REPORT OF COPPER KING.
RAISE AND SINK ON ORE.
EXTENSIVE PROSPECTING WITH
DIAMOND DRlLl-A FlNAN.
-..--
clAL STATEMENT.

An interesting statement covering
in detail the operations of the Copper
King Mining & Smelling company
during the past year has just been
issued by II. w. Ingalls,. secretary Of
the company. and d. X. Mcdonald.
president, The report contains much
information regarding the results of
development work on the property.
Diamond drilling to the extent Of
1000 feet has been done during the
past three months. and three holes
have apparently penetrated vein
bearing copper and silver ore, which
will now be explored by a drift. Ac-
companying the report is a notice Of
assessment Of cent and financial
statement covering the past year.
which shows the net indebtedness Of
the company to be $4.91S54.
The Statement in Full.
Our last statement to you was dat
ed September l. 1914. Since that time
we have performed a vast amount OF
King property. and increased the
company's property holdings by the
addition of three full claims and two
fractions on the west end of the or
iginal group, making a total Of IS
claims and fractions now owned by
the company in one of the most pro-
ductive lead silver belts in the world.
The ground is surrounded on all sides
by patented mining claims, some of
it held by the big producing compa-
MES of the district.
Sell Treasury Stock.
Last year your directors entered
into an arrangement with group of
Spokane men for the sale of a large
block of their treasury stock to net
the company $4,000 This sale was
consumamted and the money placed
in the treasury. Under the direction
of Mr.. r. c. Vanderford, a mining ex-
pert of wide and successful opera
lions in this district. plan of devel-
opment was outlined and followed
with very encouraging results. After
drifting 800 feet, Mr.. Vanderford in
stalled diamond drill and after
drilling 400 feet cut an ore body some
4S feet in width that showed strong
naturalization and a heavy FLOW of
water. A drift was then started to
open this ore body, and the vein was
cut with about 900 feet of work, and
exposed shoot of high grade lead
silver ore, together with an enormous
body of low grade material. The high
grade streak is about so feet long,
and will run from 2 to 4 feet in width
the sorted ore running on an average
of 80 per cent lead, 8 to 10 ounces sif-
yer and 7 to 8 per cent zinc per ton

Anaconda Plant.
The Electrolytic Zinc company of
Australia, Limited, has begun the
erection of a zine plant at Risdon
near Hobart, Australia. 1t will have
a daily capacity of 10 tons of zinc, the
works being designed with view to
an increase to a daily output of 100
tons. The plant was. erected at Ris-
don owing to the availability Of cheap
electric power. The company has
contract with the State hydro electric
department for 1000 hp. per annum,
effective January /, 1918, by which
time it is hoped that the works can be
started. Arrangements for $4,000
electric horsepower have been made
by the company. This electrolytic
reduction plant is being built in. ac-
cordance with the plans used by the
Anaconda Copper Mining company at
its Great Falls zinc works. Construc-
ton is in charge of American engi-
neers formerly in the employ Of that
company and contracts for machinery
and supplies were placed in the United
States with the exception of the cleo
trio equipment which is being built in
England on license from the British
government, and will be delivered
sooner than would have been possible

cost of the lotion plant will be about
$780, 900 since the company, in addi-
ton to the reduction plant is build

Is one crosscut which shows 80 feet
wide of quartz material averaging
about 4 per cent lead with about 2
through the high grade ore body we
extracted and sorted about half a car
load, which we have stored on the
dump. At that time it was impossi-
BILE to ship the ore on account of the
soft roads, and it was deemed advis-
able to continue exploration work, and
reserve the development of this ore
shoot until more favorable time.
The new Bunker Hill smelter at KEEL
logg Is now in operation and will
make It possible for us to secure
cheaper freight and treatment charges
than 1t would be possible to get from
outside smelters. Your directors
have therefore decided to explore this
ore body either by raising or sinking.
The raise work will probably be start
ed first, as 1t Is much the cheaper
mining A crew Of men are now en-
gagged in cutting station for this
raise. 1t Is the intention to follow the
ore body and to sort and ship the ore
as fast as 1t is taken out. We have
no means of knowing how extensive
this ore may prove to be- but we hope
to be able to produce considerable
tonnage.
Diamond Drill Work.
During the past three months we
have done about 1000 feet of diamond
drill work, exploring a large mineral
ICED zone. In three of the holes we
cut what is apparently a continuous
ore bearing fissure. In Nos. ! and 5
holes this fissure is II feet in width,
In the No. hole the vein matter as
says 3.5 per cent copper and IL
ounces silver per ton. No assay was
made of the No. hole. but it was
about the same material. Your di-
rectors have authorized the driving
of drift 1877 feet to open this new
ore body and determine it's extent
and commercial possibilities. Your
company has sufficient water avail
able at the mouth Of the tunnel for
small concentration and If this new
copper vein proves extensive a small
milling plant may be installed at the
NINE Such a plant would also be
available in working the second class
pore from. the high grade shoot.
Labor and all kinds of mine sup
plies have advanced materially, maxi
ing operating expenses more heavy
than formerly, and your directors
have found it necessary to call an
assessment to provide funds for the
work as outlined above"

euracy of fire at long range.
The explanation of this offered by
certain naval experts Is that the Ger
mans are so pressed for time in the
construction of torpedoes that they
can no longer maintain their speed
and their accuracy Of fire. 1t Is esti-
mated that their torpedo has lost
nearly 10 knots in speed from the
standard used at the outset of the
war.
1t takes normally six months to
construct a torpedo and costs many
thousands dollars There is also a
chance of Germany running short of
some material essential to their man
ufacture. Whether this has occurred
Is not known, but the conclusion has
been reached that the individual Ger
man torpedo is losing it's efficiency.

LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That II Will Last Only
ssl1 5000 Years.


There is q general and widespread
notion, which the curious investigator
will find scattered throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 6,OO0 years from the
date of its creation. An inscription in
one of Martin Luther's books reddS as
follows: "Elijah, the prophet, said that
the world had existed 1000 years be-
fore the law was given from Adam to
Moses), would exist 1000 years under
the Mosaic law (from Moses to CHRISTI
and 1900 years under the Christian
dispensation, and then it would be
burned" IT..
In the Etrurian account Of the crea-
ton (by Suidas) there is similar ira
dition, "The Creator spent 6,OOO years
in creation, and 5000 more are allotted
to the earth
In the black letter edition Of Foxes
"Acts and Monuments" Q632) there Is
q whole sermon given with the 5000
year limit of the earth's duration as q
text. tsz
Some writer's contend that the six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the seventh
day" is type of the coming millen-
MUM, or Sabbath Of a thousand
years."
The psalmist says, "For thousand
years are in thy sight as yesterday"
