Old Hickory Cuts
Two-Foot Vein

Oscar Nordquist, manager of the
oid Hickory Mining company,
came down from the property YES
terday, bringing with him samples
or ore encountered the first of the
week. The ore is quartz thoroughly
impregnated with galena, with
frequent lunches and stringers of
galena, having that light cast that
suggests high value in silver. In
TACT, there are particles here and
there that have the appearance of
native silver. The samples repre-
sent a vein about two feet thick
but it is not believed that it is
the main vein. It's course is differ
ent, having the appearance Of be-
ing an offshoot connecting with
the vein to the west. Shortly after
beginning work in the crosscut a
similar mineralized vein was cut
being about ten feet wide, and
having the same course. Numer-
GUS slips have been cut, followed
by an excessive flow of water
which would gradually subside
The theory is that these connect
with the main vein, from which
comes the mineral described. Ac-
cording to the survey the vein
should be cut in about 40 feet and
the crosscut is being extended with
the full expectation of encounter
ing it. There is of course a possi-
bility that the vein just cut is the
true vein, but Mr.. Nordquist and
others who have examined the con-
dition are of opinion that it is still
ahead. In any event the showing
is very flattering for body of
high grade ore such as made the

Urge Quick Action
on Assessment Law

A Washington dispatch Tuesday
stated that the senate had passed
a resolution suspending assess
ment work on mining claims in
Alaska for four years beginning
with 1917. over six months ago the
senate passed a similar resolution
applying to mining claims in the
United States, extending the ex-
emption until the end of the year
following the conclusion of peace.
This would appear to include
Alaska also. but evidently
there is some special reason for
action applicable to that ter
ritory. The conditions that
make the exemption necessary in
Alaska apply with equal force to
the mining states Of the west, a
fact that was fully recognized by
the senate when the exemption
resolution was passed six months
ago. 1t is now up to the house to
give the mining interests the re-
quired relief, but owing to the op-
position of the chairman of the
committee on mines and mining,
1t is not likely that any action will
be taken unless pressure is brought
from the mining industry. Action
should be taken by commercial
bodies Of the state and particularly
by the Idaho Mining association,
which has a Representative at
Washington.

Lrank j. Davey returned from
the Tarbox Tuesday afternoon,
where he had been since Saturday
In response to inquiry, he stated
that the east drift on the 1000 level

A crosscut Is now being run near

When he left this had proved the
ore to be 32 feet wide and the face
of the crosscut was still in ore.
The entire body is Of good milling

BIG CREEK COMPRESSOR
DESTROYED BY FIRE
LOSS is COVERED BY INSURANCE
STEPS TAKEN TO RESTORE
PLANT.

A fire Monday night destroyed the
compressor building of the Big Greek
Mining company, together with all
contents. In addition to the compress
sor the building also contained the
blacksmith shop and dry room. 1t
is believed that the compressor can
be restored for use again, but with
this exception practically the entire
contents of the building were destroy
ed. These included two machine
drills, the electric motor, numerous
blacksmith and machine shop tools
and other usual equipment. The build
ing was insured for $500 and the con-
tents for $4,000. which it is believed

MINER VS. HOMESTEADER
FORMER WINS CASE
VALID MINERAL DISCOVERY SUS-
TANNED BY THE SECRETARY
OF INTERIOR.

The secretary of the interior, un-
der date of January 10, handed down
a decision in the case of A. ID. Bur-
row vs.. William r. Spears, being a
contest over the right to about 15
acres of land upon which had been
filed both mineral and homestead
claims. The case turned upon the de-
termination of the character of the
land, mineral or agricultural, and
specifically the validity of the miner
al discovery Of the owner of the min
ing claims. The decision of the Sec
retary sustains the contention of the
miner, A. D. Burrow. The ground in
controversy is situated few miles
south Of Medimont Although the
claims of miners and homesteaders in
/ that vicinity have occasionally clash
ed heretofore, and have been fought
out in the land department this Is
the first case in which the miner came
out victorious
Lost in Local Land Office.
The issue was raised a year ago
last August when William II. Spears
submitted final proof for his home

flee at Occur d'Alene his filing in
Guiding about Is acres held as mining
claims by A. d. Burrow, an employe
al the Hecla mine. Mr.. Burrow filed
protest against issuance of patent
t. the homestead. A hearing was held
by the local land office, in which Mr..
Burrow was represented by Therrett
Towles, attorney Of this city. The
homestead entryman was represented
by c. II. Potts, of Occur d'Alene. Ex-
pert testimony was introduced to
prove the character of the land. TO
prove his contention that the land in
controversy Is mineral and that his
claims were based upon a valid min
era discovery, Mr.. Burrow was sup
ported by the testimony of Sidney l..
Shonts, mining engineer of this city,
and w. f.. Herrick, county assessor
and a mining man of wide experience
a practical miner and former owner
of the claims. In support of the claim
Of Mr.. Spears that the land was nom
mineral, John H. Nordquist, mining
engineer of this city. testified; also
Timothy Mccarthy, homesteader
and a man Of extensive experience in
mining in the Occur d'Alenes. The
decision of the register and receiver
Of the local land office was in favor
of the homesteader.
Appeal to Commissioner.
Mr.. Towles, attorney for Mr.. Bur-
row, at once prepared an appeal to
the commissioner of the general land
office A decision was rendered last
May by the commissioner in which the
local land office was reversed, After
reviewing the case at some length, the
commissioner said:
"The record has been carefully eX-
amined in connection with your said
decision. AS shown by diagram, Ex-
bibit A, of the homestead entry, the
miner claimant has evidenced his
faith and confidence by driving some
$50 feet of tunnel since he became in
