STEWART EARNINGS
MAKE BIG SHOWING
COMMENT OF EASTERN MINING
PAPER ON ITS RECORD
THIS YEAR.

The great dividend record of the
Stewart Mining company is attract
ing much attention and Great ting a
strong demand for the stock. If the
question of control of the property
was settled and settled right, there
is no doubt that the price Of stock
would advance far above the present
figure. Commenting on Stewart earn
ings, the New York Mining Age says:
Profits Compared With Last Year.
"The Stewart Mining company made
the remarkable statement during the
week that net February earnings Were
$4,000. These compared with $685.
300 for the same month in 1913 and
January earnings of $4,000. They
ings for the last three months of 1871?
Of approximately 1900. Because Of
climatic conditions February is usu-
ally a bad month for Stewart. Feb
ruary is short month, too.
THE effect of the news was instan-
aneous. The stock advanced in the
market from $1A to 81 Tie. Hereto
fore the fact that the Assets Reaiza-
ton company is carrying a block of
approximately 100000 shares of the
stock has effectually held the market
price of the shares down, the assump-
ion being that this stock has been
pressing for sale. Now professionals
opine that the Assets Realization COM
pany can afford to sit tight and
draw down its money in dividends
rather than sacrifice the stock at
such foolishly low prices as prevail
stewart is certainly making good in
remarkable way from a mining
standpoint. But for the continual
gossip about the Assets Realization
company being forced to dispose of
the stock it holds and rumors of the
sale of control to either the Federal
Mining company or the American
Smelling & Refining company the
stock might easily sell up to around
49,"

MUST SPEAK ENGLISH.
Provisions of the New Law Applying
to Work Underground.

on January l a new law went int
effect in Nevada requiring all under
ground employees at mines to speak
English. While such a law may work
n hardship on some of the mine en-
ployes in that state there is no doubt
but that it will tend to promote great
err safety and efficiency in mining. The
enactment of such a law was favored
by the state mine inspector and the
miners union in various camps.
Section ] of the law enacted is as
follows:
1T shall be unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to employ in any
underground mine in the state of Ne
vada, or in the handling Of explosives
either in underground mines or sur
face mine workings in the state OF
Nevada any person or persons who
can not clearly speak and readily un-
derstand the English language, OF
who can not readily read and under
stand any sign, notice or list of rules,
or directions printed in the English
language in regard to rules Of safety
in said underground mine, or in the
handling of said explosives"
Section 2 deals with penalties for
violations and Is as follows:
ANY person, firm or corporation vi
olating any of the provisions of this
Gnt shall be deemed guilty Of a mis-
demeanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by fine of not less
than one hundred dollars. nor more
than five hundred dollars, or by i'm
prisonment in the county jail for not
more than six months, or by botf
such fine and Imprisonment"

ORE BLOCKED OUT
WILL LAST 7 YEARS
THIS is REPORT OF NOTED EN-
GINEER WHO RECENTLY Ex-
AHMED THE PROPERTY. h.

Within the last few weeks the Ma
tonal mine has been examined by
Horace " Winchell, the noted mining
engineer, and his chief assistant and
geologist, Fred Green. Their report
to the company is said to have been
highly gratifying. and abundantly JUS
titles the extensive 'outlay made foi
the operation of the mine. The details
of the report are of course confiden :
tial, but there Is one fact that has
been given out which is of great in
terest to the public. A stakeholder in
the National quotes Mr.. Winchell as
saying that the ore actually blocked
out in the mine now is sufficient to
last seven years with the present mill
ing capacity. The capacity Of the
mill is 500 tons per day, and Is built
with the view to adding another unit
of the same capacity when conditions
require it.

COURTS ON COMPENSATION.
Remarkable Rulings Made Under the
Workmen's COMPENSATION Acts.

Workmen's compensation acts are
beginning to be productive of inter-
esting judicial rulings The courts
have held that rattlesnakes Indigenous
to the country constitute an industrial
hazard, and a workmen bitten is en-
titled to compensation. Whether this
should be in liquid form, the New
York Sun. which reports the ruling,
does not state. Similarly, boy who
shot a workman in the eye with an
airgun was considered an industrial
hazard but a brutal boss who whipped
his workman was not, nor was COM
pensation allowed to the relatives of
workman whose enemy waylajd him
and shot him while at work. This re-
minds US of the young woman who
brought suit for damages against a
railroad company in the west. 1t APP
peared that a brakeman smitten by
her charms, had thrown her a note
tied to a torpedo. The maiden thrust
them both into the kitchen stove and
was severely injured by the resulting
explosion. The court after careful
consideration, ruled that the brake
mans act was not in performance Of
his normal duties, and the suit was
dismissed

WASTED ENERGY.
Most Of the Money Paid for Coal Goe.
Up in Smoke.

To the engineer the smoke rolling
and billowing out of the power house
chimney Is just like so many dollars
taking wings from the company's
strong box. The smoke escaping from,
G steam plant is composed of nearly
go per cent Of the heat energy of tn,
coal which is being burned. This en-
ergy is lost in the tiny particles of
coal and carbon which escape up the
chimney in the various gases which
are freed before they are burned, in
the heated air and in various other
ways. So. for every SO spent for
coal $3.50 is lost up the chimney.
Assuming that the energy of coal
is 100 per cent, only per cent of this
is available in the form of light when
YOU snap on the electric lamps. Near
ly SO per cent Of the original coal en-
ergy is lost in transmitting this ener-
gy into heat, from heat to steam, from
steam to electricity and In transmit
ting the electricity to your home. The
efficiency of the electric lamp Is only
S per cent--in other words the lamp
turns into light per cent of the ener-
gy it received and wastes IS per cent
of ii in useless heat.

gulch, in which there is quite
a little stream suitable for any pur-
pose necessary to mining. On the
west side of the gulch are two tunnels
No. / about 400 feet up the side hill

face down about 10 feet This tunnel
and winze are on the ledge which var
les in width from 2 to II feet. This
tunnel being near the surface, the
ledge, which is composed of siderite
(spathic iron) and other vein filling, Is
badly leached, but still contains val
ues in silver in a general sample run
ming about so ounces.
Lower Tunnel.
The No. or lower tunnel, Is at wa
ter level and $50 feet directly below
No. l, runs in westerly course about
500 feet, but finding that the ledge dips
to the south at an angle of 60 degrees
1t has been turned in that direction
and it is expected to cross 1t within
175 feet. This will give the owners
Ernest Kelly and partners, a good idea
of what they have when this is cut.
The property is located in what is
known as the Newland formation anG
very favorably situated as to all the
well known rich silver producers o.
the dry belt.
These men are all miners Of expert

The property is about one and one

FRISCO SOON TO START.
Mill in Readiness and the Mine Soon
Will Be in Shane.

John f. Moffatt, who has been en-
gagged in mining in this district for
many years and who is regarded as a
capable man, has been appointed
superintendent of the Frisco, and I'M
der his direction the mine will soon
be producing after long period Of
idleness. The new mill, which was
formerly the Black Bear. Is now COM
plete, sidetracks have been extended
to it and all things are in readiness to
handle the ore. It is understood that
for the present at least zinc will be
the principal product Of the Frisco,
but lead will also be an important
factor when new ground is opened.
The mill is prepared to recover both
lead and zinc values.
The resumption at the Frisco Is the
best news that has come to the little
town Of Gem in many years.

RAD|UM MAY Be USED
ILLUMINATION IN MINES
MINING ENGINEER TELLS OF ITS
POSSIBLE USES WHEN THE
PRICE LOWERS.

The possibilities of radium in prac-
teal everyday life We're discussed at
Denver the other day, and mining
engineer, w. G. Swart, who is making
a special study of radium and its pos
sible uses, pointed out how it might
serve a most useful purpose in mines.
He exhibited specimens of carnotite
ore taken from the mines in western
Colorado, and also showed a small
glass tube containing per cent radi-
UNI salts, similar to that used by the
surgeons in treating cancer and other
diseases.
That radium can be put to many
commercial uses as we'll as medical
uses was demonstrated by Mr. Swart
when he exhibited sign painted with
radium paint and which will glow in
the dark. The sign was an arrow to
be used in mines and pointing to an
exit. Even though there is no light
in the mine the radio activity in the
paint Eliminates the arrow so that it
can be easily seen.
Mr.. Swart said that when the cost
OF extracting radium was reduced a.;
ut no doubt will be after further ex-
periments, the home owner will be
able to have radium paint house num-
bers on his house which could be seen
at night. One member of the exchange
remarked that it would probably be
benefit to some men to have their
entire house painted with that kind of
paint in order that it would stand out
more clearly in the small hours of the
night when he was trying to navigate
his way home.

owned by the Polaris Mining company
and practically all the stock Is now
held by Mrs. Hepburn. 1t is expected
that the leasers will begin work about
May 1. It is believed that a short
tunnel above the old workings will
find considerable ore, and later it is
the plan to drive long crosscut that
Polaris carries high values in silver.

WORK ON SAMSON
STARTED THIS week
PROPERTY ON EAGLE CREEK
THAT HAS GOOD SHOWING
OF GALENA.

Work was this week resumed on
the Samson group, located on Kester
gulch tributary of Eagle creek,
about two miles this side Of the Jack
Waite The property is controlled by
l.. l.. Brainard of this city, and his
brothers of Wardner and Kellogg with
one other stakeholder. A. J. Brainard
with two men went to the property
this week and will begin development
work which will be continued all sum-
mer. The principal work on the pro-
perty consists Of an 800-foot tunnel on
the vein, which shows more or less
galena all the way. The ore averages
very high in silver, one assay show
ing 113 ounces.
Sinking on Vein.
The appearance of the ore in the
tunnel leads to the conclusion that II
is running along the top Of an ore
shoot, and in order to explore the vein
at depth an incline shaft is being sunk
on the vein near the portal of the
tunnel The limited work in the shaft
seems to bear out the theory that only
the top of the shoot has been touched,
for in the bottom of the shaft. which
is little more than 10 feet deep, there
is probably % inches Of good milling
ore, and it is rapidly widening as
depth is gained. The work for the
width of the vein is not known, one
wall being followed. The entire face
Of the drift is mineralized.

REPORT THAT MILWAUKEE,
MAY BUILD SHELTER
SAID THAT TRACT HAS BEEN Sc.
CURED NEAR SALTESE TO
TREAT COPPER ORE.

1t was learned this week from an
apparently reliable source that the
Milwaukee Railroad company has for
some time had in view the erection of
smelter for the treatment of copper
ores, and that site for the same had
been secured and surveyed at st. Re-
gis, Mont. This is most interesting
news in connection with the recent
developments in the Occur d'Alene
copper belt, and it may be significant
of the company's ultimate plan in
connection with the business Of this
district. OF course it is not likely that
teresting itself in the enterprise, but
the parties who are planning it are no
doubt closely allied with the company
and have it's support.
Are Interested in Copper. n
1t is known that officials Of the Mil
waukee are heavily interested in the
Big Elk and other we'll known copper
properties in the vicinity Of Adair on
that line, and the prospect of tremen-
dous tonnage from copper mines in
that section are certain to be realized.
The Milwaukee company has always
shown much interest in encouraging
the development Of the resources along
its line and the erection of a smelling
plant would be strictly in line with it's
policy.
