HECLA HAS FIVE FEET
OF HIGH GRADE ORE
ON THE 1000 LEVEL

The Great Hecla ore shoot is
proving even better on the 1000
level than it was on the 1000
where it was a veritable bonanza.
1t was learned yesterday from an
authoritative source that the face
of the drift on the 1000 showed
five feet of solid high grade ga
lena without a trace of zinc and
an equal amount of excellent
milling ore. This showing togeth-
er with recent exposures in the
drift is pronounced to be the best
that has ever been seen in the
mine. This ore shoot is 1900 feet
in length 400 feet above on the
1900 level and everything indi-
Gates that it will maintain that
length or better on the new level.
This level is making a tremend-
GUS addition to the proved ore re-
serves of the Hecla mine, and in
dicates that the great ore body
will be profitably mined far be
low the 1000 level The decline in
the price of lead is of course a
matter of serious concern to the
Hecla, as it is to all other mines
of the district, but the fixed price
of silver enables the company to
earn a fair profit while hoping for
a better price for lead or a sub
stantial reduction in the cost of
mining.

LOOKOUT PASS ROAD
NOW SEEMS ASSURED
EARLY NEXT SPRING.

Last Friday County Commits
sioners ID h. Keys and e. w.
Miller went to Missaula and con-
ferred with F.. NJ. Keene. chief en-
gineer of the federal bureau of
public roads. and officials of the
forestry service for the purpose
of reaching an agreement re-
garding the construction of the
Lookout pass road. AS a result
of the conference. the commits
sioners received assurance that
the $4,000 promised by the for
est service will be forthcoming in
the spring. An equal amount will
be paid by the county and the
state will contribute $4,000. Mr..
Keene is of the opinion that the
cost of the road will be much
greater than the amount hereto
fore estimated He therefore pro-
poses. and his plan will no doubt
be adopted, to begin construction
on the summit and complete the
first mile or two first. which is by
far the most expensive part of the
section BY the time that work is
well under way he expressed con-
fidence that additional money
would be available from the fed
eral appropriation for the con-
struction of post roads, sufficient
to place the government contri-
button on a $3.50 basis with the
state and county for completion of
tine road down 10 near the Nation
al mill. He said that it was no
longer necessary for a road to be
part of mail route in order to
secure federal aid through the
post road appropriation Upon
their return from Missoula both
Commissioners Keys and Miller
said that they regarded the con-
structiOn of the Lookout pass road
next spring now positively assur-
ed.

New Quarters Being Built Near Por-

In preparation for work during the

the Columbus Mining company, on
east Eagle creek has been engaged
during the past few weeks construct
ing a building near the portal of the
lower tunnel which will provide com
Portable quarters for the men. This
tunnel is the one started during the
summer to cut the vein that is expos
ed in the bed of the creek. It has
been advanced so feet. The face is
now in a solid quartzite formation and
it is expected that the vein will be
reached in about 20 feet. The explor-
alton Of this vein will give a depth of
over 500 feet. The tunnel 200 feet
above, in which most of the develop
ment work has been done, aggregates
about 400 feet in length and has cut
three veins, not including the one
sought in the lower tunnel, all of
which show some lead-silver ore car

CAREER OF JOHN BORG
PRESIDENT OF CALLAHAN
FROM OFFICE BOY TO MILLION
AlRE-GETS ACQUAINTED
WITH WALLACE.

After spending two weeks in the
Occur d'Alene district John Borg
president of the Consolidated Inter
state-Callahan Mining company, and
Mrs Borg, will leave for the east over
the Northern Pacific Saturday morn
ing. During his stay here Mr. BORG
has given most of his attention to the
big zinc mine and familiarizing him
self with the companys operations
including the Chicago Boston and
Kill Buck. which are being developed
by the company. Although very busy
with company affairs, he found time
TO lunch with the board of trade and
to get acquainted with Wallace bust
ness men in order to get in touch with
local conditions and cultivate a close
relationship between the company
and the community He did not hest
tate to pronounce Wallace the most
metropolitan little city he had ever
visited and complimented the people
upon the progressive spirit every
where in evidence.
Not a Mining Man.
When asked regarding operations at
the Callahan, he frankly stated that
while he had given the mine a thor
ough inspection he did not feel quail
flied to discuss it's condition for he
was without experience in mining, al
though he had learned much and ex-
pected to learn much more regarding
t. He therefore referred mat
ters Of that nature to Manager c. W.
Newton, combining himself for the
present at least to the financial af-
fairs of the company. He expressed
much satisfaction with the condition
If the mine however, and said that
important development and diamond
lrill work was being done in several
places which promised to make i'm
1ortant additions to the resources of
he mine, and that he confidently ex-
1ected the company to realize it's
highest expectations in the develop
nent of the Chicago Boston and Kill
Buck. Regarding the market for zinc.
Mr. Borg said that while the situation
s bad at this time, he took an optim-
site view, as the statistical condition
$ good and he was looking forward to
letter days for zinc.
From Office Boy to Millionaire.
Mr.. Borg has an interesting person
lily and is what would be termed in

MORNING ORE BODY

Level
MORE MEN EMPLOYED
Fine Morning Club Building

Opened


mine, owned by the Federal Mi
ming & Smelling company, is
being extended 200 feet deeper
under contract When this is COM
peted the shaft will have a total
depth below the main tunnel of 1850
feet. The best ore that has been
found in the Morning mine has been
opened on the lower shaft levels, each
succeeding level showing an increase
in the proportion of lead as compared
with zinc and the size of the ore body
is fully maintained. These conditions
justify the expectation that the new
level which will be opened upon the
completion of the shaft contract will
show further improvement and prove
the continuity of the great ore body
which ranks among the largest in the
district. The Morning has a splendid
'ventilating system which was Install
ed by the Federal company at heavy
expense, and which provides an al
most perfect circulation of fresh air
in all parts of the mine.
Labor Situation Better.
While the Morning mine is still
short of men, it may be stated upon
authority of the management that the
situation is steadily improving and
the company is nearer having a full
quota of men now than at any time
during the past year. At the present
rate of improvement it is believed
that by the time cold comes to stay
the Morning will have a full force and
the production of the company restor-
ed to normal.
Club House Nears Completion.
The magnificent club house that is
being built by the Federal company at
Mullan will not be ready for formal
opening on November l. as originally
contemplated; in fact it may be as
late as December l before IL is thrown
open to the public. This is due to the
failure of material to arrive on sched-
ule time. This handsome and magni-
foently equipped building is being
erected solely at the expense of the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
The original plan was to place it near
the mine for the exclusive use of the
employees of the Federal company, but
in Difference to the wishes of the en-
terprising people of Mullan, who ten
dered the company a splendid site for
the building without cost the location
of the club was changed to a COM
handing position in that town, and
made that the privi-
leges of the club would be extended
to the public as well as to Federal
employees. No expense has been spar
ed in the construction and furnishing
Of the building, which includes de-
ightful rest rooms for men and wo-
men, auditorium for public entertain
nents and dancing, pool and billiard
Dom. shower baths. rooms for in
itruction in the English language and

Hon. J. f. Nugent clio Nugent Sena-
torial Headquarters Overland Bldg.
Boise, Idaho.
Mr. Dear Mr.. Nugent; ! am in re-
ceipt Of your personal letter of Octo-
Der IA, 1920, in which you advise that
you are a candidate for reelection as
United States senator Feeling that
as a public official representing the
commonwealth of Idaho in the senate
OF the United States, you would be
pleased to have an expression of opin-
ion from your constituents, 1 beg leave
to reply to your communications.
l note you assume that 1 am famil-
lar, in a measure at least, with your
record as a senator as well as your
record concerning political matters
during the twenty odd years in which
you have been interested in public
concerns in Idaho. In reply will say
that I am more or less familiar with
your record as a senator and I assume
that if reelected YOU will continue to
vote in the senate as you have in the
past, with the majority of the demo-
cratic senators. I would. however,
like to be informed specifically as to
your position relative to the covenant
of the league of nations should it
again be presented to the senate for
ratification. Your record. so far as the
votes thus far had in the senate show,
would indicate that your convictions
are not very firmly settled.
! understand that it is rather your
boast that you have been willing to
go along on almost any plan to secure
a ratification of the peace treaty with
the covenant of the league of nations
attached, with or without reserva-
tons. In the present campaign, an
issue seems to be joined on the pro-
position of ratifying the present treaty
with what is known as the Wilson
league of nations attached Would
you. if elected, vote to ratify this
treaty and enter into the league of ma
tons. with or without reservations?
And which do you prefer?

note further from your letter that
if reelected, you will in the future, as
in the past do all that lies in your
power TO reclaim the lands suitable
for agricultural purposes. to develop

Letter From Senator Nugent Appealing
for Support Gets Vigorous Answer
From D. A. Callahan

q ONE ONE must have put one
over" on the manager OF the
IA "Nugent Senatorial Headquar-
ters" at Boise in providing him
with a mailing list. During the past
few days members Of the republican
county central committee, republican
candidates and others active in the
republican party have been favored
with a personal letter from the Nj
gent headquarters over the autograph
signature of the senator in which is
summarized his claims upon the peo-
pie of Idaho for support. One of these
came to Donald A. Callahan, republi-
can candidate for the legislature from
ShOshOne county and a man whose
ability as a public speaker has created
a demand from the party for his ser
vices in other parts of the state. The
nature of Senator Nugents appeal
was such that Mr.. Callahan felt that
it merited a reply, which he has for
warded to the senator. When he gets
it the manager of the Nugent head
quarters will probably realize that he
should have given closer attention to
the revision of his mailing list. The
Nugent letter and Mr. Galatians re-
ply are given below:

Borg Speaks.

John Borg, of New York, president
of the Consolidated Interstate-C Gala
han Mining company, addressed the
board briefly, prefacing his remarks
with the statement that his first i'm
pulse was to make Harding for presi-
dent his subject, but that an ominous
warning from a member that the
board of trade is a non-political body
caused him to adopt a more discreet
course However, before he was
through Mr.. Borg impressed his hear
ers with the importance of interesting
themselves in politics as a means of
carrying out the real purposes of a
commercial body. one of which is the
promotion of civic betterments and
improvements 1t is useless to pro-
test against political misrule in the
community when business men hold
themselves a1oof from political organ
ization and refuse to participate in
the nomination and election of officers.
Mr.. Borg gave an explanation of the
financial conditions on Wall street,
how the threatened riot of specula-
ton a few months ago was checked
by the calling in of loans, and said
that this country must give assist
ance to Europe in some form in order
to restore Industrial life and enable
the countries over there to pay the
enormous war debt.
