THE WAR EAGLE GROUP
$4,000 Expended in Explora'
tion-Bunker Hill Ore Zone

Not the least interesting property
in the R4acer Creek basin is the
War Eagle, of which Engineer
George r. Trask is manager. ltais
owned principally by Wisconsin
capitalists who have expended $780,
600 in its exploration. 1t is large
group consisting Of Is claims and
covers both sides Of the south fork
Of Placer creek. 1t is traversed
from end to end by the Bunker Hill
ore zone which passes out OF it into
the Horn Silver on the east, thence
into the Castle Rock and Occur
d'Alene Beauty and on through the
Vienna international two and half
miles beyond the Castle Rock.
Most Of the work on the War Ea-
gle has been done on the loot
wall OF the ore zone which is
here from 800 to 1900 feet wide.
A drift tunnel has been run
near the footwall for $500 feet,
work having only been suspended
on it temporarily two weeks ago. It
shows heavy naturalization through
out but no commercial ore.
On the hanging wall side Drift
tunnel has been run $50 feet along
side Of the diorite dixie which forms
the wall Of the ore zone, From this
dixie numerous cross assures strike
| into the zone and two Of them are
now to be explored, some 300 feet
Of prosecuting having been accom-
plished already. It Is in a similar
II formed cross assure that the
iVienna-International found its big
body Of galcna.
The working force Of lhe War
Eagle consists Of only twp men at
present, but it will be incieased to
six or eight men as soon as the
wagon road to the mine, assertion
lof which was washed out Nby a
freshet last fall, has been repaind.
Six men were employed AL sym
mer.

WONDERFUL HAS RICH ORE
East Drift Continues to Show Fins
Body Of Chalcopyrits

The Wonderful Company is work
ing force Of five men on its group
which adjoins the Bullion on the
west. Two tunnels are being run.
One is a drift on the ledge near the
east end Of the company's holdings
and it continues to show o fine body
Of high grade chalcopyrite ore which
has been as wide as 30 inches at
times. The ledge itself is from IL
to Is feet wide.
The other tunnel is a crosscut
which is being run to tap the ledge
near the lower and west end Of the
company's ground. It is now be-
lieved to be close to the ledge as the
formation has lately changed in
character and has q similar appear

The Charles Dickens Company
will Join the list 81 producera about
March i, and it will BE- no unim-
portant producer either. Hs new
75-ton mill will start operations. on
that date and begin grinding out
both lead and zinc concentrates after
the fashion established ~ Manager
Samuels OF the Success mine.
It is an extraordinary fact that
very little seems to be known OF
this mine in Wallace and but little
more at Kellogg, and the work that
has been going on there's late has
attracted little attention. ~ mine
is three miles up Moon Gulch, on
the north side Of the South Fork OF
the Occur d'Alene river and Is about
six miles from Kellogg. It con-
sists Of 10 claims covering 1850
feet Of it's ledge.
The workings on the property
total about / 500 feet. Apart from
minor surface workings most Of the
development has been done in a
5OO-foot tunnel, from which there
are a number Of crosscuts, and in a
two-compartment shaft, down 200
feet, with a large amount Of drifting
at it's bottom, there being also a
l5O-foot Wine from one Of these
drifts.
The tunnel, shaft, drifts and
! Wine all show good bodies Of mixed
lead and zinc ore, similar to the ore
!. OF the Success mine and some Of the
/ Pine Greek properties, which occur
in shoots from six to 10 feet in
width. That these ore bodies ex-
tend to the surface is demonstrated
by the very strong groupings OF the
ledge which are traceable for a long
way both east and west.
Probably the finest showing is in
the deepest workings, the Wine al
ready referred to, swhere the ore
shoot has been proved to average
seven feet in width and to assay II
per cent in lead, 16 per cent in zinc
and about nine ounces OF silver tt
to the ton.
Work, which has been suspended
in the mine pending the erection O
the mill, will be resumed on Satur
day and one Of the first things done
will be to run an upraise from thu
tunnel level through to the surface
It is expected this will go up on orr
all the way.
The new 75-ton concentration will
be operated by steam. It is mod
i elled on that Of the Success min,
and will be fed largely from tn
dumps which contain an accumuh
ton Of considerably over |, 900 tom

TIE LOCAL MARKET
Business Showed Great
Improvement

The feature Of the local stock
! market for the past week, aside from
the marked improvement in prices
and volume Of business as compared
with the last three months, WAS the
slump and subsequent recovery OF
4 Copper King. No plausible expla-
nation Of the decline IN Copper
King has been offered except that,
as is well known, some large holder
concluded to realize suddenly, pre-
sumably because be had to. The
way the stock was offered for a day
Or two was enough to scare the most
courageous investor Or Spectator
but the price went 90 low that the
\ public soon absorbed all that was
offered.
The decline in Copper King
caused temporary weakness in
other Greenough stocks, notably
Idaho Giant and Snowshoe, but
both made quick recovery.
Park was almost the only Other
stock that showed weakness. Hum
mingBird showed only a slight gain
Stocks which were notably strong
er and higher were: Alameda, Bull.
lion, Charles Dickens, Echo, Happy
Day, Mineral Farm, Monitor, Ma
bob Dom Paul, Stewart and Tama
rack.
The sudden Jump in Dom Pau
was due to local buying BY miner
at work in the mine.
The advances in Monitor ant
Nabob were due to better appreci
. ation BY the public Of the great or
showings on these properties. Boil
are bound to go much higher.
Stewart il now both owned ant

Employees and Payroll
The Bunker Hill mine employs at
present about 40 men. Its monthly
bay roll is about $45, 600. Fifty per
cent Of the employees are married
and so per cent Of the married en-
ployes own their own homes. Many
| Of them have been working for the
company for 10 years and large
numbers 81 the most skilled under
ground miners learned all they
know about their trade right in the
mine, having joined its staff when
mere boys.
The proportion Of fatalities in
underground work stands conapari-
son, like the ore bodies, with any
mine in the world. During the
past five years there have been only
three fatal accidents, and the mini
mum pay roll at any time during
that period was 375 men. Most OF
the men take advantage Of an OPP
tional system Of health, accident
and life insurance on the fraternal
plan conducted by the Wardner In
dustrial Union to which the COM
pany contributes an amount equal
to the combined premiums OF the

CHICAGO, May a7.-Meat prices in

LABOR UNIONS
GOMPERS ASKS FINANCIAL AID
FOR THE STRIKING
TELEGRAPHERS.

CHICAGO. Sept. 13.-An app al to
all labor unions in the country to as
sist financially the striking telegraph
ers was issued by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor.
Criticism Of the local officers for the
been distributed continued among the
strikers. They We're anxious to have
President Paulson, of the local union,
appear on the platform at Brands
hall, and make a few explanations but
he was busy in other directions and
failed to appear.
The strikers declared that one man
got SAT strike pay in two weeks and
then returned to work for the Western
Union company. Another striker was
given $40 to pay on a lot he is buying,
while others less fortunate cannot get
any hing.
Other labor unions in the city are
said to be ready to assist the strikers
waiting for a committee to visit them.
Members of the national executive
board, say that instead of working to
raise funds. the local strike leaders
have been preaching class conscious
ness" at the daily meetings and
spreading the propaganda of socialism.
E. NJ. Moore chairman of the local
executive board, said that he was do
ing the work of u men in addition to
holding the nerves of the country il.
his hand. Some of the members say
they will relieve him of the latter re-
sponsibility, at the next election,
which will be held in two weeks.
Because of dissatisfaction over the.
payment of strike funds, the telegraph
companies expected a stampede of
strikers, but there We're no assertions.
The companies said a few men re-
turned. and the strike leaders denied
that there had been any break in their
ranks.
