Having only been here a few
days it is perhaps rather prema-
ture to say much about the prob
lens confronting the camp, but
at the present time the greatest
problem you seem to have is the
economical treatment of the base
ores, and this matter needs a
great deal of careful study and
experiment. | wish to further
state that the mining department
of the University is anxious to
help you solve your problems in
the same way as the agricultural
school is helping the farmer to
solve theirs, and wishes to take
an active part in the mining de-
velopment of the state, as well
as being an educational institu-
ton, and trust that you will call
upon us and we will try and help
where we can."
r. B. McGinnis, q noted min
ing engineer of California, who
had been engaged in professional
work on the Salmon river and
was passing through Dixie, also
made the following statement.
After some amusing remarks on
the condition of the trails and
the danger of crossing the Sal
mon river in an ancient boat, he
said: Before coming to this
part of Idaho, l went to the u.
S. geological survey to get some
information in regard to the
Dixie district, but was unable to
obtain any information or data
from them, or any other source.
For this reason / think that one
of the best things that has
occurred to help this district is
the work that Prof. Livingston
and Prof. Stewart are now en-
gagged upon and l sincerely hope
that every one here will do all in
their power to help them in this
useful and necessary undertake

Strike in The South Fork.

A rich shoot of ore was opened
in the South Fork mine, last
week. The ore is in the old
Espey tunnel, that was run sew
eral years ago on a cross vein.
The ore in this tunnel was very
high grade, and was sorted and
put through a small mill. The
vein was not large and after the
South Fork vein was discovered
it was abandoned. Recently the
company started work in the
tunnel, and the vein Widened out
and q rich shoot was encounter
ed. Where the ore was found
there is not much depth. but the
tunnel will gain depth rapidly as
lit is driven ahead. The ore will
be hauled to the mill.
The vein in the lower tunnel
on the main vein, has been CROSS
cut and is about 6 ft. wide, and
carries good milling values. The
vein is being drifted on to dc
termine the size of the shoot.

Stanley LhchlieId Has
Fine Showing.
THIRTY FEET OF GOOD ORE
GOSd Depth Obtained BY Tunnel.
Now Constructing Ditch.

The work of developing the
White Fir group of claims, sit
uated about three miles east of
Elk City, has disclosed one of
the largest bodies of ore ever
shown in this district.
The White Fir group is owned
by Stanley w. Litchfeld, and is
composed of three claims, all of
them being on the vein. The
claims are patented so the title is
perfect. The strike of the vein
is east and west, and the claims
are located from the American
river east 45O0 feet. The vein
follows a very high ridge. and a
great depth can be had from the
American river side, where all
the work has been done.
The vein on the surface on the
west end is covered by a heavy
wash, and can only be seen
where it has been uncovered,
but to the east the vein crops
and shows its strength for a long
distance, with an average width
of 80 feet.
The development work that
has been done consists of a cross
cut tunnel, which cuts the vein
at 210 ft. with a depth of $50 fit.
The vein is then followed for
distance of 200 it,, the work be-
ing in the foot wall. A cross
cut in the vein near the breast of
the tunnel, shows 80 ft. of good
milling ore, with a three foot
streak of high grade on both
walls. Where the vein is enter
ed by the crossGcut it is badly
broken, but for only a short dis
ta1ce, when it takes its course
and with a strcng dip to the
south holds it's own to the end
of the tunnel.
In several open cuts on the
surface it shows the ore shoot to
be about 300 ft. long, and by for
the best surface showing is some
distance ahead of the tunnel.
The vein has never been thor
oughly sampled for assay, but
while doing the work paintings
were made every day. In the
cross-cut the entire 30 ft. will
pan. and the ore near either
wall shows coarse gold in the
paintings.
The ore in the vein is very soft
and we'll oxidized, and is very
free, and it is expected that a
large percentage of the values
can be saved on the plates. The
foot wall is a soft, dikey material
and carries some values, while
the hanging wall is a hard close
grained diorite.
The breast of the tunnel has a
depth of 25O ft. and considerable
more can be had as the tlinnel is
driven ahead. Mr.. Litchfeld
has done all the work himself,
and the greatest part has been
done the past year.
The claims are ideally located

Inspecting North and South Highway.

Inspecting North and South Highway.
Last week State Engineer King
made a trip of inspection over
the proposed north and south
route for state highway. While
in Grangeville he was given a
reception by the Commercial
club, and the Free Press has the
following:
Two of the most vital road
building plans in Idaho county
that of constructing the connect
ing link from Meadows to
Grangeville to complete the pro-
posed north and south state road
and the project to build high
way over the old Nez Perce trail
to connect with Montana-were
given a substantial boost this
week when State Engineer King
visited the city and county in the
interest of the new state high
way commission Of which he is
a member.
A. F. Parker was one Of the
principal speakers, calling atten-
ton of Mr.. King and the club
members present to the import
ance of better roads and laying
particular stress upon the nee
essity of the immediate construc-
tion of a wagon road over the
route of the old Nez Perce trail
to provide an opening from the
east. Under present condi-
tions," Mr.. Parker said, "the
people of this prairie and most
of the county are virtually hem
med in, for we have practically
no outlet to the south, the east,
or the west. The. building of a
read over the old Nez Perce trail
would be of great Importance to
this county, a county which
spends more than any other
in the state for the improvement
and construction of her highways.
The need of d north and south
road is too universally known
and realized to call for extended
comment
County Commissioner Petit
bone also spoke heartily in favor
of the Nez Perce plan and sug-
gested a route via. Magruder
mountain which lie believed
would be most practical.
! w. W. Brown called attention
to the necessity of a north and
south road to serve both parts of
state and maintained that owing
to the. nature of the country and
the character of the proposed
read it would necessarily have to
be a state road, to be construct
ed and kept up by the state at
large.

Willingness on the part Of the

MAKING GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Map and Oiher Valuable Data TO Be
Published.
Dixie, July s, 1913.

Dixie, July 8, 1918.
The Glorious Fourth in Dixie
this year will long be remember
ed by those who were in camp,
for largely through the efforts
of S. R. Gayton of the Penn
Dixie Co., and Mrs. Geo. Trader
an excellent program was carried
OFT, and the occasion will long
be remembered as a pleasant
one. The dance in the evening
was we'll attended and the music
excellent. The supper served by
by the ladies was all that could
be desired.
Prof. D. C. Livingston, of the
mining department of the state
university, who is in camp MAX
ing a prelimary survey with
view of plotting the essential
geological features of this dis
trict, was asked to make a few
remarks. He said in part:
"On first coming to Idaho two
years ago | was surprised at the
little information available on the
mining districts of the central
part of Idaho and discussed the
matter on several occasions with
Prof. G. A. Stewart of the geo.
logical department. Last sum-
mer an attempt was made to
make a reconnaissance of part Of
the state, but was abandoned for
lack of sufficient funds. Prof.
Stewart worked hard during the
last session of the legislature to
obtain a small appropriation for
a state geological survey. A bill
was introduced but was defeated.
We then decided TO devote a por-
ton of the summer vacation to
the making of a survey of one of
the little known mining districts
and after some deliberation Dixie
was decided upon. Tie new
board of control of the University
saw fit to allow us sufficient
money for our personal expenses
and small amount for help
where necessary, and thanks are
due to them for making the work
possible. | expect Prof. Stewart
in next week, and am at present
engaged in a preliminary survey
of The camp. Just what we will
be able to accomplish is rather
difficult to say at present as
there is a lot of ground to cover
and our party is a small one.
We hope however to be able to
plot the essential geological fea-
lures of the greater part of the
camp, which map we hope tc
publish, with other data in the
form of bulletin, during the
winter, and we hope that this
bulletin will be of value to those
operating in the camp and DOS
sible investors and visiting en-.
/, gineers.

! are extremely pleasant, as l have
met with the greatest kindnes!

ARCTIC CLAIMS MORE VICTIMS
A German-Norwegian Exploring Party
q Believed to Have Perlshed in
the Far North.

London, Eng.-Details of one of the
worst tragedies of modern Arctic ex-
ploration are filtering through from
Widge Bay, the northernmost point of
Spitzbergen, where the German expe-
dition under Lieut.. Schroeder-Stranz
was lost last winter.
The exploring party, which was
composed of eleven Germans and five
Norwegians, set out in June last in
the ship Herzog Ernst, under com.
mand of Captain Ritscher.
The failure of the relief parties to
find the Schroeder-Stranz party leaves
small room for doubt that it's men,
bers persisted, but the search for
them will be resumed in June.

here. The indictments set forth in
stances wherein it is alleged the laws
were violated by the Vandalia; Cleve-

lating the Elkins Act of 1908.
Possible Fines Total $2,63o,ooo.
The penalty that may be imposed
for violating the Elkins law in case
of conviction is a minimum fine of
$1,000 on each count and a maximum
of 100000 for each count, or $780,
900 for the sixty-three counts.
In the conspiracy charge, however,
there is no. minimum, and the COM
panies may be fined $4,000 for each
of the seven counts, making $4,000,
or $1.35O,OOO for the sixty-one counts.
One of the most startling facts the
government hopes to establish is that
the O'Gara Coal Company, a New
York corporation, is virtually owned
by the Big Four, or by the New York
Central, which, in turn, owns the Big
Four. This belief is strengthened by
the belief that T. j. O'Gara of New
York, president OF the O'Gara Coal
Company, with other officers of the
company, learned that the grand Jury
was working on the charges and hur-
