Some one has let it become known
that the hat checking privilege at a
Brooklyn IN. " cafe has been leased
for $4,000 year. Should not this fact
be brought to Mr.. Hoover's attention
as an example of useless extravaganza
connected with dining? One habitual
diner-out has estimated that every
hat he wears costs him at least $50,
in addition to its original price, be-
cause he has to buy it back so often
from the unblushing hat boys and
girls.

Company Installing Boiler and Pump
and Will Sink on Vein.
The Samson Mining company, Of
which L. L. Brainard and his brothers
of Kellogg and Wardner are the con-
trolling owners. has recently delivered
a 3O-horsepower boiler at the prop
erty and pump Is on the way. These
are put in preparatory to sinking on
the vein. which according to present
plans will be extended to depth Of
$50 feet. Some excellent lead-silver
ore has been developed on the Sam
son, and in the bottom Of the shaft
which has been sunk to a depth Of so
feet on the vein, or vertical depth Of
60 feet. there is splendid showing or
high grade ore. An especially inter-
esting feature of the Samson ore at
this time Is the high silver value.
From lot of ore which had
been sorted for shipment an assay re-
turned rs per cent lead and 115 ounces
silver, and this ratio Of lead and ell
yer Is maintained in the lower grade

work has been done on the property.
disclosing considerable ore, but lack
o. pumping facilities has prevented
development at depth. The Samson Is
located on Eagle creek, about half a
mile above the mouth of Tributary.

The Lombardy shaft is now report
ed down $50 feet and advancing at the
rate of feet per day. At zoo feet,
which is expected to be reached next
month, the vein will be crosscut, with
most favorable indications that body
of commercial ore will be encountered.
Ore has been developed in the tunnel
from which the shaft is sunk for
distance of $50 feet and in places there
il considerable ore of shipping grade.
The property is about a mile north OF

The National Mill
Will Soon Start;
Directors Meet

THE NATIONAL MILL will be
started as soon as minor repairs
can be made and parts of mach
inery which have been ordered
are received. 1t is expected that with
in two or three weeks the mill will
be in operation. A few men are be-
ing added to the force in the mine, and
everything underground will be in
readiness to supply the ore when the
mill starts. The bins at the mill,
which have storage capacity of
nearly 1000 tons, are almost full of ore.
Since cutting the vein on the 1900
level drifts have been run nearly 100
feet both east and west and the vein
crosscut in both places. In the east
drift the vein was shown to be 40 feet
wide, all ore Of practically the same
grade as where first crosscut, but con-
siderably harder. In the west drift
the showing is much better both in
grade of ore and amount. The vein
was crosscut 80 feet without reaching
the wall. Every foot Of this is auth
oritatively reported to be in ore of de-
cidedly better grade than where first
crosscut and which will unquestion-
ably yield a good profit.
The directors of the National held a
meeting last Friday afternoon, which
was attended by Charles McKinnis
August Paulsen, Jas. F. Mccarthy,
Harry White and A. P. McRae. The
condition of the mine and the pros
pect of profitable operation were care
fully considered. Maps showing the
character of ore in all parts of the
mine, based upon careful sampling.
were closely examined and the whole
question of profitable operation seems
to have been most carefully consider
ed. The conclusion of the directors
is embodied in this paragraph from
a circular letter since issued to the
stockholders:
"The ore has been carefully samp-
led by competent mining engineers
and your directors advised the mine
can be operated at a fair profit on
the grade of ore shown by the samp-
ling as long as the present metal prices
prevail We have therefore levied an
of one cent per share.
Milling will begin as soon as minor re-
pairs and renewals can be made to
the MILL"
A complete financial statement was
issued covering the period between
March 1 and August 1, 1917, and an
of / cent per share was
levied which will provide funds for
operating expenses.

A N INTERESTING plan for in
! ~ creasing the water supply, par
~ tieularly during excessively dry
seasons such as the present, is
being carried out by the Hercules Min
ing company on Lake gulch. Water
for milling purposes is taken from this
gulch for use at the Hercules mill. A
flume conveys it to point on the
hill south of the O.-W. r. & N. bridge,
| from which place the water is piped
to the mill. The elevation of the
tank on this hill is almost 500 feet
above the floor Of the mill. The long
dry spell has greatly reduced the sup.
! ply of water. and to overcome this
has adopted plans to increase the
storage capacity Of Lost lake, which
is the source of water supply at the
head of Lake gulch, but also to enable
the company to tap the lake and take
all the water there is In it when oc.
casion requires.
Double Area of Lake.
There is a popular tradition that has
been handed down since the early
days that there is no bottom to Lost
lake; that it is in the crater of an ex-
tinct volcano and that it's waters ex-
tend to Understandable depth. This ira
dition which has lent a mystic charm
to the wild and romantic location of
the lake high up the cliffs and craigs
of the mountains is now SWEPT
away leaving not shadow of
fact to support it. In the
course of preparation to more fully
utilize the lake as reservoir, sound
ings were taken to determine it's depth
and it was found that at no place was
the water more than 20 feet deep. The
surface of the lake is about 900 feet
across, and its area is approximately
about the same as a Wallace city
block. The Hercules company Is now
preparing to place a dam across the
outlet which will be about rs feet long
and Is feet high, and it is estimated
that this additional height will prac-
ically double the area Of the lake, the
shore on one side being quite flat
which will permit overflowing with
the increased elevation.
Tap Bottom Of Lake.
But this is not the only plan to pro-
vide more water. In order to get the
benefit of all the water in seasons
such as the present when the natural
outflow is not sufficient to meet the
requirements of the mill, 1t is pro-
posed to tap the lake from the bottom.
This work is now being done. A tun-
mel is being driven under the lake
which will tap it at the lowest point
A pipe will be laid, supplied with a
valve which will permit drawing of
the water when desired. When these
plans have been carried out, every
gallon of water in the lake Will be
available for use.

HIGHLAND SURPRISE.
Report That Company Will Resume
SHIPMENTS to U. S. Snelter.
THE NATIONAL MILL will be

can be made and parts of mach

Since suspending shipments on ac-
smelters, it was reported yesterday
that the Highland Surprise company
had entered into contract with the
United States smelter for it's zinc pro-
duct and that shipments would go for
ward at once to the plant at Salt Lake.
OF Highland Surprise affairs the
Wardner- Kellogg News says:
AT meeting Of the directors Of the
Highland Surprise Consolidated Min
ing company this evening an assess
ment of one cent per share was levied,
proceeds from which are to be used in
taking up Indebtedness incurred in the
construction of the mill and extensive
developments underground. The High
land Surprise has been one of the few
mines of the district to march from
the prospect class into the developed
mine list without assessments, the
management getting out ore sufficient
to carry the work along until heavy
expenditures for the concentrator
made necessary an Indebtedness. I'M
provements to the mill this year, cost
ing upwards of $4,000 have been met
by profits from ore shipments and at
the same time an extensive under
ground development program has been
carried out. The closing down of the
Anaconda smelter has caused sus-
pension of ore shipments for the past
10 days, that concern holding the con-
tracts for the mine output. Negotia-
tions now under way with other smell
ters are meeting with favorable re-
suits and new contracts are expected
at any time and active shipments
again resumed. The management has
decided to keep the mine in steady op-
Grafton pending an adjustment OF the
smelter contracts and will be in shape
for a larger production when the Pine
creek railroad is completed.

LET CONTRACT FOR
PINE CREEK RAILROAD.

A dispatch from Portland un-
der date of September s states
that J. ID. Farrell, president of
the O.-W. r. & N. company, has
authorized the construction of
the Pine creek branch immedi-
ately, and that the contract will
probably be awarded before the
end of the week. From this it
appears that the board of di-
rectors of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn took prompt and favorable
action on the proposition as soon
as the shipping contracts were
signed up. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the contract will be
awarded to Twohy brothers, who
built the Beaver creek branch
and who have much of their out
fit still on the ground evidently
in anticipation of the work on
Pine creek. The company esti-
mates that the construction of
the branch will cost 100000.
With favorable weather eondi-
tions the work should be COM
pleted within three months.

OLD VETERAN.
Face Of Drift Now Shows Over 6 Feet
Of Copper Ore.

of Copper Ore.
Reports from the Old Veteran con-
tinue to be decidedly encouraging. The
copper ore that was encountered some
time ago has steadily increased in size
until it is now 6k feet wide in the
face and is apparently of better grade
than when the first assays were made
The full width of the shoot will not
be known until a crosscut is run to
the foot wall. which win probably be
done the latter part of the month. The
shoot has now been followed over so
feet, and recently dark streaks have
appeared which suggest high values In
copper and silver Considerable spec
ulation is being INDUCED in as to whe-
ther this will prove to be a permanent
and Independent shoot of copper or
whether it will change to lead as a
part Of the showing developed above.
At this time there Is no evidence of
lead.

Citizens Ready
to Help Suppress
Lawless Element
-HE ATTEMPT of bunch of

"HE ATTEMPT of a bunch of
Butte trouble breeders, said to
number IS men. to intimidate
men employed at Burke and
Mace last Sunday evening was promp-
tly suppressed by the quick dispatch
1t appears that the gang got together
for the purpose OF driving out a man
or two at Mace, who had refused to
strike at Butte on demand of the mon
grel organization, mostly !. w. VS.,
which claims to be legitimate labor
union, but has no recognition as such.
The gang failed in its purpose and
quickly dispersed upon news that the
soldiers were on the way. The affair
has served useful purpose in calling
public attention to the type of men
that infest the district and caused eff
fective preparations to be made to
suppress all such acts of lawlessness.
Acting upon the suggestion of Lieut.
enant II. E. Jeter, who is in command
of the small detachment of troops sta
toned here. who had conferred with
various citizens on the subject, a
meeting Of the home guard was called
at 8 o'clock last Tuesday morning at
the ball park, Although the hour was
early large number of citizens res
ponded to the CALL showing that they
were thoroughly in earnest in their de-
termination to be prepared to sup
press all disorder. In the high school
auditorium Lieutenant Jeter explain
ed the purpose in calling the citizens
together and made some practical
suggestions for handling the men in
case of trouble. He afterwards illus
trated his plan on the ball ground,
which was to divide the various groups
under command Of captain into
squads of six men under the immedi-
ate command of an assistant. This
plan will enable the captain to distri-
butte his men quickly and to the best
advantage in case they are called
upon.
There were probably upwards of 15o
men present. and the most striking
feature developed was the earnestness
and determination on the part of all
to hold themselves in readiness to
suppress every act of laWlessness thas
would deprive the citizen of his rights
or interfere with the operation of the
mines of the district.

the oldest electric power development
in the district. The original plant was
put in by the Poorman company while
urder the management of the late
Patrick Clark. 1t was subsequently
used by the Consolidated Tiger Poor
ma mine, and when that property and
the Standard passed into the hands of
the Federal company the power line
was extended to the latter, where 1t
Is still in use.
The flume that supplies the Stand
arG mill in this city is also undergoing
extensive repairs. This flume diverts
the water from the South Fork about
two and a half miles above this city.
The three fumes which convey wa
tel for power to the great Morning
compressor plant are being rebuilt.
These are located on Rock creek and
ST. Joe creek, on the opposite side Of
the river to the plant, and the third
is on Grouse creek. at the mouth Of
which is situated the plant.
Crude Ore Bin.
At the Morning a large ore bin for
crude. ore taken from the sorting belts
Is being built. This will prove great
advantage over the present system, by
which all this crude ore is' delivered
to the cars through the mill. With
the completion OF the bin the ore will
go direct to the cars and weight TAX
en- on new track scales which will be
put in for the purpose.
Still another Improvement noted@ Is
the construction of large timber shed
near the Morning mill.

TheSe 10 young men, representing
per cent of Shoshone county's quota
in the national army. have been sum-
moned to report to the local
board in this city at $50 p. m.
today. From that moment they are in
the service of the government and
subject to military law. When they
will leave for the training camp at
American Lake Is of course not known,
but it will be soon; possibly tomor-
row, or it may not be for several days.
They will soon be followed by 120
more men from this county, who will
report for service on September 10,
and the remainder will be called in
quick succession. The first Is Is u
sort of advance guard and have been
selected on account of their previous
military training or other special
qualifications which will especially fit
them for the preliminary work at the
great training camp.
Cheers for the Soldiers.
Are the people of Wallace and Sho-
shone county going to permit these
boys to leave, to start for the front,
without some public demonstration or
exercises to convey to them the un-
mistakabe evidence of appreciation
for the great service they are entering
upon? While the nation from ocean
to ocean Is ringing with the cheers of
loyal people in honor Of the young
men who have responded to the call
Of country, are we to let our boys go
as If they had merely undertaken some
ordinary task in which we have no in
terest?
The time is short to undertake any
thing on an elaborate scale. but sure
ly in the brief time left before their
departure some ceremony should be
arranged which will give expression to
the loyal and patriotic sentiment of
the people of this county and that will
impress the men who are about to de-
part that we do not under estimate
the service they are about to perform
nor the personal sacrifice 1t involves
and that our hearts and hopes are
with them in the accomplishment Of
the great task that lies before Them
Surely this is a time when every loyal
citizen should delight in showing hon.
or to the nations defenders.
