Following the raise of wages in
Butte the other day, an investigation
was started to determine whether or
not profiteering was being practiced
'by dealers in living necessities, by ad-
.vancing prices corresponding to the
wage increase. The investigation was
started by the Anaconda Standard and
|resulted in the collection of much in
formation concerning extortionate
dealing and attempts to control food
prices. The situation was so serious
that the matter was called to the at
tention of the governor, who has or
dered the state efficiency and trades
commission to make a thorough In
vestigation. which Is now in progress.

SILVER ON BIG CREEK
GETS MUCH ATTENTION
RICH SECTION TO BE ENTERED
BY NEW coMPANY-LoCAL
AND SPOKANE MEN.

With the increasing demand for sill
yer and the consequent high price for
the white metal, prospectors and min
ing engineers are turning their atten-
tion to the silver bearing districts in
the Coeur d'Alenes as never before.
The Big Creek section, from where the
Yankee Boy, Polaris and Big Creek
Mining company, have been shipping
some of the highest grade silver pro-
duct ever sent out from the Coeur
IdAlenes, is attracting special attention
at this time and several new compan-
les are preparing to undertake extern
sive development work on some known
silver bearing veins in that section.
New Big Creek Company.
>One of the new corporations to en-
ter that field is the Sterling Silver
Mountain Mining Company, Limited
composed of some well known local
mining men, associated with Spokane
business men. This company has ac
quired title to the Lora group located
a short distance from the Yankee Boy
and Polaris groups. Two well defin-
ed veins have been opened on the pro-
perty, carrying exceptional values in
silver, the formation being identical
Big Creek section. The new company
will prepare at once to drive a lower
crosscut tunnel to open the surface
showings at a depth of 500 to 700 feet.
Machinery will be installed to handle
the work, electric power being avail
able.
May Be Mother Lode.
The Lora group was located by
Harry Morrell, well known mining
man of the district and one of the
owners in the Big Creek Leasing
company, operating the Yankee Boy.
Morrell has spent several years in
prospecting Big creek. being of the
same opinion as others that mother
lode exists in that section somewhere.
From surface indications, where the
ledge shows width of over 20 feet
he believes he has found the parent
ledge in the Lora group and will be
actively associated with the new
company in the development Of the
property. D. w. Price, president Of
the Big Creek Leasing company, and
well known. operator of the district,
was associated with MIR. Morrell in the
control of the property prior to turn
ing the holdings over to the new
company. Mr.. Price who retains a
heavy interest in the new company,
has great faith in the future of the
Big creek section and states he ex-
poets to see that part of the Occur
d'Alenes become one of the leading
silver producers of the northwest
lncorporators.

1t will be recalled that following the
demands made by the union, Robert
M. McWade conciliation commissioner

time endeavoring to bring the union

the first of the month he stated that
he would return on July 25 and renew
his concilation efforts. A few days
before his departure, acting upon the
