comes tremendous obstacles and beats
down all opposition in the accomplish
ment of a worthy object. Deprived Of
his eyesight on the very threshold of
active life. he yet kept his LIES object
clearly in mind, and never wavered
from the path he laid out for himself
as a boy.
Born in Milan, o., in 1865, Mr.. Saun-
ders is now in his 43rd year, the prIme
OF life. with a fine business built up
about him. and d career of usefulness
and influence ahead of him.
Mr.. Saunders was born on a farm,
and in his youth went through the ex-
perfence common TO farmers boys,
doing all kinds of farm work undcr the
direction of his father in the spring,
summer and fall, and attending the
district school in the winter. After
graduating from the district school the
ambition for a higher education took
hold of him: ne had a clearly defined
Idea OF what he wished to mako of
himself, and with the aid of his par
ents he attended for three years the
famous university of Columbus, o. lie
had not yet completed his university
course when an accident deprived him
of the use of his eyesight ana he was
forced to suspend his studies. A great
misfortune is sometimes a blessing N
disguise, because il brings out the true
metal that is in the man. 1t proved
10 be the case in this instance. Al
though his eyeSight was gone, Mr..
Saunders still retained his ambition
his determination to make his mark in
life, to rise superior to circumstances.
In 1887 he removed to western Kan
sas, and since then he has mad an eX-
perience so varied that il in itself con-
stitutes a liberal education. For three
l. 10 1V TFTnf f1a
lime he recovered his health, and, bet
ter still, his eyesight. In 1890 he re-
moved to Pueblo, Colo, where he had
the opportunity he had so long desired
Of fitting himself by actual experience
for his life work He secured a posi-
ton with the Pueblo Smelling compa-
ny, a position he held for five years,
during which time he made rapid
strides IN the direction of his chosen
profession, that of a mining engineer.
He was a close student always and
kept his main object always in plain
view. From Pueblo Mr.. Saunders went
TO Florence, Colo, where he went into
business for himself during the rush
ing Cripple Creek days. From Florence
he went to Denver after two years. and
I'm Denver he established his headcuar-
tiers and devoted all his time to his
profession, establishing valuable con-
nections in various parts of the west
ern states For two years of this time
he was mill manager and designer for
the Sterns-Rogers Manufacturing coma
pany.
Following this, in succession Mr.
Saunders became engineer for the
Mine & Smelling company OF Denver
during which time he built mills in al
most all the states Of the west. Leav-
ing Denver, he became chief engineer
for The Old Dominion Copper company

MAY DAY BONANZA
OF THE TINTIC CAMP

Among the old producers of the Tin
tic district is the May Day Mining &
Milling company. Originally the COM
pany owned but three claims. the May
Day, May Day Extension and Little
Ben. This year they acquired by pur-
chase the Uncle Sam and Cora claims,
giving the company as valuable a min
ing territory as can be found on Godiva
hill. The ore lies in the bedding Of the
limestone, and the development to date
shows ore chutes extending from the
south end of the May Day claim to
the north end of the Uncle Sam claim.
Although the May Day has produced
for years, its greatest depth is but 500
feet below the surface, and practically
all work has been confined to the ore
chute mentioned above. This is well
developed, and one can traverse it from
the south end through continuous
slopes the entire length of the May
Day and half the length of the Uncle
Sam without losing sight of pay ore.
During the coming year the manage
ment expects TO open up the north end
of the Uncle Sam claim, and that will
add 800 feet in length to ones trip
through a continuous stOpe. The con-
tinUity of the ore channel is remark
able 1t is not a succession of isolated
chambers filled with ore, as is so fire.
quently the case in a limestone forma-
ton, but it is a continuous ore body
from one end of the property to the
other. It's grade is not so uniform. In
former years the company moved only
ore that would yield a profit by ship
ping.
Included in the 1907 acquisition was
the Uncle Sam mill. This, in conjunc-
ton with the arrangements economic
plan Of handling May Day ore through
the Uncle Sam tunnel, gives easy ac-
cess to the immense tonnage of low
grade ore in the mines once abandoned,
but now made to yield handsome pro-
fits. The mill now owned by the COM
pany can continue grinding on the ore
in sight for the next few years. and
during this time the policy will be to
keep prospecting and developing fur
Their, so that new reserves will be in
waiting when the present ore is ex-
hausted.
Though the major portion of ore in
sight is Of a milling Erade, there are
some portions yielding high-grade ore.
In the Jewel Box stope there has re-
Gently been encountered a body of high
grade silver and gold ore. How extern
sive this body Of high-grade is future
development will show. Thus we see
the grade of ore varies from a milling
grade TO high-grade shipping product,
The equipment is first-clasS, and the
efficiency adequate to meet the de-
mands the mine will make for some
time. Under these conditions and hsv-
ing the ore in sight to back up the
proposition, the May Day lis booked
with the dividend-payers for a few
years at least.
The personnel of the directorate is as
follows: John Dern, president and
general manager; B. F. Caffey, vice
president; w. 5. Mccormick, treasurer;
A. Reeves, secretary.
c. G. Griggs, superintendent of The
mines, has been there for the past four
years, and has d sharp eye for details.

drain on the stockholders. and there
were times when the future did not
look promising. Throughout all this
time President Wolf stood at the helm,
put his money into the enterprise
freely and would not listen to any such
word as fail. He has his reward in the
knowledge that the Scranton is now
self-sustaining, with the prospect that
it viii soon be distributing nice divi-
dends to it's stockholders. This state
ment is made, of course, on the suppo-
sition that the prices of the metals are
soon to take an upward turn, and that
the financial scare is practically at an
! end. III any event, the holders OF the
Scranton are now convinced that they
have a valuable property, one that will
yield them in time abundant returns
for the money and energy invested.

STATELINE COUNTRY
Is LOOKING UP


The country around Gold Springs
Iron county, is fast coming into notice
for the large and productive veins
| found throughout the district and for
! several miles north and south. The
operations of the Jennie Gold Mining
company and Short & Elliott have
been mentioned elsewhere in this issue.
and while these operations have SUD-
| ported the country for the past two
years and have attracted the attention
of the public on account of the success
following all their work, there are nu-
merous other valuable propositions,
and the coming year will see no little
fmOunt Of activity in several direc-
lions.
Stateline will no doubt see consider
able life. Late in the season there was
some talk about the starting up of the
Johnnie mine, which has been idle for
some time, but nothing was done
There is still probability of it resum-
ing operations, and if it does, the line
of work planned should surely make ii
more productive than during the last
run. The Ophir is being operated un-
der a lease, and high-grade silver ore
is being shipped. The leasers seem to
believe that the property is a big one
and hope to put it in shape for active

shipped several lots of high-grade dur
ing the year, but has shut down for the
winter. The Willowvale made a rich
strike recently. and active development
is promised for the coming year under
new company to be organized on the
group. The Reuben, Standard, Crown
Point, Jumbo and Muldoon properties
have all been worked this season with
satisfactory results.
Much Work at Deer Lodge.
Over the hill from Stateline, at Deer
Lodge, Beck and Brown have done
considerable work on their group lying
west of the camp. George Moody and
Milton Damron have prosecuted work
FOR some time on the Irus, and the
Deer Lodge Consolidated company has
been working steadily pushing its long
tunnel III TO catch the mammoth ledge.
When this is done, this property will
be IN shape for a mill and viii reward
It's stockholders for their persistency
and patience.
Fay has been practically dead and,
outside of some work done on the Raf-
fety property, can report no progress.
The Buck Mountain company and the
Snowflake Annex company at Gold
Springs are both hard at work on de-
velopment, with considerable promise
or nrst-class results. Both are favor
ably located and should be heard from
favorably in the near future.
The Wild Irish is one of the big nron-
critics of the camp, and with intelligent
development will make winner. ITS
ore deposits are large and carry the
necessary values to assure success. The
property is well situated and has an
abundance of water.
The Drake, McMullen. Croesus, Well
ingtOn and the Utah-Stateline groups
are all among the promising properties,
and The latter, esp ecially, has been
worked successfully during the past
year.
