The Comet district, situated about
nine miles southerly from Phoebe.
has a number of interesting mining
properties and development work,
based on careful study OF the exist
ing geological conditions should be
productive OF profitable results.
The district is credited with sub
stantial production. gained for the
most part, from small scale opera
tions by leasers, lured by the ex-
treme richness Of the re when found
and Its demonstrated desirability as
shipment product Awing to the
naturally narrow veins containing
this high grade ore, the district has
been classed as one suitable to chlor-
iders, when as matter Of fact great
opportunities for the development of
large medium grade tonnages OF
shipping ore exist, eminently suita-
BILE for Conservative company opera
ton.
The property of the Tungsten
Comet Mining company is credited
with the largest production and Il
equipped with modern machinery
and a concentrating mill. The ores
contain an appreciable tungsten con.
tent and several cars of tungsten
concentrates were shipped durins
the war; on account OF it's great de
pendence on the gold values contain
ed in the ore, the mill is idle at ths
present time. E. D. Smiley of Pioch,

feet distinct economies in the trans
portation of ores and supplies be-
tween the camp of Bristol and the
railroad but would prospect the
Bristol and Black Metal formations
with it's great possibilities for addi-
tional ore discovery.
The drifting now being done from
the new shaft will make readily
available the recently discovered ore
body which has been proven to be
135 feet long by 110 feet wide and
this ore will be now worked from
the 900 foot level up to the 600 foot
level, with the now possible ease and
efficiency Of handling the production
of the Bristol Silver Mines property
is expected to reach 100 tons day
and the management does not antici-
pate the production to fail below 65
tons day at any time in the future.
The new Bristol ore body is one
OF the most remarkable deposits dis

The Lyndon Mine. now owned by
Chas. Sehodde. adjoins the Tung-
stem Comet mine and has made an
enviable record as a producer Of
high grade silver ore. Fifteen thou
sand tons of such ore has been ship

duction of 100000 and large ton
nages Of lower grade silver ores are
still available. The cost Of haulage.

not, even now, exceed $3.50 a ton,
existing smelter contracts being very
favorable to low cost treatment.
thus ores containing 2s ounces in
silver can be profitably handled by
conservative company operation,
undoubtedly large tonnages Of such
ore could be shipped from the areas
now opened.

Mine and the Tungsten Comet lies

SHAFT IS NOW COMPLETED
SHIPMENTS WILL Be INCREASED

The new shaft at the property of
the Bristol Silver Mines Company,
near Phoebe, which was sunk to con-
meet the 600 foot level with the 900
foot level was completed this week
and drifting has begun to open up
the ore body on the latter level. Ar
rangements have also been made to
raise the heading through the sur
face, this work will be carried on
from three levels simultaneously
and will not interfere with the pro-

900 levels are connected with theh
new shaft 1t is estimated that it will
take thirty days to complete this lat

With increased production fatten-

Yet the question was brought up
again, two hours later, when Fannie

Storrow there, alone in the paling

" fran and flexible, were
more played upon by their
environment, were susceptible to
influences unknown to men. 1t
was the duty of the weak.
And with Torrie, after all,
it was a matter OF weakness, of
surrender to impulse. She did not
differ from other women. except
that she was more vital. Even
Charlotte. Kirkner, sheltered and

Hard Times

rrARD times are with us once

- journing. we have. to work
for iron men that once were ours
for burning. Erstwhile we tossed
them to the wind, with laughter
loud and Jolly, but now our step we
have to mind and cease that sort of
folly. But. though we work a little
more to I'LL the yawning larder. that
hard times will keep US harder! Oh.
when the cash came rolling in, our
waistline went to growing; we had
been syiph-like. 1.-the and thin ere
tides Of wealth came flowing. But
that was when we used our feet for
errands here and thither: we tod
died up and down the street with
pep no work could wither. In later,
plutocratic days we quit all forms
Of working; we left the simple. home
ly ways for tdleness and Sinking.
We dawdled in our easy chair. we
wallowed in our splendor; in limou-
sines we took the air and 90 grew
soft and tender. But now hard
times are on the road, we feel
the pangs Of hunger. we'll hus-
tie up before that goad until we feel
much younger. Our flabby minds
will take on pep to grab the tickle
farden; our nabby feet will fall in
step, our flabby MUSCLES harden.
Hard times stand knocking at the
door and empty Ia the larder: we
may grow poorer, than before, but,
Joy! well soon be harder!
