East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-02-04

By means of bill which Senator
Dan ]. Malarkey has introduced in
the legislature 1t is claimed that the
Barber Asphalt company, sometimes
known as the asphalt trust, is seek
ing to throttle all competition in this
state. The bill is very ingeniously
worded, and on the face OF the mea-
ure appears to be for directly opposite
the real purpose aimed at. The full
text of the bill is as follows:
A bill for an Act to insure competi-
ton in the letting of contracts for
public Improvements. Be It enact
ed by the people of the State of
Oregon:
Section 1. No municipal corpora
ton shall adopt plans or specifications
for the improvement of any street or
highway of any public Improvement
required by law to be made by con-
tract let after competitive bidding
when such plans or specifications
require the exclusive use of any pat
or any article or process protected
by any trade mark or any article or
process wholly controlled by any per-
son, firm or corporation or combina-
tion thereof ,
Would Bar Bitulithic.
1t is maintained by the Warren con-
struction people that the passage Of
such a law would eliminate them
from further business in this state
and give their asphalt rival a clear
monopoly on the paving business. This
is because the bitulithic paving mix
ture is patented by the Warren people
and therefore would be barred in the
future should the Malarkey bill pass.
Councilmen Protest.
Today Judge S. A. Lowell. local at
torney for the Warren people, has
been busy securing protests against
the passage of the proposed law.
kilograms protesting against the pas
age of the law have been filed by
several members of the city council
and others who are familiar with the
subject. Aside from this the Warren
company is taking the matter UP with
the various members of the legisla-
ture, and the bill II 1t passes at all
will do so only after hard struggle.
Senator Malarkey, author of the bill
is the Portland attorney and general
representative of this state for the
Barber Asphalt company.

On February 10 stockmen's meet
ing will be held at Heppner for the
purpose of receiving grazing applica-

that reserve embraces much of the

will be necessary for a number of
the sheep and cattlegrowers of this
county to be present at the meeting.
Superintendent d. B. Shelter will

Work on Horn Silver

The drift tunnel on the Horn
Silver, which is being driven under
a $50 foot contract by Otto Free
man, is now in 600 feet. Through
out its course the ledge matter,
which is principally spathic iron
and quartz, is well mineralized and
several short shoots of rich chalco-
pyrite ore have been encountered
The company's property consists of
four claims covering 1900 feet of
the Bunker Hill ore zone. The
group lies between the Castle Rock
and War Eagle and is about three
miles from town up Placer creek.
John r. Metz, president, and M.
F. Mcneil, of McNeill's Mining
exchange, secretary, are among the
principal owners.

lied.
The No. tunnel is $50 feet long.
The No. 2 tunnel is 200 feet lower
and is in about 100 feet. It will
tap the big ledge with about 200
feet more of work. 1t has just cut
a blind ledge at a depth Of about rs
feet which shows galena and iron
ore for width of 80 feet and a four
foot streak Of black copper sulphides.
Good assay returns are obtained
from the ore in both sunnels.
The property is well equipped
and owns a pipe line from Alma
compressor. This power will
shortly be used to operate machine
drills. The company has expended
about $4,000 in development and
and is considered to
have very bright prospects. Four
men are now employed but this
force will soon be increased to II.

PARK IS NEARING LEDGE
Twenty-Five Feet Of Highly Mineral
ICED Quartzlte Cut

The crosscut from the lower tun-
mel on the Park is supposed to be
very close to the ledge. Recently
25 feet OF highly mineralized quart
ute was cut, but as it was encoun-
tered some distance this side of
where the ledge was expected to
be no drifting has been done on it..
The showing is, however, encour-
aging enough for any ordinary
miner in search OF a vein. The
Park people are not ordinary, how
ever, in their expectations. They
have a firm belief that their mine
is the biggest copper property in
the Occur d'Alenes and it prob
ably is.

LUCKY CALUMET GROUP
Compressor Ordered to Expedite Work
on Crosscut Tunnel

The Lucky Calumet Company's
crosscut tunnel is now in 400 feet
and has about $50 feet more to run
to reach the first ledge, the Ma
tional vein. 1t will need about 400
feet more of work to reach the Sec.
ond or Snow Storm ledge. Seven
men are at present employed but
this force will be increased when
the new machinery plant is ready
for operation.
The new power line to the Ma
tional mine will be extended to the
Lucky Calumet and an IS horse
power motor and 5-drill compressor
will be installed as soon as possible.
The motor is already here and the
compressor is expected in a few
days.
The company's propersy consists
OF nine claims lying between the
Snowshoe and Independent.

The principal work on the group
has been done on the Occur d'Alene

run 100 feet near the footwall of
the ore zone. This tunnel shows
considerable ore in places where

A new lower crosscut tunnel is now

Many Properties on Placer Creek
i4 Are Exploring 1t
THE VIENNA INTERNATIONAL
It Has Developed Splendid Shoot Of Ga
lena--Casload Of Sorted Ore Now
Ready for Shipment

The center Of interest in the
Placer Creek district for some time
past has been the Vienna Interna-
tional. It was in fact the discovery
last summer Of ore Of shipping grade
in the upper tunnel on this prop
erty which drew renewed attention
to that section. 1t was fortunate
thing this was done as there can be
absolutely no doubt that the great
Bunker Hill and Sullivan ore zone
traverses the Placer Greek valley
and extends eastward to Stevens
Peak.
So far the only property on that
zone along Placer Creek which has
developed an ore body Of shipping
grade and also of commercial size is
the Vienna International. Here a
fine shoot of galena has been found
in two tunnels, 100 feet apart YER
tically, and an upraise has been
made 80 feet which is in ore all the
way. There remains about 20 feet
of work to be done to connect the
two levels.
The ore is fine galena and is al
most all Of shipping grade. tt
needs only a little hand sorting to
make it average 60 per cent in lead.
The silver values average around 16
ounces. The ore body ranges in
width from six inches to three feet
and has been drifted on for 10 feet
in the lower tunnel with a fine
showing in both faces.
About a carload of hand sorted
ore is on the dump ready to be
hauled to the railroad.
The lower tunnel is 400 feet long. |
The upper tunnel cut the ledge a
short distance in from the portal
and has been extended several hum
dred feet to cut second ore body
which crops strongly.

COMET STEADILY At WORK
Drifting on South Vein Towards the
Springfield Mine

The Comet Company, which owns
four claims adjoining the Spring
field on the east covering $500 feet
OF the ledge, has been at work all
winter extending it's drift tunnel on
the south vein towards the Spring
field. 1t will let a further contract
in few days.
The group is already considerably
developed, some 700 feet of tunnels
and so feet Of prosecuting having
been accomplished. Most of this
work was done on the south vein
which is IL feet wide and shows
considerable copper ore carrying
good values in gold and silver as
well.
Archie McCullum is president and
Joseph F. Whelan secretary of the
company. Among the larger share
holders are Jas. H. Taylor, of the
Occur d'Alene Iron Works, Coun-
Gilman Lyman Wood and AL. Hon

Shows Rich Copper Orc

M The Iron King is only two miles
below town and right across the
South Fork from the Argentine
mine. 1t has one of the finest sur
face showings Of high grade ore
in the district. The president,
James Gam, says one shoot Of
copper sulphide ore will average
over 500 per ton. Judging from
samples this is entirely probable.
The mine is being developed by a
crosscut tunnel which should reach
the ledge any day and is now in
over 500 feet.

Lower Tunnel Encounters Mixed Calena
and Cholcopyrite

The management Of Iron Spar
company, which owns group of
claims north of the Bullion, reports
that the drift on the No. 2 level
shows some good looking ore in the
face. 1t has followed the ledge for
$50 feet, the tunnel having been
run as crosscut for the first 1870
feet. The ore shoot which was en-
countered in the upper tunnel is
figured to be still 200 feet ahead.
The ore of the Iron Spar runs
well in both copper and galena and
carries fair values in gold and silver
as well.
