DEVELOPMENT At CHANDLER
SHOWS ORE RESERVES
The Supposedly Worked Out Verml|ien
Property will Sc an Active Producer
for Many Years Under New
MANAGEMENT.

The following from the Ely Miner
will be of interest: TO a number Of
Virginians because of the association
Of local citizens with the develop
ment work being done on the old
Chandler property at Ely:
The Chandler is forging steadily
ahead in the work of opening up an
ore deposit estimated to keep the
mine on the producing list in a con-
servative way for many years. So
far no actual mining has been done
and while there are 10000 on the
stock pile produced this winter, all
was raised in the process of devel-
opment.
THE mine is now working on the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth levels
Eighty-five men are employed and
forty miners are working on a shift.
The pay roll now runs up to $500
month exclusive of supplies. On
all the levels being opened by means
of drifts, ore is at hand in abundant
quantities and of quality as good. as
any heretofore mined at the Chand-
Ter. On the sixth level drifts have
been driven north and south and a
crosscut south has shown a 300-foot
body of ore easily mined.
The management feels assured
that if occasion demands 100000
tons can be produced and shipped
this year with the present equip
ment. A drift is now being made to
the old No. shaft and later it is
proposed to drift to old No. 6. 1t is
also the intention fthe company to
get more machinery and put No. !!
shaft into commission as soon as
practicable.
"Captain Coombs is in charge of
the mine and is doing most excellent
work."

In response Mayor Murphy made
denial of any possible charge of
having contended Mr.. Shea would
be unfair to the city. but felt that
under existing circumstances better
headway could be made with some
other legal advisor. He stated, how
ever, that he did not consider Mr..
Shea's resignation would stop the
recall proceedings, as he said the
aldermen who voted for Mr.. Shea
were in1mical to the best interests
of the city.

administration, by a vote of as

against for N. B. Arnold.
President Boylan of the council
was unable to be in attendance at
the meeting because of being locked
in a jury room at district court,
while Alderman Kim ball was also
an absentee because of sickness in
his home.
The meeting was enlivened by
several passages at arms between
MEMBERS of the council and others,
but we feel that the city council has
or should have other matters to
which to attend instead of making
OF their meetings series of "chew-
ing Matches" either between them
selves or with outsiders whose
standing in the community is ex-
tremeIy questionable. There is work
to do-and there are other things to
be done aside from the purchase of
the light and water plant; not
things, perhaps, which would add
80 much to the burdens of the tax
payers, but things which demand
attention for the comfort, welfare
and progress of Virginia.
From the outlook. however, it
would seem that all public improve
ments, all public affairs of every
nature, were to be abrogated to the
light and water issue, and that a
determined effort to "oust" every
alderman who refuses to bulge for
the steam roller tactics will be madt

BASEBALL IN VIRGINIA..

Rex Wind,' sporting editor of the
News Tribune, who visited this city
last week, has the following to say
of the baseball situation in Virginia:
THAT Virginia is thoroughly ready
and willing to back their team in
the new G. l. league to the limit was
demonstrated when the fans and pro-
moters fthe team in that city held
a meeting with the Commercial club
Wednesday evening at which the lat
ter body showed great interest in the
placing of strong team in the field
for the range town.
ASK any man on the street, any
boy going to school, or any woman
on shopping tour, while in Vir-
ginia, whether they think that Vir-
ginia will make good in their new
baseball venture, The replies you'll
get will make you pull in your ques-
tions in a hurry, for the project is
not an experiment with them. No,
they just simply are laying for the
chance to take on the honors. Base
ball undermines Virginia like the
labyrinth of King Dajo's palace-it
extends everywhere.
LAS to a park, the range city has
Duluth's plant stacking up like a
third rater against Brown. One can
not help but be impressed that Vir-
ginia is "heeled" financially, patri-
otically and in every way, furnishing
a good example in real action for the
local club to follow"
