MATTER IN WHICH THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
ARE MUTUALLY NTEREsTED-LARGE BUSINESS


carefully studied the ground state
that there are two feasible routes. One
of them would involve driving tun-
mel probably half a mile long, which
would allow for a practical grade.
The distance from the present branch
on the west fork of Nine Mile to the
Ray jefferson mill would not be more
than five miles. Another proposed
route which would avoid tunnelltn6
would be to follow the hillside along
the west fork of Nine Mile and swing
round the head of the creek to Lob
son pass and thence down on the east
side of Dobson gulch. This Won.d ne
cessitate probably heavier grades than
the tunnel route but would be less
expensive.
The importance of this rail connec-
tion with Beaver creek Is OF such
pressing importance to this city and
to the railroad company also that Il
should receive immediate attention.

THE WEST HUNTER.
Crosscut Should Reach the Vein With.
in 120 Feet


The West Hunter company, COM
paratively new corporation, sprang in
to prominence in short time, probab-
ly on account of the unusual promise
of the property it was organized to
develop. 1t lies between the Hunter
and the Morning, two of the old pro-
ducing mines of the district, and south
of and adjoining the Gettysburg In
dependence. The ground of the COM
pany lies across Mill creek, less than
mile from Mullan. The vein has
been definitely located for 5000 feet
or more, and samples from open cuts
at numerous points have invariably
shown values in silver and lead. A
crosscut is now being run which will
explore the vein at great depth, al
though at the point of intersection the
depth will not be great The estimat-
ed distance to be run was 290 feet
and of this about 1870 feet remains TO
be run. Drifting will gain depth rapid
Iy and much confidence is felt by
those familiar with the property that
the West Hunter will soon show up
an ore shoot A. M. Strobe, of Null
Ian, is the original owner of the pro-
perty and is the heaviest stakeholder

SILVER MOON.
Manager States That Crosscut Should
Reach Vein in 100 Feet.

In connection with an assessment
which has just been levied, Manager
Ed Ehrenberg, of the Silver Moon
Mining company has issued circular
letter regarding the development of
the property, from which the follow
ing is taken;
Since our last letter to you, dated
January %, 1916, we have driven the
main tunnel a distance of 337 feet,
making the total length of this tunnel
at present 1641 feet. 1t has always
been our expectation to reach our No.
2 vein with this tunnel within about
1900 feet leaving at present about 100
feet further to go. In our last letter
to you we expressed the hope that We
would be able to reach this vein with
the money from the assessment then
levied, but conditions have changed
somewhat since then whereby We
have to pay higher wages to our men,
and the price of all supplies has gone
up, particularly powder fuse and
caps, making the cost of mining far
more expensive. The rock has also
been extremely hard.
"At point in our tunnel about 1850
feet in we struck a diabase dixie, about
three feet wide, cutting diagonally
across the tunnel. and running about
north 10 degrees west. This dixie is
as hard as the quartzite, with no walls
separating the two rocks, but seem to
be frozen together, so to speak. The
course of this dixie indicates that II
will intersect the vein at a point
about so feet west of where the tun-
mel will intersect it, Such a dixie is
always a good indication for ore where
it connects with a vein."

THE MAJESTIC.
Work to Begin Next Week in Cross
cut From Main Tunnel.

A meeting of the directors of the
Majestic Mining company was held in
this city Tuesday to consider plans
for further developing the company's
property. \ few months ago arrange
ments were made for the sale of a
considerable block of the treasury
stock, and it is understood that this
has been consummated which viii en-
able the company to resume after a
suspension during the winter. Three
men will be employed beginning next
week. and they will extend the cross
cut from the main tunnel to the vein,
which it is estimated should be reach
ed in about 40 feet The vein viii be
cut at a depth of about 400 feet and
under a shaft 40 feet deep which
shows or feet of carbonate ore in
ate, together with the strong outerop
of the vein practically the fun length
of the companys ground, inspires
great confidence that the crosscut will
find commercial ore when the vein is
reached. The company owns 13 pat
ented claims north and a little east of

Err TUNNEL.

The regular annual meeting of the
Big Creek Mining company was held
at the office of the company on June
6. More than 100000 shares Of stock
was represented at the meeting in per-
son and by proxy, and the meeting
was made the more interesting by
having representation from Butte, in
the person of Alex ]. Johnston, and
S. G. Cousins from Los Angeles, Calf
The old board Of directors was
elected consisting of G. Scott Ander-
son. A. H. Featherstone, Irving An
derson and w w. Smith, of Wallace
and C. Z. Mccoy, of Belgrade, Mont,
After transacting the general bust
ness the stockholders gave considera-
ton to increasing the capitalization
of the company and to financing the
enterprise to such an extent as will
allow it to enter into extensive oper
ations.
A lower tunnel is contemplated,
which will intersect the ore body on
it's downward trend 500 feet lower
than where operations are now being
carried forward under lease.
The board of directors will call an
other meeting of the stockholders to
determine what will be the better
plan to reach the desired results.
Ore Increases With Depth.
The general activity of the Big
creek section and the high grade ship
ments that are going forward from
some of the developing properties are
attracting much attention to that To-
cality, and the prospect for further
important developments is exceeding
| ly bright The success of the lease
now in operation on the upper ground
Of the Big Creek company gives a
very clear insight to what may be ex-
pected when the company carries out
/ it's plan to open the ground 500 feet
lower. In this connection it is inter
esting to note that the Yankee Boy
on the opposite side of the canyon
| from the Big Creek company, has been
worked by its owners and leasers for
many years in the upper levels, from
which many thousands of dollars have
been realized from the rich silver ore
But the largest amount of ore and
which is equally rich in silver has
been found by the Big Creek Leasing
company on the lowest ground Of the
Yankee Boy, and was encountered on
ly a few months ago after driving g

Drifting both east and west contin
ues at the Union and the showing in
both faces remains about the same as
heretofore reported, the amount Of ore
varying at times, but maintaining
about the same average. In the west
drift the vein was reported the first
of the week to be about 16 feet wide
with strong shoots of ore on both
of milling grade between. In the east
drift the ore shoot along the hanging
wall is being followed. The vein has
been explored now for more than a
hundred feet, and it is the opinion Of
all who have examined it that the
Union will prove to be a great mine.
Considerable attention has been Civ
en- to surface work the last week or
two and the results have been more
than sat-" actory. For more than
1000 feet tho vein has been opened by
cuts which show carbonate ore con-
tanning crvstalized lead and carrying
considerable values in silver.
Open Old Workings.
The place where the Union vein was
cut in the crosscut from the O!eano
is on the Sherman claim AMI far
above and west of the 1li Union work

badly be followed by exploring the
old workings. The opinion Is adVanc-
ed in some quarters that the strike
on the Union is not III the same vein
that was worked years ago. Whether
there is support for this theory ex-
cept the fact that the vein was cut
much sooner than expected is not
known, but the work planned by the
leasing company will determine the
facts before long

pany has been organized under the
laws of Nevada to take over the lease

NORTHERN LIGHT CO.
CROSSCUTT|NG FROM4OO
FORMATION is FINE AND STRING
ERs OF ORE COMING IN
GOOD PROGRESS.

Ben G. Harmon, manager of the
Northern Light Mining company,
came up from the mine on Pine creek
today. In conversation with him 1t
was plain to see that he was in eX-
cellent spirits over the progress OF
work on the Northern Light and the
indications of finding commercial ore
in the crosscut that is now being rap
idly extended from the 400 level. The
cutting of a station at the 400 ana
also a skip pocket consumed consider
able time, but these have been COM
pleted in good shape and the erosscut
is now going ahead at a rapid rate
south to the vein. Yesterday 1t had
been advanced 65 feet and is going
forward at the rate of 5 feet per day.
This record is expected to be increased
to 7 feet in a few days, as additional
machines have been ordered and when
they arrive two drills will be worked
on the same bar.
Cut Stringers of Ore.
In sinking the shaft to the 400 Mr.
Harmon believed he would get out Of
the slaty formation of the upper level
and in this he was correct. The for
nation is Burke quartzite. When 30
feet from the shaft stringer of ore
was cut and at 81 feet another string
er came in. These stringers are OF
course of no commercial value, but
finding them is nevertheless very graf
flying to the management, as they
indicate the mineral bearing character
of the formation and greatly strenth-
en- the conviction that valuable ore
bodies will be found when the veins
are reached. The first vein should be
cut at a distance of IT'S feet and the
second at 2O5. There is also a small
er vein which made it's appearance on
the 200 between these two main veins
which may prove of considerable I'M
portance at this increased depth. There
lis still another further to the south
which will be reached by this cross
cut and which has never been explor-
ed above.
A Strong Company.
The directors of the Northern
Light have elected the following Off
GERS, and the list contains the names

long crosscut at heavy expense. The
upper workings of the Big Creek
company indicate larger ore bodies as
depth is gained, just as results have
proved that to be the case on the Yam
kee Boy, and it is probable when the
company carries out its plan to devel-
op the lower ground there will be
some interesting revelations in the
form Of high grade silver ore.

William Shannon, manager Of the
Four Timbers Mining company, was
in the city Tuesday arranging for
transporting the compressor to the
property The building for the COM
pressor is in readiness to receive it,
and within week everything should
be in running order. Poles for the
electric power line are being placed in
position by the Washington Water
Power company, the motor is on the
ground and Mr.. Shannon expected the
line would be completed by the time
the compressor is ready to receive the

Carbonate Ore on Surface.

While waiting for the arrival of the
compressor Mr.. Shannon has been
giving considerable attention to sur
face work and this has been attended
with highly gratifying results. Open
cuts have been made on the vein at
in places 4 or feet of carbonate ore
with here and there particles Of ga
lena, has been disclosed The vein is
said to be 200 feet wide and has been
partially explored by crosscut tun-
mel from the hanging wall side, show
ing strong naturalization. A lower
tunnel has been started on the vein
and is now in about so feet, and this
is where the work is to be taken up
with the new equipment The tunnel
is on the foot wall side and will be eX-
tended about $50 feet, which will give
about 300 feet depth under the best
surface showing. At that point the
vein will be crosscut and the drift
continued at the point which makes
the best showing 1t is possible to
obtain a depth of 1900 feet on this
level. Two shifts will be employed.
The Four Timbers is owned main
ly by Colfax, Wash, people, and the
company has recently been placed up
on a financial basis which insures
thorough development Of the property.

THE POTATO A GERMAN ALLY

A few years ago DR.. Simon N.
Patten said it was the potato that
beat France in 1870, and some peo-
pie thought it joke; but I wish
to repeat it that it was the potato
that drove back the Russian hosts
in 1915, BY eating potatoes in all
the forms we know, the Germans use
about one-fourth Of the crop. Then
comes pig feed, potato -four, starch
and alcohol. German shells have
been carried to the batteries on the
Russian front in motor cars driven
with potato alcohol and guided by
chauffeurs who were in part potato
fed, as were the horses, the pigs, the
COWS, the wives and the children
back home on their little FARMS.

HIS VISION OF FUTURE CITY
French Architect Secs Great Changes
to Be Brought About In the
Years to Como.

At . recent gathering Of world-re-
nowned architects Edouard Henard,
architect for the city OF Paris, pre-
scented a paper which included a num-
Der of novel suggestions as to the re-
quirements In the city plan Of the fu-
ture. He predicted that public service
within the next quarter of century
will include many details not yet even
under consideration. Most of these
are to be supplied by tube and pro-
vision for perfect network Of serv-
ice tubes must be made in city plan
ming. They would seriously interfere
with present arrangements.
Vacuum cleaning may be one Of
these and 1t will require pipe from
every house for the pneumatic dust
removal which will be regarded as an
essential part of public health work.
AS the uses Of cold air increase, 9TH
er tubes will supply It to lower the
temperature as desired and for the
distribution Of fresh air from the sea
or the mountains. Mr. Henard empha-
sized the feasibility of this fresh air
supply as q health measure, because
Of the fact that a meter OF fresh air
from a nearby street contained 5000
disease germs, while the same amount
from the mountains or the sea need
contain almost none. AS coal oil is
largely used for fuel purposes In Paris
and is productive Of less smoke and
dust than other fuels, he suggests the
possibility Of an oil pipe service for
all residences similar to the gas pipes
now in use.
The old idea that the street should
be level with the ground may in fu-
ture be considered erroneous. It
should be sufficiently above the sur.
face 1t is held, to give room for all
these service utilities between 1t and
the ground. The adjacent houses
should have basement floors. The
sidewalks and roadways should be
built like continuous substantial
bridges, which after proper construc-
ton, would not need to be meddled
WIN CANCpN lOl lCpdhb lhCg buOulu
be supported by walls of masonry par
allel to the adjacent houses and on a
level with the second story.
Such plan would make the modern
city street two stored. the upper
part for pedestrians and light weight
vehicles, the lower for service and
heavy traffic. This arrangement has
already been introduced in Chicago
for traffic between the railway sta
tions and certain private warehouses.
Reinforced concrete roofs, Mr.. He
nard holds, will provide gardens and
also landing places for the aeroplanes
which will come into more general use.
Garages and hangers will be available
below the surface and great elevators
will lift these machines from their
subterranean quarters as desired.
The beginning Of these innovations
is said to be already in sight. At least
one large American hotel has already
provided a roof landing for aeroplanes.

ground and garden built upon bridge
trestling fifty feet from the ground.
