London, April 16.-Admiral Sir
John R. Jellicoe, former commander
of the British grand fleet, and first
sea lord, today informed the Assoc
GATED Press that the most useful
contribution the United States can
make to the war against German sub
marines is small sea craft. He said
anything and everything, from de-
stroyers to tugs, are needed, and can
be used effectively. He said the pos
sibility of submarines operating on
the American coast is almost negligi-
BE, and said England and the allies
require all the wheat they can OBJ
tain from America and Canada.

ALL BRIDGES SHOULD
BE FREE. SAYS LEWIS
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, April 16.-In explain
ing his opposition to the local bill
the members from Santa Rosa and
Escambia counties want passed to
permit citizens of these two counties
to organize a corporation for the pur-
pose of constructing a bridge across
Escambia river connecting the two
counties, Amos Lewis, representative
from Jackson, says:
This bill was up as local meas
ure, but | think it is one affecting
the whole state, and if all counties
took the same position, the bridge
tolls from Pensacola to Jacksonville
would amount to a hundred dollars.
Jackson and Gadsden counties are 60
ing to build a free bridge across the
Apalachicola river, we got permission
from this legislature TO do it, and ]
take the position that all bridges
along the main thoroughfares should
be free to the public.
Another reason | opposed and will
continue to oppose toll bridges, is
that the federal road aid bill of 1916
provides that no funds will be given
when toll bridges connect the high
ways. l don't believe the people of
Santa Rosa and Escambia counties
would want toll bridge if they could
not participate in the federal aid
money for good roads.
"On the other hand, if Santa Rosa
and Escambia are going to operate
their bridge as toll one, there is no
incentive for Jackson and Gadsden
to operate a free one. dislike to
appear as opposing anything that
would help to make the Spanish Trail
popular, but l shall oppose to the limit
the granting of privileges to operate
toll bridges"

SUPREME TEST OF

Discovered That Teutons

Army On West Front
81 AssocIArEn pREaa.

From a Staff Correspondent of AS
ISOLATED Press at British Headquar-
ters in France, April 16.-With the
flames of war raging along both the
French and British western fronts,
each detail of offensive plan has been
worked out at conferences between
General Nivelle and Field Marshal
Haig and war councils in France and
England. The part to be played by
each belligerent has been agreed
upon and the schedule arranged as
for one great force.
Results thus far attained justify
the conclusion that the supreme mill
tary test of the war is near at hand.
1t is planned that the British should
strike from Arras and French further
south. The struggle promises to be
a titanic one The allies are prepared
as never before, with material, equip
ment and personnel. The Germans
have more divisions on the western
front than was thought possible a
year ago.

Wesley Everett, manager Of the
in the city last Friday returning to
the mine Saturday morning. Consid-
ering the difficulties he has had to
contend with during the winter, his
report of conditions at the mine indi-
Gates that the work accomplished has
been very satisfactory. The Amazon
Dixie company owns an excellent wa
ter right which furnishes power for all
purposes, but the excessive cold wea-
ther early in the season reduced the
water supply to a point that forced
reduction of the working force. The
reduced power, however, has been
utilized to the best advantage, and by
giving the work his personal attention
Mr. Everett has been able to make
very satisfactory showing.
crosscut From Shaft
Work has been limited to sinking
has now been sunk ESQ feet and sta
tion preparatory to prosecuting to the
vein is now about completed. A skip
pocket is also being put in and this,
too, is nearly completed. With these
arrangements completed, which is now
only a matter of few days, cross
cut will be run to the vein, which is
expected to be reached by March Is.
The main tunnel has disclosed
continuous ore shoot for over 500 feet
and a raise near the shaft connects
with the upper tunnel, a distance Of
about 700 feet which also shows ore
practically all the way. The crosscut
from the shaft is expected to show
the shoot fully as good or better than
in the tunnel, and upon its completion
the shaft will be extended ANOTHER $50
feet, from which the vein will again
be explored If this work shows the
results confidently expected by the
management, the next move will be
the equipment of the property for
production.

here, for otherwise the Kootenai coun-
ty senator would not have made his
unqualified statement They are prob
ably the same who favored the "tri-
angular swap" by which this county
would part with valuable territory for
the privilege of building a road
through Fourth Of July canyon. They
will find that the proposition to build
roads in Kootenai county under the
law that has just been passed will
meet with the same reception from
the taxpayers of this county that was
accorded the triangular swap" The
taxpayers demand that good roads
first be built up Pine creek, to the
Montana summit, and in various 9TH
er parts of the county with the road
funds, and then If there is surplus 1t
will be in order to reduce taxes rath-
er than to spend the money building
roads in neighboring counties.

Kootenai County Senator Says We Want
to Build Roads in His County

A dispatch from Boise says the sen.
ate has passed the house bill giving
one county power to construct and
pay for roads through an adjoining
county. Senator Stevenson, Of this
county, is reported to have opposed
the bill on the ground that it was un-
constitutional, but an opiaion from
the attorney general to the contrary
induced him to give his support to the
measure While the bill was being
considered, Senator Nelson, of Koot-
enai county, made this surprising an
nouncement: "Shoshone county Is par
ticularly interested in this measure
for it desires to finish construction Of
the Fourth of July canyon road
through our county. The people Of
Wallace are particularly interested"
who are the people who want to use
the public funds of this county to
build roads in Kootenai county? 1t is
evident that there are such people

REPORTS ON SUCCESS
ORE ON 1400 LEVEL
CONDITIONS ENCOURAGING, BUT
STRIKE is NOT CON-
FlRMED.

The past week has beeu rife with
400 level of the Success mine, and the
report still persists with renewed
positiveness daily. About a week ago
it is learned that certain employees of
the Success placed substantial orders
for Success stock, and at the same
time dropped the information that six
feet of the best ore that had ever
showed up in Success had been struck
on the 400 level. Information coming
from such a direct source and accom-
panied by liberal purchases of stock
necessarily produced profuond i'm
preston, and the public very natural
ly accepted the information as correct.
The amount Of ore now on the 1400
level Is variously stated from six feet
of first class ore to IA feet of good
mill feed, and in spite of the fact that
none of these reports have been con-
firmed by the management the belief
prevails that an important change has
taken place which brightens the out
look for the mine.
Level Shows Improvement.
In conversation with P. j. Gearon.
manager of the Success, he in sub
stance reiterated the statement he
made last week that while some ore
was being found on the 1400, there
had been no change that would war
rant the reported strike The show
ing is better than on the 1900 and 1900
and the conditions are more favorable
for an ore body than on the levels
above. The quartzite is increasing and
the monzonite or granite is corre-
spondingly receding from the ore
bearing channel, giving more cheer
ing outlook, but the actual ore devel-
oped@is not sufficient to excite any one.
The station and skip pocket on the
1900 level are almost completed and
exploration on the new level will soon
begin. The improved conditions on
the 400 give encouragement that
large body of ore may be developed
on the 1900.

creek drainage, just over the divide on
the west side of the west fork of Nine
Mile The development consists of a
drift 600 feet on a very promising
vein, and which has now attained a
depth of about 800 feet. The vein
has large and strong iron outcrop,
and the best showing on the surface
will be reached by the drift in about
180 feet. Mr.. Mabn returned to the
property in the afternoon, the crust on

NINE RIVER BOTTOM
MAY Be MILLIONS IN i
PREPARES FOR opERArloNs-A
SIMILAR PROCESS IN NEW
ZEALAND.

The Independent Development COM
pany a local corporation which has
secured rights to work the river bed
from Kingston to Dudley, is preparing
to begin operations this spring. Thor
Cugh tests have proved that the de-
posts of tailings covering many years
lying in the bottom of the river will
return a good profit by the process
by which it is proposed to handle
them. 1t is proposed to use strong
suction pumps to elevate the accumu-
lated material and the values will be
recovered by the flotation process.
Plans are now being worked out for
the plant and all necessary equip
ment, and it is understood that all fin
ancial arrangements have been COM
pleted to carry the enterprise through.
In this connection the following re-
garding a similar enterprise in New
Zealand, by which gold is recovered
from tailings which have settled in the
river below the mills, is Of interest:
Pays Large Dividends.
"On the Ohinemuri river, II miles
from Waihi and s miles from Karang-
ahake, New Zealand, the Waihi-Pa
roa Gold Extraction company contin-
ues to recover gold and silver from
the failing washed down that stream
from the plants treating ore in the
mining districts. This failing is rath-
er the accumulation of years than new
material. 1t Is dredged from the river
bottom, ground in tube mills (22), cy-
anided by agitation in Pachuca tanks,
and filtered by vacuum filters A re-
cent yield was $23,500 from 1900
tons of failing, equal to $1.40 per ton.
Since starting operation 653,700 tons
has given bullion worth $936,000. Divi-
dends amount to $60000."

TARBOx.
Report of Cutting Large and Rich Ore
Body Confirmed.

From party who came over from
the Tarbox this week it Is learned
that the crosscut from the shaft at the
600 level has now crossed the vein and
the showing disclosed is even better
than expected The crosscut first
passed through four feet of'high grade
zinc ore, the best that has been struck
in the mine, according to information
received. This is followed by large
amount of lower grade and streak
of barren ground, beyond which 1t is
stated that a fine shoot of lead ore
has been cut. The depth at which it
is found, the size and quality of the
ore, all combine in connection with
the showing above to remove what
ever doubt may have existed as to the
future of the Tarbox. Manager Daxon
is expected to arrive from Butte to-
Cay or tomorrow.
