THE AMADOR NO MORE;
IS NOW |NTERMOUNTA|N
NAME OF FAMOUS PROPERTY is
cHANGED-MiNE NOW BE-
ING UNWATERED.

! The men who are preparing to OPP
crate the Amador mine, near Iron
Mountain, Mont, most of whom are
residents of this city or district, would
probably disclaim being influenced by
superstition in their mining operations
and yet if the truth was known it
would probably be found that the only
reason for changing the name of the
name "Amador" is a hoodoo The
name of the company has been chang
ed and the name "Amador" so far as
the mine is concerned, is now mem
ory and somewhat unsavory one at
that. The mine is now being operated
under the name Intermountain Mining
company and certificates of stock in
the new company are now being ex-
changed for the old ones.
Mine Being Unwatered.
Water was turned through the new
flume on August l, providing power
for the pump, which is now at work
steadily lowering the water in the
mine. The water is now below the
400 level and it Is expected that it will
all be out by September l. 1t is prob
able that shipments of first class ore
will be made from the 400 pending the
of the mill
The foundation for the mill is COM
pleted and the erection of the frame
work is going on. The machinery has
been ordered and will be delivered on
the ground by the time the building is
ready for it's installation. This will
probably be in September and the mill
should be in operation by November
l. The owners feel quite optimistic
over the prospect of dividends within
a few months. In addition to the
large amount of ore said to be avail
able in the mine, it is also stated that
there is not less than 5000 tons Of
good milling ore or the dump.

THE RED MONARCH.

Ralph Smith, manager of the Red
Monarch, in Missoula gulch, was in
the city the first Of the week He
stated that he had expected to have
the new oil burning compressor in
stalled before this, but the construc-
tion Of the wagon road to the prop
erty delayed him. He expects to have
the new plant In operation within a
few weeks. Mr.. Smith returned to
Spokane, where several heavy stock
holders in the company reside.

THE CARBONATE HILL.

The drift has been extended about
rs feet on the ore shoot that was
struck in the Cargonate Hill a few
months ago and which attracted SC
much attention among mining men
The face of the drift is now reported
to show or feet of first class ore
both zinc and lead, the former pre-
dominating, and crosscuts have dis
closed large amount of milling ore
in addition. No one who visits this
property fails to be impressed with
the great possibilities of it's further

| Gain Much Depth,

Gain Much Depth.
Nose HOLDEN came over from Mis-
soula gulch last week and took his
first vacation in several years in the
form of trip to Spokane on the
Eagles special. He has been a mem
ber of the Eagles for many years and
reports the time of his life at the big
national gathering. Mr.. HOLDEN is the
principal owner of the Rawhide group
of claims on the west side of Missoula
gulch and has been devoting his ener-
gies for several years to developing
them crosscut has been run to the
vein, cutting 1t at distance Of 275
feet and at a depth of 200 feet. At that
point the vein is reported IL feet wide,
made up largely Of quartz and oxidiz-
ed iron, very favorable showing, but
indicating that greater depth would
have to be gained to find ore The vein
has been located near the bottom Of
the gulch about 5000 feet west and Mr.,
HOLDEN states that he has now started
to drift on the vein from that point.
This will give probably 1000 feet adj
ditional depth and much confidence Is
felt that an ore shoot will be encoun-
tered before great distance has been
run.

A question having been raised as to
the legality Of the passage of the an
nual appropriation ordinance, Council
man johnson, of the rules and ordin-
ance committee, called the matter up
again and the ordinance was read. On
motion of Councilman Beamer the
rules were suspended and the ordin-
ance was again passed. Before the
vote was taken Councilman Smith
moved that the levy of IA mills for
general revenue purposes be reduced
to 10, calling attention to the fact that
2 mills had been added in order to in
crease the appropriation for paving
street intersections to $4,000, and that
1t would be impossible to use all this
money for paving this year. Mr.. John
son did not agree with this view. It
was impossible to tell how much paw
ing could be done this year, and in or
der to secure the most favorable terms
provision should be made to make one
contract cover the entire district, and
the money should be available to take
care of as much as possible this year
and to begin at the earliest possible
date in the spring. Mr.. Johnson de-
sired to avoid all possible cause for
delay and he evidently saw complica-
tions ahead If the ordinance was
amended. Mr. Smiths amendment was
lost. receiving the support Of only
himself and Councilman Mckay The

months ago and is still maintained

resumption of work at the mine that
is showing most encouraging results
and an advance in the market price OF
National stock to almost double what
1t was when the knocking campaign
was started. While this situation
must be rather discouraging to the
promoters of the campaign, 1t Is not
expected to cause a suspension Of eff

Good Progress in Shaft.
Yesterday the incline shaft that is
being sunk from the main tunnel was
down ITS feet and at the present rate
it should be 200 feet in the next 10 or
IL days. The shaft Is being sunk in
the hanging wall along the vein and
at 200 feet the vein will be crosscut
and preparation made for the extrac-
tion of ore. Before starting the shaft
the vein had been prospected to a
depth of 1870 feet with diamond drill,
showing large body of ore of better
grade than any that had been found
above. 1t is therefore expected that
and drifting from the
shaft will disclose a large body Of
commercial ore which will soon war
rant starting up the mill.

The majority of the council rules
After three months of persistent effor
to deprive the majority of that righ
and privilege, Mayor Mowery las
Monday evening yielded the point ant
accepted the terms of the propose
made to him two weeks before by the
majority and which he at that time
had unqualifledly refused. What in.
duced the mayor to surrender is mere
Iva matter of conjecture, but 1t is sur
missed that he had heard from the peo-
pie since he refused the proposal he
has now accepted. This, followed a
few days later by the action of Harry
L. Day in applying to the district
court for an order restraining the
council from designating a city attor-
ney except one nominated by the
mayor, created a storm of, indignation
throughout the city and included many
who had up to that time supported the
mayor 1t is believed that the express
sions of disapproval of the attitude of
of the action of Mr. Day became so
general that the mayor found it I'M
possible to longer stem the tide hence
the white flag Of surrender in the form
of carefully prepared statement in
which he evidently desired to make II
appear that he was naming the terms.
Harry L. Day and his distinguished
counsel, Judge J. F. Ailshie, again
honored the council with their pres
ence, and it is presumed that they
knew the statement from the mayor
was coming and perchance had hand
in it's preparation A short time after
the council had assembled Sheriff
Pfiel again made his appearance and
served each of the councilmen with
an order signed by Judge Woods tenn
,porarily restraining them from ap-
pointing city attorney. Having thus
barred the council from taking action
independent of the mayor, it is be-
lieved that Mr. Day and his learned
adviser realized as everybody else
did, that it was not at all likely that
Judge Woods would make the injunc-
ton permanent, and that in order to
save their faces it was necessary for
the mayor to accept with the best
grace possible the terms offered him
two weeks before by the majority,
hence the capitulation Of the mayor.

THE COM EFT.
Contract Let to Drive Fifty Feet on
the South Vein.

Contract Let to Drive Fifty Feet on
the South Vein.
AL Honeker, one of the heavy own
ers of the Comet located in the Stew
ems Peak copper belt, visited the prop
erty last Sunday. There are two veins
IN the property, both of which have
been developed to the extent of about
700 feet each. The showing in the
south vein is particularly encouraging
and this is now being extended so feet.
Mr.. Honeker says If he had a cheap
method of transportation there would
be money in shipping the iron ore that
practically fills the vein, much of 1t
being above 60 per cent. He found a
timber company encroaching on his
ground, logging tramway having
been built up the gulch from the st.
Joe and the timber being taken out
clear to the summit. He had no diff

SILVER CABLE TO SHIP
HAS MARKET FOR ORE
RAISE COMPLETED AND MUCH
ORE NOW AVAILABLE
LONG ORE SHOOT.

Reports from the Silver Cable are
to the effect that the company will
soon be shipping ore. The raise con-
meeting the upper and intermediate
tunnels is now completed. Ore was
encountered in this raise when up 80
feet and has been continuous up to
the intermediate tunnel. The road
built by the company to the main
! highway has been completed several
weeks and it is stated that arrange
ments have been completed for the
sale of all the ore the property can
produce, The Silver Cable workings
are all in Montana, though the ground
owned by the company lies partly in
Idaho. To get greater depth by tun-
mel on the Montana side would re-
quire a very long tunnel, and for this
reason 1t is regarded as probable that
when the times comes to consider deep
will be run on the Idaho side, where
the mountain is much sleeper, making
1t possible to reach the ore body in
much shorter distance.
Long Zinc Ore Shoot.
The upper tunnel on the Silver
Gable evidently cut the top of the ore
shoot, which was followed by running
the intermediate tunnel 80 feet below.
In this tunnel the ore shoot has been
followed about 800 feet and is said to
show an average of ~ feet of good
milling ore. At one point there is 31a
feet of clean ore for distance of 70
feet that will run 40 per cent zinc
There is some lead along with the zinc
but the amount Is comparatively un
important 1t is evident that this high
grade zinc goes down, as ore of the
same character was found in the raise
which reported 20 feet in width and
it probably increases in length also.

An atmosphere of expectancy per-
vaded the council chamber as the rou-
tine business was discussed and dis
posed of, a condition that has become
quite common on account of the
strained relations existing between the
mayor and the majority Of the coun-
cil So at the proper time in the pro-
ceedings when Mayor Mowery arose
with solemn dignity betting real
mayor and stated that he had state
ment to present to the council, 1t was
merely case of the expected happen
ing and created no surprise. Diving
deeply into his inside coat pocket the
mayor drew forth a paper which he
unfolded somewhat nervously and
from which he proceeded to read as
follows:

Mayor Mowery's Statement.

"As an officer of the city of Wallace
and a representative of the municipal
ity and it's interests, I address you,
who are acting in like capacity, upon
q matter which surpasses any personal
interest or pride we may have as in
dividual or public officers. 1t is a
matter that affects the interest of the
city of wallace and all of its citizens
and taxpayers. I refer to the dis
agreement which has existed between
the mayor and the members of the city
council in reference to the selection OF
certain appointive officers Of the mu-
nicipality which we have the honor to
serve Under the law, as l understand
it, 1t is my duty to nominate officers
for certain public offices within this
municipality, and 1t is your privilege
and prerogative to vote your consent
or to reject my nominations, as you
shall see fit.
"As you are aware, have rendered
certain nominations for police officers
and the majority of your body have
declined to give your consent to their
appointment have likewise made
certain nomination for city attorney
and the majority Of your body have
rejected each of those nominations
Il have my personal preferences, Of
course, and probably view the fitness
and qualifications or persons for any
one Of these offices in different light
from that in which some Of your num-
ber might view the matter | assure
you, however, that my chief and high
est purpose Is to secure competent, ef-
ficient and honest service for the city

willingly forego or lay aside any per-
sonal preference may have, or any
privilege or prerogative which the law
may confer upon me as to the nomin-
alton Of city attorney II by so doing,

CANADIAN UNIONS
CAN FOOL WORKERS

VANCOUVER. 8. c.. May 29.-So-
called "Canadian'' unions are becom-
ing less popular every day in the
Dominion, despite the efforts of "jin-
goes to arouse a national spirit and
divide workers on the North American
continent.

tiInett @of~Canadian trade Unions as
follows
"a Canadian union Of longshoremen
was recently formed in Vancouver. It
came at a time which was too sugges-
tive, for any one with even half an
idea. to be deceived as to the real
reason responsible for it's birth. The
local union of the International AS
ISOLATION Of -Longshoremen had just
succeeded, after a months strike, in
preventing the stevedoring companies
from lowering wages. The most pow
erful influence the men had on their
side was that through their interna-
tonal they refused at all ports on the
Pacific coast, to touch cargoes loaded
by strikebreakrs in Vancouver. And
that was why they won.
Then came the new union. Its ad-
vent was announced in terms and ar
guments Of the same kind which have
hearlded the very short lives of
similar unions in Canada before It's
sponsors declared they wanted to
form a purely British union without
affiliations in the United States, in
order to protect British workman
from being dictated to by foreign
agitators The longshoremen were to
be protected against themselves Be-

CANAL RENT ORDER

have won their contention against
enforcement. of an executive order
that canal zone workers. be charged
for rent, fuel and lights~during the

A modification of the. order until
June so, 1915, means saving to canal

trades department has insisted that
this order was not in accord with the
spirit of the law passed by the last
Congress which extends sthe present
canal wage scale until this waterway
is completed.
These rates are higher than in con-
tinental United States. Secretary of
Labor supported this position and as a
result Of conferences with Secretary of

DENVER, May 2S.-Saturday, May
20, a great mass meeting will be held
in this city to protest against the un-
just conviction of John r. Lawson Of
the United Mine Workers of America.
It was originally planned by the JUS
tice league to hold the meeting a week
earlier, but the meeting was postponed
in order to secure speakers of national
repute. A monster parade has been
planned and the mass meeting will
be held on the capitol grounds in sight
Of the State house.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The federal
industrial relations commission has
made public letters that passed be-
tween John D. Rockefeller, jr., and his
publicity agent, IVY L. Lee, last year
when the Colorado strike was at its
height.
The letters are sensational and not
only give an insight into the workings
of big business but also show the
value these institutions place ON pub
licity.
Ignorance Dlsproved,
The letters disapprove the claim OF
Rockefeller, jr.. made come time ago to
the commission, that he knew nothing
about the Colorado strike and that he
trusted his western subordinates.
1t is shown that the bulletins issued
last year entitled 1.-The Struggle in
Colorado for Industrial Freedom. was
Lees idea, Endorsed by Rockefeller. jr.
In urging adoption of this plan, Lee
wrote Rockefeller jr: 1T is the
thought that by sending these leaflets
to a laree number Of leaders of public
opinion throughout the country you
will be able to get certain ideas be-
fore the makers of that public opinion
which will be of value" Lee further
suggested that the bulletins be printed
in Philadelphia and then shipped to
Denver to be mailed. The purpose Of
this was to create the opinion that the
coal managers conducted the publicity
bureau.
Furnished Finances.
Rockefeller jr. Endorsed the plan
and mailed Lee a check for $4,000 as
a loan" to start publishing these:
bulletins. The humor, Of this "loan"
was Increased by an invitation to Lee
from the worlds richest young man
to visit him that We may discuss the
phi1anthropie: and educational work
which this office. has: been; ,edoing.,'
The SUGGESTION to- discuss further: u ~
ION wrecking moves was accepted by
Lee.
Wrote Governors Letter.
Rockefeller jr:: decide to keep out
Of public print but wrote Lee that
some of his ideas could be incorpor-
ated in a: letter he (Lee) was writ
ing. for Gov. Ammons to mail to .Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t would appear that
Ammons was sort of rubber
stamp! governor, for Lee answers
John D. 1r.: II am inclined to think
that at the moment the best thing we
can do would be- to give the letter
from Gov. Ammons to President Will
son our attention., and I hope we can
accomplish something very SOON
Rockefeller jr. had. discussed start
Ing a chain. of newspapers, but Lee
vetoed it and the matter was dropped.
The latter was alert, however, to the
value of publicity, and recommended
that every newspaper attack be an
sWered He also Endorsed the sugees-
tlon that ev,ry person who wrote
against the coal companies should be
corrected. Lee says: 1--WE have al
ways done something of this kind. in
the railroad Pennsylvania"
The letters disapprove the claim
that Rockefeller jr. knew nothing of
the strike. On the contrary, it Il
shown that lie was the guiding spirit
IN the work of silencing public pro-
est to the COLORADO ou.rages while
the miners union was being de-
stroyed.
