DEMAND SIX HOURS AND 81 PER

FOR ANSWER.

AS if the big strike staged for to-
morrow was not sufficient to afford
ample entertainment for the district,
about 100 employees of the Interstate
Callahan mine walked out this morn
ing. meeting was held yesterday
evening when a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon Manager Newton
and demand six hours a day from
portal to portal and 81 per hour for
this abbreviated shift. The commit
tee, however, seems to have lacked the
courage to present this demand in per-
son, so the information was conveyed
to the manager in a note left where
he would be sure to find it, Neither
did they wait for a formal reply to
the demand, probably and very prop
erly assuming that it would be
promptly denied. without hearing
from the management on the subject,
about 100 employees drew THEM time
This action is altogether independent
of the impending strike by the miners
union and indicates that the Inter

L. w. tSedman, manager of the
Paragon Consolidated Mining com
pany returned. to the property of the
company above Murray about two
weeks ago to arrange for a resump-

in the city last Tuesday and stated
that all machinery is in good shape
and everything about the Paragon is
in readiness to begin work and only
awaits orders from the eastern office
of the company, which are expected
any day Mr. Stedman says the first
work contemplated is to unwater the
shaft, which is so feet deep. and sink
200 or 300 feet further which will
permit opening the ore body on new
levels. From the upper workings of
the Paragon 27 carloads of concen-
trates have been shipped. Seventeen
of these were Zinc. some of them run
ming as high as SO per cent, although

NATIONAL.
Directors Expected to Meet and Con.
slider Future Of Mine.

Following the closing down of the
National mill, a few men were kept on
development work in the mine, this
being confined chiefly to the extension
Of the main tunnel in the hope of en-
countering a new ore body. The sus-
pension of work does not necessarily
mean that this hope has been aban-
doned. The company has quite large
balance in the treasury and it is un-
derstood that the management will
soon call meeting of the directors to
consider and decide upon plans for
future work. The action of the di.
rectors is purely a matter of conject-
ure, but in view of the labor shortage
and the high cost of carrying on de
velopment work, 1t Is regarded prob
able that they may decide to use n
diamond drill in continuing the searh
for new ore.

PLAN TO EXPLORE PROMISING
VIRGIN GROUND-BEGlN
WORK ON NOxON.

Samuel b. Holbert, of Pittsburg, ac-
companied by Mrs. Hobert was a
Wallace visitor last Monday, having
motored over the hill from Saltese,
Mr., Holbert is one of the large stock
/ holders in the st. Lawrence Copper
Mining company and he expects to be
joined by othe" large Pittsburg own
ers and together devote considerable
time to the inspection of the st. Law
renee mine and to the consideration
of plans for its further development
and operation. Under the personal
management of Henry NJ Lancaster
much important work has been ac-
complished during the last year or
two, resulting in showing up several
important ore shoots and also making
more accessible the known ore bodies
above No. 2 tunnel. This work, to-
gether with a close geological study of
the property, has convinced the man
agement that important ore bodies,
possibly the most important in the
mine, will be found easterly of the
present workings, where the company
has 1000 feet of virgin ground Work
has now or soon will be started to eX-
plore this ground by drifting from No
crosscut tunnel, which Is the main
outlet to the mine, This drift will at
tain a depth of about 500 feet Much
ore has been Shipnnl from thp old
workings, and it is understood that
much more is now available through
the more recent work under the di-
rection of Mr.. Lancaster If his the
orY proves correct, the new work now
to he carried out will make a large
addition to the resources of the St

STEWART MINING CO.
SOON Be PRODUCTIVE
NAeOB AND TUSCARORA MILLS
TO BE RUNNING BY SEP
TENDER IS.

The Stewart Mining company, for
many years one of the big dividend
payers of the Occur d'Alene district,
will soon be in the producing class
again with flattering prospects Of
entering upon another long period of
dividends, according to a letter from
j. E. Harrington, of New York, presi-
dent of the company, to the stockhold- =
ers under date of August l. The two
subsidiary companies of Stewart, the
Nabob and the Holden, are both near
ing the productive stage and it is an
nOunced in the letter that the two
mills under construction will be in
operation not later than September Is.
Both companies are reported to have
large ore bodies blocked out. The
Nabob company is operating on Pine
creek and the Holden at Tuscarora,
New. The letter from President Har-
rington follows:
To the Stockholders.
In the presidents report of 1918
the stockholders were advised of two
operations undertaken by Stewart Mi
ming company-one at Tuscarora,
New, and another upon the Denver
claims of the Nabob Consolidated Mi
ming company in the CoeuR d'Aenes,
Idaho Both developments have pro-
ceeded actively and successfully dur
ing the current year.
"The company was fortunate in ac-
curing the services, as western man
Griggs, for many years associated
with John Dern. of Salt Lake City,
Utah, in the operation of valuable mi
ming properties. Major Griggs has
given the company the benefit Of his
long technical experience in mining
and metallurgy and his earnest work
in our behalf can not be too highly
commended.
Profits in Nabob.
In the face of more than ordinary
the 150- ton mill at the Ma
bob mine has been completed and will
be in practical operation by the time
this letter is received by our stock
holders. The mill is modern in every
respect-equipped with efficient mill
ing machinery and capable of handl-
ing a daily output of $50 tons De-
velopment work upon the mine has
been satisfactory and the ore reserves
blocked out insure the profitable OF
Grafton of the mill. From the result
of this work, stockholders may reas-
onably expect the resumption of div
idends as soon as consistent with the
best interest of the company.
''Major Griggs has made a careful
detailed examination of the workings
in the old Stewart mine-the original
mine Of this company-and reports
that in his opinion the development
work upon adjoining properties makes
it highly probable that the old Stew
art vein, so richly productive can be
located by the expenditure of a small
of money in location and de-
work This has already
been undertaken and will be rrosecut-
ed with vigor, with an excellent
chance of success.

"At Tuscarora, the mill which Is be-
ing erected should be completed and
