Crosscut to the South Reported Near
ina the Vein.

The crosscut that Is being run from
the main tunnel Of the Chicago -Bos-
ton south Is expected to cut the vein
in about 35 or 40 feet at depth of
probably 400 feet. 1t is said that the
outcrop of this vein is about IL feet
wide and throughout carries a low
of lead. 1t is Independent
of the other known veins on the prop
erty, and the result of this crosscut is
therefore a matter of unusual inter-
est. This is the only work now 60
ing on at the Chicago Boston, but it
is believed that soon after the return
of G. w. Newton, manager of the In
terstate callahan, who is directing
the work, the shaft will he unwater-
ed and development will begin there,
probably both by sinking and drifting
on the ore exposed on the 100 and
200 levels. However, there is no def
mite information regarding the plans
of the management at this time.

MEN STILL IMPRISONED
IN THE HUNTER MINE

At the hour of going to press all
efforts to rescue p. P. Grant and
Emil Sayko, miners caught in a
cave-in at the Hunter mine, had
been unsuccessful. Under the
personal direction of Manager G.
L. Herrick, every resource Of the
company is being used to locate
the men. The accident occurred
between 10 and II o'clock last
Saturday and the work of raising
to the level to relieve the men has
been going forward with the
greatest possible speed, but at the
best it is slow work. Saturday
night tapping sound was heard
which indicated the men were
alive and sending signals. No
further sound was heard until
last night, when the tapping was
again heard, which revived hope
that the men are both alive. The
chief difficulty is the fact that it Is
impossible to tell in what part of
the stope the men are located,
and to overcome this Manager
Herrick has asked the bureau of
mines to send geophone and a
man who understands using it. 1t
is an instrument that came into
use during the war to detect the
sound of underground operations
on the western front in France.

The American Legion
Goes After |. W. W.

A meeting has been called by
Herschel V. Edwards post, Am
erican Legion, to be held in the
Eagles hall next Sunday at 1890
for the purpose of devising ef-
fective plans for combating the
l. w. wv. 1t is expected that ex-
service men from all parts of the
district will be in attendance, and
that a definite plan of action will
he worked out which will prove an
important factor in freeing this
county Of the l. w. w. menace. In
this work the American Legion is
displaying the same spirit that
actuated them in lighting the
Huns and the same fate awaits
the wobblies when the ex-soldiers
are on their trail. H. j. Hull,
prosecuting attorney; Jesse Free
man, sheriff, and j. D. Foster, of
the state constabulary, will be in
attendance at the meeting Sun
day, and will welcome the coop
Grafton of the soldiers in bring
ing the criminal gang to justice.
The problem of eXterminating the
|. W. w. is the most pressing now
confronting the people, and every
good citizen must give all efforts
in that direction their most earn
est support. John H. McEvers,
commander of the Herschel "
Edwards post, announces that
there will be a meeting of ex-ser-
vice men employed at the Inter-
state Callahan and Tamarack
mines at Interstate this evening
for the purpose of enrolling mem
bers in the American Legion and
to urge them to attend the meet
ing Sunday.

GIANT LEDGE.
Report That High Grade Struck IN
Drift on 400.

Drift on 4O0.
An unconfirmed report was received
Yesterday that the Giant Ledge COM
pany, operating near the mouth OF
Granite creek, above Murray, had
struck ore that carries $50 in gold and
also some values in lead. The report
is probably correct, but the figures
given may be little high, The COM
pany has been drifting westerly on
the 400-level to get under an ore
shoot exposed in an old shaft which
was sunk when the property was be-
ing developed solely for gold. 1t is
stated that in a drift from the SHAFT
there is a face of ore IL feet wide
that will average about SIT In gold
and that assays up to $72 have been
obtained. The drift that is being run
is still a considerable distance from
point under this ore. The strike has
been anticipated, but was hardly eX-
pected at this time. When Chas G.
TAYLOR, manager of the Giant Ledge,
was in wallace several weeks ago, he
stated that the ground was excess
lively hard and slow progress was
Ibeing made The drift is about $50
feet below the bottom of the shaft
and he expressed confidence in find
ing the ore fully as good as that
above.

Notice of appeal has been filed by
the defendants in the case of Peter
Bernier VS.. the Black Bear Mines
company, L. L. Brainard, H. ]. Ros-
81, A. d. Wallace and others. This
was an action brought by Mr. Ber-
pier to restrain the directors from
selling his stock for failure to pay
assessment. The case involved the
legality of the election of the three
directors named and therefore the
lgality of the assessment and also
the validity of Mr.. Bernier's claim
against the company for salary and
expense incurred as manager. The
decision of Judge Woods was in ia
vor of Mr.. Bernier, making the tenn
porary restraining order against SELL
ing his stock permanent, allowing his
claim against the company amount
ing to upwards of $4,000 and declaring
illegal the election of the defendant
directors. The filing of the appeal
indicates that .he deposed directors
are still in fighting frame and will
not be satisfied until the supreme
court has ruled on the case, which
may mean two years before decision
is rendered.

Morning Miners Make
From S6 to So a day

Underground men in the Morn
ing mine, owned by the Federal
Mining & Smelling company, are
making from Sc to IS per day mi
ming under the contract system,
with guarantee that their wages
will not fall below S5.25, the
standard underground scale. This
system has been adopted in all
parts of the mine with the eX-
ception of the 1900 level, and it
will he extended there as soon as
the ground is sufficiently opened
up. The men in the various slopes
work under the direction of cap
tain, who works the same as the
other men and receives extra pay.
The men ON each level are paid on
a basis of tonnage of ore mined,
All other men underground. such
as trammers, cagers, hoistmen,
etc, share in the increased pay
also, their pay being based on an
averagefor the month. 1t is stat
ed that the company finds that the
cost of mining under this system
Is no greater than when paying a
fixed rate per day, which Is eX-
planned in the increased amount
of ore produced by the same num-
her of men. The only objection to
the system seems to be in the fact
that the men are at times dis
posed to overlook safety first In
their eagerness to swell the tom
mage. The Morning now has al
most 400 men on the payroll and
the mill is running full time with
the exception of Sundays.

THE DOUGLAS MINE HAS

VENTS SALE OR PROFIT
ABLE OPERATION.

Under date OF November IL the OF
ficers of the Douglas Mining company,
Herman ]. Rossi, vice president ana
r. S. Clough, secretary treasurer, is
sued a letter to the stockholders, from
which the following is an extract,
Since our letter of March 20, 1919,
the property of your company mas
been inspected a number OF times by
prospective purchasers all of whom
were more than favorably impressed
with it, but, owing to lack of railroad
transportation, reduced price of zinc,
and complex treatment of ores, all

OF negotiating an attractive deal Tor
the stockholders.
1.-THE property is as completely
equipped as any mine can be, and II
would only be necessary to turn on
the electric juice to start the opera
tions. The ore reserves in the mine
can be broken and mined immedi-
ately if the market should happen to
change for the better.
Meanwhile the very valuable sur

Railroad Needed.
Like other mines on Pine creek, the
Douglas has been heavily handicap
ped through the absence OF railroad
TRANSFORMATION. While the market for
zinc has not been favorable since the
close of the war; this would probably
have not prevented the sale OF the
Inroperty If there had been a railroad
to the mine. Men representing large
capital have examined the mine wlth-
IN the last year, made favorable re-
norts on the mine itself, but turned
the proposition down because there Is
no railroad. The Anaconda company
is understood to have surrendered Its
lease and bond on the Douglas on ac-
oo,nt Of the failure of the O.-W X.

Vest Crosscut ls Encountering
Strinaers Of Ore.

One Of the miners employed by the
Columbus Mining company was III
the city last week. He reports the
west crosscut advanced about ID feet
since the resumption Of work few
weeks ago, and that the face now
shows stringers of quartz carrying
galena, varying from one to eigh'
inches in width, indicating the near
approach to the vein. The drift on
the first vein has been extended about
20 feet. When work was suspended
in the drift several years ago 1t mao
left the vein. The course has no"
been changed back toward the vein
the objective point being under
strong outcrop Of iron carrying more
or less lead silver ore. Five men are
employed and all supplies are on hano

Unlike some of it's contemporaries.
and particularly some Of its friends In
the mining brokerage fraternity, the
Miner freely admits that it has no,
sufficient information to justify 1t In
entering into a detailed discussion OF
the merits of the controversy, or to
make definite and positive forecast
of the final decision. About all that
this paper can say on the subject IS
that the Marsh company, operating
under a lease and prospecting ground
owned by the Federal company has
discovered vein believed to be the
extension Of the Tiger Poorman vein
on the Russell claim. This vein has
been followed for about 450 feet. For
the last so feet the vein is reported to
! have ore that assays from 30 to as
ounces in silver. per cent copper and
smaller percentage of lead The
vein is said to be in places feet
wide. with about 2ta feet of CONNER
cial ore The position of the vein near
the south side line of the Russell
claim. which is identical with the
north side line of the Consolidated
claim of the Hecla. its east and west
course and its dip to the south, it is
claimed, correspond to the east vein
Of the Hecla. Assuming that this Is
correct, the contention of the owners
of the Russell claim that they have
the apex of the Hecla vein would nat

will undertake to establish their right
to the ore in one Of three important
Hecla veins, by proving that the apex

cussion for the past two weeks, no
authentic information has been Ill
vuleed that would throw light on the
momentous issue. In fact, all parties
directly concerned in the controversy
decline to enter into any discussion Oh
the case. The Hecla company mas
been formally notified by the Marsh
and Federal companies that they
claim what is popularly called the
"east ore body" and warned the Hecla
against removing ore therefrom IL
was further learned this week that the
Federal company asked permission Oh
the HeCld company 10 pSlLill iuo O
glneers to make a survey and exam

pany, John p. Gray, who has been re-
tanned to conduct the Hecla case In
addition to Mr.. Gray the Hecla com
pany has also retained Fred Searls,

engineer, who was here for several
DAYS soon after the approaching It'll

believed that Rush ]. White, of this

for the Hecla. He was associated
with Mr.. Gray in the Star-Federal
