STRIKE REPORTED
ON 0DD|E LEASE
TELEGRAM FROM WILLARD
SAYLS RICH ORE HAS BEEN
FOUND

Former Governor Tasker l.. eddie,
who has a lease at Willard on the
Honey Bee strike, where the origi-
nal discovery in the new gold camp
was made, received a telegram last
night that rich ore has beer found
in sinking the shaft.
Just what the strike may mean,
eddie was unable to say today, but
he felt very optimistic in view of the
fact that a sample across two feet
taken several days ago by Zeb Ray
returned an assay of $62 in gold.
The strike of yesterday, therefore, is
probably of still richer ore.
On the eddie lease sinking has
just begun. About IS feet of trench
ing has been done to locate the ledge.
From present indications there is a
big body of ore, Mr.. Oddie says,
but how much Of it will be of high
grade, or how much milling ore, is
yet to be determined.
Mr.. eddie says it is too early yet
to tell a great deal about the for
nation, but he believes it is favorable
to the development of good ore
bodies.-Gazette.

GCED AND IRON ARE
FOUND IN PHILIPPINES

The bureau of science has sent a
party of engineers to SURFACE, Min
danaO, according to the Daily Con-
sular and Trade Report, issued by
the department of commerce, to IN
vestigate the reported iron ore de-
posits Of that region. 1t has been
said on good authority that there is
a large body of iron ore in that re-
gion comparable with some of the
worlds greatest deposits. A general
reconnaissance of northern SURFACE
and of the country about 1ligan,
where gold deposits were recently
fond, will be made. The 1914 out
put of gold in the Philippine islands
shows a gain of 80 per cent over that
Of 1913. The value of the years
output is ~$1,2O3,433. a little over
half being the output of dredges. In
mining the gold ore about $4,000
nth of silver vas produced. The
prospects are good for a large In
crease this year in the mineral pro-
duction of the islands.

ed about $300,000 in the past, and
as far as is known has never been
prcspected to any extent in Sierra
Nevada ground. When the water is
drained from the 1900 level, this
vine will be repaired to that point,
which will enable exploration of the
mine, not only on the 200 level, but
deeper, if necessary, as this winze
continues to the 1900 level.
The United Comstock Pumping as
ISOLATION continued the work of 200
ievci pump installation and lower
ed the water and repaired the Ophir
Mexican winZe to a point 1872 feet
below the $500 level. The shaft
pumps worked successfully and held
the water at all points.
The Jacket-C Crown Point-Belcher
Mines company milled 767 tons of
dump rock during the week, and n
lar of bullion shipped to the smell
ter. repairs were made to the 1900
station of the Jacket incline and the
Jacket east crosscut on the 1900 lev
e! was repaired to the 205-foot point.
Prospecting the vein on this level will
SON be placed underway. The 1900
level Crown Point east %crosscut is
being advanced to connect with No.

waste. Further advance was made
on the Belcher south drift on 1900
ieve; with no important change in
the to1mation, and repairs were also
male On the 400 level. At the joint
incline, 26 feet of the north COM
partment has been cleaned out and
timhered, between the 400 and 1900
levels. The incline is to be repaired
for its entire width.
The Caledonia, company on the
1000 level, extended the east cross
cut from the north drift to the 20
foot point through quartz of low as
say value. The c%rosscut, having
reached the hanging wall of the vein,
work was stopped there and resum-
ed in the face of the north drift,
which was advanced six feet through

MANSON AN OPT|M|ST
OVER MINE OUTLOOK
HEAD OF ORE PURCHASING
COMPANY SPEAKS HIGHLY
OF CAMPS FUTURE

Optimistic regarding the outlook
and southwestern states and of the
opinion that the industry is but be-
ginning to feel the first effects of
an awakened interest among the in
vesting and speculative public.
Frank NJ. Manson, general manager
of the Utah Ore Sampling company,
returned to Salt Lake yesterday for
a brief visit, says the Salt Lake Trib-
une.
With his associates he has recent
ly taken over the Empire group of
claims lying east of the Lone Star
property in the Goldfield district. A
new shaft is to be sunk to a depth
of $50 feet and it is expected that
it will reach the vein for which it
will be sunk within 200 feet. The
property has some rich surface show
ings.
Mr.. Manson said that he was
gratified to learn of the present ac-
tivity in the Big and Little Cotton
wood districts and predicted that ore
bodies of considerable magnitude and
value would be discovered in the
near future. He based his conclu-
sions on the past history of the dis
tricts, and said that he looked for
ward to rather sensational develop
ments when greater depth had been
attained; and the projected tunnels
bad drained the district and made
possible the mining of the ore bod
les lying below the bottoms of the
old Slopes.
he apex litigation between the
Jumbo Extension and the Booth in
terests has been settled, and 1t is
rumored that a settlement would
soon be reached between the Wing
field faction and the Erickson faction
in the litigation relative to the sale
of the Velvet claim to the Jumbo
Extension company and the subse-
uuent transaction. The camp of
Goldfield is feeling the effects of
the settlements according to Mr..
Manson, and greater activity is be-
ing shown daily by the various min
ing companies.
The new strike in the Jumbo Ex-
tension is all that has been reported
of it, according to Mr.. Manson. On
the Atlanta property the raise from
the 1850 level has been connected
with the 400 level. The vein being
mined is about sixteen feet in width.
The company is now in a position to
send out shipments at the rate of
As cars per month of ore that will
average better than $40 to the ton.

TALKS ON THRIFT
No. 1S-BECOMING AN
INVESTOR
american Bankers Association)
THIRD ANNUAL SERIES
Thrift, when it begins to
take root, is a plant of rapid
growth George Washington.

The National bank of Chicago has
a savings investment club. designed
to encourage savings ~depositors to
become investors in bonds. When a
deposition has $50 to his credit the
bank will lend him $50 at the cur
rent rate of interest, and he can buy
a 500 bond, selecting the bond him
self. The bank holds the bond as
collateral security for the $50 loan
and the customer continues his saw
ings deposits till he is able to pay
the $50 note. Then he can start the
process over again and buy a sec
end bond. The plan is sound. Its
main advantage to the depositor is
that most of his savings draw bond
interest instead of savings bank in
terest. If the income yield of the
bond is higher than the interest
rate he pays the bank on his $50
note he makes a further profit. If
the yield of the bond and the inter-
est on the note are equal, the trans
action will reach the same result as
if he bought two $50 bonds, one
after the other.
The same plan is conducted by
other banks, including the Wiscon-
sin National Bank of Milwaukee.
TIE latter institution offers the same
arrangement proportionately to saw
ings depositOrs who wish to buy
$500 and $1,000 bonds.
Even if the banks where you are
located are not in a position to assist
you in just this way, you can soon
put yourself in a position to take
advantage of favorable investment
opportunities now existing.
A good bond will pay you a steady
income. 1t will be good collateral
for a loan. or will form a nest egg
for more bonds. Even though you
have saved nothing as yet, you can
own a 500, $500 or $500 bond in
50 weeks.
Become now a regular weekly saw
er at some bank. Pledge yourself
to make 50 weekly deposits of a sum
you cal manage to set aside. When
you have accumulated some capital.
choose your bond upon good advice.
and then set about saving for an
other, and keep it up. 1t is always
better to be a lender than a borrow
err. A certain western city has a
city hall built % years ago at a cost
of about $1,000, 900. 1t has now
paid out as much in bond interest as

118 COPPER CLAIMS
ARE UNDER OPTION
PRELIMINARY WORK GIVES
GOOD RESULTS; DEAL En-
pECTED TO GO THROUGH

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, New, April
Sc For some time past w P. Ham
mor Of San Francisco has had a
force of men at work on the Cop
per Queen property in Copper basin,
about seven miles southwest of Bat
tie Mountain. The development
work done on these claims has Civ
Ell such satisfactory results hat it
is the general belief among those in
a position to know hat Mr.. Harmon
viii take the property ove from
the owners. II. r.. Lemaire and F.
Barnes, and proceed to work it on a
large scale.
Recently Mr.. Harmon, through
his representatives, F. d. Newell and
W. II. Bray, has secured options on
practically all the copper claims in
the vicinity of Copper basin. In all
there are lis claims. A corps of
surveyors is now at work surveying
these claims. This work is under the
direction of Norton Ware. an engi-
neer Of Mr.. Hammon'sc California
staff.
A keystone drill arrived in Battle
Mountain recently and was taken al
once to Copper basin. 1t is under
stood that it is the intention of the
management to prospect the claims
under option by means of drill holes
during the next few months. This
work will be done in connection with
other work of prospecting and devel-
opnlent character.
The new operators have establish
ed their camp on the site formerly
occupied by Battle Mountain, before
the ouilding of the Southern Pacific
aiirra1 caused the town to be moved
to its present site.
Resides the activities in the copper
pronerties. placer miners are busy in
many of the canyons of the Copper
basin country and the daily cleanup
from their rockers is adding sub
stantlallv to the gold production OF
the state.
The advent Of the copper opera
tors courled with the placer mining
now in progress there gives those ia
r'iiIar will. The Copper basin district
reason to believe the old birthplace
Of Battle Mountain again will be the
scene &C a busy camp.

CAUGHT IN ACT OF
STEALING LETTERS
LOCAL YOUTH CONFESSES TO
TAXING VALUABLE LETTERS
FROM BONES

Caught red-handed by the local

Ing letters from lock-boxes, a IA
.'ear-old youth is facing such action
rs may be taken by the federal au-
thorities, which, under such circum-
stances. usually involve severe pen
alties. The boy was ap~prehended on
Thursday afternoon as he was TAX
ing mail from a box and was at
once taken by Postmaster Ben Ros-
chthal to the court house, where he
was examined by Sheriff ingalls,, TO
whom he confessed that he had TAX
en- a large number of letters, secur-
ing about S25 in currency and a
number of checks.
Postmaster Rosenthal Immediate
" began an investigation, which has
esulted in his finding checks for
about $500, taken from stolen let
ters and which the culprit had
thrown away or hidden in vacant
houses. The boy said that he had
spent the stolen money in playing
the punch boards in a local store.
The matter has been referred by the
postmaster, in a report. to Donald G..
Means. postoffice inspector for this
district, who will decide upon the
action to be taken in the case.
The confessed letter thief has been
under suspician for some time, as
he was thought to have taken mail
and was seer nea the boxes when
.ettels were missed, but no proof
could be obtained at the time or his
gnilt, although he was then given
warning. Postmaster Rosenthal says
that. the holders of lock-bOXeS are in
a large measure to blame for losing
their mail, as it has been found by
investigation that fully one-third OF
these boxes are left unlocked and but
one disc of the combinations on an
oil or third of the boxes is locked en-

Just before going to press, the In
telligence reached us that Editor
Moves of the Sawyer County Gazette
was stricken on the train while ON
his way home from Madison, FRIDAY
morning, Jan. p. All the particulars
that we could obtain was that he
was taken off the train at Eau Clare
for treatment where he soon after
passed away. His death was PROB
ably due to heart failure, he having
suffered from heart trouble for many
years. Editor Moves has been in this
county for about seven years ana
during that time has aided greatly
through the medium of his neWspa-
per, to build up the south eastern
section of this county. The partlcu-
lars of his death will be printed in

In the passing of w, H. Noyes,
of Winter, northern Wisconsin loses
one of it's ablest newspaper men and
Sawyer county loses a good citizen
and persistent booster. He was very
plain spoken through the columns OF
his paper and a man of strong con
victions, but, withal, possessed
wealth of good nature and kind
heart.
Mr.. Noyes was a candidate fol-
the republican nomination for mem
| Der of assembly from this district in
1912.
The management of his paper, tbs

T. E. Noyes, who has practically hac
charge of the paper for some time
past, the senior Mr.. Noyes having
been in poor health for the pas
year or longer. Tom has been get

We understand a movement is on
foot in the legislature looking to the
repeal of the income tax law and
replacing the farcical attempt at
taxation Of money and credits on the
statute books AS to the income tax
law, it is right in theory and works
out right in practice wherever it
has been given a fair trial. The only
trouble with the income tax law in
Wisconsin is that it is not strong
enough. The personal property tax
should be done away with altogether
and the income tax law made large
enough to take it's place. The in
portion to his ability to pay, which
is the right principle.
Taxation of money and credits has
been a miserable failure in the past
and there is no reason to expect any
different result if again tried in the
future. While this law was on our
statute books one man in Rusk coun-
ty once had $65 when the assessor
came around. How lonesome he must
have felt in his wealth, of honesty.
1t is also proposed to place the
collection of the income tax in the
hands of local assessors. This, too,
would defeat in large measure the
best working of the law, just as en-
trusting the game laws to the en-
forcement of local police officers and
abolishing the game wardens would
mean the abolishing of the game,
too.
1t is up to the people of Wis
consin to ''sit up and take notice"
of what is going on.
