ITO the Citizens of Wallace
II wish to thank the citizens

and support elected the Peoples Tic

fees at the last municipal election.
The honor conferred upon us is
one that is greatly appreciated. AL

a great many people look upon party
platforms and pledges before elections
with suspicion and only as vote get

should be no doubt as to its fulfill

plain, | will assure the people still
further on the subject.
Importance of Paving.
The matter of improvements will be
considered from every viewpoint by
the coming administration, and every
improvement of a good substantial ma
ture will be accomplished. AT the
present time our country is involved in
d world wide war WHICH has produe-
ed a condition of affairs that should
be and will be considered with the
greatest care. The effect will be felt
by not only the nation, but by our
community as well, and all
of public funds should be
made accordingly. They should be
made in consistent and conservative
way and where there is some real pur-
pose for same from practical stand

"Our city is under contract at the

months this work will be finished.

STRIKE ON CEDAR CREEK

over yesterday by William
Becker, secretary of the company,
who has been at the property for the
past week or ten days. A few weeks
ago when work was resumed an
nOuncement was made that about 16
inches of ore had been exposed in a
lead that had been cut prior to the
shutdown and which was supposed to
be parallel to the main vein. Work
on this vein, however, and also the
extension of the crosscut into the
granite formation has convinced the
management of the company that this
Is the main vein. When Mr. Becker

face showed between and feet of
good milling ore, mostly lead, but
some zinc. the latter of which seeming
to decrease as the drift extends east
Makes Mine Of Cedar Creek.
The striking Of this ore AMI it's To-
cation with reference to the upper
workings seems to remove all doubt
as to the future of Cedar Creek. The
ore is 500 feet west of the shaft and
about 1870 feet below the bottom. The
drift is running toward the shaft, or
rather to a point under the shaft.
Tunnel No. 2. from which the shaft is
sunk, there is continuous ore in vary
ing quantity for about 500 feet. The
shaft is sunk on ore to a depth of over
100 feet, from the bottom of which
considerable drifting has been done
also in ore. No. tunnel is probably
closes ore for between 400 and 500
feet. 1t will thus be seen that the
strike proves a continuous ore shoot
to depth of 700 feet Independent of
the ore that may be above No. 1. The
development of the ore on the lowest
level or No. will no doubt soon
make available a large amount of
milling ore which will make the con-
struction of a mill the next big move
in the advancement of the property
Electric Power Soon Available.
There will be no more shutting
down on account of failure Of power,
as was the case last winter A letter
to the Cedar Creek company from M.

states that the power line that is now
to be extended to Murray will pass
down Cedar creek and invites repre-
sentative Of the Cedar Creek and 9TH

that the power company will be pre-.
pared. to deliver 5000 morse power
along Pritchard creek, which indicates
that it expects considerable other bus

who gave the dance for the ben

week, was $511.50, which amount was
turned over to the treasurer of the Or

achievement on the part of the young
ladies, and 1t should be an inspiration
to others to give financial assistance
to this most worthy and patriotic
cause. For instance, the Red Cross

unit of $50 beds, with all accessories,
during the year, which means that
about $4,000 must be raised. A circu-

SUCCESS.

Ore on 1900 Level Has Been Explored
for 100 Feet.
On the 1900 level of the Success the
ore shoot has been drifted upon for
100 feet, showing practically TIE same
character that has been developed on
the 1400. The shoot on the 1400 is 100
feet long, but it is expected to be
longer on the 1900, as it was cut 35
feet further west. The vein has not
been crosscut to determine it's width.
The ore maintains about the same
of lead and zinc as has
usually been the rule with Success
ore. 1t was announced by the man
agement yesterday that shipments
this month would reach 1000 tons.

pirces were Silver, 49.6s4; lead,
4.673 spelter, 13.054. Although the
price Of spelter slightly decreased in
1916, silver and lead showed remark
able increases, and 1t is probable that
the increase in the value Of the min
eral product during the past year was
due chiefly to that cause rather than
to increased tonnage.
Hercules Profits.
The Hercules Mining company head
ed the list in 1916, showing net profit
Of $2,931136. This Is almost the same
figure earned in 1915 by the Interstate
Callahan, when that company was the
banner profit Garner, the actual figures
by the Hercules Is especially interest
ing at present. A few weeks ago con-
trolling owners Of the mine stated un-
der oath that the sale of an interest
on the basis of $5OOO,OOo for the en-
tire property "approximates and large
ly exceeds fair consideration for said
property" The net profit affidavit Of
the manager shows that during the
year in which the interest was sold
the company earned almost $4,000, 900.
An Omission.
Through an oversight the cost Of
betterment and repairs shown in the
report of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
