SOLD SUCCESS LEASE.
Gardner Makes Nice Profit and Will
Now Turn to Oil.

NJ. f. Gardner this week sold his
lease on the old workings of the Sue
cess mine to Il. E. Deckard and John
Williams. The lease includes all the
ground from No. tunnel to the sur
face. Mr.. Gardner, with the assist
ance of his son, has been working the
lease for about IL months. During the
last two months one man in addition
was employed. During the II months
he shipped 10 carloads of crude lead
silver ore, from which the net returns
in round figures We're $4,000. The new
leasers are practical and experienced
miners and are in line to make a good
profit out of their operations Mr.
Gardner received news a few days ag,
that oil had been struck in a we'll in
which he is heavily interested which
is being sunk in Rosebud county. Mon
tana, near the Wyoming line The
company sinking the we'll is the one
represented here by Mr.. McGregor and
in which quite a number Of Wallace
people are interested. Mr.. Gardner has
another lease in view, but his plans
will be determined largely by the re-
suit of his oil investment.

BACK FROM THE ST. JOE.
Representative Of Dredging Company
Prospecting Ground.

Frank Rose returned from his placer
ground on the st. Joe last Tuesday af-
ternoon, having been called home on
account of the illness of his wife. He
went to his property about a month
ago, accompanied by Henry Sondereg
ger of this city, and also by S. H..
Hays, mining engineer of San Fran
cisco, who represents a large Califor-
mia gold dredging company. Mr.. Hays
is said to have had wide experience
in dredging operations in both Cali
fornia and Alaska He is making
preliminary investigation Of Mr..
Roses ground, and If the results are
satisfactory it is understood that other
parties connected with his company
will go in prepared to prospect the
ground thoroughly with the view to
placing a dredge on the property The
present purpose is to sink shafts to
bedrock, and much difficulty is being
experienced on account of the large
amount of water to handle with the
limited pumping facilities at hand. The
ground is what is commonly known as
the Sherlock placer, consisting of Il
claims, about five miles below ST. Joe
basin. Mr.. Roses return will depend
upon the condition of his wife.

NETHERLANDS ENGINEER.
lnspects Mines, Mills and Smelters Of
the District.

A. C. D. Bottle, a mining and metal
lurgical engineer connected with the
Dutch East India service, has been in
the city this week for the purpose of
inspecting the mining, milling and
smelling operations of the district, be-
ing commissioned to visit this country
by the Netherlands government. He
visited the iron mines of Cuba and
landed in the United States at New
Orleans From there he went to the
lead and zinc mines of oklahoma and
Missouri, thence to the iron ranges of
Minnesota. He spent several days in
Butte, coming from that city to Wal
lace. From here he goes to Utah, Col
oGado and Arizona, and thence to San
Francisco, where he will sail for Ba-
tavia, island of Java, the headquarters
OF the Dutch mining operations in the
East Indies. Mr.. Bottle was accom-
panied by his wife. He was greatly
impressed with the magnitude of mi
ming operations in America, and was
piofuse in expressions of appreciation
for the hospitality and courtesy with
which he had been received by the mi
ming fraternity.

OLD VETERAN BOOKS.
Difference Of Opinion as to Reasonable

one of the original owners of the Old

appears that the secretary of the COM

the time when 1t may be made. He is
in the county auditors of

He therefore insists that the examina-

not appear to be satisfactory to the

HYPOTHEEk.
President of Company Makes a Brief
Visit to Wallace.

Trestoeht OF company makes briet
Visit to Wallace.
J. II. Kern, of Moosejaw, Sask.,
president of the Hypotheek Mining &
Milling company, was brief visitor
in Wallace this week, coming to con-
fer with Otto A. Osson, manager and
one of the directors of the company.
He left on the afternoon train yester-
day. Mr. Kern said that he had noth-
ing to say for publication regarding
the Hypotheek at this time. owing
to the persistent high cost of mining
and the unsatisfactory condition of
the lead market, it would be impossi-
BILE to place the property on profit
earning basis now, but he was hope
full that these conditions would change
before long, when Hypotheek would
again become active. Regarding bus
mess conditions in Canada, he said
they We're not materially different
from those that prevail here. In
parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan
the crops We're a failure. There is
much labor unrest and the high cost
of living is burdensome to the people
there just as 1t is here.

previously an experienced eager in the
Hecla shaft, with full knowledge Of
the signal system and the shaft end
of the cables and their attachments
He had been on his present job as oiler
and assistant hoistman for two months
and had hoisted ore with the skips
steadily for two hours prior to the ac-
cident without hitch, and in the light
OF the evidence available this sad ac-
cident can only be attributed to a mo-
mentary lapse of human Judgment" K

SYN DICATE.
Big Vein Carrying Streak Of High
Grade Silver.

Grade silver.
Fred Steers returned yesterday NOR
ming to the Syndicate property, after a
few days visit at his summer home at
Chatcolet. A tunnel started on the
Syndicate vein was driven about $50
feet, when the vein was completely cut
out by fault, as explained by Mr..
Steers. A streak Of high grade ore,
varying in width from one to several
inches, was being followed, and since
the faulting of the vein, shaft has
been started in the tunnel and Is now
down about 20 feet, following the pay
streak. Assays return SO ounces Of
silver and IL per cent copper, but the
amount of ore so far is not sufficient
to he mined profitably. The vein IS
large and there is also evidence OF
lead. The Syndicate company owns
six claims joining the Bryan group,
situated on the west fork Of Packer
creek, about six miles from Saltese
and five miles from Taft. The Bryan
group is controlled by the Days.

Engineers.
The party of state engineers under
the direction of w. l. Bassett, who
have been surveying the main highway
across the county, have completed the
work to Mullan. Under an agreement
recently entered into with the repre-.
sentatives Of the forest service, Mr.
Bassett will continue to survey to
Lookout pass, locating the new road
which will be constructed jointly by
the county, state and forest service. 1t
was the original plan to have the new
road located by the forest service next
spring, as most of it will be within the
forest reserve, but when it was found
that Mr.. Bassett could do the work
now it was agreed to let him proceed
which will permit construction work to
begin much earlier next year.

DRILLING TWO WELLS
IN RANGER OIL FIELDS
EVERY DAY-DRlNkiNG WA
TER FROM ARKANSAS.

Charles Mckinnis, accompanied by
Mrs. McKinnis, is in the city. Mr.
Mckinnis has been in the Ranger oil
fields of Texas for several months
where he has acquired two valuable
leases in the heart of the oil section
and upon which he is now sinking
wells. The first was down 200 feet
when he left and the second was
started on the first of this month. The
main flow in the Ranger field is struck
at a depth of from $500 to $500 feet.
The drill hole in the beginning is IS
inches in diameter and this is reduced
from time to time until when the max
imum depth is reached the hole is
generally inches in diameter and
sometimes only 4. The cost Of build
ing a derrick, providing the necessary
machinery and drilling a well in the
Ranger district runs from $4,000 to
$4,000. The percentage of dry wells
is very low. Well drilers get $23 per
day, working two on shift of 12
hours.
Oil Excitement Unabating.
The productive area of the oil fields
is being steadily extended both north
and south of Ranger, and hardly a
day passes without a new flow be-
ing struck. In less than a year Rang
er has grown to be city of $4,000
people, with large business blocks.
Two streets are now being paved and
water and sewerage systems are be-
ing put in. Up to this time the ques-
tion of pure water has been serious
one The local supply is from wells,
is very impure and is credited with
the prevalence of malaria and fever
and ague" Mr. McKinnis and all 9TH
ers who can afford it drink water
shipped in glass jars from Arkansas.
Rain Every Day.
Although not a drop of rain, ac
cording to government records, had
fallen at Ranger for three years,
enough has fallen this summer to
make high average. Mr. McKinnis
says that since he went down several
months ago there has not been two
days without rain. The
mud seems unbearable, but a days
sunshine converts 1t into dust, from
which a return to mud is welcome re-
lief Mr. McKinnis has no word of
for the homeseeker to
go to that part of Texas, but as a
producer Of oil it has no equal, an
one well will permit the owner to live
he likes. He will return to
Ranger in about ten days.
