MURRAY, March 20.-Robert T.
Horn, manager of the Golden Chest,
last Wednesday, expressed two tons of
seheelite ore to Vivian Green, New
York city This ore was from the new
pocket or bunch found only few days
prior when the pickings had grown
lean. In one day. II is claimed, between
1000 and 1900 pounds were extracted,
the ore taken out being of the highest
grade, AS the price of tungsten jump
ed from $50 a unit to $50 a unit while
the ore was in transit Mr. Green will
no doubt receive the highest market
value for the lot, or almost double the
price the first shipment brought three
months ago, From private sources the
writer learns that when the great steel
works took the English and French
contracts for munitions the foreigners
specified the percentage of tungsten
the steel works We're to put into the
supplies. The steel corporations
'Ai'"9ill hlitlN IppulhSl tOuillSb SOIOI ddot
the great mining center for tungsten in
the United States, could easily supply
all the ore that would be required.
Boulder county, however, could only
produce from 500 to 1000 tons annually
and even this was on a strain. There
fore the first real demand for tungsten
exhausted the supply, and the steel
corporations had to look for new
sources. They could not get all they
required, and the price went skyward
for every pound they could grab Their
contracts had to be filled, and there
could be no delay. With every ton of
ore that was put on the market new
and higher price was set, until 1t be-
came known that the steel works were
in a pinch. This brought out the lat
est rise from $50 to $50. And it is
claimed that the end is not yet. Com
ing as this demand for tungsten has
come, in the Very middle of a severe
winter, which nowhere in the noun
tains has yet been materially modified,
the yield Of the mines is naturally lin
ted and with the exception of the
Murray district, no new camp has been
contributing an appreciable amount of
ore. In Boulder county, Colorado, 1t is
declared, even the schools were closed
to allow the school marms and the old
er children to hike to the hills to
hunt for float"

CARNEY COPPER PLANS
MUCH DEVELOPMENT
ARRANGE TO SHIP ORE FROM THE
UPPER LEVEL-To INSTALL
ELECTRIC POWER.

| A circular letter just issued by ]. L.
Martin, president and manager of the
Carney Copper company contains in
teresting information regarding the
present condition of the property and
plans for its future development and
operation. During the last year and
a half the management states that 420
feet of drifting and crosscutting has
been done in No. 2 tunnel, exposing a
strong vein from 10 to 80 feet wide
and 800 feet long, showing values in
silver, lead and copper. Underground
management announces that a block of
treasury stock has been sold which will
provide funds to push development for
many months and it is further stated
that the company has no debts. Fur
ther discussing the plans and prospects
of the company, the letter says nego-
tiations are now under way for the in
stallation Of compressor driven by
electric power. While the necessary
buildings are being erected for this
new machinery and it is being placed
in position, work will be continued by
hand in No tunnel. 1t is estimated
that 800 feet will have to be driven to
reach the vein, when drifting will ex-
tend to a point under the ore in the
upper level. OF this work the letter
saws.

.|vANHOE GIVES OPTION
CONTROL OF COMPANY
DEAL INSURES RAPID DEVELOP
MENT OF PROMISING
PROPERTY.

The Ivanhoe Mining company re-
Gently closed a deal by which 100000
shares or control of the company is
taken over under option by group of
capitalists which insures the immedi-
ate development of the property The
terms of the deal are not made pub
/ lic but it is learned that it provides
for the cash payment for 100000 shares
and for the payment for the balance
in installments of 100000 shares every
80 days until the entire block is taken
up. The first payment has been made
and the price per share is increased
with each succeeding payment. The
money received is to be utilized at
once in developing the property and
work is now under way.
The Ivanhoe insists of two or three
claims lying northeast of the Morning
and joining the Star, and the prop
erty is being explored through a cross
cut driven from the Star tunnel The
Ivanhoe has a parallel vein which
shows up strongly on the surface. In
tunnel No. driven on the vein there
is reported ore for 100 feet from which
assays have given Is per cent lead and
Is ounces silver.
Crosscut From the Star.
During recent years the work on the
property has been concentrated in
driving a crosscut from the Star tun-
mel to the Ivanhoe vein, which has
been encountered at distance of
about 1900 feet and which gives about
an equal depth. From the point of in
tersection the vein has been drifted
upon for probably 200 feet and aver
ages about feet wide with from 2
to feet of low grade ore With the
cash realized from the sale of treasury
stock the development will be car
ried on energetically and it is ex-
pected that arrangements will be ef-
fected to use the Star compressor.
The officers and directors of the
Ivanhoe are James A. Bean, of Null
Ian, president; c. D. Brock, Of Wal
lace, vice president; these with Samuel
Bean and John H. Foss, of Mulan, and
John H. Nordquist, of Wallace, con-
stitute the board of directors. C. D.
Miller, of Mullan, is secretary.

The Old AtoIia Mine.

From the San Francisco Examiner
the writer extracts the following in re-
gard to the great and productive Atolia
tungsten mine in California, with
which Fred Bradley has lately become
connected, this mine being the oldest
scheelite producer in the United States.
The scenes there are equally as excit-
ing as those in Boulder county:
Those who thought that the ad-
vance of California quicksilver from
$40 flash to $500 was like Aladdin's
dream will now please attend to the
story of California tungsten, which, as
one mining man remarked, is worth
more than diamonds
''The principal tungsten deposits in
California are in Kern county and the
leading mine is the Atoia, which was
mined for some years with small sue
cess by Atkins, Kroll e. Co. The pro-
duct didn't pay enough to make much
of a fortune, and the owners were
willing to sell when a group of far
seeing capitalists got hold of it when
the war came along.
About year ago former State Sem
ator E. c. VOORHEES,, e. A. Stent, Mark
Requa, Fred Bradley and j. H. Nc
kenzie took look ahead and bought
the big tungsten deposits of the Atolia
company from Atkins, Kroll & Co,
who still remain agents for the mine.
Tungsten was then worth Sc per unit
Of 60 per cent ore, or something like
1920 per ton. In the latter part of 1914
it had risen to 50 per unit, and things
looked brighter
But now the price is $40 per unit,
which means $4,000 per ton of 70 per
cent ore, and the Atolia people are
working in 80 per cent ore, which
means $4,000 per ton. They average
$500 per ton.
Under this stimulus the old dumps
the thrown-away ore-are being re-
worked, and the dumps will yield over
$1,5OO,OOO. Miners are washing the
country around the Atolia with rock
ers, for the tungsten at SO a pound, a
few pounds will make good wages. The
constables and marshals have had to
be called in to keep these hand wash
ing miners off the companys property,
so lively is the demand
"The value of this product may be
estimated by comparison with gold. On
the Mother Lode the deep gold mines
only yield an average of $3.50 per ton,
while the tungsten workings are on the
surface, and mining men predict that
the Atolia will this year produce more
than $3,0OO,O 900, or more than any gold
mine in the state And California has

Ore of Good Grade

when No. tunnel is completed
the Carney is likely to be one of the
sensations of the Occur d'Alenes. The
ore shoot in. No. 1 tunnel is about 200
feet long. The high grade ore is from
inches to 2 feet wide, running from
to so per cent copper and about 21a
ounces silver Milling ore is from 6
to Is feet wide, carrying from 1h to
per cent copper. There is approxim
ately 100000 tons of ore ready for
stopping above No 1 tunnel.
THE company has completed ar
rangements for mining and shipping
the ore from No. 1 tunnel. The high
grade copper which has attracted so
much attention, will be shipped as
fast as it can be stopped and loaded on
the cars. The milling ore, for the
present, will be concentrated by jigs
or sold to a local mill. With copper
from 25 to 2S cents per pound and the
Carney right on the Northern Pacific
railway, the ore certainly will return
handsome profits. Carney stockhold
ers should visit and inspect the prop
erty before parting with their stock
at the prevailing prices"

DIES OF HIS INJURIES
Washburn Victim Of Attack, for Which
Peter Laroek is Held

Bethel, April 27.--Elmer Washburn,
who was found unconscious yesterday
morning beside the railroad track,
died at the Randolph sanitarium dur
ing the night, never regaining con-
sciousness.
The wound in Washburn's head was
probed by DR.. Angell who found a
compound fracture of the skull fully
five inches in length.
Peter Larock, held in $4,000 bail,
was taken to the county Jail at Wood
stock today Larock is known here as
a sober, industrious man, but is said
to have been at odds with Washburn
because of trouble between Mr.. and
Mrs. Washburn, the latter being a sis.
ter of the alleged murderer.
J. II. Adams of Randolph. guardian
for Washburn, who was deemed in
competent to manage his own affairs,
has ordered the body of his ward held
until Attorney-General Barber can take
charge of it, the latter having been
notified in the absence of the States
attorney Of Windsor county, who is in
Boston.

"cLEAN.UP" CAMPAIGN
County Association Offers Prizes for
Photographs.

Cleanliness is worth while. Ii pays
in health, comfort, beauty and money.
The case of the farmer who spent $50
for paint for his buildings and then
sold his farm for 5000 more than he
had previously asked, is an example Of
how it pays to clean up. Unfortunate
ly, that farmer in question only paint
ed three sides of his buildings.
Cincinnati reaped huge profits from
the Clean Up Campaign" "One of
the discoveries made in the campaign
of 1914 was that 80 or 80 per cent of
all fires in cities are caused by ac-
cumulated rubbish in closets, attics,
Easements, sheds, behind billboards
and in like places. As result of the
campaign OF 1914 there was a reduc-
tion in fire loss in Cincinnati the year
following of $600,0O0 the loss in the
year before being S1,341,34S and in
the year following $793,796. This was
almost cutting the first loss in two.
Because of the reduction of loss there
came a reduction OF insurance rates
in the business section of from to 8
per cent, and an annual saving of
about $l60,00O in fire insurance prem
iums. AS the "Clean Up and Paint
Up campaign for that year cost the
city only about $4,000, there was a
net nrofit in that one item of fire in
surance premiums Of $l5000O. The
saving and profit in 1915 was yet
greater"
Neatness, cleanliness, orderliness
pays.
Every amateur photographer should
be interested in the prizes offered by
the County Improvement Association
for the best photographs showing To-
cation before and after cleaning ND.

Irish Nationalist Puts Blame on
German lntrigue
HOME RULE CAUSE SET BACK
Irish in America Who Inspired Plot
False to Both Adopted and Native
Land.

London, April 29.-John Redmond
the leader OF the Irish nationalists in
the House of Commons, last night gave
the Associated Press the following
statement concerning the uprising i'll
Dublin.
MY first feeling, of course, on aaar-
ing of tao insane movement, was orc
Of horror, discouragement, ana almost
despair. ] asked my self whether
Ireland, as so often before in her
tragic history was to dash the cup of
liberty from her lips--was the insanity
OF a small section OF her people once
again to turn all her ma"yeioH5 Vie

tion as "a free nation, into another long

ing
But anyhow it was the opinion Of
ireland and surely ! need not argue
the princ.Mc especially witn nynCdy
who has protested himself h:Tle
ruler, that the policy of Ireland must
be decided by Ireland herself. That
is the principle which has been adopt.
ed by the Irish race everywhere.
Millions OF our people in the Unit
| ed States and elsewhere. whose gener-
Gus devotion helped us so largely to
win our victories for the motherland
of our race have always accepted it,
However bounteous their help, never
have they denied lrelands right to
choose her policy for herself That
doctrine has been contested only by
the very same men who today have
tried to make Ireland cats paw of
| Germany.
In all our long and successful
| struggle to obtain home rule, We have
been thwarted and opposed by that
| same section. We have won home rule
not through them but in spite of them
This wicked move OF theirs was their
last blow at home rule. 1t was not hall
as much treason to the cause Of the
allies as treason to the cause of home
| rule.
"This attempted deadly blow at
home rule carried on through this sec
tion is made more wicked more nso
lent, by this fact--that Germany plot
ted it. Germany organized it, Ger
many paid for it,
And the final aggregation of this
movement is this: The misguided in
| sane young men who have taken part
in this movement IN Ireland have
risked. and some of them lost, theii
lives. But what am | to say OF those
men who have sent them into this in
sane and anti-patriotic movement
while they have remained In the safe
remoteness OF American cities
AS to the final result: do not
believe this wicked and insane move
ment will achieve its ends, The Ger
man plot has failed. majority Of
the people of ireland retain theil
calmness. fortitude and unity. They
abhor this attack on their interests
their rights and their principles. Home
rule has not been destroyed. 1t re
mains indestructible.
