THE BULLION.
Force Will Be Increased as Soon as
Supplies Can Be Taken In.

Force Will Be Increased as Soon as
Supplies Can Be Taken In.
AS soon as trains are running on the
Northern Pacific, which should be
within the next few days, supplies will
be taken to the Bullion to provide for
the accommodation of at least eight
additional men, the present working
force being four. Water shortage for
power, due to the excessive cold wea-
ther, prevented working the maximum
force during the winter, but there is
plenty of water now for another shift.
Supplies are ready to take in as soon
as the railroad company can deliver
them at Borax, from which point they
will be taken to the mine on tobog-
gans. The crosscut which is being
run jointly by the Bullion and Copper
Chief companies is now in between
1400 and 1900 feet, leaving about 1000
feet to go to cut the vein When the
vein is reached each company will
then proceed to drift on it's own ac-
count, the Bullion to the east and the
Copper Chief to the west.
At about 900 feet this tunnel cut a
big strong vein which is supposed to
be the eastern extension of the. Eagle.
1t carries fair values in copper and
iustifies exploration, which will prob
ably be undertaken upon the compile
tion of the crosscut to the Bullion
Copper Queen 'vein.

THE HECTOR COMPANY
DRIFTS EAST AND WEST
TO oRE-PREPARING
TO INSTALL AN ELECTRIC
PLANT.

The Hector Mining company is pre-
pairing to install electric power to take
the place of water which is now used
in running the compressor. This
change is made necessary since the
vein was cut recently and drifts start
ed both east and west, the present
power not being equal to the double
work. The installation of electric pow
er can be quickly accomplished, as
the power line of the Washington Wa
ter Power company passes the prop
erty, and the connection can be quick
ly made when the company is ready
tor management is negotiating with
the power company with the view to
securing a satisfactory rate, the same
that is given to other development
companies requiring about the same
service, and this will no doubt be Sc
cured. At the present time the power
drifting is in progress both east and
west, it is necessary to change alter
nately from one face to the other
With electric power work will go for
ward in both drifts at the same time.
Lead and Zinc.
AT the point of intersection the
Hector vein is 16 feet wide, composed
largely of iron, quartz and quartzite,
through which is distributed low val
ues in lead and zinc. Along the foot
wall is a gOuge about IS inches wide,
which is being followed both east and
west. The lead and zinc values are
decidedly encouraging and work will
be pushed with energy in both direc-
tiOns. The vein was cut at a vertical
depth of 1900 feet and at a point al
most a mile from the portal of the tun-
mel All of this distance was not run
by the Hector company the MayfloWer
tunnel being used which had been ex-
tended possibly 1000 feet. Much con-
fidence is felt that commercial ore
will soon be encountered based upon
the mineral values now in evidence
and the favorable structure of the
vein. The property is located about
three miles east Of this city, within a
stone throw of the Northern Pacific
tracks

EAST CALEDONIA MINES
REPORT OF ENGINEER
FINDS PROPERTY JUSTlFlES DE-
VELOPMENT - DEFINITE
PLANS SUBMITTED.

Under date of February 26 the man.
agement of the East Caledonia Mines
company issued a letter to the stock
holders of the company giving in
much detail the company's affairs and
outlining plans for the future opera
tion of the companys property Ac-
companying the letter is a report on
the property by Rush J. White, min
ing engineer, based upon a thorough
examination, and containing recon-
mendations for further development.
In order to carry out the recommenda-
tions of Mr. White and to pay off an
indebtedness of $1,000, the directors
found it necessary to levy an assess
ment of / cent per share. So far as
the report of Mr.. White deals with
the location of the property, its rela-
tion to well known producers in the
immediate vicinity, the showing ex-
posed by the limited development
work, and the prospect of finding ore
in paying quantities, it is highly
gratifying to the stockholders, and
since it is proposed to resume opera
tions in accordance with his recon-
mendations and under his personal
supervision, the outlook for East Gale
donia is decidedly encouraging.
Mr.. Whites Report.
The property of the East Caledonia
consists of three patented and four
unpatented claims, located within the
limits of the town of Wardner about
mile directly east of the Caledonia,
a mile and half east of the Stewart
and within a mile of the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan and the Last Chance. In
the year 1914 these properties earned
net profits aggregating $2,212,000. In
general terms the development of the
property consists of a shaft Ais feet
has been run at the 100-foot level, and
at the 200 level crosscuts and drifts
have been run to the extent Of $50
feet. Three tunnels near the shaft
have been run aggregating 635 feet.
The East Caledonia is in the Burke
formation and just north of the Os-
has crushed and disturbed the ground
so far opened. In the tunnels and In
the drift at the 100-foot level lead-sil-
yer ore, both galena and carbonate, is
exposed. The 200 was not examined
as 1t was under water. Mr.. White
recommends continuing the drift on
the 200 and drifting and crosscutting
at other places where ore is exposed
later work depending on the results
obtained.
He finds that the use Of both gaso-
line and steam, the first for the com
pressor and the last for the pump, has
proved too expensive and recommends
the substitution Of electric power
which will serve both purposes. Ir
conclusion Mr.. White finds that the
property is located in highly pro.
ductive district and possesses all those
features which characterize the pro
ductive veins in similar formations
and in his judgment the property full!
warrants carrying out the plan of de
velopment outlined in his report

ANT|MONY PRODUCERS
GET THE SHORT END
REFUSE TO SELL AT PRICE Of
FERED BY SMELTERS-coM-
MENT ON ANTIM0NY.

1t is reported that Pine creek pro-
ducers of antimony have refused to
make further shipments at prices now
being offered by the smelters, namely,
$352 per unit or about " cents per
pound They claim that the smelter-
men are making too big a profit and
that they will not ship until some con-
cession is made that will give the pro-
ing high prices. The smelters are re-
ceiving from 40 to As cents per pound
for ordinary grades, and from 80 cents
to 60 cents for the higher grades The
producers think the difference is too
great and the Pine creek operators
have determined to stand out for a
laore equitable division.
The Anthony Market
Some interesting light is thrown on
the antimony situation by the follow
ing comments from the Engineering
and Mining Journal of February 19:
close to the supply, in fact, that it is
hard to keep up deliveries. Prices are
strong, Chinese and other ordinary
brands being held at 44Q44Rc per
pound for spot. Nothing has been
done in futures, expected arrivals for
the next two or three months being all
covered Ccokson's is in very short
supply the small lots available being
held at 57@6Oc per pound, New York.
1.-TWO steamships arrived at New
York this week with several hundred
tons of antimony, but it is not expect
cd that these imports will. come on the
general market to any extent"
In the last issue of the same publi
cation the following comment on the
antimony market is taken:
The arrivals reported last week did
not come on the general market at all
but were absorbed by contract deliver
les as was anticipated, Demand has
been fairly good and stocks are small,
so that prices have again stiffened q
little. Chinese and American brands
are quoted at 44@45c per pound for
early deliveries. Cookson's is scarce
still and is held at 57@6Oc per pound

STEWART TAKES OPTION
ON WEST HUNTER GROUP
DEAL INDICATES STEWART AND
INDEPENDENCE LEAD ARE
CLOSELY RELATED.

The Stewart Mining company mas
taken an option on 100000 shares or
control of stock of the West Hunter
Mining company. In pursuance of ne
gotiations, the West Hunter Mining
company's property was recently eX
amined by j. E. VanGundy, engineer
for the Stewart company, after which
an agreement was reached which was
ratified at a meeting of the directors
of the West Hunter company held in
this city Tuesday afternoon. With the
option in his pocket Mr., VanGundy is
now on ahis way to New York where
it will be presented to the directors of
the Stewart company and will no
doubt receive their approval. The COM
pany has 80 days in which to accept
or reject it. The meeting Of the West
Hunter directors was attended by A.
M. Strobe, president of the company;
Fl. A. Rogers, secretary; Mrs. A. M.
Strole and William p Flood. The
West Hunter group helps fill the gap
between the Morning and Hunter
mines and adjoins the Independence
Lead Mines on the south, and about
mile from Mulan, on Mill creek The
West Hunter company was organized
last summer and is now driving a
crosscut to a vein that is highly prom
Using on the surface.
A Significant Deal.
According to common report, the
Stewart mine will soon be exhausted,
and in taking an option on the West
Hunter the company is evidently fol-
lowing it's announced policy of using
its large surplus, said to be $480,000,
to secure another mine. The West
Hunter is certainly a prospect with a
most promising future, but alone it
can hardly be regarded as such a
proposition as woul1 be sought by the
Stewart company. 1t is significant,
therefore, that the property joining
along the north sioe, the Independ-
ence, or Gettysburg as it is some
times called, is being actively devel-
oped by w. NJ Bacon, formerly gen
eral manager Of the Stewart company.
1t has been published that Mr.. Bacon's
retirement from the management of
the Stewart was due to break with
the directors, but in taking over the
West Hunter the conclusion is forced
that their relations are not so seri-
ously strained as reports would in
dicate. According to authorized state
ments emanating from time to time
from the independence, the work there
is showing most satisfactory results
Recently it was reported that a large
body of ore had been exposed in the
Morning within 200 feet of the Inde-
pendence claim, and that work in the
independence is being directed to To-
cate the same shoot. The You Like
vein of the Morning has also been To-
Gated in three tunnels on the Gettys-
burg claim, showing much ore of mill
ing grade. With this showing on the
independence, the sudden acquisition
of the West Hunter by the Stewart
indicates that the purpose is to sup
plement the holdings of the Inde-
pendence, and that eventually the two
groups will be under one manage
ment,

Retirement of Harry L. Day
From the Federal C0mbanu

| it would give him politically and 9TH
erwise The Hercules contract ex-
| pired almost a year ago and the A. S.
& r. company declined to renew it on
the same favorable terms. 1t was then
that the Days decided to go into the
les ore and the prospect of losing that
of other mines of the district was un-
questiOnably a serious blow to the
smelling company, and it Is understood
that Mr.. Day was retained at the head
of the Federal since the break with the
Hercules in the hope that through him
a reconciliation might be effected 1t
is learned from apparently reliable
sources that the smelter people offered
concessions since the Northport plant
was bought by the Days to the extent
Of buying the Northport plant and en-
tering into a long term contract for
Hercules ore, and also proposed to
buy the Hercules, and with the ac-
ceptance of their of their offers
agreed to retain Harry Day at the
head of their combined interests here.
1t appears that Mr.. Day, who was
most reluctant to resign from his Fed
eral position, urged the acceptance of
one of these offers, but other members
of the Day family refused to go to that
extent to further his ambitions. When
To haf
there was nothing further to be gain
ed by retaining Mr. Day at the head
of the Federal, hence his resignation.
Many a man in the Coeur dAlene
district who has been made to feel the
pressure of Day domination in his
business and political action, expert
ed that Mr.. Day was no longer at the
head of the Federal company. Who
his successor will be is a matter of in
teresting speculation but the import
ant thing is already accomplished.
There is a change and new freedom"
in Shoshone county is a reality.
While nothing in the way of official
information can be obtained, indica-
tions point to W. J. Hall, formerly as
sistant general manager, and now the
treasurer of the company with head
quarters in New York, as successor of
Mr.. Day. He is a man possessing ex-
ceptional qualifications for handling
the affairs of a large company such as
the Federal, and his long residence in
this district attracted to him legions
Of loyal friends who would rejoice to
see him return to the Occur dAlenes
with this merited recognition.

Ordinarily a change in the manage
ment of a private corporation is not
q subject to invite newspaper com
ment beyond merely recording the
fact as matter Of news of current in
terest. But when such a company
chances to be one which holds ex-
tensiVe property interests in the com
munity and is the largest employer of
labor, and these powerful resources
have been used by the retiring mana
ger to advance his personal aims and
ambitions in business and politically
then his retirement becomes a matter
of more than passing concern and a
proper subject for public comment
Even the closest friends of Harry L.,
Day, the retiring manager Of the Fed
eral Mining & Smelling company, can
not take exception to this view, since
his own paper utilized a column and
half in black face type under bold
headlines on the first page to announce
his resignation and to eXtolling his vir-
tues. Having a precedent firmly es-
tablished with characteristic modesty
by Mr.. Day himself, it would appear
that the question of propriety is set
tied beyond dispute.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-03-02

The announcement of the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Day as president and man
ager of the Federal company was not
a surprise to the public; rather the
public has been living in a state of
surprise for many months because he
continued to retain the dual position
1t has been almost four years since he
was placed at the head of the Federal
company, a subsidiary Of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company. 1t
was the popular belief at that time,
and as time passed and events devel-
oped the belief became a conviction,
that he exacted the position as a con-
sideration for turning the contract for
the ore from the Hercules mine to the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany. Prior to that time he had been
the most aggressive opponent of the
of the "Guggenheims" and the manner
in which they were robbing the min
ers of the west" was a regular feature
of his paper. Why this sudden
change? Why did he become closely
affiliated with company whose meth
DDS he had so persistently denounced?
1t was to satisfy his lust for power.
Already controlling large mining op-
erations, he saw the tremendous pres
tige control of the Federal would give
him. The smelter needed his ore and
he needed the Federal for the power

.RECANvASS THE RETURNS
Canvassing Board Peremptorily Or
dered to Do So by the Su-
preme Court

Tallahassee, Sept. 2O.-The su-
preme court late yesterday afternoon
issued peremptory writ to compel
the state canvassing board to recan-
vasssthe returns for governor. Knott's
attorneys estimate that the recount
will give Mr.. Knott a majority of "a
votes.
When the court convened for the
afternoon it held that a prima facia
case had not been made of fraud in
Hamilton county, and after a confer
ence Knott's attorneys moved that
Madison county be stricken from the
petition asking for a recount, stating
that they accept the original returns.
Suspicion of fraud in Madison county
Is admitted, though actual fraud is
not.
Flournoy, the attorney for Cats,
conferred with the canvassing board
and accepted the motion to strike out
Madison county. Attorney Adams,
counsel for Mr.. Knott, then made a
motion for peremptory writ which
was granted.
Flournoy had asked the court not
tc issue the writ until today, when he
wsuld have some figures to submit to
them. After the writ was granted
Mr.. Flournoy stated that the present
case was ended, but that the fight had
just begun.

HINDERs MORE THAN HELPS
Bulgaria is Proving to Germany to
be a Heavy Burden


be Heavy Burden
Milan, Sept. 20.-The Secolo dis
cusses the German conferences as fol-
lows:
Despite the discomfort among the
Old Turks, Enyer Pasha is the undis-
puted dictator, and enjoys the conf
dence of the Turkish army. The OBJ
ject of the. conference is the solution
of the grave Balkan problems. The
situation of the Germanic League is
critical, not desperate"
An offensive on the interior lines is
no longer possible. The defensive
power is declining because of want of
reserves. The check of the Dobrudja
invasion by the Russian and Rumari-
an forces may end in disaster.
Bulgaria desired to continue for the
last nine months the sham offensive
in Macedonia only to prevent Rumani-
an Intervention. She is now threat
ened on a new front. and demands
German help. The Bulgarian army,
which at the beginning of the war
numbered half a million men, is now
only 100000 strong.
The forces of General Sarrall at
Salonica, the Rumanians along the
Danube, and the Russians in the Dob
rudja, are in crushing superiority.
The fifty thousand Germans, supposed
to be in the Dobrudja, will hardly
suffice. The Turks have in Thrace
about 100000 men. King Ferdinand
wants half million Turkish troops
to oppose the Russian and Rumanian
forces in the Dobrudja, so that the
Bulgarians are free to defend Mace
donia. The Turks have hitherto re-
fused to use their army in Thrace, al
leging that it might be needed at any
time for the defense of Constantine
pie.
The Turks would consent If the
Bulgars offered compensation, which
Bulgaria, however, is unwilling to
give. Hence, the conference.
A further complication is presented
by the urgent solicitations of the
Magyars for assistance in Transyl-
vania. Between the three claimants
Germany has her hands full.

SUPT. MARSH IMPROVING
STREET TO THE SPRINGS

Superintendent Marsh of the street
department reported to council last
night that he was making progress
in the repairing of the Silver Springs
road. Mr.. Marsh said that he had
filled in the worst holes between the
city and the springs, and had pro-
ceeded with the reworking of the
road as far as the Marion farms,
working from the city.
Mr.. Marsh said that the foreman
OF the Atlantic Coast Line crew, now
making repairs on the crossings, had
requested that the city take up a
strip of the brick at the Broadway
crossing, for the purpose of raising
them with view to making the
crossing level. The street committee
will take the matter up.
