THE Wallace Miner Gan authority
in its issue of November 10, 1921, says:
The Amazon Dixie is perhaps the
most remarkable development enter
prise in the history of the district and
every step in its progress has been a
credit to the management and to the
loyalty of the stockholders. Starting
with a showing of ore on the surface
that created a sensation at the time It
was discovered and which has every
evidence of being the top of a large
body of ore. a crosscut tunnel through
which the vein was explored at
depth of 700 feet found much low
grade ore, but not of a grade and
quantity to permit profitable produc-
tion. A shaft was sunk from this tun-
mel 400 feet from which levels opened
at 200 feet and from the bottom show
ed a marked improvement in the ore
while geological study indicated that
with further extension the shaft should
pass from the st. Regis to the Revett
formation, a change highly favorable
to ore. The change has now taken
place and confidence is thereby
that when the shaft is
to the 1900 level and
run to the vein, the long
sought ore body will be a reality and
the Amazon Dixie will soon thereafter
enter the list of producing mines

Review of Bullion.

An interesting report has just been
mailed to Bullion stockholders by Man
ager Taylor, covering development
work and results accomplished, costs
and plans to be taken up this season
with the view of placing the property
on a productive basis. The report fol-
lows:
"On January u, 1914 a proposal was
made to stockholders for the driving
of a lower tunnel on our property, to
tap the vein at an estimated depth of
455 feet below the ore as developed in
tunnel No. 2. 1t was calculated at
that time that this lower tunnel would
reach the vein at 1888 feet, and that it's
cost would be $4,000, the arrangement
then made being that stockholders
should receive additional stock in Bull
lion, and also stock in the Copper Chief
company for assessments levied up to
cents to carry on this work.
This plan was carried out The
tunnel was driven jointly by the Cop
per Chief and Bullion companies. At
distance OF 2419 feet we encountered
diabase dixie which proved to be $50
feet in width. This dixie is apparently
responsible for the disturbed con-
ditions which for a distance made
it difficult to locate the vein.
We reached the vein, however, after
having driven 1896 feet, and found it
to be q feet wide carrying low values
in copper, gold and silver, in a heavy
magnetic and siderite gangue. This
was in August, 1917 Since that time
our efforts have been directed to ex-
ploring the vein by drifts and short
crosscuts. We have to date drifted for
7S9 feet. and have driven four small
crosscuts. totalling about 100 feet. This
work on the vein has demonstrated its
strength and continuity and we have
opened three shoots of good grade
milling ore
IN May, 1921, a raise from No.
tunnel was started and is in milling
ore with some high grade We have
the sill sets in for so feet with chute
pockets in place to start stopping on the

Stevens had a revolver and returned
the fire, according to the story. 4

on shore brought Stevens and two 9th

he cut the boat loose from the barge

said the men on shore continued TO

GUILTY Of MURDER.
SAYS JURY IN LIFE
INSURANCE: KILLING
Bert ]. Lowe Convicted of
Staying Sister-in-Law
for $4,000.

Greeley. Colo, Dec 9.--Bert ]
Lowe was found guilty by jury IL
district court here Saturday night OF
first degree murder for the death Of
his sister-in law, Miss Edna Ferr
skinner of Leroy, Illinois, last July :
The verdict was returned at lO:9
o'clock. The case was given to the jury
at $50 o'clock Saturday night.
Lowe had retired for the night anc
was sound asleep when bailIff went
to his cell to summon him 20 the
court room to hear the verdict or the
Jury. Judge Bradfield granted the de-
fense 80 days in which to file mo-
ton for a new trial.
Judge Bradfied congratulated the
iurv on it's verdict. He declared they
had brought in just and fair finding
in the case.
Under the instructions given the jury
by Judge Bradfield the verdict of first
degree murder was the only one which
could be brought in aside from
acquittal.
The penalty for first degree murder
in Colorado. on conviction upon cir
cumstancial evidence, is life imprison-
ment.
The state charged that Lowe killed
Miss Skinner in the Lowe home with a
machine hammer which was found in
the house shortly after the discovery
of her body, and then set fire to the
body and house, after dismantling a
gasoline stove in the kitchen to make
it appear as though it had exploded.
The state claimed that Lowe hoped
TO collect $4,000 life insurance which
he had sold Miss Skinner and in which
he was named as beneficiary and on
which he had paid the premiums.
The defense pleaded that Miss Skin
ner was killed by the force of an ex-
plosion of the gasoline stove which
she was lighting preparatory to heat
ing water to take bath and the sub
sequent fire which partially destroyed
the Lowe home.

Failing in this, the program calls for
the institution from the ranks of each
