COOLER Weather FOR ACTION
Directors of New Organization Hope to
Have Plans for Organization Complet-
ed Early in Sept.-Many Who Be-
come Executives Must Show Worth.

A lot of people seem to be getting
just little worried over what has be-
come of the Kenosha Chamber of Com
merce. The organization has not been
forgotten and President 2. g. Simmons
gives assurance that the work of COM
plotting the organization will be taken
up within the next few weeks Just as
soon as the weather moderates a lit
tie. The special committee of the
Board of Directors headed by Attor-
ney James Cavanagh, to which was
given the important work of recon-
mending the secretary for the organi-
cation, has been busy regardless of hot
weather and scores of letters have
been written in an effort to get line
on the accomplishments of some of the
men who are seeking this position.
With more than sixty applications for
the position as secretary the commit
tee will investigate every one Of them
before making its final report to the
Board of Directors and the members
of the committee will take trips to
several cities in order to get first hand
information in regard to the work of
some of the applications who are favor
ably considered for the position.
"The man who is to be named as
secretary of the Kenosha Chamber of
Commerce must be able to show that
he knows something about organiza-
tion," suggested member of the
Board of Directors this morning. "He
must be willing to come to Kenosha
and aid in organization and the value
of his position will be lot dependent
on the value that he can show as an
organizer A good secretary for the
Kenosha Chamber of Commerce must
be good organizer and we believe
that the best possible way for him to
show his ability along organization
lines is by aiding the directors in get
ting the movement underway"
Several of the men VINO have been
suggested for the position have assured
the committee that they would be glad
to undertake the work of ORIGINATING
the association which they hope to
serve.
While no date has been set for the
next meeting Of the Board of Directors
the meeting will be called some time
early in September and then plans will
be completed to rush the work of or
ganization. It is plannd to have a
whirlwind membership campaign prob
ably lasting for a week and in this
week it is expected that more than
thousand members will be secured for
the Chamber Of Commerce. The mem
berships are to be written on the three
year plan in order to secure the sup
port of the organization during the
period necessary to get its work
well under way.
A hundred of the most prominent
men of Kenosha are to be asked to
serve on the committee on member.
ship and these men will be represen.
tative of every branch of industry in
the city. The women of Kenosha will
also be represented on the committee
as it is expected that at least two
hundred Of the women of the city
will become members of the Chamber
Of Commerce.

ALIENS SHOW NO INTEREST
Smallest List Of Applicants for Second
Papers Since Enactment of New Law
To Be In Court On September 25th
With National Election in Sight.

Candidates for primary nominations
in Kenosha county have heard the call
of the corrupt practice act and every
man running for Office has either filed
an expense account with the county
clerk or has notified him that the ex-
penses contracted were of such re-
cent origin that it was not necessary
under the law for him to file. A dozen
expense accounts have been filed with
the County Court and these reports
show that the "wasted art" which is
decorating the posts and fences of Ke-
nosha county, is the only expense OF
men who are running for Office this
year. No affidavits of emo expense
have been filed with the clerk, but he
has instructed the candidates that
these must be fled not later than next
Saturday and that there must be some
statement of campaign expenses filed
by every candidate by that time.
This is mandatory under the law.
OF the accounts filed Frank S. Sym.
monds with an account of $81.62 leads
the van. Mr.. Symmonds is making q
vigorous campaign for the Office of dis
trict attorney. His opponent, Peter
Fisher, seeking the nomination ON the
Republican ticket against Symmonds,
scheduled expenses of $41.50.
Tom Scott, Republican candidate for
sheriff, shows expenses of 1850 and
his opponent, Clarence Blackman, has
expended 1915 more, or a total of
$20.75 George B. McCarron is the
only one of the Democratic candidates
to hold that his expenses have come
within the law. His account shows the
expenditure of $3.50. Other accounts
filed are John f. Schmitt, 1880; Nor
riss Barnett, 1857 William Smith,
$500; James M. Wells, $$39.57; James
Crossin, $1,000, and B. M. DeDiemar
$3.50.
All candidates who incurred ex-
penses after the 10Th day of August
were not required to file these on last
Saturday and they will comply with
the law by fling the expenses by
next Saturday.
Aliens in Kenosha are showing lit
tie interest in the approaching election
even though a president and full
slate of national officials are to be
elected and there are but twenty-five
petitions for second papers filed to be
heard on September 25th in the Cir
cult Court. This is the smallest num-
Der of petitions filed at any time since
the new law went into effect. In
other years there has been a great rush
for aliens to get voting privileges be-
fore the national election, but this
year they do not seem to care. Petit
tions for the March term are now be-
ing filed and the men who get their
second papers at that term will be
permitted to vote at the city election
in the spring. The men who get their
second papers in September will vote
at the November election but the fact
that they have filed petitions for these
papers does not in any way give them
the right to vote at the September
primaries.
AS there is only a small number of
these petitions the electisn officials
will be fully informed as to the iden-
tity of these men.

DREDGING ON NORTH SIDE.
Belief That Operations Will Begin on
LARGE Scale Next Season.

Under the direction of j. S. Wyatt,
"a large force of men was engaged for
a period of about four months last
year prospecting the ground of the
Occur d'Alene Mining company, which
extends from the mouth of Prichard
creek to the headWaters, distance of
about thirteen miles, including all the
ground along the creek except the
Golden King and a claim owned by
Ben Walker. Two Keystone drills
Were kept busy day and night SYSTEM
Ptically sinking prospect holes to bed
rock covering a large section of the
ground. While no information was
given out as to the result Of this pros
,ecting, the impression prevails
around Murray that it was very salts
factory, and that dredging operations
ION large scale will be inaugurated
next spring. This large tract of placer
ground was originally sold to a Bos-
ton syndicate by the late Barry N.
IIilliard, but it is now believed to have
passed into the hands of the Guggen-
helm Exploration company

GOLDEN CHEST.
Report That Company May Build a
New Mill in the Spring.

Owing to the shortage of water and
other difficulties in handling the ore,
the Golden Chest at Murray has sus-
pended operations for the winter. The
Golden Chest came into much pro-
minence during the past year on ac-
count of the large amount of tung-
stem ore in connection with the gold,
and considerable expense was incur
red in changing the mill to recover the
tungsten as we'll as the gold. While
these changes were hardly as success
full as was anticipated, they demon
strated the practicability of saving
both metals. In the meantime the
price of tungsten has dropped from the
high level of a year ago to about SIT
per unit. At this figure it Is still a
very valuable factor in the Golden
Chest ore, and it is reported that the
'owner of the property, Vivian Green,
of New York, Is now considering the
construction of new mill with the
view to a close recovery of both the
gold and tungsten.

MURRAY HILL.
Company Will Soon Begin Sinking on
Ore From Main Tunnel.

Mining Geologist.

Company Will Soon Begin Sinking on
Ore From Main Tunnel.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Murray Hill Mining
company in Spokane last week 1t was
decided to begin sinking a two-com-
partment shaft as soon as the supply
of water for power is available. Ac-
cording to statement by c. e. NAL
lette, president of the company the
shaft will be sunk at point about
1900 feet from the portal of the tunnel
and at depth of 750 feet. 1t will
start on an ore shoot about 3B feet
wide and which has been proven for a
distance of 70 or 80 feet. The ore is
of excellent milling grade, yielding a
zinc concentrate, it is said, of from 49
to 50 per cent The company has
mill and water power for all purposes,
and is altogether we'll equipped for OPP
Grafton Shortage Of water forced a
suspension a few weeks ago, but q
sufficient volume is expected soon. The
Murray Hill was formerly known as
the Black Horse and upwards of twen-
ty carloads of ore and concentrates
have been shipped from the property"
The following officers were reelected
for the ensuing year: G. e. Mallette,
of Spokane, president; r. C. Feehan, of
Murray, vice president; c. c. Tenny, Of
Spokane, secretary.

Seventeen Teams Engaged Hauling Ore
From Pine Creek Mines

Pine creek Is rapidly advancing in
importance as a mineral producing
section in spite of the fact that it is
still without railroad facilities and is
forced to haul ore and supplies over
very bad wagon road. However,
snow will soon cover it up and bob
sleds will take the place of wheel We
hicles for few months. by which time
it is confidently expected that railroad
construction will be under way. AS an
evidence of the ore tonnage that is
now being shipped by Pine creek mines
in spite of the adverse conditions, 1t is
learned that no less than II A.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-11-30

horse teams will be engaged in hauling
after the first of December The High
land Surprise will have eleven, the
Douglas four, and the Constitution
two. These teams now haul between
four and five tons at a load and make
one trip day. With snow roads the
load will be largely increased, probab-
ly six tons. On this basis it is safe
to say that Pine creek will be ship
ping between two and three carloads
of ore per day during the winter, and
will be in position to ship before
spring.

Everything in the course of con-
struction that could be injured by un-
favorable weather is under cover at
the property of the Snowstorm Con-
solidated Mines. The mill is under
cover except the coarse ore bins, and
the heating plant will be completed
before Thanksgiving day. All of the
machinery is on the ground or in
transit the contracts requiring it's de-
livery by December Is. Some of the
parts can be installed in "a hours af-
ter arrival. The dam has been fin
ished and concrete is being poured
for the power house foundations. Two
work trains Of the Snowstorm rail-
road are hauling material.
I'VE are getting a better grade OF
laborers than last summer. The crews
are we'll organized, particularly the
mill men, who will begin installation
as soon as required. We have be-
tween 500 and 600 men, and can use
more, including carpenters and mill
wrights, carpenter helpers and pipe

TERRIBLE EDITH
Gasoline Compressor Installed on VAL
liable North Side Property

NdSOIiNC VII
liable North Side Property
Wash Snyder, majority owner of the
Terrible Edith, situated a short dis
tance above Murray and about a mile
and a half from the railroad, is pre-
pairing to begin development Of the
property which has been idle since the
expiration of a lease early in the year.
A gasoline compressor has been de-
livered and is now probably in run
ming order. The Terrible Edith is Gre
dited with shipping 60 carloads of
lead and zinc ore, and some of the
lead shipments are said to have been
the highest grade that were ever ship
ped from the district. All shipments,
both lead and zinc, yielded a handsome
profit Other owners are the Wood
estate represented by Lyman Wood of
this city, James Wood, of Murray and
Featherstone & Fox, of this city.

LOST CABIN COMPANY
LEAD.z|NC ORE SHOOT
COMPRESSOR lNsTALLED-RUN.
MING cRosscuT ON NORTH
SIDE PROPERTY.

Clarence c. Landes came over from
Murray Monday where he is giving
his attention to the equipment and
development of the Lost Cabin q
property of exceptional promise on
Bear gulch, about miles above Muir
ray. The limited development has dis
closed an ore shoot 70 feet In length
and varying in width from l to feet.
The upper tunnel in which this ore Is
disclosed was run as a crosscut 100
fleet and 70 feet on the vein with ore
the entire distance. Only about so
feet of depth is gained. The ore con-
tains % per cent zinc, 7 per cent lead
6 ounces silver and 81 in gold, There
tests have been made for that metal.
The Lost Cabin group covers the ledge
for distance of $500 feet or the
length of three claims, and shows up
strongly on the surface. 1t is about 3
miles from the railroad with which it
is connected by good wagon road on
an easy grade.
Driving Lower Tunnel.
A second tunnel is being driven
which will cut the vein las feet ver-
tically below the upper tunnel. This
tunnel has been driven 221 feet by
Inland. The hard rock and increased
cost of supplies has increased the ccst
to such an extent that it was found
necessary to put in machine drills. A
gasoline compressor has just been in
stalled and began operations the first
of this week. The tunnel will cut the
vein in about 115 feet at a point about
100 feet from the ore as disclosed in
the upper level, but it is probable that
ore will be found at the point of in
tersection. Altogether the Lost Cabin
appears to be among the most prom
Using prospects on the North Side.
The property is owned by the Lost
Cabin Mining company, of which
Mr.. Landes, H. E. Worstell of this
city, and William Mccarthy, of Spo-
kane, are the chief owners Mr. Lam
des left Tuesday for his home near
Plummer, having been absent about
three months. He expects to return
in few days and give his attention
to the development Of the Lost Cabin
during the winter.

Letter to Stockholders.

In his letter to the stockholders
Manager Rogers says:
Your president, Mr.. w. w. Papesh,
stated in his brief report of october
16, 1916, that your property would
soon be on paying basis. In that he
was. correct, During the last year we
have enlarged and improved our mill
at a considerable expense Develop
ment work in the mine has blocked
out about 100000 tons of ore in the
Highland Chief claim, of an average
assay value of about 3.5 per cent Pb.
2 or Ag. IA per cent In. per cent
Fe This ore is worth net to us, when
zinc is selling around 8 cents per
pound about $3.50 per ton, or a total
of $464,OO0 net ore in sight. This is
mostly complex lead-zinc ore.
Besides this block in the Highland
Chief, we have another block in the
Surprise, the extent of which has not
been determined. A winze was sunk
SO feet on this ore and during last
month we extracted 1715 tons of an
average assay of 1876 per cent zinc
producing approximately (all smelteI
returns not in) 611.4 tons Of concen-
trates averaging 46 per cent zinc, net
to us about $10,429.77.
During the month we were making
changes in our flotation plant recon-
mended by Mr.. r. owens, general mill
superintendent of the Federal Mining
and Smelling company. When the
changes were completed it showed a
considerable increase in our recovery.
We still have the Dorr thickener to
install, which will be done as soon as
| it arrives from the factory. This
month we are installing a new set of
rolls and a crusher. The installation
we have just completed and will be
able to run steadily from now on. II
