Council Calls for Paving Bids in Strict
Conformity With the Law

The systematic attempt Of the op-
ponents of paving to discredit the
council by asserting that the call for
bids for paving is designed to elimin-
ate competition is not being taken
seriously for the reason, first, because
it is plain on the face of the call that
the assertion is not true, and, second,
because the large number of pros
pective bidders who have applied to
the city engineer for specifications and
paid SIS for blue print of the district
to be paved is positive proof that
there is going to be very active COM
petition. 1t is possible that all of
them may not submit bids, but it is a
fact that 10 concerns have so far rec
ognized that it Is to be- real competi-
tion and they have secured the speci-
fications and blue prints with the view
to filing bids. The council has pro-
ceeded strictly in conformity with the
law and the ruling of the court In
every particular and will award the

Water Shortage Lowers Recovery

Maximum production has been
maintained during this quarter; there
was shipped l6.424,704 pounds of crude
zinc ore and concentrates, and 1885,
go pounds of crude lead ore and con-
centrates. Notwithstanding we were
handicapped during the quarter by q
shortage of water at the mill, our con-
tract requirements of 5000 tons per
month We're filled.
You will notice the mill recovery Is
lower, being Sl.00 per cent for this
quarter as against $50 per cent for
the preceding quarter This was caus-
ed by the shortage of water for the
mill. However, this condition has al
ready been remedied, and will not cur
tail operations in the future.

Results Of Two Samples.
On the same day that the Spokane

samples We're taken OF the low grade
ore. One was taken by a Occur

lace broker and the other by Spo-
kane engineer for a Spokane broker

ed, his instructions We're for an abso-
lutely fair sample Of the vein outside
the high grade. The sample was talk
en- as directed and it was assayed in
this city by an absolutely reliable as
sayer. His test showed ounces of
silver, 6 per cent lead and per cent
copper, good milling ore.
The Spokane engineer took his sam
pie from the same place soon after
ward. His sample was assayed in
Spokane and it disclosed no CONNER
cial values, according to information
received yesterday, OF course it Is
possible that both samples were hon
estly made and that both assays were

We have no doubt about the Wallace
test.

continues to be made to discredit

ion Of capable and conservative men
that the showing of ore has great

The Old Veteran Mining company

stockholders which accompanies the
regular bi-monthly assessment. Dur
ing the month of January the drift east
in No. 8 tunnel was advanced 100 feet,
making a total of $50 feet from the
point of intersection Of the ledge by
the crosscut. The general character
istics of the vein are regarded as most
favorable to ore but considerable dis
tance remains to be run to reach the
objective point under the big carbon

last week Ed Ehrenberg, who is a
large stockholder in the company ana
whose Judgment Of mining property
always commands respect, described
the showing as one which had every
thing desirable except ore, and that
while 1t might be necessary to run
considerably further, at the same time
he would not be surprised to strike
ore any day.

Returns from the last shipment of
ore from leased ground of the Big

former shipments in value, and so far
as is known establishes record in
the district. Reference was made to
this property in the last issue of the
Miner and some interesting figures
We're given showing the results of for
certainty of locating the rich ore shoot
from which these shipments were made
in the crosscut that is now being run
by the company. Since then returns
from the last shipment have been re-
ceived, from which the following fig
ures were taken: Amount of ore in
shipment, 59,1S5 pounds or 29.5925
tons; silver, per ton, 1913 ounces:
copper, per cent, AT; net value per ton,

shipment $6234.13. Metal prices on
the day Of settlement We're: Silver,
76.625 cents per ounce; copper, 29h

to the Northport smelter. 1t will be
observed that the shipment was a
small one, little more than half the
usual carload.

This is the fifth car shipped from the
lease which shows this high value

tended but little more than 100 feet

be appreciated when It is stated that

Acquires Valuable Property

During the past year the company
has acquired two adjoining mines, the
Nipsic and the Blue Grouse properties,
with a combined acreage of 225 acres.
These two properties were purchased
for approximately $325,00O. Develop
nent work is being carried on in both
of these properties, and the showing is
very satisfactory. A nice body of
shipping ore has already been encoun-
tered in the Nipsic. The acquisition
of these two mines will add very ma
terially to the life of the Consolidated
Interstate Callahan Mining company,
and will extend it's production for a
long period.
Tonnage Steadily Increased.
New development work has been
carried on extensively during the
quarter, and the ore now blocked out
and in sight in the mine is more than
keeping pace with the amount ex-
tracted, so that the future tonnage in
the mine is being increased, notwith-
standing the heavy tonnage that is be-
ing taken from the property"

TO INTERVENE
in CUBAN REVOLT
If NECESSARY
U. S. Warns Island Govern
ment That Rule by Violence
Is Unsatisfactory

Washington, Feb. IA. - Secretary
Lansing sent to the Cuban people to-
day a warning that any government
that might be established by revolt
could not be recognized by the United
States.
Confronted by what appears to be
carefully prepared Liberal rebellion,
the administration has been forced to
consider what steps could be taken.
Intervention by the United States is
contemplated with reluctance, but the
intimation has been conveyed to
President Menocal and to the leaders
OF the uprising that such step may
be taken if it becomes necessary.
The message to the Cuban people
was sent to Minister Gonzales and to
all American consuls with instructionS
that 1t be given widest publicity. II
Is carefully worded, but calculated to
impress upon tie public the serious
ness of the situation and the profound,
dlstavor that such a revolution wouid

RETENTION OF II
AMERICANS SERIOUS
Regarded as Another Acute
Indication of Germany's
Disregard of American
Rights; Policy Unchanged,
but Present Situation as
Fraught With Danger as
U-Boat War

Washington, Feb. IA. - Presi-
dent Wilson is expected now to
defer a decision in question of
furnishing guns to American
merchant ships until he decides
whether to go before Congress
and ask for additional authority
for the protection of American
ships and lives.
It was indicated in authoritative
sources to-day that there has been no
change in the policy of the govern
ment up to the present time and that
none is in immediate prospect
The accumulation of incidents in
volving violations of American rights
since the diplomatic break with Ger
many is generally believed by admins
tration officials to be fastening the ap-
proach of the hour when the President
again will go before Congress.
Detention of Sailors Serious
The re-detention of the seventy-two
Americans brought in on the prize
snip 1arrowdale is regarded as an
other acute indication of Germany's
disregard of American rights. If. in
1act q vigorous protest has not already
gone forward, it will be sent in the
releases the men.
A definite sentiment gained ground
In administration quarters to-day that
an accumulation of acts indicating n
disregard for American rights will
have as much to do with shaping the
policy of the United States as any
overt act which may be committed
against American ships.
No Objections to Arming Ships
While 1t has been indicated AT tbe
state Department that there can he
no legal objection to the governm emf
furnishing guns to American merchant
ships, President Wilson is understood
10 pe aisincllned to take any step
winch might give Germany the slight
est ground for throwing responsibiIitv
Tor any future trouble upon the United
states. This was the governm ent's
attitude to-day, although it was ad-
mItted that there always was possi-
stances.
May Sacrifice Lives Any Minute
reports OF the piling up of freight
destined to Europe, the temporary
shutting down of grain elevators and
the other evidences of the effect of the
new submarine campaign upon neutral
commerce, are regarded as part of
the accumulation of aggrayations
which are expected to lead to action.
80 far the government has received
nothing official to indicate any change
or submarine policy by Germany and
can only believe that American lives
or ships may be sacrificed at any mo-
ment. i''
vigorous denials were made TODAY
TO reports of split in the Cabinet over
the question of furnishing guns for

ment, but it was declared that thn

STATE COAL TAX
BILL INTRODUCED:
AS NEW FEATURES
Would Share With Counties
Where Mines Are; Other
Measures Presented

A coal tax of two and a half per
cent. of the value on all coal mined
in Pennsylvania, one-half to be de-
voted to improvement and repair of
highways, is proposed in a bill intro
duCed in the House to-day by Mr..
Davis, Lackawanna. The bill would
apply to all coal and is so drawn that
If any section is declared unconstitu-
tional 1t shall not affect the others.
The process of collection is similar
to that carried in the acts of 1913 and
1915.
The bill was accompanied by pro-
posed act dedicating so per cent. to a
fund to be distributed to the cities,
boroughs and townships under which
the coal is mined or wherein it is
washed. The distribution is to be on
population basis.
Mr.. Powell, Luzerne, introduced a
bill requiring mines to establish a first
aid corps for each so persons employed
inside. In mines having less than so
men a corps shall be provided at re-
quest of the inspector. Each corps is
to be composed of five men.
Bills presented were:
Mr.. Howarth, Allegheny Prohi-
to white and colored persons who
may desire to intermarry.
Mr.. Sinclair, Fayette - Prohibiting
trespasSing on any railroad or railway
or on cars under penalty of $25 or 30
days in prison.
A joint resolution for a commission
of three to be named by the Governor
to investigate the cause of advances
in price of bituminous coal either by
operators or dealers was introduced
by Mr.. Dean, Lawrence. 1t carries an
appropriation of $4,000 and calls for
report to the Legislature by May l,
and to the Governor on January /
1918 and 1919.
Mr. Whitaker, Chester - Establish
ing a code regulating sale of opium,
cocaine, etc.
Mr.. Drake. Greene Appropriat-
ing half of automobile registration
to counties in proportion to licenses.
Mr.. Rich, Clinton - Requiring pool
and billiard room and bowling alleys
to close at midnight and remain
closed until a. m. and all day Sun
day.
Mr.. Skunk, Erie - Requiring rail-
roads to place red lights at all grade
crossings.
Mr.. Miller, Susquehanna - Impos-
ing a 2-mill tax for road purposes on
manufacturing, brewing and distilling
corporations.
