The public IL just beginning to ind
out why the Yellow Jacket company

HilL
One reason IL given by President slos-
son. of the yellow Jacket Mining COM
pany in his weekly report:

The existence of the green gold ledge
IN generally unknown by the public and
by the stockholders. but 1t is Of great
prospective value. owing to it's great
size and continuity.
1t extends downward as far as the
3. ooo-foot level and some Of 1t was taken
from the 1.s00-foot level and sent to the

Owing to the milling charges of 81.

Progress is being made at the rate of
five feet a day in driving the big tunnel
on the Mizpah estate. four miles south
Of camp. Three shifts. two men to the
shift. are employed, and the work pro-
ceeds without interruption during each
hour of the day.
This work is to be pushed steadily,
without any decrease of men or hours,
and while 1t Is not expected that such
rapid progress will be made when the
drive enters the harder formations. the
management does expect to cut the vein
in less than two months.
Surveys of the entire Mizpah estate
were completed his week. The survey
was made at this time in order to permit
the accurate mapping of the Atlanta
Fraction and of the shaft and tunne
working. Incidentally. the survey de-
termined that the mouth of the tunnel.
which goes into the hill from the south
side, is on the Atlanta Fraction.
But more important was the work of
the surveyors in connection with the
tunnel operation. This work determined
the exact elevation Of the mouth of the
shaft above the mouth of the tunnel. the
angle at which the vein is dipping to the
south and the pitch of the hill. From
this data, the engineer made a calcula-
ton showing that IL the vein goes to
1antH on tie nraoAut anglia RI degrees
south, the tunnel should cut 1t at about
140 feet. Heretofore it has been esti-
mated that the tunnel would have to be
driven 200 feet before 1t could reach the
vein.
Additional work was done this week
toward proving up the Mizpah vein. A
series of trenches was lug. opening up
the vein for more than 100 feet on either
side of the shaft. In each instance the
vein wal disclosed in the same attrac-
tive way that 1t was to Sam Watkins
whe he made the original discovery.
The -forehandedness of the Mizpah
management, and its determination to
let nothing interfere with plans for
making a mine in record time. were
demonstrated this week when President
Kennedy, of the Fairview Mizpah Min
ing sen to the camp a full
winters supply of mining materials. in

WORK ON THE
FAIRVIEW MIZPAH TUNNEL

Just prior to the annual r~ieetin, the
Aztec was carefully inspected by Engi-
neer Wuench. an eminent mining author
ity Of Denver; his report very likely
mine making. for it is announced that
new equipment will be placed imme-
diately, and every preparation made for
working the ground at great depth.
The new equipment will include an
immense pumping plant, similar to that
now employed on the Fairview Eagle.
an adjoining estate. several months ago
the Aztec encountered a heavy flow Of
water at a vertical depth of 245 feet. 1t
became necessary to discontinue all min
ing operations. and work has since been
confined to keeping the water flow below
the timbering Of the drift. Originally
the Aztec was equipped with a gasoline
hosting plant and all material and sup
plies necessary for sinking 600 feet.
Every feature Of the work so far
shows the real mine making methods,
in economy, thorough and conscientious
efforts to develop a diyidend-payer on
the Aztec. and the announcement that
the water difficulties are to be overcome
and a greater campaign in~augurated I'M
der practically the same executive re-
gime should be a guarantee to the stock
holders that their investment in the
Aztec is a meritorious one. considering
also. the unusual prospects for getting
the big sulphide ore body known to ex-
list there.
The Nest lease is ready to ship ore.
not for the purpose of booming the
property on the exchange, but for the
purpose Of putting dividend funds in the
treasury of the leasing company. And
the shipment now sacked and ready for
transportation to the shelters Is of a
grade that will accomplish that very
urpose: not a ton Of 1t will return less
than $3.50 gross when 1t Is run

precious. This is known because ex-
traordinary ~precaution has been exer-
cised in checking up the first output of
a marketable quality.

HUMBOLDT

The large body of ore opened in the
Weir lease on the New Mohawk at
Goldbank has been found to carry high
silver values. A piece of ore k from
the dump was rosted in a blacksmith
forge and was covered with beads of sill
yer when taken out. The discovery adds
greatly to the value of the property.
A three-foot vein of $40 ore was
opened in the Bodie No. 2 adjoining the
New Mohawk. last Saturday. The ore is
a black oxide and is n Of the best
strikes in the district.
r. L. Edwards. who has a number OF

ATTORNEY ON STAND

True TO his Southern blood r. Porter
Ashe could not refrain from expressing
his admiration for the gameness of
Red" Blair. one Of the union pickets
during the recent strike OF sailors on
the water front
Il don't want this to go on record"
said Ashe TO Referee Clement Bennett
yesterday. but that red-headed Irish
man, although he did not belong to the
union. was the gamest OF them all"
Ashe was testifying before the ref
cree in the contempt proceedings
against the Pacific Coast Sailors Union,
Andrew Furuseth and others He had
been telling how Red" Blair, a marine
engineer, not a member OF any OF the
defendant unions, had gone in union
picket boat to the ship Cascade and
tried TO board the vessel, but was
driven of BY the watchman, Patrick
Farley. Then Blair took revolver out
Of the launch and exchanged shots with
Farley.
blair was arrested" continued Ashe,
but was not prosecuted because Farley
had left for China. I hadn't the great
est confidence in Police Captain John
Martin at that time, so I took police
man with me. borrowed r. p.
Schwerin's automobile and arrested
Blair"
In that case" commented Harry W.
Hutton. attorney for the defendants,
''it was shown that Farley fired first"
Then that made Blair all the
gamer" exclaimed Ashe He didn't
belong 10 the union. but he was dong
union picket duty and was the gamest
man Of all"
Hutton remarked that many OF the
assaults made upon nonunion sailors
and others had been made by men not
members Of the union, but sympathizers
with them we told the sailors not to
go near those ships" he continued,
'but the slobs thought that they would
be smart and got themselves into trou-
BILE"
Ashe pointed to the fact that Buck
ley, who was convicted Of numbering
nonUnion man during the molders
strike. was not a union man. Hutton
remarked that many innocent men had
been convicted Of assaults upon nom
union men, the real culprlts having
been present in court during the trials
Ashe had been employed by the Ship
owners Association as special prosecu-
tor in these cases of attacks upon non
union men. He had memoranda of
sixty Of these cases. OF which thirty
five had been prosecuted in the police
courts and the remainder had been
dropped because the prosecuting wit
nesses could not be found One Of the
cases was that OF Charles Hansen, con-
victed Of assaulting ;. Johnson Of the
steamer Arctic, while he was making
the mOoring lines fast to the wharf
Many Of the assaulted persons were
terribly beaten
Hutton said that the beating OF Cap
tain J. c. Eagles Of the bark c. D.
Bryant was probably a case OF at
tempted robbery, as Eagles employed
union men, Otherwise. II was a mis-
take on the part Of the men who beat
him, he added.
Ashe admitted IN reply TO Hutton
that two or three OF the cases were
saloon rows and some others might
have been the usual water front fights
resulting from overindulgence in drink
