|ARCT|C TUNNEL WELL STARTED
Adjoining Group to Vienna-Interna-
tional Under Development

Work on the new tunnel of the
Arctic company, which owns a
group Of three claims and three
fractions adjoining the Vienna
International mine on Placer creek
on the east, is now well under way
and at least one shift will be kept
at work all winter. The tunnel
will be run as a crosscut at the
start and will be about 200 feet
long when it reaches the ledge,
which is the same as that in which
the international is now
opening up a fine shoot Of galena
ore in its lowest level and which
will be tapped at depth of about
100 feet. From this point drifts
will be run both ways on the vein,
east towards the Smuggler and GER
tainly west towards the Vienna
where about 400 feet Of drifting will
bring the drift $50 feet under q
handsome cropping sof' iron and
galena. On the surface the vein
shows width Of about SO feet.
Geo. H. Heller is manager.

MAYFloWER DRIFTING ON ORE
Six Inches Of Clean Calena in Sight On
The SOO.Foot Level

The Mayhower company has re-
sumed work and is drifting on six
inches Of clean galena which was
cut at a depth Of 500 feet by its
long crosscut tunnel. The May
flower group consists Of 13 patented
claims and fraction adjoining the
Alice mine on the west. It is
traversed by the same vein which is
here 800 feet wide.
Some l8 months ago James F.
Mccarthy, manager of the Hecla
mine, took a contract to drive a
2,00O-foot tunnel on the property
in return for 100000 shares Of
stock. He associated with him in
the enterprise Isaac Anderson and
VIM. A. Nichols Of Spokane, who
duly completed the contract. The
work now in hand is being fin
anced by the sale Of treasury shares.
Among the larger shareholders
in the company now are: James
F. Mccarthy, Isaac Anderson, VIM.
A. Nichols, Walter Mckay and
Richard Wilson formerly owners Of
the Mammoth mine, J. H. Foss,
A. P. McCrae, Angus McCrea, L.
Mcpherson and Hans J. Rice Of
Mullan. The company is capital
lied at 81 $50, 900.

STRIKE IN THE. AGNES
Upper Tunnel Shows Six Feet ol
Concentrating Calena

The Agnes company has made a
strike in its upper tunnel at a point
in about $50 feet and Is feet from
the beginning Of the upper crop
ping Of the ledge. Here it shows
about six feet of concentrating
galena ore. Where the ledge was
crosscut some distance back it was
found to be 80 feet wide. An effort
to sink on the ore shoot proved
futile on account Of the quantity Of
water that had to be handled with
out proper equipment, SO work is
being confined at present to con-
tinuing the drift on the vein which
has depth of only 60 feet from
the surface as yet.
The Agnes group is located on
Big Sunday creek about three miles
from the Monitor mine and the
same distance from Saltese, Mont.
It is partially developed by two
drift tunnels both OF which have
now disclosed bodies of concentrat-
ing galena ore. VIM. Burke is
manager Of the company and its
stock is largely held by Missoula
railroad men.

LOOKING FINER THAN EVER
Full Face Of East Drift on Bullion ia
Solid Ore

James H. Taylor, who is extend
ing the drifts on the lower level Of
the Bullion mine 100 feet by con-
tract, yesterday received word from
the mine that the east drift, in
which alone work has been done, is
looking finer than ever and now
shows a full face Of high grade con-
centrating chalcopyrite ore. The
showing is 30 handsome and the
ore shoot is proving to extend in
this direction 50, much further than
expected, that it is probable that no
work will be done in the west drift
at present. The east drift is now
right under the creek and will begin
to gain depth again from now on.

work necessary to the construction

reaches the vein and will tap it at
depth Of no feet below the Wine

completed and the work Of driving
the tunnel by hand has begun.
Meanwhile the boarding house has
been completed and equipped and
the bunkhouse is under roof. The

A large force is at work on the new
fume and pipe line and it is ex-
pected TO have the compressor in
running order by the first Of next
month.

ing Calena Ore

The Granite and Allie company,
which owns an old and famous
group Of claims four miles east of
Murray, is sinking shaft on the
vein where it is exposed in the bed
Of Granite creek. The shaft is now
down 30 feet and is in fine concen-
trating galena ore all the way.
One popularity about the Granite
and Allie is that its ore averages
about $40 a ton in gold besides it's
silver and lead values. The share
holders are nearly all Murray
people.

The Man Between.

In his speech at the opening of
the jamestown exposition, President
Roosevelt said: "This great repub-
lie of ours shall never become the
government of plutocrscy and it
shall never become the government
of mob"
The extremes have been fighting
for the center of the stage long
time; this is the day of the man be-
tween. President Roosevelt is him
self the representative, the champion
of the average man in American life,
of the even tempered, calm minded,
peace loving American citizen who
goes steadily on about his business,
doing the bsst he can for himself
and his family. respecting the laws,
believing in the stability of the
American principle Of government,
and willing to give everybody else in
the world an equal chance with him
self in all things.
The man between seeks no ad
vantage, feels that he will get all
that is coming to him and that he
can take care of himself in the mat
ter of the other fellow getting the
best of it. Yon never hear him rail-
ing against capital nor weeping his
ideas out about labor, as the two
are spelled in political campaigns
with capital letters. He has an idea
that Capital is the fellow who has
worked little harder and been a bit
ksener than himself, and that the
Labor that howls longest at election
times is the kind that is least willing
to do days work for a days pay.

Sugar Consum ptIon In This
Country.

The interesting statistics on the
consumption and production of
sugar in the United States recently
published by the department of com
merce and labor show that the use
of that commodity is increasing with
extraordinary rapidity.
At present the American people
and the Inhabitants Of their colonial
possessions consume nearly three
million tons of sugar annually. OF
this amount about one-fifth is pro-
duced in our island possessions and
about one-fifth in the United States.
Thus we are compelled to import
about 100000 tons.
1t is evident that there is no
danger of overlooking the sugar
market with the domestic prodnct
except IN 80 far as foreign sugar can
be sold at a lower price. We could
produce five times as much as we do
and find sale for it, if it could be
sold at a lower price than foreign
sugar or that brought from our
insulsr possessions.
Great improvements have been
made in growing sugar beets and
extracting the sugar. BY this means
there has been q notable reduction
in the cost of production. But 1t
has not yet been brought down to
the level of sugar production in the
cane growing regions of the tropics.
It is established, however, that in
the irrigated districts Of this and
other Western states beet sugar can
be produced at so low a cost-per.
