FIGHTING FOR CONTROL
INTERSTATE. CALLAHAN
APPEAL TAKEN TO coURTs-lN
MEANTIME BOTH FACTIONS
ELECT OFFICERS.

From the conflicting reports pub
lished in this city and Spokane, it is
difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to
the exact situation in Duluth in the
contest for control of the Interstate
Callahan company. Spokane has it
that compromise has been effected
by which John A. Percival has been
elected president and the Callahan fac.
ton is represented on the board of di-
rectors. This report is not credited
here, but on the contrary it appears
that the fight for the control of the
company is now transferred to the
courts. Prior to the meeting of tho
directors the Robbers faction secured
a restraining order enjoining James F.
Callahan from voting 10000 shares of
Interstate Callahan stock held by the
Callahan Mining company, on the
ground that the Callahan was an Ida

resentation in meeting of stockhold-

AERIAL TRAMWAY WAITS
FOR ARRIVAL OF CABLE
BUNK AND DRY HOUSES AND
COTTAGE BEING ERECTED AT
INTERSTATE-C E-CALLAHAN.

While the warning elements of the
Interstate Callahan are fighting for
control in far away Duluth, operations
at the big zinc producer move smooth
~ along as if the internal affairs Of the
company were in perfect accord. The
mine is turning out its usual amount
Of ore, much of which is shipped in its
crude state. Some fear has been ex-
pressed that there would be a short
age of water for milling purposes, but
up to this time it is said that no seri-
GUS difficulty has been experienced in
that respect.
Tramway Delay.
The aerial tramway, which will de-
liver the ore from the mill to the rail-
road at Sunset on the Nine Mile
branch of the Northern Pacific, which
was expected to be in operation sew
eral weeks ago, will probably not. be
completed until some time in Septem-
ber. The entire line is complete and
ready for the cables, and when that
arrives the tramway will be placed in
operation in short order. The length
of the tram Is little less than two
miles. It's completion will eliminate a
heavy expense in handling the ore
from the mine to the railroad, which is
now done by teams.
New BUILDINGS.
A new bunk house has provided ad-
ditional quarters for employees at the
Interstate Callahan, and a separate
building will be constructed for dry
room. This will be equipped with In
dividual lockers and baths. These ac-
commodatious provide particularly for
single men. For married men 10 addi-
tional cottages are being constructed,
making 81 in all now built by the COM
pany and which are rented to men
with families at a low rate. Evidently
the boarding house is not matter of
special concern to the Interstate Call
lahan company, and the employment
of married men is evidently encourag-
ed.

THE SILVER MOON.
Crosscut From Shaft Should Soon Cut
the Vein.

the Vein.
News of cutting the vein, and with
strong probability of finding shoot
Of ore, is expected most any day from
the Silver Moon, near Black Bear. The
property is opened by a shaft 1870 feet
deep, from the bottom of which a
crosscut is being run to the vein. 1t
was expected that this would be reach
ed in about go feet. When this dis
tance had been run porphyry dixie
was encountered through which the
crosscut is now passing. Much conf
dence is expressed that ore win be
found when this is passed. The Silver
Moon is being developed under the di-
rection of Ed Ehrenberg.

THREE FEET CARBONATE
FOUND ON MAJESTIC
FINE SHOWING PROMISES TO
MERGE INTO BIG ORE SHOOT
WITH MORE DEPTH.

Recent work on the Majestic has
disclosed fully three feet of carbon
ate ore that carries fair values in lead
and silver and which promises to
merge into a large ore shoot with
depth. The Majestic consists of 13
patented claims lying little north
and east of the Hercules and it is stat
ed by parties familiar with the early
development on the Hercules that the
ore just disclosed on the Majestic and
the general character of the vein and
enclosing rock are identical VIII. the
showing at a similar stage Un the bo-
nanza lead mine. A few weeks ago
there was a meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Majestic, when it was de-
cided to resume operations. James
Dunn president of the company, and
two other men at once began prelim-
mary work on the surface with the
view to determining just what should
be undertaken in the way of perman-
ent development.
Find Carbonate Ore.
In order to prospect the vein a shaft
was sunk about 20 feet and the bot
tom Of 1t is now in carbonate ore as
stated above. 1t is a remarkably good
showing, and indications are that
depth will disclose fine body of COM
mercial ore. 1t is the plan now to
drive a crosscut from the main tun-
mel to get under this shaft, which will
give depth of about 400 feet and in
wolves running not much if any more
than 100 feet
The Majestic has been developed by
a main crosscut and various short
ones leading from 1t to the extent of
about 400 feet. A strong vein ira
verses the ground for practically the
entire length, and the discovery of
this carbonate ore leads to the belief
that the extension Of the crosscut will
disclose valuable body of commercial
ore.

SUCCESS MINING CO. MAKES MONTHLY
DIVIDEND DISBURSEMENT Of $4,000
ORE SHOOT STRUCK EL-NEW DISCOVERED
THAT PROMISES TO DUPLICATE THE OLD oNE-eooD
MILLING RESULTS

The large number of stockholders OF
the Success Mining company will be
made glad tomorrow, Auguss 20
when dividend checks will be mailed
To them distributing $4,000, this be-
ing monthly dividend at the rate OF
cents per share. The mine is ship
ping 1000 tons of concentrates per
month, being the limit of its present
contract, and it is believed that the 8
cent dividend paid this month will be
maintained. Zinc is the main product.
and while there has been quite a drop
in the price OF both spelter and lead,
1t is believed that there will be a re-
coVery soon, since the condit .1ns that
bfougn' about the phenomenai,y high
prices still exist. and the war demand
for spelter remains as strong as ever.
L. }. Gearon, manager of the Success,
takes an optimistic view Of the metal
market, and states that there is more
ore in sight in the mine than ever be-
fore in its history. In support of this
he states that new and heretofore un-
known ore bodies have been discov-
cred since the property passed into
new hands, and that the further eA-
ploration of the old ore bodies has
oeen in every respect gratifying.

Both Factions Organize.

The ultimate outcome of the strug
gle for control will turn on the deci-
sion of the court as to the right to
vote the Callahan stock. With this the
Callahan faction will have control
otherwise the Robbers factions will re-
tain the management. 1t is understood
that the case will be carried to the
highest court. In the meantime both
factions met and elected directors who
in turn elected officers. The Callahan
faction elected P. HI. Nelson, of Dull

Wallace, first vice president; Frank
Boutin, second vice president; and DIR

The Robbers faction elected John A

Strike Ore Body on 1900.

The crosscut To the vein from III
1900 level cut the ore shoot Tuesday
night The ore is of the same high
grade character that has prevailed in
the upper level, and it is expected that
when little more work is done 1t viii
be found fully as large if not larger
than on the 1100 On the HOO the
shoot averaged 16 feet in width ana
is 175 feet long. On this level Mr..
Gearon says a horse cut the ore shoot,
which no doubt gave rise to the report
that the ore shoot was much shorter
on that level. one of the first acts of
the new management was to extend
the drift east through the horse, which
proved to be short and the ore was
again picked up. The ore shoot on
the various levels has ranged from IT'S
to 225 feet in length, the latter length
being found on the 1000. The man
agement thinks it not improbable that
additional ore may be found by drift
ing west and this will probably be
done at an early date,

Cut Veins at Great Depth.

The crosscut that has already been
started will cut the south vein at a
depth of 1900 feet, and the excellent
showing above justifies the expecta-
tion that good ore shoot win be en-
countered when the vein is reached.
and in the north vein also.
A third vein on the Silver Standard
has also received considerable atten-
tion. A drift has been run on this
vein a distance of 700 feet which shows
ore practically all the way varying
from Q inches to feet Most of this
assays 4 per cent copper with low val
ues in silver.
The Silver Standard has a compress
or run by water.

Find New Ore Bodies.

Since taking over the Success mine
the new management has given much
attention to prospecting the ground
and these efforts have resulted in the
discovery of a new ore body parallel
to the old one which greatly enlarges
the possibilities of future production.
! 1t was in carrying out this system of
prospecting the ground that the super
intendent, James Gearon, drove a
crosscut north on the 500 level and
broke into an ore shoot about 20
inches wide running parallel to the
main ore body. This was followed up
by another crosscut from the $50
level with an even more satisfactory
result, the new shoot on this level be-
ing feet wide and practically the
same grade and character as the old
one. How long the shoot is remains
to be determined, and in the mean
time crosscuts will be run from the
lower levels, and indications are that
the new shoot will be found with in
creasing width as depth is gained De-
velopment of this new ore reserve will
be watched with much interest, and 1t
is possible that the old ore bodies will
be practically duplicated in the new.
Soon Begin Sinking.
AS soon as the new pump is in posi-
ton the shaft will be extended 200
feet and the management expects to
accomplish this distance in two
months. From this point down levels
will be opened at intervals of 200 feet
instead of 100 feet, as was the rule
under the old management. The ore
has increased regularly with depth,
due to the more favorable conditions
for the existence of ore deposits. In
the upper workings the vein appears
to be under tremendous pressure,
giving it a squeezed appearance, while
this popularity disappears with depth
and the ore deposits become larger.
The station at the 1900 level Is now
completed and 1t is expected that the
new pump will be placed in position
next week. This pump will have suf-
ficient capacity to meet the require
ments of the mine for many years.
Mill Does Good Work.
Under the direction Of Superintend-
ent Zeigler the Success mill is doing
excellent work. Although a Young
man and without extensive practical
experience, Mr.. Zeigler is thoroughly
versed in the technical knowledge of
milling and has introduced many new
features tending to raise the percent

the same time adhering to the princi-
pie Of economy in operation. 1t is
stated that under his management

U. S. WINS OIL LAND CASE.
Right Of President to Withdraw 1000,
900 Acres, Worth $1,000, ,OOO, 900,
Upheld bv Supreme Court

Denver-The United States Su-
preme Court upheld the action of for
mer President Taft in withdrawing
from public entry nearly 100000
acres of oil land comprised in the pub
lie domain in California, Wyoming and
other western states. Three justices
dissented from the opinion.
The suit was brought by the Mid
west Oil Company and associated COM
panies, which operate in the Salt
Creek fields in Wyoming.
The companies questioned the right
Of the President to withdraw these
lands before he had been specifically
authorized by Congress to do SO.
1t is estimated that the value OF the
oil deposits in the land involved in the
withdrawal order is more than 1,000,-
100000, being practically all the un-
appropriated known oil land on the
government domain.
Officers of the Midwest Oil Com
pany, whose headquarters are in Den
yer, said that the decision affects but
160 acres of the land claimed by the
company.
