reached at about 50 feet from the
surface and the limestone upon
which it rests at about so feet.
Only the upper Is to 20 feet OF
this ground has been worked,
though at the time the mine was
5isited lower stope 10 or - feet
| in heigl;th was being taken up
from the pump shaft.
In this mine, as generally in
| the district. there is at the top OF
the blanket ground ? or 3 feet OF
soft ground, containing more or
less black shale and yellow clay.
Locally solution has progressed
so far that slabs only of lime
stone and ebert occur in the clay
and slale. There is as a rule
more or less spar and tiff in veins
and pockets, and here and there a
little bitumcn. Much of the
shale is slickensided. This zone
is apparently not one of general
movement, but one OF accommo-
dation to the light stresses re-
sulting from underground solu-
ton and the weight of the super
incumbent strata. 1t seems like
ly that the opening at the top OF
the blanket breccia, into which
the clay and shale have been
drawn, was largely a result OF
the settling of the ebert beds
when the interbedden limestone
was dissolved. The fact that
the roof did not settle into this
space would be explained If the
solution in the blanket ebert
went on by areas, portions re-
naming to support the roof until
after the portions first dissolved
and fractured had been recement-
ed by jasperoid and rendered Ca
pable of sustaining the roof.
This upper. softer sheet in many
places is richer in ore than the
harder ground below, but on the
other hand it is here and there
entirely barren.
Below the soft ground the
blanket breccia consists of great
ly fractured live" blue flint,
which in the more unbroken por-
tions shows small dark spots, an
eighth to a fourth of. an inch in
diameter, surrounded by a light
err border. AT many points the
qualification of the ebert is OBJ
scured by the brecciation, bat In
general it can be made out either
from the ebert or from the jas
peroid sheets between the broken
ebert beds.
The brecciation of the ebert
lodges is uneven. In places the
whole ledge is broken up; else
where it is broken into big boul-
ders with finer brecciation be-

NEWS FROM
The MINES.

The Lincolnville is steadily
producing some very good zinc
ore, from a hand jig plant which
it has installed.
The Mascotte on the Red Eagle
land, has installed new pump,
and is now drifting in good ore,
at the SO-foot level.
Two cars of zinc ore and one
car TO lead ore are in the bins at
the Mission mine, where the mill
is turning out 5 to 6 tons per day
of concentrates.
The Lancaster mill is turning
out 8 to 10 tons of zinc ore per
shift. The ore at this property
is very rich and there seems to be
no limit to the amount in sight.
Joining the Lancaster to the
west is the Three Queens so
called. after three Oklahoma la
dies, who originally leased this
tract, where a good lead prospect
is being worked on hand jigs.
The Myrtle has started up its
mill and the new development has
uncovered the main ore body,
which gives a rich face of ore
eighteen feet thick. Two cars
of high grade ore are now in the
bins ready for shipment.
The Newlands mill is to be put
into operation the first of the
month. This property has been
out of commission since last fall,
while its ore showing is such that
it could have been kept producing
to advantage, as it has an ex-
ceptionally rich bed to work.
Sunburst shaft no. ? is dump
ing about 80 tons per day of good
ore. The present working is be-
ing pushed to the southeast in
the direction of the Good Luck,
where the formation is becoming
more open, indicating the break
ing into the same ore bed as that.
which the Good Luck is now de-
veloping.
The record made last week by
the Hobo mine, showing a saving
of over 20 per cent from the ore
milled at the Omaha mill, has at
tracted a great deal of attention
to this part of the camp. 1t is
rumored, that a combination is
under way to take in several prop.

Grating expenses, and insuring a

A new derrick and ore chute
have been erected at the Luther,
south of the Omaha mill. which
gives the property additional
room to dump its ore. The ur.
foreground development at this
mine, has proven up the drillings
and the drifts in all directions
from shaft no. l are showing up
excellent ore. As soon as suffi-
Gent ground can be opened up to
keep a mill gong steadily, one
will be installed on this property.
John Rice is drilling on the
Duluth Lead and Zinc Compa-
ny's lease south of Cuapaw sta

| to be opened up on the Duluth
Lead and Zinc Company's lease,
as is now making the Miami
camp so attractive. Much quiet
work has been going on, by the
best informed mining men in the
district, securing leases in this
locality.
J. C. Bryner has gone through
three feet of the ore bed in sink
ing shaft No. 4 on the Big
Eighty" lease of the Sunburst.
The ore is very rich, and is found
in a soft formation where very
little if any powder would be re-
quired to mine it. This cores
ponds very closely to the ore and
formation found in the Newland
lease, which joins it to the south
east.
Over at the Old Tannehill shaft
a hand jig plant is working on
the ore being taken from the
west workings, which are show.
ing up to good advantage. This
lease showed. during former days,
very rich zinc ore in a sandstone
formation, and this same forma-
ton seems to predominant in the
present drifts.
The Heap-O'Brien is still sink
ing in its shaft; at the same time
drifting is being done, prepare.
tory to the installation of a mill
for cleaning the ore. Only few
feet remains to be sunk, until the
ore bed will have been penetrated,
which shows the thickness of the
workable deposit to be twenty
eight feet.
After several years of litigation
the Quivera Lead and Zinc Com
pany property is to be put into
operation, which is certainly wei.

run but a very short time after
the mill was installed. The prop
erty has a splendid showing in

Quite extensive experiments
are being carried on at the White
Eagle mill, of the Eastman Co.
on the Abrams land to demon
strate the most successful method
of fine disseminated zinc ore,
which is so thoroughly diffused

Many varying opinions have
been held and much has been
written, particularly about the
formations which prevail in the
Baxter-Q uapaw and Miami Lead
and Zinc Districts, as to what
the formation should be styled or
called After a very extensive
examination and inspection by Mr.

"A basal breccia was formed
where the later shale formations
were deposited upon and in the
residum which mantled the sur
face and in part filled the caverns
of the limestone land that was
subject to underground Solutions;
such breccias, also called mixed
or confused ground, are the loci
of ore deposits il many places.
Locally a ebert member of the
Boone. with thin interstratified
limestone strata, was finely shat
tered by warping or other tension
the more elastic limestone escap-
ing brecciation. On being rece-
mented in place this rock formed
a sheet breccia. When the lime
stone was replaced later by ore
and ore-bearing jasperoid, it be-
came sheet ground. Though
important in the Joplin district,
sheet ground was apparently not
extensively developed in this area.
when the imbedded limestone
in such a series was dissolved,
not replaced. it allowed the ebert
to settle irregularly, resulting in
strong brecciation, in many places
completely obscuring the bedding.
Shale may have been carried into
the openings or they may have
been filled with ore or jasperoid.
A horizontal tabular body of brec-
cia, which differs in origin and in
form from sheet breccias, was
thus developed. Such a forma-
ton may be called n blanket brec-
cha. " 'f
THE lead and zinc ore in the
Baxter-Q uapaw District is gener-
ally found in a breccia of this
kind. In distinction from the
sheet ground deposits in the sheet
breccias, the xter-Quapaw ore
bodies in the blanket breccias may
be called blanket ground.
"The ore deposits of lead and
zinc, within the Wyandotte Quad
rangle are found mainly in the
Boone formation, but also to
considerable extent in sandstone
breccias in the Chester, particu-
larry in the new Miami district.
Blanket breccias, with blanket
ground deposits, are the main
source of ore, being especially
we'll displayed in the Baxter.Qua-
paw district.
In the Miami Camp he says,
"The surface formation is Cher
okee shale, below which are sand
stone and limestone of Chester
age, resting upon the Boone ebert
and limestone. In certain areas
the limestone of the Chester group
has been carried away by solu-
ton, allowing the sandstone to
settle down upon the Boone. In
this settling the sandstone was
more or less fractured and broken.
The ore was first discovered in
this sandstone breccia, though in
some recent drillings it has been
found to continue down into the

That was just before my birth, and I suppose that the future president was often in the sight and in the minds of my parents" Phy- sical appearance is not the entire eX- tent of the resemblance between MT. Smyser and Lincoln. The early life of both were similar. MT. Smyser was born of poor parents. His childhood home was on a farm in Illinois. After an incomplete education he taught a district school, studying law at odd moments. He finally devoted himself to the legal profession, and came to Los Angeles two years ago.

So Believes 1t Will Win Out
Eventually in Trac-
ton Fight.
COMPANY HAS ALTERNATIVE
If 1T BE ENJOINED FROM TWEN-
TY-THIRD STREET, LINE CAN
USE TWENTY-sEcoNp AND BE
ASSURED OF PEACE.

I'VE have the public, the council and
the traction company on our side in
our fight to prevent the freight line be-
ing run through the Glen. Council at
its last meeting suspended the enforce
ment of the ordinance which prohibits
the operation of freight cars on Main
street This ordinance is suspended
for period of ninety days. 1t is no
secret that council will keep on sus-
pending this operation until the pres
ent board goes out of office, providing
the board continues to stand pat on
the Twenty-third street line. l don't
think line will ever be built through
the Glen and l predict that freight cars
will be operated on Main street for
some time to come"
The above statement was made to-
day by c. B. Hunt, one of the citizens
lookout committee, appointed at the re-
cent mass meeting to assume charge
of the campaign of driving the trac-
tion line out of the Glen.
This committee has employed Attor-
neys A. NJ Gardner and Wilfred Jessup
to bring injunction proceedings against
the traction company and the city to
compel the removal of the freight line
from the park. The suit will either
be filed late this afternoon or some
time tomorrow City Attorney T. J.
Study is confident that the petitioners
can cite no cause to justify the court
in acting favorably on the injunction
! Providing the court does enjoin the
company from placing line on Twen-
! ty-third street, the traction company
| has, under the terms of it's franchise
! the right to place its line on North
Twenty second street, which borders
! the park on the west.
While the petitioners vigorously
condemn the board for standing pat or
the Glen line they suggest no remedy
to the board for the alleged evil. Mr.
Hunt admitted this morning that his
committee could not guarantee the
board there would be no objections
raised in the event the line was remov
ed from the park and placed else
where.
