WATER DELAYS THE STAR WORK

The miners at the Star property
near Mullan are experiencing con-
siderable trouble and hindrance from
the unusual flow of water encounter
ed in the vein on which development
work is being done. The large
amount of water draining out of the
vein. is remarkable on account of
the development being done we'll up
on the hill. The depth is about 500
feet.
The drift on the ore body has pro-
ceeded over 800 feet and there is
still plenty of ore in sight Not
much advancement was made during
the present month owing to the
trouble with the water.

extension contract will be let.
Already tunnel over 400 feet long
has been driven. This gives depth
of 323 feet. The annual assessment
work has been completed and the con-
tract to be let will be additional. The

MINE MAKERS ARE ACTIVE
Work of the Association is Now Assum-
ing Definite Shape

There is only one vacancy on the
board of the Occur d'Alene Mine
Makers association. The seats from
Burke and Mace were filled at the
meeting Monday night by the selec-
ton of Fred Richardson and r. B.
Hoffman respectively. The director
from Murray will be chosen Monday
night and then the board will be
complete.
For the purpose of economy, it
was decided to retain the present
temporary quarters during the
month of May. Later the equipment
of permanent headquarters will be
acted on.
The matter of permanent ore ex
hibit is receiving the attention OF
all directors and every property in
each district will be urged to con-
tribute. Samples should be for
warded at once to Secretary Chilcote
so tnat the dispaly may be in shape
by the date of the state convention
here, May 12
A blank form was adopted which
will be sent to all the mine owners in
the district to furnish complete in
formation relative to- their proper
ties. These forms are to be filed
in the office OF the secretary for his
information in answering inquiries
and in the preparation of book.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-04-30

The proposed book will give the OBJ
ject of the association, general in
formation about the producing mines
of the district. Illustrations of the
district and some of the dividend
paying companies, tell of the bank
ing and transportation facilities and
of the hotels and business houses 1t
will also commend the district to
the pleasure and health seeker,
dwell upon our fine climate during
the latter part of the summer and
autumn and of the fine hunting and
fishing.
1t was decided to start advertis-
ing at once using some of the ma
tional weeklies and the daily and
Sunday papers in the east. The as
sociation is assured that the finan-
cial question will be met, for there
has been large increase in member
ship and the business men of the
district are responding literally, the
first subscription received being
800.
During the week Wesley Everett
and o. B. Wallace will spend some
time in canvassing Wallace, and Sec
retary Chilcote will spend Friday in
Kellogg with Director Harvey Ross
and Saturday In Wardner with Di-
rector ]. l.. Stafford. A visit will be
made to Murray next week.

1 400 feet from the tunnel portal.
A force Of three men is employed
and work will be continued on the
most economical scale until proceeds
from the sale of treasury stock are
sufficient to warrant an increased
expense. There are approximately
$4,000 shares in the treasury. Only
ten days ago an assessment OF two
mills was levied for the purpose of
continuing development.
The property of the company is
located at Burke, on the opposite
side of the hill to the Hecla and the
Poorman and the lead which has
been struck is supposed to be the
Poorman. Norman Ebbley, c. w.
Gibbs, E. O. Herring and A. H.

EUREKA PLANS EARLY START
Directors Met This Week and Discussed
the Affairs

Directors of the Eureka met here
Monday night and decided to start
work as oon as possible drifting or
the lead that has been exposed. The
property is in charge of A. d. Mar
shall. formerly superintendent of the
Standard and Pittsburg mines.
A crosscut tunnel has been run
on the property for S22 feet cut
ting through two lodges. Except
three sets of timbers at the portal
there is no timbering in the entire
length of the tunnel. The first ledge
was cut when in 80 feet and at a
depth of 140 feet. A drift was run
south for % feet when at that time
the work was stopped for the winter.
! When the first lead was cut it was
one foot wide but in the little de-
velopment done it widened out to
seven feet Assays of ore taken from
this drift showed values of about 81
a ton.
The second lead was cut when in
$50 feet but it was not drifted on
at the time as the owners were anX-
ious to reach the main ledge sought.
The water draining from this lead
has been furnishing the power for
running the fan for the past two
years.
when the men stopped driving the
crosscut tunnel the face was looking
fine" said Sol Cohen, secretary of the
company. "The whole tunnel appear
ed to be quartzite and manganese of
iron. The last 400 feet we ran
through birdseye porphyry the whole
way. The main lead we are seeking
is the same as the Pittsburg lead. 1t
dips away from us so that we have
not got it as soon as expected. A
depth of 400 feet will be reached
when we strike this ledge. we think.
"The groupings are excellent, con-
sisting of quartzite and heavy iron
Gaping
AS to equipment, the property
has many facilities. The portal of
the tunnel is only 400 feet away
from the o. r. & N. branch line.
Electric power is right on the
ground. A 2550-foot flume grade
has been made and we have a water
right. The property consists of five
claims. In the tunnel the first few
feet was laid with light rails, but |
me rest of the way 12-pound rails
have been used"
A. d. Marshall, Sol Cohen, D. w.
Michaels, r. c. Halliday and Carson
Morrow are directors.

Trim Vessel Slips From the Ways Amid Cheers
of Spectators and WhistIed Salutes From
All the Harbor Shipping.

+ To the right of the yacht, tied up
at one of the naval wharves, was the
ship John Ena, recently arrived from
! Norfolk, Va. Aboard her were many
spectators The harbor in the imme-
diate vicinity of the launching ways
was dotted with small craft; indeed,
! everything that would float seemed to
have been requisitioned for the occa-
sion.
The yacht herself was gaily dec
Grated with flags, among which the
American and Hawaiian emblems We're
particularly prominent. A lei Of golden
lima and fragrant maile encircled the
end of the bowsprit. The bottle of
Moet & Chandon was suspended y
yellow ribbon tied to the bottle, with
red, white and blue ribbons and Ha-
waiian flag hung directly over the
christening wine.
Shortly before s p. IN. a report cir
culated that c. NJ. Cooke had sent a
message TO the builders offering to
contribute $3.50 to the yacht fund pro-
vided the ceremony was delayed until
his arrival which he said would be in
ten minutes. Promptly on time he ar
rived and the fund viii accordingly
be $3.50 the richer for the incident of
the delay.
At six O'Clock there were on the
yacht c. T. Wilder, H. A. Wilder, two
members of the crew and three press
representatives. The ladder was then
removed and Governor and Mrs. Frear, /
Commodore H. E. Cooper. Professor
Grifhths, Mrs. Belts and Miss Mary ka.- /
III Wilcox mounted the platform from
which the christening was to take |
place. Mrs. Bettis and Prof. Grifhths I
were present at the request of the pa /
rents of Miss Wilcox, to escort her.
Ladies and gentlemen said Com (

Hip, hip, hooray!"

Hip, hip, hooray!"
The cheer that rang out when the
yacht Hawaii slid down the launch
ing ways and entered the water yes
terday afternoon was a hearty one. 1t
was a sound of enthusiasm and had
the proper ring. It showed that here
in Honolulu there are a thousand souls
who glory in a good boat, III sport for
sports sake, and who will take a per-
sonal interest in the fortunes of the
trim little cup-racer now safely
launched.
And after that first cheer there were
others just as hearty; in fact, the
crowd cheered itself hoarse.
1t was a gay scene at the launching.
The yard of Sorenson & Lyle was fill
ed with people of all classes and ma
tionalities. the fair sex being out in
unexpected force. Here a sugar mag
nate rubbed shoulders with long
shoreman who had brought his family
to see the yacht take her first dip;
there a prominent lawyer exchanged
notes on the sailing possibilities of the
Territorial craft with one of the crew
of an island steamer, his dungarees
dirty with the days toll. And men,
women and children ehatted and gos-
sfped about the shining hull which
loomed up, a veritable thing of beauty, |
among the weatherworn lumber and
debris of the yard, and one and all
wished her we'll
The crowd began to gather shortly /
after p. m. and three-quarters of an
hour later the car was still jammed |
with sightseers The county band was

The steamer Mauna Loa was on the
marine railway and the platform be-
heath her was a much-sought-after

DELEGATE KINNEY;
MAYOR IAUkEA
This Is What Democrats win
Try to Bring About Other
Possibilities.
Advertiser Photo.

The hope of great many Democrats
is that when their ticket is presented
to the voters this fall they will have
W. A. Kinney heading the Territorial
ticket as their candidate for Delegate
to Congress, and Curtis p. Iaukea
heading the county ticket as their
candidate for Mayor. Many promi-
nent Democrats are anxious to see this
and 1t is understood that Iaukea
stands ready to run if the nomination
can be secured fol him, while Kin
ney is seriously considering accepting
the nomination for Delegate. With
these two will be Charles H. Rose, for
Auditor; r. H. Trent, for Treasurer,
and very probably VIM. P Jarrett, for
Sheriff
Sheriff Iaukea was chary in discuss
ing his possible candidature yesterday.
He was apparently quite hopeful that
w. A. Kinney might be induced to run
at the head of the ticket. however.
What l want to see,' he said, dis
cussing the mayoralty question, lis
some good, hard-headed business man
elected Mayor. Someone who has been
in business for himself and shown his
fitness to be at the head of a business,
for, after all, running a city properly
is on the same principle as conducting
a big business.
''If such a man were nominated by
the Republicans. or could be got by
the Democrats 1 would not think of
running. But if a. man like Jone Lane,
Charley Hustace or Achi were put up
would try for my partys nomina-
ti0n and consider it my duty to run If
the nomination were offered me. / do
not consider that any one of those men
has the qualifications to make good
Mayor"
Just how the talk of Kinney for Del
egate affects L. L. McCandless' faith
in Democracy is not known.

THE SAKE: DECISION
COMING ON MONDAY

The sake decision is expected to be
handed down on Monday by the Cir
cult Court of Appeals in California.
If the Government is again defeated
it is ready, so we are told, to settle
with the Honolulu litigants on a beer
basis That will mean the sum of
$4,000 to be mostly distributed here,
In case the local people should refuse
to settle on that basis, the Government
will carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

Japanese Manufacturer Host
at Elaborate Japanese
Function.

When the japanese entertain in af-
fairs at which a number of the guests
are from among the white population,
such as the functions of the Mochi-
:. zuki club and like places, they do it
we'll. The banquet given in honor of
the opening of the Hawaiian Maearoni
Manufacturing Company last night, at
which three hundred guests attended,
was no exception to this rule. On the
other hand it was probably the most
elaborate affair of its kind ever given
in the city.
The banquet was given in the new
building of the company on Beretania
avenue, practically every prominent
Japanese and Chinese merchant of the
! city being present as well as many
prominent whites. The place was dec
GRATED in Japanese style, in the en-
trance hall being a typical japanese
landscape worked out in -four bags, coll
ored shreds of vermicelli, green's and
flowers. the effect being charming. In

flags were hung and floral decorations

and geisha girls performed during the

the courses at the banquet Manager
K. Yamamoto welcomed his many
guests in a happy speech, delivered
first in Japanese and then in English,
speaking as follows:
''I thank you for your kind presence
this evening. L think it is proper FIR
me to. say few words of explanation
why I took this occasion to gather my
friends here this evening. Japane-e
vermicelli is imported from Japan, al
though its material is an American pro-
duction. The wheat of California is
transshiped several thousands of miles
across the sea and the land and before
it is turned into Japanese vermicelli. |
This staple japanese food is reshipped
from Japan before it reaches the local |
consumers, adding to its cost double |
duty beside the freight. I wish to tell |
you, gentlemen, that this factory is in !
tended to curtail all such unnecessary |
expenses in it's production and supply I
the local consumers with cheaper and |
fresh goods.
II am confident that when our prod
uct finds its way to every japanese
table in the Islands it means a new
industry to the Territory and a source
Of local wealth. Gentlemen, 1 am con-
fdent that all my business friends
would extend their helping hands in
fostering this baby industry. I know
hat you all believe in patronizing the
ocal industry. I thank you again for
your attention and hope you would join
n the .merriment for the launching Of
/ new industry

Who spoke in Japanese. and by Alex
