The Morning Mine

The Morning Mine
One Of the most important events
in the development Of this company's
mineral empire in the Occur d Alenes
was the successful intersection of the
Morning vein at Mullan, by cross
cut tunnel two miles long, at depth
of 1000 feet, and the connection be-
tween this tunnel and the No. 5
level in the mine, 900 feet vertically
above, with a shaft, from which sew
eral intermediate levels have been
run and enormous reserves of rich
ore disclosed that has fully warranted
the great price paid for this property
by the Federal company during
1905. This long mill tunnel, known
as No. 6, is beingiequipped for cleo
trio haulage and all the ore of this
property will come out through the
new avenue instead of coming down
over the surface railway as before.
In the 1O00-ton concentrator con-
nected. wieh this property, some i'm
portant additional machinery has
been added and put into commission
during the year, the principal fea-
ture Of which is a. regrinding plant
for handling tailings, consisting Of
two six foot Huntington mills with
sizing and settling devices embracing
the Callow system of travelling
screens, and conical tanks which size
the ore to advantage, and the settling
tanks thickcn it much better than
the old system was able to do. The
material is then treated on Whitley
tables and vanners on different floors,
the thickened pulp taking hold, ap-
parently, on the surface Of the ma
machines much better than before,
and the new equipment is saving
300 tons Of high grade mineral q
month, in addition to what was
saved before, and will probably be
extended to handle the full product

Fire at Hypotheek Mine

The engine house at the Hypoth-
eek mine near Kingston was de-
stroyed by fire early on Monday
morning. The machinery it con-
tained, including an engine and
compressor, was not seriously in
jured. The crew has been laid off
and it will probably require from
three weeks to a month TO effect re-
pairs and erect new building.

FEDERAL BIGGEST PRODUCER
One Of Its Four Mines Closely Rivals
the Famous Bunker Hill

uleaI as lS Ine bunker Hill mlne which was described
by the Miner last week. it has dangerous rival in of
the four producing properties of the Federal Mining &
Smelling company Mace mine or Standard Mammoth
as it used to be known This mine alone last year pro-
dced IS 9yo 100000 Of the total production
The Mace mine is a wonder. The ore it is now ship
ping from Its lowest levels averages higher in silver values
than any other mine in the Coeur dAlenes The silver
ounces against 1885, 780 from the Bunker Hill Not
even the lower levels of the famous Hercules are so rich
in the white metal
Mammoth Production
The total output of the four Federal mnes the value
for the last four weeks of the year being estimated
count OF the non arrival of the ore at the smete was
545 ounces Of silver and 29 02 800 pounds of lead
Of total value of $756OOO This total is based on the
cents per for silver and 67 cents per pound
for lead less the usual eter deductions Of 10 per cent
on the lead and per cent on the silver assay value
Employees Payroll
During the year the companys payroll averaged 43O
men in it's four producing mnes while 80 to so men
were employed IN nonproducve properties The average
wage paid by the company per shift was $367. This
means total expenditure for labor of nearly two million
dollars. One million dollars more went to the railroad
companies for freight it's output and supplies It's to-
tai shipments of first class and concentrates were 1885,
638 tons.
The Local Management
The entire property is under the sole management of
W. Clayton Miller whose phenomenal success Should be
matter Of local pride since he has been connected with
the development and operation of the mines of this dis
trct since ne came to it as very young just embark
about him unusually able corps of assistants each Of
whom is specialist in department In charge of
the accounting is H. NJ Hall. Roy Kingsbury looks after
the purchasing and distribution of supplies. Wm D.
Fisher general superintendent of all the mines George
Ruggess holds like position with regard to the mills
Richard Pascoe in charge Of the Mace mine, premier
mine superintendent and D. W. Peoples at Wardner,
Chas Cartwright at Muan and Fred Bergn at Burke
complete list of as able mine supernrendents as can be
found in any country Ellis Hale is master mechanic
AS good brief description Of the past years history
could be desired is found in the annual report of State
Mine Inspector Robert N Bell Coming from an outside
and unpeudced it all the more interesting and
reliable and we need offer apology for reprnting it. It
is as follows:
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-02-28
ORE BODIES ARE Permanent
State Mine Inspectors Comments on
This Districts Record

State Mine Inspector Robert N.
Bell, in the introduction to his an
nual record, thus summarizes what
has been done and is doing in the
Occur d'Alenes. It will be noted
that in his remarks regarding the
Bunker Hill mine he points a moral
for investors. We quote from him
as follows:
Idaho Very Prosperous
In common with other western
mining states, Idaho, during 1906,
has enjoyed a very prosperous year
OF mining activity, production and
dividends.
The enhanced values 81 lead, sill
Yer and copper dag...s the year
have greatly increased the profits
OF our producing mines, and while
the output is considerably larger
than last year, and establishes a
new high record in silver and cop
per, the values Of all the metals
make much more conspicuous in
crease.
Coeur dAlene Output
The value of the mineral produc-
ton Of the Coeur d'Alene district
this year will alone exceed the COM
bined production of the whole state
in 1905. The dividends distributed
from that famous field will be great
ly enhanced all around, and the re-
markable performance of the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan mine, which
distributed to its fortunate stock
holders during 1906 $2,24O, 900, is
notable event, and when it is con-
sidered that this great profit was de-
rived from single ore body in the
mine at a depth on the dip Of the
vein Of about 5000 feet, the propo-
sition of permanency in Idaho's min
eral deposits will be established at
least with one magnificent precedent,
for this is at once the deepest, rich
est and most extensive ore develop
ment in the state, and probably of
its kind in the whole mining world.
Object Lesson for Investors
This mine has been producing
constantly for 20 years, but has only
become an important dividend
payer within the past three years,
as the result of an enormous faith
in its permanency and outlay of
capital in its development at such
great depth. 1t emphasizes the ne
cessity OF the investment of capital,
knowledge and faith in mining en-
terprises, and affords an example
that should encourage the speculat-
i've investment Of capital in the de,
velopment Of other true vein, lead
silver deposits Of the state that have
made a respectable showing in their
surface horizons. There are many
such whose output in their upper
horizons obtained important figures
that have been practically dorman,,
since the silver panic in 1893.

Near Schwenksylile. Pa, is village
that bears the name Of woxail. This
wonderful name was the result OF an
error upon the part Of the postofice de-
partment In Washington. The place
was known many years ago as Crop.
pestettel," or "Crowtown," and later
as Mechanicsville. but when a post
Office was established there In 1888
neither of these names was satisfac-
tory, and it was decided to choose a
new cognomen Many were the sug-
gestions submitted to the postoftice de-
partment, but all were found to be too
nearly like the name of some other
postottice to be acceptable. One day
the village storekeeper saw the word
"Noxall' upon piece Of calico and
called the attention Of several friends
to 1t. At once all agreed that "Nox-
air. would be a fine name for their
town. So the postofiice authorities were
notified. Soon letter came from
Washington approving the name that
had been chosen. but 'in the letter it
was spelled "Woxall.' So Woxall be-
came the name of the village.-Phila.

ABILITY of Hares and Rabbits,

Interesting figures on the relative
agility of hares and rabbits are given
in volume by J. C. Millals. when
running at ease" he says, 1.-THE length
of the hare's stride is about four feet,
but under conditions of fear its leaps
extend to ten and twelve feet, while
some authors claim that it can jump
fen bitches twenty to twenty-five feet
in width. Perpendicularly hare can
jump on to five foot wall, but seems
to be nonplused by one about six feet.
The stride OF the rabbit is about two
feet. When necessary 1t can make
leaps of six or seven feet horizontally.
About three feet is the highest that a
rabbit can attain to even when helped
by the aspertties of stone wall" Mr.
Millais tells how rabbits swim-when
compelled to: "They swim with the
head held as high as possible, while
the hooks of the hind legs appear
above the element at each stroke. The
shoulders and front part of the body
are buried beneath the water, while
the rump and tail are high and dry"
