ablaze the employees sought safety in

Shaiter Looking Good

The Shaiter lateral being driven cas-,
from the Ceatral tunnel is now in a
distance of more than I,o feet, and the
breast 10 now showing streak of ore
over four feet wide which, it is said
returns over 500 to the ton. The size
OF the streak and the value of the ore are
similar to what is now being worked BY
the company in the slopes from the
lateral on the west of the Central tun-
mel, and from which heavy tonnage is
being shipped. This is but another ex-
ample of the fact that ore bodies ex-
ist along the line of the tunnels
which may not show any particular
values It the point the vein is inte-sect
ed. In the case of the Shafter vein, no
values worth mentioning were found
when the Centrai tnnnel cut the vein,
but now on both sides, and for hun

Is an immense body OF ore nearly all

On Tuesday evening the local Wood
men lodge held a jubilee gathering at
its hall, and the success of the affair sur.
passed even the expectations of those
who are most enthusiastic in boosting
for the order in ard out of season. The
prime object of the occasion was to re-
jeice over the phenomenal growth en-
joyed by the order, and to let friends of
the mem bers know what been accom-
plished and something about the benefits
erjo,ed.
Ben Potter acted as presiding officer,
and briefly reviewed the local growth,
afterwards introducing John Morris who
rendered several vocal selections. Rev
Adams was present as guest and in re-
sponse to request, delighted his hear
ers with a boosting talk not only for
Woodc,aft but for the city and can D.
Rev Heltman and w. l.. Bush in turn
made splendid talks along fraternity
lines, and Sprague Stewart entertained
the audience with topical songs.
The principal address was made by
State Organizer Price, who devoted his
time to the history Of the order and the
bene fits enjoyed by all members, closing
his remarks by well worded plea to all
outsiders to come into the fold That
his efforts were not without avail is evil
denced by the fact that many then and
there made application for membership.
The set programme was followed by a
bountitul lunch, the evening closing
with social session.
The Woodnen lodge has made won
derful growth and the membership is to
be congratulated upon the success that
has met their efforts.

SINK THE GEM
SHAFT TO BE SUNK 1000 FEET BELOW
NEWAoUSE TUNNEL LEVEL.
IS NOW SHIPPING BIG TONNAGE
THREE CARS MIlloRE DAILY GOING
1o1AE NEWTON ANNEX MILL.

Milling ore is being shipped from the
Gem mines through the Newhouse tun-
mel and by way OF the Colorado & South
ern cars to the Newton annex mill at the
rate OF three carloads day, which is
equivalent to ,, 500 tons month. The
mill, which was remodeled over year
ago for the treatment of ore from the
lower levels of the Gem mine, will be
kept ste7dilv in operation until the
completion of the new Gem mill near
the portal of the Newhouse tunnel.
The tunnel company has arranged
to furnish the Gem company with all of
the needed cars and the Gem now las
the exclusive use of one of the electric
locomotives. 1t is proposed to increase
the tonnage OF ore inst as soon as the
slopes can be gotten in shape for larger
working force, as the capacity of the mill
is considerably over 5000 tons per
month.
The Gem Consolidated Mines company
is pref airing to sink shaft below the
level of the Newhouse tunnel, and will
install machinery with a capacity of
sinking to depth of 1000 feet. A
large station has been blasted ont in the
| lateral for the plant, which will be oper-
ateu by electric power.
The Gem mine already has the deepest
working mining shaft in this state 200
feet, and with an additional 2,ooo feet it
will have ope ned up the big Gem vein to
depth Of nearly a mile. 1t is gigantic
undertaking. but is entirely feasible and
justified by conditions. At the surface
the Gem vein is 20 feet wide and at the
level of the Nrwhouse tunnel it is IS feet
in width, At the latter point Is feet of
the vein matter is pay ore, while three
feet of the material is of smelling grade
averaging Soo per ION.
! The long time prevalent theory that
values do not extend to great depths In
| fissure veins, has been completely shat
tered by number of examples in the
Newhouse tunnel, but the sinking of the
new shaft III be watched with much in
terest hy mining men IN this, as well as
in other districts.
