MINING NOTES Of
P|OCHE DISTRICT

The Prince Consolidated Mining and
Smelling Company is shipping at the
present time over 5000 tons per month
and has produced from January l. 1920,
to date the large total of 6.151.7S tons.
The ore is of the usual fluxing grade,
rs per cent of the total tonnage being
derived from the prolific Davidson bed
and the remainder is being mined from
the Prince big bed. Arrangements Will
shortly be completed for the resump-
ton of the sinking of the main shaft
to the lower bed. A pleasing improve
ment Is to be noted in the greater eff
ficiency Of the underground labor en-
ployed. Production is being main
tanned with fewer men. who are show
ing a spirit of loyalty to the company.
which insures economy of operation.
The Virginia Louise Mining Company
is doing a large amount of develop
ment work and the orebodies are prov
ing to be larger than expected and are
we'll up to the average grade. large
tonnage is being shipped and with an
| improving lead market proceeds from
| sales of ore should be quite satisfac-
tory.
A large number of leasers are oper-
ating on the properties Of the Anal
gamated Phoebe Mines and Smelters
| Corporation and results are uniformly
good, especially considering the lack
of capital for development and the sur
face equipment at the disposal of th'

MINUS BEARD,
CARRANzA0FF
FOR YFRACRUz
tBy Unrrrd r.ess1


San Antonio, Tex, May 13.-First
having his flowing beard removed,
General Carranza, deposed president
and dictator of Mexico, fled from
Mexico City on Saturday night for
Vera Cruz, to escape capture by the
revoIutionsts, according to an appar-
entity authentic report reaching here
today. After CarranZa and his party
had reached Huamantla, the report
says they were surrounded by revo-
lutlonists and surrendered as their
capture was imminent.
BY shaving off his beard, it is said
that Carranza passed through cor
dons of rebel soldiers without being
recognized, the loss of his formerly
conspicuous beard completely altering
his appearance, Rebel soldiers to
whom his train was surrendered at
Huamantla did not recognize him, and
he passed unnoticed between their
ranks and made his escape Federal
soldiers on his train did not recog-
nize him as he escaped his captors and
left his party and his train in their
possession.
