NEW LIFE LINE FAILS TO
REACH TOP OF BUILDING
John Connett Makes Several Tests
With Apparatus on Merchants
Exchange Structure,

The new life line, which is invented
to be shot to the tops of buildings in
case of fire, was given trial on the
high Merchants Exchange building
yesterday morning. The apparatus
did not work as we'll as its inventor,
John Connett, expected. The line
reached no farther than the twelfth
story in its best test, but a strong wind
was blowing at the time and inter-
fered with the experiment.
The test attracted a crowd. Among
those present were Chief Engineer
Sullivan of the Fire Department and
several of the battalion chiefs and
other officials. Connett tried several
times to shoot the line over the ton
of the building, but the cannon was
not possessed of sufficient force to turn
the trick. The inventor is not yet
satisfied with his experiment and says
he will give the machine another trial
soon and feels confident that his next
efforts will meet with success.

ground is now in a very fine
showing Of ore although the
workings are still 100 feet short
of the point where the manage
ment expected to encounter the
Sullivan ore chute at depth.
While this work has not yet pro-
ceeded far enough to disclose the
true value and extent of the Sui
livan chute on the Kellogg tunnel
level, still enough is now dis
closed to make it seem entirely
probable that another great ore
body, equal in every respect to
the Bunker Hill chute will be de-
veloped in the immediate future.
The sale of the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine to S. G. Reed, Of
Portland, in 1886 was really the
beginning of the mining boom
on the South Fork and marked
an important epoch in the history
Of what has proved to be the
greatest lead producing district
in the world. The sale to Mr..
Reed was negotiated by James
F. Wardner, whose name is per-
petuated in the town to which
the mine gave birth. The con-
sideration was $3.50, 900, not a
very large sum compared with
prices paid in later years for
Coeur d'Alene mines, but enough
to attract wide attention to the
resources of a new district, give
the original owners a comfortable
fortune and furnish an ambitious
city in a neighboring state a
foundation upon which to build.
The chief benefciaries Of the
sale were N. S. Kellogg, for
whom the town Of Kellogg is
named, Phil O'Rourke, Con Sui
livan, Alex Monk, Jacob Goetz
Dutch Jake) Harry Baer and
others. Press.

Bunker Hills Big Ore Body.

Wardner, ID, Oct. 20. -Anoth-
er ore body has been discovered
in the marvellous Bunker Hill &
Sullivan mine. This ore was dis
closed on the Sullivan side of the
mine, the other recent strikes
having been made on the Bunker
Hill side. During the early part
Of this month the ore was found
and it has not yet been explored
to any great extent, but the work
done shows it to be of great value.
The strike was made in the level
below the Reed tunnel, and in the
course of time it will be opened
up at a great depth by the Kel-
logg tunnel, through which the
mine is being worked at present
with such phenomenal results,
the dividend payable November
4 amounting to $3.50, COO. Some
improvements are being made al

ditional machinery being installed
to treat the middling product.

THE BUSTER MINE SOLD
A Good Property.

George B. Shellhorn, of the
Seattle Placer Mining company
situated on Salmon river below
Dixie, spent Thursday night in
Elk. Mr.. Shellhorn is on his way
to Seattle for a conference with
his company, looking to the in
stallation of a derrick and three
giants on their property, which
they have pretty we'll opened as
it stands with hose. They have
however encountered boulders in
greater quantities than antici-
pated which necessitates the use
of a derrick to secure the best
results.
The property comprises four
claims paralelling the river, 1t
is equipped with an abundance
of water for the most extended
operation.
Their expert estimates a body
of pay gravel Of 1886, 900 cubic
yards, with values exceeding
$500 per yard. This includes
the assay values Of the black
sands. The dirt can be moved it
is said for not to exceed 12c per
yard.
Should these figures prove ap-
proximately correct, or even de-
Quoting rs per cent for a possible
error in the experts estimate, it
would still appear to be a pretty
sizeable proposition.

BROKE THE RECORD.
Bunker Hill Pays $2,955,OOO in
Ten Months.

The Bunker Hill and Sullivan
company smashed all the divi-
dend paying records of the Occur
-d'Alenes this week when it de-
clared a monthly dividend, pay
able November A, of $180,O0O
This brings the total amount of
dividends paid by this company
since the first of the year to the
magnificent sum of $2,955, 900,
and the total profits of the COM
pany to date to no less a figure
than S., ,226, 900.
The great increase in the
amount of dividends paid by the
company this year is due to two
causes. One of these was the
sale of the interests, long held by
the company in the Tacoma
smelter, for 81, 500, 900, which
sum was at once disbursed to the
stockholders in the shape of an
extra dividend. The other is the
great and almost marvellous i'm
provement in the extent and
value of the ore bodies opened
up at great depth by the Kellogg
tunnel.
The development of these ore
bodies has made the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan the greatest mine
in the world and The Press takes
great pride in the fact that it was
the first to recognize and publish
this fact, which has since been
evidenced so plainly in the pay
ment of dividends and is now
acknowledged on all hands.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan
always was a great mine. 1t was
no puny prospect. It's surface
showing was wonder. It's upper
levels produced good milling ore
in seemingly linitless quantities.
But it remained for the lower
levels to disclose ore bodies ol
still greater extent and Of vastly
richer material.
Until these new ore bodies
were opened up the shipments
from the mine to the smeltel
were composed almost entirely o.
concentrates. Now the snleltel
is receiving crude ore from thu
mine not in carload lots, but il
train loads.
To cap the climax Of the recenr
discoveries in the mine, whicI
were all on the Bunker Hill side

A man might travel throughout
Idaho from the extreme northern
end of the panhandle to the
southermost lip of the pan itself
and would look in vain for a re-
duction plant of the kind, which
would excel or for that matter
equal the G. R. M. & M. Co.
cyanide plant. The elaborateness
as to detail and the assembling
of those details into a cohesive
and almost lifelike whole when
in action, shows the superinten-
dent, ]. H. McCormic, to be a
master of his craft.
To the layman passing through
the big plant without the en-
tightening presence of a COM
petent guide the internal arrange
ments represent little more than
a confused tumble of belts,
pulleys, pipes, great steel tanks,
three or four whirligigs, centri-
fugal, absurdly misnamed pumps,
the whole mass being dominated
by the thunderous roar Of stamps
and rock crusher, but soon under
the tuition of your guide order
comes rapidly out of chaos, each
piece Of mechanism takes on a
new character and meaning and
assumes its place in the ranks
with the precision of a good
soldier, so it will go, with the aid
of your mentor, piece after piece
will fall in, detail after detail
will be brought together till the
whole system, like a panorama
passes across your mental vision
in all it's beautiful simplicity and
effectiveness.
