BUYING MACHINERY FOR
INDIANA MINE AT PIONEER

pany workings. VIC Tamney, one of
tne owners of the Incid2a grouni, with
some of his associates on the 29th
signed up for a lease on the Indiana,
and are starting their shaft 200 feet
from and to the west of the shaft Of
the Pioneer lease. Mr.. Tamney is one
of the pioneers of the district, and the
fact that one of the owners of the prop
erty is taking a lease on his wi prop
erty shows how the Indiana ground is
regarded.
Messrs. Nevins, Price and Halloren,
Of Goldfeld, who made such a success
in the Engineers lease in this city,
have a lease on the Indiana ground,
which is called the Engineers lease.
They have started sinking, and as they
are well financed will soon have COM
plete equipment IN the ground for
work on an extensive scale.
"The camp is certainly looking fine,
from a mining standpoint" said Mr..
Giles. "Some people think it is dull
there, and that because there is no
startling news comes from the
camp that it is now a dead one.' This
is not true, however. We don't expect
anything startling now until some of
the leasing and company shafts attain
depth, and then, look out. The camp IS
on a much botter basis than that which
is given by a boom Every body is
working, and / do not believe there is
a camp in the entire state which can
show as much development and actual
work under way as Pioneer shows to-
day. And, mind you, the camp really
only dates from the first of February

Edwin s. Giles and w. b. Millikin,
of Pioneer, have been in town during
the week purchasing machinery and
supplies for the Indiana property at
Pioneer, which property sidelines and
endlines the Bimetallic claim No. 3 of
the Pioneer Bullfrog Mining company
on the west and south. The Bimetallic
claim No. 3 is the claim upon which
the famous Pioneer lease is situated,
and it has been proven by surveys that
the great vein of ore which is being
worked in the lease cuts through the
Indiana property. The double compart-
ment shaft of the Indiana company is
now down 60 feet, cutting a formation
identical with what has been cut by
the shaft of the Pioneer lease, and
good values are already in sight. The
shaft is being sunk through a body of
rhyolite, in which there are assures OF
highly altered and silicifed rhyolite
breccia, the seams in the rock being
filed with a gummy, red tale, which is
characteristic of the formation along
Pioneer mountain. Grading for a hoist
has been completed, and Messrs. Giles
and Milnken purchased a Is horse
power Fairbanks Morse gasoline hoist,
with full equipment, which will at once
be installed on the property. The gen
tlemen are enthusiastic over the show.
ing which they have on the property,
and it is generally regarded at Pioneer
that the Indiana is one of the "big
ones'' which will be developed at
Pioneer.

JOHNNIE NINE READY TO
PRODUCE $4,000 A MONTH

News Of a constantly improving ma
ture comes with great regularity from
the Johnnie mine, controlled by A. d.
Meyers, the father" " Goldfeld, and
T. A. johnson Of Los Angeles. The out
put Of the mill during January vas
$500; $l0,O5o was produced in
February from q 1917 days run, and
the output for March will reach about
$4,000, according to the estimate Of
Mr.. johnson, who has been spending
several days in GoldHeld. When all
the kinks are Strengthened out and
the mill brought up to its full capacity,
it is expected that Zach monthly clean
up will reach $4,000.
1--WE are getting everything into
good shape now for a $4,000 output
every 30 days. said Mr.. johnson.
1--WE have more than enough ore in
sight and blocked out in the mine to
run the mill at its fullest capacity for
at least a year. For some time we
have been opening ground with nine
air drills, but we have so much ore
blocked out now that we have laid of
the development crew and are only
working enough men tor keep the mill
going from the ore now in sight.
when we took hold Of the property,
the old company was defunct and the
mine worked out to the 300 level. We
paid of the old debts, gave the old
stockholders representation by ex-
changing their old stock for the new,
we financed it on q strong basis, and
opened the mine on a large scale, sink
ing the shaft to 700 feet, and thor
oughly developing it from that level.

we took hold of it, but we have added
to it, and increased the plant until we
now have one of the finest little mines
in the country.
1.-The mill is equipped with l6 Nissen
stamps, with q guaranteed daily capae-
ity Of eighty tons. Up to date We have
not run over 20 tons a day, but expect
to have it up to nearly its full capacity,
or 100 tons, within the next month. The
adjustments of machinery which are
nearly always found necessary in a mill
have delayed things somewhat, but
those troubles are practically over with.
1.-The power plant consists of a 40
horse power gasoline hoist, aud an so
horse power engine run with crude oil;
the mill has a 1O0-borse power distillate
engine, which also runs the air com
pressor and electric lights, the air com
pressor furnishing power for the ma
chine drills.
lone shoot of ore. opened by a cross
cut ON the 700 level, is Is feet wide and
will mill SIS a ton clear across, as re-
covered on the plates. There are, of
course, some ~phenomenally high grade
spots through the ore body, but We do
not count on that in the general run.
There is another shoot in the south part
of the workings that will average $40
to SIP a ton across IL feet. The 700
level is the best yet opened in the mine,
the ore seeming to show up in the vein
with the big end down.
The mine is in charge of Carl John
son, a very capable mine manager, az
superintendent. The ore is entirely
free milling and the tailings run only
from about 40 to 20 cents a ton.

"The question is whether he shall
help maintain the party solidarity for
accomplishing its chief purposes, or
whether the departure from principle
in the bill as he regards it is so ex-
IRENE that he must in conscience
abandon the party"
And President Taft carries the chal-

streets to the Minneapolis club for
breakfast.
On arising from the table Mr.. Taft
began the real activities Of his two
days. visit in the twin cities. First
on the program was a motor car trip
through the metropolitan park system,
ending with an inspection Of Fort Smell
ing, and review Of the regular troops
stationed there. The party drove ON
to st. Paul and after luncheon at
the st. Paul Auditorium, a public re-
ception began, that lasted nearly all
the afternoon. Senators Clapp and
Nelson stood beside Mr.. Taft.
Returning to Minneapolis, the presi.
dent will be given big banquet this
evening and will make speech.
Tomorrow Mr.. Taft will attend
church in the forenoon, after which
he will be driven out to the Lafayette
club on the shore of Lake Minnetonka
for luncheon. During the afternoon
that he will spend in this retreat the
president will meet the Japanese COM
missioners representing the board of
trade of Japan, who now are on their
way east from the Pacific coast.
The president has expressed de
sire to talk with these Japanese mer-
chants and learn at first hand their
views of policies devised to foster

tween the two countries.
A distinguished party of Minneapolis
citizens has been invited to be pres.
ent at this meeting.

copenhasen's View on the discussion.


Copenhagen, Denmark.-Dr. Cook is
now on his way to New York on the
steamship Oscar II.
Interest in the Cook narrative has
been quickened among scientists by
the recent publication Of. the news
concerning the Peary expedition and
of Peary's comment as to the accom-.
plishment Of Cook. The view general
ly expressed is that Peary's story has
done much to remove the suspicious
which at first were entertained re.
garding the claims Of DR.. Cook, es.
pecially as to the speed of his journey
in the far north and observations he
made near the pole. But after thus
corroborating assertions made by
Cook, Mr.. Peary BADLY asserted that
Or. Cook had not been near the pole.
From the facts already known con-
corning the two journeys, impartial
observers have extracted the follow
ing points in the stories Of the two
explorers which they say tend to sup.
port the belief that the explorers
pierced the Arctic north the same dis
lance, which, of course, would leave
Cook the winner of the controversy.

at the feats as sportsmen, inasmuch

Rochester, Mtnn., Sept. 21.--GOvern-
or John A. Johnson who was serving
his third term as chief executive Of
Minnesota and who was democratic
candidate for president in 1908, died
at 1928 this morning, after terrible
struggle Of six days for life.
Last Monday the governor waA
brought to the hospital Of Mayo Bros.
in this city on Wednesday operated
upon for an old abdominal trouble. An
old abscess was found that had left q
f1stula In the abdomen. This was re-
moved as well as the hernia. It is
said that the operation was one Of
the most difficult ever performed by
Drs. Mayo, it requiring nearly three
hours time. 1t was an uncertain fight
against death ever since. For six days
the governor had been given only
ment. much Of which he could not ne.
tain. The prospects this morning
were that Governor johnson would en-
joy good day. His pulse was some-
what slower than 1t had been and his
temperature was not alarming. His
respiration, however, was hurried as
it had been during the night. AS the
day progressed and the critical five
days period, IL o'clock q M, APP

The respiration was very hurried. 1t
was stated that his mind was just as

stated that the governor had grown
weaker during the preceding half hour
and chances were all against him. At
this time salines and camphorated Oil
were injected. At $3.50 o'clock Mrs.
Johnson sent the following message to
newspaper men: "Tell all the gov

When Drs. Mayo came out of the gov
