Rich Copper in Iron Dyke Dbhid.

M. Reeves, who is interested in sew
eral fine copper leads in the Iron
Dyke district, came up from there
the first of the week with samples of
ore from their group that would at
tract attention If placed in collec-
tion of ore from any section of coun-
try. The rock was taken from three
different claims and assays of $97,
SIG and 1922, respectively. per ton
are reported by the expert who had
the tests made. This ore is found
at a depth of ten feet, there being no
development work done on the claims
excepting the assessment each year,
which is necessary to hold the claims.
1t is asserted by mining men who
have visited the district that nowhere
have they ever seen surface ore show
such values as are found in this won
derful copper camp. The great Iron
Dyke claim is the most spoken of, but
there are other properties in the dis
trict, such as the McDougall group,
the Kirby group, the Lime Springs
group, and many others that are pro-
badly as good or better than the Iron
Dyke claims. AS a matter Of fact,
there seems to be no limit to the
amount of high grade ore that camp
can furnish as soon as transportation
facilities are provided and smelters
are ready to treat 1t. Few Of us real
ize the extent or value of those won
derfuI copper deposits lying at our
door, or dream OF the great mining
and smelling camp that will spring
up there when IL Is possible 10 mar

DENSE ICE PACK
IN THE HARB0R
Navigation Dangerous in the Vicinity
of New York.
DISPLACEMENT OF BU0YS
ARE SEVERAL NARROW ESCAPES
FROM GROUNDING.

Anew YORK, Feb. 5.-Ice floes COM
~ pleteiy filled New York hsrbor to
day, rendering the passage of yes
sells into and out of the port slow and
difficult. In the narrOws the ice pack
was so dense that even the powerful
transatlantic liners had trouble in
forcing q passage. One of the serious
results of the presence of vast foes in
the lower bay during the past four days
has been the breaking and carrying
away Of great numbers Of spar and can
buoys in the various ship channels
Captains of CoastWiSe steamers and
Sandy Hook pilots have reported a
number of narrow escapes from
grounding caused by the displacement
of buoys. Captain Shepard of the light
house board said that the displacement
OF buoys by ice during the week was
unprecedented in the history of the de-
partment and that the conditions of
navigation into and out of the port are
the most dangerous that have ever ex-
listed
All the steamers of the sound fleet
hours late. Their captains reported
that heavy ice was encountered
throughout the sound and that naviga-
ton was barely possible On several
occasions the fleet of New York bound
steamers were compelled to unite and
attack the ice in the wedge fOTma-
ton Owing to a change in the wind
the North and East rivers were COM
paratiVely clear of ice during the day
and the ferries were operated with lit

Badly CrippIed.

Louisville Ky. Feb. 5.-TelephOne and

the south was almost completely crippled
by heavy sleet today. Railroad service

sumo.
The storm. which covered with thick
icy coat kentucky, Tennessee. Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory. Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia. had
prevailed internationally for three days
and the wires broke under the accumu-
lated ice. Service from Louisville to
Memphis. Nashville. Chattanooga and
Birmingham was but little interrupted.
South of these cities to the gulf only
two three wires We're working imper-
fectly tonight. The fall of snow and sleet.
varying from one TO three inches, eX-
tended as far north as Louisville.
For several hours Atlanta and New Or
leans were cut off from the rest OF the
country. Wires were down from Mem
phis TO Natchez and New Orleans. and
the telegraph companies sent MESA ges
for those points to New York and down
the coast, but even this service was in
terrupted for time TWO hundred poles
went down in Mississippi
In Chattanooga the streets were filled
with broken wires. The lighting and
street car currents were turned off TO
avoid further danger to pedestrians and
nnemen.

Lewes, Del, FEB. 5.-Thirty men mar
rowly escaped drowning today in the icy
waters of the HarbOr of Refuge at the
delaware breakWater. and after being
rescued with the greatest difficulty by
the crews of two tugs they We're forced
TO make their way to shore afoOt over
the heavy ice flOeS with which the Della

men whose lives were imperiled were
Captain Jacobs and his crew of twenty
boat No. 3. which made its way down
from Philadelphia in an effort to make
a channel for vessels icebOUnd at the
brealIwater.
The ice boat colided with the sunken
barge Santiago the masts and buoys OF
which had been carried away by the ice
Jam. The ice boat had become wedged
IN the mass of ice between the HarbOr
of Refuge and the old breakwater. and
was unable to proceed. While drifting in
barge and a large hole was stove in her
hull. Captain Jacobs signals of distress
We're answered by the tugs TeaSer and
Boxer. The tugs experienced much dir
ftculty in reaching the rapidly sinking ice
boat. The ice jam prevented the tugs
boat. after being taken off. stiff from
exposure and nearly exhausted, managed
to complete a perilOus journey dfOtt across
the ice fields to shore.
Navigation is almost at a staudstill on
the Delaware because of the ice which
is jsmming the stream from Trenton. y.

ten miles out to sea. There is a large
fleet of vessels OF all kinds at the break
water unable to make any Roadway
in the ice at the Horseshoe, a bend in

probably be several days before the city
ice boats can clear a passage Tor them.
