If such a course is pursued. it
will work a great hardship to the
farmer, particularly. Half the
cotton held in warehouses on the
first of February this year, was
pledged for loans, and being held
for higher prices, which we're sub
seQuently realized. Does not every
one know that the borrower upon
this cotton would have that tax to
pay, if he did not get rid Of it be
fore the date named And dread
of the tax would have induced its
shipment in very many instances,
entailing a loss this year of ten
dollars for every bale thus sold un-
der the States tax screw
The whole proposition is unjust
and inequitable, whatever may be
its legal merirs, and a remedy for
it should somewhere be found

Samples brought down indicated good
copper values in the form OF chalco-
pyrite. Unfortunately the supply of
water, which has been very low for
some time. dropped to a point that II
was impossible to develop sufficient
power to run the pump, drills
and the hoist, in fact no more
than enough to keep the pump
going, and as a consequence nothing
has since been done toward developing
the strike. 1t is evident that the strike
is one of great Importance, and fully
justifies the confidence that is felt
that II Is the forerunner of great ore
shoot. 1t is the plan of the manage
ment as soon as power Is obtainable
to continue prosecuting the vein and
then drift west, in which direction 1t
is believed the main ore body will be
found. In the face of the drift about
200 feet west from the top OF the shaft
there Is about two and half feet of
copper ore of good grade, and impof-
tant developments are expected when
the vein is explored 200 feet below
1t is expected that in very short
time there will be an abundance of
water for power, and in the mean time
the depth Of the flume will be in
creased about eight inches which will
not only increase the carrying capacity
but will keep out the snow which was
a great source of annoyance last win
ter.

CONTRACT ON SAB|NA
MAY REACH ORE SHOOT
DEVELOPMENT CARRIED ON BY
SALE OF TREASURY STOCK
NEAR RAILROAD.

The Sabina Mining and Milling
company is taking in supplies for lnt
winter in preparation for the con-
tinuous development of the property
A contract has just been let to Dun
& King to drive No. tunnel an al
ditional 100 feet, the completion II
which will probably disclose an ore
shoot. This tunnel is now in 5O7 feet
and the last 10 feet run showed string
ers Of cube galena In Burke quartz-
lite, the formation that Is characters
tic of the ore deposits Of neighborlng
mines With this strong and well de-
fined vein in a formation so favorable
to ore, the management of the com
pany feel great confidence in striking
la good body Of commercial ore when
the objective point Is reached uader
the favorable showing above.
A Promising Group.
The group Of claims owned by the
Sabina company covers the vein for a
distance of $500 feet. The property is
located north of the Hercules and on
the same hill and about an equal dis ;
lance from the Sunset mine. The
vein follows the course usual In that
great mineral belt, northwest and
southeast, and has been opened at in
tervals throughout the entire distance
by crosscuts, which show 1t to be from
Z to 20 feet wide. A crosscut tunnel
has opened the vein at considerable
depth and shows stringers Of quartz
and oxidlzed iron carrying low values
In lead.
Work has for some time been direct
led to extending No. tunnel, upon
which the contract has just been let,
and which is following the vein. At
about 200 feet or inches of ore
was struck. coming up in the face Of
the drift about two feet and apparent
ly the top of an ore shoot. This con-
tinued for about 10 feet.
Favorable Mining Conditions.
All the claims are covered with g
heavy growth OF timber suitable for
mining and is easily available. No as
easements have ever been levied by
the company, the development having
been accomplished by the sale of the
treasury stock, a small block Of which
Is now being offered to the public e.
j. Dun is president and manager of
the company, and e. f. Hatch is sec
retary-treasurer. Sam Duling, one
OF the pioneer prospectors of the Sun
set district, is a heavy stakeholder.
Another favorable condition for the
operation Of the property is the fact
that 1t is reached by good wagon
road, built on an easy grade, which
connects 1t with the North Side rail-
road at Raven.

CROSSCUT ON MONITOR
A GREAT ENTERPRISE
WILL AFFORD OUTLET TO OTHER
ADJOINING COPPER PROP
ERTlEs-BulLDINGs.

The long crosscut tunnel which Il
designed to open the Monitor mine a.
great depth, the portal of which II
near Adair, on the Milwaukee rail.
road, has now been extended about
500 feet. 1t is estimated that 1000 fee
will have to be run to reach the Mon
itor vein and probably 5000 feet tc
get under the old Monitor workings
on the divide between Idaho and Mon
tana There Is another very large and
promising ledge that will be cut In
about 500 feet at depth of probably
400 feet The vein on the surface is
apparently from 80 to 100 feet wide
and is said to carry some values in
copper
This crosscut Is an enterprise OF
very great Importance, as 1t will af-
ford an outlet at great depth to the
Monitor and other copper properties
which have already been proved OF
great value but which are greatly
handicapped through difficulty OF
reaching transportation from their
present workings
Early Operations.
The Monitor was originally located
by Burton Hill, who Is now In the city,
and the 10 original claims have been
patented. About as many more claims
have since been located covering this
new tunnel The early development
consists of a shaft near the summit
700 feet deep, from which $4,000 In
ore has been shipped, the ore being
hauled to the railroad at Saltese, six
or seven miles. Further shipments
would probably have been made, as
there was plenty of ore in sight on the
various levels in the shaft, but the
great forest fire few years ago de-
stroyed all the buildings of the COM
pany including the shaft house and
hoist 1t was then decided by the
management to start permanent de-
velopment through deep tunnel
rather than restore the equipment
that had been destroyed by fire and
which eventually would have to be
abandoned The driving of this tun-
mel is big undertaking, but the work
is now we'll advanced and all difficult
ties in the way of financing the enter
prise seem to be overcome.
Favorable Working Conditions.
The portal of the Monitor tunnel is
within 1000 feet of the Milwaukee
railroad, having been started high
enough to allow plenty of room for Q
dump and all necessary buildings. A
new two-story bunk house has just
been completed which will accommo-
date 15 or 20 men, also new com
pressor building and other outside i'm
provements of permanent nature.
Only one shift is now working, but 1t
is expected to add another shift soon
and continue two shifts during the
winter. The company has splendid
water power which runs the com
pressor which can be greatly lncreas-
ed when occasion requires It, The
property is being developed under the
direction of Otis Hill, one of the orig
inal owners.
