jim BUTLER PLANS
EXTENSIVE WORK

Preparations are now being made TO
resume active operations at the Wan
doring Boy shaft Of the Jim Butler mine
and concentrating all development work
on the Fraction vein. The shaft is now
being put in order and viii he equipped
with an electric hoist in lieu of the
present gasoline moist and as soon as the
necessary preliminary work has been
completed vigorous underground develop
mcnt VIII be commenced. This shaft is
500 feet deep and the Fraction vein has
been proved Ia average eight feet In
width with a large tonnage of milling
ore blocked ont in the workings. The
main orc shoot has been proved 10 he
$50 feet long. but its extreme length
or downward extension has never vet
been determined and exploration and de-
veIopmcnt work viii now be undertaken
TO this end.
In addition to the furtheC opening up
OF the Fraction vein II is planned 20 ex-
plore, through this shaft. the western
extension OF the Valley View series OF
veins which in the Tonopah Mining COM
nanyS ground have been followed up 10
the jim Butler lines. Another vein that
will also be sought for is the south vein
which in the Desert Queen workings of
the lonopah Mining company has pro-
dpced an immense tonnage of ore and
this has also been driftcd on to tho Jim
Butler boundary. The management has
no plans for the immediate production
of orc from tho mine and II is quito
possible that this will he delayed until
toe Belmont rnlll at Nillers Is available
for custom ore. which will be after the

So far as the board OF county COM

may have its new bascule bridge over
the west branch of the canal at For
syth avenue. A communication from
President Richard Schaaf of that body
was read at the meeting last night Of
the Commercial Club of Indiana Harbor
and East Chicago. in which the writer
stated that the commissioners would
recommend to the county council the
appropriation of $4,000 for the build

ever as the county council has the last
guess, 1t is up to that body
President Schaaf recommended in his
letter that the club see the council in
reference to the matter and explain
the situation to the members of this
organization. A committee of ten will
accordingly be appointed to attend the
meeting of the council in September to
present the urgent necessity for the
bridge.

PIG IRON SHOWS
GREAT ACTIVITY

New York, Aug. s.-The Iron Age
says today:
The pig iron market Is responding
as 1T has not in many months to the
well-known conditions in the finished
steel market. A Youngstown steel
company bought $4,000 tons of Besse-
mer iron late in July at close to SLABS
furnace. but s14.50 is now the general
minimum. An advance tendency ap
pears also in the basic iron market.
The steel corporation has been buy
ing lots of 1000 to 5000 tons In recent
weeks for several subsidiaries.
I'm foundry iron a significant devei
opment is the appearance of consider
able inquiries for shipment in the
first quarter of 1918. For such deliv-
cry all producers have advanced their
prices. and some sales are reported on
the higher levels. There are signs of
broadening of machinery demand.
and foundry operations are larger in
consequence. Merchant furnace stocks
of foundry irons. well of steel
making irons, showed a further mode
rate reduction in July.
1.-The chief item In the finished mate
rial market is the closing of 10000
tons of the 100000 tons of rails for
which the railroads have inquired for

so, 600 tons, another road about 10000
tons and two others a total of $4,000
tons.
