 The real need of an hospital in Westerly was again forcibIy ernpha- sized Saturday, when young Joseph Contezlan, with one foot severed and the toes of the other crushed, and suf- fering also from cuts in the head and body, as the result of being struck by a train was brought to Westerly. from point east of Stonington borough. When he arrived the profuse flow of blood that had preceded was stanch- ed, but he suffered great pain. which was partially relieved by the physi- clan called to his assistance.
 For an hour and half this pernla- nently mutilated young man, for the lack of better facilities, the lack of a hospital, remained upon the blood coated stretcher, and awaited the coming of the train to take him to New London, where he was transfer red to Lawrence hospital and received the surgical and medical treatment, that he ought to have received three hours before in Westerly.
 There have been numerous similar cases in Westerly, and in some in stances death has occurred by reason of lack of hospital treatment. Mrs. Louise Hoxie, who died recently leav- ing a trust estate estimated to be $1, 500, 900 in value. gave the nucleus for hospital fund short time be- fore she died. She created a trust fund of $10,000 for an hospital in Wes- terly. the hospital to be established when a fund of $250,000 Is available for that purpose! The question is raised: Will Westerly be without a hospital until the plan Of the 7ate Mrs Hoxsie is realized?

PROGRESS AT TARBox.
Shaft Repaired and Unwatered-Beain
Sinking at Once.
(Anaconda Standard)

For the first time since the terrible
forest fires of 1910 swept over the
east Occur d'Alene district and des-
troyed all the surface property of the
TarboX mine, the shaft has been free
from water, The last was drained
a day or two ago, to the delight Of
the management The pumps are now
being lowered and preparations for
greater activity than has been possible
are now being made.
With two shifts OF the best miners
| in the northwest working, we are get
ting ready to lower the shaft from the
400 to the 500 level At the rate estl-
mated, we will have this work done
inside of 40 days" said Richard OAK
on, general manager of the Tarbox.
I'VE will push the development and ex-
ploration as rapidly as we can, and to
this end will put on third shift of
miners soon. The work will he done
as expeditously as money and men
can cause it to be done, for the cfliccrs
and stockholders of the company have
been chatlng under the unavoidable de-
lays"
Mr.. DaXon thinks shipments from
the 500 level will be begun by May g.
ON the 400 level the ore runs largely
to zinc, but lower down a better grade
of richer ore is anticipated. Through
the development done vita ? Winze,
before the fire of 1910, it was discover
ed that on the 500 level there is Il vein
or ledge of good high grada lead and
zine ore Is feet or more across. 1t is
the expectation that ledge will be cut

WILSON GOES TO ALASKA.
Federal Engineer Will Be Superin-
tendent of Copper Mine.

Byron Wilson, mining engineer, who
for seven years has been connected
with the Federal Mining & Smelling
company, has been advanced to the
position of superintendent of a copper
mine in Alaska, owned by the Gug-
genheim interests and under the di-
rect control of the Tacoma Smelling
company. Mr.. Wilson left Tuesday
morning for his new position. The
mine is located near Seward. The
mine is unique in the manner in
which the ore is handled. An aerial
tramway 5000 feet long delivers the
ore direct from the mine to the dock
thence it is transferred to ships which
transport it to the smelter at Tacoma
Mr.. Wilson's long connection with
mining operations in this district has
given him wide circle of friends and
acquaintances, all of whom, while
regretting his departure, are greatly
pleased at his promotion in recogni-
tion of his ability and faithful service.

POWER FOR PLACER CREEK.
Washington Water Power Company Is
Preparing to Extend Lines.

The last meeting of the city council
granted right of way through the city
ITO the Washington Water Power COM
pany, which is preparing to extent
electrical power lines up Placer creek.
This is an important step and indicates
the growing Importance the territory
drained by Placer creek as a prospect
i've mineral producer. The Washing
ton Water Power company has receiv :
ed at least two applications for cleo
trio power and possibly more, and now
that the right to pass through the city
has been secured the extension of the
lines will begin at an early date. One
of the applicants is the Idaho Nevada
Exploration company which is devel-
oping the Castle Rock. The company
has heretofore used water power, but
this has been found inadequate to
meet the requirements The other
known applicant is the Osceola Min
ing company, which is preparing to
begin extensive work on the group of
claims formerly known as the War
Eagle, on the west fork of Placer.

Interstate Callahan Established a High
Record In MarCh--TOnnaSe and Profits

The Interstate Callahan company
will establish a new record this month
both in the tonnage shipped and in
net profits. This was the announce
ment of C. w. Newton, superintend-
ent of the bonanza zinc mine, who was
in the city yesterday. The highest
record of the company up to this
time was made in last February, when
the total shipments were 6265 tons of
crude ore and concentrates which
yielded net profit of $27S,2S7.2O. Mr..
Newton would not state to what ex-
tent in his judgment this record
would be broken but he said with
only two more days of the month left

FOUR CARLOADS OF ORE
SHIPPED BY NATIONAL
is BELIEVED THAT MARCH WILL
SHOW PROFIT-CLOSE
RECOVERY.

The National earned a profit during
March is the information received from
a reliable source yesterday and which
the Miner believes is correct. Three
carloads of concentrates have been
shipped and the fourth will be ready
for shipment tomorrow. These cars
will average 40 tons each, making the
total shipments for the month 100
tons. Shipments referred to in the
recent report of the manager gave a
return of SIG per ton, and on that
basis the value of the March ship
ments will be $1S,56O. Definite figures
on the cost of operation are not OBJ
tainable, but it is believed that $751;
900 would be liberal estimate Con-
sidering that the mill is running only
one shift and that there are heavy
costs in connection with handling the
ore from the mine to the mill which
will soon be reduced and probably
eventually wiped out, the showing for
the month just closing must be ac-
cepted as highly gratifying.
Excellent Mining Results.
The National is making an excell-
ent milling record, perhaps the best
of any mill in the district. There is
hardly trace of mineral value In the
tailings. This result has been accom-
plished by changing and readjusting
the machinery and the results have
been all that could be desired.
The new and more powerful motors
for the electric tram have not arrived
but are expected every day. When
these arrive and are in operation the
mill will be run on full time, when it
is believed that the National will be
in position to earn a steady and sub
stantial profit. There is "a large
amount of ore above the 1900 and it
is in shape to be mined and trans
ported to the mill at the minimum
cost.
Those who are in position to know
something of the working of the Ma
tional mill state that in it's recent op-
Grafton the coarse crushing end has
been brought above the rated capac
ity, and the products have been made
to mill better in the tube mills. This
has improved the flotation end Of the
plant and cut the failing loss, thereby
raising the capacity of the whole mill
per shift.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-03-30

there was no doubt that March would
be the banner month. That means
that the net profits for the month will
probably be 100000 or more.
Speaking of the condition of the
mine, Mr.. Newton said that it could
hardly be more satisfactory Work
of extending the shaft 400 feet is now
well under way and it is going down
at the rate of feet per day. The
installation of the new hoist has been
completed, a work which necessitated
the rebuilding of the shaft
and the excavation of an immense
station on the main
working level to accommodate the big
machine and provide for its operation.

RICH ORE IN YANKEE BOY.
Big Creek Leasing Company Soon t.
Be Making Shipments.

The strike made a few weeks ago
by the Big Creek Leasing company
has proved to be fully as important
as the first reports indicated. The
company has the lower ground of the
Yankee Boy under lease and the strike
was made in a raise about 300 feet
above the lower tunnel. In converse
ton with D. w. Price, manager of the
company, he stated that drifting and
stopping are now in progress and that
shipments will begin as soon as the
wagon road to the railroad is in con-
dition for hauling. The distance is
about two miles. The vein is about
five feet wide. Two feet of this is
gray copper ore that will average 443
ounces in silver, and three feet is low
er grade, but averages 206 ounces. The
figures were derived from actual tests
made in order to get correct line on
the values before shipping. The val
ues found in the lower grade was
quite surprise, as the management

mine for the purpose Of jigging it in
order to raise the grade for shipment
The assays, however, show that this
process is unnecessary.
At the present time work is direct
ed to extracting ore The drift from
the raise has been extended over 40
feet and at the same time a stope has
been opened which is in solid ore. A
crosscut will soon be run to cut the
vein on the tunnel level, the strike in
the raise having given very def1n-
ite line on it's location and 1t will
probably be encountered in less than
100 feet. With this accomplished
there will be available stopping ground
to height of 400 feet, or to the tun-
mel that marks the boundary of the
lease.

After the reading of the resolution
awarding the contract to the Warren
! Construction company Council
man Smith offered a substitute
Awarding the contract to the Inde-
pendent Asphalt company of Seattle.
! The substitute was voted down by
the same vote recorded above. The
introduction of the Independent AS
phalt company as an active candidate
for the contract places the two coun-
Gilman who supported it in rather an
awkward position, one that calls for
an explanation. At an informal meet
ing after the paving bids had been
filed, at which all members of the
council were present, it was unani-
mously agreed that the bid of the In
dependent Asphalt, company was so
low that 1t could not possibly do good
work and in accordance with speci-
flcations, and that therefore the bid Of
that company would not be consid-
cred. The bid was for $106 per square
yard, and it Is stated on good author
ity that the actual cost of the paving
the company proposed to put down
would be between 80 cents and 81 per
yard. In private conversation after
ward at least one of the councilmen
who voted to give the Independent
Asphalt company the contract stated
that he would not vote to give that
company he contract because it was
impossible for it to do the work at
that figure. Why did these council
men change their minds and vote to
award the contract to a company
which they were convinced could not
comply with it's terms? Why were
they willing to tie the city up in a
contract which would by their own ad-
mission force the property owners to
pay for an inferior job of paving? Is
there any economy in saving $25. 900
on contract by putting down a pave
ment that will require exhorbitant
charges almost from the
start and which will probably have to
be replaced entirely in four or five
years?

HIGHLAND SURPRISE.
Mine and Mill Closed on Account of
lmpassabe Roads.

Washouts and bad bridges have
practically closed the Pine creek
wagon road and there will probably
be no change in this situation until
the high water period is passed 1t is
for this reason that the Highland
Surprise mine and mill are closed
down, it being impossible to haul ore
and concentrates to the railroad with
the road in it's present condition. w.
w. Papesh, president of the Highland
Surprise company, is quoted as saying
that all available space in the mill is
filled with concentrates, 500 tons of
ore in the bins and probably 1000 tons
of ore broken down in the mine. I'm
der these circumstances it was i'm
possible to continue operations until
ore shipments could be resumed.

eral months past, has recently disclosed
an ore shoot which bids fair to be one
of the richest ever found in the dis
trict.
High Value in Silver.
The peculiar feature of the ore in
this property is in the fact that it has
its principal value in silver, with a
good percentage of copper. The recent
strike of high grade ore was found
in a new upraise that had been start
ed from the lower tunnel, $40 feet be-
low the surface Ore of unusual rich
ness has been found throughout en-
tire workings of this property, from
the grass roots down to it's deepest
workings, and the discovery of a class
of ore even richer and of higher values
than that which has been extracted
from it's upper section, adds much
interest to the property and the sec
tion in which it is located.
Will Install Power Plant.
In a conversation with G. Scott
Anderson, the president and manager
of the Big Creek Mining company,
and who has financed and directed its
operations for the past fifteen years, |
we are informed that plans are being
perfected for extensive operations on
that portion of the territory Of this
enterprise that is not under lease at |
the present time. 1t is the purpose of
the management to install a power
plant connecting the same up with |
ment work to advance as rapidly as
circumstances will permit.
Great Mineral Zone.
The Big Creek workings are on
the same zone as the Yankee Boy, the
Yankee Boy is on the east side of Big
Creek and the Big Creek property on
the other. The rich exposures made
on each Of these properties recently is
but a demonstration of merit, strength
and continuity Of this ore zone. Be-
ginning west of the Bunker Hill and
extending eastward far beyond the
eastern boundary line of the state of
Idaho, it bids fair to be one of, if not
the most important and profitable ore
zones in the district Passing
as it does in it's easterly and westerly
trend, only one and one half miles
south of this city, the results of it's
operations must be tributary to Wal
lace, and it will naturally contribute
to its prosperity. q,

assistance from the county commits
sioners, or any expression that would
encourage the belief that assistance
would later be given, has undertaken
the task of opening the wagon road

companies and individuals who have
mining interests in that section and
who are unable to proceed with devel-
opment work until the road Is pass

and if roadway is not cut through
them it is doubtful if the road will be
open for traffic before the middle of

duty Of the county commissioners to
see that it is kept in condition for
travel. 1t has been demonstrated that
Placer creek is a section of great
mineral possibilities and development

planned much work for this year. They
should have the encouragement of the
county commissioners to the extent of
keeping the roads in condition for

is a matter in which every citizen of
the county is interested. The men
who invest their money in new fields
should not be required to spent it in
keeping the public highways in pass

which rests upon the county govern
ment, and commissioners who do not
respond to that obligation are dere-
lict in the performance of their duties.

THERE IS NO ECONOMY IN CHEAP PAVING
SAY FIVE MEMBERS Of THE CITY COUNCIL
ENTER INTO CONTRACT NsUREs BEST QUALITY OF PAVE
MENT AND WHICH WILL SAVE MONEY THE END-AcT
AFTER EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION.

Ia awarding the contract to pave
district No. to the Warren Con-
struction company, the council has
been guided by a thorough knowl-
edge of the character of paving to be
| put down by the successful bidder
and an exhaustive investigation of
| the paving offered by the only COM
petitor which was under considera-
tion, the oregon Engineering & Con-
struction company Upon the invita-
ton of these two companies and at
their joint expense, the following
members of the council visited Port
land, Oregon CITY, McMinnville and
Salem for the purpose of inspecting
and comparing their work: c. M.
johnson, L. M. Reeves, George Moi
son and George Gilmore; also d. M
FAIRIES, assistant city engineer Coun-
ciImen Smith, Mckay and Beamer
We're unable to make the trip. The
contest had narrowed down to these
two companies, and there was man
ifest feeling among the councilmen as
we'll as other citizens who were in
terested in the matter that if the
oregon company made good its
claims as to the quality of its paving
as represented by sample, that com
pany would get the contract, for there
was difference of about $4,000 in
cost in favor of that company The
delegation visited all the cities named
and devoted much time to a personal
inspection of the paving, and they
conferred with municipal officers and
private citizens, men who were who'll
ly disinterested so far as the rival
companies were concerned, but who
were in position to observe and ar
rive at definite opinions as to the
quality of paving. The information
they obtained in the various Oregon
cities visited coupled with their per-
sonal knowledge of the work of the
Warren Construction company here,
convinced them that the best inter-
ests of the city would be served by
the adoption Of bitulithic paving on
account of its superior wearing quail
tiles adaptibility to climatic condi-
tions and to all classes of traffic and
the low cost Of maintenance. These
in their judgment more
than offset the difference in cost
When these views were embodied in
a resolution awarding the contract to
the Warren Construction company
and submitted to the council, it was
adopted by the following vote: Yes
Johnson, Reeves, Gilmore, Moison and
Beamer. No-Smith and Mckay
