From f. c. Gnaedinger, engineer in
charge of the operations at the La

now down 500 feet, making a total
depth Of about 500 feet from the sur

the bottom of the shaft and yesterday
had been advanced about ten feet. 1t

at distance of about $50 feet east
ore was found AT 200
feet drift east so feet shows about
four feet of ore two feet of which is

Blue Rell is located at the head of Big
creek in the Wardner mineral belt and
Is supposed to be on the Bunker Hill
vein. The ground is traversed by two
veins, one of which mas been drlfted
upon for about 1900 feet From this a
crosscut has been run to the second
vein. which is believed to be the main
one, However. when drifting On the
first vein good values were found in
zinc and II is now proposed to pros.
peot this ground thoroughly. A shaft

point and chances are favorable to
finding a body of commercial ore. A
little later q contract will be awarded

for ore Is very favorable.

tinue IN the race.
The conditions that prevailed in the
face Of the erosscut on the Hector a.
described In the last issue of this paper
still continue, with features that more
strongly indicate the approach Of the
vein. The slip or fault that Is being
followed is now four or five feet wide
and almost wholly oxidlZed iron. An
assay representing a fair sample of
this material shows a trace or silver,
is per cent lead and 34 per cent zinc.
A great flow of water Is now coming
in, much more than has ever appeared
before, which with these values In lead
and zinc leave no other conclusion
than the lead may be encountered any
time with strong probability that II
will show good body of ore. Drifting
on the other vein both east and west
continue. The vein matter is so soft
that it was found necessary to carry
the drift in the foot wall, from which
occasional crosscuts are run into the
vein. These show that the values in
both lead and zinc continue which
justifies -the conclusion that COM
mercial body Of ore will be developed
in this vein,

The Mayor and Police Appointments
Judge Walkers Enlarged Pow
ers--McGovern for Sheriff.

Now that Mayor MoWery has taker
the public into his confidence and tolC
why he appointed Mr.. Beale city at
torney, there is feeling quite genera
that he should be equally frank in ex-
planning just what prompted him to
appoint two non residents on the po-
lice force The reasons he enumerates
which governed him in the selection of
q city attorney are commendable, and
1t is only fair to the mayor to presume
that he was actuated by an equally
high sense of public duty in the selec-
| tion of Mr.. McGovern and Mr.. John.
son. But the people should not be left
to presumption in the matter of fill
Ing positions that so directly concerns
the peace and order Of the city, and If
these gentlemen were also selected be-
cause they are personal friends of the
mayor and possess superior qualiflca-
Itions as peace officers, it would be
reassuring to have the mayor say So
Mayor Mowery should explain his ac-
tion in this respect in justice to him
self. If for no other reason for he can
hardly be ignorant of the fact that the
belief is quite general that neither of
the patrolmen was known to him per-
sonally until he came here to receive
the star of authority. Nor can the
mayor be unmindful Of the widespread
resentment that is felt because he ig-
nored the just claims Of a score of
bona fide residents of the city who
sought positions on the police force
End filled the positions by men who are
not legal residents Of the city or state.
POSSIBLY the mayor had good and
7uffcfent reasons for making these ap- !
continents, and certainly II is a mat /
'ar that requires an explanation equal /
v with his action in appointing a city
lttorney
If Mayor Mowery should condescend
. explain his action in the matter of
ppointing patrnlmen, it is suggested
hat he also explain why he has issued 4

The Trouble.
II appears the Hercules ore contract
with the A. S. e r. company, which
expired on May 81 was the most fav-
Iorahle held in this district, providing
a freight and treatment rate of s14
and other advantages based on the
metal market quotations. 1t is under
stood that the Hercules Is insistint>
upon renewal of this contract, while
the smelter people are standing out
against it, for the reason that by doing
81 the smelling company would be
compelled to give other comDanies
equally favorable rates, and there are
probably other reasons that also con-
tribute to control the smelter's action
The Bunker Hill company has A con-
tract that has Is years yet to run, sub
inct to revision every five years on
terms corresponding to the terms un-
der which the majority of the ore of
the district is shipped. 1t is stated
that the Bunker Hill has freight and

Attitude of SmeIter.
There is an impression in some well 9
quarters that the Guggen- h
elms are in position where they do h
ot require the output of botn the y
Bunker Hill and Hercules mines, and Il
hat therefore they are not disposed t. [

N the other hand, if they do not re- a

of the council, nor did he assume to
pass upon the legality of the act of
that body. It's different now. Judge
Walker Is no mere puppet to do the
bidding of the council. He talks right
out IN meetin' when the city fathers
seem disposed to take action in oppo-
sition to his firmly set opinions, par
tcularly when such action would i'm
pose little extra labor on the city
clerk without provision for overtime
and even when the acts of the council
have been crystalized into law, he
passes upon the legality of the pro-
cedure and governs himself in accord
ance with his own conclusion. 1t is
therefore plain that there is no neea
for city attorney, and the mayor and
council might as well take a vacation
while Judge Walker is on the Job. 1t
should be stated. however, that there
would probably be no economy in this
arrangement, for the Judge Is strong
on extra pay for extra work.

The return Of Pat McGovern has had
most disturbing influence upon the
county democracy, and there are rum
bllngs of revolt against the powers
that control the organization that may
grow into open rebellion. Not that
Mr. McGoVern is purpOsely a disturb
ing factor, but the circumstances sur
rounding his return after an absence
of some ten years, during which time
he lost his legal residence in this
county, have created a feeling Of an
candidates for sheriff and their friends
quite as pronounced as that among
disappointed aspirants for positions on
the police force of the city. It was not
merely to take a position on the police
force that brought Mr. McGovern back
to Wallace, according to the best in
formation obtainable That was mere
ly preliminary move in preparation
for one of greater importance and sig
nificance. The real purpose is to make
Mr.. McGOvern the democratic candi-
date for sheriff next year, and the po-
lice job is simply a convenience to en-
able him to regain his legal status and
renew old acquaintance while on the
city payroll. Friends of Sheriff Pfel
strongly resent this action by the pow
