PINE CREEK ANT|MONY

PROPERTY TO KELLOGG
PEOPLE.

Theodore Brown was up from Pin.

port that he and John Finnell hao
bonded the antimony property which
they have so successfully developed to
Burke Mcintosh and associates of Kel-
logg. The figure is not made public,
but Mr.. Brown stated that ii was at
highly satisfactory price and that
the condition was such that further
handling of the property required more
capital than he and his partner coulc
command. The property is described
as one of exceptional merit. The work
has practically demonstrated an anti

pense of sorting the ore and delivering
it at the railroad was too great with
the facilities at their disposal
New Owners Active.
Immediately upon closing the bond
Mr.. Mcintosh placed Jack Henwood, an
experienced miner, in charge, and un-
der his direction the present workings
are being further explored and ore ta-
ken out for shipment. At the same
time another tunnel is being started
to cut the vein at an additional
depth of 200 feet, requiring a cross
cut 400 feet approximately. When the
showing warrants it is possible to
open the ground with another tunnel
giving a total depth of about 900 feet
The new management will make
tests of the ore to determine the pro-
per treatment with the view to plae
ing mill on the property with thu
least possible delay. The high grade

reason there is heavy loss in sort.

correct, although not confirmed by any

HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE
MILL CLOSED DOWN BY WATER
SHORTAGE-WoRk IN MINE
DURING THE WINTER.

Oscar Nordquist, manager of the In
termountain Mining company, former
ly the Amador, came over from Iron
Mountain the first of the week. 1t
was under his personal direction that
the old mine was rehabilitated during
the summer and a few weeks ago the
new 100-ton mill designed and built
by. Mr.. Nordquist started up and made
a highly successful test run. With the
mill completed and the mine unwater-
ed and everything in good shape for
operation, it was a great disappoint-
ment to him and his associates to find
it necessary to shut down for the win
ter on account of the shortage of wa
ter. There is enough water for the
compressor but not enough to provide
power for the mill at the same time
All operations have therefore been
except some development
work in the mine, which will give en-
ployment to or miners and pump
man. Mr.. Nordquist expects to be en-
gagged at the mine himself most of the
winter

The Crosscut Is Now Nearly a Mile in
Length.
The Hector crosscut, which is being
run about 3 miles from Wallace on the
Mullan road is now almost a mile II
length and has just passed the point
vertically under the vein as disclosed
on the surface. 1t has depth of 1900
feet. More or less mineral, both lead
and zinc. have been encountered dur
ing the last few hundred feet, which
with the strong showing on the sur.
face leads to the belief that when the
vein is finally reached 1t will be found
to contain a commercial ore shoot.

CUT IN uCHTAND POWER RATES WILL SAUE
THOUSANDS DOLLARS TO WALLACE PEOPLE.
REDUCTION IN RATES RUNS PER CENT uP-No RATE
FRED FOR CLUSTER EGHTs-coMMssloN GIVES THE
SPOKANE OFFICE SEVERE JOLT

The decision of the public utilities
commission in the case against the
Northwest Light & Water company
makes deeper cut in the rates for
light and power than was stated in the
last issue of this paper. The rate for
residence lighting will average re-
duction of one-t third and business
houses will get the same and more,
depending upon the amount consum-
ed. The rate ranges from 10 cents for
the first 20 kilowat hours per month
to 2 cents for 500 kilowats. All in ex-
cess of 500 kilowat hours per month
| cent.
Under this rule the rate for large
consumers will give reduction of
more than SO per cent. AS an exam
Pile take consumer who uses 1000
kilowat hours per month. Under the
old rate he paid $155.05 or TX cents
per kilowat hour. Under the new rate
he will get the same service for $4S. 10
less 10 per cent for prompt payment
IHdhluS LIE u6l dluOuuL 14ooO. IHlS
would be at the rate of a trifle over
2 cents for the entire amount consum-
ed, or reduction of II per cent.
The new rate for power figures out
about the same rate of reduction.
The city won on every point and
the extent Of the victory is greater
than wac anticipated by those who
made the fight for the city, The cost
of making the fight is Insignificant in
comparison with the direct and imme-
diate benefits that will be received by
every citizen. 1t has been urged that
some of the new rates are so low that
the company will furnish the service
at an actual loss but that is not
matter that should worry the consum-
er at this time, for the decision of the
commission clearly shows that the ex-
orbitant and unjust charges in the
past will offset for a long time any
loss that the company may sustain
under the new schedule.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-11-25

The Day daily still continues to re-
iterate the falsehood that the decision
Of the commission raises the rates for
cluster lights from $3.50 to 1915, in
spite of the fact that the manager of
6he light company comedies that no
ing of the council last Monday even
ing renewed his offer of a rate Of
$3.50. As a matter of fact, the deci-
sion of the commission made no rate
for cluster lights. fact that was call
ed to the attention of the light com
pany by J. b. Ingersoll, the city's en-
gineer, and upon his suggestion the
manager of the light company COM
municated by wire with the commits
sion and confirmed Mr. Ingersolps
statement He thereupon authorized
Mr.. Ingersoll to state to the council a.
the last meeting that the company
would make $3.50 rate for cluster
lights, which he did IN open council
and the matter is now under consid-
Grafton and will probably be accepted
That the Day daily knew this at the
time It published the alleged proceed
ings OF the council meeting, and knew
that 1t was misstating the facts for
the deliberate purpose of deceiving
the people Of the city on matter of
the highest Importance, does not admit
OF doubt II remains to be seen whe-
ther 1t will continue to repeat the
falsehood after the council has accept
ed the proposition or at least taken
action upon It.

Another matter that seems to great
~ disturb the Day daily is the amount
paid Mr. 1ngersoll the electrical en-
gineer employed by the city in the
case against the Northwest Light e.
Water company. For the information
of the people who are not informed on
the subject, The Miner will state that

Block Out Ore.

The mine is now unwatered down
to the 400 level, where there is report
ed large amount of ore exposed. The
same is true of the 200. 1t is the plar
of the management to drift on this ore
on both levels, open up slopes and put
in chutes in order to be prepared tC
start the mill on ore from the mine al
the earliest date in the spring, or as
soon as water is available.
The trial run of the mill was made
on ore on the dump, of which there is
estimated to be from 5000 to 5000 tons
and which is lower grade than that
now available in the mine. But the
mill made a splendid record in recov-
ering the values and in the short per-
od it was in operation turned out two
carloads of concentrates. The smelter
returns from these shipments have not
been received, but Mr. Nordquist ex-
poets them to be highly satisfactory
and remove any doubt that may have
existed as to the value in Intermoun
tain ore and the feasibility of recover
ing them by concentration.
Electric Power Next Year.
Had a water shortage been ahtici
pated during the summer arrange
ments could have been made to secure
electric power at minimum cost
About two miles up the creek the Kan
sas City company has a large electric
power plant which is used in connec-
tion with it's placer operations. 1t is
now proposed to connect with this
plant so that next fall electric power
will be on hand when the water be-
comes short 1t is about that tim

The commission conceded that 10
per cent was fair return on the COM
pany's investment, but upon the val
uation of the companys property
there was a wide discrepancy in the
figures of the commission and those of
the company. The company claimed
a valuation of 1922, 1850, but to this the
commission demurred to the extent o.
$115,360, placing the valuation a.
$1O7,500. A statement filed with the
commission by the company showed
the annual operating revenue, that is
the amount paid by consumers, to be
$59,3SS65, and operating expenses
$26,64878, leaving net income of
$32, 1927.
The commission cuts the operating
revenue to $41,969.73 and the operat-
Ing expense to $25,7O1.12, to which is
added $524o.6O for depreciation and
$27S for abandoned property" MAX
ing total operating expense of $751;
219.73, leaving a net return of $10,750,
or 10 per cent on the valuation Of the
plant Any material variation from
these figures will be matter for fur
ther consideration by the commission.
