WEATHERHEAD RETURNS.
Has Been Engaged in the Shipyards al
Portland Since Last Fall.

John c. Weatherhead came up from
Portland last Monday to look after
mining interests and to take a brief
respite from the strenuous life in the
shipyards. Mr.. Weatherhead left here
last October and has since been con-
tinuously employed as a shipwright in
the Portland yards. From his descrip
tion of the work going on there under
pressure Of the demands of war, 1t is
evident that we in the interior with
all our reading have but faint con-
ception of the gigantic operations in
progress on the coast Mr.. Weather
head served an apprenticeship as car
penter and worked at the trade for
several years before engaging in min
ing, so when he went to Portland last
fall he found no difficulty In adapting
his hand to the work of shipwright
Men in the shipyards still receive high
wages, but the big pay checks of which
so much was heard in the early stages
of the work are no longer drawn, ow-
ing to the discontinuance of overtime
Mr.. Weatherhead owns the Pandora
group of copper claims. being the
eastern extension of the Snowstorm
and he will probably return to this
district when the kaiser is put out OF
business. He returned to Portland
yesterday.

DEATH OF "BILL' SUTHERLAND,
Pioneer Prospector Passes Over the
Last Divide.

! News was received this week of the
death of William Sutherland in hos
pital at st. Maries. He was a native
OF Virginia and was II years old when
his restless spirit found rest in the
sleep of death. He was a typical pros
pector of the old west, type that is
fast disappearing, for the conditions
which developed them no longer exist.
Few prospectors were better known
IN the early days of the Coeur d'Alene
district than "BilP' Sutherland, and
few if any made record of mineral
discovery equal to his. 1t was Bill"
sutherland who discovered the famous
Sunset vein and located the Sunset
mine, which he sold to Senator w. A.
Clark, of Butte, who still owns it.
Sutherland and his grubstake part
ners received $4,000 for the property,
which was regarded as a large figure
at that period Of mining development,
the time being 1885 or 1886 The on
ly value money had for "Bill' Suther-
land was in his ability to spend it,
hence the stake he secured through
the sale of the Sunset soon vanished
He was tireless prospector, and bar
ring the brief recuperative periods he
occasionally, spent in town, the next
heard of him was in 1888, when he
discovered the st. Lawrence, at the
head of Silver creek, six miles from
Saltese, which is now being operated
under the management of HI M. Ian
caster. He also located the adjoining
group of claims on the Idaho side of
the divide, which he called the Rich
mond, in honor of the capital of his
native state. This discovery drew
first attention to a copper section that
has since advanced to a position of i'm
portance in mineral production. At
the time of his death Mr.. Sutherland
owned two groups of claims in the
vicinity of Adair which he regarded
of great prospective value.

INSTALLING NEW HOIST
AND PUMP At NATIONAL
MUCH ORE BEING DEVELOPED
ON VARIOUS LEVELS OF
THE MINE.

New equipment now being installed
at the National will place the property
| in excellent condition for future oper-
alton. This consists of a new hoist
and an electric pump and it is ex-
Ipected that both of these will be in
operation within two weeks. The
present hoist station has been enlarg-
ed to meet the requirements of the
new zone, and the concrete founda-
tion is now being made for its accom-
mediation. On the 1900 level large
station has been cut for the electric
hoist, which will do the work of the
present air-driven pumps and will
meet all pumping demands for many
years. A new discharge column six
inches in diameter is being installed.
The new hoist and pump and all aux
iliary equipment for their operation
are on the ground and will be placed
in position as rapidly as possible, and
it is estimated that within two weeks
all will be in running order.
The mill is still running only one
shift while the new machinery is be-
ing placed in the mine. When this
work is completed another shift will
be added.and a little later it is ex-
pected that the mill will be running
full time.
Much Ore Available.
Development on various levels of
the mine is progressing with most sat
isfactory results. On the 400 level
fine body of ore is being stopped for
length of 1876 feet. On the 1900 a new
shoot of unusually good ore has been
opened which was overlooked in the
former work on that level On the
1000-foot level, which is identical
with the main tunnel level, new
stope has been opened in good ore. A
new level has been opened on the 900
which has disclosed good ore and a
chute is being put in to handle it. On
the 500 level mining has also been
started on a good body Of ore.
A station has been cut on the 1900
level, about 100 feet west of the shaft,
and here winze will be started as
soon as the new equipment Is in op-
Grafton. The west drift on this level
is also being extended on this level
and is developing considerable ore.

SHER MAN.
Raising From No. 5 in Good Body OF
Ore-Repairina No. 6.


From parties who have recently Wis
tied the Sherman, near Burke, form
erly known as the Union, 1t is learned
that the raise from No. 5 tunnel,
which will connect with the Oreano
level 500 feet above, is progressing
rapidly. It was started on a good body
Of ore and at the time of this visit
there was fully seven feet Of ore in the
top of the raise. The ore that is be-
ing taken out Is reported to run about
35 per cent lead and from Is to 20 per
cent zinc. In the tunnel 500 feet be-
low, the portal of which is back Of the
old Tiger mill, work is still confined
to repairing and getting 1t in shape
for development.

Brotherhood Will Suggest
Compromise to President

New York, Feb. 16.-An appeal
direct to President Wilson to inter-
vene in the strike of shipyard work.
ers engaged on government contracts
will be made to-day by the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, it was announced by officials of
the organization her" this morning.
Approximately fifty per cent. of
the shipyard workers in the New
York district are on strike to- day, ac-
cording to claims made by the broth
erhood officials. including I. NJ.
Guerin, member of the executive
committee.
Will Propose Compromise
The appeal to the President, Mr..
Guerin said, would suggest a COM
promise similar to that which was
effected last October between the
Government and navy-yard carpen-
ters who were then threatening to
strike.
At that time the navy yard work.
ers wanted $3.50 day, similar to
the wage which shipyard workers
are receiving on the Pacific Coast to-
day. Secretary Daniels and Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt called the
heads of the carpenters union into
conference at Washington, Mr.. Guer-
in said, and an agreement was
reached fixing an eight-hour day, a
wage of SASS, a o per cent, bonus
under certain conditions, and two
weeks vacation and all holidays with
! lpay-equivalent in all to $500 day.
Such a compromise now in favor
of the shipyard workers would be
acceptable. Mr.. Guerin declared.
Mr.. Guerin announced he had re-
ceived to-day a telephone message
from a shipbuilding corporation at
! Edgewater, n. j., saying it had set
| tied with its men on basis of $3.50
day pending an understanding be-
tween the Government and the ship
yard workers generally.
William l.. Hutcheson, president
of the brotherhood, said he had not
yet received the second telegram sent
to him yesterday by Chairman Hur-
/ ley. of the United States Shipping
Board, requesting him to direct the
men to return to work Until Mr..
kHurleys message reached him, ne
declared, he would not comment on
its text.
His appeal to the President to-
! day, Mr.. Hutcheson said. would ask
the President to persuade Chairman
| Hurley to formulate a memo rial, to
be presented to ship car yenters
throughout the country. setting forth
a minimum wage which the Govern
ment might be willing to pay.
Hurley Asked Agreement
Explaining this phase of the sit
uation, Mr.. Guerin said Chairman
Hurley desired to have the carpen-
ters sign an agreement that they
would abide by any wages which the
labor adjustment board might fix.
The carpenters would not sign such
a document, Mr.. Guerin asserted, at

Trotzky's Action Places
Germany in Predicament,
Is Washington Opinion

Washington, Feb. 16.-Offcial
Washington's opinion of Bolshevill
Foreign Minister Trotzky's decision
for no war and still no peace with
Germany is that TrotZky has placed
Germany in a military and diplo-
matte predicament.
Movements of German troops from
the Russian front have been stopped
and it is believed by military men
here that no further withdrawal of
forces can be made until Berlin de-
cideS on a policy toward the Boil
sheviki. Such official reports as have
been received do not say clearly
whether the rehabilitation of Rus
sian troops has been continued, but
they do indicate reorganization of
the Red Guard.
Germany, by repudiating the no.
annexation policy. officials here be-
lieve, has widened the breach with
the Socialists who cry for peace.
They also think Germany win be
forced to go TO the aid of the Ukrai-
mans if the Bolsheviki attack them.
