LUCKY CALUMET NINE
Tunnel Nearing Rich National Vein At
400 Feet Depth

A property which has now reached
a most interesting stage in its de.
velopment, though little has beer
said Of it Of late by the newspapers,
is the Lucky Calumet on Snow
Storm hill, situated midway. between
the great mine after which the hill
is named on the last .xnd the rich
National mine OF tie west and COW
.ering 4,5O0 feeta4f length of both
lodges. It's main crosscut tunnel is
now in 800 feet and certainly within
100 feet Of the National vein. To
reach the Snow Storm ledge will
require about 500 feet more of work.
The National vein will be cut at a
depth Of over 400 feet and the Snow
Storm vein over 900 feet below the
surface.
Both these lodges crop strongly
on the surface Of the Lucky Calumet
though little work has been done
on them on account of the depth of
the wash that covers most Of the
group. The National mipe, which
has developed the richest ore body
yet found in Snow Storm hill, has
however opened its ledge within a
few feet Of the Lucky Calumet's 8
east end line, while the workings
on the Snowshoe, which covers only
1900 feet Of ground between the
Snow Storm and Lucky Calumet,
are just about 400 feet east Of its
east end line.
The group is one Of the earliest
located on the hill and has always
been the favorite property OF
Engineer John H. Nordquist, its
manager, to whose faith, energy
and enterprise is primarily due the
development Of the great Snow
Storm mine.

in the Occur d'Alenes, F. w. Brad

EAST HEcLA COMPANY
VIII Join Copper King in Running long
Crosscut Tunnel

AS readers of the Miner will re-
member, in our last issue we stated
tnat the Copper King management
had decided to drive a 2,5OO-foot
crosscut tunnel from Deadman gulch
to develop its ledge l 900 feet below
the present lowest workings and
that in order to tighten the burden
Of this work its management was
negotiating With the East Hecla
company and other owners Of ad-
jacent property to share the ex-
pcnse. Since then an agreement has
been arrived at between the board
Of directors of the Copper King and
East Hccla companies to join to-
gether in driving the tunnel in ques-
ton and as soon rs this agreement
is duly ratified work ON the tunnel
will begin.
The East Hecla company owns a
group Of 25 claims joining the Nat
ional on the east and extending
over towards the Hecla OH the west.
1t is directly on the strike Of both
lodges if they are seperate lodges,
many prominent mining men be-
lieving that development will even
tually prove the Hecla and National
to be the same fissure.
The East Hecla company's ground
is as yet little prospected but in adj
dition to the exploration of the east
end Of its group by means Of
the joint tunnel, it's management
has arranged to do considerable
prospecting towards the west end
line Of its property, three quarters
Of mile away. Here, on the Burke
slope, a force, of men is now running
open cuts to determine the best
place to begin permanent develop
ment.
The company has an unusually
strong directorate:. Engineer +.

SNOW STORM DIVIDEND


That the recent decline in the
price OF copper has not seriously
affected the Snow Stom is best
evidenced by the fact that on
Tuesday it paycd it's regular
monthly dividend Of three cents
a share or $4,000. This makes
the Snow Storm dividends this
year total $360,OOO and brings
the total to date to $450,O0O.
With the profits Of 100000
made by the leasors added it
brings the total earnings of the
mine to over 81, 900, 900. All in
less than two years.

are also made of ooze in all colors, and

times. The black and white striped
chiffons are still seen in great number,
but have been lately superseded by the
printed chiffons before mentioned. A
black chiffon skirt may now be elabo-
rately tucked, the white showing so
distinctly between the tucl1s only serv-
ing to tighten the gown. The bodice is
relieved and made suitable for the
evening by a collar and deep yoke of
rich lace, while the sleeves are often
wholly of lace and white chiffon, or
again are OF the black chiffon, embroi-
dered with only a touch OF lace at the
elbow cuff. The embroidery on the
gown may be entirely in black and
white but a touch of color or some
gold and silver passementerie worked
in is always in combination with plain
black. Jet and jet embroidery and
paillettes serve to make a black gown
more noticeable, and for handsome
dress the conspicuous should always be
striven for so long as 1t keeps within
the limits of perfect taste.
Satins, velvets and heavy silks ana

of lace and chiffon and the skirt simply

smart cloth evening dresses. Naturally
only the Hghtest and most delicate
shades are suitable, for in the color
more even than in the material the
gown may be kept wholly distinct from

be made on the high girdle empire

the bodice Is then OF chiffon or net
trimmed in some way with bands OF
embroidered cloth. If the gown is OF
a peculiarly light shade the lace may
be dipped in the same color, collar and

Some Midseason Frocks

FASHIONABLE nodlstes are now
turning out the most useful and
charming midseason frocks such
as really would be useful to any
E-oman. no matter what her station IN
life. These frocks seem to indicate that
the fabrics which were fashionable last
spring have not lost their hold In the
affections OF the public. Veilings.
eoliennes and similar fabrics are being
used for these little frocl<S, whose dis
tinctive point is their extreme simplicity.
Plaids and invisible checks ana stripes
as well as plain colors are used. Tha
preference is for dark effects, the only
variation OF this idea being IN the
direction of the black and white, broEp
and white or blue and white materials
The frocks are made with skirts OF
round length, pleated or trimmed with
tucks and without other trimmings
than the folds of silk or embroidery
that trim the waist These are not at
all showy. but are put on in a tailored
effect, the embroidery being in fact
stitchery merely, something like hena-
stitching, brier stitching, etc The
waists are close fitting. fastened at one
side or an the back. over the basque

The sleeves are three-quarter. finished
with a cuff or Undersleeve Ike the
chemisette. The belt is an inconspicu-
Gus affair OF crushed, pleated or
stitched silk matching the trimming OF
the froek.
The idea OF this style OF froek seems
to be to escape entirely from the over
picturesque. overtrimmed fashions
which have rather prevailed this win

which were in vogue Defore thu erase
for the empire and princess styles came
IN 1t is neat, simple. becoming to al
most any figure. and somehow more IN
accord with the necessities of uD-to-
date existence than the more effective
but less generally becoming empire and
princess styles. This mldseason style
OF frock, however, may be made de-
cidedIy effective il that is what - de-
usual design. White and black striped
voiles or white and gray voiles and
eoliennes make up into most striking
costumes even when the style employed
Is one OF simple lines and not much
trimmed. The waist usually has shall
low yoke of lace. and beneath this a
pointed chemisette reaching half way
down the front of the waist This
lower portion is made OF a different
material from the yoke. For instance.
if the yoke is made OF Irish lace the
dependent chemisette may be made OF
guipure. or il the yoke be OF guipure
the chemisette might be tucked net.

body who has ever been forced to keep
boxes for clothes under the bed will
realize what a boon a box so easily
handled would be. Generally, ordinary
boxes used in this manner cause as
much loss of temper to women as the
ordinary collar button loss does to men,
The box is also made very light In
weight, which adds to It's perfection.
The framework is of light wood, the
sides and top being covered with flow
cred chintz. The sides are not solid,
but have uprights OF wood at intervals
to keep them from sagging In. That
part of the woodwork which shows is
painted in enamel white. Altogether,
the box is as attractive in appearance
as it is convenient for USE

going into colors that is little

fashions would have to add to the other
expenses OF her toilette that of boots to
