LITTLE P|TTSBURG HAS
BIG SHOOT ZINC ORE
COMPRESSOR WILL SOON BE IN
oPERATloN-WiLL SHIP
HIGH GRADE.

The Colonial Mining company, the
newly organized company which has
taken over the Little Pittsburg on
Pine creek, is making rapid progress
in equipping that property for exten-
sive development, according to infor-
nation received Tuesday from Watson
Beebe, who with his brother ]. ID.
Beebe, secured a bond on the group
and who are the controlling factors in
the company, The compressor build
ing, 24x14 feet, is completed and the
machinery is now on the ground and
In process of being installed. The cleo
trio power line Of the Washington
Water Power company has been ex-
tended to the property and ready to
be connected as soon as the motor Is
in position. Everything in connection
with the power plant is on hand and
will be in operation by the last Of iris
week, according to present plans. In
addition to the compressor building,
the company has constructed a cook
house, 24x14 feet, and a bunk house
20x14 4feet, both of which are now
occupied.
Twenty Feet of Zinc Ore.
The main opening on the Little
Pittsburg is a crosscut extended to
the vein a distance of $40 feet and
which attains a depth Of about 500
feet at the point of intersection. This
crosscut was run by the original owa-
er, Gus Smith, and disclosed fine
showing Of zinc ore of good milling
grade. Since taking the property un-
der bond a few weeks ago the Beebe
brothers, in addition to the extensive
outside improvements above referred
to, have drifted about 35 feet and in
that short distance the improvement
in the showing Of ore is described as
remarkable. After drifting a short
distance the top of great shoot of
solid ore seems to have been encoun-
tered and which has steadily raised
as the drift advanced until 1t now
practically covers the face of the drift
The drift follows the hanging wall
and erosscut has been run toward
the foot wall, showing the shoot to
be 20 feet wide. Between two anf
three feet of this ore Mr.. Beebe says
win average AZ per cent zinc and the
balance will average 26 per cent
Will Ship High Grade.
Just as soon as the compressor Is
in operation Mr.. Beebe states work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
in the drift and sinking on the ore
will also begin, the purpose being to
take out high grade ore for shipment
This will be conveyed to the wagon
road by a tramway which the COM
pany plans to construct without delay
a distance of a mile and half, and
thence to the railroad by wagon haul
of Z miles. The company is now en-
ploying IA men.

AMERICAN MINING CO.
FINDS LEAD AND z|NC
JOINS SUCCESS ON WEsT-DE.
VELoP BY SALE OF THE
TREASURY STOCK.

A strike that appears to be of con-
siderable Importance was made a few
days ago by the American Mining
company on its property lying west ol
and adjoining the Success. The prop
Ierty consists of one claim and frac-
tion, the Success mill being partly on
the American ground. More or less
work was done years ago which dis
closed the ledge the full length of The
claim and exposed considerable ore.
A lower tunnel was also run several
hundred feet to cut the vein, but work
was abandoned before this purpose
was accomplished. A few months ago
the company was reorganized with a
view to a resumption of development,
The following officers and directors
were elected: William Simpson pres
ident, John Dolan secretary, James
Cronin, S. p. Fairweather, Tony Mall
itor and Eugene Conrad. Since the or
ganization work has been going on
continuously, three men being en-
ployed.

The directors of the Success Min

as the comments on Success in The

been disposed to regard the cut in the

JEFFERSON Co.
INCREASES CAPITAL
MEETING HELD SATURDAY.
PROCEED TO BUILD MILL
IN THE SPRING.

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Ray Jefferson Mining company
was held in this city last Saturday
evening for the purpose of taking ac-
tion on the proposition to increase
the capital stock of the company from
$S75,O00 divided into 100000 shares
of the par value of 25 cents, to $780,
600 divided into 100000 shares of
the same par value. All the stock of
the original capitalization had been
issued and of this 1,450,749 shares
were represented in the meeting either
in person or by proxy David c..
Smith and DR.. e. G. Ellis, both of Mis-
soula, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the company, We're in
attendance, as were also D. L. Nc
Grath, George X. Garrett and E. r.
Day, directors. Harry L. Day, large
stockholder in the company, was also
present.
Capital Increased.
The proposition to increase the cap
ital stock to 100000 divided into g.
100000 shares was unanimously
adopted and the certificate of such in
crease has now been filed. 1t is un-
derstood, though not officially an
nounced, that the additional 100000
shares were subscribed by the Days at
par, and that the $125,OO0 obtained
from this source will be used for the
construction Of mill to handle Ray
Jegerson ores at the junction Of Car
bon and Beaver creeks. 1t is the in
tention of the management to begin
work on the mill at the earliest possi-
Bile date in the spring, and with this
end in view it is proposed to deliver
much of the heavy machinery during
the winter when the snow roads will
make transportation much easier The
for the mill and its con-
struction We're turned over to 2. r.
Day
Nobody Wanted to SELL
1t has been known for some time
that representatives of the Interstate
Callahan company had recently made
very attractive offers for all or the
control of the Ray-Jefferson, which
joins the big zinc property on the
west, and while 1t is not known that
the offer was formally renewed a.
this meeting, it is believed that 1t was
and probably increased. In any event,
the proposition was In such shape
evidently that the Days felt that some
counter move must be made to make
their position in the company secure,
and to that end it is understood that
they announced that they stood ready
to duplicate any offer that had been
made to the stockholders for their
holdings. So far as can be learned no
stock was sold under this offer.
While it is not believed that the
Days actually own a majority of Ray
Jefferson stock, it is believed that they
are in position to exercise control
through their own holdings and stock
friendly to them, should there be ?
contest for control.

Of Scent dividend November 23,
1915, The reduction of the dividend
rate for November is caused by u
greatly reduced October output at the
mine, occasioned by hoist, compressor
and pump failures.
"A large electric pump is being in
stalled on the 1900 level and should
be working in few days This will
release the air, now used to drive the
pumps for mining purposes, and to
greatly increase development work,
which will include sinking the shaft
to the 14OO level in the near future.
"Ore reserves are estimated suf1i-
cient to keep the mill running for one
year. and should be greatly increased
when the 1900 level is fully opened UP
and put in shape to mine"

Find Lead and Zinc.

After extending the lower crosscut
tunnel considerable distance and
having reached the point where the
vein should have been encountered, it
was decided to explore the ground on
the theory that possibly the tunnel
was running alongside the vein. This
proved to be correct. After crosscut-
ting about 35 feet the vein was cut
at depth of about 450 feet, showing
a good grade of lead and zinc ore, the
former predominating, samples of
which were exhibited Tuesday by Mr.
Simpson just before his return to his
home in Spokane. The work up to
date has been done by assessment, but
1t is the plan now to offer a block of
treasury stock, of which the company
has about 100000 shares. The com
pany is confident that the American
vein is Identical with the Success. On
the west is the Treasure Vault and
presumably a continuation of the
same vein.

Hard Times in Wet Chicago

According to statistics compiled by the Poor
Relief Department OF Cook county, as we'll by the
Associated Charities of Chicago the city is expererc
ing about the hardest times in it's history.
One of the issues in the last municipal campaign
the public employment problem. Tens of thou
sands of men were out of work and both candidates
for Mayor promised that if elected, public improve
ments would be started which would give employ
ment to most of the jobless So far this promise has
not been kept and the employment problem is
riouS as ever.
Last year Cook countys grand total for chart
table purposes was $2,27854o. The number of poor
cared for at public expense is estimated at 100000
which is just twice the number cared for the previous
year.
This is only one item in the big expense account
which the taxpayer is called on to meet. Taxes in
