Two Hunter Miners
Soon to Be Rescued

The entombment of p. p. Grant
and Emil Sayko in the Hunter and
their final rescue without serious
injury, which now seems assured,
is without doubt the most remark
able case in the history of mine
accidents in the west. For solid
week they were locked in utter
darkness, hopeful of relief, but
fearful that it would never reach
them; without food for five days
and without water for four; final
ly encouraged by the sound of
workmen working as only men
can work when human life Is at
stake and then having this hope
swept away by another great cave
that demolished the work accom-
plished and imprisoned two of
their comrades who miraculously
escaped death. After week of
this torturing suspense, relief
came in an unexpected manner
through a diamond drill hole driv-
en- from above through so feet of
solid rock. This established
communication, gave assurance to
the imprisoned men of final res
cue, made it possible to supply
them with food and water, and
also. to provide them with an
abundance of silk with which to
wrap their bodies for warmth.
An electric bulb was dropped down
the hole to dispel the oppressive
darkness, and newspapers sent
them giving accounts OF their
great adventure and the measures
taken for their relief. With
everything possible done for their
comfort, Grant and Sayko are
waiting in good spirits for their
final relief, which will be accom-
plished through a raise that Is
being driven through solid rock
for distance of 80 feet The work
is being pushed with all possible
speed and should break through
about Sunday or Monday, making
the period of their entombment
two weeks and two or three days.

MINERS SHORT COURSE
IDAHO SCHOOL OF MINES
FOR PRACTICAL
INSTRUCTION AT STATE
UNIVERSITY.

The usual winter short course in
mining at the Idaho school of mines
at Moscow will open on January b
and it is expected that considerable
number will take advantage OF this
opportunity to receive lnStfuc-
ton in mining methods. The subjects
embraced in the course include fire
assaying, wet assaying, sampling, con-
centration, mining methods, flotatloh,
mineralogy, ore deposits and elemen-
tary geology Miners and millmen of
all ages and every variety of exper-
ence have taken advantage of this
course of eight weeks and have left the
school invariably better equipped for
their work and therefore having i'm
proved chances for promotion. Equip
ment at the school Of mines Is COM
,p,ete and modern in every particular
and instructors not only have the ne
cessary high technical training, but
are men of extensive practical eXper-
ience in the various branches of min
ing. There is no tuition fee, the only
cost to persons desiring to take the
course being living expenses.
Entrance Requirements.
In making the announcement Of the
opening of the course, Francis A.
Thomson, dean Of the school of mines,
says:
'TThe work of the mining short
course is invaluable to anyone inter-
ested in mining who has not had a
thorough technical training. The en-
trance requirements are simple. Ser
iousness of purpose, the ability to
read and write intelligently and to
work ordinary problems in arithmetic
are the qualifications. There is no age
limit"

Many Ex-Soldiers
are Being Employed

AS an evidence of the good work
being done by the central en-
ployment office in this city, it was
learned yesterday that since the
office opened 92 eX-soldiers of the
great war have applied and been
given employment in the mines
and mills served by the office. In
this connection Geo. 7. Edmiston,
manager of the office, authorized
the announcement that there is
plenty of work for miners and
muckers. Good men are always
wanted, men who can show a
clear record as citizens wherever
they have been and are seeking
employment in good faith. Wages
are good, $5.25 per day for all un-
derground men, and employees in
all departments at the mines and
mills are on an S-hour basis. The
working conditions are good, bet
ter in fact, than in any other min
ing district in the west. The en-
ployment office is proving its eff
ficiency in providing men, and is
also proving a convenience and
advantage both to the employers
and to the men seeking employ
ment. When men are wanted the
office is notified and men are plac-
ed without the necessity and eX-
pense of going to the mines in per-
son to apply for work.

Ed Ehrenbers Confirms Reports Of
This New Bonanza.
Reports Of the wonderful richness
and extent of the ore body discovered
in the Premier mine, on Portland
canal, in British Columbia, are con-
firmed by Ed Ehrenberg, who recent
ly returned from that section and was
in Wallace last Saturday. Mr.. Ehren-
berg and associates have secured an
option on a group of claims in the i'm
mediate vicinity which they hope to
develop into another Premier, but will
not attempt to do anything until next
spring on account Of the heavy snow
at this time which renders it imprac-
tical to take in supplies. Mr.. Ehren-
berg recently inspected the Premier
mine. The vein is from so to 100 feet
wide and values average from 60 to
100 ounces in silver and from l to 1R
ounces gold He took one sample
which he said returned 1900 ounces in
silver. Another tunnel has been start
ed which will cut the vein 700 feet be-
low the present lowest tunnel, and If
the great ore body Is found at that
depth maintaining its present values,
it will fully justify it's name, the
premier mine of the world.

ST. LAWRENCE COPPER
|. PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT
AMPLE FUNDS FOR ALL RE-.
QuiREMENTS AND TO PAY
OFF BOND.

Henry NJ. Lancaster, of Saltese,
manager of the st. Lawrence Copper
Mining company, accompanied by Mrs.
Lancaster, registered at the Samuels
last Monday afternoon. They return
ed home yesterday morning. Asked
regarding the report that the ST. Law
renee company had been financed to
an extent that insures its extensive
on plan heretofore out
lined, Mr.. Lancaster stated that it was
correct, and that in addition proyi-
sion had been made to clean up all
company obligations, including all pay
ments due under the bond. This last
statement is particularly interesting,
as the owners Of the st. Lawrence are
Angus and Dan j. Sutherland, of this
city, and Mr.. Lancaster's announce
ment means that they will soon re-
ceive payment in full for the prop
erty. Regarding resumption of work
on the st. Lawrence, Mr.. Lancaster
said that the heavy snow which pre-
walls in that section renders 1t i'm
practical to begin work at this time
and that nothing will be done until
spring.

WORK IN WALLACE PUB
Lie SCHOOL.

There was a large attendance at the
weekly luncheon of the board of trade
last Monday. The reports of commit
tees and addresses were on subjects
which are just now foremost in the
public mind, and they were received
as to the attitude toward them of
Wallace business men. John H. Nc
Evers, chairman of the special COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting
to draft resolutions expressing the
sentiment of the board of trade on the
Centralia murder of ex-service men
and toward the I. w. w. organization,
submitted the report of the commit
tee, which was unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically adopted. After review
ing the Centralia murder for which
the l. w. w. was held responsible and
the criminal record of the organiza-
ton, the brand of infamy was placed
upon it in the following resolution:
Members Pledge Support.
"Resolved, That the Wallace board
of trade go on record as denouncing
and condemning the so-called Indus
trial Workers of the World, an organ
ization conceived in the boldest and
most vicious n-Americanism, an or
ganization the very existence of which
is continuing menace to the welfare
of the United States, curse to every
community in which it is permitted to
manifest itself an insult to all loyal
Americans who aided or participated
in the great war; and desecration to
the memory of our country's soldiers
who gave their lives on the battle
fields of France;
"Be it further resolved, That this
resolution be given to the newspapers
for publication, and that the members
of this board of trade pledge their
support and cooperation to any and all
lawful movements which have as an
object the speedy and absolute exter-
mination. root and branch, of the l,

Salt Lake Station.

The metallurgical research station at
Salt Lake City is the largest and most
important in the west In 1918 1t was
made the headquarters for all ore
dressing work of the United States
bureau of mines and Mr.. Varley was
placed in charge as superintendent.
Under his direction new equipment
was added and machinery so arranged
to facilitate all ordinary test by con-
centration. The plant is now COM
plete in every department and it's
usefulness in serving the interests of
the mining industry has been firmly
established. The largest operators in
the west call upon this station to solve
their metallurgical problems, and they
avail themselves of the opportunity to
visit the station to witness the oper-
ations and to confer with experts in
the various metallurgical departments.
The ore dressing laboratories are
equipped to test ores by gravity con-
centration and flotation varying in
amount from sample of a few
pounds to several tons, the greater
number of tests being lots containing
only a few hundred pounds. Standard
mill machinery and equipment for all
purposes enable the station to make
tests ON practical basis. In addition
to the ore dressing laboratories, the
chemical and microscopic laboratories
are modern and up-to-date in every
particular.
Mr.. Varley and Mr. Wright attend
ed the recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining and Metallur-
,gical Engineers at Chicago, and were
also present at the dedication of the
bureau of mines research station at
Pittsburg, the greatest institution OF
it's kind in the world.

Will Drift East.

The st. Lawrence Is situated prac-
tically on the divide between Idaho
and Montana, the Richmond joining
1t on the west. The development Of
the property has been confined to the
west end, consisting of shaft and three
tunnels connected by raises. This
work has resulted in the production of
value in gold and quite extensive
shipments have been made in the ag-
gregate covering quite long period of
years. Since Mr.. Lancaster took hold
he has provided substantial buildings
for all purposes, all necessary equip
ment for development, built new
wagon road on an easy grade and has
low the former lower tunnel and made
connection by two raises The de-
velopment Of the vein on this level,
while encountering considerable ore
was not satisfactory, but it convinced
Mr.. Lancaster that theory he had
long entertained regarding the st.
Lawrence ore deposit was correct. The
financing of the company as stated
above is for the purpose of carrying
out this theory and Mr.. Lancaster is
confident that the demonstration will
prove it to be correct and make a

Top of Vein Displaced.

An exhaustive study of the st. Law
renee has convinced Mr. Lancaster
that the crest of the mountain which
forms part Of the divide, and in which
are the present st. Lawrence work
ings, was originally some 1000 feet
east of it's present location; that it
was literally broken off and pushed to
it's present position through the ire
sistible pressure of a great intrusive
dixie that Is the most striking geologic
feature just north OF the divide. The
contour of the hill in connection with
disclosures underground indicate the
movement of massive layers, the top
one pushed a little further than the
one below, the form suggesting the
familiar piles Of lumber in sawmill
yards, but with the projection of the
successive layers much more pro-
nounced. 1t is Mr.. Lancaster's belief
that No tunnel level practically
penetrated the bottom Of the st. Law
renee ore deposit as now known. His
plan therefore, Is to start where this
tunnel cut the vein and drift east, the
opposite direction, about POO feet,
where he expects to find the real ST.
Lawrence ore body in place. The
Pittsburg owners of the st. Lawrence
have subscribed 100000 to drive this
drift and 500 feet Of crosscutting af-
ter which Mr. Lancaster expects the
ST. Lawrence to be in position to pro-
vide funds for its own operation and
substantial profit to the owners in
addition.
