LEXINGTON TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1919

Record Breaking Crowd
In Town. Principally on
Account of the Show.

Last Monday was first Monday,
the October term of the Quarter.
ly County court and circus day
and the combined attractions
brought to Lexington the biggest
crowd seen here in many a day.
Circus or show day differs from
other public occasions in the fact
that it brings to town the women
and girls, with a liberal sprink-
ling of boys and babies, some Of
whom come to see the show per-
formance while all are on hand

pens to be a street parade with
out which no show is complete.
The coming together Of the peo-
pie on such occasions is good,
bringing about the meeting Of
many who would atherwise not
see each other for many moons.
There is no use to rail against
the travelling show and deplore
the fact that it carries money out
Of the country, for the people
love it and see it they will.
However, it should be required
that the show be clean morally
and that gamblers and fakirs
shall not operate in connection
with it. Keep the show clean,
keep it honest and let it keep on
coming, for amusement is neces-
sary to the people.

THOMPSON WATER POWER.
Will Develop Nearly Fifty Thousand
HORSEPOWER,

State Senator Ed Donlan of Mis-
soula, who is extensively interested in
mining in the Occur d'Alenes, espe-
cially in the Sunset district, has this
to say to a Butte paper of the great
water power plant now under con-
struction at Thompson Falls and in
which he is largely nterested;
This plant will, when completed
develop 10000 horse power and will be
one of the most modern and complete
systems in the world. 4 temporary
plant already is furnishing some power
to Iron Mountain and the town Of
Thompson. The Clarks Fork of the
Columbia Is a magnificent stream and
the natural site for power plant at
the falls could not well be better
"'rhe plant win not be completed in
side of two years. 1t will be big

Montana for 1t will furnish cheap pow
er which may be utilized In variety
of ways. For one thing. II will be en-
ployed to pump water for irrigation
purposes and will doubtless be used by

ways to their advantage"

ELECTRIC MOTORS
FOR THE INTERSTATE
HEAVY RAILS NOW BEING DE-
LIVERED-ExreNslvE
ORE BODIES.

The Interstate Mining company has
been steadily working out extensive
plans, and in the no distant future
its working equipment will be second
to none in the Occur d'Alenes At
this time the long working tunnel.
about a mile in length, is being lifted
with heavy rails for electric motors.
These have been ordered About half
a dozen horses have heretofore been
doing the work, but the haul being Il
long one, It Is slow work compared
with that to be accomplished by cleo
tricity
1t Is understood that the develop
ment Of the Interstate mine proper has
been most satisfactory in results dur
ing the past year or so. A 400foot
shoot of ore west Of the fault Is said
to he now available. This is in the
neighborhood of 1900 feet depth.
On the Callahan ground which will
be worked through the Interstate tun-
mel, there is said to be much ore
available, and Of very superior grade
Still further on the Carbon creek
side. and joining the Callahan, Is the
Amazon Manhattan. This is being
opened at a low level. This property
Is a recent requirement Of the Inter-
state. There Is large amount of ore
exposed here by former work. The
Manhattan ledge has been best devel-
oped. but the parallel ledge on the
Amazon makes fine showing Of mill
ing ore and will no doubt be extern
sively worked later on. The working
of this ground. when connections are
later made, will require holsting the
ore several hundred feet for transpor-
taton through the Interstate tunnel to
the Nine Mile railroad.
| In it's own extensive work on the
original Interstate holdings, In the
consolidation with the adjoining Gala
han ground and with the purchase OF
the Amazon Manhattan. the Interstate
has large amount of known ore, to
be made available through connections
with the Nine Mile tunnel. Its mill
is nearing completion and before the
summer is far advanced II will no
doubt be among the large shippers OF
the camp.

HIGHLAND SURPRISE.
Long Ore Shoot to Be Reached
Through Lowest Level.

The Wardner News says that by the
consolidation of the Highland Chief
and Surprise holdings stopping ground
between 700 and 500 feet is available
on the lowest possible level. The con-
solidated property has now a substan-
tial ore reserve and good mill with
which to treat it, of 100 tons daily
capacity. that is equipped with first
class machinery, whose capacity can
be cheaply increased During the past
year the mill turned out 776,000 pounds
of zinc concentrates and 100000
pounds of lead concentrates.
Present developments in the tunnel
are revealing body of clean shipping
ore which gives promise of being the
most important find yet made in the
mine and which adds considerable to
the known ore reserves of the prop
erty.

THINKS ROCHESTER
SURE TO MAKE GOOD
TAIN TO HAVE GRADUAL
HEALTHY GROWTH.

George Bcrtschy of Reno, who has
spent lifetime in the mining game
and who came here from Dakota in
1903, has become a pioneer in Fair
view and other sections of the state
has returned from an inspection of
Rochester which convinced him the
camp will make good, says the Reno
(Nev) Gazette.
AT the same time. though he does
not hesitate to commend the fine sur
face showing, Bertschy says a com
parison of Rochester with Touopah
he looks to see a good substantial
milling camp established. he does not
expect to see sensational high grade
finds of large ore bodies. What he
looks to see at Rochester is a healthy
steady growth rather than flood of
new arrivals drawn by discoveries of
a sensational nature.
General conditions said Bertschy
"are very good and the surface show
ing on Nenzel hill and vicinity is
splendid.

as soon as the snow is sufficiently gone
to get in supplies. The work will be
principally in driving ahead on the
