Says PacInsts Should Not BE Allowed
to Use Convention Hall.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
I think It a disgrace that those
pacifists should be permitted to use
the armory or drill room of our citi-
zen soldiery to defeat the will OF
mostly the entire nation and also the
will of the President. That stunt
should be halted. Convention Hail
should also be forbidden them.

JACK WAITE SHIPMENTS
OVER 300 TONS MONTHLY
COMPANY AccUMULATING SUR
PLUG WHICH WILL PAY 4,
FOR BUILDING MILL.
THE EXPECTED action by the
American Smelling & Refining
company to restrain the Bunker

The embargo placed on ore ship
ments by the International Smelter at
Tooele, Utah, still prevents regular
shipments from the Jack Waite mine
but even with this annoying condition
the company is sending out an average
of 800 tons per month, and the mine
is in position to largely increase this
rate under normal shipping conditions
The ore. shipped by the Jack Waite
company averages SO per cent lead,
while the silver value Is quite low. 1t
will be seen from this that at the pre-
sent price of lead, the company is
earning large profit There are about
Is men on the payroll at the mine and
four teams are engaged hauling ore to
the railroad. Under these conditions
it is assumed that the company is ac-
cumulating "a substantial surplus
which will enable it to erect mill
and pay for it out of the earnings.
Mill Must Wait.
The plans of the company contem-
plated the construction of mill OF
probably 100 tons capacity this season,
but unavoidable conditions combined
to prevent this until it is now regarded
too late to undertake it's construction
this season, as weather conditions
would probably be too bad to permit
working to advantage Doring the
winter snowslides obstructed the road
and stopped all shipments for long
period, and these were followed by
washouts in the spring which again
tied up shipments. About the time
this trouble was overcome a strike at
the smelter shut down the plant and
shipments were again blocked and
have not yet been restored to a nor
nal basis. Under these circumstances
it is not believed that the company
will undertake building the mill until
spring, but in the meantime shipments
will enable the company to increase It's
surplus and place 1t in good position
to- push the enterprise through when
the time comes. The mine is reported
in good condition, large bodies of ore
being developed on the upper and in
termediate levels.

CITIZENS FIGHT FIRE AND
PREVENT IT SPREADING
SITUATION FOR A TIME WAS SER.
iOUS-SENSATiONAL RE-
PORTS UNWARRANTED.

| A fire started at point just above
the Northern Pacific high line leading
to the Hercules mill yesterday after
noon which rapidly climbed to the
top of the hill Immediately north of
town and for several hours threaten
ed to extend up and across Nine Mile
canyon and to Canyon creek and also
placed the city in danger. Fortunate
ly there was little wind and by 500
o'clock in the evening the flames
were subdued and well under control.
Most Of the fire fighters withdrew
about that time, few remaining on
guard until about II o'clock. 1t is
presumed that the fire was started by
a spark from Northern Pacific loco
motive. Employees from the Northern
Pacific went at once to extinguish the
flames and believed they had accom-
plished it. but little later the flames
burst out again and quickly passed
beyond their control. Il. C. Pulaski,
of the forest service and an experience
soon after the fire was discovered and
assumed general directions. He en-
ployed as many men as he could get
on behalf of the Northern Pacific,
while many citizens OF Wallace, in
cluding the fire department, soldiers
and employees Of the O.-W. r. & ~,
rendered assistance. Men also came
from the Hercules mine and mill, the
Morning, Green Cleveland and
Hecla. Altogether there were preb.
ably 800 men engaged in resisting the
fire.
Attitude Of tho Railroad Company.
Men who were quoted in the Day
daily as advocating calling mass
meeting to condemn the attitude Of
the Northern Pacific with reference to
the fire deny that they made any such
demand. AS a matter Of fact the Nor
thern Pacific company seems to have
sent out all available employees to fight
the fire. 1t is also learned that the
company has standing arrangements
with the forest service to employ all
men necessary to fight any fire that
occurs along its right of way and
draw on the company for pay. This
was done yesterday, about Is men be-
ing so employed, all that could be Sc
cured.

Judge Woods Dis
solves Injunction
Dance Hall Case
THE POWER of the city council
to pass and enforce an ordin-
ance fixing q Iicensa to ha mid

"HE POWER of the city council
to pass and enforce an ordin-
ance fixing a license to be paid
by persons conducting dance
hall or other amusement resort in
tents or open air was fully sustained
by Judge Woods in a decision render
ed last Tuesday afternoon. A few
weeks ago the council passed an or
dinance requiring such resorts to pay
license of 500 per week, where
upon the proprietor of a certain tent
dance hall secured temporary re-
straining order from Judge Woods
prohibiting the council from enforcing
the ordinance until the issue could be
heard on Its merits. The hearing was
held last Tuesday afternoon. the
plaintiff being represented by r. Il.
Mcfarland and C. Fl. Craig and the
council by City Attorney L. f.. Wor-
stell and w. Fl. Hanson After hear.
Ing the argument Judge Woods order
ed the injunction dissolved In doing
so he stated that the council had un-
questioned power to regulate business
and place tax upon it to raise rev.
enue. This power also included the
right to classify and draw distinction
between business enterprises con-
Quoted in tents and temporary struc-
lures and those maintained in per-
manent buildings. 1t is not the pol
Icy Of the courts, said the Judge, to
interfere with legislative bodies In the
exercise of rights of this kind unless
a clear violation of the law Is shown,
and that 1t was not the province of
the courts to inquire into the motives
back of legislation OF this kind. The
court also took occasion to refer to the
inconsistency of the two complaints
filed by plaintiff. In the first COM
plalnt he stated that the daily receipts
of his resort amounted to $75 per day
and his investment was placed at $500, |
In his second complaint he alleged
that the enforcement of the ordinance
would amount to contlscation of his
business and property. The court |
was Of the opinion that business
that was taking In SIS a day on an
investment of $40O should experience
no difficulty in paying the license tax
demanded in the ordinance passed by
the council.

A. S. R. Company
Would Enjoin the
Bunker Hill Co.

ITHE EXPECTED action by the
| American Smelling & Refining
company to restrain the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan Mining & Con-
| lcentrating company from smelling its
| own ores was started in the federal
court at Portland last Tuesday, when
application was made for such an or
der. 1t is alleged in the complaint
that the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany is under contract to ship all the
ores from the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine to the smelters of the plaintiff
company; that this contract is for a
period of rs years and that 1t has 12
years yet to run. The Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company has recently COM
pleted a smelling and refining plant
at Kellogg at cost of upwards of ST.
100000 for the purpose of treating it's
own ores and those of other leads
yer mines of the district. When this
q eat enterprise was first announced
|: was generally predicted that the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany would contest the right of the
Bunker Hill company to smelt its own
ores during the life of the contract,
and the proceedings started in Port
land Tuesday is simply case of the
expected happening. That the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan company went
thoroughly into the legal phases of the
case and arrived at the. conclusion
that the contract was not binding in
the event that the company was pre-
pared to treat its own product, does
not admit of doubt otherwise it is
not reasonable to believe that this
great sum would have been invested
in the smelling plant. According. to
common report, the Bunker Hill con-
applies only to ore that is not less
than 80 per cent lead nor over 70 per
cent and it is pointed out that the
Bunker Hill company can easily make |
It's product above or below those linn
tations and thus be free to handle its
own ore. The case will be one of alb !
,orbing interest in the mining world |
IN response to an inquiry regarding |
he suit, Stanly A. Easton, manager of
he Bunker Hill company, declined to |
discuss it until he had seen the pap
srs, but stated that his company was
Wholly within it's rights and had no
ear of the results Of the action.
