The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-01-27

In discussing the condition of thet
MIA mine yesterday and the big
owing of ore that has just been dis
losee on the 1000 level, Manager
7harles McKinnis stated that there is
enough ore now available in the mine
10 continue running at the present ca
oacity for three years. The drift on
hat ia now called the 1000-foot level,
running from the bottom OF the
0inze which has since been connected
by an upraise and which is part of the
outlet to the Kellogg tunnel of the
Bunker Hill, has been driven through
ground that is very faulty and which
at times rendered it difficult to follow
the vein. The amount of ore varied,
the conditions being practically the
same as had been encountered IN the
upper levels. Within the last few days
the ore has come in stronger until
there is now fully seven feet of ship
ping ore with probably as much OF
milling grade The ore is galena, none
of the rich carbonate that has made
the Caledonia famous having been
found on this level
Orc on All Levels.
There are now about 35 men en-
ployed in the Caledonia, but the GNo4-
age number during the pass gear was
30. These men are working on all the
levels from the 1000 to above the 5oo
In the upper levels only the high grade
has been mined and large quantities
of good mill feed remain in all, includ-
ing the 300. A crosscut will soon De
run to cut the ore shoot just disclosed
on the 1O00-foo level of the Keatlng
tunnel level, with every prospect OF
finding it. The Keating tunnel Is
about rs feet below the 1O0O-foot level
The present showing in the Called onia
appears to be better than ever before
and there is every reason to expect
that its rich ore bodies will continue
at great depth.
Some Record Cars.
On January the Caledonia shipped
a carload of ore of 1892 tons, for
which the smelter returns showed a
gross value of $7S136S and a net value
of $67736.54.
On January another car was ship
ped of 39.11 tons, the gross value OF
which was $SO679S and the net value
was ssS3157.

IMPORTANCE OF CONSTRUCT

interruption to traffic on the Northern
Pacific by the snowslide which carried

that preparation is now being made
TO sink from the main tunnel OF the
Amazon Dixie. Quite a large station
is being cut out to accommodate the
hoist, and this will have to be en-
larged when a new permanent hoist
is installed. The height of the station
will be As feet and the hoist which
has been used in eleyating timbers in
the raise will be used. It's capacity
is upwards Of $50 feet, at which point
a station will be cut and skip pocket

THIS STEER WAS NO SLOUGH,

A steer, wild as a deer and full of
fight, belonging to the Fuller Cattle
company, was brought to the Santa
Fe corrals Sunday, consigned to Lau-
ten & Hosfelt, of the Parker Meat
Market. This steer was a beautiful
creature. Weighing 1880 pounds, as
sleek and glossy as velvet, as alert
ard fleet-fOoted as a stag and as
fierce and aggressive as a maddened
lion, it would have made an ideal
specimen for a Spanish bull fight
for with this individual in the arena
the 'toreadors would surely have to
step high and lively if they would
save their bacon.
.Supt Holiday says that this steer
was brought to the reservation with
other cattle about four years ago,
VIXEN quite young, and being of a
wild nature, it did not remain long
with the herd but sought the most
dense thickets along the river be-
tween Calzona and the Indian
agency. Repeated attempts had been
made to corral it but without avail,
for the beast was so shy and wary,
always keeping to the most dense
cover, and so speedy in it's move
ments, that to rope it seemed like
a hopeless task. Finally George
Long, foreman of the ranch, and Geo.
Laird, the crack cowboy and most
expert ropeman of the company, de-
cided they would catch him or t'bust.
Fakdng along a good cattle dog, the
aniAal was finally located and the
pursuit began. In the race Longs
horse fell, knocking it's rider sense
lsss for a aime. but Laird kept on
and at last succeeded in roping and
tying the maverick. Later the cap
tive was with much difficulty put
aboard one of the Santa Fe's local
cars and brought here, but it fought
savagely all the way and nearly de-
molished the car before it reached
it's destination.
ON Monday the steer was taken to
the slaughter house by Long and
Laird, and another exciting scene
ensued in which the furious animal
nearly gored one of the saddle horses
but under the skillful handling of
the cowboys the slaughter corral was
reached with no mishap

STRIKE SETTLED.

CLIFTON, Jan 26.-The Clifton
Morenci strike, which has tied up
one of Arizona's richest mining dis
ariSts and thrown more than 5000
men out of employment since Sep
tember II, is at an end, Al meet
ipgs held early this week in Clifton,
Mordnoi and Metcalf, the strikers
voted unanimously to go back to wor
under the terms offered by the mine
managers January 8. This means
.that the sliding wage scale will be
extended to cover 24-cent copper and
that the managers will meet with
grievance committees once every 80
days No union is recognized and
the refugees at Duncan are to return
TO their old positions on the same
BASIS. The charters held by the
strikers in the Western Federation
of Miners were surrendered three
weeks ago.
When informed that the strikers
had DECIDED to go back to work,
Norman Carmichael, general manager
Of the Arizona Copper company,
said:
"We were determined that the
Western Federation of Miners and
its influences should be eliminated
from the district. We shall now
treat With the men in a broad spirit" 4"

FLOOD WATERS STILL RISING
WHOLE VALLEY is COVERED
FROM ONE TO FOUR FEET
DEEP-WoRsT NOT YET.

YUMA, Jan. 22.-Yuma valley is
covered to a depth of from one to
four feet Of flood water from the Col
orado river tonight, as a result of the
breaking Of the government levees
near here today, The city of Yuma
was in darkness and without a supply
of water, as the plants supplying gas,
electricity and water were flooded.
There was great alarm here. The
stage of the river is now thirty-four
feet, which is regarded as an ex-
treme danger point with the water
still rising. The crest of the Colo
l'ado and Gila floods may not have
come yet. If they join here the
greatest apprehension would be felt
for the great Southern Pacific rail
road bridge though it is Of the strong
est possible construction and one of
the best on the system. Such a juno
turd of the crest floods would wipe
out a considerable part of the town.
A citizenr' committee is maintain
ing order here, Mayor c. Moore hav-
ing died Of heart failure during the
excitement that prevailed shortly
after the levees gave way.
Business houses in the main streets
here We're flooded to depth of four
feet by the water and many of the
older buildings were washed away or
badly damaged. Residents were sent

CIeaninr Garments.

IN cleaning whole garment it is
a good plan first to brush well, and,
second, to mark each spot with white
thread before putting into the gaso-
line bath. Then the spots can be
found and given special attention
without much searching The best
way Of removing the dirt after using
gasoline, as advised III the Handbook
OF Cleaning, by Sarah j. Macleod is
to pour the gasoline back into the jug
through piece of filter paper Oh

A LESSON IN LIFE.

Habits rule us and they fool US;
they make us and they break us.
The saving habit is the best habit
We know of.
Pennies saved spell affluence;
dollars squandered spell poverty.
The saving habit brings wealth and
honor.
The 'squander" habit brings the
poor-house and disgrace. Dollars
rightly slanted, will grow. The sea-
son is the whole year around. The
soil, the Commercial Bank of Parker.
Making money and saving money
it is great fun.
| dollar saved is a good friend;
a dollar misspent is an arch enemy.
The misuse of money is the begin
ming of every downfall
The wise use of money is ahe be-
ginning of every uplift.
Money sense is just good common
sense. Soaring" dollars fly away,
never to return. Planted" dollars
g1ow and come back to you with
their increase. The saving habit is
a saving grace. To have learned
this lesson is to have learned to live.
Yours very truly,
THE COMMERCIAL BANK.

4 Naughty Bird.

Lew Miskell received last week
as a gift from friends in Los Angeles,
a parrot which he keeps in his place
Of business This parrot can talk as
g!ibly and intelligently as the aver
age police court shyster, but there is
nothing remarkable about that 1t
delights in music. Let any one whis-
tie lively air and it is all atten-
ton; rufflipg up it's neck feathers
aud extending its wings, it will
waltz around on it's perch and go
through all the carnal contortions of
the hoochie-coochie,r in a manner
that would delight the most critical
admirers of that Oriental dance and
cause the Salome belle of the Bar
barry Coast dance hall to go way back
and sit down. Lew now has two
lets with musical propensities-a dog
and a pal'rot. But their tastes are
diametricallyi opposed to each other
The dog takes to sentimental airs
luke the sad signing of the autumn
wind through the cracks and cram
nies of deserted barn, while the
parrot likes vivacious music, of the
kind that is under the ban of the
pulpit, as tending to excite lustful
fancies. Lew is in dilemma-he
don't know what to do about it. He
would much rather the parrot didn't
like such things. But what's the
use? If pigs is pigs parrots can't
be green, unsophisticated angels,
withal that they have the color and
wings.

THE DEVILS
ESPECIAL"
A "SPOOkY" HOUSE SEEN FLOAT
NOBODY ABOARD BUT sTEERED
BY AN INVISIBLE HAND.

A tribal tradition of the Wallapai
Indians to the effect that the devils
home is located somewhere up in
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
was in a measure verified according
to story told this week by William
mclaughlin, who holds a squatter's
right ON tract of land up in the Bill
Williams district
The Colorado river has been very
high since the recent rains, carrying
down all manner of debris, and on
Thursday afternoon of last week, as
dusk was approaching and McClaugh
lin was trudging homeward along the
river road, he saw what he judged to
be three-room house fully intact,
riding the turbulent waters of the
river, gliding on a perfectly even
keel, keeping the middle of the
stream and lodging sandbars and
other distractions as cleverly as if
an expert river navigator were at the
helm.
AL doors and windows were clos
ed and strange to say smoke was
curling up from the kitchen stove
pipe as naturally as if the family
supper were in the course of prepa
ration, though the house was all dark
and not living soul appeared to be
aboard. mclaughlin helloed loudly
several times but no answer greeted
his ears save the dismal echo of his
own voice.
I Now there was a something about
ahat silent, gloomy house with its
smoking stovepipe so uncanny or
ghostzlike, that mclaughlin says it
gave him the 'creeps" while he
could feel his hair raising under his
hats and ut was with no little effort
that he reasoned with himself and
stood his ground until the thing had
passed out of sight around a bend in
the river.
'Mac" is no coward, for, being a
veteran of the Filipano war, he has
braved death and faced the muir
derous Tagal bolos in many a des
Derate conflict, and neither is he
superstitious, but that phantom-like
house was so suggestive of hell gone
adrift-and the smoking chimney the
smoke of torment that ascends for
ever and ever from that baleful re-
gion-requiring no great stretch of
imagination for one to even see the
hideous witches within, stirring the
sedHhing caldron for their gruesome
meal shopping about the sombre
apartments or grimacing at him
from the darkened windows, that the
sight ''got his goat completely.
Diligent inquiry up and down the
river has failed to reveal any inform
alton as to whom the house belong
eds where it came from, where it
finally landed-if at all-and what
has become of it's occupants.
Apropos Of this, together with the
further fact that high water has been
doing great damage, raising hell"
so to speak. in the lowlands along
the Colorado, maybe mclaughlin S
impression wasn't so much of an idle
fancy or ''pipe dream" after all, for
from the damage wrought it does
seem as though the devil himself
was on the job and that this myste-
rious house was his special" on
the way to the scene of devastation.

How Can a Foreigner Telli

This is a time when some very portentoua
questions before the public. in which the peo-
pie of the world are concerned TO the extent OF
knowing Just what American public sentiments
really is The only authoritative expression Of
policy can come from the government at Wash
ington. This makes the course pursued there
all the more important, and at this moment all
the more amazing. The action OF the senate on
Friday in dealing with the armed ship question
must be puzzling, not only to Germany, but to all
foreigners. Even a Yankee. accustomed to the
vagaries OF our statesmen. will be at loss to
tell just what the honorable gentlemen mean.
For example, our senator says he would have
voted for the Gore resolution. but he did vote
TO prevent its being considered acted upon.
other aimilar expressions come from doughty
democrats who lined up to cut off debate and
leave the matter unsettled.
The policy OF the president is not yet the
national policy. although II may become 80. For
this reason II Is important that some means be
found for determining II the people are willing
TO support the executive In q course that may
lead to serious consequences, II not to actual
war Congress has no right TO hamper the pres
ident In any negotiations he may be carrying
forward, nor can the congress properly take the
initiative In foreign policy. This much is ele-
mental as is also the proposition that the presi-
dent alone cannot plunge the country into war

With tho present confusion Of tongues at

else, tell what the public sentiment Of America

why Not a New Passenger Station :

II is definitely settled that the Union Pacific
will soon begin to replace its present Missouri
river bridge with a new and more commodious
structure adequate TO the demands OF the traffic.
Omaha has been patient with the present
wretched bridge situation. which, for long
time. has been an aggravatlon TO the travelling
public and a detrlment TO the city.
But the bridge and station must be consid-
cred together as constituting single terminal.
omaha is due as much for a new passenger sta
ton as II is for a new bridge, because present
Accommodate are wholly outgrown, to say
nothing OF the dilapidated and usually dirty and
unsanitary condition Of the place. Omaha is
entitled TO station facilities for travellers in and
out OF the city that will measure up better with
those which the same roads offer other cities Of
like or lesser Importance railway centers.
II may be taken for granted that the demand
for a new passenger station for Omaha, like the
demand for a new bridge, will be STALLED OFF,
by the customary poverty plea" which, how
ever, cannot be accepted. The Union Pacific
people must not forget that Omaha paid for that
bridge originally with bond subsidy and do
mated all the land and trackage rights in the ter
minal They must not think the public ignorant.
either of the fact that the other roads exercising
Joint use OF these terminals pay to the Union
Pacific princely rentals every year in addition to
their share OF the maintenance charges, and that
they have something coming for their money
more than they have been getting.
The Bee ventures the opinion that right now
is the proper time for a concerted movement by
omaha's business organizations and public au-
thorities TO pull for the much needed new Union
depot
