state on the merits or demcriis Of
these proposed measures prior to cleo

cent Of the people chilled upon to vote

There IL no argument in favor of the

ROCK ISLAND.
Preliminary Work Will Be Followed
by Development.

preliminary work VIII be FoiIoWed
by Development.
Two men have been employed on
the Rock Island during the winter
catching up and cleaning out the old
tunnels and generally getting the
property in shape for a resumption Of
development work, which viii soon
begin. The property is now owned by
the Silver Stone Mining company,
Delaware corporation, representatives
OF which are expected here this week.
The main openings on the Rock Island
are three tunnels. In the two upper
ones much ore has been exposed, IN
places the shoot being as much as two
or three feet thick, almost clean ship
ping lead-silver ore. The shoot has
been exposed for several hundred feet
but it is variable in extent. Consider
able ore has been shipped from the
property. The ore has never been
found in the lower tunnel, and it is on
that level that further exploratory
work will probably be undertaken
when work begins. The Rock Island
is about six miles north Of Deborgia.

INSURANCE BENEFITS.
Employer and Underwater Equally
Responsible for Payment.

Employer and Underwater Equally
Responsible for Payment.
The supreme court Of Utah has de-
cided that under the workmen's com
pensation act both the employer and
the insurance carrier are responsible
for the payment of benefits to injured
employees, and in case the insurance
company carrying the insurance be-
comes insolvent and unable to pay
the burden falls upon the employer.
The case in point is that of the Am
erican Fuel company, operating a coal
mine at Sego, Utah, in regard to the
payment of compensation to Theras
Lappas who was injured in 1917 very
shortly after the law went into force
The coal company had taken out in
surance in the Guardian Insurance
company. which acknowledged and
paid the compensation up to the time
Of becoming insolvent. The decision
Of the court holds that the primary
on the part of the employ
er is to pay compensation and that
insurance is incidental. though i'm

Encouraging Showing
in National CrOSsCut

The east crosscut at the Nation
al has now been advanced about
go feet and the main crosscut
probably 1855, there being only
one shift working in the latter.
Since entering the Burke quartz
lite there has been no change
worthy Of note except in the east
crosscut. This crosscut few
days ago entered what appears to
be a assure vein cutting the for
nation in northeasterly and
southwesterly direction, and con-
tanning much oxidized iron, lit
tie copper and probably other
minerals which have not been
Identified. Yesterday afternoon
reports from the mine stated that
the crosscut is still in this vein,
the distance since entering it be-
ing about 30 feet, its appearance
remaining practically the same.
This is a highly interesting de-
velopment and seems to justify
exploration by drift. but what the
plans of the management are in
this respect are not known. Much
interest is manifested in the pro-
gress of the work.

Feed Starving
Armenian Children

The people of Shoshone county
are expected to subscribe $1,000
for relief of starving Armenian
children. The campaign is now
on and it is the duty of every
citizen TO give something. If every
body will do this the amount will
he raised without imposing the
slightest hardship upon any one.
If there is any cause that should
appeal strongly to human sympa-
thy, and that should impel that
sympathy to take the form of
prompt and practical relief, it is
the suffering of helpless children.
1t is a call for help that can not
doe ignored. 1t is not a time to say
we can not afford to give. All can
give something, and none can at
ford not to give. The solicitors
who have undertaken the task of
collecting this money are acting
upon the noblest human impulses,
the desire to relieve distress and
suffering. The cruelties that have
been imposed upon the Armen-
ians are without a parallel, and
the only help must come from the
American people. Bear in mind
when the solicitor calls that your
action means life or death to a
starving child.

5000 feet of drifts and crosscuts and n

several years ago. and since then it
has been idle. The control is now rep

TWO NOTED BIOLOGISTS
ARE IN THE DISTRICT
RETAINED BY HEcLA COMPANY
IN PENDING APEX LlTI-
CATION.

Horace V. Winchell. of Minneap-
oils, and Fred Searls, Jr of San
Francisco, both noted mining geolo-
gists, arrived in the city the first of
the week. and are now making their
headquarters at Burke while engag-
ed in professional work in the Hecla
mine They will appear as witnesses
for the Hecla company in the pend
ing apex litigation with the Federal
Mining & Smelling company Mr.
Winchell recently retired from the
presidency of the American Institute
Of Mining and Metallurgical Engin-
GERS and was succeeded in that posi-
ton by Herbert Hoover 1t is said
that during Mr.. WinchelPs term as
president of the institute the increase
in membership was greater than dur
ing any similar period in the history
Of the organization. Another notable
feature of his term was the abandon
ment Of the policy of the institute
which practically confined its activi-
ties to technical affairs in which it's
members were professionally inter-
ell policy through which the organi-
~ tion will make it's influence felt in
the solution of national problems in
which all the people are concerned.
An example Of this new attitude oc-
CURED a few months ago when the
of the treasury invited
committee from the mining profess
slons to assist in the solution Of the
questions involved in the
federal income tax law, and as now
recalled Mr.. Winchell was a member
Of that committee. He is quite well
known in this district, having been
called here several times on profess
being in connection with the Star
Federal case At that time Mr.. Win |
shell delivered a most instructive ad- !
iress on condition in Russia, he Iav- |
ng been in st. Petersburg when the |
,zar was dethroned and spent con- |
siderable time thereafter in various
parts Of the empire.
His First Case.
About the first case with which
fred Searles was connected as a ge-
illogical expert was the controversy
between the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
and the Federal Mining &
Smelling company over the Last
rhance at Wardner Mr. Searls was
etaned by the Bunker Hnl associat-
a with Professor Lawson. The case
vas settled by agreement. This was
bout 10 years ago and since that
ime Mr. Searls has made a brilliant
ecord and now ranks high among
he mining biologists of the United
states. He has also been engaged
n important professional work in
south Africa. China and other for
