MINING NEWS
+ 81 - ~ ****I'
By frank d. Hills,
in Miami Record Herald

The SouthexR Lead and Zinc Com
pany has star 4 a movement toward
the promotion pf the comfort of the
employees ut That plant, seven good
two room houtes having been con-
structed in the last few weeks, which
are only the beginning Of the cam
paign to make life worth living for
the miners.
The next move on the part Of the
company will be to build q mess
house which is to be up-to-date in
every way and, for the benefit Of the
workmen exclusively. Baths and other
modern conveniences will be added in
time and q deep well that is being
drilled at present will supply water to
the community, thus doing away with
the unsanitary water barrel.
The Southern Company is to be con-
graduated on the step taken which is
absolutely in the right direction if
good men are to be kept on the job
at all times, it having been found that
the men respond to good treatment
and remain where they can get it.
The Walker Mining Company has
developed the lower run of ore in the
ground at the mill on Tar Creek elev-
en- drifts having been cut in the last
few months, all of which are in good
stuff. The work is all being done on
the 230 foot level, which is the aver
age depth in that rich section Of the
field.
Work has been discontinued at the
shafts on a forty acre tract adjoining
which also belongs to the Walker
Company the output of which has
been trammed to the mill heretofore,
as the shafts at the mill site are cap
able of supplying the plant for a
single shift, which is about all that
can be run at present with the limited
supply of labor.
The Walker is one of the steady
sort of mines, nothing sensational
just an inexhaustible supply Of rich
lead and zinessst that is as-good as
wheat in the bin and a mill that is
capable of getting it out.

and forward in every activity that
had for its object the welfare of his
community and section of the state,
and has always been leader. This
is not only .rue of previous to the

since the commencement of the war,
including all kinds of war work.

an active member while 1t had COM
mission from the state When 1t
went into federal control Mr.. Hoss
was beyond the age limit and could
not stay in the organization and on
that account received an honorable
discharge.
"Mr. Hoss, by reason of being a
resident of an adjoining and sister
county. has always been and is now
closely in touch with Thurston coun-
ty affairs AMI is one of our truest
friends. Especially is this so of the
southern end Of the county. I trust
the people of this county will show
their appreciation by giving him
large support, and in doing that they
will also be complying with the wish
of the president, that he have con-
gresham that will be all fours with
him on every one of his policies, not
only including the war policies but
also the peace policies that must nee
essarily come with the ending of the
war, and all of the forward things
that it means. !
