Deer are always fully protected on
Swan Island in the Kennebec river,
which comprises the town of Perkins,
through a statute law, but the peo-
pie resident there are known far and
wide as hospitable to a marked degree.
so that when poor young deer was
recently cast away in the river near
that island the other day, it was GER
tain to fall into good hands, and it did.
The following is the substance of a let
ter received by the Inland Fisheries
and Game, written Dec. Is by j. E.
Wade of Perkins:
while returning home last Friday
with two sons, we discovered deer in
the river. There was ice on either side,
extending to some distance into the
channel. We hitched our team, got a
boat and broke our way to open
water, rescued the young deer in a
chilled and exhausted condition. l
don't think it could possibly have lived
as there was no possible way for it to
reach shore. We wrapped it in blan-
kets. carried it home, into the house
and dried and warmed it. We now
have it in the barn with the young
cattle.
please write me by return mail
what 1 shall do with it. Under the cir
cumstances, it almost seems that I
ought to have it, or at least be al
lowed to keep it long enough to insure
its safety. If it is turned loose at this
time there is danger, as the river is
only partly frozen over here. I don't
think there are any deer in town. as I
have not seen any for two years or
more.
II should have written you before.
but owing to the storm it has been i'm
possible to get mail to the post office"
The commissioners, in view of the
kindly disposition shown by Mr.. Wade
and his family in saving and caring
for the little deer, have granted the
requested permission to keep 1t IN
their custody. Swan island. or the town
Of Perkins, has at least one deer WITH
in its limits-under the full protec-
ton Of the law and its friends.

GOy.-Elect Milliken Gains
Strength on Budget System

Governor elect Carl f. Milliken re-
turned Tuesday morning from Wash
ington, D. c., where he attended the
ninth annual Governors Conference.
The budget system which Governor
elect Millken advocates in this State
. was discussed at the conference. par
ticularly by Governor Harrington of
Maryland, who is elected for a term
of four years and who consequently
has two sessions of the Legislature In
that interval. A beginning on the bud
get system was made at the first seS-
sion and the people adopted the sys-
TEN by accepting constitutional
amendment. The amendment is SIM
liar to the one offered in New York
state but which was defeated. Under
this amendment the Legislature can
decrease but not increase apprOpria-
tons.
1.-The Maryland law provides that the
governor must present the executive
budget at the opening of the legisla-
tive session, and, excepting in regard
to the legislative expenses and the ex-
penses of the judicial branch of the
government, the Legislature may de-
crease the governors appropriations
but cannot increase Them" said Gov
ernor-elect Milliken Tuesday. II be-
lieve that the constitutional amend
ment as passed in Maryland is logi-
cal but the same result can be accom-
plished by cooperation between the
Governor and the Legislature without
a constitutional amendment. The bud
get system in it's preliminary form in
Maryland was the means of saving
$4,000 in legislative expenses at the
last session.
q after my trip I am more strongly
in favor of the budget system than
ever" declared Governor-elect Mill
ken.
Governor-elect Milliken talked with
DR.. Goodnow, the president of Johns
Hopkins University of Baltimore. who
is recognized in the science of govern
ment, and while in New York called at
the Office of the Bureau of Municipal
Research and cleaned information as
to the workings of that organization,
particularly as to the budget system
in New York City. He also studied the
attempts which were made by Cover
nor Charles S. Whitman to have a
budget system in New York state.

MANY ENCOURAGING ASSAYS
ARE OBTAINED IN DRIV-

The usual development work con-
tinues in the property of the Re-
organized Kewanas Mining company,
at a depth of about $40 feet. The
main north drift has progressed to
point over 700 feet from the
winze through which all work is
conducted and has continued for
part of the way in the shale con
tact zone. Cross-cuts have been
driven at intervals to prospect the
vein and the formation on both
sides.
Many good assays have been OBJ
tanned in the course of this work
and the results, while not yielding
any deposits of commercial ore, have
encouraged the belief that such ore
bodies will be found with further
development work at this depth. or
in driving raises and wines from
this level. The ground now being
explored is highly mineralized, con-

ore that can be extracted prOfitably
for shipment. 1t is apparent, how
ever, that much of the material can
be treated profitably by flotation.

WEDGE COPPER'S
PROSPECT GOOD
PROPERTY is SHIPPING AND
DEVELOPING ON A BROAD
SCALE

The Wedge Copper Mining COM
pany at Luning has started work on
the cross-cut tunnel, which is to
connect with the portal of tunnel

to develop a body of high-grade
copper sulphide ore, the top CT
which was cut in tunnel No. 1, and
will undercut tunnel No. 1, 200
feet, besides opening the vein 500
feet farther west. The distance to
the vein is approximately 100 feet.
This work will be done on COM
is reached the work will be turned
over to contractors, the company
to supply air for the operations Of
the drills and furnish powder and
other supplies. A pipe line 500
feet in length has been laid from

is located and the machine drills
are now in use.
A 50-ton car of ore was shipped
last week, the product of rough sort"
No. 1. Mine assays indicate cop

north drift has been driven 31S
feet in ore and is making depth at
the rate of six inches for every foot
driven No attempt has been made
to stope and shipments probably will
be confined to the sorted ore taken
out in the course of development
work for some time to come.
The sulphide ore appears to come
in about on the level OF No. 1
tunnel sometimes making up three
or four feet above the floor. 1t IS
expected, therefore, that No. 2
tunnel will be in shipping ore when
the vein is cut, in which the COM
pany will ship steadily.
Development work has been
crowded at the Wedge since the
company was formed and the Wedge

EUREKA MINING DISTRICT HAS
Become MORE ACTIVE OF LATE

Immense Importance to future de-
velopment of mining in Eureka

to the work being done on Prospect
mountain at the California mine in

claim, the Huebner properties, and
at the Connolly under direction
of Major H. G. Catlin, represent

At the California, the Kelley and

long period a rarity in this sec
ton. Five carloads have been ship
ped the past week. or approximately
100 tons, that will average as brok-
en- about $40 to $50 per ton.
Practically similar ore has been
developed on the Mortimer in two
or more mine workings.
The work on the California and
Mortimer is unique in mining in
the Eureka district, in that it de-
monstrates that ore deposits of good
pay value may be found in tho
vicinity of the rhyolite, dixie o.
which cuts through both proper
ties, and is found on the Huebner
claims.
1t is said the rhyolite also shows
on the Uncle Sam claim across the
Diamond canyon roadway and is
practically continuous up to the
Hamburg mine.

picture these days, and with the
several ore dumps teams, hosting
apparatus, and numerous gangs OF
men busy erecting frames for build
ings and gallows frames, reminds

the value of the quartz near the
Ifoot-wall of the big vein. When
work on this level
shall have advanced sufficiently,
it is the plan of II. G. Mcmahon
who has charge of the company S
Nfeairs, to start work on the 300
foot level, where some lateral work
has already been done but where
neither of the main veins was pene-
trated.
This work can be undertaken at
comparatively little cost to the com
pany, as the shaft is 800 feet deep
and in good condition, while the
property is well equipped for ex'
tensive work at depth and is pro-
vided with machine drills. At the
800 level it is estimated that the
west vein will be cut within short
distance of the shaft, and this
vein has produced quantity of
shipping ore from workings near
the surface.

Conditions in the mine are rr-
ported highly satisfactory, with a
large tonnage of good mill ore
blocked out and ore of shipping
grade exposed in considerable guam
tity on and above the 530-foot level,
in territory south of the main shaft
and near the old slopes of the Ro-
gers-Syndicate lease. Old lease
dumps scattered over the property
are estimated to contain approx
mately $4,000 tons of ore that

The flotation plant is effecting a
high extraction of metals and oper-
ating costs are said to be low. The
plant has not attained full ca
pacity of operation, as the usual reg
ulation and adjustment of new ma
chinery has raised the usual obsta-
cles in operating on a large scale
at the beginning. There is assur-
ance, however, that the plant will
soon be treating at least 200 tons

in excellent condition. with a consid-
cradle quantity of shipping ore ex-
posed on and above the 53O-foot
level, south of the main shaft and

POSED NEAR GRIZZLY
BEAR BOUNDARY

On the 1750-foot level of the
Atlanta the west cross-cut, driven
from the main Atlanta workings
and for the purpose of reaching and
exploring the main Goldfield Con-
solidated vein, has penetrated the
hanging wall of that great lode,
which is the main ore-channel of
the district, and is progressing in
quartz of favorable character and
yielding encouraging assays in gold,
silver and copper. While this work
has not exposed any deposit of pay
ore, the results obtained are re-
garded as satisfactory.
In work performed some time
ago at a depth of about 1900 feet,
while driving to make an air con-
rection between the workings of the
Atlanta and those of the adjoin-
ing Grizzly Bear mine of the Con-
solidated, an ore-shoot of good pro-
mise was exposed, yielding assays
up to $40 per ton and dipping to
the south. The point where the
Bear ground, near the boundary

avanced to seek the extension of
this ore-shoot.

started a cross-cut to the south
from a point near the top of the
raise, in the northern part of the

GOOD OUTLOOK
ON SANDSTONE
ORE-SHOOTS OPENED BY BONAN-
IA LEASES ARE SOUGHT
AT DEPTH

Interest in the work of the
Sandstorm Kendall Consolidated
has been revived in considerable
degree as the result of the more
favorable conditions prevailing in
the south drift on the 350-foot
level, which is following the main
vein from which early-day lessees
extracted ore of bonanza grade and
which yielded comfortable fortunes
to a number of the lucky lease
operators. The work of these les
sees was confined to gouging out
the high-grade material found at
little depth, and in the absence
of mining equipment suitable for
extensive work, no attempt was
made to gain depth and the leased
ground was opened to depth or
only about 65 feet
In view of the well-defined char
acter of the vein and its uniformity
of trend and dip, with an absence
of fault displacement, 1t has al
ways been the belief of mining au-
thorities that these rich ore-shoots
would be found extending to con-
siderable depth, but the vein IS
now being explored for the first
time below the old lease workings.
Encouraging assays have been OBJ
tanned in driving on the vein and
the work is now nearing a point
under the old surface workings.
