Montana Property in Which Wallace
Men Are Interested.

wv A. Kittrell, formerly resident
of this city and now manager of the
Vermilion Lead & Silver Mining COM
pany, spent Christmas in this city
and left today for Hamilton, Mont,
to confer with the directors of the
company. The company has 5O-ton
mill completed to run by water power
and the plant is in readiness to start
when the ore body is opened on the
lower tunnel level. In the upper tun-
mel there is considerable ore exposed
that is reported to give an average
value of $50 in gold, silver and lead
with samples running $50 ounces in
silver. 1t is the purpose to extend
the lower tunnel to the ore shoot,
which will be in easy access of the
mill rather than incur the expense of
conveying the ore from the upper
levels. This tunnel is now within
about 70 feet Of the vein. Two shifts
are working and it should be reached
in about 40 days. In extending this
tunnel Mr.. Kittrell reports cutting a
blind vein which proved to be IA feet
wide and from which assays of from
$12 to $27 in gold were obtained.
When the original vein is reached 1t
is proposed to start development |
work on both veins. 1t is expected !
to be in shape to start the mill about |
April 1. Mr.. Kittrell Is very optim-
istic regarding the property, and so
also is John c. White, Of the local fire
who Is a stockholder.
The vermiion property is situated on
Vermlion creek, tributary of Trout
creek. and is about 12 miles from
Trout Greek station, on the Northern
Pacific, with which 1t is connected by
a good wagon road.

lutinPriCe of Lead
Expected Happened

Ihere is no occasion to becoma
pahichy over the metal market.
NO" lhat peace has come, all war
prices including wages. are in for
REVISION downward. Every in
'eiiigent person has long realized
'hat and 1t has been a matter of
common discussion. The only nm
expected feature of the situation
IS ullat lead should be singled ont
Tor the first heavy cut, marion.
iariy because the situation in lead
mas been regarded as the most
favorable of all the base metals
'Wlen the war ended there was no
surplus lead, but the expectation
that there would immediately he
considerable Industrial demand
seems to have proved unfounded
'Ihere being no market, a surplus
quickly accumulated and a dron
IN the price was inevitable. While
the situation will probably i'm
prove In a short time, no reason
able man expects return to war
time prices for the metal. The
industry will continue to suffer,
IN common with the copper and
all other industries, during the
period of readjustment AS
consequence producers will find it
necessary to curtail their output
to conform to the demand. 1t is
not believed that there will be any
general suspension Of production,
but whatever the situation that
develops it will no doubt be in
perfect accord with natural con-
ditions growing out of the transit
tion from war to peace Even with
the prevailing high prices, Coenr
d'Alene lead mines can generally
earn a profit with lead at 6.5 cents
per pound. for they have the ad-
vantage of silver at $1.01h per
ounce, figure that all authorities
agree has come to stay. 1t is cer-
tain that there will be no thought
of reducing wages so long as or
dinary living expenses remain at
the present level. Altogether there
appears to be nothing in the sit
uation to cause alarm, for in any
event the time will not be far
distant when the mining industry
will come back on permanent
peace basis which will spell pros
perity for many years.

portant Activity.
William Sherwood, well known Pine
Creek miner, was in the city Tuesday.
He says that rich district has settled
down for a quiet winter, but with the
confident expectation that things will
open up with rush in the spring. He
regards the building Of the Pine Creek
branch next season as positively cer-
tain. The tonnage is there and it is
his opinion that this important enter
price can be no longer deferred. He
regards It as very significant that
enough ties and rails are piled along
the completed track to build the line
beyond the Na'bob mill, and he thinks
when the work starts it will not stop
until it reaches the Constitution.
A considerable force is employed ex-
cavating for the foundation for the
Nabob mill and 1t is announced that
this work will continue during the
winter and that the mill will be COM
pleted by spring.

Local Paper Would
Create False Alarm

Indignation Is a mild term to
express the feelings Of the peo-
pie Of the Coeur d'Alene district,
and particularly the business men
of Wallace. when they saw spread
over the first page Of the Day
daily last Saturday morning the
startling announcement that
Lead Slump Hits This District"
and that Failing off in Price May
Force Closing of Mines Through
out District" These sensational
headlines were followed by double
column comment In bold face type,
calculated to clinch the wholly
unwarranted announcement con-
tained in the headlines. Having
combed the merchants to the limit
in getting Christmas advertising,
the Day organ seems to have ma
liciously exploded this bomb
amongst the Christmas shoppers.
III 1t was premeditatedly done to
Kill the holiday trade, those who
are responsible for it are welcome
to the satisfaction that comes in
knowing that in a measure at least
1t accomplished its purpose. II
on the other hand it was designed
as a preparatory shock to be fol-
lowed by proposal to reduce
wages, then it failed utterly in
accomplishing its purpose. Read
ers Of the gloomy forebodings
were quick to recognize at least
one bright spot from the stand
point of the publishers. While
loudly proclaiming that lead had
gone down. and implying that
wages might follow, the public Is
happily informed that powder has
increased from 100 to 200 per cent"
and hardware has gone up enor-
mously in price" Allah be prais-
ed! All is not lost so long as these
staple commodities continue to hit
the high places in the Occur
d'Alene market.

Work Suspended This Week-No Ex-

pIanation of Cause.
Information was received Tuesday
that orders had been received to close
down all work at the Sunset mine,
owned by Senator Clark Of Butte. Last
week w. c. Sederfin, of Butte, mining
representative Of Senator Clark, visit
ed the Sunset mine and it is presumed
that he issued the order. The Sunset
mine is opened by shaft to a depth
OF 1000 feet and it has generally been
understood that commercial ore had
been found on all levels. Some
months ago, however, work was dis
continued In the lower level and con-
fined extending the drift east on the
400. While no official information Is
obtainable on the subject, 1t Is gen.
orally believed that large amount
of low grade lead-Zinc ore has been
developed and that work has been sus-
pended on account of the unsatisfac-
tory market for these metals. and that
when conditions improve. as they GER
tainly will, work will be resumed on
the Sunset and that it will be placed
IN condition to produce.

MUCH ORE At NATIONAL
TWO SHIFTS N TAEM|LL
SOON PUT ON THREE-DRiFTING
FROM WiNZE-PRICE OF
COPPER

Upon the installation of the new
driving pulley and repaired shaft at
the National mill last week, another
shift was put on, making two, and
the management expects to have
three shifts working by the first of
the year. This will depend somewhat,
however, upon the success that attends
milling operations for during the past
few weeks one accident has followed
another to an extent that, would dis
courage a less optimistic management.
The mill Is now apparently in first
class condition, and there has never
been O time In the history of the mine
when there was so large tonnage Of
ore broken and ready for delivery to
the mill. On the 800, 1900, 14OO and
1900 there are large amounts of avail
able ore and 1t is expected that
substantial addition will be made in
drifting from the winze sunk from the
1900. A crosscut is now being run
to the vein at depth of about IS
feet from the 1900 and should encoun-
ter it by this time.
Price Of Copper.
The National is the only copper mine
in the district and the unsettled condi-
tion of the copper market is on a par
with that of lead. The amount of sill
yer in National ore has always been
All important factor and Is especially
so at this time when 1t appears to be
the only metal that seems certain to
maintain the present price with
strong possibility of going higher
should the government withdraw its
hand as it has done with respect to
other metals. Under the terms OF SHIP
ment, the smelter pays the Nationai
IL cents for copper upon receipt OF
shipment and makes the final settle
ment 120 days later at the then market
price. The National Is therefore peing
hit hard in settlement for ore shipped
four months ago, for there Is practic-
ally no market price for copper at TINS
time. But it is confidently expected
by the best authorities on copper tnat
the market will be restored within the
next few months and that the price
will be such that the National VIII pe
compensated for the loss it Is no"
sustaining. In fact, in spite OF the
present uncertainty, the outlook 1or
copper is regarded very satisfactory

THEY WOULDN'T FIGHT
NOW THEY CAN'T WORK
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY TO EN-.
FORCE IDAHO ALIEN LABOR
LAW

Those citizens of foreign countries
who had declared their intention to
become citizens of the United States
prior to the war, and who preferred
to have their declaration of intention
revoked rather than serve in the army
or navy while the country was at war,
are now confronted with paying the
penalty for this exhibition of q pusil-
luminous spirit. Their action not only
showed weakness and cowardice, but
also that in taking out their first
papers they perjured themselves by
processing that they would become
loyal and patriotic citizens of their
country and assume all the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship, one Of which
Is to fight if necessary in defense of
their adopted country.
1t is most gratifying to know that
the law Is going to be enforced against
these ingrates, and If they cannot be
deported, they can at least be placed
in a position in which they cannot
have the protection of the laws of
Idaho while enjoying prosperity which
they do not deserve. II. J. Hull, pros
ecuting attorney of this county, is To-
eating these men and serving notice
upon their employers that Idaho law
forbids the employment of aliens and
that it Is his purpose to enforce the
law.
Form Of Notice.
Here is the form of notice being sent
to employers by Mr.. Hull, after giving
the names Of the employees who have
refused to respond to the draft and
prefer to have their first papers can
celled:
For your information l beg to ad-
wise that these men signified their
desire to revoke their respective de-
clarations of intention to become
citizens Of this country in order to
avoid military service during our past
emergency. Under these cir
cumstances, l deem it my duty to en-
force the provisions of section 1458
OF the Idaho revised codes as to these
men. This section prevents private
from employing aliens
who have failed, neglected or refused
to become naturalized or to declare
their intention to become naturalized.
I'm view of the facts above stated,
these men can never become citizens Of
this country"
Glad to Cooperate.
The employing companies of this
county are much gratified at the ac-
ton taken by the prosecuting attor-
ney and are glad to cooperate with
him In enforcing this most just law.
When it is found that these men are
on the payroll 1t is safe to say that
the companies will Immediately give
them their time.

tract was taken was addressed to the
Big Creek Mining company and the

1.-THE TARBOX mine, near Saltese,
Mont, Is rapidly advancing to
the productive stage; in fact.
according to plans that are now
being formulated the company will be
shipping ore by the first Of February.
Material evidence Of the ability Of
the mine to supply the ore may be
seen at the office of Frank ]. Davey,
on Bank street, where there Is a big
chunk of lead ore. fully three -fourths
, of which appears to be steel galena.
One side OF 1t is polished by move
ment of the ledge, forming glazed
streaks that have the appearance of
pure lead. This chunk represents
streak of solid ore six or seven inches
thick, and according to description
of the showing, there are other simil-
ar streaks which altogether aggregate
fully three feet of shipping ore. The
width Of the drift is eight or nine
feet, all in ore, and there Is ore on
both sides, so the actual width Of the
ore body Is not known. This will
probably be determined in a few days
by crosscutting to both walls. In ad-
dition to the streaks Of ore referred
to, there is one two or three inches
thick along the hanging wall that
carries a little copper and about 3
ounces of silver to the per cent of
lead. The large chunk of ore at Mr..
Daveys office shows very little zinc,
and it Is stated that the decrease In
the amount Of zinc as compared to
lead is the most striking feature
throughout the big ore body. The
showing here described is on the 1000
level, In the east drift and about 90
feet from the crosscut from the wnze.
The drift west is going forward and
1t Is expected that the ore shoot will
be reached in about 40 feet.
Prepare to Ship.
While no official announcement has
been made, the Miner understands
from reliable source that prepara-
tion Will be made at once to begin
shipping ore. Just what these ar
will be has not been def
lniteiy determined, but 1t Is believed
that by February l the Tarbox COM
pany will be sending out ore that will
contribute materially toward defray-
ing the operating expenses and equip
ping the property for larger produce
ton. The mine is situated about three
miles from the railroad at Saltese,
and connected by a good wagon road :,
with a down grade all the way. The
owns splendid water pow
err which when utilized will meet all
for the mill and COM
pressor. A dam has been constructed
and right of way for pipe line cleared
and graded. With the splendid show
ing Of ore, 1t seems reasonably certain
that the property will be provided
with mill in the spring.

POCKET NEAR SURFACE PRO.
DucES 12 CARLOADS OF
SHIPPING ORE.
E. G. Gnaedinger, superintendent Of

e. G. Gnaedinger, superintendent OF
the Intermountain Copper Mining
company, came over Tuesday to
spend Christmas with his family in
this city. The Intemountain mine is
situated about 10 miles from Iron
Mountain, Mont, and a branch rail-
road connects it with the Northern
Pacific near that place. 1t is probable.
however, that this branch railroad
will not be in existence much longer,
as the track steel has been sold and
Is liable to he taken up at any time.
When this Is done the Intermountain
company proposes to utilize the
abandoned road bed for an auto truck
road and trucks will be put on to
convey ore shipments to the main
line.
Sinking From 400 Level.
Although the Intermountain mine Is
opened by a shaft to a depth Of 700
feet, no mining Is being done below
the 400 level. At this time winze
Is being sunk from the 400 in the ore.
1t is now down about so feet and will
be extended to 100, when an interme-
date level will be opened from the
bottom. The mill is running two
shifts on ore that comes from the
winze and from old slopes in the lev
els above. When the intermediate
level Is opened there will probably be
sufficient ore to keep the mill running
full time. Shipments from the In
termountain are now running about
three or four carloads of concentrates
per month that average about Is per
cent copper Occasional shipments of
crude ore carry about the same per-
centage of copper.
A Rich Pocket.
Soon after taking charge of the
mine Mr.. Gnaedinger discovered a
Of oxidized ore on the sur
face which had been overlooked by
former managers. A little work dis
closed fine body of shipping ore. He
is just now cleaning up the Hast Of
this ore, the deposit yielding IL car
loads Of Is per cent copper ore.
