in general toward Sunset. How far
this crosscut was run Is not known
definitely, but it's extension to the
Sunset would not involve running
much If any further than would be re-
quired in the extension Of the Sun
shine. 1t is understood that this plan
will receive consideration from Sena-
tor Clark and that arrangements could
be made for it's adoption If he prefer
red it rather than the Sunshine.
An Important Enterprise.
But the main point in which the
public is interested is that Senator
Clark is preparing to place the Sun
set mine in the producing class and in
doing so much other ground of proved
mineral value will be developed also.
A great consolidation is now being
worked out with the Sunshine hold
ings as a nucleus and which will In
clude the Tuscumbia, Toughnut, Idora
and possibly the Parrot and Portland
groups, the latter joining the Sunset.
The men who will control this propos-
ed consolidation are also the domin-
ating factors in the Ray Jefferson,
and whether Senator Clark joins in
driving the big crosscut to his prop
erty or not, the intermediate consoli-
dated ground will be explored and
developed. But it is reasonably GER
in the enterprise, as it affords the on
ly logical outlet to the Sunset mine
and will divide the expense.

WASHINGTON.
Crosscut Is Reported Nearing the
Vein-let New Contract. /.


Vein-let New Contract. 1.
John Finley, of Burke, manager Of
the Washington Mining company, was
III the city yesterday. The property
of the company is near the head of
Granite creek Work has been going
on steadily all winter, a crosscut be-
ing run under contract. This crosscut
Is now in upwards of 500 feet and ac-
cording to survey the vein should be
cut in As or SO feet. The depth at the
point of intersection will be about $50
feet and much confidence Is felt that
ii will show a shoot Of ore. A con-
siderable distance back blind lead
was cut upon which drift was run
about As feet. This shows up very
encouraging and will be further ex-
plored after the main vein is reach
ed The appearance of much quartz
in the crosscut and other changes in
the formation indicate that the vein
is not far away. The contract is just
about completed and another will be
let for 100 feet.

BIG CREEK ORE SHOOT
NOW 1870 FEET LONG,
ANOTHER CAR OF ORE.

Within the last few days the
west drift of the Big Creek Min
ing company has been extended 80
feet and a report direct from the
mine yesterday stated that the
showing in the face was probably
the best that has been exposed
The ore shoot has now been proved
for a distance of 1S0 feet, with
fine showings of ore in the faces
of both the east and west drifts
Slopes have been opened for dis
tance of 100 feet and STOPPER was
added to the equipment this week
making two of this type of machine
drills now being used. The ore in
the stope as we'll as that in the
face of the drifts is both galena and
gray copper, first one and then the
other predominating, When the
recent shipments were made early
in the month G. Scott Anderson,
president and manager of the COM
pany, stated that he expected to
ship two more carloads before the
end of the month. Tuesday he
stated that a carload of ore had
then been taken out and that he
had no doubt that the second would
be out in time for shipment in ac-
cordance with his prediction. Now
that a great and wonderfully rich
ore shoot has been proved, the
problem of more rapid and econ
omical means Of transporting the
ore to the railroad will probably
soon receive the attention of the
management.

AMAZON DIXIE.
Contract for Sinking Shaft Is Nearing
Completion.

George Sparenburg, who has a con-
tract for sinking the Amazon Dixie
shaft was in the city the first of the
week. He stated that work was pro-
ceeding very satisfactorily and that he
expected to have his contract COM
pleted about the first of May. The
total depth of the shaft will then be
approximately AGO feet, after which a
crosscut will be run to the vein. The
ore shoot has been proved for a
length of 900 feet in the main tunnel
and also for several hundred feet on
the shaft level 200 feet below. 1t Is
expected that an equally satisfactory
showing will be found at 400 feet
Above the main tunnel there is contin-
uous ore to the surface. Wesley
Everett, manager of the Amazon
Dixie, is expected home this week, he
and his wife having been in the east
for several weeks.

SHORTAGE OF LABOR is
GROWING MORE ACUTE
THROUGHOUT DISTRICT.

The manager of one of the big
producing mines stated this week
that the labor shortage continues
to grow more serious throughout
the Occur d'Alene district. At this
time he estimated that the shortage
amounted to not less than 1000
men. The greatest difficulty is in
getting experienced miners, but the
shortage also includes common la
Dor. Various causes contribute to
bringing about the condition and
it is not likely that there will be
relief until the close of the war; in
fact, the prospect is that the stu
alton will become even more
serious. The war has taken hund-
reds of men from the district and
will take many more. The ship
yards on the coast have undoubt-
edly attracted many skilled and un-
skilled men who might otherwise
have been attracted by the high
wages paid in the mines. The gov
ernment needs the metals produced
by the Coeur d'Alene mines, and
the time may come soon, If it has
not already, when work in the lead
and zinc mines may be regarded as
ground for exemption from the
draft. There Is less non -produc-
tive mining going on in the dis
trict now than there has been for
many years, and it is among the
possibilities that there will be
forced suspension of all this class
of work in order to provide men for
the producing mines.

MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Miner Employed at Sherman Mine
Loses His Hand.

A few days ago miner, whose name
could not be learned employed at the
Sherman met with a mysterious acci-
dent which will cost him the loss of a
hand. He drew some primers out Of
missed holes and was carrying them
out, when cap on one of them ex-
ploded, badly mutiliating his hand.
The cause of the explosion Is mys-
terry, but the most plausible theory is
that fuse was defective, but was
still burning; that the fire finally
passed the defective point and then
quickly burned down to the cap.

First Carload OF Ore Was Shipped
Last Tuesday.
N. c. Sheridan, who has a lease on
the upper workings of the Rex mine,
shipped the first carload of ore last
Tuesday. The ore was taken from
the lead shoot to which reference was
made in the issue of this paper two
there were 10 or II carloads of ore in
sight and subsequent work seems to
bear out this estimate. There is also
a shoot of zinc ore that will yield a

Donate above that promises additional

PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT.
Psrty-ens Million Pounds contraessd

o. II. Liebers, head of the Pinto

tration. has contracted forty-one mil.
lion pounds of beans from growers in
Colorado. New Mexico and adjoining 6
states. This amount IL considered to
be at least 80 per cent OF total amount
available. Contracts are coming In
daily from growers and all indics-
tions are that the division will got at
least 96 per cent of the 1917 crop of
Pinto beans still unsold
One million pounds OF extra choice
seed has been stored at the following
points: Denver. Greeley. Trinidad.
Clayton. New Mexico and Albu.
QuerQue. New Mexico. This seed will
be sold to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight. cost OF storage, In.
surance and other Incidental sx-
penses. The price should not exceed
S9.15 per cwt. For this. the grower
is getting an unusual quality OF dry
land Pinto beans. recleaned and well

Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment as
ANHo"Ss ~ caro- " ooSNou, oU cars
to New York City. so cars to Phlladel.
phia and so cars to Chicago. These
shipments will average $4,000 pounds
per car. The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
as fast as they can get equipment and
orders for them from the eastern mar
kets. II should be noted that this Is
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to these eastern con
Stunning centers. After the Food Ad.
ministration gets through placing this
years crop on the market, the east
will be as familiar with the Pinto
bean ss 1t is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
