INDEPENDENT COPPER
STRIKES RICH LEAD ORE
COPPER VEIN CHANGES TO LEAD
LOOKS LIKE PERMANENT
ORE SHOOT.

The most interesting development of
the past few weeks is the striking of
a body of lead ore by the Independent
Copper Mining company The pro-
perty consists of two claims and a
fraction lying between the National on
the south and the Missoua Copper on
the north. West of it is the Copper
King and east is the Lucky Calumet,
and not the least interesting feature
is the possible bearing the strike will
have upon the last named property.
The lower tunnel of Missoula Copper
starts on Independent ground and at
800 feet it cut the Independent vein.
From this crosscut drift has been
run east 440 feet and it is here that the
lead ore made its appearance about
three weeks ago. 1t seemed to be
another Vein cutting In obliquely from
the northwest, but as yet there has
been no evidence of it's passing out,
the two veins seeming to be merged
into one. Shortly after striking it the
entire face was in lead ore that was
described at the time as combination
of carbonate, sulphate and phosphate
of lead, giving an average assay of
per cent across the face.
Hiqh Value in Lead,
The width of the ore declined as
the drift advanced, but is now again
the full width of the tunnel. An as
say of sample representing an aver
age across the face was made this
week which showed 80 ounce silver
and 8.2 per cent lead A sample of
the wall rock gave 81 per cent lead,
and a sample of the lead phosphate,
which is the striking feature of the
showing, gave 6S.4 per cent lead. The
phosphate is distributed throughout
the face but there is about two feet
which is much better than the re-
mainder and which would show a high
average value. The depth is about
500 feet and is increasing as the drift
advances east. The face of the drift
is now about 700 feet from the west
end line of the Lucky Calumet The
Independent has the lead throughout
the length of two claims.
Heavy owners in the Independent
are Jack Howard formerly of this dis
trict and now in Nevada; John H.
Nordquist and Joe Themes, of Wal
lace; Henry Billberg, Bean Bros. and
Forest Clark, of Mullan. Other owners
live in southern California.

WEST HUNTER.
Vein Was Cut Last Week-PIans For
Further DEVELOPMENT.

FuTtner OeVeiopmenr.
The crosscut on the West Hunter
encountered the vein last week and
has been extended about ten feet
without reaching the hanging wall. A
large layer of tale is next to
the hanging wall, its deep
BLUSH color strongly indicating
the presence of lead, and this is also
crosscut is mainly quartZite more
The remainder of the ledge as far as
the crosscut is mainly quartzite more
or less crushed and with streaks of
tale intermingled with 1t. It is just
about such showing was expected at
that depth by the management, and
work is now suspended awaiting COM
pletion of plans for further develop
ment The crosscut to the vein is 277
feet long and the point of intersection
is about 1877 feet from the surface.
BY drifting east depth of almost 1000
feet can be gained. 1t is possible, how
ever, that instead of drifting, a shaft
may be sunk 200 feet which would
go far toward proving the value of
the vein. The vein has been pros
pected by open cuts for distance Of
5000 feet, considerable values in silver
and lead being found practically on
the surface. The property is about
mile from Mullan, on Mill creek, and
forming part of the connecting link
between the Hunter and Morning.

c. 3 R. HAS MILLING ORE
INSTALL A COMPRESSOR
FULL FACE OF ORE APPEARS TO
BE BEGINNING OF LONG
ORE SHOOT.

Sam Hammer was down from the
c. & r. the first of the week and re-
ported full face of lead ore of good
milling grade. How much more than
that shown in the drift is not known,
but the vein short distance before
the ore came in is IA feet and 1t Is
probable that the ore shoot Is that
Wide The drift is extending east
from the long crosscut and has at
tanned a depth of about 500 feet. In
an upper tunnel there Is a good show
ing of ore and the lower tunnel must
extend several hundred feet to get
under it. 1t is probable that ore in
this tunnel Is the same shoot as that
above, which indicates a great in
crease in it's length and pronounced
improvement in the grade of ore that
may reasonably be expected. On the
opposite side of the mountain and
about 1000 feet east a tunnel has ex-
posed the ledge, and while little depth
is gained, the showing is reported
most favorable for ore.
Will Put in Compressor.
Representatives of the C. & r. COM
pany have recently disposed of treas
ury stock in the east which places the
company in good financial condition.
1t is planned to put in a compressor
this summer and power will be sup
piled by the Washington Water Pow.
er company. Connection with the
power line will probably be made at
the Sunset mine, which is about q
mile from the C. & r.
The C. & r. is bounded on the north
by the Phoenix, on the east by the
Happy Day and on the south by the
Guelph and Honolulu. The Sunset lies
to the west and it seems probable that
it is on the same vein.

HYPoTHEEk.
Mill Now Being Run by New Motor
Reusina Water.

The new 50-horsepower electric mo-
tor, the installation of which has oc-
cupied recent attention at the Hypo-
theek mill, is now in operation. The
old motor has been returned to the
sawmill owned by the company. The
new motor provides an abundance of
power A sand drag has also been in
stalled. This is a device for with
drawing the taillngs from the water
as it leaves the mill the water then
flowing into a dewatering tank. fr I'M
which it is pumped back to be used
in the mill again. BY the end Of this
week new jigs will be added and a
mill for regrinding middlings will be
in operation, altogether increasing the
capacity of the mill to zoe tons per
day.

HECLA MILL CAPACITY
NOW 750 TONS DAILY
TWO SHIFTS WORKING IN LEAs.
ED FEDERAL MILL-LONG
ORE SHOOT.

Since taking a lease on the Federal
mill the Hecla Mining company has
steadily increased its output until it
is not far short of double it's former
milling capacity. When the Federal
mill was first taken over only one
shift of eight hours was run, which
was soon increased to one shift of 12
hours, the mill handling about 225
tons per day during that period. An
other increase has now been made in
the milling facilities, the Federal mill
now running two 8-hour shifts. This
means that 300 tons of ore is being put
through on the two shifts. The Hecla
mill at Gem is understood to be run
ming at full capacity of $50 tons which
combined with the Federal mill brings
the total tonnage handled daily up to
$50 tons. In addition TO this large
mill output the Hecla also makes quite
extensive shipments of crude ore.
Mine in Fine Condition.
So far as the condition of the mine
is concerned, there would be no trou-
BILE in keeping both mills running at
capacity indefinitely. 50 far as avail
able ore is concerned. The sorting
belt, however, is hardly equal to the
task and additional ore bins are re-
quired. 1t Is understood that the
management has these matters under
consideration and that it is probable
that facilities will soon be improved
have recently visited the mine, it is
learned that there is a continuous ore
shoot 1000 feet long on the 1000 level,
varying in width from feet to 25
feet with much clean shipping ore.
The same showing was developed in
the upper levels with the exception
that at certain point the ore pinch
ed out for a considerable distance,
while on the 1000 it is continuous
without a break. The east ore shoot,
which is Independent of the original
Hecla vein, the ore is said to be of
better grade than any other part of
the mine.
Hecla is now paying Is cents per
share per month and it is not likely
that this rate will be lowered. 1t is
more likely to be raised. The COM
pany aims to maintain reserve fund
Of 100000 and it is learned that this
has recently been increased to $780,
900.

FOUR TIM BERS.
Manager Reports Good Progress in the
Drift and Encouraaina Showing.

-Drift ana encouraging showing.
William Shannon, manager of the
Four Timbers company, was over from
Beaver creek last Tuesday. Since put
ting in the compressor good progress
is being made considering that only
one shift is being worked. The month
of July will show record Of 140 feet,
making the total length of the drift
about 240 feet. The ledge is about
zoo feet wide, being composed of ap-
parently four distinct fissures which
will probably unite with depth. The
south fssure is being followed, the
most prominent feature of which is a
continuous stringer about inches
wide which appears to carry about 7
or per cent zinc. The entire face is
mineralized, showing both zinc and
lead. When the drift Is extended to
$50 feet Mr.. Shannon states that the
ledge will be crosscut, when the drift
will be extended on the most favor
able showing.

Electric Power.
An electrict motor and compressor
were delivered at the Nellie mine last
week, which indicates that parties now
having the property under bond are
going to prosecute development Wig
orously. 1t is understood that the

THE DOUGLAS.
Raise About Half Way Between the
Two Main Tunnels.

Two Main Tunnels.
A raise to connect the lower tun-
mel 'on the Douglas with the level
above had been extended about half
way the first of the week and showed
three feet of shipping ore and about
an equal amount of good milling ore.
This is the second raise to connect the
two tunnels, the first one which was
made by former operators being about
200 feet nearer the portal. Drifting

Again The Miner warns the gentle

bringing the injunction to insist that
Ramsey Walker make his guarantee
cover possible suits for damages as
we'll as court and attorneys fees. The
bond is far short of being sufficient to
cover losses sustained by the city and

LUCKY CALUMET.
Showing on the independent Has an
important Bearing.

There are no new developments at
the Lucky Calumet beyond the inter-
est that has been created by the lead
strike on the Independent, which lies
to the west. This showing is about
700 feet from the Lucky Calumet end
line, and the Lucky Calumet crosscut
that is now being run is about 400
feet below. This crosscut will attain
total depth of about 1900 feet where
it is expected to intersect the vein,
and If the Independent lead shoot
proves to be permanent, the chances
are most favorable for the Lucky Cal
umet crosscut to expose large body
of lead ore. The situation is highly
interesting, for 1t may mean that lead
Is to predominant In section that has
been looked upon as the heart of the

SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR ARGUMENT
ON PAVING INJUNCTION At BOISE AUG, 7
MORGAN OBTAIN DIRECT lNFoRMA
TON AND IMMEDIATE LY DATE FOR
AN EARLE HEARING.

Readers of the Day daily will re-,
the state restrained the city council
and the paving contractors from pro-
ceeding with paving the streets, the
news was made a feature of the first
page under glaring headlines, and the
story was embellished with comments
reflecting the extreme qualification of
the editor and those for whom he
speaks over their temporary success
in stopping the people in their efforts
to improve their property and to
beautify the city That was news in
furtherance of the personal and sell
fish interests of the owners of the
paper who are financing the injunction
proceedings, which explains why it
was eagerly and conspicuously pub
lished.
But readers of the Day daily will
rot recall seeing in that publication
any reference to the visit of Justice
Morgan, of the supreme court, to this
city last week for the purpose of in
vestigating the paving situation in
person; nor will they recall seeing any
reference to the fact that Justice Nor
gan. after viewing the condition of
the streets and comforting with num-
erous citizens, arranged for hearing
argument on the injunction on August
Z, three weeks in advance of the date
originally set That was news which
is directly opposed to the personal and
selfish interests of the owners of the
paper, but of the greatest Importance
to the people of the city, which, ex-
plains why it was deliberately and
purposely suppressed.

but who has not appeared on either
occasion, will participate in the argu-
ment when the case comes on. The
council will be represented by l.. e.
Worstell, city attorney, and James A.
Wayne will appear for the Oregon

pany.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-07-27

The Miner expressed the belief last
week that the supreme court had act
ed upon the application for an order
restraining the council and contract
ors from paving the streets without
being fully advised on the subject and
had probably been misled by some of
the representations submitted. Sub
sequent events seem to have fully
confirmed this opinion Attorneys for
the city and paving company and
citizens residing in the paving district
wired the court protesting against the
late date for hearing, pointing. out
that it would prevent paving this year
whatever the final decision of the
court, and that that was the real pur-
pose the. petitioners for the in
junction were endeavoring to accom-
plish. These protests evidently con-
vinced the court that the restrain
ing order as issued would work a
great hardship and injustice on the
people of this city, and lin order to
the situation, Justice Morgan came
up last Thursday to look over the
ground in person. He viewed the
streets which had been torn up pre-
paratory to paving talked with lead
ing citizens, many of them personal
friends, and of course, was convinced
at once that to wait until the regular
term of court in Occur d'Alene as
provided in the original order, would
mean that there could be no paving
this year even if the contract was sus-
tanned in the decision and that the
streets would therefore remain in an
impa ssable condition throughout the
winter. Naturally the court would
mot knowingly impose such 4 hard
ship upon the city. Having satisfied
himself upon the necessity of an ear
!ier hearing, Justice Morgan conferred
with the attorneys on both sides Of
the case Friday morning and lesig
nateG August as the date to hear
arguments on making the injunction
Fernan' Mt. YESTERDAY message from
Justice Bulge stated that it would be
very inconvenient for him to hear the
case on that date and suggested
changing the date to August 7, which
was satisfactory to the attorneys, The
case will therefore be heard by the
full court at Boise on that date. Be-
fore leaving Justice Morgan intimat-,
ed that in view of the emergency of
the case, it was probable that an oral
opinion would be rendered as quickly |
as an agreement could be reached |
after the hearing, the written opinion
to follow later.
The prompt and effective action |
taken by Justice Morgan and the will
ingness of all members of the court |
to hear the case during their well |
earned vacation are greatly appreci-
ated by the people of Wallace, and IL
a favorable decision is rendered, which |
is confidently expected by all who |
have followed the case closely, the |
paving can be rushed to completion
before bad weather.

RELATIVE TO MARKETING
OF HENS IN TENNESSEE
Dispose Of old and Surplus Poultry
Best Time for Sales Has Proven
to be Immediately Before Easter.

(By Richard N. Crane, Division Of Elk.
tension, University of Tennessee)
Experience and observation in the
poultry market for ten years indicates
that the best time to dispose of your
surplus hens is during the three
weeks preceding Easter This is es-
pecially true of heavy fowls. These
fowls should be as fat as 1t is possi-
BILE to make them, and should be mar
keted alive. Any hens that you have
on hand, unless it is advisable to re.
tain them because of their breeding,
that have entered their third year,
should be disposed of during this time.
Usually following Easter, the fowl
market gradually weakens until 1t gets
to summer base, being several cents
a pound lower than three weeks to a
month preceding the Easter holiday.
It will usually be found more profta'
BILE for the farmer to sell his hens to
the local buyer than to ship them, pro-
vided the buyer has competition, or is
willing to pay what the market justi'
fies, leaving him legitimate profit.
II this case does not exist, our advice
to the farmer would be If he has as
many as two or three dozen fowls to
market, to get in touch with the COM
mission merchants on the various
large markets, and request them to
make him a price F. o. B. his shipping
point; he must advise them exactly
what he has, stating average weight
and breed, and when he comes to ship
to live up to the same.
Any who require further informa'
ton relative to poultry marketing
would do well to correspond with our
Market Specialist, MIR, VIM. A. Schoen-
field, Division of Extension, University
of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.
Just before Easter, uniform broiler
chickens weighing nine to twelve
pounds to the dozen sell at high
prices; in fact, for more money than
the same chickens weighing twenty
four to thirty pounds to the dozen will
bring eight weeks later. Only the
young cockerels should be sold as
broilers and the early Matched pullets
kept for early winter layers.

Results obtained In series OF ex-

Of beef that can be produced per acre,
show for seven different acres on

beef production, with 70 acres pro-
ducing the main crops and the other
30 acres devoted to silage would re-
turn an income of $4,0S3.S0 for tho 70

300 tons of silage necessary, or $500,
would make a total gross income OF
