NEARING SENATOR VEIN
STR|NCERS CLEAN ORE
LOOKS LIKE LARGE BODY OF
LEAD WILL SOON BE EN-
COUNTERED IN FLYNN.

The crosscut that ls being run by
the Senator Mining company from the
Star workings into the Flynn group,
which Is held by the Senator under
bond, is now approaching the vein and
Indications point to q large ore body.
The face of the crosscut Is now almost
vertically under the outcrop Of the
Senator vein and for the past SO feet
there has been more or less ore, COM
ing in in small irregular stringers and
lunches Yesterday Ed Ehrenberg,
manager Of the Senator, stated that a
stringer of clean lead ore fully an
inch thick had been cut, and today
upon his return from the mine he re-
ported another stringer of galena half
an inch thick, both these stringers
being continuous and taking the gen.
eral course Of the vein, Of which they
are evidently feeders. These and the
position of the face almost under the
outcrop convince him that the vein is
not far away and that it may be brok-
en- into with any round.
Ground Very Hard.
The work on the surface Is not suf-
ficient to indicate the dip of the vein,
but it was assumed when the crosscut
was started that it would dip to the
south. This has now been proved to
be incorrect, which explains why it
was not encountered as soon as ex-
pected originally. The rock has been
excessively hard during the past few
weeks, making progress very slow 1t
still remains hard, but the presence Of
these stringers of ore have the effect
to make the ground break better and
consequently better progress is being
made, the daily average now being
about six feet The second vein on
the Flynn group commonly known as
the Cunningham vein, is about 400 feet
beyond the face of the crosscut

TARBOX W|NzE $50 FEET.
IS IN HARDER GROUND
CHANGE REGARDED FAVORABLE
WORK STARTED TO UTIL-
lZE WATER POWER.

Upon his return from the mine
Tuesday Richard Daxon, manager of
the Tarbox, near Saltese, stated that
the winze from the 500 level is now
down $50 feet. He also reported that
the ground has become noticeably
harder and that progress will be some
what slower on that account. The
change, however, is regarded favor
able and goes to confirm the predic-
tions made by engineers who have ex-
amined the property, namely, that the
disturbed condition of the formation
would disappear as depth was gained
and that on the 1000-foot level the ore
would be found confined between solid
walls and of better grade than any
that had been found above This the
ory was fully verified on the 500 and
the change now noted in the winze
indicates that it will be further sub
stantiated on the 1000. In fact, con-
fidence is growing that the 1000 foot
level will show -ore Of shipping grade
which promises to place the Tarbox
on self-supporting basis.
Developing Water Power.
I'm the meantime Manager Daxon
states that work has been started on
the water right which will provide
ample power for the mill and other
purposes. About ten men are en-
ployed on this work and others will
be put on as soon as they can be Sc
cured. The broad trail to the reser-
voir site Is being completed in order
to deliver material for the dam, which
will be constructed at the confluence
of two streams, forming an ideal site
for the storage of water Clearing
right of way and grading for the pipe
line is also under way. The class of
pipe to be used, iron or wood, is now
under consideration. The pipe line
will be about a mile long and the sup
ply of water is ample at all seasons.

BULLION.

James H. Taylor, manager Of the
Bullion Mining company and John F.
Ferguson went over to the properly
last week for the purpose Of making
an inspection Of the showing disclosed
by the last round when work was
suspended a few days ago. Stringers
Of ore, chalcopyrite, were found
throughout the width Of the drift,
making decidedly the best showing Of
ore that has been developed in the
mine 1t is believed that this ore is
the beginning Of the shoot that il ex-
posed in the bottom Of the shaft and
which has been further proved by
diamond drill. An assay Of this ore
returned 27.8 per cent copper and 7
ounces of silver Work was suspended
on the Bullion on account Of the high
cost Of mining.

STOCKHOLDERS OF REX
RECEIVE A DIVIDEND
FINAL ACT IN CLOSING AFFAIRS
OF OLD CoMPANY-HAD
EVENTFUL CAREER.

Last week the stockholders of the
Rex Mining company received their
first and last dividend. The dis
bursement was at the rate of 9& mills
per share and aggregated 4,625, This
payment represented the final distri-
button of the companys assets, the
company having been disincorporated
on July 49, The capital stock of the
company was 100000 shares and in
exchange for these stockholders have
received 100000 shares in the Rex
Consolidated Mining company, the
consolidated company taking over all
the property Of the old company The
distribution of the cash on hand
among the stockholders of the old Rex
company was the final act in closing
the career Of a corporation that has
maintained a precarious existence for
many years. The Rex mine was dis
covered during that period of financial
heresy when Bryan had hypnotized
the west with his cure for all national
ills in the form Of reconciliation OF
silver. Naturally the four lucky
Swedes" who found the mine christ
ened 1t the "16 to l." and so 1t was
called for many years, or until the
financial equilibrium Of the people was
restored, when the company was rein
corporated under the laws of Maine
and called the Rex" The Rex Con-
solidated, which now owns the mine
Is reputed to have ample resources tC
develop the property to greater
depth and it is not improbable tha'
when conditions for mining are more
favorable the great expectations Of it,
early owners will be realized.
Accompanying the dividend checks
was complete financial statemen
covering the period from January !
1917, down to date.

erations, officials see no reason why
the output should not continue at high

RARE SPECiM EN-.
Large Chunk Of Slickenside Taken
From the Hercules.

Yesterday Irving Anderson, engin-
eer for the Hercules Mining company,
exhibited a specimen Of slickenside
which had just been taken from the
mine and which is probably the most
remarkable specimen seen in this dis
trict. 1t Is about a foot in length,
about five inches at widest point and
two or three inches thick, practically
solid steel galena, also showing a lit
tie zinc. One side Of the specimen,
the slickenside, is as smooth as If cut
with a chisel and has, a polish that no
human process could give to a chunk
of dull lead. 1t was taken from one
side Of seam that extends through
the center of an ore body 30 feet wide.
The movement along this seam that
caused the slickensides was up and
down, and the tremendous pressure
represented by the smooth and highly
polished surface is beyond compre-
hension.

WESTERN UNION.
Eight Inches of Clean Ore Reported
in East Drift.

About two weeks ago stringer of
galena made its appearance in the
east drift of the Western Union, which
was formerly known as the II, Il. 4 M,
and Aurora. Since then it has wild
ened until there was reported last
Tuesday to be fully eight inches of
clean galena in the face This ore is
in what was formerly the Aurora, and
the conditions surrounding its occur
renee are regarded very favorable to
commercial ore body, The drift has
not yet reached the objective point
and the appearance of this ore is high
ly encouraging.

OLD VETERAN.
Drive Crosscut to Footwall With
Good Chance for Orc Shoot.

Go0d Chance tor Oro onoot.
Owing to the high cost Of mining
the Old Veteran Mining company sus-
pended work about May 1. Since that
time thorough inspection of the
property has been made and the pros
pect OF finding commercial ore is re-
garded so favorable that the directors
have decided to drive crosscut from
the main drift to the footwall. The
ledge Is large and in extending the
drift It seems to have steadily diVerg-
ed from the foot. In the upper tunnel
the ore showing lies along the foot
wall and stringers and other features
indicate that this is the case in the
lower tunnel. Work has therefore been
started at q point about 300 feet back
from the face Of the drift. where the
ore showing is the best and a crosscut
will be run to the foot wall, which Is
estimated to be about 70 feet away. If
this should disclose a commercial ore
body, its development will be contln-
ued. II not, then 1t Is probable that
work will be suspended until condi-
tions are more favorable for explora
tory work. The company has suffl
cient supplies on hand to complete
! this crosscut.

During the past year the remaining

LATEST NEWS OF The WAR

There has been no let up as
yet in the German drive south
from the Aisne and both the
French and the British have
been forced to give further
ground. Confidence is expressed
in Paris, however, that the al

enemy advance.
Apparently the Germans al
ready are being held in the cen
ter of their advance, along the
Vesle river, in the vicinity of
Fismes, where the point of the

When 1 entered a room filled with
British officers yesterday afternoon,
they spontaneously broke out in
storm of hand clapping. They had
just heard that the Americans had
taken Cantigny and it was their way
of showing their pleasure.

situated on a spur about $50 feet
above the valley of the Avre, below

most important points in this part Of
the line.
"Hello! This Is Cantigny.'
Back at headquarters, when the
boys went over, officers waited
anxiously for news of the attack. At
voice came over the field telephone:
| Hello, This is Cantigny" and

had taken one of the most important
towns on the Amiens front and had
