The Acme, 81 miles below Kettle
Falls, now has its Burley drill at work
ON the 1900 foot tunnel. The tunnel
has been driven 100 feet and the miners
are making good Roadway. The prop
erty Ia owned almost entirely by San
Francisco people.
President Vaughn of the Mountain
Lion No. has received letter from
the mine which states that the cross
cutting on the big ledge has continued,
and that 1t has now been proved to be
81 feet wide, making it the widest in
the district by great odds. Another en-
c0uraging feature is the fact that the
ore has increased in value during the
last nine feet about $3.50.
J. C. Kerley, general manager Of the
Clackamas company, has shipped a
complete blacksmithing outfit to the
claim and lot of mining supplies.
Within few days two shifts will be
driving the tunnel to tap the ledge at
depth Of $50 feet. 1t will have to be
driven for about 800 feet. Fifty feet
of this has been driven. AS the ground
Is not hard it is thought there will be
no difficulty in making five or six feet
per day.
On the Phil Sheridan group the shaft
is down 20 feet. Work has progressed
rather slowly, as the shaft had to be
retimbered, and the storms Of last week
drove considerable surface water into
the workings. Mining has been re-
sumed. The ledge, in the bottom Of the
shaft, is five feet wide. There Is IS
inches of solid quartz that will assay
800 per ton. There Is one carload Of
ore In the ore house, and Manager
James Cronin believes that he will
have two carloads to ship by the end
of next week.

Pittsburg. June 24.-The vicinity of
Pittsburg was visited recently by one
of the tiercest storms known since the
United States weather bureau has
been established Within AZ minutes
10 inches of rain fell and during
that time the lightning and thunder
were almost continuous. The wind
was not high except in a contracted
path few hundred feet wide. which
swept like a tornado through Allie
gheny, a portion Of the east end of
Pittsburg and on to Wilmerding and
Turtle Creek.
James Howard, aged 16. was struck

quesne and instantly killed.

the rain came the sewer was a rag
ing torrent in a moment, and Marcus
was torn away from his fellow work

estimates place the loss at 5000 900.
The tornado at Allegheny struck the
grand stand of the ball park and car.
ried away bodily $50 feet of that
structure and moved from its founda-
ton the entire stand. Two of the
beams OF the grand stand plowed
through the roof OF house on Robin
son street, going from the garnet to
the first floor, carrying away a portion
Of bed on which James Williamson
was sleeping. 1t is a miracle that no
lives were lost in Allegheny.

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-09-03

WHETHER the PILOT went wrong or
not in 1896 is not 70; the Milwaukee
Journal to determine; having itself
bolted the regularly nominated demo-
cratic ticket that year, and also in 1900,
it certainly has no voice whatever in
democratic councils, nor ideas that are
worth a pycaune as to what is genuine
or spurious democracy. "The Milwau-
kee journal is owned, body and soul,
by the republican party" is a statement
made so often that everybody believes
it, and its course helps to strengthen
that belief. Therefore, all truly good
democatic papers have the right, under
the circumstances, to class the Journal
with the republican party, and it does
that paper no good to fly into passion
and say harsh things in return.
