MACHINERY FOR TARBOX
TO EXTEND THE SHAFT
MANAGEMENT PLANS TO PLACE
PROPERTY IN POSITION
TO PRODUCE.

! Richard DaXon, manager of the
Tarbox Mining company, returned
from Butte yesterday where he had
been for the past few months in the
interest Of his company. He had
practically succeeded in raising neces-
sary funds through the sale of treas
ury stock to equip the Tarbox with all
necessary machinery and resume de-
velopment of the property when the
miners union disturbance upset his
plans and he had to begin all over
again. Again he was successful and
again his work was undone by the
European war which has so seriously
interfered with mining investments
generally Owing to these unfortun-
ate circumstances the company was
confronted with the necessity of levy
ing an assessment of u mills to en-
able it to install the new hoist, boilers
and pump which have been purchased
before bad weather sets in. The orig
inal plant was destroyed by the forest
fire several years ago.
Development Work
The main shaft on the Tarbox is
down 400 feet. From this level drifts
have been run, exposing much ore of
good milling grade. From one of these
drifts winze has been sunk 200 feet,
giving total depth of 600 and demon
strating the existence of extensive
commercial ore bodies. 1t is the pur-
pose Of the management, upon the in
stallation of the new machinery, to
extend the main shaft 900 feet, which
will render more accessible the ore
bodies already explored.
Manager Daxon states that the COM
pany has approximately 100000 shares
Of treasury stock, and he expects to
find ready market for this stock as
soon as the property is in active op-
Grafton, which will obviate the neces-
sity for further assessments to place
the mine on a productive basis.
Packer Creek Properties Active.
The Tarbox is located on Packer
creek, near Saltese, section which
is showing much mining activity just
now. Adjoining the Tarbox is the
Meadow Mountain, from which ore
shipments are now being made, two
teams being engaged in hauling ore
to the railroad. The Hemlock Is re-
ported to have developed fine ore
shoot in the shaft and a carload of oro
is now on the dump for shipment Al
together the situation on Packer creek
is highly satisfactory and the outlook
most encouraging.

THE BLACK TRAVELLER
TO Be DEVELOPED
PROPERTY NEAR SAlTESE HAS
A GOOD SHOWING OF
COPPER ORE.

The Black Traveller. one of the old
and prominent mining properties in
the Saltese district, is again to be the
scene of considerable activity. 1t is
located on the east fork of Packer
creek, about six miles from Saltese,
and about three miles from the branch
,ilroad up Packer creek. r, e, Seys-
ler administrator of the estate of the
late Scott Harris, who was one Of the
heaviest stockholders in the Black
Traveller, recently visited the property
with other interested parties. and the
result of their inspection was 50 sat
isfactory that it was decided to lot a
contract for its further development.
For this purpose the directors held a
meeting and levied an assessment of
five mills.
Present Development.
For over half nile the Black Trav
cuts and which have exposed a re-
markably strong vein Of iron carbon
ates with good values in copper A
shaft has been sunk about 20 feet on
the vein. A crosscut has also been
run to the vein distance of about
500 feet and a drift has been extended
about 800 feet. The vein shows from
one to four feet of low grade copper
ore The showing is highly encourag-
ing and It Is believed that the extern
sion of the drift will encounter COM
mercial ore. The purpose Of the COM
pany is now to drive the drift to a
point under the shaft q distance OF
about 500 feet. and which will give a
depth Of about 900 feet on the vein.
The officers and directors of the
company are AL Roof. president; DR.
Bean, secretary and Mr.. Bryan, all OF
Mullan: Mr.. Luedke of Saltese, and
r. f. Seysler of Wallace.

THE RE|NDEER.QUEEN
PREPARES FOR WORK
FAILURE OF POOL RENDERS AS.
SESSMENT NECESSARY FOR
DEVELOPMENT.

A meeting Of the directors OF the
Reindeer Queen Mining company was
held last week when an assessment of
2 mills per share was levied and the
plans made for resumption Of work.
at the property. When the Reindeer
and the Copper Queen companies were
consolidated last fall it was expected
that the combined properties could be
developed without the peeNssity of
levying an assessment, and to this
end stockholders in both the original
companies We're requested to send in
their stock to be exchanged for certi-
fcates In the new company, the new
certificates to be retained in the office
Of the company until January |, 1919,
This was in effect a pool Of the stock
and was proposed as n means of pro-
tectng the market in order to enable
the fiscal agent OF the company to dis
pose Of treasury stock. Most of the
stockholders promptly sent in their
stock as requested, but a few declin-
ed to come into the deal and these de-
feated the plan.
| Stock Returned to Owners.
The recent meeting of the directors
instructed the secretary, J. III. Wixom,
to return the stock to the owners ac-
companied by a circular letter explain
ing the action of the company, from
which the following is an extract:
"There are 10 unpatented claims,
which require the expenditure of $1,000
each year for development and i'm
provement to prevent forfeiture. The
present Indebtedness of the company
is about $500, which is carried by the
officers of the company who have ad-
vanced money for the expense Of in
corporation and work at the mine last
year. 1t is desired that these bills be
paid without further delay, and that
regular development work be at once
commenced and continued without in
terrupton. To raise the necessary
money for these purposes an assess
ment of two mills per share has been
levied on the stock of the company
notice of which accompanies this
statement. The board Of directors
have also released the stock from poo
and your certificates are enclosed here
with.
"The plan under consideration IS tt

deer property to tap the ledge at q
low depth, under the big surface show
ing of the old Copper Queen company
which must be driven nearly 1900 feet
Investigation is being made to asccr'
tain the cost Of this work"
At this meeting Of the directors p
p. Weber resigned and the vacancy or
the board was filed by the election OF
D. e. Keys. The officers and direct.
ors of the company are e. B. Craw'
ford, president; John G. Glahe, vice
president; Walter B. Hetfeld, treas
urer j. f. Wixom, secretary; direct
ors-E. b. Crawford, John c. Glahe
s. D. Lemieux, d. r. Keys and A. p
McRae. The property is located above
Mulan near the "S" bridge and the
development work up to this time has
been largely confined to the original
Reindeer ground.

POWER TO LEASE.
Vested Solely in Board of Directors
Not Individual Officers.

Recognizing that control of min
ing corporations affairs is vested in its
board Of directors, the Arizona su-
preme court has just handed down a
decision in the case Of Franklin VS..
Havalena Mining company, 141 Pa
cific Reporter, 727. holding that a lease
of such a company's property made
eral manager without authority from
the directors is invalid. And the court
goes further by saying that even &
majority Of the stockholders could not
validly ratify lease and sale of the
property at much less than its actual
value to the prejudice of minority
stockholders.

THE HEMLOCk.
Packer Creek Property Has Ore Now
Reedy for Shipment.

Parties visiting the Saltese district
within the last few days give most
flattering report Of the showing on the
Hemlock, a property located up Pac-
ker creek and which is being develop
cd almost wholly by Saltese capital
A shaft has been sunk on the property
and drifting has disclosed a fine show
ing Of ore. This is being sorted and
there is now a carload Of ore on the
dump ready for shipment. The Hem
lock Is fortunate in having railroad
within a few feet Of the shaft and Is
therefore enabled to deliver ore on the
cars at the minimum expense.

THE HAPPY DAY.
Quartz Strineer Carrying Galena !
Still BeInq Followed.

Still Beng Followed.
On August 81 the Happy Day Mining
company will let contract for con-
tinuing the main tunnel so feet. This
tunnel for several hundred feet has
been following quartz stringer which
is apparently leading direct to the
vein. 1t varies in width from two to
three inches to six or eight inches and
is always accompanied with more or
less gacna. Much confidence Is felt
that a good ore shoot will be found
where this stringer unites with the
vein. The uncertainty Of the dip of
the vein renders it impossible to give
close estimate as to the distance yet
to be run, but it Is regarded as moro
than probable that the vein will be
reached with the completion of the
contract now to be let.

THE GUELPH.
Work Is Again in Progress on This
Promising Property.

John Steffes Of Kellogg, secretary
and manager of the Guelph Mining
company was in the city yesterday.
Accompanied by o. F. Smith, a min.
ing engineer of Milton, Ore, he went
up to the mine yesterday morning for
the purpose of deciding upon plans for
further development Of the property.
Two men have been at work for sew
eral weeks drifting on the vein and
additional men will be put on as soon
as the plans Of the management are
matured. 1t Is not improbable that
shaft will be sunk on the vein, start
ing at a favorable point on the SUR
face.

VETERAN JOURNALIST
DIES AT PASCAG0ULA
P. X. MEYERS WAS ONLY sURvIv-
ING MEMBER OF MISSISSIPPI
PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Word reaches here from Pascagoula
of the death of Capt P. X. Mayors,
aged 81, nestor of the Mississippi
press, a notable figure in the fight
against carpetbagger rule, and the only
surviving charter member of the Mis-
sissippi Press Association.
The veteran journalist remained in
harness almost to the end, quitting his
post as editor of the Pascagoula Demo
crat-Star only when forced to do so
by the illness that resulted in his
death. Practically his entire life had
been spent in newspaper work. He
served his apprenticeship ON the Pauld-
ing Clarion, edited by Simeon Adams,
a noted journalist of ante bellum days,
whose paper was later moved to jack
son and merged with the State Ledger.
At the age of % he founded the
Handsboro Democrat, which he was
editing at the outbreak of the civil
war, quitting the tripod to organize a
cavalry company, of which he was
chosen captain In 1881 he took charge
of the Democrat-Star at Pascagoula,
and continued as its editor until his
death.

1.-THE present bill is constructed en-

know until the bill was presented to
the Senate that there was any division
among the members of the committee

IF it is proposed to withdraw gov

the future policy of the government
frankly and openly avowed. Until
such a change in the policy has been

him leisure to apply his mind to the
things which concern his everlasting
salvation and his present usefulness
to society.
The fourth commandment, however,
was not written upon the tablet of
stone arbitrarily as religious rite and
for religious observance only. 1t is
written into the very constitution Of
the race. AS physical, moral and re
ligious necessity it was embodied in
the law. Gods curse has always fol-
lowed persistent violation of the Sab
bath. To encroach upon it's sacredness
is to lower the morals of a people.
With the passing of the Sabbath goes
both morals and religion. This has
always been true. No nation or people
have ever maintained a high moral
character-in fact they have invari-
ably degenerated in all those qualities
worth while-who have turned the
Sabbath into day of revelry or who
have in any way commercialized it.
Poor old France, in some respects
because of the violation of Gods law
moral leper among nations, tried
abOlishing the Sabbath during her
bloody revolution, but the moral con-
dition of her men and women declined
to such a degree that she was forced
to return to some sort of observance
of the day. She did not reinstate
the Sabbath out of religious con-
viction, but to preserve and protect the
moral welfare of her people.
We dare not continue to violate
Gods holy law it is suicidal to per-
sistently break any of the laws of the
state. Let us all love one another and
pull tremendously together for the
better enforcement of law, and the
building up of our community morally
and religiously. Let the business man
who sells his goods obey the law and
the man who buys these goods obey
the law. Then we may look for Gods
ichest blessing upon the labor of
our hands.

STATE FINANCES TIGHT
UNTIL BONDS DELIVERED
TREASURER REPORTS ONLY $685..
627 is NOW IN THE
STRONG BOX.

Jackson, Miss, July 30.-The tight
ened condition of the state finances
still continues, according to the last
Official count and check as made by
Treasurer Stovall and verified by Gov.
Brewer. This count was made yester-
day afternoon, when the balance was
found to be $9S, 627.46, made up of land
redemption fund, banking department
fund, bank guarantee fund, cash items
on hand and general fund account.
While the item general fund"
showed a balance of $57,273.69, prac-
tically all of this is in United States
government funds, to be devoted to
educational and agricultural and farm
extension work, and can not be used
for meeting general obligations. The
banking department fund on hand
amounted to $14,736.1S, which can not
be used otherwise than in meeting the
expenses of conducting this new de-
partment and cannot be used to cover
general expenses.
Treasurer Stovall does not antici-
pate relief of the present financial
stringency until after the new state
bonds are delivered, and the remain
ing $725,OOO belonging to the bond is
sue fund is paid in by the bond buy
ers, which will not be or some weeks
yet.

THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR
MAN.

Editor News:
wish to endorse the admirable ar
ticle by Rev. E. D. Solomon in Tues
days issue of The News and to put
myself on public record as favoring
strict observance of the Sabbath and
impartial enforcement of law.
1t does not seem hardly necessary
to say to any moral, intelligent citizen
that the Christian Church is friend
to every man: that it is unse!fishly
seeking his highest moral and spirit
ual interest, and that it is doing its
best to relieve all suffering, promote
human happiness and make this world
better place in which to live. For
anyone to deny this is to impeach the
testimony Of the best men and women
in the community and to discount his
own mentality and discredit his own
moral character.
The effort to enforce the Sunday
law is not an attempt to compel men
to be religious by forcing them to at
tend services at the churches, nor is
there any sort of disposition on the
part of the men and women of the
community to sit quietly by without
protest and permit certain violations
of law that tend to train people to
wrong conceptions of the Sabbath and
to disrespect for law. For the VIC
lation of any law with common con
sent of officers and people breeds con.
tempt for all law
The proper observance of the Sab
bath is necessary to the preservation
of the best in church and state. The
Sabbath was made for man, and not
man for the Sabbath The force of
the argument is this: The Sabbath
was made on account Of man. not man
on account of the Sabbath. 1t was in
stituted for his benefit, that he might
refresh and renew his body, fatigued
and worn by six days labor, with the
restful calm of the seventh. 1t gives
