MINING NEWS of

ROCK CREEK DIST.

Dan McD maid, owner of the
Crown Mine in Crystal basin, re-
.urned from trip to the basin. last
week and while there, took occasio u
to visit and inspect the recent tstrik Z
of high grade in the Dcpont Tun-
mel. He expressed him ,elf as be ing
much surprised at the sh owing seen
there, respecting the quantity and
qu.lity OF ore already exposed in
the tunnel. The drift had been
driven some twelve feet OF more
on the vein, since the contract
WAS cut and the rich ore enoUuAt-
cred, while the foot wall has not as
yet been reached. The vein or min
erallized ore zone. dips with the for.
nation at an angle Of thirty degrees
rom a perpendicular, showing n
thickness of the vein cut thus for
to be about nine feet, the greater
portion Of which is ore bearing. The
high grade streak Of ore rests upon
the hanging wall and is foot to
eighteen inch IS thick, much of
which carries shipping values of
ore that will assay one hundred or
more ounces OF silver per ton, while
there is remaining in the vein next
this high grade, three feet and up
wards, of good milling ore. Mr. Nc
Donald has had years of experiance
in prospecting and practicle opera
tions of mines of all description
and is considered confident l.erso n
to pass judgement upon this or any
other mining proposition he may
examine. The high grade ore was
thought to be either grey copper or
brittle silver which could be seen
liberably distributed through the
vein near the hanging wall. THIS
report is encouraging and fully sub

man OF the Dupont Mine. Mr. Geo.

Washington, D. c.,

June IL, 1910
That loud and pervasive sound heard
this week is the unanimous sigh Of
relief of 39S Congressman that the
end of the session is in sight. This
has been a strenuous session, and all
are glad TO get thru with it. But-tell
it not in Gath-there is still fair
chance for some fireworks before get
away day is over with.
AS usual, Cannon will be the cen
ter of the trouble. His rather pointed
remarks about some Of the Insurgents
have been neither forgotten nor for
given After they had let him stay
in as Speaker, he went and roasted
them to a frizzle. For various reasons
it did not seem wise to them to hit
back Just then, but it is safe to say
that their wrath has not spoiled in
the keeping They are now engaged
in finding out whether or not they
are big enough to hand our Uncle
hot one, and ii they are, why he will
have 1t to take.
The plan is to wait till all the legis-
| lative work of the session is over,
and then at the last minute, when a
fight will not delay the carrying into
execution of the party platform, to
try to have Cannon thrown out. A
resolution declaring the office Ct
Speaker vacant will be intrOduced-if
there are enough votes to pull il thru.
And the insurgents intend TO have EN-
ough votes If there is any possibility
of doing IT, They are all hanging
around here, looking as If they were
waiting for some fun, and Cannon does
not look any happier when he sees
some Insurgent smiling a happy smile.
II reminds him Of the famous case of
tie lady and the tiger. You know
There was a young lady of Niger,
Went out for a ride on a tiger.
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And smile on the face of the tiger.
Mr.. Cannon. for once in his life,
feels as If he were a tender young
girl, when he sees the Insurgents
smiling.
If Cannon is knocked out, the next
thing will be to elect another Speak
err. There is a strong chance that 1t
may not be possible, at least for
long time If the strong Cannon men
get up their backs, and refuse to
vote for any other Republican there
will be deadlock, fer the Democrats
would not help elect an Insurgent, and
the Insurgents would not help elect
Democrat. But the chances are
that the Cannon men will come down
properly, and hitch on to the next
man. There is no profit in carrying a
dead horse. Cannon If thrown our,
would be very dead; and Congressman
are not in politics for their health.
If the Republicans can get together,
it is likely that they will unite ON
William l. Smith, of Iowa. He has al
ways been a Cannon man, but has
managed to carry enough water on
tho other shoulder so that he is good
friends with the Insurgents. He stands
better chance of uniting the party
than any other man, probably He
has just won the fight for re-nomina-
ton by very narrow margin. and is
