TRANSPORTING TROOPS.
Tremendous Task Confronting Rail-
roads Of Country

Transportation of $500 men must
be provided to the various canton
ments that the government is building
to house the new national army. The
movement will start September 5. Be-
tween then and Sept. 9th the railroads
will complete the entrainment of 200,-
900 men, or approximately 80 per cent
of the total number scheduled to be
moved to the various training camps.
1t is expected that second move
ment of approximately 100000 men
will begin Sept, 10, continuing four
days thereafter and third move
ment of the same size on October 3.
The provost marshal general has de-
signated 1881 points throughout the
country as points Of local concentra-
ton for entertainment.
Some conception of the magnitude
of the task confronting the American
Railway association, says its bulletin,
in preparing schedules that will assure
the safe and prompt transportation Of
these armies without interfering with
regular traffic may be Cleaned from
the fact that to move merely one field
army of $4,000 men requires 1929 cars
made up into $3.50 trains with as many
and train crews.
Meanwhile. in addition to moving
$4,000 recruits for the national army
the railroads have been asked to sup
ply transportation for the 100000
of the National guard to
their training camps. This National
guard movement has already started
and will continue in increasing volume
until all have been moved.

sAB|NA MINING COMPANY
DRIFT AND CROSSCUT
NEW TUNNEL WILL
GIVE DEPTH OF 1000 FEET
ELECTRIC POWER.

e. j. Duff, manager, and E. E.
Hatch, secretary of the Sabina Mining
company, came down from the prop
erty the first of the week and will re-
main until the meeting of the stock
holders next Saturday, when the
the company to make the stock as
sessable will be acted up. Mr.. Duff
states that one shift Is being employ
ed extending the main tunnel on the
vein to get under the main outcrop,
there being about 100 feet to go. The
face shows a streak of steel galena
which looks mighty promising and on
the hanging wall side considerable
carbonate is showing up. The entire
face is more or less mineralized and
altogether looks exceedingly favor
able for an ore shoot. In driving this
tunnel q second vein was crossed ana
a crosscut is now being run from the
tunnel to explore this at further depth.
The crosscut is now in about 40 feet
and the vein is expected any day.
Electric Power.
The electric power line Of the
Washington Water Power company
which is being extended to Murray
will cross the Sabina ground and will
enable the company to install power
for the more rapid development Of the
property at the minimum expense. In
fact, the line will pass almost over
the site of the lower tunnel which will
be driven at no distant date. This
tunnel will be started on the Cedar
creek side of the hill and will give a
vertical depth Of over 1000 feet. The
present tunnel gives depth of about
$50 feet. When work is transferred
to the lower tunnel natural outlet
for the property will be at Raven, on
the North Side branch.

ST. LAWRE NCE.
LaidIaw Case Thrown Out of Court
Steady Ore Shipments.

Steady Ore Shipments.
The action brought by Andrew
Laidlaw, Incorporated, in the Spokane
court to enjoin H. M. Lancaster from
operating the st. Lawrence mine was
dismissed a few days ago, as there
was no showing side to justify the
action. A similar action was brought
in the district court Of Mineral coun-
ty, Montana, in which the st. Law
renee mine is located. In this case
the court consented to issue tenn
porary restraining order conditioned
upon filing an indemnifying bond for
$4,000 by the plaintiff, which he has
failed to do. Three 4-horse teams are
engaged in hauling ore from the st.
Lawrence to the railroad at Saltese
and from two to three carloads are
being shipped per week. Until the
recent strike the ore had been going
to the Anaconda smelter Since then
shipments have been made to the Ia
coma smelter. About 26 men are en-
ployed at the st. Lawrence.

JACK WAITE.
Regular Monthly Shipments Of 300
Tons BEING Made Regularly.

The embargo placed on shipments
from the Jack Waite by the smelter
at Tooele, Utah, has now practically
been raised and shipments are going
forward without interruption. The
company Is maintaining its regular
output of about 800 tons per month,
and at the prevailing high prices of
lead the product yields handsome
profit. Shipments average about so
per cent lead. The condition Of the
mine is reported to be the best in its
history. The company is in good fin
ancial condition and is steadily ad-
ding to its surplus. This enables the
management to develop the mine sys-
tematically and maintain the ore re-
servise well In advance Of production.

HIGHLAND: SURPRISE TO
PAY ALL INDEBTEDNESS
HAS OBTAINED A BETTER SHIP.
PING coNTRAcT-clRcU.
LAR LETTER.

A circular letter under date Of Aug
ust 81 issued by the directors Of the
Highland-Surprise Consolidated Min
ing company goes into considerable
detail in explaining the affairs of the
company, which for the first time In
its career found it necessary to levy
an assessment. 1t appears that the
company is carrying considerable
debt which was being taken care Of
in the course of operations, but the
forced suspension Of ore shipments
due to the closing of the Anaconda
smelter and the uncertainty it in
volved evidently impressed the direct
ors with the necessity of taking care
of the debt by direct action. In the
meantime arrangements have been
made, it is understood, to ship the
ter on more favorable terms than
were received from the Anaconda
company. The circular letter follows:
Many improvements Made.
"The Highland Surprise Console
dated Mining company as you know
has been carrying considerable
amount of Indebtedness for about a
year and half necessitated by prac-
tically rebuilding and reequipping an
old concentration, charging it and in
Sailing new machinery of the latest
and most improved kinds for making
a high saving Of the values producing
a marketable product and capable Of
handling a tonnage to justify running
the mill. The mine has been steadily
developed and ore reserves blocked
out beyond the present extraction.
The shaft sunk and equipped with a
hoist during the summer to depth OF
100 feet has proven that the ore i'm
proves with depth and widens out. Ore
is now being taken from slopes at the
No. l level in the shaft. A new COM
pressor has been installed to replace
the old one which gave out and was
not large enough to handle the load
required of it.
"The property is now at point
where we are through buying for the
present and has been more than self
sustaining recently in the face Of ris-
ing costs and the handicap Of roads
and transportation facilities.
Pay Obligations.
During the past week we have not
been able to make shipments on ac-
count of the unforeseen and indefinite
shut down of the Anaconda electricity
tic smelter at Butte, and Great Falls,
Mont, due to labor troubles. In the
meantime, however. there are certain
obligations of the company which
must be taken care of which the pres
ent assessment will take care of and
your board of directors, who are per-
sonal guarantors of these obligations
and heavy stockholders of the COM
pany realizing the objections to as
sessments, feel that it Is best for the
credit of the company to have its in
detbedness wiped out as fast as pos
siblue thereby saving interest pay
ments, which are no small item, and
fastening the time when it can re-
imburse it's stockholders, have levied
assessment No. /, Of one cent upon
the capital stock of the company"

MIDNIGHT ORE SHOOT
MAKES A FINE SHOWING
AVERAGES 8 FEET WIDE FOR A
DISTANCE OF 800 FEET
RAISE TO SURFACE.

The Early Dawn Mining company,
the holdings Of the Midnight COM
pany, is meeting with most crafty
ing results in the development Of the
property. Raymond Guyer, manager
Early Dawn, and N. C. Sheridan, sup
erintendent Of the Rex, Is supervising
the work, visiting the property two or
three times a week. The Early Dawn
ground consists Of the Midnight claim
and hummer fraction, and is bounded
on the north by the Morning and Eve
ming claims, on the west by the
Grouse, on the south by the You Like,
all the surrounding claims being own
ed by the Federal company as part
Of the great Morning group except
the Fanny Gremm on the east Many
No. s was run as the lowest level to
intersect the Morning and You Like
veins, it was necessary to cross the
Midnight claim to reach the You Like
vein. The Midnight vein was cut not
far from the south line of the claim
and showed as it is now recalled
about 10 feet of galena of good grade.
There this showing has stood since
that date without development, the
only means of reaching it being
through the Morning tunnel, and the
right to use it could not be obtained
until quite recently.
Now Use No. 5.
However, the parties taking the
bond on the Midnight a few months
ago have secured permission from the
Federal to use the old tunnel, and
since taking hold of the property

nave extended drifts both east and
west aggregating about 500 feet, every
foot of which Is in ore. 1t was stated
yesterday by one who recently visit
ed the Early Dawn that the ore in
places is II feet wide and for 800 feet
1t will average s feet wide. all good
milling ore and much of it of shipping
grade. 1t is right in the heart of a
hill that is famous as a mineral pro-
Queer, and all things indicate that
the Midnight is destined to develop
bonanza ore shoot.
Raise to Surface.
An upper tunnel enters the Mid
night claim through the Fanny
Gremm. This old tunnel has recently
been cleaned out. having caved in
several places, retimbered, and the
tunnel is to be extended to a point
over the east drift from No. 5, where
raise will be started to the surface,
following the vein. Work in the raise
will be pushed from both the Fanny
Gremm level and from No. 8. This
will provide another outlet to the
mine as we'll as prove the vein.
The Early Dawn company will soon
build boarding house near the por-
tai of No. 5, the site of the old Nor
ming boarding house, the employees
now boarding in Mullan. Ten or II
men are now employed.
Some of the heavy owners of the
Midnight, the men who have stayed
with the property through all the
years with mistaken confidence in it's
value, are William P. Flood, M. J.
McHugh and Forest Clark, all Of
Mullan, and e. J. Clark, of Spokane.
