Wallace Celebrated The lF0uurGh
of July lin a Sames Sober and
I'm a MANNER Worthy of Occasion

3
If one desired TO be captious he
might point out wherein the commit
tee of arrangements for the Fourth OF
July might have improved the pro-
gram, and particularly 1t could be
shown how the police department ut
terly failed in handling the crowd at
the park where the program was car
ried out. However, the good features
of the day so far outwelghed these
matters that 1t would be out of har-
mony with the occasion to find fault.
After an almost steady rain all day
July 8, the prospect for favorable
weather on the Fourth was anything
but encouraging. But the nations
birthday seemed to be the turning
point in weather conditions, for the
day dawned bright and not cloud
marred or threatened during the day
There were several notable features of
the celebration in wallace which de-
serve special mention.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-07-06

The address by Rev. d. M. Helmick,
pastor of the Methodist church in this
city, was stirring appeal to the pa
triotism of the people. The Fourth of
July in any year is day when every
thoughtful and loyal American rekin-
dies the fires of patriotism as he real
ICES with the passing years the privi-
leges and blessings We enjoy as COM
pared with those of any other country
on earth, and he becomes more than
ever resolved to see that they are per-
petuated. The impending trouble with
Mexico, the call for recruits and the
local response to the call, the activity
Of hyphenated citizens in behalf of
their native land as opposed to the
land Of their adoption, added to the
natural inspiration of the occasion,
gave force and directness to the ad-
dress of Mr.. Helmick which was
greeted with frequent outbursts of
enthusiastic applause. He touched a
responsive chord in the hearts of
every true American who heard him,
and the people were better citizens
and were in better form to imbibe the
spirit of the celebration for having
heard him.

BIG CREEK MINING Co.
START LONG CROSSCUT
WILL DRIVE 5000 FEET AND GAIN
500 FEET DEPTH-RlCH ORE
IN UPPER WORKINGS.

Plans of the Big Creek Mining COM
pany, which have been outlined in re-
cent issues of this paper, have now
taken definite shape and are being
carried into effect. These in brief in
volve the installation Of a compressor
and electric power plant and the driv-
ing of a crosscut tunnel to cut the
vein 5000 feet below the present lower
tunnel. Lumber and other building
material Is now being delivered at the
property for the construction of a
boarding house, compressor house and
other necessary buildings, and tenn
porary tents have been put up to ac-
comodate the men during the period
of construction. The camp will be
located near the wagon road on the
creek level and a trail will be made
on an easy grade leading to the site
of the new tunnel.
Over 5000 Feet Long.
Definite calculations have not yet
been made, but it is estimated by G..
Scott Anderson, manager of the Big
Creek company, that 1t will be neces-
sary to run from 5000 to $500 feet to
reach the vein. 1t Is proposed to
work three shifts and it is believed
that the work can be accomplished
within one year.
The ground above the present lower
tunnel Is under lease, and the splen-
did showing of ore there leaves no
other conclusion that a large body
of high grade silver ore will open upon
the completion of the crosscut. Sam
Piles of gray "copper" native silver and
bromide of silver recently taken from
the leased ground, and from a vein
of great strength, combine to make a
powerful incentive to explore the
ground at depth

HYPOTHEEK SHIPMENTS
SHOW GOOD RETURNS
NEW MOTOR INSTALLED TO RUN
MILL-MoRE ORE THAN THE
MILL CAN HANDLE.

The first carload of concentrates
shipped from the Hypotheek mill to
the Northport smelter returned 518
per cent lead and ounces of silver.
The second shipment, designated on
the certificate as lot No. 2, was crude
ore and returned 72 per cent lead and
8 ounces silver. The car of concen-
trates was not up to the standard of
known to contain considerable waste
material Incidental to starting the
mill. A new and more powerful mo-
tor was being substituted for the
smaller one to run the mill this week
and was expected to be in position
yesterday. The mill has been doing
excellent work, and with the new mo-
tor in position and other changes
tending to increase the capacity, the
company expects to make regular
shipments of two carloads per week.
The company now has more than
enough water for milling purposes
and the management states that there
is no doubt that there will be all that
is needed in the dry season, that is, by
pumping the water back after it has
been used. About 10 per cent of the
water can be reused in this way.
Ore in intermediate Level.
Drifting is in progress at point in
the raise half way between the 900
and 100, corresponding to the 1000
foot level This shows a full face of
good milling ore. There is no foot
wall and the width of the shoot is not
known. To those who have intimated
from time to time that the Hypotheek
had not sufficient ore to keep the mill
running it will be interesting to learn
that since the mill has been running
regularly 1t has been necessary to
lay off the men in the mine one day
a week because the mill was covered
up with ore, so to speak, the bins and
chutes all being filled to the limit.

Distance to Vein Being Rapidly Re-
duced in Long Crosscut.
When the employees of the Cedar
Creek Mining & Development COM
pany quit work to celebrate the
Fourth of July they had driven 1900
feet of the crosscut and had 700 feet
left to run to reach the vein. The
ground is very hard and the COM
pany employs six men, and yet under
these circumstances 10 feet was made
during the month of June, which is
considered mighty good record. That
the crosscut will strike a shoot of ore
when the vein is reached is regarded
more than probable. The ore shoot
has been developed in two upper tun-
nels. In the intermediate tunnel a
shaft has been sunk 1875 feet in good
milling ore and a drift has been run
260 feet from the bottom, also in ore
Of good milling grade. The crosscut
now being run is $50 feet below the
bottom of this shaft.

This was the first dry celebration In
Idaho, and here in Wallace the con-
trast with celebrations of the Fourth
of July in former years was most
striking The saloons heretofore so
dominated the celebration that 1t was
only within very recent years that the
public sentiment was strong enough
to force the program of sports to the
city park instead Of in the streets in
order to hold the crowd In front of
the saloons. Drunkenness and disor-
der were the rule and in many quar-
ters Of the business section women
We're exposed to indecency and insult
1t was different this year. The crowd
began to arrive the evening of the
third and sthe trains and jitneys on
the morning of the Fourth rolled the
people in by hundreds. The crowd
was large, perhaps larger than ever
before, and the streets were at times
jammed so that passage was next to
impossible. But the. crowd was made
up of we'll dressed, we'll behaved and
good-natured men and women. There
was not place in the business section
of the city where women and children
could not go in perfect safety and
without being subjected to insult or
offensive treatment. In fact there
were no drunks. For the first time in
history Wallace celebrated the Fourth
Of July without booze. The city was
sober. During the day there were alb
solutely no intoxicated men to be
seen. In the evening there was some
drunkenness, for there is no doubt
that if man is bound to have booze
he will find bootlegger who will sup
ply him; and besides the evening train
brought in quite bunch from Mon
tana who were comfortably loaded and
probably brought bottles with them.
But the day was in such striking con-

LEAD IN INDEPENDENT
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE
FULL FACE OF PER CENT ORE
IN VEIN BEING EXPLORED
FOR COPPER.

The Independent Copper Mining &
Milling company may find it necessary
to substitute Lead" for Copper" in
its corporate name in order to be con-
sistent with the character of the pro-
perty, for this week the change in the
face of the drift gave material evil
dence that the Independent is to be a
lead mine. Samples which represent
the full width of the drift were
brought down by Manager John H.
Nordquist appear to be a combination
of carbonate, sulphate and phosphate
of lead, and an assay showed lead
content of per cent. The 1ndepend-
ent property consists of three patent
ed claims lying between the National
on the south and the MissouIa Cop
per on the north, while on the east Is
the Lucky Calumet. The main tun-
mel of Missoula Copper crosses the
Independent, intersecting the Inde-
pendent vein, and from this crosscut
the Independent is drifting east. The
drift had been extended about 800 feet
last fall when work was suspended.
Strike Lead Ore.
A contract was let some time ago
to run 800 feet and about half this
work has been accomplished, making
the total distance from the crosscut
$50 feet. The lead ore that has now
been encountered made its appear
ance in a vein that comes in from the
northwest, but whether it will main
tain its course and cut across. the vein
that was being followed or merge into
it remains to be seen. 1t will not be
surprising if the two unite to form
one large lead vein and soon disclose
a large body of lead ore. Certainly
the showing now is most flattering
and the progress of development is a
matter of unusual interest. Another
interesting feature is that the Lucky
Calumet, just to the east, is driving
crosscut north to reach this same
vein, and when it is reached 1t will
probably be found to be carrying lead
instead of copper

he Vein Shows Ore for Width OF
Over IL Feet.
Sam Hammer, who has q contract
to drive the tunnel on the C. & r.,
came down on the third to spend the
fourth. He states that the crosscut,
after intersecting the vein some time
ago, was extended some so feet. The
vein showed a little ore, The tunnel
cut the vein Cbliquely and after pros
pecting the ground to the extent stat
ed, the course was changed eastward
to pick up the vein. This has been
accomplished with most gratifying re-
suits. The vein where encountered
showed ore for its full width of 12
feet and as the drift proceeds the
showing of ore improves. Mr. Ham
mer exhibited samples of ore taken
from a streak following the hanging
wall. The tunnel is at depth of
'1about 500 feet, and much confidence
Is now felt that q large ore body of
commercial value will soon be devel-
oped. There is reported a good show
ing of ore in the upper tunnel.

CH|CAGO-BOSTON Co.
DEVELOPING TWO VEINS
SOON HAVE GRAY COPPER ORE
SHOOT IN NO. 6-SHIP CAR
LOAD OF LEAD ORE.

In No. tunnel of the Chicago Bos
ton, where a shoot of gray copper ore
has been developed 200 feet long and
averaging 6 feet wide, fault cuts the
vein at the west end of the shoot and
carries 1t 900 feet further SOUTH al
which point the vein apparently re-
sumes its regular easterly and Wester-
ly course. The fault ON this level
carries more or less ore. No 6 tun
mel, $50 feet below No. 5, this week
cut the fault at point about SO feet
south of the ore shoot as indicated
by survey. Several inches of high
grade gray copper was found in the
fault, more than was found in II
above. Drifting has now been started
north on the fault to the vein, which
will probably be reached in less than
so feet and at a point under the ore
shoot in No. 6. Following the rule
that seems to prevail in the dry ore
belt, this shoot should be larger and
richer at this depth, and it will not be
surprising to find ore richer than any
that has been found before in the
property. Shipments of 70-ounce ore
have been made from No. and If the
grade of the ore holds good in No. {
the company will be in position tC
make shipments that will solve the
financial question of developing ant
equipping the property.
Better Ore in Lead Vein.

gray copper, to which reference was
made in the last issue of The Miner
and which has been opened to lin.
tied extent by two crosscuts from tun.
mel No. s, Is to be further and more
Systematically explored. A tunnel has
been started on the vein a short dis
tance north of the portal of No.
This tunnel broke into ore almost al
the grass roots and is now in better
ore than any that has been found. The
ore is coming in from the bottom and
is gradually covering the face of the
drift. The ore is better grade, aver
aging 25.5 per cent lead and 15.5
ounces silver. The shoot evidently
rakes to the west and the improve
ment in this short drift indicates a
large body of shipping ore at little
further depth. In this drift there are
great chunks of shipping ore being
taken out and the management will
probably sort and ship a carload The
outlook for the Chicago Boston is
certainly very flattering, and at the
present rate of development of the
two veins the company may be in po-
sition to pay for the new milling plant

The callithumpian parade in the
evening excited great enthusiasm,
and while the participants were not as
numerous as desired, the novelty Of
the floats and characters represented
made up for the lack of numbers. The
Boy Scouts depicting the Boston Tea
Party" was an ingenius conception,
representing an historical event which
was the forerunner of the adoption of
the Declaration of Independence The
appropriateness of the float together
with the popularity of the Boy Scouts
won great applause along the line of
march. The Lady Maccabees carrying

represented all possessed unusual
merit and received liberal applause.

TO DETERMINE FRESH EGGS
One Can Generally Tell by Color, Pro- sided It Is Not Too Old-Water
 Test Is Favored.

How do you tell when an egg Is fresh? How do you determine that an egg is stale?
 One can generally tell by the color of an egg when it is fresh. provided it is not more than two or three days old. The shell of a fresh egg is clear. bright and is not easily mistaken for stale egg. Nevertheless this is not an infallible guide.
 Eggs kept in water glass for some time will stay at the bottom when immersed in water. Eggs from ten to fourteen days old kept in room at temperature of about 6 degrees, when immersed in pail of water, will turn on end and begin to rise to the top. As the age of the egg increases it will rise in water more readily. If kept in a cool place it is said that nearly a month will elapse before the egg will rise to the top in water.
 When an egg is held to the light, if it is old or stale an air-space can be seen in it. The air-space increases as the egg gets older. This Is called candling and it is the sIrest way of determining whether or not eggs are fresh.
 If a stale egg Is shaken its contents will run together and a sound can be heard. Eggs once frozen when they thaw out will shake so the sound can be heard.
 Whether an egg was laid the same day to be eaten can be determined if 1t is boiled hard In this case the skin will adhere to the shell. It will not peel easily. Perhaps this test would hold for an egg boiled the same way day after it was laid.-Arizona Experiment Station.

TASK OF SHEDDING FEATHERS
Heavy Drain on Constitution of Fowl Can Be Aided by Feeding High
 Iy Protein Foods.

The shedding of feathers is heavy drain on the constitution of the fowl because 1t is necessary to manufacture 2 new coat. The making of new feathers can be greatly aided by feed ing highly protein or meat foods. The ordinary grains like wheat, corn and oats do not contain enough protein. Meat scraps from the house or com mercial beef scraps are necessary if best results are to be obtained. If a fowl is thoroughly chilled and thereby weakened by late molting during cold weather. she will find it difficult to recuperate until late winter or early spring. By giving her extra care she can be started laying much earlier in the winter.
