FAVOR THE MOVEMENT
FOR |NEBR|ATE ASYLUM
Judges Mu|Iowny and Pugh and
Assistant Attorney Given
Express Approval.

Judges Mullowny and Pugh of the
Police Court and Assistant United
States Attorney Ralph Given are
strongly in favor of the establishment
of an inebriate asylum in the District.
In exercising the duties of their re-
spective offices all of these officers are
thrown in touch with habitual drunk
ards. and for many years they have
been in a position to study the needs
of this unfortunate class of society.
They declare that an inebriate asylum
where habitual drunkards and Migrants
can be treated is one of the great
needs of Washington today. Judge
Mullowny. who has been Judge of the
Police Court for number of years,
and who was prosecuting attorney in
the United States branch of the court
for many years prior to his first appoint
ment as Judge, has had opportunities
of observing hundreds, if not thou
sands. of the humans long addicted to
the excessive use of alcohol Judge
MulIowny today said the workhouse is
not the place for those who are ad-
dicted to the excessive use of LIQUOR.
He pointed out also that other cities
of the same size as Washington are
equipped with such institutions.
Judge Pugh Gives Views.
Judge Pugh. who was formerly prose-
cutting attorney, has recently finished a
year as judge of the lower branch of the
court and says that during that time
greater number of unfortunates
who required hospital treatment rather
than Jail sentences were brought before
him than in any previous year
1.-THE number of these unfortunates will
increase with the growth of the city,
under present conditions the judge said.
ANY one so far gone to be brought
into court on a charge of habitual drunk
enness cannot be cured of the taste for
liquor with the limited treatment we can
now recommend for them, and they ought
not to be sent to jail
I'm this way" the judge continued. I'VE
cure no one. and new ones. the victims of
conditions. must constantly appear If we
had the hospital which has been advo-
Gated these unfortunate people could be
kept there for six months, or year, or
four years. depending on how long 1t took
to effect a cure in their individual cases.
would say that there is certainly no
greater need today in Washington than
for an inebriate asylum. BY that /
don't intimate that have larger
class of this kind than other cities. Any
city that is not equipped with such an
asylum is most certainly in dire need of
such an institution

LEDGE
ON SAB|NA GROUP
THOROUGHLY DEFINED, IN GOOD
LOCALITY AND HAVING
GOOD VALUES.

The group known as til Sabina, To-
Gated on the point of the divide be-
tween Granite and Cedar creeks, has
been attracting considerable attention
in recent weeks. 1t lies about three
quarters of mile north of divide at
the head of East Nine Mile, not far
distant from both the Hercules and
Sunset localities, and in one Of the
most promising partially developed
districts in the camp
BY open cuts and otherwise on the
surface the ledge has been exposed for
several hundred feet. A tunnel has
been run on the ledge and is now in
some 200 feet This is said to gain IN
depth about foot per foot. Those who
have seen the property lately say
there has been followed an ideally
perfect ledge, with two well defined
walls and in the face at the present
time about four feet of highly miner
allied ledge matter and quartz. Gray
copper, running well in silver value, is
found near each wall,
Three men are employed thare at

FEET IN BoTroM-HlGH
GRADE GAuENA.

August Gren and Frank Macki, ac-
lively engaged in developing the Blue
Star, Il property just east of the mouth
of Pine creek We're in Wallace yester-
day. They brought with them some
excellent zinc and lead-silver ore from
the winze now being sunk from drift
from the 300-foot station in the shaft
Frequent reference has been made to
this work in former issues of The
Miner The winze is some 200 feet
from the shaft and is now down 4S
feet There are over seven feet of fair
grade milling ore in the bottom. While
the winze was started on fair show
ing of ore there has been marked i'm
proyement, both in character and
quantity of ore as the work has pro
gressed.
The lead ore has the appearance of
running high in silver. and this is
characteristic of it in other places.
The purpose of the Blue Star COM
pany is to sink the main shaft 800
feet deeper, ana the SINKING OF TINS
winze is preliminary explora tion while
preparations are being made for the
bigger work. Already there Is a con-
Siderable accumulation of good ore
from the wnze. No stated depth is
fixed for sinking the winze, but it will
probably be put down as far as prac-
tioabe and so good a showing con-

Reliable reports from the Great
Western the first of the week were to
the effect that there had been u feet
Of crosscutting from the shaft and
that all this had been in milling ore.
The width of the shaft has from. the
first been in good ore and it would
appear from this report that at the
point of crosscutting there Is at least
18 feet of marketable ore, with the
full width yet unknown, While but o
small force has been employed there
has been continuous work at the poinr
where the strike was made some
months ago The results have been
most encouraging in every respect.
The company is perfecting arrange
ments at near date to use the cleo
trio power with which it is already
equipped, and the work will then b.
pushed with much more speed
The Great Western strike has given
evidence from the first of being j
most important one.

REPORT THAT ON, R8N. COMPANY|S
PREPARING TO ENTER SUNSET DISTRICT
A CANYON CREEK ACROSS THE DIVIDE INTO NINE
MILE CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED
THE

According to reports, apparently
Pacific will not have an exclusive
field in the Sunset district. The Nine
Mile branch now gives the Northern
monopoly of the large and rapidly
section and the popular impression
has been that the extension of that
line to the Interstate Callahan. which
now seems probable, would effectual-
long fight for right of way, with the
ultimate outcome very much in doubt
o..W. r. 4 N. Not Idle.
But given an amount of tonnage
that will insure long. steady and pro-
fitable business, and modern railway
engineering can be depended upon to
find way to reach it. While all talk
of railway transportation to Sunset
sion of the Northern Pacific, 1t now
seems that the O.-W. r. & N. has been
silently saving wood OF course, it
has long been known that the O.-W.
r. g. N. has line located from the
mouth of Beaver creek. on it's Murray
branch, up to the head of that stream,
to the base of Sunset peak on the
North Side which givs it easy access
to numerous great properties which
will most likely in time send their out
put out that way. But the location of
that line is preparing for the future
What the O.-W. r. & N. needs is a
chance to share in the Sunset am
Nine Mile business of today, for the
business is there and is increasing by
leaps and. bounds.
Entirely New Route.
With this end in view it appears
that the O.-W r. & N. is preparing
to spring a surprise on it's great rival.
1t is reported that the company has
carefully Investigated a route which
will start a mile or so above Gem
gradually climb the south slope OF
Canyon creek, passing high above Gem
and on down until the low divide be-
tween Canyon creek and Nine Mile l.
reached. at point in the vicinity OF
the old road leading from Canyon
creek to the Granite, now the Success
mine. From here the road would con
tinue high up on the slope of the east
fork of Nine Mile, passing in close
touch with the Tamarack- Custer
within easy reach Of the Interstate
Callahan and accessible TO the work
ings of the Sunset mine.
Has Investigated Route.
Whether the O.-W. r. 4 N. ha'
made survey Of this route is no
known, but there is good reason tt
believe that the company has given i
careful inspection with the view t
constructing the line if found feasible
This presents new and highly in
teresting phase to the Sunset trans
portation question and the next NOV
will be watched with great interest

PROGRESS Of SINKING
At THE SUNSET MINE
DOWN ABOUT $50 FEET-TO Ex.
pLoRe LEDGE ON 400
FOOT LEVEL.

At Senator Clark's Sunset mine
sinking is steadily in progress ana
good headway is being made in this
necessarily slow work The shaft Is
now said to be about $50 feet deep, l.
is planned to carry 1t to the 400. From
there a drift will be run to the ledge.
This shaft is perpendicular, sunk
in the formation. a short distance
north of the ledge, The course of the
ledge is nearly east and west, slight
ly northwest and southeast 1t dip
south and therefore as depth Is gain.
ed in the shaft the ledge is farther
from it.
AT the 2oo-foot level it was neces
sary to crosscut from the shaft a dis
tance of about so feet 1t is gener-
ally understood that there was an ore
body here over 80 feet wide. Much
drifting was done and the ledge Oh
this level was explored to II consider
able extent. Details of development
We're not given out to the public, but
enough came from unquestioned
sources to clearly indicate that the
owners and management were en-
tirely pleased with results of the
work. e"
| It is probable that exploration sim
liar to that on the 200 level will take
place on the 400-foot. 1t is estimat-
ed that the distance to crosscut to the
ledge on this level will be from 12'
to 140 feet.
The additional sinking to the 400
foot, the crosscutting and an indefn
ite amount of drifting and crosscut
ting the ledge at other places will n
doubt consume the winter months.
Should this work prove as satisfac
tory as that on the level above ther
are many reasons to believe tha
much deeper development will be un
dertaken, most likely through lon
tunnel. The mine location is par
ticularly favorable to this method o
opening, in some respects more faN
orabie than other mines of the dis
trict already developed in that way.
The development of the Sunset min
by Senator Clark has had the effeC
of greatly stimulating activit
throughout the district the results O

far reaching.

To the Editor of The Miner
In preparation for the forthcoming
trial of the suit brought by minority
stockholders of Federal Mining X
Smelling company against the Amer
lean Smelling a. Refining company IN
the supreme court of New York, the
latter has engaged certain experts to
gather evidence in the Occur d'Alene
district. Among the diagrams prepai-
ed under their supervision is one which
shows in the shape of segmented
circle the amount of ore produced by
all active concerns in the district for
the years 1sos-12, inclusive.
Four Years Record.
Federal is credited with an averag sc
of 121,524 tons a year, or 1924 per cent
of the Coeur d'Alene total production.
Bunker Hill & Sullivan, 6S456 tons,
2605 per cent.
Hecla, 1922 tons. 1888 per cent.
Stewart, 1886 tons, 5.12 per cent.
Hunter, 1915 tons, 2.90 per cent.
Ontario 217S tons, o.83 per cent.
Alice, Ss2 tons, O33 per cent.
Marsh, 755 tons. 0.29 per cent
Caledonia. 421 tons, O.16 per cent.
All other mines, 9S5 tons, OBJ per
cent.
From this it will be seen that the
American Smelling e. Refining com
pany. during the years covered by TINS
compilation, has secured well over 80
per cent Of all ore from the district

International and other Independent
concerns.
