bodies OF the adjoining Success mine
occurred. When our main tunnel
crosscut this zone We encountered
zinc and some lead. Our
drift is following this showing OF ore
and we have occasional punches and
stringers Of ore. The direction we are
driving will bring us under the main
surface outcrop where a shallow shaft
was sunk by former owners on a vein
having a good showing, underneath
which we expect the present workings
to encounter good ore shoot.
THE fact that all the ore shoots in
the adjoining mine occurred in this
same band of quartzite in which we
are now finding some ore, makes it
look very favorable for us TO find II
good ore shoot when we reach our OBJ
jective point beneath the old shaft.
The showing of galena and zinc ore
In this shaft is similar to surface
showings above other ore shoots in
this same district"

at the time on account of its favorable
appearance. While continuous values
In copper have been obtained, 1t was
regarded as significant that from the
time this branch left the main vein
there has been no trace of lead, al
though little lead had been feature
of the vein up to that time. In fol-

hopeful of finding shoot of lead ore

stockholders follows:
Copper Values Continue.
"Since our report of February 4th
work at the property has been carried
on steadily and the No. 3 east drift
has been advanced a total of SO feet
since that time Copper ore has
shown continuously in the face of the

MINERS FOR THE FARMS.
SUGGESTED BY ]. ]. DAY
PROPOSES TO TRANSFER MEN
FROM THE MINES DURING
THE FARM RUSH.

As practical plan to relieve the
shortage of farm labor, Jerome j. Day,
president of the Northport smelter
and the Tamarack Il Custer Mining
company, has proposed to the depart
ment of labor that men be Temporal
lily transferred from the mines to the
farms during the seeding period and
harvest The plan Is all right and
the miners would respond with pat
rlotic promptness, for there is no
doubt that the difficulty of getting
labor to plant and care for the crops
IL one that is giving the government
much concern. But 1t must be borne
In mind that the mines themselves are
seriously short of labor now and the
transfer of any considerable number
to the agricultural districts might re-
duce the production Of metals needed
by the government and thus present
situation quite as serious as that
which confronts the farmers. But 1t
Is well to bring up the matter at this
time In order to determine what ar
rangements, If any, can be made be-
fore the emergency has to be met. Mr..
Day has presented his suggestion
through Congressman French and 1t Is
outlined in the following from the
Moscow Star Mirror;
Miners to Work the Farms.
Representative French has had up
with Secretary of Labor Wilson the
proposition suggested by Hon. j. ].
Day of Moscow looking to an arrange
ment by the government with the met
elliferous mine producers of the coun-
try by which, during the greatest de-
mand for agricultural labor such
mines as can be closed down, or run
on partial shift shall do so. so that
their employees may engage in farm
work.
1.-The arrangement contemplated that
the various purchasing boards under
the government shall authorize a pref
erence to such mines in the selling of
their ore productions as soon as they
may resume work. so that the sacri-
flee will fall on all mines alike.
Mr. French has been assured that
through the various organizations of
the labor department the mine owners
will at once be interviewed with the
view to bringing about this arrange
ment
Mr.. Day estimates that in Idaho
alone 1000 men could be made avail
abel in this way for the relief of the
farm labor difficulty"

RICHMOND SHIPMENTS
NEW ORE BODIES OPENED
PRESIDENT OF COMPANY VISITS
PROPERTY AND REPORTS
CONDITIONS.

Ore shipments are now going for
ward from the Richmond. according
to a statement given out few days
ago by J. e. Codd, president of the
company, upon his return from the
mine The property is situated near
Adair, at which point it Is connected
with the railroad by an aerial tram
way. Mr.. Codd had this to say re-
garding the condition and operation
Of the mine:
Much Available Ore.
I'VE will handle 25 to 80 tons daily.
which should enable us to ship car
load every other day. Operation Of
the tramway would have been earlier
but for the difficulty in obtaining
cable with which to make repairs.
1.-The bins are filed with ore and
much ore is broken in the stope 1t
would be hard to make an estimate on
the quantity broken in the slopes, but
there is probably 500 or 900 tons. We
are not breaking any more, but are
proceeding with the drifts.
Extend St. Lawrence Tunnel.
Much work was performed in the
period during which shipments We're
suspended. The st. Lawrence tunnel
level was extended westward and a
raise made from its western extremity
to the level above a distance Of 200
feet. A stope 1870 feet long was open
ed on the ST. Lawrence level The ore
body there is five feet wide and con-
tains five or six per cent copper by es-
innate. The body on which this stope
was opened has length of SO feet
on the level 200 feet above.
"Ore was followed 20 feet in rails
ing at a point 40 feet above the st.
Lawrence level The raise was In
country rock except for the distance of
ascent through ore. The latter body Is
a considerable distance from the To-
cality on which we opened a stope on
the st, Lawrence drift.
Employs 80 Men.
"Ore has been followed rs feet on
the 150-foot level and there Is ore in
the face. The showing is the best in
the mine, the ore having content of
probably eight per cent. The shoot Is
wider than the drift This body Is 80
feet wide at a point so feet above the
100 foot level.
Everything is being removed
through the main tunnel of the Rich
nond which has length of more than
900 feet Thirty men are employed"
