BONANZA ftND IN
REPORTED

An important strike is reported on a
group of claims held by Charles Cirac
and Charles Mottini in I X L district,
about 25 miles almost due north of Won
der. The rich vein found is in a great
lode. and cuts the formation. seemingly
running lengthwise with the lode. At
the surface the assays are said to show
$2.250 in gold and silver. with 81 per
cent of copper The average for the ore
in the surface showing is reported to be
$1.549, of which 23 ounces are gold. One
shoot, two feet wide, is said to carry
soft ore. requiring no blasting. but
easily picked out. Specimens from this
vein easily run over $4,000 to the ton,
with a large per cent in gold. Ruby
silver. horn silver and gold are the prin-
cipal ingredients. AS to the extent of
this vein. up to this date there has been
no information. The owners are sinking
on it and sacking the ore as rapidly as
possible.
This body of high grade will probably
average about $1,000 a ton, and it is
within a few hundred feet of a vein
from which Mr.. Haire, of the Queen
mine, took ore last winter running
$500 in horn and ruby silver, and
which averaged for the shipping grades
around $500 a ton.
That I x L win be one of the perma-
nent camps of Churchill county for
many years is the belief of engineers
and miners familiar with that district.

Ramsey, New, Nov, 12.-It Is in
deed remarkable h the district has
held up in such good shape. in fact has
continued to advance. with all the fnan-
cial depression and general money panic
OF the last few weeks. 1t looks as
though In spite of 1t all a good winter
season is to be experienced here. More
depth in the older mines, with conse-
quent increased ore tonnage. and a hun
dred and one places where gold has been
found, are no doubt responsible for the
favorable conditions.
The walkover company is putting up
a hoist, having completed the upraise
from the tunnel level. and will soon
have full shifts at work. Shipping
value ore has been exposed up to the top
of the big dyke and when stopping is
commenced at the first level they will
take ore out to surface. They are fast
getting things in shape for steady ship
ments and have a couple of carloads
piled on the dump to start with.
Down in the fourth level OF the Ram
sey-Comstock mine the richest ore yet
uncovered has been ound in the hang
ing wall vein. This 7-foot ore body
will run close to 5000 per ton in gold
and is all being sacked for shipment as
broken down.. Between three and four
carloads of ore are standing at Apache
and will be shipped as soon as more
favorable smelter conditions exist or
the services of a mill are secured. Visit

The Manhattan Investment mpa
of New York, which financed the Wy
man-Vick Gold Mining company, owning
a one-third interest in the Copper Reef
mine at Barrel Springs. and property at
Gold Mountain, has given out the fol-
lowing information:
I'VE received a telegram OF the 18th
of September from Rhyolite. New, from
George f. Wyman. the treasurer of the
company and manage at the mines.
stating that he has acquired the whole
Copper Reef mine for the Wyman-vick
company and will begin shipping ore at
once. The Copper Reef property con-
sists of forty acres.
"The Copper Reef mine in June last
shipped ore from near the surface and
this ore brought about $3.50 a ton. The
shaft now is down fully 100 feet or
more and the ore has steadily increased
in quality with depth. +,
The ore shipped in June was mined
in the most expensive manner in order
to get it out quickly to see what the
shipment would bring per ton n the
net profit averaged about 1920 a ton.
The ore is so rich in this mine that
the present low price of copper can drop
down fully a half more and this mine
can then be operated at a fair profit.
The last report. received late in
August from the treasurer of the wy
man-vick company. showed that only
about 800. 900 shares Of stock has been
issued, equal to $500, 900 at the par
value of the stock.
ITO show for this issue of stock the
-------r - 1919. .ltn~-~ -o--Au
mine and seventy acres of gold property
at Hold Mountain.
1T now looks as though 200. 900 addi-
tional shares sold will put the Copper
Reef mine in fully equipped shape and
in good money making order and de-
velop the Gold Mountain property.
Mr.. wyman saw that the Copper
Reef property could be quickly put on
a shipping basis by devoting his en-
ergies to that purpose and although the
~advisability OF doing so seemed ques-
tionable to some stockholders, the wis
dom of Mr.. Wyman's operations can
now be seen.
Two hundred thousand additional
shares, when sold, with the 800. 900 now
issued will make the total outstanding
stock of the company only $500, 900.
which is a very low capitalization for
the copper rhine alone.
IF this amount of stock is sufficient
to put both properties in proper shape.
as we believe 1t will. no more stock will
be sold and the earnings of both prop
critics will be divided among the holders
of this stock. The balance of the stock
will not be issued but will remain In the
treasury of the company.

WHITING HAS A SONG WRITER.
Herbert Ingraham's Compositions In
Demand by New York Publisher.

Whiting has a song writer in the
person of Herbert Ingraham, who has
quite a future before him if Maurice
Shapiro, the New York music pub
Usher has a correct estimate Of his
ability.
It is said that Shapiro visited Ham
merstein's Victoria theater in New
York and heard Mabel Hite sing In
graham's latest song. ''Beacause I'm
Married Now" and was so well pleased
with it that he sought Miss Hite after
the concert and learned from her the
name of the composer.
Later this enterprising music dealer
made a special visit to Chicago and
succeeded in securing a contract from
Ingraham for the exclusive right 70
his musical productions and also the
copyright to his new song, which he
believes will be one of the hits OF the
season

COUNTY TIMES at the solicitation of
several of the business men of the
city.
1t is expected that the vice presi-
dents remarks will have a bearing on
the local industrial situation as we'll
as national politics and as the vice
president is one of those most fire.
quently mentioned as a probable can
dtdate for president in 1908, his every
remark will be of interest.
During the recent campaign when
Mr.. Fairbanks spoke for few moments
in this city he made a good impress
sion and many of his hearers have
since expressed a desire to hear him
when he is not hurried by the strenu-
Gus speech making of campaign.
AS an advertisement to the city Mr..
Fairbanks stopover here is important
and the business men of the city are
expected to take steps to make the visit
a complete success.
The following are the messages that
resulted in the vice presidents de-
cision to speak here
To the Honorable Charles w. Fair

The citizens of Hammond would like
TO see ana near you dS yOu pass

This is one of the many subsidiary
concerns that is locating in the Cal
umet region on account of the proxi-
nifty to the great steel mills at Gary
and that the close observers of real
estate conditions believe will ulti-
mately cause the building up of all
the territory between this city and
Gary.
The Haddison- Walker company give
as reasons for locating near East Chi
cago the fact that they will save en-
ormous sums in freight by being able
to manufacture their brick near this
new center of demand.
1t is said that the new concern was
offered sites free in several other
places. but decided that the Calumet
region was the ideal place for their
business and finally decided to locate
here.

SWITCHMAN MEETS
WITH BAD ACCIDENT
John l.. Good of Hammond
Knocked From Top Of
Car Loses Legs.

John l. Good, a switchman on the
Monon road running between South
Hammond and Chicago on what is
known as the merchandise run" met
with an accident yesterday afternoon
that may cost him his life.
The crew had made its trip to Chi
cago and had started back and while
going under the Sixteenth street sub
way Good was knocked from the top
of a box car, falling under the NOV
ing wheels where both legs were
crushed above the knees. He was TAX
en- to the Peoples hospital by the po-
lice of the Twenty second street sta
ton. where it was found necessary to
have both legs amputated. Good was
well known throughout railroad cir
cles.
AS soon as the news reached Ham
mond the injured mans brother, George
Good, accompanied by several railroad
men. left at once for Chicago to be
at his bedside. 1t was at first thought
he would die but reports from the
hospital this morning state that he is
improving.
Good is a married man. having been
married only a short time and lives
at 40 Conkey avenue.
Good has two brothers, both of whom
are employed on the railroad

Business Men Arrange for
Fitting Dedication of
Federal Building.
CLUBS TO PARTICIPATE
Congressman Crumpacker and Other
Distinguished Persons Will Be
Present to Help Celebrate.

fitting dedication of the new fed
eral building which is now practically
completed Is being planned by the
Commercial and Business Mems clubs
of this city. 1t is the intention to
make the celebration an epoch mark
ing day in the history of Hammond
and while none of the plans for the
occasion are yet definite, the outlines
are promising.
The two organizations are working
together and intend to interest the city
council in their plans. They may go SO
far as to ask the latter at its session
next Tuesday evening for reason
able appropriation TO carry them out.
Congressman +. ID. Crumpacker of
this district through whose efforts the
beautiful building was secured, is to
be the guest of honor for the day and
also the principal speaker at the ban
quet in the evening. Party lines are
TO be cast aside for the day, it being
the intention to bring together the
whole county.
Ready May 1.
The day for the dedication has not
been definitely set although it is
thought that everything can be in
readiness by May l. An appeal will
probably be made to the business men
of Hammond to close their business
places for the day or part of the day
and thus give the city an opportunity
| to welcome the many guests that are
expected to be present
The dedication banquet which is tc
follow in the evening in a place to be
selected by committee is to be for the
public in general and is being looked
upon as an occasion to sound startling

federal building has been looked for
ward to with eagerness not only b!
the people of Hammond but from al
over the county. They appreciate th'

TAFT REFUSES
TO HELP CANAL
Project to Drain Great Area
OF Low Lands Will be
Abandoned.

Washington, D. c., March 14..-Sec-
retary of War Taft today denied the
application of the Chicago sanitary
district trustees for permission to d.
vert the Calumet river from Lake
Michigan so that it will flow backward
into the drainage canal.
The action of the secretary practic-
ally puts an end to the plan to drain
the vast Calumet region between West
Pullman and Blue Island, where stu
pendous real estate investments had
cision of the War Department would
be favorable. Thousands of acres that
would easily have been reclaimed by
the diversion of the river will have to
be reclaimed by a vast sewer system
that will cost millions Of dollars.
A special bill will be required to be
put through congress If the original
scope of the drainage canal project is
carried out.
In disposing of the petition of the
commissioners Secretary Taft acted on
the recommendation of the govern
IUGHI HSBlHGeF, VINO ndQ reported LHdL
IL more water were diverted the lake
level would be lowered at a conse-
quence. The secretary of war held
that as the engineer had rejected the
proposition and as 1T could be granted
only by joint action of that officer with
himself he found himself obliged to
refuse the permit. This will mean that
the drainage trustees will introduce
special bill in congress asking for
authority to proceed with the improve
ment.
AS originally planned the drainage
canal was to be tapped both from the
south and from the north shore. so
that no drainage would be discharged
into the waters of the lake. This is
considered to be essential to the main
tenance of a pure water supply for
Chicago.
At present the Calumet river empties
into the lake. discharging the drain
age of the south shore. 1t was TO di-
vert the flow of the Calumet river into
the drainage canal that the trustees
petitioned Secretary Taft. The sani-
tary district engineer has already
mapped out the course of the canal
connecting with the Calumet river and
has secured land values.
Trustee William II. Baker said last
night that there is no doubt congress
will be petitioned for relief
