rany's dredging property on Prichard

10000 cubic yards developed, con-

This statement fully confirms the
belief that has prevailed that the eX-
tensive prospecting Of the Prichard
creek ground last year was done by
representatives of the Guggenheim in
terests, and the figures given above
from the annual report of the Yukon
company are no doubt based on the
results of the prospecting done last
year. From this it Is reasonable to
assume that actual dredging opera
tons will begin this summer and be
carried on energetically and on a large
scale characteristic of that great or
ganization. That the returns from the
ground will be largely in excess of
this preliminary estimate is the opin-
ion of all who are familiar with the

MlSSOULA COPPER.
Engineers Report May Lead to the
Building OF a Mill.

AT recent meeting of the directors
of the Missoula Copper Mining COM
pany A. Mcleod, of Mullan, was elect
ed president of the company to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Henry Billberg, and G. l.. Herrick,
manager OF the Hunter mine, was
added to the board of directors. Lit
tie work has been done on the COM

of the option held by Leo Greenough.
Development has exposed a large
body of low grade copper ore and it
is the purpose of the directors to
equip the property for production If
an examination soon to be made JUS
titles it. An assessment of three mills
was levied which will provide funds
for certain preliminary work and pay
for an engineers report which will
guide the directors in formulating fu-
ture plans. If the condition of the
property justifies 1t, 1t is proposed to
build mill Of 100 tons capacity dur

SUCCESS RESTRAINED.
Must Not Extract Ore Under Cardiff
Claim Pending Appeal.

Under date of March 2S, Judge
Woods, upon application of the Ala
media Mining company, issued an or
der restraining the Success Mining
company from removing ore from the
ground under the Cardiff mining
claim, this being the ground involved
in the litigation between the two
companies. In the lower court it was
held that the Success company had
trespassed upon Alameda ground and
a judgment was rendered awarding
damages covering the value of the
ore wrongfully extracted. On appeal
to the state supreme court the find
ings of the district court were re-
versed and it was held that the Sue
cess company was entitled . to mine
the ore in controversy under the law
of eXtralateral rights. From this de-
cision of the state supreme court the
Alameda company has taken an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court, and the restraining order now
issued by Judge Woods is made pend
ing the decision of the federal court
II Is not believed that the restrain
ing order affects the ore body that
has recently been opened on the 1900
lvel, but owing to the absence of Man.

on this point is not obtainable.

NORTH STAR-HAlLEY.
Clearing Up Wreckage Of Disastrous
Snowslde-Mina Resunnes.


e. Percy Smith, formerly assistant
manager of the Federal Mining &
Smelling company, and now manager
of the Federal's North Star mine near
Haley makes the following state
ment through the last issue of the
HALEY News Miner:
"We are cutting down the crew at
the mill to 28 men, and increasing the
crew at the mine to 30 men. We in
tend to do considerable development
work in the mine until such time as
the mill is in shape to resume the re-
duction Of ores. The work at the mill
at the present time consists of finish
ing up construction work.
There has been some talk about
town in regard to the company giving
preference to outside men. We will
give preference to. the old men in the
work of clearing up and preparing to
resume operations. We prefer to en-
ploy local men.
Work in the mine, which has been
suspended since the snowslide acci-
dent, was resumed this "wednesday
morning. Foreman Thomas Jay, who
was injured in the slide, Is now much
improved, and will go to the mine in a
day or two and take up his duties as
heretofore"

BY DOUGLAS
WILL Be PAID ON MAY,1
COMPANY cONTiN-
UES OPERATION UNDER
lEASE-ORE.

| meeting of the directors of the
Douglas Mining company was held
last Monday evening to discuss the
affairs of the company and particu-
larly the failure of the Anaconda
company to make the payment due
under it's bond on March 16 which re-
suited in the forfeiture of the bond.
The following directors were present
Herman ]. Rossi, H. e. Howes, Angus
Sutherland, H. C. Adami, j. w. Tabor
and d. Gay Stivers of Butte the last
named being attorney for the Ana
conda company. The only director
absent was F. f. Johnson of Boise
BY the action of the directors the
position taken by the Anaconda COM
pany that the bond was Independent
of the lease and therefore could be
surrendered without affecting the
lease was conceded, the directors. ex-
pressing themselves satisfied to per-
init the company to continue in the
exercise of the lease.
].
The books of the company showed
that the Douglas company had on
hand $4,000, $1,000 of which having
been received as payment when the
lease and bond was given and the bal
ance from royalties on ore shipments.
1t was estimated that the royalties for
March shipments will be approxi-
mately the same as February, which
would make in round figures $4,000
available for dividends. The books of
the company show that there are
S52, 500 shares of stock outstanding,
and dividend of / cent per share
was authorized payable on May l to
stockholders of record on April IA. 1t
was also decided to continue the pay
ment of dividends as frequently as
possible, dependent of course upon the
extent of ore shipments by the lessee
Outlook Good for Douglas.
At the time the Anaconda company
took hold of the Douglas it was esti-
mated that there was $4,000 tons of
ore practically in sight. A recent es-
innate places the amount at 100000
tons, and the work now going on in
the shaft will undoubtedly increase
this amount Shipments may drop off
luring this month and next on account
Of the bad condition of the road, but
hey will recover when conditions are
again favorable. There is strong
that railroad will be
Quilt up Pine creek this summer,
which would give great impetus to
shipments from the Douglas and all
)ther Pine creek mines. The two
evels that are being run from the
shaft are both reported in ore, and II
S only reasonable to assume that
'urther depth will find the ore shoot
as has been the rule with |
I'll other mines of the district. Under |
hese circumstances the outlook for |
he Douglas is decidedly bright.
A resolution was adopted by the di- |
ectors authorizing the officers of the !
to grant right of way con-
'ession for the construction of rail-
Dad over the cOmpany's ground.

COPPER KING COMPANY
REPORT OF SECRETARY
SPECIAL MEETING TO CONSIDER
INCREASING CAPITAL
STOCK.

A special meeting of stockholders o
the Copper King Mining & Smeltin,
company will be held at Mullan OF
April 20 for the purpose of taking ac.
tion on the proposition to increase the
capita, stock of the company. The
company is now capitalized for 1900.
600 shares of the par value of 81
each and it is proposed to increase
this to 100000 shares. The addition
of 500, 900 shares to the treasury of
the company will enable 1t to con-
tinue development without imposing
a burden upon the stockholders. as no
difficulty is anticipated in finding a
market for the stock at figure that
will meet all requirements for de-
velopment purposes Recent work
has disclosed such a favorable show
ing that stockholders will generally
recognize the importance of contin-
uing without interruption, and it is
rot likely that there will be any op-
position to increasing the capita,
stock.
Present Condition of Property.
A circular letter from Secretary
II. w. Ingalls, under date of March 81
says:
your property has been operated
continuously since May, 1916, and a
large amount Of new development
work accomplished, and the vein sys-
tenn opened at great depth.
"Where the drift encountered the
vein we have opened promising
shoot of high grade galena ore about
so feet in length on this level, and
from to 6 feet wide. In driving
through this ore we extracted about
20 tons of high grade. which after

AT present 1t Is impossible to han

and consequent poor road conditions.
AS soon as these conditions improve,
several trial cars Of this ore will be
shipped if favorable freight and treat
ment rates can be secured.
"Our present development Is being
confined to the vein system in drift.

far we have met with very favorable
results. The vein shows width of
over so feet, and all of this material
is highly mneralized.

POISON GAS NOT CHLORINE
Substance Alone Could Never Cause
Agony and Internal Injuries Re-
ported From France.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Chlorine is not the
substance from which poison gases is
made on the European battlefronts, ac-
cOrding to a paper read before the
American Electrochemical society con-
vention by William D. Marshall, del
egate.
During the first year of the war"
Mr.. Marshal said, reports from
abroad frequently reached this side
to the effect that chlorine was used
in the form of gas attacks, releasing
it from cylinders, or containers,
against the position of the enemy. My
own experience with chlorine, as well
as what I have heard from others on
the subject, leads me to believe that it
alone could never have caused such
agony and internal injuries as were de-
scribed, because in my practice | have
never seen nor heard of anybody per-
manently injured by inhaling chlorine,
although the temporary inconvenience
and pain caused by it seemed at times
rather serious"
: Rather than perform a deadly mis-
sion Mr. Marshall said that chlorine
had lent itself for war purposes in
sanitation, sterilization of wounds, etc.

Knitting.

Hear the shining needles click,
Hear them click.
What a world of comfort through the
many loops they pick!
Everyone is knitting, knitting,
Every moment she can spare,
While our maidens fair are sitting,
They are knitting everywhere.
How they work, work, work,
In the car and in the kirk,
For the boys out in the field
To our hearts have all appealed.
So the nimble fingers fashion
Scarfs and sweaters with compassion.
Love does it.
Make the amber needles fly,
Help our boys keep warm and dry
While they're fighting in the trench,
The deadly pit.
Keep at work, work, work,
Do not tire, do not shirk;
Learn to knit, do your bit,
LOYAL hands are doing it,
Let us knit, knit, knit, knit knit, knit
knit,
When the war is over, then tbs time
to quit.
