Former WaShburnite Dies
at CaSS Lake
Held Many Positions Of
Trust While Resident
of This City.

burnite and perhaps one of the
best known men in Northern
Wisconsin or Minnesota, died at
Cass Lake on Saturday after
noon of last week after a long
illness with chronic nephritis.
The following article taken from
the Duluth News-Tribune of
Sunday gives an account of the
life of the former Washburn
man. 1t is as follows:
Cass Lake, March 3. Captain
William O'Neil, civil war veteran
and former member Of the Wis
consin legislature, elected to
that body when he lived at
Washburn-of which he was
once mayor died here at 2 o.
clock this afternoon after long
illness from chronic nephritis.
Born in Columbia county, Wis.
Sept. 20, 1848, he left home when
13 years old to enlist with the
Thirteenth United States regu-
lars at Madison. In his patriotic
ferver he failed to give the re-
cruiting officers his correct age.
He spent the first year of the
war in camp at St. Louis, after
ward becomming i'll, which
caused him to be sent home.
Recovering, he joined the
Twentieth volunteer infantry
company at Portage.
With this company he passed
three years of the war. He
took part in the battles of Prairie
Grove and Vicksburg. He was
with the expeditions that had
the capture of Yazoo City and
Atchalafas as their object.
While on Garrison duty at
Brownsville, Texas, he took part
in the invasion of Mexico, under
taken by Colonel Bertram to
protect the American consul and
assist in removing American
citizens and property. He
fought in number of other i'm
portant battles.
Mustered out July 80, 1865, he
was still a mere boy. Drifted
about, he was engaged in vari-
Gus occupations, principally log
ging and numbering in northern
Wisconsin.
In 1880 at Chippewa Falls, he
married Miss Mary Judge of
Sharon, Wis.,, and then moved to
Washburn, where he engaged in
the merchantile business. He
was elected mayor and served as
assemblyman in 1891, 1892 and
1896. In 1901 he went to the
senate. He was captain of Com
pany K. organized at Washburn
for service in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. In 1903 he accepted
the position as superintendent
of logging at Cass Lake, which
he held until his death.
Under his supervision over
,25O, 100000 feet of timber, was
cut, the Indians receiving ap-
proximately 100000. The
records of the Cass Lake office
show expenses were but Al per
cent of receipts.
Funeral services will be held
here Monday afternoon at ST.
Peters Episcopal church. The
body will be taken Tuesday
morning to Sharon, Wis, for
burial beside that of his wife,
who died two years ago.

PRODUCTION
SHOWS INCREASE
OUTPUT OF AMERICAN MINES
HAS BEEtN MAKING
GROWTH

The United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, has
undertaken a midyear canvass of
lead production, the results of
which have just been tabulated by
C. e. ~Siebentha!. For convenience
of comparison half the correspond
ing quantities for the II months of
output of domestic d~esilverized
lead, excluding desilvered soft lead
for the first six months of 1917,
was 152,231 short tons (15S,235),
the output of domestic soft lead, in
Guiding de~silverized soft lead, was
124,292 tons (117,S79) and the
output of lead produced from for
eign ores and bullion vas 1850
tons (9,453).
In view of the scarcity of lead.
the increase IN lead of foreign ORR
gin is very encouraging. The
greater part came from Mexico.
According to the records of the
Bureau of Domestic and Foreign
Commerce, the total lead import
ed in the first six months of 1917
was 30,620 IONS G7,665) of which
22,507 tons came from Mexico d.
099), and 1869 tons came from
Canada (3,153).
The exports of domestic lead
amounted to 29,241 tons (50,2S3)
and of foreign lead 6,066 tons a.
940). The lead used in articles ex-
ported with benefit of drawback
was 1870 tons (2,585). Thus the
total exports of lead were 3S,577
tons (~57,S0S). Disregarding
stocks, the apparent consumption
a. lead in this country in the six
months was 26S,952 IONS (23) 50
ESD.
The production of new antimoE-
ial lead was 1922 tons E2,019).
ard of secondary antimonial lead
1859 tons (2.O65). The output of
secondary pig lead by regular ore
smelters was 1878 tons (5,54S).
The average outside spot price of
lead during the six months period
was 80 cents a pound as against
SO cents in 1916.

DITION FOR LABOR DAY
RACES

The horses that will compete in
the two-days race met, in connec-
ticn with the Labor Day ceiebra-
ticn, we're given a try-out yesterday
at the ~racetrack. From the show
ing made by the several horses the
contest for honors gives promise
CT being very keen.
The showers of Saturday were
very timely, sufficient to lay the
dust and put the track in first class
shape. in the opinion of several
l,orsemen, track records that have
remained %unbeaten for a long time
are in the balance.
The superintendent of the track,
Gus Williams, now has a large force
of men in addition to several teams,
cleaning the track and all the build
ing preparatory for the opening of
the two-day meet, Saturday, Sep
TENDER L. 1t is hoped to have the
track in better shape than it has
eve been at any meet heretofore.
Several horsemen, accompanying
their horses. arrived Saturday AID
Sunday from Cheyenne, Wyo. The
new additions to the large string
already at the track, are a we'll
balanced string of thoroughbreds.
George Wingfield has accepted
the Labor day celebration commit

COPPER ORE IN
ADELAIDE MINE
PROPERTY WORKED BY SCOT.
TISH SYNDICATE NOW
LOOKS BETTER

The Y%erington Mountain Copper
company, which is operating the old
Adelaide mine, situated about IA
miles south of Golconda, Humboldt
county, Nevada, is continuing its
shipments from the property at the
rate of about 200 tons per month.
Production has been going on from
ington Mountain management having
developed bodies of ore that were
overlooked by the original owners
This has resulted in the shipment
of about so tons weekly, or 200
tons per month, to the shelters,
with which the company has a con-
tract.
The physical conditions at the
Adelaide mine are becoming better
with each weeks work, according to
the reports of Superintendent Taylor,
which are regularly received at the
Tonopah office of the company.
On the main vertical shaft ot the
mine the work during late weeks
has been done on the 175-foot level.
Following out the theories of the
Yerington Mountain management,
cross-cuts have been sent out from
the shaft at various levels, and the
latest important development has
been in the cutting of the vein on
the 175-foot level, which has disclos-
ed a width of Is feet. The ship
ments have averaged five per cen
cope with attendant values in gold
and silver, and the new disclosure
is practically certain to develop
backs that will demonstrate extraor-
binary additions to the blocked-out
orebodies that have been proven up
to date.
Another compressor is now being
installed at the property to facili-
tate and speed up the development
work, and as soon as it is in COM
mission the management intends to
unwater the shaft from the 200 level
down to the 800 level.
1t has become apparent through

A. v. L., Kansas City, Mo.-The
northern part of the Goldfield dis
trict is regarded as still holding
important possibilities and is now
the scene of much activity, which
is being conducted on a substantial,
and minerlike scale. Properties in
that part of the district that are
now operating and that are con-
sidered valuable include the Great
Bend. Sandstorm-Kendall and
Cracker Jack. The Sandstone, far
thest west, was the first producer
of rich ore in the Goldfield district
and made a production mounting
into the millions. The Cracker
Jack is now undergoing development
of a kind calculated to produce the
best results and has exposed good
ore on both it's main levels, while
the Great Bend has lately been
making the second most valuable
production of any Goldfield mine
and promises a large output of
highgrade ore. There are many
other properties of excellent pro-
mine in that part of the district and
1t is probable that some of these
will be operated on a business-like
scale at some time in the future.

by the state board of pardons for
unusual reasons, both connected
with the war. Mike Forti, who
some months ago was sent from
Goldfield for burglary, was parol-

ian army, in which he had served
for eight years before coming to
fthis country. A. G. Crane was
paroled on advice of S. H. Day, a
consulting chemist of the bureau

is said that his method has been
pronounced a success and that it
