IN PICK
GROWS bigger
WEEK TO WEEK
Thirty Additional Feet of Ore
Added to Rich Shoot on the
intermediate Level.

Driving north on the intermediate
level directly in the bonanza ore
body, the Silver Pick has added more
than 30 feet to the exposed length
of the now famous shoot Samples
of the full face of this drift have
given returns of $4OO to $500 and the
lowest face sample gave $22. That
the Pick will produce ore of gross
value of at least $1,OOO,OOO from
the Immediately vicinity of the big
stope in the Red Top lease now ap-
pears highly probable, mad, because
of the simple method of treatment
used In extracting the gold and low
freight rates for the short haul to
Tonopah, more than half the gross
value OF the recent shipments has
been going into the Silver Pick
treasury. The payment of royalty,
freight and treatment charges, min
ing and overhead still leaves the les
see more than half the gross value
of the ore.
The lease today appears bigger
than ever before. In addition to the
length added to the shoot, 10 to IL
feet has been added to the width OF
the stope at the top. Two to i've
and six.foot widths in this l2-foot
width give assays of 5000 to $lOOO
and one 1S-inch width gives $500,
These are remarkable figures, but
in a bonanza orebody of this district
such as the Silver Pick has they
represent merely recurrence OF the
conditions OF the early days In the
mines of the Consolidated and Flor
ence.
Driving west on the third level
north of the stope, is being contin-
ned and 1t is expected that the next
important find will be made in this
work. The opening of ore on the
third level would more than double
the value Of the lease. AS more ana
more ore continues to be found IN
the hnaging.wall and north OF the
stope the possibilities become eVi'
dent, but at the same time it be-
comes equally evident that one to
two years Of development prospect
ing and stopping is before the Silver
Pick and that some such time Will
be necessary In determining just

TELLING THE TRUTH.

1t is a ptiful thing that the ma
jority in Congress has absolutely lost
its backbone when it comes to dealing
with the soldiers bonus. 1t knows that
this country is in no condition 10 raw
out billions for this purpose, 1t knows
there is no money available unless a
tremendous tax is placed upon the pep
pie already overburdened, ard yet il
is afraid to do its duty.
There are some men of outStan ling
courage, however. who do not hesitate
to express their convictions, and one OF
them is Senator Carter Glass, Of Eir-
glnia. One OF mis- constituents wrote
him letter threatening his political
future unless he supported the bonus
proposition. The Senator made prompt
but polite reply, IN which he ,ecla. ed
that the paSSag. of the bonu, bill
would be ruinous to the country and he
Will not vote for II, whatever may re-
tide him politically.
It's a great pity that there are not
more men in Congress with the cour.
age and wisdom Of Senator Glass.
President John Crier Hibbsn of
Princeton University in lett.r to
the Senators from New Jersey express
es opposition to the bonus and makes
this sensible comment:
IL believe speak on behalf cf ever
five thousand Of our Princeton men
who voluntarily entered the service.
The did so CXp.ct;HG 70 reward ana
their service to their country can ncv-
er be adequately estimated in money.
AT this critical period, financially. in
the history OF our country and of the
world 1t seems tn me a crime 10 furth-
er remove the realization of financial
stability and to remove it indefinitely
by the increase IF our obligations 10
the amount OF several billions of dol
lars.
Whatever good may come individ
ually to the soldier who receives the
bonus will be more than neutralized BY
the enfeebled financial condition of the
country by increased taxation, either
direct or indirect, and in the long run
be will be the very sad loser"
