THE ALAMEDA CROsSCUT
WILL SOON REACH VEIN
OF GALENA INDI-
GATES LARGE ORE BODY
TUNNEL RECORD.

The Alameda is scheduled for the
next important strike. This predic-
tion is justified by reports received
from the property this week. For
the last 300 feet the tunnel has been
in a quartZite formation and the face
is now within 60 feet of where the vein
should be encountered, but of course
this may vary considerable from the
point indicated by the survey. The
latest development is the presence Of
galena impregnated in the quartzte,
and the management believes that this
is forerunner of a large ore body
to be found when the vein is reached.
The vein will be encountered at a
point about 400 feet east of the ground
in controversy between the Alameda
and Success.
Good Tunnel Record.
The Alameda crosscut which is now
approaching the vein was started last
July, just about one year ago Much
delay was experienced in getting pow
er and for three months the work was
done by hand. After power was in
stalled during much of the time only
one shift was employed, and up TO the
last 800 feet the formation was hard
GRANTEES The tunnel is GX8 feet in the
clear and thfs week it's length was 1850
feet. Considering the hard rock every
foot of the~way, the delay in getting
power, the size of the tunnel and the
small force employed most of the time,
the work accomplished during the past
year is regarded as an exceptionally
good record.

JEMISON SHIPS.
Arizona Mine Controlled by Coeur
d'AIene Men.

A carload of ore has just been ship

Chloride, Ariz., property owned by
the Caledonia Development company,
of which Charles McKinnis, of this
city, is manager, The car will aver
age about II per cent "copper" 35
ounces silver and half an ounce gold.
This ore was taken from an old stope
and from the shaft in the course Of
sinking. Since taking over the prop
erty the new company has installed
compressor and hoist and otherwise
equipped it for permanent develop
ment. The shaft is now down up
wards of 100 feet, following the foot
wall and Is encountering more or less
ore, though the main shoot Is on the
hanging wall. A drift Is also being
run to get under what is called No. l
stope. This drift lacks $50 feet of be.
ing under the stope and now has IA
inches Of good milling ore in the face.
Considerable ore was shipped from the
Jemison by former owners, much OF
it running very high in gold as well as
in copper and silver. Chloride is sit
uated in the northwestern part of
Arizona and is rapidly advancing in

Governor of Idaho
Refuses Protection
FromI. w. w. Mob

OR MANY WEEKS Goyerno,
- Moses Alexander has been chas-
i ing over the state and inciden
tally at the states expense
claiming to be devotng his energies
to rousing the war spirit of the peo-
pie and rallying them to a more ac-
tive support of government. The
sincerity OF the governor may we'll be
questioned in view of the attitude he
has taken since his arrival at Occur
d'Alene with reference to the |. w. w
raid upon the industries of north Ida
no Here is an organized band of out
laws, believed to be paid by agents
of Germany and in any event serving
the interests of the enemy with whom
our country is at war, brazenly, bold
ly and boastingly tying up the in
dustries of the country and depriving
the government of those products
which it must have and which all
loyal citizens are doing their best to
supply. Here is an opportunity for
Governor Alexander to prove his pat
riotism in a practical way by using
the authority vested in him alone to
protect the people of the state in their
lawful pursuits, How has he met the
opportunity ?
BY prating Of patriotism in the
south and giving aid and comfort to
the enemy in the north. He is told
by the . sheriffs of the counties
affected and by the men whose
business has been paralyzed by
the mob and by his own council of
defense that the ciVil authorities are
unable to give protection and secur-
ity to the people and property, to
which he replies to the sheriff to dep
utize everybody in your county, and
if that don't work then you can call
on the governor of Idaho" Then he
attempts to throw the responsibility
for the |. w. w. trouble on Spokane,
and further tries to Justify his posi-
tion by saying that no official has
asked him for federal troops
If a peaceable citizen is being chok-
ed to death by thug. the brave and
true man does not stop to fix the re-
sponsibility before rendering assist
ance, nor does he raise the technical
point as to whether the cry for help
comes through official channels. Gov
ernor Alexander knows the situation
in north Idaho. He sees business par
alyzed and the people terrorized, and
he sees the national government de-
prived of the resources which it must
have to successfully wage the war
against Germany. He sees all this
and refuses to make one move to re-
lieve the situation. He has assumed
a grave responsibility. Any hour may
witness a clash in which human lives
may be sacrificed. and for which he
alone Will be held responsible by the
people of Idaho.

last Monday in the crosscpt from
l the No, tunnel of the Hercules.
This information was received
yesterday from a reliable source. The
vein shows IL or 10 inches of good
lead ore, though not of shipping grade
As near as can be estimated the point
of intersection is about 1900 feet be-
low the bottom of the shaft, or about
1900 feet from the surface. Drifting
on the vein has been started under
contract and it is expected that the
ore shoot will widen and probably de-
velop ore similar to that disclosed in
a drift from the bottom of the SHAFT.
There it Is said the ore shoot Is from
two to three feet wide, most of 1t OF
shipping grade and carrying a high
silver value This strike, although
fully anticipated, is nevertheless of
great Importance as it possibly means
the entrance of another mine In the
list of producers at an early date. The
depth at which the strike was made,
In connection with the showing made

amount of ore above this level, while
the possibilities of deep development
below this level are immense. Ar
rangements have been effected with
the Hercules company by which the

MAMMOTH LEASE.
Carload of High Grade Ore Shipped
This Week.

Bat Verona and associates, who
have lease on the upper workings of
the old Mammoth mine, are loading a
car of ore for shipment. This ship
ment will exhaust the shoot upon
which they have been working and
from which several cars have been
shipped, The ore runs so per cent
lead and 70 ounces in silver. This is
the class of ore that made the Nam
moth famous years ago as the only
big mine in the district that had paid
for its own development from the
grass roots. 1t brought riches to all
its owners and was afterwards sold
to the Federal company and consoli-
dated with the Standard, and has con-
tinued to enrich it's owners down to
the present time. The leasers are
making a raise through which they
hope to open another rich ore shoot.

Drift. Continues in Ore--Another
Shoot of High Grade Due.
The drift on the Sherman has now
been in continuous ore for 275 feet
and the face is still in milling ore. A
few weeks ago for a distance of 40
feet or more the drift passed through
high grade lead ore, over three feet
of which was of shipping grade. Tues
day the face gave indications of an
other bunch of high grade. coming in.
1t Is estimated that 125 feet will bring
the face of the drift under the big
outcrop which shows ore on the sur
face. The ore shoot rakes to the
west and for that reason it may be ne
cessary to run little further than
that distance to catch the main ore
body. In about two months the drift
should be under the Oreano crosscut
i'm which there is a fine showing OF
ore. The outcrop of the vein is prac-
tically continuous from the point
named. west to the Tamarack end line
a distance of not less than 400 feet.

FRIEND.
Lower Crosscut Will Soon Cut the Ore
Shoot.

Shoot.
William Schierding, manager of the
Friend Mining company, was in the
city the first of the week, having just
visited the property on Beaver creek.
He reports the crosscut which will
cut the vein SO feet below the upper
tunnel now in 100 feet, leaving APP
proximately IS feet to go. In the up
per tunnel he reports the ore shoot
300 feet long and of varying width. At
one place it is IA feet wide, about half
of which is milling ore At another
point there is streak of high grade
from 6 inches to a foot wide. It's
length has not been determined. This
ore is zinc and lead in about equal
parts. The Friend also has paral-
lei vein which makes a fine showing
on the surface. After cutting the first
vein and drifting upon it, crosscut
lWill be run to the second which is ex-
pected to disclose a large body of ore.
The company contemplates putting
in a larger compressor plant upon
reaching the first vein. The property
is about a mile and half from the
end of the Beaver creek branch.

Shaft Will Have Been Sunk 400 Feet
Early in August.

During the month of June the Ma
tional shaft was sunk 102 feet in ad-

will be known as the 1400 level, 400
feet below the working tunnel level
About 20 feet remains to be sunk to
the 1900, where the vein will be cross
cut This will be 400 feet below the
former lowest workings, and there
are indications that the theory that
better ore viii be found with depth
will be fully confiraed. The rock is
not so hard and the conditions in all
respects appear to be more favorable
for ore deposits than in the upper
workings. The shaft is being sunk in
the foot wall, only a short distance
from the vein, and 1t is the plan OF
the management to crosscut when 40C
feet has been accomplished, or at a

LEGISLATURE SIGN PLEDCESTO
VOTE new STATE OF 10
NORTHERN COUNTIES
Safe Majority Both Houses of Idaho Legislature Is Claimed
Has Sufficient Valuation, Population, and
Area-Opposition Active.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 4.-Plans for the
creation of new state out of the 10
counties in northern Idaho were vir-
tually crystallized here today when
caucus was held by northern Idaho
members with those from the south
who favor the secession. 1t was decided
at this caucus to confine the boun-
daries to the panhandle and not take
In territory from either Washington or
Montana. The southern boundary of
the proposed new state, the name of
which has not as vet been selected, is
to he the present southern boundary of
Idaho county, the northern boundary
is to be Canada.
Necessary Population and Area.
The proposed new state claims a
valuation of $150,000,000. the neces-
sary population and the required area.
The measure to be introduced will call
for constitutional convention to be
held i'll some city in northern Idaho in
June of the present year to draft con-
stitution for the proposed state. The
signature of the governor is not neces-
sary, it Is claimed, to pass the reso-
luton, and only the approval of con-
gress is required. The secession bin
to 90 before that body is very similar
to a county division bill before the
Idaho house.
, Northern Idaho members seen to-
night report they will have something
to say after the measure Is introduced
Without exception they are for the
measure, their signatures having beer
attached to a pledge to support it.
In an attempt to block the secession
measure, members of the Legislature
from western and southern Idaho coun
ties are becoming very active. Tht
fact that southern Idaho will be lef
as the old state and thereby NOR,
solidly connected up politically will
the southeast does not appeal to them
