Have Five Feet on the
Mable Vein,
WILL RUN THE MILL
Expect to Be Operating First
of January.

S. L. Boyer, superintendent at the
property Of the Thunder Mountain Gold
company, reported last Sunday that
strike of four and one-half feet of good
ore was made last week in drift west
from No. tunnel. Mr.. Boyer states
the ore is on what is commonly known
as the Mable vein and is developed with
an upper tunnel that exposes the ore
for los feet. With the additional depth
gained upon the vein the ore has in
creased both in quantity and quality.
Will Run the Mill.
"Our new 50-horse-power boiler is
now at the NINE" said Mr.. Boyer, land
we expect to have our 1O-stamp mill
operating about the first of January.
There is enough ore in sight now to
supply the mill for considerable
length of time, and with the excellent
prospect we have of catching large
shoot little farther ahead in the work
we have under way, feel that I can
give almost positive assurance that the
mill will continue to run when it is
started"
Much Development.
Since Mr.. Boyer took control of af-
fairs, now little over year, differ
ent plan in development work has been
followed. Tunnels have been run to
tap the ore bodies at great depth. The
strike made last week, as also the ore
encountered in the face qf No tunnel
in September, proves the wisdom of the
plan.

4 General Salary Increase,

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has announced a ten per cent
increase in the salaries Of all its EN-
ployes, commencing March LIST.
The manager Of the Farmville office
received the following message from
l.. J. Maxwell, superintendent Of this
division:
Richmond, Va, Feb. 20, 'O7.
MANAGER, Farmyille, Va.
The following telegram received
from Supt, Levin, dated February 20,
1907: This company has received pc
titiOns within the last sixty days from
sixteen offices in the West and South
west asking for an increase of ten per
cent. in the salary Of employees. The
petitions have been given careful con-
sideraiiOn, bearing in mind that the
Company could not discriminate i'm
favor of a few offices but that any
action taken shOJld be general. In
this connection it has been necessary
TO consider the enormously increased
cost Of all kinds Of telegraph material
which i'm many cases have been from
fifty to one hundred per cent. while
the tariff rates Of messages and other
traffic are very low in view Of the de-
mands of the public for everincreasing
facilities and more rapid service. In
fact many OF these rates are relics OF
iOrmtr ruinOus competition and are
Improbable. Notw thstanding thes
facts the Company ha, decided TO in
crease the salaries Of operators and
managers at all of its independent
offices throughout the country ten
per cent. from March lst, 1907. This
applies to all managers, chief opera
tors, traffic chiefs, general chiefs and
operators In the cOmpany's indepen-
dent offices.
