one rather important concession which
was made by the organization before
even the Brooklyn Assemblymen could
be made 70 vote for the charter was
thar it should be amended in the Senate
To take effect July l. 1912.
Senator Croniu. who heads the Brook
lyn protestants, got them together early
this evening and took them out for
long automobile ride, and may be able
TO persuade them to hang together and
defy McCooey and Murphy as well. The
organization" though, expects to land
AN the Brooklyn men with the possible
exception Of Cronin and Harden. Of the
fnsurgont Senators. The organization
expects Burd and LOOMS 70 fall into
line. and. while Bayne, Of Richmond
County. is reckoned as strongly opposed
to the charter. the leaders say they
get him before the rollcalL Sulwel and
Griffin. The Bronx men who harbor a
grievance about the Bronx Congress dis
tricts. are not worrying Tammany any.
The efficacy Of Tammanys methods also

the manager and consulting engineers showed that it had
blocked out and sight enough to maintain it's present rate
OF production for period of five years. at the time that
there was in it's treasury nearly $250,000 in cash.
The mine has most interesting history It was located and
it's development begun long 1885 None of its early
made any money out of it because the tunnels
which they into the developed very little ore of
shipping grade It passed through good many hands,
leased several times and pretty being abandoned its
shares falling low in value sell in large blocks less
than cents the share
At this time the late James r. Smith Of Chicago who
large stockhoder enlarged his interest," reorganized the
company and provided development fund Of $25 000 Besides
the tunnels driven into the hill short shaft had been sunk
from just above the level of Canyon creek which showed
ore in the bottom.
Mr. Smith plan to continue this shaft and to drift from
it into the hill lower levels 1t resulted in most astonish
ing success When the 300foot level in the shaft attained
drift under the old workings which continuously
in for several hundred feet Subsequent work demonstrated
that the showngs previously obtained in the shaft and lower
tunnel were merely the highest projecting points of phenom
email ore shoot.
The mine has been developed to the 900foot level and
its shoot has been proved to be OF the longest IN the
Coeur Alenes The main shaft is now being sunk to the 1900
foot level when another drift will be the west to de-
velop the body at depth Since the death Of Mr. Smith,
