PLANS OF MAYFLowER
Merged Properties to Be Developed
Immediately with Three Shafts

The Mayfiower BuIlfrog Consoli-
dated Mining Company, which is a
merger of the Mayfiower and Star
light, is developing its property with
three shafts. The original Mayfiower
shaft is down $50 feet, following the
hanging wall. The lateral work on
the 1OO-feet' level consists of seventy
feet of drifting to the north, fifty feet
of drifting to the south, and forty feet
of cross-cutting east to the hanging
wall
The shaft and laterals are in values
all the way, with an average on the
1G0-foot level from IS to $12. The de-
velopment on the 2O0-foot level con-
sists of drift north $50 feet, drift
south $50 feet and cross-cut east
seventy feet. Both drifts are in ore
all the way. with full faces OF ore.
while the cross-cut shows values all
the way except in the last three feet.

Several short cross-cuts. wines and
raises have also been made. Super
intendent r. NJ. Smith says that all
of the ore exposed on the 200-foot
level will average from s12 to SIS.
Mayfiower laterals are sectionized. and
the returns noted are the result OF
careful sampling.

in Pathos.
Pacific Grove, CAL, Aug. Ga
curious instance of misdirected friend
ship, which involved a new offense
against military law, occurred at the
Preside of Monterey in connection
with the Pacific small arms competi-
ton which was finished Saturday. One
of the best soldiers among the en-
listed men and fifth I'm order of
craftsmanship at the opening of the
shoot was Sergeant H. Spree of Troop
E, Fourteenth cavalry. He had a
friend ambitious to obtain place on
the rifle team going to the Fort Sheri-
dan national competition.
His friend was a less sure shot. The
rifle range at the Presidi0 is cut
through pine forest and Spree, hid
ing behind a convenient cover. fired
from there at a target, at which his
friend was supposed to be aiming,
when the signal was given. the friend
firing wide SO as not to show any
surplus Of buffet marks. On one oc:
casion Spree withheld his fire too long
and his shot rang out after tine rest of
the squad had ceased. This, oil course,
aroused the suspicion OF the authori-
ties and on Investigation Spree was
discovered, taken to the gunrihouse
and his name struck fror II the rolls of
the competition. He now awaits trial
for his novel offense.

GOOD REVENUE FROM FORESTS
Receipts for Fiscal Year Double Those
Of Preceding Year.

Receipts for Fiscal Year Double Those
Of Preceding Year.
The total receipts from business in
the national forests for the fiscal year
ending June 80 we're $685. 1793,
more than double the receipts for the
preceding year, and the sum which
goes to the states and territories by
law, to swell the county school and
road funds where national forests are
located-10 per cent of the totals
also more than doubled, reaching the
considerable sum Of $153,991.79. Rem
tails of grazing and other privileges
are the chief sources of income.
There is food for thought in the
fact that, except for Arizona, Califor-
mia and Utah, the states which de-
rive the greatest benefit from the re-
turns of forest management are Col
orado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wash
ington and Wyoming, the six states in
which congress last winter forbade
the addition of new national forests
except by it's own act. AS compared
with the figures of last year, Mon
tana's share, $2O,655.42, is this year
over three times larger; Idaho's, &c.,
1922, almost three times; Oregon's,
$13,980.S9, almost twice; Wyoming's,
$6,690,23, almost two and one-half
times.

CHINA A WORRY, NOT JAPAN
When Dowager Empress Dies, Fear Is
Expressed, Partition Of Empire
May Be Attempted.

Washington, Aug. Tt is China
and not even remotely Japan that has
aroused the concern Of Washington
authorities in connection with choos-
ing the Pacific as the next practice
ground for the big battleship squad
ron, according to deductions of some
students of affairs in the far east.
China as an entity is in a condition as
precarious as the health of the dow
ager empress, and when the failing
health of the latter leads to its inevi-
table end, the empire will face crisis
that will make it wise for the United
States to have a presentable naval
force within easy sailing.
Little regarding the situation sug-
gested by the above statements has
been said in official and diplomatic cir
cles, but commercial interests profess
to have been keen observers Of what
is going Cd. From sources connected
with the latter comes the report that
some time ago the administration here
was quietly apprised that the health
of the dowager empress was failing
fast, and that when she dies China
will become the prey of plotters seek
ing to overthrow the Manchu dynasty.
At the same time the powers are
deemed likely to take advantage of the
situation by going in for a partition
of the empire, with the possible clos
ing Of the open door that means so
much to America, and toward secur-
ing which American statesmen have
accomplished so much. 1t has been
pointed out that when trouble comes
the nation that has the strongest navy
in Pacific waters will be likely to,have
most influence with China. The
knowledge that crisis might. be
reached at any time is believed to
have had great deal to do in de-
termining the plans for sending. the
battleship squadron to the Pacific as
soon as possible.

MINES AND MINING

1.-THE installation of two additional,
furnaces costing $4,000 will be COM
pleted at the Panhandle smelter with
in a few days. The capacity OF the
plant will then be doubled. The pres
ent capacity is $50 tons daily" SAID
F. R. Mcmillan of Ponderay, Idaho, as
sistant manager of the smelter
STRIKES made in the Ajax at Burke,
Idaho, recently, insure the existence
of a large ore body" said Harry w.
Woodward of Lynn, Mass, recently.
Mr.. Woodward recently purchased
100000 shares of Ajax, securing con-
trolling interest in the mine. He Is
working in conjunction with L. w.
Hutton of the Hercules.
Negotiations have been completed
with the Rex Mining company and IN
dividual stockholders of the mine
whereby B. M. Francis of Spokane
and several New York and Montana
associates bought >775,O00 shares, the
controlling interest in the property,
paying $225, 900 for their holdings. The
entire block of 475,000 shares OF stock
in the mine treasury, along with 3O0,-
900 shares of outstanding stock were
taken over by the Francis interests.
The old Rex, near Wallace, Idaho, Will
be opened in less than week.
Work has been resumed on the Big

Eighteen men were killed and %
injured, several seriously in mining
disaster in Homburg, South Germany,
recently.
The shortage of coal has kept down
the tonnage at the mines and shelters
in the Rossland, B. c., district. The
trouble is that the collieries and coke
manufacturers have not kept pace
with the mines and smelters.
At recent meeting Of the directors
of the Belcher mine the resignation Of
]. L. Harper as superintendent of the
Belcher mountain and of the Bortle
Copper-Gold Mining company, was &C
cepted.
That the conditions in the Boundary
country regarding ore traffic from
mines to smelters, as we'll as those re-
garding the bringing in Of necessary
coke for the use Of the three district
reduction works are becoming serious
and must shortly be brought to head
there is little reason to doubt.
Arrangements for the miners picnic
which is to orrur at Cameron's grove,
near Kellogg, Idaho, on the 18th Of

pleted.
The third week Of the strike of the
