HYPOTHEEk.
Company Arranges for Extensive Dia
mond Drill Work.

Plans have been completed by the
Hypotheek company for extensive ex-
ploration work with a diamond drill
according to an announcement made
by Manager Otto A. OLSON this week
The crosscut on the 900 level having
failed to locate the north vein, efforts
will now be made to locate it with
the diamond drill on the same level
The diamond drill will also be used
on the 1900 level to prospect the
ground under drift No. l on the 100,
in which an ore shoot has been devel-
cped The main vein will also be
prospected from the 100 and 1900
levels to depth of 1900 feet, the
holes to be driven from crosscuts al
ready run and will intersect the vein
on it's dip. A hole will also be driven
south from the 1900 to cut a parallel
vein about 500 feet away which shows
a strong and favorable outcrop.
Meantime drifts are being extended
east on the 900 and 100 levels with
most satisfactory results. On the 900
the ore shoot has been proved for an
additional length of 35 feet and indi-
cations point to additional ore on the
100. The mill is runnig two. shifts

UNCLE SAM. NEEDS LEAD
SIXTH OF TOTAL OUTPUT
coEUR D'ALENE MINING CON-
PANlES WILL FURNISH 1000
TONS, OR ONE FOURTH.

Following is an extract from a letter
received by all Coeur dAlene lead pro-
ducers last week from Clinton II,
Crane, chairman of the committee on
lead appointed by the advisory COM
mission of the conucil. of national de-
tense
'The committee on lead appointed by
of national defense has agreed on be-
half of the domestic producers of lead
to furnish 5000 tons of pig lead be-
tween now and August l, 1917, to meet
the requirements of the United States
government. The price set for this
tonnage is cents a pound East st,
Louis.
"As the probable production for the
month of July will be about $4,000 tons
OF pig lead. this tonnage represents
1-6 of the total production for that
month If every producer agrees to
furnish his share of this sale, it means
that each producer will sell 1-6 of his
July production on the basis Of cents
a pound.
Are you willing to participate in
this sale ? If SO, please advise the
chairman of the committee on lead

The committee on lead is composed
of Mr.. Crane, F. w. Bradley, Edward

member of the committee, Mr.. Day
suggested a meeting of the lead pro-
ducers of this district. to discuss and
: take action on the proposal to furnish
lead to the government on the terms
named. The meeting was held last
Saturday afternoon, and the compan-
les represented We're the Bunker Hill

the output of the mines of the district
this month will be equivalent to 12,
600 tons of pig lead, or one-fourth OF
the total product of the United States
Coeur d'Alene producers will therefore
supply the government with one-sixtf

-HE SPIRIT of the nation was
faithfully reflected in the obser-
vance of the Fourth of July in
Wallace yesterday. Never per-
haps in the history of our country was
the true significance of the national
birthday been impressed SO forcibly,
nor has the Declaration of lndepend'
ence carried the depth of meaning
that it does today. After hundred
and forty years of national existence
we are again fighting for those death
less principles for which our fore
fathers fought, and we must win the
fight or submit to Prussian domina-
ton which is worse than that from
which we won our freedom in '76. The
heart of the American people is in the
war against Germany, and 1t is for
that reason that the people of Wal
lace and surrounding district assem-
bled in this city, without the usual
accompaniments to divert attention
from the real purpose of the celebra-
ton. The scenes enacted here yes
terday were enacted all over the land
| 1t was strictly an occasion for renew
al of allegiance to the flag, for re-
conservation of "our lives, our for
tunes and our sacred honor to the
support of the government In this cru
cial test of the strength of democracy
in it's final struggle with autocracy. 1t
was a splendid spectacle and every
citizen is a better American for hav-
ing participated in 1t.

sition to define the attitude of the
company on any proposal to bond or
sell the property 1t has been known
for some time that more than one
party having abundant financial re-
sources have given consideration to
the Square Deal, and 1t Is probable
that negotiations will soon be taken UP
now that the company has agreed up

The flag raising was an impressive
scene. As the beautiful ensign, "in
full glory reflected" slowly ascended
to the mast head, the double quartet
rendered the national anthem while
the great assemblage stood at atten-
tion with uncovered heads AS part
of the flag ceremony, Rev. G. III. Veazie
paid brief tribute to the national
banner, its origin, meaning, and its
significance to every loyal citizen. He
gave his remarks a local application
and called upon the people to guard

Proposed Terms.

The Square Deal company is capi-
talized for 100000 shares, Of which
about 175,000 are in the treasury. 1t
was agreed to offer the treasury stock
at 10 cents per share in the event that
a definite proposition is presented, the
total amount received to be expended
in the development of the property. 1t
was further agreed that enough private
stock would be turned over to give
the purchaser control, the price of pri-
vate stock being placed at 20 cents
per share, to be paid in installments
at periods to be agreed upon. No deal
on the property was consummated or
even directly considered, but it is pro-
bable that proposition will be made
and the company is now in position to
act upon it without the delay of cal

Looks Like Big Ore Body.

The Square Deal group Is situated on
the north side of the South Fork, about
half way between Wallace and Null
Ian. 1t consists of two crosscut tun-
nels, both of which have disclosed
some ore. In the upper tunnel masses
of crystalized lead have been found.
In the lower tunnel, 800 feet below,
the tunnel has crossed a great miner
allied zone, in the numerous crevices
of which is deposited much crystal
| lized lead. A diabase dixie marks the
northern boundary of this zone. along
which there is considerable galena.
The appearance of this ore together
with the extensive crystalline deposits,
give strong evidence of larger body
Of lead at further depth.
There Is another vein, parallel to
this one, which was crossed by the
lower tunnel about 100 feet from the
portal, which justifies exploration.
