PIONEER MINERAL ZONE
EXTENDED BY NEW STRIKE

California, is in Pioneer as a represent
alive of the Bullfrog Mohawk Mining
company, to inspect its properties. This
company owns a group of seven claims
within two miles of Pioneer. j. IL.
Thomas is the superintendent. Active
development has been going on since
last December. Considerable work has
been done, u%ncovering four feet of ore
that assays from $14 to 1928 per ton.
Such depth has been acquired that a
hoist is now Imperative, and will soon
be forthcoming. When the hoist is in
operation the mine can begin shipping
high grade ore, with every assurance
that shipments will continue until the
company's plans for a mill materalize.
Free Gold on Jolly Jane.
Specimens of the rock from the 95-
foot level of the shaft of the jolly
Jane Mining & Leasing company at
Pioneer, nave been received at this of
fee, and show patches of free gold to
the naked eye. The rock is a porphy-
rite quartz, and is of great promise, as
well as good value at present.
Manager Spencer of the lease writes
that what seems to be the apex of an
other vein is now splitting the little
seam which has been followed down by
the shaft, and that both the quartz and
the red tale which fills the stratifca-
tons SEAM shows big, strong paintings
All advices from Pioneer seem to indi-
cate that the jolly Jane has the best
showing TO date of any shaft in the
district and that it will soon be in the
shipping class.

are in Shoshone canyon are ideally
located for milling facilities. There
is an abundance of water and 1T is
more than likely that the Nevada-Cali-

"The new mill in Jefferson canyon,

and will doubtless be in operation by
the first of June. Superintendent Nc

is opening up a new ore body which
he encountered about a month ago
while running a tunnel to connect two
existing lodges and this new ledge is

that in this mine lies the making OF

mining men who have visited the dis
triet that the oddie lease will prove to
be equal to any in the district.
The lie Grand company, operating
on the Mountain King and Queen
property, has started a Wine in its
tunnel workings and is now down 20

the showing for the amount of work
accomplished is an excellent one. ON
account of one wall being defective,
timbering has held back the work of
developing considerably. This, how
ever, is being rapidly overcome from
now on. The control of this property
has recently been purchased by l.. s.
Highley, Joe Hutchinson, George HolIer-
an, of Gold6eld, and a cotcrie Of Salt
Lake capitalists, for a remarkable
figure. A large power hoist will be in
stalled Immediately and a working
shaft will be sunk to a great depth.
A new ledge was opened up on the
Silver Eagle property, owned by the
LIE Grand company, located just above
the McAfee, that gives promise to be-
come one of the best yet encountered.

Adviees received last night from
Phoenix, Ariz., regarding the outcome
of the annual meeting of the Vulture
Mining company, are of a conflicting
nature, and indicate that there was the
hottest kind of a fight between the
Weber and opposing factions for con
troll of the company.
One dispatch states that the meeting
was adjourned until June Is without
definite result, while other advices state
that the chairman of the meeting de-
elared an adjournment, but the stock
holders opposing Weber continued in
session and elected their board of di-
rectors.
1t will take further information to
definitely settle just what really did oc-
eur, and as to who has been victorious,
but it now looks as though Weber had
failed to control the meeting.
The first reports given to The News
made it appear that the Weber faction
had won out and elected it's own board
of directors, whereas later advices state
that the Manning Hooper faction were
In control of the stock and proxies rep
resented and elected a board of direc'
tors of their own choosing. A telegram
/ received here states that when Weber
found that the Hooper-M Manning faction
had a majority he moved an adjourn
ment and the meeting was declared ad
burned against the protest of the ma
Jority stockholders, who continued ii
session despite the action of the chair
man and elected a board of directors.

The late strike on the Savage

the prospective value of the latter.

that he is putting the finishing touches

erty located at Pioneer. just now it
is impossible to state the particulars
but it can be announced that it is one
of very great Importance to Pioneer
and the Bullfrog district. 1t means
that another source of capital is being
opened up for the development OF
meritorious prospects; it means tho
employment of more men, the uncover
ing of more ore bodies.

King claim of the Lucky Boy group
The shaft is down about $40 feet. and
the ore is getting richer, while main.
tanning its width of from three to four
feet of solid mineral. At this depth
the lead is gradually disappearing and
being replaced with tetrahedrite or
"black metal" which carries the high
values in silver. An average output
of 100 tons a day is being shipped, and
more could be sent out if teams could
be secured to haul it to the railroad.
The lease has produced about $780, 900
up to date, and will produce as much
or more than this between now and
the date for expiration in August.
Collins Lease in Ore.
Three shifts of miners continue to
send the shaft on the Collins lease ON
block 5 of the Lucky Boy estate into
mother earth. The shaft is being
sunk ON the ledge, which i~nclines
about 80 degrees. At the present
time it is 10 feet deep. Good ore
is being raised to the surface daily
that would justify the owners to ship,
but they intend to get greater depth
before shipping is resorted to. A
large 25-horse power gasoline engine
was installed last month that has
helped to quicken the pace Of send
ing down the shaft. When the 200
level is reached drifting will begin
on the vein and the ore body opened
up in order that slopes can be started
and the cost of breaking the ore re
duced. The tunnel that is used by
the Hubbard company to tram their
ore from their shaft to the ~sorters,
is directly under the Collins ground
for a distance of 235 feet.
Louis Roster is experimenting the
workings of both the Collins and
Mitchell Fairfield properties.
Mitchell Rushing Work.
The Mitchell Fairfield shaft ON
blocks / and 5 of the Lucky Boy
group, adjoining the Mountain King,
has attained a depth of $50 feet. 1t
will be continued on until the 200
foot mark is reached before any lat
eral work is started. The large 20
horse power hoist recently erected is
taxed to its utmost capacity, as three
shifts are regularly employed in the
development of this promising prop
erty. After the 200-foot level is
reached it is the intention Of the com
pany to cut stations every fifty feet
thereafter until the 1000-foot level is
reached. Good ore is now in the shaft,
but the management states that 1t will
not attempt to ship until a large ton
mage is blocked out. The shaft is on
an incline of 20 degrees and the bucket
now in use will be replaced by a skip
within the next few weeks. This prop
erty is considered one of the best in
the district and will make one of the
best producers.

Increased Cost

Everyone knows that during the last Is years the cost of
living has greatly increased A street railway experiences the
same effect as an individual in its expenses, due to the advanced
prices of necessities. A corporation does not consume
groceries and clothing, it is true, but its employees do, and a
street railway uses great quantities of steel, iron, timber, copper
and coal
Since 1902 the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway
Company has been practically rebuilt, and equipped with new
central power station, new general repair and car shops, new car
houses, new and larger cars, new and heavier rails and roadway,
and new electrical distributing systems. The first electric
lines of the early zoos have disappeared. Besides this many
miles of new lines and extensions have been constructed.
All of the work has been done with first class materials,
purchased at the high prices of the period, and with labor con-
stantly and justly demanding higher wages-and receiving
them.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-25

These prices no not truly represent the average increase
in copper, which fuctuates greatly. The general tendency
during the last ten years has been much higher and in 1907 the
price rose to 20 cents.
1t must be apparent to every one that it costs more to
maintain the track and roadway of today than it did to main
tain the early track and roadway, and also that t costs more to
maintain the heavy modern cars in operation today, with their
airbrakes, hot water heating plants and other accessories, than
it did to maintain the small sigle truck cars in use when cleo
trio operation was commenced.
The heaviest single item of street railway operation is the

The maximum wage has been used in this table because
the loss of early records has made it impossible to compute the
average wage paid trainmen prior to 1890. In the days of
horse car operation, drivers began at a daily wage of $1.25 and
gradually worked up to $1.75, and later 50. They worked

wage account. In 1908 this Company paid out nearly three
quarters of million dollars in wages and salaries. Of this
amount $429,56 E was paid to mortormen and conductors,
representing an increase of 81 per cent in this item over the
year before.
The following table shows how the maximum hourly
wages paid trainmen has more than doubled within IS years.
1t shows a progressive increase and it is significant that three
out of six advances have been made within the last half dozen
years:
1875 : - - cents per hour 1902 % cents per hour
1881 IA IT cents per hour 1906 : Is cents per hour
1870 ~ cents per hour 1907 26 cents per hour
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-25

from IA to 10 hours a day, but in
calculating their hourly wage in order
to make a uniform basis of compari-
son IA hours a day has been used.
From the time of identification
until 1902. "a flat hourly wage of 20
cents was paid and the hours per day
reduced to an average Of 10 for each
man, this being the rule today.
Since 1875 there have been no
reductions in the pay of trainmen.
The Horse Railway started paying
81 a day, but it was found necessary
to reduce this scale materially in the
early 7Os. By 1875 the rate had adj
vanced to $1.75, maximum.
