Wallace Should Have Direct Rail Con-
neCtiOn to Beaver Creek Via Nine Mile

A man who is heavily interested in
mining on Beaver creek and who is
thoroughly posted on the present and
future possibilities of mining on that
side of the divide, called attention this
week to the Importance to Wallace of
securing direct rail connection be-
tween this city and that section. He
has made a close inspection of a pos
sible route and so favorably is he i'm
pressed with the result of his investi-
cations that he urges the people of
Wallace to take the matter up and
present it to the Northern Pacific as
a feasible proposition and one that
will add a profitable feeder to its lines.
By driving tunnel not to exceed
half a mile at the head of the west
fork of Nine Mile, he says that a per-
fectly practical grade could be obtain
ed on both sides, and that the actual
distance from the present railroad on
the West fork to the site of the new
Ray Jefferson mill is not to exceed
five miles.
The Importance of this proposed
branch to this city can not be over

THE CASTLE ROCK.
Underground Work May Begin With
in a Week or 10 Days.

The wagon road is now open to the
Castle Rock. on Placer creek, and four
men are employed getting the prop
erty in shape for a resumption All
buildings were destroyed by a snow
slide about the last of December and
at the same time numerous slides ef-
fectually closed the wagon road to
traffic. With the assistance of the
county the company has now succeed
ed in cutting roadway through the
slides The compressor building is
being reconstructed and the flume
which was damaged by the slide, has
been cleared of snow and will be re-
paired as soon as lumber for the pur-
pose can be delivered. 1t will prob
ably be a week or ten days before the
compressor building and flume are
when the pump will be
started and the shaft unwatered.
Work on the Castle Rock is in charge
of Sam Linn, and he has taken hold

Cost of Paving Compared BithuIithic
Adds Only 60 cents per Year per Lot

In order to make a showing of eX-
cessive cost Of paving under the bid
of the Warren Construction company,
which has been accepted by the coun-
ell, the opponents of paving cite the
bid of the Independent Asphalt COM
pany as the one that should have
been accepted. AS a matter of fact,
and attention has been called to it
the bid of the last named
was eliminated by unanim-
Gus agreement of the mayor and coun-
ell for the reason that it was so low
that no one believed that the work
could be done according to specifica-
tions at the figure named The only
real competitor with the Warren
company, and the only
one that received thorough invest-
cation because it was a competitor,
was the Oregon Engineering & Con-
struction company. It's bid was lower
than that of the Warren Construction
company, but upon close examination
Of miles of it's paving in Oregon, the
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-04-20

estimated. Before the end of this year
the Ray Jefferson will have it's mill in
operation and the company will be
employing a large number of men. In
time, and not a very long time, either,
the Interstate Callahan will have it's
outlet on Beaver creek. The Sunset
will also find an outlet on that side,
and there are several other big prop
critics that will be eventually sending
their product out by way of Beaver
creek, for Beaver creek is going to
have a railroad before many months
elapse. If Wallace is to maintain its
position as the business center of the
district it must have direct connec-
tion with that rich and future popul-
GUS section, and If the Northern Pa
cific is to handle it's share of the ore
and other traffic, it must find a way to
reach 1t also. Here is a case in which
the people Of Wallace and the railroad
have a common interest, and
the business men Of the city, through
the board of trade, should urge the en-
terprise upon the railroad company,
and offer every assistance possible to
carry it through.

THE OLD VETERAN.
Feeling of Expectancy Prevails Among
All the Stockholders.

The Old Veteran crosscut is expect
ed to cut the lead most any day now.
1t has now reached the point where
the vein should be encountered, ac-
cordng to the engineers estimate.
The change in the formation clearly
indicates the approach of the vein
and is regarded very favorable to an
ore shoot The length of the crosscut
is now SO feet and it will cut the
vein 400 feet below No. tunnel. Much
interest is being manifested in the
progress of the work. The stock is
largely held in this district. The COM
pany was organized on strictly as
sessment basis, the stock being issued
free upon the payment of an assess
ment Of mills and an understanding
that a 2-mill assessment would be
levied every 60 days. The stock was
largely over subscribed, and of late
there has been quite an active demand
for it, as high as cents being offered.
The assessments to date aggregate Ia
mills.

FRANK JENKINS HERE.
Old Time Resident Again Visits the
Coeur d'Alenes.

Francis Jenkins of Moscow, grand
master of the Masonic order in Idaho,
has been in the city several days this
week visiting local lodges and inciden-
tally renewing acquaintance with old
time friends In the early days Mr..
Jenkins was prominent in mining op-
erations, being at one time superin-
tendent of the Bunker Hill & sullivan
mine He still holds considerable min
ing property in the district, the best
known of which is probably the Jim
Dobson, on Dobson gulch, in which
he holds an interest. During his resi-
dence in the district, his home being
at Wardner, Mr.. Jenkins was a promi-
nent figure in local and state politics.
He served several years as chairman
of the republican county central COM
mittee and was later prominently con-
sidered as candidate for governor.
Since leaving the Coeur dAlenes Mr.
Jenkins has made his home in Moscow,
where he holds the position of bursar
in the state university. Tom Jenkins,
superintendent of the zTamarack &
Custer mine, is his son.

councilmen who examined it were
convinced that it was inferior to the
bitulithic paving such as we have on
the streets of Wallace now, and for
that reason the bid of the Warren
Construction company was accepted.
In order to get at the actual differ
ence the people of Wallace must pay
under the accepted bid, these are the
two bids to be compared, and not the
bids of the Warren and Independent
companies. 1t is found by actual
that the cost of bitulithic
paving, such as we have now and
which we know we will get from the
Warren company, is just Sc per lot of
25 feet more than would have been
paid to the Oregon company. Prop
erty owners are allowed ten years in
which to pay for the paving, hence
the excess cost is just 60 cents per
year for ten years. Don't you think
it is worth the extra price? Don't
you think it is worth 60 cents year
to know what you are going to get?

ORE SHOOT ON CARLISLE
SHOWS BIG FOR 400 #.
RAY JEFFERSON HAS TWO VEINS
OF GREAT KNOWN VALUE
NEW MILL PROGRESS.

The Carlisle vein of the Ray-Jeffer-
son is making a remarkable showing
of. ore Since cutting the vein few
months ago drifting has extended
about 400 feet and the result could
hardly be more satisfactory. The
full width Of the tunnel is in ore of ex-
celent milling grade, both lead and
zinc, and it is probably safe to say
that the shoot win average s feet
wide. 1t is expected that the vein will
intersect the main Ray Jefferson
vein at a point further to the north
east toward which the drift is now
running. This showing in connection
with that of the original workings
the RayJefferson indicates that the
property will prove to be one of the
big mines of the district.
Progress on New Mill.
A large amount Of lumber has been
delivered at the site of the new mill
at the junction of Beaver and Carbon
creeks. The mill is being built under
the personal direction of Frank Franz,
master mechanic of the Hercules and
from plans prepared by him. The
foundation is now being laid,
and just as many men as can be used
to advantage are employed. None of
the machinery has been delivered, but
it will arrive as soon as the building
Is ready to receive it. The question
Of transportation is still an unsolved |
problem so far as the public Is con-
but the matter does not ap-
pear to be giving the management of |

CHILE COPPER.
Report Indicates That Company Will
Produce 100000 Per Month.

Report Indicates That Company Will
Produce 100000 Per Month.
During the past nine months the
Chile Copper company has produced
approximately SO,O00,OOO pounds Of
copper. Production has been steadily
worked up until today the company is
producing at the rate of 100000
pounds monthly, with further increase
in output anticipated at an early date.
1t is stated that present production is
about 65 per cent of capacity and that
the company will shortly be producing
at the rate of more than 100,000,0O
pounds Of copper annually.
On the basis of 100000 pounds of
copper monthly, it is figured that the
Chile Copper is earning more than
$14,000,000 annually after the -deduc-
tion of bond charges, which would
represent nearly "a share on the
outstanding capitalization. The pro-
duction is to be still further increased
and with the plant of the company
operating at capacity 1t is not unlike
ly that Chile Copper will be in the
dividend class either this year or early
next year.

PLATINUM.
Found in Alaska Ore and Miners Want
SmeIters to Pay for It.
Mining and Scientific Press.

Mining and Scientific Press.
Platinum is found in some copper
ore near Ketchikan, Alaska, and the
miners consider that they should re-
ceive payment for the platinum con-
tent of the shipments sent to the
smelters AS far as can be found no
smelter in the Pacific coast states pays
for platinum in such ore. During
1914 refiners of platinum sand gold
bullion, and copper matte reported
that 3430 OF. Of new refined platinum
was recovered by them. OF this guam
tity 525 OF. came from domestic crude
placer platinum, and at least $500 OF.
was derived from domestic sources
the remainder from foreign material
treated in the United States. The price
of platinum has risen considerably of
late, and as will be found quoted on
the metal page Of this journal each
week, is from $SS to $92 per ounce

HYPOTHEEK COMPANY
SOON COMPLETE MILL
ELECTRIC HOIST SOON TO BE IN
STALLED-LARGE AMOUNT
OF ORE BLOCKED OUT.

The Hypotheek is one of the busiest
spots in this very busy district, and
the plans Cf the company which con-
template placing the property in a
productive stage VIII soon be accom-
plished. Both on the surface and un-
derground work is being pushed rap
idly and Systematically, and if ma
chinery arrives it is expected that the
Hypotheek will be in position to turn
out concentrates in about two weeks
While the l50-ton mill which is being
built at the mine will still require
some finishing touches, still it will
probably be ready for the reception of
ore and the wheels will begin to turn.
The building is now practically COM
pleted. A large lower bin has been
completed and an upper bin is being
built. Fru vanners and Whitley tables
have been placed in position and the
jigs are almost completed. The add-
tional machinery and equipment are
expected daily. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that two weeks will see the
mill in complete running order
Hoist Yet to Come.
The new electric double drum hoist
is overdue. The new hoist building
has been completed, concrete founda-
tion is in readiness to receive the
heavy hoist and the gallows frame is
in readiness to place in position as
soon as the big modern machine ar
riyes. The shaft is three -compart-
ment, and in further preparation
guides have been placed in the third
only one compartment
having been used for hosting hereto
fore. With the installation of the new
hoist two compartments will be used,
with that in view the skip pockets at
the 900 and 100 have been divided in
to three sections, two for ore and one
for waste. This hoist is one of the
most modern design and will meet the
requirements of the company for a
long period of years.
Much Ore Available.
Drifting on the 100 level continues
and is opening up much ore that will |
be ready for extraction by the time it
Is desired. The faces of both east and /
west drifts are reported in good ga
lena ore. The raise from the 100 to
the 900 has been completed, and the /
last 40 feet was in good ore, both ga
lena and carbonate. Slopes are being I
opened ,on the 900 level, where there
Is a large and continuous shoot Of |
both carbonate and galena ore. This .
shoot has been proven on this level .
'or a distance of over 400 feet and the
face of the drift is still in ore. This
shoot is also opened on the 700 and
800 levels, giving it known depth of
over 400 feet, its length increasing as
lepth is gained.
An addition has recently been made
o the bunk house to accommodate the
increased force The addition in
,ludes bath rooms for employees. The
Iypotheek company now employs 46
men and 10 or IL tents have been
.rected to accommodate the overflow.
