HILL MINING COMPANY.
Crosscut Nearing the Vein-Will Ex-
tend Lower Tunnel.

Josiah Hill, one of the pioneers OF
the district, came up from Kellogg
yesterday on a brief business visit,
Mr. Hill is the largest stockholder in
the Hill Mining and Milling company,
which is developing a group of claims
on Slaughterhouse gulch, near Kel-
lCgg. The property joins the East
Caledonia on the east and covers the
same vein for the length of two claims
or 5000 feet. Mr.. Hill secured the four
claims constituting the group over 20
years ago. A few years ago he organ
lied the Hill company and the work
Of development has been going on al
most continuously. A crosscut has
been run 900 feet which will cut the
vein ait a depth of about 500 feet. A
few months ago work was transfer
red to an old prospect tunnel, which
is now being run to the vein and will
give a depth of about 1875 feet. This is
for the purpose of determining the
dip Of the vein as guide for the ex-
tension of the lower tunnel. 1t is ex-
pected that the vein will be cut in the
upper tunnel in about 10 or II feet,
when work will be resumed in the
lower tunnel. Mr. Hill describes the
outcrop of the vein as one of the best
in the district, showing values in lead
and silver.

CONGRESSIONAL CLUB.
Prepared to Assist Young Women
Seeking War Service.

The Miner has received letter
from Mrs. Burton l.. French, wife of
the congressman from the northern
district of Idaho, in which she re-
quests publication of the following in
formation:
"The members Of the Congressional
club, consisting of the wives of sena-
tors and representatives in congress,
realizing the loneliness of many young
women coming to Washington for war
service work, and the great difficulty
they encounter in obtaining suitable
housing accommodations, are desirous
of getting into friendly and helpful
touch with them.
"a representative has been appoint
eL from each state delegation to give
publicity to this activity on the part
of the Congressional club and with
this in view, am inviting your atten-
ton to the matter.
Il would suggest that any young
woman coming on for government SER
vice should communicate, by letter or
wire, with the Congressional club, 2001
New Hampshire avenue, Washington,

accommodations"

FOOD SAVING REGULATIONS
BEING IGNORED BY MANY.

More stringent measures should
be adopted to enforce the govern
ment regulations for saving food.
particularly flour ana sugar. Gro
GERS report that almost daily GUS
toners insist on buying more than
the regulation amount and grow in
dignant when refused. They also
rebel against buying the substitutes,
and frequently leave without be-
ing served with the final retort that
they can get it somewhere else. And
there is reason to believe that they
do get 1t somewhere else and if so
1t is evident that some merchants
are equally guilty in violating the
food regulations. This is a most
serious offense on the part of both
the customer and dealer, and every
loyal citizen should make ii his
business to report any case of this
kind, or any well grounded sus-
picion he may have, to the local
food administrator or to a member
of the county council of defense.

THE MORNING.
Company Has Employment for is
More Men of Right Kind.

Upon resumption of operations a
few weeks ago at the Morning, the
discrimination in the selection of men,
a wise policy that has been generally
adopted by the large companies in this
district since the war. AS the Morn
ing employs about 600 men under nor
may conditions, the task of securing a
full force in a short time has proved
rather difficult. At this time there Is
work for probably $50 more men. The
mill is handling about 1000 tons of ore
per day, which is about two-thirds of
Its capacity.

Looks Like Big Mine.

While the company is not planning
at~this time on any extensive develop
ment except on this level, when the
time comes to go deeper the condi-
tons are most favorable. The Sher-
man company's lease and bond in
cludes the right to use the old Hidden
Treasure tunnel, the portal Of which
is back of the old Tiger mill. This
would give an additional depth of 500
feet. Another feasible plan would be
to open the ground through the Stand
ard Mammoth workings, from which a
crosscut will soon be extended to ex-
plore ground adjacent to the Sherman.
This would probably give a depth of
1000 feet below the present workings.

Soon Ship Ore.

A few months ago the general man
agement of the Sherman was taken
over by James f. Callahan, who de-
termined to further develop this ore
shoot while continuing the exploratory
work having in view the location of
che ore body in the Oreano crosscut on
this level. The Sherman lies easterly
of and joins the Tamarack & Custer
and the theory is that it has both the
Tamarack and Custer veins. If this is
correct the ore shoot which is now at
tracing much attention is probably
the Tamarack and the one in the Ore
ano crosscut which is still being
sought below is the Custer From par
ties who recently visited the Sherman
it is learned that this ore shoot is
much more extensive both in length
and width than heretofore indicated.
At one point crosscut shows it to
be IS feet wide, with 6 or s feet of
shipping ore. The balance of the ore
Is of milling grade andscarries more or
less zinc. Slopes are now being open
cd and three chutes being put in, pre-
paratory to making shipments The
depth of this tunnel level gives reas-
enable assurance of extensive stopping
ground above, while the possibilities
of ore development below are very
great

BIG SHERMAN ORE SHOOT
SOON BEGIN SHIPPING
REPORTED" 18 FEET WIDE WITH
MUCH HIGH GRADE-DEEP
DEVELOPMENT

Recent work by the Sherman De-
Nelopment company, near Burke, has
resulted in greatly enlarging the ore
shoot developed soon after this COM
pany began operations in the old
Union workings. After taking bond
and lease on the property the Sher-
man company drove crosscut from
the Oreano into the Union ground
where fine body Of ore, both lead and
zinc, was encountered. After proving
this for several hundred feet, work was
transferred to the old Union tunnel
about 500 feet below and at a depth of
almost 1000 feet from the surface.
This work soon disclosed an import
ant ore shoot which was proved for
probably $50 feet along the drift and
by a raise of 80 feet, which showed
the ore body IA feet wide.

Wolfe, OF Dallas. chairman Of the
statewide prohibition committee, has
given out to the press OF Texas a
statement praising Gov. ". P. Hobby
and the legislature for passing and
signing laws pertaining to the Whis-
ky question and having ended the
liquor traffic in Texas"
Air. Wolfe says governor Hobby Is
entitled TO the confidence and sup
port Of all loyal citizens The text
Of the statement follows:
Governor Hobby and the special
session OF the legislature have ended
the liquor traffic in Texas
Five separate and distinct liquor
laws have been passed by the legis-
lature and signed by governor Hobby.
Beside these. the legislature ratified
the constitutional amendment look
ing 10 nationwide prohibition
"First-The ten mile zone law Gre
ating dry zones around all army
camps in Texas.
~Second-The law prohibiting the
Issuance Of liquor licenses outside Of
an incorporated town.
'sThlrd-The bookkeeping bill pro-
viding severe penalties for selling
without license.
''Fourth-The reenactment OF the
Allison law and Incorporating the
principle features OF the Webb-Ken-
yon act prohibiting the transporta-
ton Of any kind OF liquors into dry
territory.
.Fifth-The statewide law prohib-
ting the manufacture. sale. and
transportation OF intoxicating liquors
anywhere within the state OF Texas.
"All Of these laws are cumulative
and re-orce each other with the
distinct provision that II the courts,
for any reason, should declare one
shall remain in fun force and effect.
Some Of these laws may be at
tackled in the courts. However. IL
seems certain that enough OF the pro-
visions Of the different laws viii
hold good to effect the finish OF the
liquor traffic in this state
It IS the deep conviction OF many
that this IS the best fob OF liquor
legislation ever recorded by any state
in the union.
This splendid achievement. for
which the prohibitionists in Texas
have been fighting for many years.
should bring 1Ov and gratitude TO the
hearts Of hundreds Of thousands OF
Teas most progressive citizens.
1.-THE credit for this remarkable
victory is due largely to governor
Hobby. BY calling the special ses-
sion OF the legislature and submits
ting the question OF liquor legisla-
ton. he made It possible for the pro-
he coveted goal which Il would have
