The Fund for Home.
An interesting little story Of how
the Father Houck fund came to be
started is taken from the Muscatine
News-Tribune:
The Father Houck Fund" be it
known, is some day to erect home
for superannuated and decrepit Uni
ted Commercial Travellers. 1t has
been sixteen years since the first cor
tribution was made. The initial con-
tribution was exactly 9 cents. Today
the fund was reported By F. w. HoucS
OF Sheldon. founder Of the fund, to
contain s2,315.91, the report being Pre-.
scented at this mornings session of
the convention held in tie armory.
History OF Fund.
The inception Of the fund was pri-
marily joke but it has passed that
stage long ago. At every meeting Of
the grand council each member is ask
ed to contribute just one cent. 1t has
been through the penny subscriptions
that the fund has grown over $500.

SUB-TREASURY MINE

Tine Sub-Treasury mine in the Lake
district, operated by o L. Patterson,
has completed the raise from the
SO0-foot level to the 700, also from
the 700 to the 600-foot level, and
now these three levels have an
abundance of pure air and doing
away with the services of the fam.
The slopes recently opened up on
the 700 and SO0-foot levels are show
ing up in fine shape and producing
o high grade of ore. MIR. Patterson
has now begun the task of cleaning
out and retimbering the shaft below
the S00-foot level that is now sunk to
a depth of So feet. This will be a
difficult job, as the shaft that is sunk
through country rock, is SO near the
ore vein that the rock cleaves from
the vein matter necessitating contin-
uous timbering. When this is COM
plete, levels will be run both east,
and west ON the vein and open up
the large and rich bodies of ore al
ready exposed ON the TOO and 800
foot levels.
On the tunnel level, Cody and COM
pany have a Large shipment ready
tor treatment, and the company is
also preparing to open up the 500
foot level through the Homestake
shaft. When the repairs to the shaft
are complete below the S00-foot level,
everything will be complete and the
mine become one OF the largest ship
pers Of the county.

AMONG THE MINES
BRAcK HOLLOW ORE
IMPROVING IN VALUE

Settlement sheets of the Brack Hol-
low mine, UP Clear Creek from Black
Hawk, show an increase in value
over prior shipments and the PROPOSE
tion becomes better every month. A
recent settlement was made with the
American Metals Pro. Co., ON 3S .053
pounds Of zinc concentrates that
brought $199.44. The zinc content
was $3.50 and had it not been for the
wisdom of Manager Frost in making
the zinc separation from the other
metals, the ore would have stood a
penalty. AS it was, the money re-
ceived was just so much velvet"
The other concentrates saved after
the zinc extraction, amounting to 49,
465 pounds shipped to the sme1ter,
netted 1.29 ozs. gold, 1852 ozs. silver
and 34.609o dry lead. The net value
OF these concentrates was $52.31 per
ton or $1293.76 for the lot. The total
value OF the shipment, Including the
zinc, was $1493.20. This is an excep-
tionally good record for a mine that
is carrying on development work in
addition to production. Frost, Tor
rey & Co., who are operating the
Brack Hollow, can well feel proud
of the results they are achieving.
