bile show, next January, there will
probably be more spirited bidding
for business by the automobile

at Eany time since the industry
reached its present size as the third

ssers and executives are already
laying their plans for 1922.
Many New Ones
There will be more brand new

This because of the absolute neces-
sity of stimulating sales and be-

Piston Pin Knock.

The knock produced by a loose
piston pin is considerably lighter
than a crank shaft knock and is
most noticeable when the engine is
running idle with the throttle
nearly closed. The only cure for
the knock is to repair the pin or
bushing or both, though fortunate
ly this knock does not indicate as
dangerous a condition as a crank

COMPLETE CONTRACT.

A contract to extend the crosscut
100 feet on the property OF the Wilson
Mining & Smelling company, situated
near Saltese, Mont, was completed a
few days ago and another contract
will be let at once, probably to the
same contractors. The crosscut has
now been advanced a total distance
Of 42O feet and according to the orig
NAL estimate it will be necessary to
run nearly 400 feet further TO cut the
vein. However, since the contract
was started stringers of lead silver
ore have been cut and the face of the
tunnel is now said to show about a
foot of quartz with galena scattered
through it. These conditions have
led to the conclusion that the vein
may be reached much sooner than
anticipated The crosscut has attain
ed a depth of 500 or 600 feet, and
when drifting starts on the vein fur
Their depth will be gained rapidly. The
Wilson is situated about 81 miles
from Saltese, on Silver creek, by the
present road, but a trail which will
later be transformed into a wagon
road is being built down Big Sunday
creek, which will reduce the distance
from Saltese about a mile.

BIG CREEK MINING CO.
INCREASED SHIPMENTS
SUNSHINE MINING co. MAY
HAVE MILL RUNNING IN
THIRTY DAYS.

The Big Creek Mining company is
operating continuously and is stead
lily extending development operations
and making important additions to
the general equipment of mine and
mill Recently another compressor
and 6O-horsepower electric motor
were added to the mining end Of the
enterprise, which will give the COM
pany, with the compressor and motor
already in use, all the air necessary
to meet requirements for a long time.
The company is shipping its usual
amount of ore averaging about car
load of concentrates a week. With
the additional power that is now
available and the extended stopping
ground that has been developed, the
shipments from this time on should
show a substantial increase.
Sunshine Mill.
Big creek is soon to have another
mill in operation, situated on the OPP
posite side of the canyon and a little
above the Big Creek Mining company
mill This new plant is being erected
by the Sunshine Mining company,
which has a bond and lease on the ia
nous Yankee Boy mine and also the |
Yankee Girl adjoining. 1t is announc-
ed by the management that the mill |
is expected to make its trial run with |

have a capacity of so tons per day
and is planned with the view to max
ing additional units that will increase
it's capacity to $50 tons should cOndi-
tons justify it. For the present the
mill will run on ore remaining in the
slopes left by leasers after sorting
out the high grade. There is a large
amount of this ore that is expected to
return a good profit The old dumps
the same class of ore will
be milled. In the meantime develop

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
Power Line Expected to Be compIet-
ed This Week.


The Lookout Mountain property on
Pine creek, where an important strike
of high grade ores was made on the
800 foot level last week, will have its
machine drills in operation the first
of next week, according to statements
of the officers. The laying of 5000 feet
of pipe line to carry water for use of
the machinery will be completed by
Monday and this will insure an am
pie supply of water for all purposes.
The water supply at the mine failed
a few DAYS before the strike was
made and hand mining was resorted
to temporarily while the pipe was be-
ing delivered to the property. The ore
was encountered when the miners had
driven an additional feet by hand
work Several we'll known engineers
visited the property during the week
and have expressed the opinion that
the Lookout will, develop a large ton
mage of commercial ore on the pres
ent level with every indication of per-
manency as greater depth is obtained.

the several shoots exposed in the six
feet of vein now opened carry rs ozs.

GREAT PLATINUM VEIN
LANCASTER HAS OPTION
REMARKABLE SHOWING IN ORE
CON THAT MAY HAVE A
FABULOUS VALUE.

A vein projecting out of the ground
apparently varying in thickness from
10 to Is feet, and carrying from 1 to
ounces of platinum to the ton as
determined by a series of tests made
by Oregon assayers and chemists is
the almost sensational news brought
from Josephine county, Oregon oy
Henry NJ. Lancaster, well known MI
ming engineer and manager of the St.
Lawrence Copper Mining company
near Saltese. Mr. Lancaster and as
! sociates have secured an option on
this remarkable deposit and investi-
cations are being made to determine
process adapted to the reduction of
the ore and recovery of it's precious
values. The ore also carries iridium,
another rare metal of the platinum
group and considerable gold. An as
say made last May gave the follow
ing results, the values based on cur
rent market quotations.:
Gold, OH ounce, value S24S; platin-
UNI. O94 ounce, $65.SO; iridium, $50
ounces, $3.50; total value per ton.
$71S.2S.
Another assay made last month
gave these results: Gold, OBJ ounce,
$3.50; platinum, $50 ounces, $135; iri-
dunn, 1.6O ounces, s2SS; total value
per ton, S427s6
Other Tests.
A series of five samples of the ore
were tested last month by Portland
chemists. none of which showed iridi- |
UNI. but which returned the following 1
values in gold and platinum: Sample

WOULD RESTRAIN HECLA
FROM MAKING STAR DEAL
MRS. SMITH AND Mr.. DAY APP
PEAL TO coURT-ALLEGA-
TloNs IN COMPLAINT.

The action taken by Mrs. Sarah
Smith and Eugene r. Day in secur-
ing an order from Judge Blake, of
the superior court of Spokane, re-
straining the Hecla Mining company,
it's officers and directors, from per-
forming any act, official or otherwise
toward concentrating the purchase of
the Star in conjunction with the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan company, was an
ticipated here and created no sur
prise. This purchase had been agreed
upon by the directors and prelimin-
airy work has been started at the
Hecla preparatory to driving a cross
cut from the 1000 level of the Hecla
to a connection with the Star. In fact,
the crosscut was started this week.
Ratification of the Star deal was one
of the purposes for which the meet
ing of the Hecla stockholders is be-
ing held today in Spokane. The re-
straining order issued by Judge Blake
will prevent any action being taken
on the Star deal by the meeting and
will stop all work at the Hecla mine
in connection with the Star until the
hearing is held by the court on Sep
TENDER 2. The impression here is that
the court will promptly dismiss the
proceedings following the hearing.
The Complaint.
According to the Day daily, which
should know. the complaint alleges
that the Star property has no value
as a mining property; that the ore in
the Star runs about 10 per cent zinc,
8 per cent lead and IL ounces of sill
yer to the ton; that the directors,
when they held their meeting in Mil
waukee, had no facts before them on
which they could base their judgment
and that the deal was engineered |
solely by Mccarthy and Wakefield;
that Wakefield is attorney and one of |
the executors for the estates of A. B. !
Campbell and John A. Finch, and at /
Lorney in. the f. H. MOfitt estate, and |
that these estates are big holders of /

Mining company, but for the interests

IS IMPORTANT THAT
COTTON Be INSURED
FIRE MAY OCCUR AT ANY TIME
AND CAUSE GREAT LOSS
TO THE GROWERS.

Mr.. R. L. Saville has requested
The News to call the attention OF the
farmers to the importance OF lnsurmg
I their cotton if it is not sold when
brought to market In discussing the
matter Mr.. Saville said:
There is a great deal of cotton in
Dawson on which no insurance is car
riedr Dawson has not had cotton
fire in many years, and according to
the law of general averages and on &C
count of the very dry condition Qt eV-
erything one is possible at any mo-
ment. Automobiles are passing a great
number of bales constantly, and are
very likely to cause fire. One might
think that it is of no concern to any
one else as to whether or not his cot
ton was insured, but his creditors. III
many instances have as much interest
in the cotton as the grower himself.
Hence the matter Of insurance is one
of vital Importance to the grower s
creditors. for in case of fire they might
suffer or have to wait years for pay
ment Blake1y suffered a great cotton
fire last week, only third of the cot
ton being insured. Remember that II
cotton is worth 20 cents per pound 1t
is worth insuring."
