2O-STAMP Mill FOR
S"EARCHLIGHT Mine

President w. w. Hunt of the Hunt
of the New York S~earchlight company
has given the orders to prepare plans
and specifications for a 20-stamp mill
for the New York property, for which
extensive ore-milling tests have been
made, so as to know in detail what is
needed in the way of equipment from
ton to bottom of the plant.
At about the same time, Mr.. Hunt
ordered a double-opposed gasoline en-
CINE cf $50 horsepower, which will be
placed in position at the mine az soon
as the order can be filed and deliv-
ered.

new LEASE ON TRAMP
HAS GOOD ORE

Bert Shively always had a good eye,
or a good scent or whatever sense you
may call it for the finding of high
grade.
His good luck has not failed him in
his latest venture on Tramp No. 5
claim, where he and Gil Bennett are
leasing.
At a depth of about twenty-five feet
the leasers have uncovered q fine
vein of ore which shows a width of
pay rock estimated to average not less
than $50 per ton.
The ore Is that characteristic imam
ganese quartz which is the vein fill
ing of nearly all Bonanza mountain
lodges, and the formation is dipping to
the west, the same as the numerous
quartz lodges on that end of the hill.
Mr.. Shively bases his estimate of
the average value Of the ore upon the
returns from several generous sam
pies, one of which ran 1924 per ton.
Although the leasers have been at
work only a short time, they have
saved thirty-fve tons, which will be
worked in the zeal future at the mill
of the Eclipse Development company,
from which corporation Shively and
bennett have a suitcase.
If the ore holds its present width
and quality, the leasers will realize a
handsome return for their labors.
Tramp No. 5 is a portion Of the es-
tate of the Tramp Consolidated Min
ing company.-Rhyolite Herald.

MILL IN Lee
WILL START SOON

Ed Mellarkey came in from Lee this
week and reported that DR.. Harding
expects to get the Hayseed milling
plant in operation before the first of
August as the latest. The mill has
been erected at the well about four
miles east of the Hayseed mine, from
which the ore supply is to come, says
the Rhyolite Herald.
A raise is being made from the first
level in the Hayseed, for air purposes,
starting from the end of the long drift
in which the best values SO far found
in the property have been exposed.
This is the first attempt at milling in
the Lee district, and the operation Of
the plant will be watched with inter
est. The Lee-Echo section is one Of
much promise, but reduction plants
upon the ground are necessary to
bring the properties into the pay list.
1t is hoped that the Hayseed ven
ure will pave the way for greater DE-
velopments in that portion Of the FL
neral range.

WISWELL MILL AT BEATTY
MAY SOON BE ENLARGED

The wiswell mill at Beatty is still
beset with troubles, from which the
management hopes to excape went
ually by the installation of manganese
steel castings.
Some weeks ago it was demonstrate
cd that the original castings were too
soft to work the hard ores of this sec
tion, and accordingly new castings
were ordered in San Francisco. The
new castings proved but little better
than the first, and the management
will now seek relief by securing the
best castings obtainable.
During the present week, the Wis
we'll mill has been in operation, treat
ing a few small consignments Of ore
from local properties, but after this
work is f,ished, no more ore will bs
worked until the manganese castings
are installed.
w. H. Bond, who owns a promising
property east of Beatty at a point
known as Telluride, has sent five ton.
to the Wiswell mill. Gibson, leasing
on Ladd mountain, has sent ten tons
and the leasers on the Diamond OF
Ladd mountain have sent ten tons.
Gibson's ore sampled $55 per toI
the returns on the other shipments
not having as yet been announced.
F. A. Wiswell, inventor of the Wis
well process Of ore reduction, is nov
at the plant. He stated to The Her
aid this week that in all ~probabilit,
funds will be forthcoming for the en-
largement of the Beatty mill, and TO

plant.
"Recent tests made with the

plisched twice as much as was en.,,
ed by the parties who may be int,

we would soon have the money to :,

Without doubt the full merit Of N.

common in the inception of reduction
plants of whatever nature.
Mr.. Wiswell has recently visited
the Bond property and also the GRAY
and Sanders property adjoining. Both
are very promising, he asserts. The
geology of the country in his opinion
is favorable to large ore deposits.
Gray and Sanders are getting good
paintings of gold and also sulphide ore
of an encouraging nature. They are
now driving a tunnel to tap the ledgs
and are about 20 feet under cover.

the noted actor, who won interna-
tional fame in "Othello" and
Faust" and who is well known
to Spokane theatergoers as one of
the greatest dramatic successes

composed of original merriment
and charming melodies. They have
a line of dialogue that is bright
and snappy and their songs are
brand new.
Joseph J. and Myra Bowling will

At the Orpheum

Two big feature acts, both OF
them of the first water but alike
in no other respect than their abil-
ity as drawing cards. head a rous-
ing good bill which opens at the
Orpheum with the Sunday matinee.
Mat Henson. one of the two civil
lied men who ever stood at the
north pole, is one of the headliners,
while Eliza Proctor Otis in Mrs.
Burners Bum" is the other.
Henson will tell something Of the
humorous incidents which were UNI
covered while he made the hard
journey with Commander Peary to
the north pole. He leaves the sci
entiiic part of the work to Peary
and he bushes himself with the lit
tie stories with human interest in
them. He also tells of the life OF
the strange natives of the north
and illustrates his talk with photo
graphs taken in the land of the
midnight sun.
Mrs. Burners Bun" the other
big act, is hilarious comedy in
which Miss Otis is right in her ele-
ment. She Is an acknowledged
master as a mimic coincidence and
has been a favorite in many of the
biggest Broadway successes.

At the Pantaees

The music-loving public of Spo-
kane will certainly get a treat at
the Pantages theater next week
when the Marimbo band, big
headline act on the VIM. Morris
circuit and In fact the music SEN
sat.on of all the large eastern
cities, will be the feature attrac-
tion. This act was the musical
feature of the Harry Lauder road
show and is the most talked Of
act today of that big performance.
This is not band in the sense
of band as we would expect to
see in the United States, but the
act is composed of five Central
American boys who play on an in
strument that would be almost i'm
possible to describe, but the music
they render is the most pleasing,
melodious ever heard in Spokane.
The following is part of a New
York criticism of the famous head
line act. What is without a doubt
musical sensation and the nov
city of the season, is the act of the
Marimbo band, troupe of Central
American boys, who perform on the
most peculiar instrument, the like
of which has never before been
seen here" Baker, Devoe and
Adolph appear in comedy, That's
How They Saved Their Lives"
which for laugh producing purposes
certainly has the right material.
They introduce eccentric singing,
dancing and acrObatic stunts.
Brookes and Carlisle present the
breezy comedy, THE Limit in
which typical golfing English
man and American girl hand each
other smart sayings, and in getting
it on each other from time to time
make the act a scream. The clos
ing song in which they introduce
jokes and sayings on local people
is big finish and should prove
big hit
The Millards, presenting "The
ClodhOpper and the Grip in barn
yard fun. They introduce singing
and talking that is a big scream.
Their guitar, violin and Xylophone
work, while introducing comedy, is
of the highest order. Riley and
Aherns, known as the Dixie Dan
dies, have one of those happy sing
Ing and wooden shoe dancing acts
so much appreciated by vaudeville
lovers.
VIM. D. ellison will sing that pop
ular ballad, "The Silver Threads
Among the Gold and the moving
pictures will close the big comedy

One day was a repetition of the
last. Tramping in all kinds of
weather, from one end of the city
to the other, l made application at
every large store in the city. Then
l tried the smaller places. But
without result. Each night as re-
turned to the little, dark room,

than the night before. My money
was rapidly dwindling.
Only a few dollars were left. My
clothes were each day becoming
shabbier, lessening my chances Of
obtaining work.
One night looked in the tiny
mirror over the washstand in the
corner and saw that my hair was
streaked here and there with a
thread Of silver.

well clad but not looking as peace

1.-THE EASIEST WAY"
After few moments l struck up
conversation with her. l became
confidential and related my hard
experiences and the futile search
for work. She replied that she, too,
had been out of work for several
months. surveyed the evidences
of prosperity that the other bore
and queried in surprise how she
managed to get along.
A shade of confusion passed over
the face of the stranger, but she
forced careless laugh.
"Come and room with me-" she
said; "PIl show you. It's easy"
Realizing what she meant, all the
years of my mothers tender care
and counsel came to my mind, and
jumped up, declaring that would
rather die. Then l left.
MANY TOOK "OTHER" PATH.
l found in those few weeks that
many of the girls had given up the
struggle and taken TO that "other"
path. They were weaker than

up the fight.
