MILL AT DUN GLEN TO
RUN ON CHAFEY MINE ORE

C. A. Baldwin. who came In from Dun
Glen Yesterday, states that when he left
camp arrangements were being made to
haul the first load of ore from the
Chafey mine to the mill, which is all
completed and ready for the crushing of
rock. says the Humboldt Star.
The-ore is being sorted and only the
very high-grade material is being shipped.
The remainder will be run through the
mill The teams that are hauling ore to
Mill City return with the wagons loaded
with coal for the mill. In few days the
stamps will commence dropping and the
old camp will be again among the bullion
producers.
The main tunnel on the Chafey prop
erty has followed the rich pay shoot for
seventy-five feet and the face shows five
feet of ore The force of miners has been
Increased and yesterday a shaft was
started to further develop the property.

Ready to Run.

The most complete and lucid statement
that has ever been made concerning the
Groux Consolidated properties at NEly is
just given out by President Joseph l..

inspection 10 the camp. The 50o-ton con-
centrating mill. he says. has been COM
pleted 1t a cost OF SlJU,000. and, pending
the day that il is placed in commission,
the working force at the mine has been
reduced TO sixty-five men. The main work
IN hand at the present time is the sink
ing OF the Alpha shaft, which is now down
10 the l,l45-foot mark. 1t Is expected
that water Will be encountered In guam
tity at about the l.200-foot level. Enough
water is making now. Mr.. Giroux re-
ports. to run the mill at about half ca
pacity. but II is not considered good
economy to run it that way. 1t is hoped
10 soon have water enough in the shaft
10 keep 1t running full time.
IL the water level should be deeper than
is now supposed. the company will be
forced to bring water from the Steptoe
farm, twelve miles away. but IL is hoped
that the expense will be avoided by the
Alpha developments. 1t would be neces-
sary 10 raise the water from Steptoe 800

Big Bodies of Rich Ore.

The surface showed an immense body
of leached material and the shaft went
through soft sand for the first 625 feet.
At that point iron oxides began TO ap-
pear, and at the 1.0O0-foot level cross
cut was run 400 feet 10 the north and
another 10 feet TO the south, botn IN
oxidiZed ore. At the sixty-foot mark In
the north cross-cut the top OF SOLID
oxidiZed ore body was cut. showing val
ues of 10 per cent. and on this winze
was sunk fifty feet in ore thar aver
aged IL per cent. At the 13O-foot marx
of the same cross-cut another ore body
was cut. and this proved to be twenty
feet wide, with an average OF about 10
per cent. Six carloads of material shipped
just as II was mined gave smelter returns
of over l. per cent.
At the i.OOo-foot level a diamond drill
hole was put down 100 feet, and at that
point struck another ore body, and II is
to develop this find that the main smart
is now being sunk. AT the time or the
cave-in, 100 feet of drill rod was lost.
and the management has not been able
to determine whether the sulphide zone
had been reached. The shaft Is now, now
ever, within fifteen or twenty feet or the
bottom of the drill hole, and the rod has
been removed as the work progressed
President Giroux believes that in any
event the water level will be reached near
the 200. and therefore prefers TO let the
concentration remain idle until that point
has been reached and his theory proved
ter level on the other side of the noun
tain in the other shafts has been en-
countered at the 125-foot level.
Has SmeIter, Also.
The cotton blast furnace smelter of the
company has also been completed, and
will be blown IL as soon as the concen-
traitor starts up. 1t has cost about $io,Oo,
and Is complete in every way. Keystone
drills are being used to prospect the I'M
explored portion of the quartZ-porphyry
dixie east of the main workings. When
water has been developed and the mines
and plant are running full handed 1t Is
expected that a force of between 400 and
500 men will find employment
Asked as to the probable cost OF manu-
featuring copper, President Giroux SAID
that their estimates on cost from the
quartz porphyry low grade ore run from
cents to cents. These estimates do
not take into account the high grade ore
from the Alpha shaft. and it is probable
that the cost would be reduced cents II
these ore bodies develop in the way that
present indications point to. The disas-
ter of last winter upse the plans OF the
management to a great extent. but every
thing is now running smoothly, and the
actual manufacture of copper only awaits
development of a sufficiently large flow
of water to operate the plant full time.

Contract Initiated by Local Option Law

Judge Miner decided in the circuit
court, Tuesday, that Mueller Bros. of
this city, could not be held on five year
lease made for building in Alma be-
cause the working of tho local option
law had made it impossible for Mueller
Bros. and their tenant to continue to
conduct the business for which the
building was rented The owners of
the building had also agreed to furnish
bondsmen for the saloon business to be
conducted and Walsh & Pardee, Muel-
Ter Bros. attorneys, claimed that this
was also illegal and weakened the con-
tract. The rent was ordered paid up to
the time the law went into effect. The
case will probably be taken to the SUI
preme court for final decision as many
others are pending.

In the discussion of the postal
savings bill in the senate, Senator
VIM. Alden Smith made clear the
fact that he would oppose the bill
unless it was so changed as to in
clude state banks as repositories for
funds deposited at the postoffices
throughout the country. The bill
now before congress would require
this money to be deposited in nation
al banks only, thus giving the bank
at Durand-the only one in the
county a monopoly of the business.
Senator Smiths position is right and
it is to be hoped he can secure an
amendment to the bill to the end sug-
gested. In his remarks he said:
Take, for instance a postoffice in
a community where there is no ma
tional bank 1t would seem little
unfortunate if the deposits should be
made in the postoffice and then taken
away from that community entirey
because of the absence of national
bank, whereas state bank there
might be equally secure.
''Take it in the state of Michigan,
for instance. The state banks are
under an examination as thorough
and effective and as complete as that
of national banks.
81 hope there may be some provi-
sion attached to this bill which will
not discriminate unfairly and I'M
justly against the state organizations
that are under proper control. If it
is possible under the constitution and
under the limitations consonant with
safe banking, I want them put upon
a fair basis with reference to those
deposits.
81 can conceive of and l know of
communities in my own state where
there is not single national bank.
| dislike to think that farmers and
laborers and travellers will deposit
their money in postofIices in such a
community and have it carted away
a great distance to be deposited in
a national bank"
