LOCATED ON NINE MILE.
WELL FINANCED COMPRESSOR
WILL, BE RUNNING IN A
VERY SHORT TIME.

: In these times when much mining
development work has been suspended
on account of the high cost Of opera
ton, and the tendency Is toward cur
tailment rather than expansion OF
mining activity, It is particularly
pleasing to record a new mining enter
prise which Is going forward regard
less Of high prices. The company re-
ferred to is the Mingo Chief Mining
company, of which John Van Dorm is
the controlling owner. The property
consists Of seven claims near the head
of the west fork of Nine Mile, lying
west of and joining the Treasure Vault.
Mr.. Van Dorm is one of the pioneer
prospectors of this district, one who
was fortunate enough to make com
Portable stake out of former holdings
and who for several years has made
his home In Spokane. The Mingo
Chief was among the early locations
in this section, and Mr.. Van Dorm has
held the ground with absolute con-
fidence that he would in time be able

To realize his expectations; at any rate
he has enlisted the capital and finding
the mine is the next step.
The first step to speedy and econom-
ical development is now being taken.
Under the direction of Robert A.
Koontz, a mining engineer of spokane.
who represents the financial interests
back of the enterprise, a compressor
is now being placed in position at the
Mingo Chief The compressor and the
electric motor were delivered at the
property last week, having been pur-
chased from w. III. Teft and associ-
ates who formerly had a lease on the
upper workings of the Big Creek mine.
In conversation with Mr. Koontz he
stated that 1t was quite task to
move the machinery from the high po
sition on Big creek, particularly the
motor, as there is no wagon to the old
workings, but it was accomplished
without mishap and in "A surprisingly
short time. The work of installing the
compressor and motor is now we'll ad-
vanced and it is expected that the
power line will be completed and the
plant in running order in week or
ten days. The plant is near the Treas
ure Vault shaft. at the portal of a tun-
mel that has been run about 300 feet.
This tunnel will be extended to the
vein, which is supposed to be, identical
with the Treasure Vault. and 1t is es-
timated that 1t will be cut in about 100
feet A shaft on the Treasure Vault
200 feet deep has disclosed good
showing of ore in the drifts. While it
is regarded probable that ore will be
found when the Mingo Chief vein Is
encountered, drifting east is expected
to develop the main ore body and
great depth will be attained.

from an old shaft which had been
sunk on deposit discovered in early
and at that time 1t was believed the
deposit was coal. 1t is very dark In
color and resembles closely the oil
shale from Watson, Utah, and carries
a high percentage of gasoline and the
residue carries high percentage of
ammonia.

comes from the treatment of the shale

ERS FOR TRAMWAY UP
START MILL SOON.

Ore from the Amazon Manhattan
will be running through the Ray-Jef-
ferson mill in about three weeks, ac-
cording to information received from
the mine Tuesday. A compressor is
being installed under the direction Of
Frank Franz, master mechanic for the
Day interests. and within few days
will be in running order. The electric
transmission line has been extended
to the plant and II is probable that
the juice has now been turned on. The
compressor is located at the portal of
No. 8 tunnel. Boarding and bunk
houses have been built and everything
is now practically in readiness for
mining operations with the exception
Of the tramway to convey the ore to
the mill. The tramway is the one for
merly used by the Snowstorm COM
pany above Mullan. The distance to
the Ray Jefferson mill is about $500
feet or a little more than half mile,
The towers are all up for the tram
way and the hanging of the cables
and buckets will proceed as rapidly as
possible.
Much Ore Exposed.
while the Amazon Manhattan was
in possession of the Interstate Gala
han company No. tunnel was ex-
tended to a. connection with the In
terstate- Callahan shaft, and it Is
stated by one who recently visited the
Amazon Manhattan that there is a
continuous shoot of ore in this tunnel
for distance of 1000 feet which av-
erages from to IL feet wide. The
ore is both zinc and lead but more of
the former. In tunnel No 2, which is
almost 800 feet above No. 3, there Is
considerable ore exposed for oyer 200
feet. AS soon as power is available ii
is proposed to connect these two lev
els by raise. This will practically
block out large body of ore. which
will be mined and milled without fur
Their delay. At the same time plans
for extensive development of the pro-
perty will be carried out.
The Amazon-M Manhattan was the
subject of the recent litigation between
Patrick BlNlxe and the Interstate Cab
lahan company, in which the supreme
court decided in favor of Burke The
Days are understood to have been
back of Burke in the litigation and are
now in control of the property, but on
what basis the ownership is divided
between them and Burke is not
known.

zone and from Porto Rico and Hawaii
and even in the far off Philippines
have been making demands for the
stamps Through these agents the
seals will be distributed to the local
and state anti tuberculosis associa-
tons and to other agencies through
which they will be put on sale.
Raise 100000.
Every effort is being made to stimu-
late the sale of the seals this year so
the 100000 fund which is the OBJ
jective will be realized. The country's
entry into the war and the consequent
revelation of the prevalence of tuber-
culosis and the dangef~ in which the
disease has placed our army has add
ed incentive to the campaign.
Every man, woman and child is be-
ing asked to triple the amount of their
Red Cross seal purchases this year. If
they bought 100 seals last year they
are being asked to buy 300 this year,
as the annual fund to be raised must
be increased from the 1916 total of ST.
100000 to s3,O00,0eO.
Half Million Workers.
Advertising circulars, post cards and
letters are being sent out to aid In the
sale of seals. Upwards of 100000
letters have been written, and
an army of fully 100000 workers, most
Of them volunteers, are busy booming
the campaign.
Few people who buy the little mes
sages of Christmas cheer realize that
more than 1900 anti tuberculosis as
sociations of the country derive their
chief support from Red Cross Christ
mas seals.

WE notice that the Demo- cratic County Central Com- mitteees in several counties are preparing to meet and select candidates for delegate to the Constitutional Convention, to be held in November. As the cleo tion for this important position will be held in June, and it will be a free-for-all race, we are of the opinion, that the most logical way for the democrats in each county to handle the matter, and get their best men in the conven- tion, is to select from the candi- dates one, or two as the case may be, to be standard bearer for the Democratic party. Unless this is done, the race in many counties will probably be between half a dozen democrats and one re- publican. The result may easily be seen. If you want the Con- vention to be made of Democrats, and every democrat should, the county central committees should immediately get busy, and select their candidates.
