assures. one about 200 feet to the west
of the present shaft. The one main
vein extends in direct line for the en-
tire length of the group, a distance Of
$500 feet. Another vein runs parallel
to this for a distance Of 1.500 feet and
then forms a junction with it at
point where three or four assures cross
them in d direction northwest and
southeast. It is the intention to locate
permanent works at this junction
point.
The second vein is south of the main
vein, the lime appearing on opposite
sides and in both cases forming the
hanging wall as deep as prOspeeted.
The main vein is from twelve to
twenty-eight feet wide on the surface,
except at the junction point, where it
is much wider and is continuous
throughout its entire length, with ore
groupings almost the entire distance.
The ore strata in the vein are strong
and generally of good grade, giving
clear Indication of large ore bodies il
close proximity. The gauge filing of
the vein is decOmposed material of
varying character, affording a consid-
cradle percentage Of iron
The ore is principally d red oxide of
copper with occasional punches Of sui
phide and pyTites, and the shipments
made have been from near the surface.
The ore from the bottom of the shaft
is much richer in copper, with high
percentage of iron. carrying from - to
SO per cent copper with very little
silica.
A drift has been run twenty-five
feet On the vein to the east at the 200
foot level with good showing Of ore.
The vein has been crOss-cut at the
255-f0ot level, both ways from the
shaft. showing strong. highly mineral

walls, and is fully sixteen feet wide at

southeast is the Acorn group Of six
claims. owned by Charles Il. Smith,
who is superintendent Of the Copper
Mountain company.
As indicated, the relative location is
twelve miles northwest of Milford. ten
miles northeast Of Frisco. FIVE miles
due west of Smiths ranch on the Ore
gOn Short Line. the natural shipping
point, with a down grade all the way
from the mine.
The O. X. is about four miles south,
and the distance in a sOutherly direc-
ton to the Copper Ranch group is
about five and One-half miles.
The mine is on the edge of the Bea-
yer Lake valley farming district, and
is, therefore. conveniently located to
procure most of its supplies from first
hands. Tt is located in a mining dis
trict of the same name.
It is the policy Of the company to i'm
mediately equip the property with
suitable machinery and prosecute de-
velopment as rapidly as possible.

done on the Wildcat claim. where a
shaft has been sunk 275 feet of which
100 feet are perpendicular and the next
100 inclning toward the north at a

PERSUASIVE ARRA1GNMENT OF PETTY
CUSTOM HOUSE NUISANCE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The ladies who trying to ameliorate
the lot Of the returning United States citizen s
he passes through our custom houses much appre-
ciate the kind way in which the press generally
has commented upon their efforts. but in a few
instances there has been a msconception OF their
idea. Statements have been made that the persons
most annoyed by the present condition Of things
are society women Of large wealth who do much
of their shopping abroad. On the contrary IT can
not be too clearly understood that this is matter
which concerns each and every citizen of the
United States who travels without the limits OF
his country for purposes OF business educa-
tion. health pleasure. The high tax upon per-
sonal wearing apparel falls heaviest not upon the
rich. who can afford to pay the duty. but upon
persons Of moderate means. Thousands Of people
go abroad every year with whom the trip is
event in their lives During their stay of perhaps
six months year. the replenishing of their
wardrobe becomes as necessary It would in their
own country. change of seasons. of climates or
other circumstances requires change IN clothing
often unforeseen-and vet before them stands
the nightmare Of the custom house at home, with
its heavy tax upon their simple purchases.
Has the government profted by this severe law
and its rigid enforcement We think not. In 1901
10000 was collected over and above the amount
collected in 1900 on personal baggage about
sixth Of per of the whole amount obtained
by customs during the year. The extra expense in
volved in the administration OF the law in what
has been clevery called this school for the edu-
cation Of free trade did away with all profit.
In fact It has been stated the expense far exceeds
the amount collected. But the rights Of each cti-
of the United States to the wearing apparel
that circumstances may require him 20 purchase
while travelling abroad seriously involved.
Merchants pay duties upon wholesale rates but
American citizens who in with only their own
necessary wearing apparel entering into
petition by trade. forced TO pay duty on retail
prices, and not only is this unjust but the very
garments upon which they expected to pay
duty on the price at which these garments were
purchased second hand. generally worn.
and often not of the value that the duty
amounts 10.
II is Just that the law should hold dutiable all
other articles those Of necessary wearing ap-
parel but clothing is something that no one can
do without, either abroad at home and II IS in
the interest Of and for the protection of the rights
OF United States citizens that this movement has
been inaugurated
