Occur d,AIene Syndicate.

A tremendous flow of water under
great pressure has been encountered
by the Occur d'Alene Syndicate in the
course of its development of the
Flynn ground, which has delayed pro-
gress, but which is expected to soon
be overcome. At this point the depth
from the surface is about $500 feet,
fact that indicates the possible pres
sure at the tunnel level.

- EPORTS CONCERNING the
strike in the Callahan mine
which have been current dur
ing the past few days. were
fully confirmed yesterday by c. w.
Newton, general manager of the Cal
lahan Zinc-Lead company After ex-
tending the shaft to No. IL level, a
crosscut was extended to the vein
and it was in this that the strike was
made. The crosscut has now passed
through the vein which proved to be
20 feet wide and 16 feet of which is
high grade milling ore. The ore is
substantially the character as that
found in the upper levels the zinc
and lead being in relatively the same
proportions. the only difference, if
any, being an increase in the amount
of lead. The No. IL level is 1850 feet
below the main working tunnel and
about $500 feet beneath the surface
Mr.. Newton pronounces the showing
as now exposed the best that has
been seen in the mine below No. 8
level 900 feet above, a fact that is
highly gratifying to the management
and stockholders. Another interest
ing fact in connection With the strike
is that it was mace iHrth,r west than
any ore that has here tofore been
found in the mine The vein having
been crescent, eight men were added
to the working force and drifting is

Another Th.e ~ Upset.
The discovery and development of
the great Callahan ore body was
notable contradiction of expert geo.
logical opinion regarding the ore
bearing formations of the Occur
d'Alene district The formation is
slate, while that of the other mines of
the district is quartzite Slate was
taboOed, not particularly because it
possessed characteristics peculiarly
repeilant to ore, but apparently be-
cause ore had never been found in
commercial quantities in that forma-
ton This theory took firm root in
mining circles of the district, and is
still in evidence in spite of the sue
cess of the Callahan in contradiction
to the theory 1t is interesting to re-
call at this time that this theory re-
garding slate was never accepted by
Robert N. Bell, for many years state |
mine inspector and his vewis respect |
ing it are recorded in several of his
annual reports.
The Ore Goes Down.
But even the exploitation of the |
great bonanza ore body of the Gala
han was not sufficient to remove the /
curse from slate in the minds of those |
who insist upon a fixed formula gov
erning the deposition of ore Predic
lions were common that the ore would
not 20 down. but each succeeding
level has been a complete refutal of
these pessimistic forecasts, and the
news published today should silence
them forever. Sixteen feet of high
grade milling ore in a strongly defn-
ed vein $500 feet beneath the sur
face! In the presence of this fact, it
is hardly likely that any one will have
the temerity to again say that ore
can not live in slate and that the Cal
lahan ore will not go down.

MINING MEN SHOW
FAITH IN THE FUTURE
Big Enterprises an
Offset to Present
Depression
PROOF OF A THEORY
Some Big Things Being Done
by Men Who Have Won
Success in Mining
PROOF OF A THEORY

wv HEN MINING operations are
M suspended or mineral pro-
wv duction curtailed for long
periods due to the absence
of demand for the metals, it has been
observed that at such times it almost
invariably happens that large mining
enterprises are undertaken as if to
defy the influences or elements re-
sponsible for the industrial depres-
sion, and to brighten the future by a
display of confidence that is reassur-
ing to those dependent upon the in
dustry This is the substance of a
statement made the other day by a
prominent operator of the district,
and he added that he had observed
this situation so often that he had
almost come to believe that there is
a natural law of compensation that
becomes operative at such times to
the condition. at least as
far as the state of mind is concern
ed, by divertng attention to the pros
pect of future prosperity and thereby
minimizing the ills of the present and
making them more bearable
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-08-11

Evidence is not lacking in the
Occur d'Alene district at this time to
bear out this very interesting and
certainly gratifying theory. It is
row almost a year since the high
freight rates and the slump in the zinc
market forced one of the big produc-
ing mines to suspend, which was soon
followed by the suspension of three
other mines due to the same causes
as applied to lead The outlook was
gloomy and has continued so from
the standpoint of payrolls and pro-
duction but the view is quite differ
ent when one looks to the future and
takes into account the big enterprises
that have been inaugrated in the
midst of these depressing conditions
and are being carried out with I'M
shaken confidence by men who have
achieved the greatest success in large
mining operations. They know that
there are better times ahead, that the
market for metals is coming back,
and they are preparing now to share
to the fullest extent in the prosperity
which is soon to return. Their atti-
tude properly understood clears away
the mists of doubt and uncertainty
and reveals the future of mining in
the Occur d'Alene district greater and
than ever before.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-08-11

Another enterprise of even greater
significance with respect to the future
is the electrolytic zinc reduction plant
that will soon be under construction
by the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany. This enterprise means the in
vestment of million dollars and con-
templates the development of the zinc
resources of the entire district, for
upon that win depend its ultimate
financial success. Zinc mining has
been seriously handicapped through
high freight rates to distant smelters
and it is this situation that induced

About so Feet.
The Blaine & Emmett Mining COM
pany, operating on Eagle creek, is
driving a crosscut tunnel which has
now been advanced about 600 feet
and which is expected to cut the vein
within about so feet and at a depth
of more than 400 feet from the sur
face. The vein is reported to carry
lead. silver and copper. The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
company was held in Murray last
week. when NJ. Heblethwaite was
elected president. Bert Kincaid vice
president, and r. w Skeman secre-
tary- treasurer.

Another important enterprise equal
ly significant of confidence in the flu
ture of mining in the Occur 'd'Alenes
is the operations of the Occur d'Alene
Svndicatae. exploring ground joining
the star and backed by men cOntroll-
ing unlimited capital and famed for
their mining success in this and other
lands. The large expenditure this
company is making in the develop
nent of the Flynn groups of claims
would not be made if there was the
slightest doubt in the minds of the
hackers of the enterprise regarding
the future Of mining in the Occur
d'Alene district.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-08-11

Consider the purchase price and
plans for the development and oper-
alton of the Star by the Bunker Hill
e Sullivan and the Hecla Mining
companies. conceived and undertaken
in "the winter of our discomfort"
Certainly the heads of these great
companies would not enter into this
gigantic enterprise if they entertain
ed the slightest doubt regarding Star
ore deposits and the future of the
market for Coeur d'Alene metals. The
bare fact that they are making this
vast outlay at this time is the best
proof of their confidence in the future
and inspires ali others who are en-
gagged in mining or who are depend
ent upon the mining industry with
confidence

Robbed While Away

The apartment of Mr. and Mrs.
John d. McColm, in Huntington, w.
Va, was broken into while they were
out for the evening on January 9Th.
About 800 in money, 800 in War
Stamps, a fine revolver and other
articles taken. 1t is supposed that
the thieves we've frightened away
when the owner Of the apartment re-
turned home. An envelope with a
twenty dollar gold piece and check
belonging to Mrs. McColm were
dropped on the rear porch by the
robbers as they ran out Of the rear
door to an automobile in an alley.
Blood hounds could do no good in
trailing them, but later some high
school boys confessed to the rob
berry. The revolver was recovered
from a pawn broker, but the money
and stamps were not located.

Tobacco Selling Fast
AT Lowest Prices

At the Whitehall yesterday 1867
O7O pounds of a very inferior Offer
ing of tobacco was sold for an aver
age of 1925 per hundred At the sale
at the Farmers house the previous
day 127050 pounds was disposed Of
at 1926. Prices remain about the
same as on Tuesday and growers are
taking whatever is offered, as there
seems to be no choice in the matter.
A sale is in progress today at the
Robertson, but no figures we're avail
able at the time this report was
closed. Tobacco is coming in rapidly
today and the streets are literally
lined with wagons in the tobacco dis
trict.
The tobacco brought to the local
brakes to date has been Of excep-
tionally common quality and this has
much to do with the low averages
secured by the local houses. At Lex
ington yesterday, however, where
they always have better crop than
is raised in this section, the aver
age was only between IL and IL
cents.
The outlook, while far from a rosy
one for the growers, is about all
that could be expected, and the
sooner they dispose of it and '1et
the past bury its dead" the better off
they and this entire section will be.
Now is the time to brighten up and
plan for the future.

Shooting in Breathitt

Edward and Scott Tharp and
"Hops" Davis, father n-law of the
latter, became involved in a family
row late Tuesday afternoon at their
home at Buckthorn, in Breathitt Co.,
and a number Of shots were ex-
changed. The three men, all badly
wounded, were taken to Quicksand,
the nearest railroad point, where
they were placed on cots in bag
gage car and taken to a hospital
in Lexington. 1t is thought that Scott
Tharp will recover, but the others
are in a serious condition and hope
for their recovery has been aban-
doned. The shooting occurred short
ly after A o'clock. "Hops" Davis
shot his son-in-law and Scott
Tharp, hearing the shots, rushed to
his brothers assistance. Both men
grappled with Davis and in the
seuffle Scott Tharp was also shot.
Edward Tharp, then, according to
advices received from Breathitt Co.,
finally wrested the revolver from his
father-in- laws hands and shot him
three times. Davis, is is said, is be-
lieved to be of unsound mind.
