SENATOR BRADY SAYS EXPERIMENTAL
STATION SHOULD Be IN COEUR D'ALENES
HE is URGING CLAIMS WANTS ADDITIONAL DATA
FROM THIS DlsTRlcT-LETTER
RECTOR BUREAU MINES

D The Miner has given much atten-
/ tion to the mining experimental sta
tion which is soon to be established
by the government in the northwest,
and has advocated the claims of Ida
ho for the institution on the ground
that 1t now ranks high among the
mining states of the west and pre-
sents an unlimited field for the work
Of the experimental station. 1t has al
so urged the selection of Wallace as
the most desirable location for the
station, because 1t Is the center of the
greatest mining district in Idaho and
one of the most important in the west.
Combined with this advantage, Wal
erence to the mining sections of the
other states to be served by the ex-
perimental station and in all respects
meets the requirements that will prob
ably be regarded as essential by the
secretary of the interior when he
takes up the matter of location for
final determination. The fact that no
other place in Idaho is seeking the
station indicates that the desirability
of locating it here is generally recog-
nized. The Idaho Mining association
is using its best efforts to bring the
station to the state and commercial
clubs of south Idaho are on record In
support of 1t. The Idaho delegation
in congress is urging the claims of
Idaho, and Senator Brady especially
is making the strongest possible
showing in behalf of this state. He
expresses the opinion that the Coeur
d'Alene district is the logical place for
the experimental station and will be
glad to receive additional data In sup
port of his contention. letter from
the senator this week shows the deep
interest he is taking in the subject and
is here reproduced:

Strike in Golden Chest.

During a brief conversation with Mr..
Aulbach he stated that new shoot
Of tungsten ore had within the last
few days been struck in the Golden
Chest, which is believed to be the
most extensive that has been made.
Vivian Green, Of New York, owner of
the Golden Chest is giving his per-
sonal attention to the property The
mill has been overhauled and is prob
ably running now. Various changes
were made to adapt the mill to re-
cover both the tungsten and gold val
ues in the ore and 1t is believed that
successful results will be obtained
DR.. r. r. Goodrich, of the Idaho school
of mines devoted considerable time to
the milling problems and it is under
stood that the changes and additions
were made in accordance with his
suggestions. The mill is to be run for
the present by steam power. The
company has an excellent water pow
er which will doubtless be used later
when the flume is repaired or re-
built.

Senator Brady's Letter.

Washington, d. c., May 16, 1915.
To the Editor of The Miner:
| am enclosing herewith for your in
formation a letter from Hon. Van. II.
Manning, director of the bureau of
Mines relative to the establishment of
three mine experiment stations to be
provided for in the bureau of mines
appropriation bill at this session of
congress. While it Is not absolutely
certain that the appropriation will be
made, yet anticipate it will, for very
little opposition has developed.
| have noticed the editorials In The
Miner with reference to these stations
and have had the matter of Idaho's
claims up with the director of the
bureau Of mines. I have also made
inquiry of him relative to the status
Of the new experiment stations with
the state school of mines.
1t would seem to me that since one
Of these stations will probably be To-
Gated in the northwest, that the Coeur
d'Alenes would be the logical place fo'
it. The Occur d'Alenes are accessible
to the Montana section, to the Wash
ington section and to the Oregon sec
tion, and the fact that the whole
Occur d'Alene district is in a very
compact form with mining problems
of every description, and since, too, a
smelter is to be erected, 1t would ap-
pear that the department could do no
better than to give the district very
favorable consideration.
| have asked Hon. ]. F. Mccarthy,
president Of the Idaho Mining asso-
citation, to forward me any data that
he may have available relative to Ida
hos claims and have also had the
matter up with Hon. Ravenel Mac
beth, secretary of the association. I
shall be glad to hear from you also
relative to this matter for 1 am very
anxious to assemble all the arguments
that can, for / want to be of every
service.

Would Lease the Marsh.

In the presence of this difficulty it
Is stated that the Heela company has
applied to the Marsh Mining company
for the use of it's mill on Nine Mile. 1t
is not expected that definite answer
can be obtained from the Marsh until
the annual meeting Is held next
month when a new board of directors
will be elected and the plans of the
company are formulated. The Marsh
mill has capacity of 200 tons per day,
modern in every respect and in good
running order. This would meet the
requirements of the Hecla to perfec-
tion, and 1t is regarded quite probable
that it may be secured on a month to
month basis. This mill would give the
Hecla a milling capacity of about 900
tons per day, and the condition of the
mine is reported to be such that it
would be crowded to the limit.

UNION STRIKE GROWS
0REANO MAY HAVE ORE
FULL FACE OF SHIPPING ORE IN
WEST DRIFT-CONTINU
EXPLORING VEIN.

The recent strike ON the Union still
holds the center of the stage. Drift
ing has been started both east and
west and the showing is now better
than at the point where the strike
was made. Yesterday the west drift
had been extended about 80 feet and
shows a full face of shipping ore with
several inches of zinc along the foot
WALL according to a statement from
Harry Allen, one of the owners of tho
lease and bond on the property. To
the east the drift is about Is feet and
the face is all in ore with eight or ten
inches of shipping, also with the same
streak of zinc on the foot wall
The plans of the company for che
immediate future are changed from
those announced last week. Instead of
going down to the Hidden Treasure
tunnel and crosscutting to the vein,
it Is the purpose now to continue ex-
ploring the vein in the upper level in
order to prove the extent of the ore
shoot before starting deeper develop

NORTH SIDE PIONEER
MAKES A BRIEF VISIT
NEW TUNGSTEN ORE SHOOT IN
GOLDEN HEST-JACk
WAITE STRIKE.

Adam Aulbach was in the city a
few hours last Monday, having come
over from Murray in an automobile
and returned in the afternoon Bust
ness in connection with an extensive
mining deal In which he is interested
called him here, and with that COM
pleted he returned Immediately. For
be 1t known that while we are dispos-
easy going place at this time, Mr.. Aul-
bach is a striking example of a MUIR
ray citizen who is always busy. He
is particularly so just now and while
he declined to go into details as to the
nature of his business, he made it
clear that it was a big enterprise in
which big men are concerned and one
that would exert far-reaching in
fluence upon the mining industry of
this district. And right here it is
proper to state that in all it's ups and
downs, the faith of Adam Aulbach in
the future of the North Side has
never been shaken. He knows the
section as no other man, for he has
studied its mineral characteristics in
order to know. And his information
is used for the benefit of the North
Side, and he has consistently and per-
sistently with voice and pen pointed
out the opportunities offered for the
intelligent investment of capital in
mining enterprises in that section A
better day is now dawning for the
North Side, and when the hum of in
dustry is heard in it's canyons and
large payrolls spread prosperity to
hundreds of homes Adam Aulbach
should receive full credit for his work
in bringing 1t about.

oreano May Have Vein.

The owners of the Oreano, through
which the strike on the Union was
made, are about as much elated over
the strike as the Union leasers. They
figure that the vein in its westward
course Is bound to enter Oreano
ground which will give them a large
section of the ore shoot after making
due allowance for the extralateral
rights of the Union. The Oreano COM
pany is now considering plans to ex-
tend crosscut which runs in a
westerly direction on the same level
as that in which the strike was made.
This they figure will interseot the vein
within a comparatively short distance
well within the Oreano ground.

MORE MILL CAPACITY
NEEDED BY THE HECLA
REPORT THAT COMPANY WOULD
LEASE OTHER MILLS-THE
MONTHLY DIVIDEND.

The Hecla Mining company paid its
regular monthly dividend of 10 cents
per share on May 20, amounting to
100000. The company has now paid
$500,000 this year and the total dis
bursement to date is $4,255,000. The
earnings of the company are consid-
erably in excess of the dividend, ac-
cording to the figures contained in the
recent operating statement issued by
the manager, which justifies the con-
clusion that the accumulated surplus
will before long be distributed in the
form of an extra dividend.
More Milling Capacity.
An interesting report is in circula-
tion to the effect that the Hecla man
agement is planning to increase the
milling capacity of the company in or
der to take the fullest advantage of
the high price of lead. Although not
confirmed by officers of the company,
the report is generally accepted as
correct. 1t is to the effect that the
Hecla company is negotiating with the
Federal company for the use of the
Stewart mill, which until recently was
under lease to the Stewart Mining
but which is now idle. 1t
appears that the use of the mill can
be secured but in order to operate it
new electric motors are necessary and
it is practically impossible to secure
them. The motors formerly used be-
longed to the Stewart and were re-
moved upon the expiration of the
lease

on the football team in his freshman
year, and for the three succeeding
years he directed every play Of the
team from quarterback. proving one
OF the best field generals the Baptists
have ever had. Billings further
showed his versatility by coaching the
basketball team the past spring. In
spite OF a marked scarcity of material
he whipped a team into shape that
finished the season well above the
500 mark. Coach Billings arrived on
the hill late Friday afternoon and will
be on hand to greet the candidates
when they report Tuesday afternoon.

The Virginians brought their fnal
road drive OF the season to a close
yesterday afternoon with the double
victory over Jack Dunn's Baltimore
Orioles. These defeats at the hands
of Billy Smiths proteges should leave
a bitter taste in the mouths of the
Monumental City baseball enthusiasts
owing to the keen rivalry that exists
between the two cities. Jack Dunn's
underlings were just successful in

BY ERNEST POLLARD.

With the International season rap
idly drawing to a close, the mana
geria1 situation for next season is now
practically the sole topic of discus
sion in local baseball circles. just
who will be grasping the reins when
ly matter of conjecture, members
hands the power of selecting leader
rests. having remained quiet on the
subject up to this time.
In our opinion, Billy Smith will
again be the selection of the direc-
tors. While il is known fact that
the team will not be in first division
when the curtain is drawn on the
1916 season, had not the old 1inx
persistently lurked in Billy Smiths
midst, the Virginians would be up
there scrapping for the much coveted
gonfalon in Mr.. Edward Barrow's
baseball organization. Can any blame
be attributed to him for the injury
sustained early in the season by Lefty
Humphreys. Eibers long illness. in
juries to Captain McDermott, Bill
Reynolds, Steiny Steinbrenner. the
sickness of Rebel Ross. Bobby Glenn
ems and several other players and the
recall of Angelo Arragon by the New
York Yankees? Those bits of mis-
fortune are something which no man
ager could help. Had John McGraw,
Connie Mack, Hughie Jennings or any
other manager in the big show been
plotting the team they would have
met with the same misfortune.
Speaking of injuries, sickness and gen.
efal hard luck. it may be said here
that Wild Bilr' Donovan and his
New York Yankees would be up in the
thick of the fight in the American
League race had not the old hoodoo
lowered over the Gothamites' camp
throughout the season. Injuries and
sickness are things which no manager
can foresee and no blame can be at
tached TO them for such happenings.
Members OF the board of directors
realize all OF these facts, and they
will be weighed carefully before the
selection of manager is made
The board will hold meeting
either next Tuesday afternoon or
Wednesday morning. at which time
the mem bers of this body will def
nttely decide upon r. manager. An
nouncement OF the selection will be
made Wednesday afternoon in Broad
Street Park.
