AMERICAN EXPLORER IS WORKING ALONG
 RIM OF THE ARCTIC
Member of the Stefansson Party Who Is Depending Entirely on His Gun For
 Living

| SEATTLE, Oct. 21-An American
 explorer, Harold Noice, formerly a
 member of ViIhajalmur Stefansson's s
 party, is working his way eastward
 on foot along the route of the north west passage on the northern rim of the continent, according to word re ceived here. He expects to reach the
 Hudson Bay country and civilization some time next summer
 Storker Storkerson, formerly sec ond in command of the Stefansson party, who arrived here recently from the far north, said that Noice, ac- companied only by Eskimos, is pro- ceding slowly and mapping portions of the coast lines as he goes. A stretch of the coast line of Victoria Land, heretofore unmapped, is being charted by Noice.
 Noice may visit the interior Of Victoria Land, which, according to all reports, has never been explored by white men. All explorers, traders and trappers who have touched Vic toria Land have only journeyed along its shores. Stefansson found the tribe of "blond Eskimos" in the Vic toria Land country.
 Noice has no ship and but few sup plies. He depends almost entirely upon his gun for his living. Stef- ansson, his former chief who is not ed among explorers as being able to live off the barren white lands of the north, probably taught Noice how to get about without carrying many supplies.
 Noice's parents live in Seattle. The explorer is young in years, having graduated from a high school here about eight years ago. He went north in 1912 with Captain Louis Lane on the schooner Polar Bear When Stefansson purchased the Polar Bear from Lane, Noice shipped s a member of the crew. Later, when Stafansson decided to return to the outside world, Noice left the party md remained in the. north. His par ents expect him tp return to Seattle next year.

SAYS LABOR NOW HAS
 A STRANGLE HOLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Senator Myers Democrat, from Montana). says: Organized labor seems to have a strangle hold on this coun- try. It believes in strangling while the strangling is good. The prac- tice is going merrily on. Demands made by the bituminous coal min CTS for increases amounting to 135 per cent. over the pre-war scale are the most monstrous and brutal ever made against the people of this country"

LET'S CONTRACT FOR
 DRIVING AD|T DRIFT

Jack Empy, general manager of the Hibernia mine, has let contract for the driving of an adit drift on the vein 100 feet. When this contract is completed the company will let an- other contract to extend the drift to $50 feet, where it is expected to get below the old ore body at a depth of 200 feet. Mir. Empey brought in some excellent milling ore from the proper ty, which was taken from the vein at the grassroots. It is expected that a large vein of this class of ore will be opened and that the smaller vein will produce considerable tonnage of very rich ore, similar to that taken from the property years ago.
 The Hibernia is situated near the backbone of the Wallapais and many miles from any other camp. The com- pany now operating the property has been building roads and thails into it and will soon have it accessible to automobiles and trucks.

ARIZONA MOSSBACK
 DOWN OVER 600 Fl.

The shaft on the Arizona Mossback has reached some distance below the 600 and will be driven to the 700 before a station is cut. After open ing the station on the 700 a station will be cut on the 600 and crosscuts and drifts will be carried into the mas sive vein. The ore from the 800 to the present depth continues to be won derfully rich. The contractors are making wonderfully good time in sinking and it is expected that the first of July will see the station cut at the 700 and drifting started.
 The Arizona Mossback company will have plans prepared for the big mill that is to be erected on the property as soon after July as the machinery can be gotten on the ground. So much ore has been exposed in the levels that have been run at the 900 400 and 50 that there appears to be no further necessity for the opening of ore to maintain large plant. Mr. Peach stated to Miner reporter, the other night, that there w:ss enough are opened in the property to keep 300 ton plant in operation for at least three years.

CROWTHER LEAVES FOR EAST IN INTEREST OF
 ARIZONA BUTTE co.

Last Wednesday evening H. M. Crowther, who has been general man. ager of the Arizona Butte Mines the past three years, departed to the east where he will meet with a large num- Der of men who are arranging the fi- nancing of the property. These men have the initial amount of money ready for delivery to the compnny's treasury, but as the future payments have to be arranged for so that there will be no cessation in the driving of the big tunnel when work has once gotten under way. There is plenty of money in the company's treasury to carry the work over the summer and fall months, but it will take about two years to carry the work into the mines above the Baner, where great depth will be obtained.
 The driving of the deep tunnel un- der Stockton Hill has been the dream of the mining editor of the Miner the past twenty or more years. Through it will be reached some of the best mines of the state, carrying gold, solver, copper, lead and zinc. Some of these veins have wonderful possi- bilities in ore bearing. The Prince George, through which the tunnel is being driven, is nearly 100 feet be- tween walls and there are others equally as important. This property produced largely in silver during the palmy days of mining operations at Stockton Hill. The bore would also penetrate a network of smaller veins that have produced millions in silver from wonderfully rich ore. The tun- mel would cut these veins at depths ranging from 400 feet to 1900 feet, would drain them and make them pos sible their development without the expense of handling water and would also reduce the cost of timber and other large expense in the opening ot the mines through the medium of shaft. Several thousand men could be put on work on the mines in the de- velopment of the hundreds of veins and the extraction of ores.
 That the people have absolute faith in the undertaking is evidenced by the heavy subscription of Mohave county people to the original and subsequent issues of the company's shares. The people are still holding the shares and will continue to do so until the big bore is reality.

OIL STOCK SALESMAN
 "SK|NS" SUBSCRIBERS

The Arizona Copper Camp, publish ed at Ray, is hot on the trail after the oil stock peddlers. Recently a stock seller went to Ray and sold a large amount of BurkBethel stock and re- ceived the money for it. After the stock was sold it immediately in creased about three times in value and the agent failed to produce the certi- ficates and offered to return the money. The subscribers refused to take the refund and it :s possible that some court action will be taken to compel the company or its agents to come across with the shares contract ed for. Southern Arizona has been fleeced by the oil share peddlers and it would appear that this is the first time that any of these fellows had made good and this one failed to come through with his obligations.

HOUSING PROGRAM FOR 2 WORKMEN A BY-PRODUCT
 OF THE WORLD WAR

One of the most interesting and un- expected bi-products of the war has been the inauguration in this country of the policy of building workmen's dwellings, by the federal government, and the inauguration of government standards of housing for workmen un- der the Housing Administration of the Department. Oto K. EidiiSa, the we'll known New York Builder, has been made Housing Administrator, and as sociated with him has be,n a group of public spirited professional men working day and night to develop the government housing program.
 The government ac. on viii stamp for the next hundred years the tyne of house that is to be built for ind 5 trial workers, said one tbser7er, but irrespective of this statement, there can be no question that the standards adopted by the government will lave a potent influence upon the housing of workmen in this country for many years to come
 The government standards recently published go into consi lerable detail of requirements for the l,o l,es, COZ ering the questions of light, veht.la- ton, depth of the front and back yards, the distance tesween houses, and takes into consideration even such details as the depth of clothes closets, arrangements of hats, stairs and doors, the place fo, sinks ant wash tubs, plumbing, heighth of buildings and of rooms, It also completely lars living quarters in oaselaents and eel lars, and the old type dormitories, barracks and bunk houses, and tene- ment houses are regarded as general ly undesirable.
 That the West is in advance of the East in housing be talmeht is shown by the fact that in the East the gov ernment standards are regarded as the high water mark in housing prac- tice, while there are many towns in the West that could boast of all gov ernment standards several years be- fore such standards were made, and in many of the features, have gone the government one peter.
 The mining industry has long been interested in housing development; such towns as Ajo, built by the New Cornelia, Tyrone, built by the Phelps Dodge Corporation, Verde by the Verde Extension Co.,, and Clarkdale by the United Verde, would make in- dustrial towns in the East built by government standards look quite ordi- nary.
 It has been the policy of many of the mining companies of the West to encourage their employees to build their own homes, assisting them by means of their building and loan as-

SUPREME COURT
 SUSTA|NS JUDGEMENT

The supreme Court of the United States this week affirmed the iudg- ment of the circuit court of appeals in the litigation involving the patent to the Minerals Separation company to the use of pine oil in the Notation process. This suit was primarily against the Butte and Superior com pany, but a number of other corpora tions were involved in the litigation. The decision of the supreme court af- firms the right of the Minerals Separ- ation company to collect royalty on its patent, the lower court having assess ed this royalty at $1O,00O,OOO against the Butte and Superior, and about $6O,O00,000 against all the operating companies at Butte. While the pay ment of this bagatelle would not put much of crimp in newspaper man, it will be found rather difficult to dig up the money among the bevy of min ing companies and some of them will probably go out of business. Some of the companies had taken time by the forelock and laid away the neces- sary amount for royalties, but the larger operators preferred to fight the Notation company.
 As the use of oil and other sub stances has been in existence many years before the Minerals Separation company fellows ever heard about the subject of raising metals in oil froth it does not look right to give these fellows a strangle holt on the mineral industry. A woman at first perfect ed, or at least found the way, to use oil in the floating of minerals, but the other fellow not only gets the credit but the doug for successfully applying the treatment. It is much similar to the muchly discussed and litigated McArthur- Forrest cyanide treatment of ores. Cyanide was used in the laboratory many years before either of these patents were born, yet they applied the process to the com- mercial treatment of ores and really got away with the royalty part of it until some one tried conclusions with them. Some one will find simpler way than the use of pine oil and the Minerals Separation will be thing of the past, although they will have talk en the cream from the mining com pany's milk.
