Asked regarding operations at the

progress was being made in driving

level
Some Ore Coming In.
He VISA not disposed to credit the
published report that full face of
shipping ore had been encountered,
although there was a marked improve
ment when he last visited the mine a
few days ago. At that time there was
probably three feet of fair milling ore,
lying mostly in two streaks on each
side of the face of the tunnel This
he regarded as very encouraging, as
the ore they had been following, from
to inches, had been confined to one
wall with no ore on the opposite side.
The appearance Of ore in increased
quantity and on both sides in the face
gives encouragement that a full face
of ore may show up in a short dis
lance.
Short, But Good Ore Shoot.
About 100 feet back the drift passed
through what was believed to be
big and continuous ore shoot of fine
milling ore with big streaks of first
class. But it lasted for only about 10
feet, when it disappeared and no ore
has been in evidence until the APP
pearance Of that above referred to- ex-
cept the few inches that has persist
entity followed the wall. Several tons
Of shipping ore were sorted from this
shoot which assayed S2h per cent
lead and 12h ounces in silver. so
sure was the management that the
long sought ore shoot had been reach
ed that sorting room was hurriedly
but by the time it was
the ore had disappeared
Under Big outcrop.
The ore now coming in, Mr.. Ahrens
says, corresponds in It's location TO
the big outcrop on the surface. The
length of the tunnel is now 2431 feet.
Of this $40 feet is crosscut to reach
the vein and 1491 feet have been drift
ed on the vein. The vein has also been
by crosscuts amounting to
Isl feet.

MECHANICAL SAOvEl|NG
IN UNDERGROUND WORK
MANY ATTEMPTS TO EXPEDITE
THIS WORk-AS YET NO
COMPLETE SUCCESS.

Many attempts have been made to
perfect machine which would do the
hard and expensive work of shoveling
broken rock underground says the
Mining and Scientific Press, San
Francisco. At the surface steam
shovels, grab buckets and similar de-
vices are available, and to a limited
extent the smaller steam shovels, us
ually driven by compressed air or cleo
tricity, are in use in the mines. Or
dinarily they can not be used because
the quarters are too cramped. This is
especially true in tunnel work where
speed Is all important and where, ac
cordingly, mechanical shoveling would
be especially important.
ShoveIing Is Constant Problem.
Every experienced tunnel driver
realizes that the essential problem is
how to get rid of the broken rock in
the shortest possible time. In coal
mines and in all properties where the
loading is done from the floor, the cost
of shoveling is serious, and any relief
will be welcome. In driving one of the
long adits in the Occur d'Alene region
(No. Morning mine, Mullan) Thomas
Cox used a mechanical conveyor for
loading cars and greatly expedited his
work. Even here, however, it was
necessary to have men shovel from the
floor to the conveyor, though there
was great gain in that the broken
feet.
Seems Successful ShoveIer.
The Myers Whaley company is now
manufacturing mechanical shoveler.
This machine is in use in coal, iron,
salt and lead mines, and in contract
ing work on the Catskill aqueduct. 1t

A No. machine working in q lead
mine at Flat River, Mo-, is reported
to be averaging one ton per minute on
the day shift and little less at night.

1912. It's output in April for 22 DAYS

Alaska Gold and Silver.

Since mining began in Alaska in
1880 the gold placers of the territory
have yielded 7.4Ss.491 fine ounces of
gold, valued at $154,S0O.s75. These
mines have also produced 1.652,Ol5
fine ounces Of silver, with CONNER

Further, the letter stated that this

planning booklet, which was signed by
A. M. Strobe, Is the owner of four
saloons, whose revenue had been dim
inished many thousand dollars per
annum after the establishing of this
boarding house, two miles from Null
Ian.
Agent Investigates.
An agent of the department of jus
tice was commissioned to investigate
and ascertain the facts in the case,
and driving up from Wallace to Null
Ian in an auto, he found the Federal
boarding house about 800 feet from
the limits of the village and about
1900 feet from the center Of town and
the postoffice. Evidence of the dis
elimination Of the Federal company in
favor Of the United Stores was easily
obtained on every hand. and the coun-
ty records showed no trace of a saloon
license ever having been issued to
Strobe or Stroud, and no one could
be found who had any knowledge of
his ever having been in any way con-
nected with the saloon business.
Thus. the agents report to the de-
partment at Washington sums up the
incident by saying that every state
ment made in that letter is proven to
be absolutely false. except that the
Federal company did build boarding
house at the Morning mine.

NEW AND POPULAR FABRICS
That They Lend Themselves to the
Graceful Draperics Demanded 10
Their Recommendation.

The touch OF the Oriental that is
noticed in the spring styles requires
that fabric be used which lends It.
self readily to graceful drapery. One
particularly adaptable material is
etamine, which is more popular this
spring than 1t has been for several
seasons. The robes. Of handdrawn
etamine are truly beautiful. The
drawn-work appears in bands of grad
uated widths. forming very hand
some border for the robe. A narrow
band Of drawn.work is done along the
opposite edge of the material to be
used for the smaller trimmings. These
Examines come in all the vivid shades
that are to be 80 much used.
Among the silks. fluer de sole. a
new form Of taffeta with an extremely
soft finish, falls in the most graceful
lines. It comes in very new and I'M
usual tones. in both plain and figured
surfaces. The floral designs that ap-
pear on many of these new silks seem
somewhat stir at first sight. but one
soon realizes how very well suited
they are to the period costumes SO
affected by our best gowned women.
Some Of the new patterns now in
vogue are exact copies Of some Of
those used in France at the time Of
the empire.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
