expenditure of money to develop their

far as known they have only the same
veins to develop that we have in the
Rex mine, both properties covering
the same Recruitment vein system.
TN our undertaking to rehabilitate
and further develop the Rex mine and
its surroundings, we have had the
loyal support and untiring effort Of a
most efficient mine crew. Those de-

lieve, however, that with further de-
velopment upon the several ore show
ings they will prove more or less con-
tinuous and supply considerable ton
mage for our mill. We have not had
time enough to connect up the various
ore shoWings. Our time for actual
mine work-after unwatering the mine
has been limited and underground
development has been interfered with
to some extent by our endeavor to
prospect the recently discovered north
vein with diamond drill, to determine
it's course, strike and dip.
History Of Former Production.
1.-THE Rex mine is credited with ore
production of something over $750,00O
gross value. This production, made
at time when the zinc content in the
ore was a detriment and penalized by
the shelters. Today the zinc content
in the ore is of equal, or even greater
value than the lead content. The
metal condition existing at the time
this mine was making it's production
compelled the former operators to
avoid mining ore showing any appre-
cable amount of zinc. This is part
ly the reason why the ore showings
are not connected so that tonnage
might safely be computed.
Il will state here that any mine in
the Occur d'Alene district which has
a record of ore production upwards of
$4,000 never quit producing at that
figure and most all of them are still
producing and increasing records of
production varying from a few mil
lions of dollars to many millions of
dollars. To substantiate this state
ment, reference may be made to Ore
Production and Dividends of Occur
dAlene Mines
Mill Equipment.
''The lead-zinc mill belonging to
the Rex property is well equipped with
ing lead-zi ores including such i'm
provements as oil flotation and
shines altering plants, the very latest
devices in lead zinc milling practice.
The mill Is now in use, treating 800
tons of ore daily for the Consolidated
Custer Mining company
they paying our company a monthly
rental of $500. / am informed by the
Of that company that the
mill is treating their ores very sue
cessfully, making a good separation
of the metals and high percentage
of recovery. This brief statement
should suffice that the mill is fully
equipped with latest improvements in

would recommend not to cancel this
until we have more time
to further develop the ore showings in
the Rex mine and make sure of sufi-
cient tonnage to assure us long per-

Ralph Baker reached the Virginia
city:
Ralph Baker, the Newberry col
lege star, who was signed by the
Richmond club early this year, is due
to put in his appearance today, and
there is strong probability of Man
ager Smith giving the youngster a
trial at second bag. He is considered
the best athlete ever turned out by
anv South Carolina institution, and
it is a known fact that number of
clubs were trying to land the young
collegian. The Virginians secured
the boy through the influence of Ben
w. Wilson. secretary of the club, VINO
is personally acquainted with the
father of the boy. He has been burn
ing things up down in South Caro-

speculation. but Manager Smith IS

TWO HUNDRED BUSHELS
WHEAT BURNED IN FIELD

Mr.. Hayne H. Abrams of the city
suffered a heavy loss last Friday af-
ternoon when his entire wheat crop
of something like 250 bushels of un-
thrashed wheat was destroyed by fire
on his farm near Helena. Mr. Abrams
had hauled all of his wheat together
as we'll as large quantity of oats
and while Mr.. Mack OXner was about
completing the thrashiAg of the oats
a spark from the engine fell into the
edge of the pile of wheat. AS soon as
it kindled into blaze it was discov-
cred by Mr.. Abrams who ran to it and
made desperate effort to separate
the burning straw from the main pile,
but a shift of the wind in the direc-
ton of the wheat pile famed the
flames and made it impossible to stop
the nre.
AS soon as it was seen that the
wheat could not he saved Mr.. Oxner
attempted to save his thrasher by
hitching On his traction engine. He
succeeded in pulling it out of the way
of the big fire but not before the
straw in the thrasher had caught ami
done considerable damage to the ma
chine.
Mr.. Abrams oats being already
threshed were saved.
Se?eral colored men who were
hauling their own wheat to the place
for t1lrashing, suffered a loss aggre-
eating some 40 or so bushels.

AUTOMOBILE AND TELEPHONE
SERVE A GOOD PURPOSE

AN automobile and telephone
showed up good Saturday night in
helping the officers of the law. IN
one hour after Sheriff Blease receiv-
ed a telephone call for aid ne had ar
rested and lodged in Jail a negro on
charge Of burglary committed seven
miles in the country.
Saturday night Stout Douglas, 4
negro about thirty years old entered
the home of Mr.. Holland Ruff in the
st. Phillips section, having made an
entrance by breaking the window
screen with rock. Mr.. Ruff and the
members of his family were away at
the time, having gone to an ice cream
festival in the community. When they
returned about midnight they found
Douglas in one of the beds in the
home sound asleep, having removed
his shoes and some of his clothing.
Mr.. Ruff went to telephone and call
ed Sheriff Blease. The Sheriff and
his deputies, Messrs. Taylor and Dor
rob, responded soon and Douglas was
placed under arrest. The negro
claims that he was so drunk that he
did not know what he was doing. 1t
is thought, however, that the facts
that he had removed his shoes on the
outside Of the house, that he knew the
dwellers in the home were away and
that he broke the window screen,
point to the fact that he intended
committing some crime, and. that af-
terward being overcome by the liquor
be had drank that he could not pur-
sue his intentions and went to sleep.
Douglas Will be charged with burg
larry in the court of general sessions
now in session.
