MINNIE MOORE, FAMOUS
WOOD RIVER NINE
ROCKWELL THINKS RE HAS SOL
WE'D FAULT THAT CUT OUT
THE ORE BODY.

senator-elect Rockwell the well
known Wood river mining operator,
who reopsned, reJuyenated and placed
on a dividend basis the great Minnie
Moore mine Of this district, and then
sold the property for she owners to
Charles NJ. SehEab, the steel king,
whose engineers some years after
wards were unable to solve the COM
pick faulting movement encountered
on the 1000-ll00 levels OF the main
workings, which displaced the largest
Of It's famous rich ore bodies, has
again been placed in charge of the
proposed operation by the company
which purchased the group from Mr..
SchWab, together with 900 acres Of
additional adjoining claims, in 1906,
With the disputed factor Of post
mineral faulting favorably settled af-
ter seven years study and experiment,
including examinations and reports
by some of the most distinguished
mining geooglsts in the world, Mr..
Rockwell believes the key to the con-
tinuance of the displaced bonanza ore
bodies has been disclosed, and the To-
cation of their extension, by sinking
the Allen shaft 600 feet further, and
drifting to the east, is substantially
certain.
Bonanza Again Probable.
With five factors involved in the
problem at the time Of the shut down
in 1906 four have been eliminated in
favor Of a post mineral movement. A
fifth factor at the best remains neu-
trail which naturally resolves the risk
Of recovery Of bonanza operations
once more, something better than so
acres out Of 100. Simply stated
said the senator in an interview, I'VE
calculate we have a good bargain Of
safety over an ordinary business or
manufacturing rlsk-and mining (not
Nildcatting) is simply high class
manufacturing proposition, containing
no credit system, no discounts, no adj
yertising or craftsmanship qualifica-
tiohs. We don't have to find a market
for the product Cash with the bill of
ladlng is the rule"
An Able Operator,
Senator Rockwell is conceded to be
one Of The able operators in the STATE,
md is one Of the men who has forged
ut O mining success in his district
that compares favorably with the
great successes incident to the enorm.
Gus production of the northern part of
the state, He was one of the first if
not the first to accept the principle OF
employers liability in hazardous en-
ployment and before the legislative
committee two years ago, and in the
State Mine association of which ex-
ecutiye board he is a dominant factor
declared unequiyocally for it's adop-
ton. He is also member of the COM
mttee on federal legislation of the
American Mining congress, of which
he is a life member, He is also presi-
dent of the Rockwell White Hydro
Electric company, which qualified him
or membership in the order Of 30
rians" said to be the most yirile or
cant2ation Of boosters" ever devised
f,r cooperation and good fellowship,
Big Things Expected
With his highly developed construct
i've energy available for reyivifying
the famous old property which for
many years was one Of the leading
producers among the mines of our
state whose total production yields
nearly 80 per cent of the supply of
lead Of the United States, with its by
product of silver, gold and zinc,
amounting to nearly thirty millions
annually everyone can expect to wit
ness another splendid mining achieve
ment to the credit Of the Wood River
district within the year.
