LOYALTY AND BUNKUM

Loyalty is like charity and begins at home.
Loyalty is the finest of the human virtues, as it
is one of the rarest. But what is heralded from
the housetops as loyalty is too often merely
partsanship.
"To thine own self be true,
And it shall follow, as the night the day.
Thou canst not then be false to any man. !"
Shakespeare had it doped out, and, if one
makes it plain to begin with that he intends to
be loyal to himself first of ALL the thing works out
beautifully. But if one pledges fealty to party
and then in pinch pleads loyalty to himself as an
excuse for breaking his pledges, it looks fishy

BELMONT STRIKES HIGH
GRADE GOLD ORE ON $50


WICKENBURG, Ariz., May 19.
Special. The entire face of the
east drift on the 450-ft. level of
the Tonopah Belmont mine at
Belmont is in solid gaIena ore
with assays running from 5 or.
to IS oz. per ton in gold, accord
ing to unofficial reports received
here.
WICKENBURG, Ariz.-The Bel
mont camp % miles southwest of
Wickenburg is one of the busiest
places in Arizona, with trucks haul
ing machinery and supplies from here
and Hassayampa, south of the mnie,
and construction of buildings and a
50-ton pilot mill under way. Seventy
five men are employed on the surface
and in the mine and boarding and
bunk houses, an Office building, re-
frigerating plant and telephone line
from Wickenburg are under construc-
ton. Another force Of men is en-
gagged in laying cement foundations
for mine and mill machinery, much
of which is on the ground.
The writer devotes much space to
the workings of the Tonopah-Belmont
company and concludes
MANY GOOD WICKENBURG PROP
ERTIES
The Divide Extension Mining
Co., which own the Giant group of
claims, 1900 feet east of the Bel
mont, showing good values on the
surface in the same type of brec-
cated vein lying between ande-
site and rhyolite, has leased part
of its ground to the Tonopah Div
idend Mining Co., which is sink
ina a shaft for the joint use Of
the two companies. The Dividend
will drift west 200 feet into it's
own rround while developing the
leased block, and the Divide Ex-
tension will drift east. The Giant
nroun was selected by James r.
Davis, former Nevada operator,
rs one Of the best in the district.

One of the most complete accounts
of the mining activities occurs in the
Sunday issue of the Arizona Republi-
can for May 81:
Mining operations a0W baiRg nFas-
ecuted by the Tonopah-Belmont De
velopment Company at the old Wash
ington mine 10 t4e northeastern Sec.
ton of Marieopa county hold bright
prospects of reviving the days when
'Syellow metar' and other valuable
minerals poured from the Vulture
mine to the enrichment of it's owners,
Maricopa county, and general busi-
ness conditions of Arizona.
Permanent Camp
The development company has
made a heavy outlay of cash for ma
chinery and other equipment and
every step is being taken with the
idea of operating the greatest mine
undertaking that has ever marked
MaricOpa county's history.
After describing the work as laid
out and conducted by general super
intendent, L. R. Robins, the Republi-
can makes this interesting note:
Crosscuts Opened
After sinking the winze to a ver-
tical depth of 300 feet on the vein,
it was found that the vein was leav-
ing the shaft slightly to the south
as the greater depth was opened.
Two drifts were run laterally in the
vein, one 80 feet westerly and the
ether 120 feet easterly. AS this work
progressed it was found that the ore
was assaying approximately $35.
The drifts carried only foot walls,
with no hanging wall in sight. Drill
holes were made to the hanging wall
side to a depth of six feet, and still
no hanging wall was in sight.
Persons familiar with mining oper-
ations point out that this discovery
is one of the most remarkable that
has marked mining history in Arizona
and the entire Rocky Mountain re-
