BUNKER HILL AND SULLIVAN CELEBRATES
7WENN.SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY Of LOCATION

Twenty-seven years ago Tuesday
afternoon, September 10. Noah KEEL
logg and Phil O'Rourke, accompanied
by the longeared jackass, made their
way up Milo gulch coming in from
Murray, following the report of KEEL
logg that some good groupings had
been found in the Milo creek district.
Late in the afternoon of September 10
they nailed the first location papers on
a tree at the upper end Of the gulch
and proceeded to stake out the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine.
That was q years ago. Last We'd
nesday the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
company declared dividend No. $50, the
regular monthly disbursement of $685.

neers in the country who have express
ed this view on many occasions The
new electric 500 horsepower hoist re-
Gently installed in the mine to handle
the ore from the lower levels, was
made especially for the company and
hoist of its kind used in any mine in
the world. Electric haulage over the
two-mile tunnel from the hoist to the
mills, is another feature that brought
the mine up to its efficient state.
About 700 men are employed in or
about the mine, the Bunker Hill having
the largest pay roll Of any one mine in
the district, and this number OF men
will find employment for many years to
come, judging from present outlook and
barring any disaster in the metal
markets.
For the past 10 years Stanly A..
Easton has been in charge of the prop
erty as general manager and much of
the wonderful success Of the mine in
opening up new territory. maintaining
it's production figures and for the har-
monious relation existing between the
company and it's employees, is due to
his capable and efficient management.
Attracted by such pay roll and the
steady, prosperous conditions, with
confidence in tn management and its
policy. capital for business lines of
every description, has been attracted
here with the result that In the Twin
Cities are found as well stocked stores
and markets as can be found anywhere
in the country and with merchants
keenly alive to the best interests of
their patrons they are enjoying a most
lucrative trade as a result.

OFFER TREASURY STOCK.
Rockford Mining Company Places
100000 Shares on the Market.

The directors Of the Rockford Min
ing company had the mine on Big
creek inspected recently by sompe-
tent mining engineer upon the COM
pletion of the contract which had been
let for extending the main tunnel
Upon such inspection said engineer
gaveit as his opinion that it was nee
essary to extend the tunnel but short
distance to cut the ledge at depth; 1t
appearing that the pitch of the vein
had changed and that it was inclining
away from the present workings. The
directors have decided to follow this
advice.
At the present time there Is not suf-
ficient money in the treasury to accom-
plish this work and it has been decided
to place on the market 100000 shares
of treasury stock at not less than one
and one-half cents per share The
first opportunity to purchase this
stock will be given to present stock
holders. Those desiring to subscribe
are invited to send remittances cover
ing the number Of shares they desire to
purchase to Mr.. J. E. Erickson, treas
urer of the company, at Gem, Idaho,
and certificates will at once be for
warded to purchasers.

PRODUCTION IN WYOMING.
Increase in Gold But Decrease in Silver
and Copper Production in 1911.

Increase in Gold But Decrease in Silver
and Copper Production in 1911.
The value of the production of gold.
silver and copper in wyoming In 1911.
according to Charles w. Henderson, of
the United States Geological Survey
was $34,4O7, an increase of $2.173 over
the value Of these metals for 1910. The
output of gold was $4,000. an increase
of $4,000. Gold production from deep
mines Increased from $2,545 in 1910 to
s12,159 in 1911, and from placers in
creased from 1854 to $7,O4l. The in
creased yield was entirely due to min
ing operations in the Atlantic City dis
trict, in Fremont county, which yielded
over 81 per cent of gold
The production Of copper In Wyom-
ing In 1911 was 11S,5s4 pounds, valued
at 1898. This was 1oS,755 pounds less
than in 1910, owing mainly to the idle
ness of the Penny wyoming mine and
smelter, in Carbon county. The de-
crease In the copper output caused a
decline in silver production from 1,47s
fine ounces. valued at $79s. in 1910. to
725 ounces. valued at 1884, In 1911.
The quantity of ore mined and treat
ed increased from 1,474 tons in 1910 to
3.49l tons In 1911.

MINES 4N9 MINING

There is another reservoir at the head
of the gulch where Il feet Of water
covers 20 acres of ground. This Is
held in reserve, available at any time,

fasteners Visit Property.
Recent visitors at the mine, among
them being some of the largest stock
holders, were G. H. Booth and son of
Youngstown, Ohio; A. w. Ellenburger
of the Worden Tool company, Cleve-
land, Ohio; DR.. w. II. Buechner,
Youngstown. Ohio; Henry Wick, Jr..
Mr.. Westlake and Mr. Sampson OF
Youngstown, who represented others.
After these gentlemen had looked the
property over and spent several days
at the mine, all expressed themselves
as highly pleased, not only with the
showing and prospect, but with the
substantial and practical way In which
the work is being carried on. To a
Miner representative, several Of them
stated that they found everything in
connection with the mine and the work
being done was just as 1t had been
represented to them by the manager
Wesley Everett, while he was on his
recent eastern trip in the company's
interests.
The present working force consists OF
16 miners, and this will be increased as
fast as the development makes the
working of more men practical. The
showing disclosed in building the dan
will be cut by the lower tunnel in about
$50 feet, and big things are looked fol
when this point is reached.

STOCK POOL PLANNED.
Deal Hinted at in Call Of Rhode Island
Stockholders.

An adjourned meeting of the stock
holders of the Rhode Island Mining
Company, Limited will be held at the
Office of the company at the Occur
d'Alene Hardware company, Wallace,
Idaho, Thursday September 26, 1912,
at 5 p. m. for the purpose Of electing
a board of directors for the ensuing
year and for the transaction of such
other business as may properly come
before the meeting.
1t has been urgently requested that
all stockholders be present in person
or by proxy, as proposal will be made
that the stockholders place one-half of
their stock in a pool for the purpose
of handling any deal which may pre-
sent itself and which may be satisfac-
tory to the board of directors. 1t is
pointed out that this would obviate the
necessity of writing to each of the
stockholders for their sanction to a
deal.

GREATER SAFETY IN MINING is
OBJECT OF WORLD WIDE MOVE
Representatives of Many Governments
Gather at Philadelphia to Con-
Duct Investigation.

Aworld- wide movement for greater
safety among the several million men
who work in the mines, suggested by
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, the director of
the United States Bureau of Mines, will
be inaugurated at the Pittsburg ex-
government officials from the leading
nations of the earth convene to dis
cuss the great problem before them.
Invitations to participate in such
conference have been extended by the
federal government through the state
department and the American ambas-
sailors to the different foreign coun-
tries that have mining interests, in
GLIDING Great Britain, Germany,
France, Belgium, Austria Hungary
Mexico and Canana.
The army Of coal miners throughout
the world numbers more than 100000
men and each year between 5000 and
1000 meet death through accident. The
death rate among these men in 1910
was Eli in every 1000 employed In
the United States alone in the same
year 1884 men were killed in the coal
mines, or 3.91 in every 1000 employed.
with conditions worse in the United
States than in any other country. it is
expected that the conference of ex-
perts will result in great good to this
country, and perhaps a lessening of
the death rate in the world.
The prevention of coal dust and gas
explosions in the mines will be the
general theme of the conference offic-
ials, who will continue in session at
Pittsburg for 10 days. The United
States has the only experimental mine
in the world and the visitors, who are
anxious to see 1t, will witness the actu-
al coal-dust explosions in the mine.
Nearly all of the visitors are the heads
of explosives testing stations in their
respective countries and the confer
ence will endeavor to develop more
uniform, and If possible. new methods
of testing explosives, II Is believed
that such a conference will contribute
largely to the initiation of improve
ments in mining and will be helpful
In the adoption Of safer mining equip
!ment and methods.

winners will be richer by $500 each. for
a side bet of $1,000 has been put up, all
held at an early date. The details have
been arranged, all but the time. This
will be determined within the next few
days, and 1t is probable that the con-
test will be pulled off in Wardner
There was no dissatisfaction over
the award of the prize, but the friends
land hackers of the two teams have
been in confab ever since Labor day.
There are many who believe that
Stokes and williams under conditions
that do not favor either team can
prove their right to the title of cham
pions, and the hackers of Seligo and
Sherwood are just as confident they
cannot. The coming match has arous-
ed great interest among miners
Throughout the district, and there will
be a big attendance when it is held.
Both teams are in training, aside from
their regular work, and it will be a
case of survival of the fittest when
they meet. The same rock on which
the four performed in Wallace will be
used for the big match.
