Rockford Tunnel Rushing.

At the Rockford tunnel of The
North American Snelter and Mines
company, production record is being
started that is surprising the mining
operators of that section. Fred Nye,
the superintendent, was instructed to
start the slopes on the Magalona and
Donaldson veins the latter part of
August. The Donaldson ore shoot is
about 500 feet in length and the Maya
Iona all of 500 feet long. The ore
varies from one to three and one-half
feet in width. Up to September 26,
while starting these slopes, total OF
27 cars amounting to about 700 tons
were shipped from the Magalona and
Donaldson veins through the Rockford
tunnel to the Golden smelter. The av-
sera9e gross value of. this ore was better
than $40 per ton. On September rs, q
part of the Slopes in both of these
drifts were pretty well completed so
that the ore became much cleaner.
With this advantage the ore at once
started to improve materially in value.
During the week ending October LIST,
seven carloads were shipped to the
smelter, six cars from the Magalona
slopes and one car from the Donaldson
stope. Settlement on these seven carr
with a total of ITO tons, showed an
average valve of better than one ounce
in gold in addition to the silver and
copper values. After paying the
freight and paying the smelter charges
of $I2 per ton, these seven cars netted ID
the mine 50, ,3o7.55. Some of the cars
were settled for. based on a gross val
uation, the values mostly in gold, of
better than $35 per ton. Superintend-
ent Nye expects to huild this tonnage
up to from two to three cars daily. 1t
must be remembered that all the ore
broken is shipped directly to Golden
without sorting. These ore shipments
would, therefore, be properly termed
"mine run.

The Lizbeth mine, one of the group
owned by the Platte Valley Gold Min
ing company, bids fair to become one
of the big bonanza mines of the Free
land and Lamartine districts. The vein
is about eight feet in width with both
hanging and foot walls showing per-
feet surfaces. On the hanging wall
there is a 16-insh streak that runs $40
in gold, silver and lead. The lead val
ues run about SO per cent. There IS
also good streak on the foot wall that
runs about $40 per ton while between
the two there is hard quartz well min
eralized with lead and zinc, but no
tests have been made to show its
assay value. A new shaft has recently
been sunk about forty-five feet with
the above results. Two more claims OF
the group, the Elvira and Gold King,
have shafts sunk on them about Is feet
deep each from which some rich gold ore
has been taken, some Of the picked
samples running as high as six ounces
in gold per ton. A tunnel has been
started down the mountain side to cut
under the shafts and is now in dis
tancs of 50 feet. The remaining claim
of the groups the Clinton. 1t has one
shaft down about $50 feet and another
about Is feet. In the latter there is
large body of lead and zinc ore. The
company is capitalized for 80. 600 shares
par value 81 per share. The principal
owner is c, H. Chase. Of Denver, and
the superintendent and secretary is
Chas L. Jaynes.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL
 BATTLE IMPENDING
United Mine Workers Leave
 for Toledo Conference
OPERATORS DO NOT YIELD
Wage Scale Committee Will Report Today and Contract Will Be Pre- sented to the Operators
 Tuesday.

Indianapolis, January 30.-One of the greatest industrial battles in the his- tory of the United States impends in the belief of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America. The convention which has been in session in this city for two weeks will adjourn tomorrow night and it is probable that the majority of the HOO delegates will immediately de- part for Toledo for the joint conference with the bituminous coal operators and mine owners of western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, which will open Tues day.
 This conference is specifically for the purpose of negotiating a wage contract for these districts described to go into effect April 1.
 But as the tri-state contract is to be the basis of uniform contracts in all of the other districts of the United States and Canada, it may be determined tomorrow that most of all of the soft coal miners representatives assembled here should take part in the Toledo conference.
 The operators according to reports will not ylelu to the miners demands TOT an increases in wages, and some of them have taken the stand that economic con- ditions warrant a decrease.
 The sentiment in the national miners union is unanimous for general strike If the operators refuse an increase in wages of at least 10 per cent. The western Pennsylvania miners stand for 20 per cent increase on the ground that the settlement of their recent strike against the Pittsburg Coal company re- suited In decrease of 10 per cent from the wage contract signed by the last joint tri-state conference. The faction in the United Mine Workers opposed to the ad- minfstration of President Thomas l.. Lewis charge him with responsibility for the alleged decrease in wages in western Pennsylvania. Francis Feehan, president of the western Pennsylvania district, is one of the leaders of the anti-Lewis ele- ment
 The wage scale committee of the min ers' union will bring in its report at the opening of tomorrow's session of the con- vention. and 1t Is expected the day will be spent in formulation of the contract that is to be presented by the miners to the operators Tuesday

DISAGREE WITH
 SECRETARY MEYER

Washington. January 30.-There is some hesitation evident among members of the House naval committee as to the navy reorganization plan submitted by Secre- tary Meyer. The members are divided on the question and some of them prob- ably will seek to make changes in the plan not in accord with the secretary's s views.
 This action will be fought, however, by certain of the secretary's friends on the committee who believe the reorganization scheme should be tried out until Congress meets next year. when if 1t is deemed desirable changes then may be made. In this wise it Is pointed out the plan will have had it's inning and a clearer idea of the whole situation will be had.
 Secretary Meyer is reported to hold this view and to welcome the responsi- bility of the test.
