republican. state be-
