MINING MEN APPOINTED.
STUDY TAX PROBLEMS
JOHN p. GRAY AND r. w. BRAD
LEY ARE AMONG THE
NOTABLES.

The government is evidently In an
almost hopeless tangle with reference
to constituting the war tax laws as ap-
piled to the mining industry, and has
called upon representatives OF the var
ious branches of mining to help work
out the difficult problems. The APP
peal for assistance was made to the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical engineers, which held its
annual meeting in Chicago last week.
In response to the request. President
Fl V. Winchell appointed a commit
tee of Fl, consisting of leading min
ing engineers, heads of mining COR
porations and mining attorneys of
note. The committee includes r. w.
Bradley, president of the Bunker Hill
company, and John p Gray, noted mi
ming attorney Of Occur dAlene. The
committeeman were selected on ac-
count of their special qualifications to
ming industry. Mr.. Gray was in Wal
lace last Saturday and upon return
ing home Sunday stated that he
would leave for Washington the next
day to attend the first meeting of the
committee, which will be held on Oc
tober 6. The names Of the members
of the committee with the respective
subjects with which they will deal

IDAHO CLAY DEPOSITS
BEING INVESTIGATED
MAY RESULT IN ESTABLISHMENT
OF NEW iNDUsTlEs IN
THE STATE.

Frank II. Skeels, mining engineer
of this city, returned this week after
devoting several months to the inves-
tigation of commercial clay resources
of the state Of Idaho. His work is In
connection with the state bureau OF
mines and geology and in cooperation
with the United States bureau OF
mines During the past few weeks
Mr.. Skeels has given his attention to
the examination of clay deposits in
northern Idaho and has almost COM
pleted his survey of this field He
will leave the first of the week to eX-
anime deposits near Orofino and along
the Snake river above Lewiston, and
will then proceed to the southern part
Of the state There are deposits near
Weiser Pocatello and Salmon City
which he will examine, and no doubt
many other places will receive his at
tention when he reaches that section
of the state Very little attention has
been given to the clay deposits OF
Idaho, and the work being done by
Mr.. Skeels is the first official inves-
LEGATION of these resources that has
been undertaken. Fire bricks are man
ulactured in this state from Idaho
clays, but with this exception there
are no manufacturing enterprises III
the state that consume commercial
clays. While giving no specific in
lormatlon, MI. Skeels expressed the
opinion that as result OF his inyes-
tiaation Idaho will be found TO possess
valuable deposits which will attract
enterprises for the manufacture of clay
i,Aoducts.
Classes OF Clay Sought.
there are various kinds OF clay OF
commercial value. but the most cap
aple experts seldom are able to class
iIy them without u thorough chemi-
cal analysis and test Mr.. Skeels
WORK is to examine the deposits de-
leinnne approximately their extent,
their location with reference to trans
portation, and to take samples which
are sent to the bureau of mines for
analysis and classification. 1T the
tests snow that the clay is of CONNER
cIai value, and the size of the depos-
1t and it's location are such as will
make it's utilization feasible, it will
be the subject of a more thorough
investigation and report. When all
this data is compiled a special bulle-
tin will be issued by the United States
bureau of mines on the clay deposits
of Idaho which will give the public
it is believed will encourage the es-
Establishment of new enterprises in the
state
Some of the clays being sought are
drain and roofing tile, sewer pipe,
terra Gotta and paving brick; pottery
clay; fire clay for the manufacture
of fire brick; also china clay, which
Is rare in this country,
Drain Tile.
Mr. Skeels made a special effort to
locate deposit of clay in the vicin-
ity of st. Maries that would be adapt
ed to the manufacture of drain tile.
This class of thing is used in re-
claiming low lands along the ST. Joe
river and also to some extent along the
Occur d'Alene river. The discovery of
commercial deposit in that section
would doubtless be followed by the
establishment of a tile manufacturing
plant with an assured local market
for large part of the product.

BIG BULLION ORE BODY
OF COMMERCIAL COPPER.
CONTINUED from Page -

the mine last week this ore had been
drifted upon about 40 feet and the
face showed feet of ore that will ar
erage about per cent copper, Z
ounces silver and little gold. There
are numerous streaks of high grade
running through it. being practically
clean chalcopyrite. An important
feature of Bullion ore is that it car
rfes an average of about 20 per cent
iron and II per cent lime, for which a
liberal allowance is made by the
smelter. How much wider the shoot
Is than appears in the face Is not
known, but the important fact is that
it Is undoubtedly a continuation Of
the ore from tunnel No. and there
fore proves large body of CONNER.
cial ore. The depth from the surface
at this point is $50 feet and further
depth will be rapidly gained as the
drift advances. The company has ap-
proximately 1000 feet of ground COW
ering the vein east of the present
showing.
Two Other Veins.
In driving No. 3 crosscut a very
promising vein was cut at 600 feet,
showing some copper values and JUS
tifying exploration. At 1900 feet an
other vein was cut which showed
considerable ore. Subsequently a
short drift was run east on this vein
and the ore rapidly widened until
there is now full face. of commercial
grade. The course of this vein sug-
gests that 1t may join the main vein
a short distance east of the present |

making a big copper producer of the
Bullion is most flattering
