CLEAR GRIT.
Gasoline Compressor Soon to Be In.
stalled-Drift on Under Contract.

w. H. Matchette, one of the contrac-
tors on the Clear Grit, was in the city
few days ago. He states that the
gasoline compressor which is to be in
stalled by the company has not yet ar
rived, and little has been done toward
extending the drift under the contract
awarded him and his partner. The
compressor is expected very soon. A
crosscut from the main tunnel has cut
the vein, which shows a little galena
and most favorable indications of an
ore shoot at no great distance. 1t has
been definitely determined that the
supposed vein which was drifted upon
after driving long crosscut is a
fault and that the true vein is exposed
near the portal of the tunnel. 1t now
has been crosscut from the main adn
and will be explored by drift under
contract. The Clear Grit is near the
wagon road, about half way between
Delta and the North Fork. H.

Cedar Creek.

On November 20 the directors of the
Cedar Creek Mining and Develop
ment company levied an assessment of
mills. A circular letter to the stock
holders states that there is now >suf-
ficient water to keep one shift work
ing. There is about Is inches of good
milling ore in the face of the drift
under the shaft, and a crosscut that
is being run is expected to develop a
larger showing. Although the trans
mission line of the Washington Water
Power company passes near. the com
pressor the letter states that the COM
pany does not regard it advisable to
utilize it at this time.

Daily Quotations Of Silver, Lead, Zinc and Copper
Which Are the Actual Basis Of Settlement

and are generally determined from re-
ports made by producers and selling
agencies. Both the New York and st.
Louis prices Of lead are given, the DIFF
ference being due mainly to the differ
ence in freight between the two points.
The quotations for spelter are for
prime western brands. To arrive at
the New York price add II cents per
100 pounds to the st. Louis price.

PHOSPHATE DEPOSITS.
Mine Inspector Requested to Write a
Detailed Description.

Robert N. Bell, state mine inspector,
has repeatedly during the past few
years pointed to the phosphate deposits
of southeastern Idaho as resource
that would eventually prove to be one
of the states greatest assets. Through
him the value of the deposit has been
brought to public attention throughout
the country. and recently he received
request from the Chemical Publish
ing company, of Eaton, Pa, to write a
detailed description Of the phosphate
beds and the possibility Of their de-
velopment on a commercial scale.

HIGH GRADE SILVER.
Shaft on Property Near Delta Shows
Six Inches of Rich Ore.

"A group of claims short distance
below Delta. near the North Fork road
is under bond to w. H. Machette and
eastern associates. A shaft has been
sunk 40 feet on the vein, which shows
about six inches of gray copper and
some lead. At present metal prices
MIR. Machette says the average value
of the ore is about $S5 per ton, and
samples run over 300 ounces in silver.
Work has now been suspended on the
property, owing to the fact that the
eastern man who was responsible for
the financial end of the enterprise has
Joined the colors and Is now in France.
The property is owned by John Thiard,
the we'll known pioneer placer miner
of Trail creek, where he still resides.

Mining Development.
Since the last report was made the
big accompaniment shaft has beer
completed to the No. 8 level, and a
erosscut is being run from this leve
to intersect the Interstate vein. As
soon as this work is completed the sde.
velopment and mining of the ore from
this level will be carried on vigorously
The sinking of the shaft will be con-
tlnued to the No. 8 level, further dis
lance of 22j feet. Good progress is be-
ing made with the crosscut which we
are driving from the Interstate work
ings, through the Silver State prop
erty and into the Nipsic property ia
open up the ore body indicated ON the
upper levels of the Nipsic mine.
Flotation Plant.
During the quarter the company
has built a flotation annex to the pres
ent mill. which win be completed early
Ill the coming quarter. 1t is expected
that this flotation unit will enhance
our recovery very materially, and an
consequence increase our shipments
This addition will cost approximately
100000.

Proposed installation of electric-drive

defended today before the Senate naval

Taylor, chief of construction, of the
Navy Department. Although England
is reported to be installing gear drive
in all warships, the Navy Department
experts said that American naval
pioneering with the electric propulsion
indicates vast superiority
The departmental chief appeared with
Editor J. Barnard Walker of the Scien-
tfic American. the latter having written
Chairman Til1man regarding alleged SUI
periority of the gear propulsion.
Admiral Taylor. while declining to
make public the exact nature of new
construction devices for defense of the
battle cruisers against submarine at
tack. said many novel departures"
adopted in the plans.
One departure, he said, was to install
the cruisers boilers partly above and
partially below the ships water lines, so
that if lower boilers are disabled by a
submarine attack the cruiser would still
have left power from the upper boilers to
give speed of thirty knots. or vice versa.
Extension of cruising radius also by de-
creased fuel necessities with electric pro-
pulsion were detailed.
