COMBINED METALS
CO. MINING ORE

The Combined Metals Mining
company has a small crew of men
employed underground engaged in
breaking ore from higher grade
shoot recently struck in the develop
ment work being prosecuted on the
big ore beds. The product now be-
ing broken carries an average ofs$2
in gold, 40 ounces in silver and 25.S
per cent in lead with some zinc con-
tanned.
The deposit occurs ON the fourth
level and while the present work has
no special significance it is hoped
that it will lead to increased produc-
tion from this valuable property.
Over 100000 tons Of ore is devel-
oped in the Combined Metals mine, a
portion of the Amalgamated Piocne
territory, but with high freight rates
and unfavorable treatment charges
it has been deemed advisable to with
hold this tonnage from market with
the reasonable expectation of greater
future profits.

The regular monthly meeting OF

Importance were discussed and ar

The matter of the Clubs repre-

and it was decided to carry the mat

there being no dissenting voices to
this arrangement which has been ap-
parently been most favorably receiv-
ed by the Phoebe district.
Replies received from the govern
ment indicate that no immediate
change will be made in the present
mail service, which seems to be
working out satisfactorily for the
district.
R. R. Orr suggested that the club
arrange for an auto trip to Ely and
meet with the Ely Chamber of Com
cerce. Reciprocity with our neigh

both organizations, more especially

BLACK METALS
COMPANY SHIPS
STEADY TONNAGE

A steady tonnage of ore is now
being shipped from the Black Metals
mine at Jackrabbit, one of the Snyder
properties, and Superintendent Quirk
is to be commended for SO speedily
placing the mine on a paying basis.
A night shift was added to the pres
ent working force yesterday and the
present production of about 40 tons
daily will be correspondingly increas-
ed. The new ore when first discov-
cred was in bedded formation but
last week the stope heading follow
ing the ore in the westerly direction
struck a fracture plane northwest by
southeast, the ore changing in char
acter and going up in chimney form
to the southeast, being fully 20 feet
by 40 feet in dimensions.
The ore is a heavy iron oxide
which shows the presence of lead car

vcr to the ton as mined. This high
er grade product is mixed with {
lower grade fluxing ore which ha'
been carrying about IL ounces in sill

shoot is apparently pitching over th'
325 foot stope to the southeast, ant

strate it's continuance to the surface

According to the statements Of tn

mine has seldom been in bette

ing operations should produce pro-

only pictures of the highest possible

in that theatre. One was started
several years ago but was ordered
of the screen.

at WEIGH the directors or the theatre
and representatives from the VII
mette schools and women's clubs
were invited guests. There was a
unanimous demand for the serial
and it was booked without delay.
Another case cited by Universal
in confirmation of it's contention that
WINNERS of the West is unique,
censor proof and highly instructive
as we'll as entertaining, is it's booking
by the Girard Avenue Theatre,
Philadelphia. Mr.. Zottmon, man
ager of that theatre, had barred
serials from his screen for more
than six years. 1t was only after he
found that the public schools in his
neighborhood were interested In
winners of the West" that he con
sidered it at all. He finally was solo
on the idea of trying it out. He rar
the first episode on three successive
days.

situation, Mr. Cobb states that the
