Dangers in q Dog. Day Currency Law
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

1t is now manifest that congress In
extra session cannot possibly enact =
safe, comprehensive and well-digested
bank law. Opinions differ too radically,
both in and out of Washington, to
make the passage of the bill possible
except In hurried and half baked
form.
There are some excellent features In
the Owen GLASS measure. but others
which are amateurish and unscientific.
IJt is no disparagement to declare that
the congress now in session Is incom-
petent in the brief time prescribed. 20
create an adequate currency measure
Vital as tariff legislation always is
| in this country. of still more trans
cendent importance is the enactment OF
a law that would revolutionize the
whole scheme of banking In the United
States. Brains. delberation and hon
esty Of purpose are the ingredients
that must go into such a law unless It
shall bring calamity swift and sure.
The country needs a new bank act
but 1t can wait for the regular session
of congress rather than encounter the
dangers that lurk in a hastily con-
structed bill. It is time for sidetrack-

MINING ON THE WEST
FORK OF PINE CREEK
TWO GOOD SHOWiNGS, NOT FAR
FROM THE MOUTH, BUT
LITTLE DEVELOPED.

The west fork of Pine creek drains
a very large territory. 1t is one of the
principal sources of the stream. and
its junction with the east fork is about
six miles from the confluence of Pine
creek with the South Fork. For six
or seven miles up the west fork the
valley Is comparatively level and aver
ages near a quarter of mile wide
There Is timber for all purposes and
in the greatest abundance on all sides
as far as the view permits.
There Is considerable mining on this
fork and tributaries, though 1t is not
yet as far advanced In development as
the eastern section of Pine creek.
There are. however. some good mineral
showings and what work has been
done has been effective Two miles
above the mouth of the west fork is
the mining group of the International
company. Near 200 feet of tunnel has
been run on this property, neat and
comfortable quarters have been pro-
vided. and prearations are under way
for more extensive development.
The ledge being developed by the
international has a strong quartz
cropping, we'll mineralized with galena
ore throughout. Near 100 feet above
the flat a tunnel was started and the
ledge followed on an incline about 60
Tor 70 feet 1t shows well throughout
this work. The present work is below,
and while some unnecessary work has
been done in getting proper bearings,
Ias so often occurs in new work. re-
cent survey seems to have directed the
right course and apparently it is now
on the ledge.
Float has been found on the noun
tain above that is very high grade
running into the hundreds of ounces
in silver. The ore found in the present
workings has the appearance of being
Of more than ordinary grade In silver
1t is an ideal place for tunnel de.
velopment. For 400 or 500 feet ths
mountain rises precipitously, and i
seems possible to get near two fee
of depth for one of tunnel.

THE SPOKANE GROUP.
Most Attractive Surface Showing Of
Quartz and Mineral.

Just below the International, and
adjoining it, on the same hill, is the
Spokane group of three claims. 1t Is
one of the prettiest surface showings
one can imagine. There is very
small amount of work done, in fact, It
may be said to have hardly started,
but even few shots have made very
attractive dump of ore. A ledge of
several feet of quartz, highly mineral
lied, showing much galena and also
carbonates, crops out boldly near the
foot Of the mountain. 1t stands at
about half pitch, and is splendidly
located to afford easy development.
Noel Jubinville and other Spokane
parties are owners. It is understood
that they are arranging for develop
ment of the property In the near
future. The work SO far has been
done by Robert Snyder, who is at pres
ent in charge.
The general conditions for mining on
the west fork are all that could be
desired.

UNITED LEAD COMPANY
TO SINK $50. FEET
FIRST EXPLORATION OF DRY ORE
BELT BELOW WATER
LEVEL.

The United Lead company, which
for some years past has been doing
extensive development on the dry ore
belt short distance west of Osburn,
Is now entering upon some work Of
vast Importance to that mineral sec
tion. The long tunnel of the company.
the lowest practical level is the deep
est workings on the belt, and from this
they have begun sinking.
The crosscut tunnel is run from the
South Fork level and is run about
$500 feet to where the ledge is en-
countered. More or less drifting and
some upraising has been done here
on chute Of high grade gray copper
ore.
The shaft Is started about 100 feet
west of the point where the ledge was
first encountered. 1t Is an incline
shaft, following the lead. The present
intention Is to sink ESQ feet, and the
ground will be explored from this
depth A hand hoist has been geared
for the preliminary work and when II
is further along an enlarged compress
sor will be put in and electric power
used,
The work is in charge of Foreman
Stoll and It Is the intention to push
| It as rapidly as possible.
The United Lead holdings lie JUS
west of the Mineral Point, a propert,
which has shipped considerable hlgf
grade silver ore. Further east, in thu
same belt. is the Nellie. which has {
creditable record of shipments. ant
west is the Yankee Boy, shipper fo

Norman's Answer.

Sidney Norman is now in Spokane
and the Occur d'Alenes. The above
letter was sent out since his departure
from New York, where he was actively
identified with the court case, to the
northwest. Mr. Norman issues the
following printed reply to the above:
Such a warning seems to me TO
have been an entirely unnecessary
expense. The controlling factors cf
the Federal company are somewhat in
the position of the ordinary sandbag-
ger, who steps UP behind his victim,
slugs him into Inconsistencies and
then, when he shows signs of coming
to- tells him the blow vas delivered
for his own good and asks him to sub
nit to another one. The appeal for
funds sent out by me was couched IN
such terms that there could be no mis-
take such as is suggested. Since the
Guggenheims control Federal and
thereby exact an unjust tax of $6OO,O00
a year, 1t Is humorous, to say the least
when they solemnly assure stockhold-
ers that they are not connected with
the suit against themselves. So far as
my stock holdings are concerned 1t Is
only necessary to say that l own forty
times as much as President and Gen
eral Manager Harry l.. Day. and foul
times as much as eleven of the thirteer
directors combined. Owners Of larg'
interests, who prefer that their namc
be not used In the complaint arr
standing with me and the Guggenheim
cannot evade the consequences of thei
acts. Federal securities have shrunl
$2O,OOO,O00 since they secured control
That is an argument which cannot b
met

STRIKE ORE IN
SHAFT OF THE LACLEDE
EXTENT NOT YET KNOWN-PROP.
ERTY EXCEPTIONALLY
WELL LOCATED.

Some nice ore was encountered IN
the shaft now being sunk on the La
clede few days ago. The extent OF
ii is not yet known, but in any event
the appearance Of ore is encouraging
The shaft is down but about 20 feet
Good ore has appeared in the workings
of the Laclede at frequent intervals IN
the past. and while there has been
much tunnel work on the ground, 1t
has been felt by those in the manage
ment that none of this was deep enough
to fairly demonstrate the property.
Hence the sinking was undertaken, and
while with thorough knowledge Of
the ground above, to strike a perma-
nent ore body at any stage OF the
sinking would not be at all surprising
1t will not be disappointing II consid-
cradle more depth and more or less
drifting are required.
The shaft Is sunk about 1000 feet
back from the portal Of No. tunnel
and in a drift from it. While a long
distance in, the perpendicular depth
from the surface is not very great.
The Laclede group lies in between
the Hercules and Tamarack- Custer
two large producers, both extensively
developed. It's location Is unexcelle6
in the camp, and its ledge and show
ing of ore in the course of present de-
velopment have given ample encour
agement for extensive deeper develop
ment,

Letter Sent to Stockholders.
New York, July II, 1913.
ITO the Stockholders Of the Federal
Mining & Smelling Co.:
1T has come to the notice of the
officers of this company that one Sid
ney Norman is soliciting funds from
the stockholders of the company for
the prosecution Of a suit brought by
himself and other individuals against
the Federal Mining & Smelling Com
pany, the American Smelling & Refin-
ing Company and the directors Of the
former company
1T Is clear from the tenor of COM
munications received at this office
from stockholders that some. perhaps
many, stockholders understand from
Mr. Norman's circulars and subscrip-
tion blanks, that they are issued by
authority Of this company and that
the suit Is brought by this company.
The facts are otherwise. The suit Is
brought by Norman and few others
owning but a minute fraction Of the
companys stock, and this company
believing the case without foundation
in law or in morals, is actively con-
testing it. Norman himself, who insti-
gated and has pressed the suit. wa;

A REMARKABLE CITY.
Some Wonderful Facts About the Great
Copper Camp.
Butte Miner.


Butte Miner.
Butte is unique in many ways among
the cities Of the world.
First Of all no other city of equal
population can relate as large a pay
roll as Butte tells.
The mining payroll alone tops ST.
100000 a month, practically all Of
which finds its way into circulation.
Stop to think what that means! That
is about $40 apiece for every man,
woman and child in the community
every month. It is about $500 each by
the year.
No spot of similar area in the worlds
history can boast the production of
wealth that mining history relates If
the Butte hill-one thousand million
dollars in ore have been taken there
from.
Those figures carried out mean about
SIS, ,OOO.O 900 a year paid out in wages in
this community. No wonder that Butte
knows but little poverty--practically
none-and that prosperity Is the
watchword here year in and year out.
Not only Is the payroll enormous as
to money paid out but 1t Is big thing
when the number Of men employed Is
considered. When the surface inhabi-
tants Of the greatest mining camp or
earth are asleep at night 5000 toilers
are driving through the hard granite
Of the earth's bowels. And when Butte
above ground Is teeming with life IN
| the rays Of the sun the 5000 night
toilers are sleeping and another 5000 Is
delving below ground by candle light.

AND SILVER VALUES.

The strike on the Great Western,
made some weeks ago, SO far as it has

justiies the feeling Of confidence eX-
pressed when the news first came by
those familiar with the property ANA
the property in the Burke district, the

at which the ore was found--these ana

Eastern Ownership.
The ownership of the property is
largely in the hands of people In Wis

there is considerable stock held locally
Tom Scott, who some years ago was

opment, is also an extensive stock
holder. Messrs. Russell and Young,
who were here when the strike was
made, and several weeks later are
Wisconsin men, and they are in the
east and will no doubt arrange for ex-
Work has gone on steadily since the
strike, though on small scale. Some
upraising was done and sinking on the
ore is now in progress
Present Work.
The ore was struck some 1900 or
1900 feet back in the tunnel and the
perpendicular depth is between 400 and
500 feet. There is hard drilling in the
shaft, it being hand work, and neces-
sarily slow progress is made. The shaft
is down Is or 20 feet and all the work
has been on excellent ore. The width
of the shaft, however, does not dem
onstrate the full extent of the ore.
Shipping and Milling Product.
| A quantity Of the ore was brought
brought down for assay tests by Wal
lace parties Tuesday. Much of it is
clean galena and some is highly
mineralized quartz, apparently carry
ing high values in copper, silver ant
possibly a gold value. There is soms
coarse grain galena, but the bulk of i
is fine grain 1t differs in appearance
materially from the steel galena o
the camp and gives unmistakable evi
dence of having an important coppe
value. This galena is a clean shipping
lproduct and there is said to be TIVE
feet of it in the shaft. Alongside o
this is about six feet of good concen
