GREAT DISTRICT
 BARRICADED OFF, HOMES SEARCHED
House to House Hunt for Sim Feiners Made Under
 Protection of Guns.
CORK ALL BUT ISOLATED
Roads Surrounding City Torn Up by Trenches, Barricades
 to Stop Troops Passage.

DUBLIN. Feb 18-More than 1000 British troops, equipped with machine guns and armored cars, to- day began the most extensive raids iii the history of Dublin in search of Sim Feiners. All approaches to the Mountjoy section of the city, two square miles, were barricaded while searching parties made house to house searches. It is understood other districts likewise will be isolated
 For hundreds of miles throughout the southern and southwest portions of County Cork all principal roads have been rendered unfit for use, according to a report issued by Dublin Castle today.
 Trenches have been dug, barri- cades erected and bridges destroyed at all strategic points, making the movement of troops all but i'm possible.
 Massacre Revealed.
 The first detailed authentic ac- count of the killing of 17 Auxiliary Cadets of the Royal Irish COnstabu- lary by a party of Sim Feiners near Macroom, Ireland on Novem- Der 2S has just been obtained from the sole survivor of the ambushed party. Lieut.. II. F. Forde. The Lieutenant has recovered from his wounds in London military hos pital. All. previous accounts of the affair have been based on deduc- eye-witneSSes.
 Lieut.. Forde suffered a bullet wound in the head and was clubbed with the butt of a rife and left for dead.
 Cadets Ambushed.
 He says that the two motor cars carrying the cadets were attacked as they were passing rocky declivi- ties on either side just as the lead ing car ran into ditch which had been prepared for it. Many of those in the first car were wounded by the first fire from forces concealed behind huge rocks.
 Those in the second car came up and fought until the last man fell wounded Forde wGs lying wounded when he heard the order to cease fire. He adds: Then a large num- Der of attackers from both sides rushed into the road. They wore the uniform of British soldiers and handled Us all very roughly, not excepting the dead. After knock ing us about they called on us all to stand up.
 Two Shot Dead.
 Two of the party were able to get to their feet and were immed- lately shot down at close range by the 'shinners." One of the cadets near me groaned and turned over One of the civilians plunged a bayonet into his back. I muttered something and he turned to me and after cursing me. said it would be my turn next. l could see the others going through the clothing of the cadets who were being brut- ally treated One of the civilians tried to pull a gold ring from my finger but failed.

90 feet south Of the Huson shaft,

carries its own significance. The full
width of the vein has not been de-
ermined as yet, nor can it be def

ton on the main Silver Dale vein or
an entirely different one, but the
development work now in progress
will eventually tell the story. There

MOOnShiner Draws II Months
SLVERT1O2N SHOWING NEW FIGFIGEADE ORE BODIES
NEVAVA DES MONIES
MINE in LITIGATION

A law suit, in which the Nevada
Des Moines Bine, situated at Phoebe,
figured prominently, was tried in
Des Moines, Iowa, last week The
case attracted considerable interest,
owing to the business standing Of
the partise concerned in the action.
The property of the Nevada Des
Moines Mining company was origin
ally located in 1906 by Dan Mahedy
and assistants, and the mine came
into great local notoriety during the
spring Of 1908, when the manage
ment announced that diamond drill,
ing prosecuted from the bottom Of
the shaft, then 160 feet deep, had en-
tered and proven three profitable
fiat beds Of ore between 400 and 500
feet vertically below the surface.
These beds were situated between
the shale formation and a fat por-
phyry bed, closely adjacent to the
quartzite, the 1916 inch diamond
drill boring passing successively
through 20 feet of manganese ore,
assaying according to the lcal man
agement, 121 ounces in silver with a
high manganese-iron content. A
few feet underlying this bed, and
separated by shale, an S-foot bed Of
silver-lead ore was discovered, the
core from this fine ore body assaying
according to the company's records,
2.10 ounces in gold, COS ounces in
siver and 81 per cent in lead content.
Still further below 7-foot flat bed
ding OF shale was passed through,
and this core averaged 1920 ounces
in void and 2.S ounces in silver or
about one thousand dollars pei tor
in metal value.
Coincident with the published an
nouncement of these astonishing
findings great activity was noted in
the stock OF the company, and local
business men purchased 1prgs blocks
on the strength of the veraciiy Of
the statements issued by the man
agement.
The financing of the company was
accomplished through the efforts Of
the Mahedy Brothers, Bart ]. Cava-
naugh, prominent Des Moines at
torney, and H. J. Montgomery of the
credit rating department OF Dun
and Company, and with the funds
derived machinery and equipment
was purchased and the shaft sunk
to a depth Of ITS feet when water
was encountered which eventually
caused cessation Of operations other
than the annual assessment work.
Early in 1913, the property and
assets OF the Nevada Des Moines
Mining company were purchased BY
Cavanagh and Montgomery through
foreclosure Of a mortgage of a mort
foreclosure OF mortgage given
Cavanagh and Montgomery by the
Nevada Des Moines Mining company
in consideration Of funds advanced
for mine development, the amount
as shown on the Lincoln County rec
ords being $4,000. After thus ac-
quiring the property Cavanagh and
Montgomery entered into a contract
with the Selway Steel Post and
Fence company Of Des Moines, Iowa.
BY which the latter company gave
Cavanagh and Montgomery $4,000
cash and $4,000 in stock in the new
company to be formed for the op-

CON-
SHAFT IN ORE

The shaft at the Prince Consoli-
dated Mining company is bottomed
In solid body Of commercial ore,
according to Murray c. Godbe, presi-
dent, who returned from the mine on
Sunday. The mineral showing in the
shaft improved, Mr.. Godbe said,
from the 77O-foot down, and at sol
feet became solid ore. At S12 feet.
which was the depth when Mr.. God
be left, the values were increasing
nd the full thickness Of the ore
body could only be conjectured.
The shaft is 7x17 feet. Each foot
of depth calls for the removal Of 119
cubic feet of ma. Nrial. As the ore
encountered runs about ten cubic
feet to the ton, Mr.. Godbe says that
nearly ten tons of ore is broken with
every vertical foot gained. In the
last seven feet nearly seventy tons.
,'r close to two carloads, has been
produced he reports.
The ore in the shaft is cut off
from the silver" bedding, shown by
the diamond drill, by ths aew r,irer
alizing tissue through which the
shaft recently passed. Apparently
the new fissure has had a powerful
n,ineralizing influence on the solu-
hle1s tIata, and may be the means Of
extending the ore .,e.o'rg hundreds
OF tect beyond the area replaced by
seluf',Ls from tha No. fissurc to
re east.
Mr.. Godbe says that level will
be driven northeasterly from the
shaft under the silver" bedding
At the time the shaft was begun the
are in and the requirements from
No. fissure, 23O feet east or the
shaft, were the sole detectives. Now
the new assure promises to contain
as much high-grade ore as the No.
q, and to replace with ore as large
an area of the soluble limestone.
The water in the shaft, Mr.. Cod
De says, increased slightly when the
broken mp formation was entered
but at no time exceeded the flow en-
countered previously higher up in
the shaft, and is now ,decreasins
again. The heaviest flow yet develop
ed BY the shaft was at the 5s3-foo,
level. This flow was only about one.
third the capacity OF the pumss and
was speedily reduced. Water ia M

management Of the company.
The plan Of development includes
a Drift under the silver beddine. !.

and a drift north along the new

expected to be productive almost
from the start, according to the man.
