The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1922-08-10

Coincident with the closing of the
contract the Northern Pacific an
nounced what is called a smelling in
transit" rate on ores from the Occur
.dAlene district to East Helena. AS
understood, ores consigned to the East
Helena plant are billed at the usual
$3.50 rate. but after the actual lead
content has been determined at the
smelter the tonnage represented by
the metal is deducted and freight
charged only against the gangue or
waste associated with the ore. The
importance of this deduction is indi-
Gated by the fact that the usual ship
ment of concentrates from this district
averages about As or so per cent lead
Upon being advised of this smelling
in transit" rate, the Bunker Hill smell
ter protested to the interstate COM
merce commission and asked for its
suspension for three months to per
nit a formal hearing, but the request
was denied. It is understood that the
Bunker Hill will renew its application
for hearing, claiming that the new
rate deprives it of its natural and
rightful advantage in the local field.
Another grievance the Bunker Hill
has against the Northern Pacific is
the refusal of that company to estab-
nsh rates on ore from Montana points
to Bradley, and it is probable that this
will also be taken up with the inter
state commerce commission.

REX GETTING GOOD ORE
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL
PREPARE TO EXTEND RED MON
ARCH cRosscUT TO CON-
Meet WITH SHAFT.

F. Il. Murray, mining engineer for
the Rex Consolidated Mining COM
pany, came up from Spokane the first
of the week for the purpose of in
speeding operations at the mine and
arranging for new work The latter
level between tunnels No l and ,, the
distance between the two being about
200 feet. The intermediate is about
midway between them. A dixie inter
sects the vein on the three levels, and
on the east side of the dixie the vein
has been very productive. On the
west side, however, the ground has
not been explored. A contract has
now been let to Paul Meacham, who
has long had charge of development
work at the Rex. to extend a drift
west of the dixie on the inter
mediate level and his work has al
ready exposed a most encouraging
showing There is about inches of
good ore, while the remainder of the
vein is heavily mineralized and has
every Indication of making ore A
continuance of this favorable showing
with the steady improvement noted
will result in adding a large tonnage
which may justify the operation of
the mill.
Okanogan Crosseut.
Work was suspended some time ago
in the crosscut being run south to
the Okanogan vein, after having been
driven 1S6 feet leaving 124 feet to go.
1t is probable, Mr. Murray said that a
contract will soon be let to complete !
this crosscut. A crosscut from the
shaft disclosed good ore in the Okan-
ogan vein.
Red Monarch.
Mr. Murray was unable to state |
just when work would start in the
Red Monarch crosscut as there is
preliminary arrange
ments to be made before work can |
start in the face This includes re-
placing light rails with heavy ones |
putting in new compressed air pipe |
and air pipe for ventilation. The COM
pressor has recently been Overhauled !
and is now in good working condition. |
The Red Monarch tunnel starts from |
NIissoula gulch. on the Beaver creek |
side of the divide, and has been driven |
south 400 feet. or to within about !
1000 feet from a point beneath the Rex |
shaft. The Red Monarch company |
has been absorbed by the Rex, and |
the purpose of the Rex management |
IS now to extend this great crosscut !

THE charge has bsen made in some

movement Kenyon headed win move
along to its appointed end. That may
BE- two years or it may be more than
two. That depends upon the griev-

tons that bred these grievances.
When farm prices level up and other
prices level down, the storm will be
ending and the political ground-swell
only will remain. The movement ia

One Of the arms conference secrets
which was not revealed in the last
act of the naval drama concerns the
dimensions Of the four great Hood"
capital ships the British planned to
build. 1t came to the knowledge of
tho American delegation during the
conference that the specifications call
ed for a quartet Of $4,000 ton mon
sters. Such displacement doubtless
would have meant batteries Of 18-inch
guns and speed of 80 knots, consti-
tuting the mightiest warships ever
designed. 1t is considered an achieve
ment of major magnitude that ways
and means were found at Washing
ton for blocking the introduction Of
naval engines of such size into the
field Of international rivalry. Had
the British built 49,0O0-ton ships,
America and Japan would have had
to follow suit. Where the competi-
ton eventually might have led to

REFUSES BUS line
T0ALASKAAVENUE
Commission Turns Down Pc.
tition of Sixteenth
Street CitizGSls.

The application to extend the
Buchanan street bus line of the
Washington Rapid Transit Company
to the District line at Alaska and
Georgia avenues was refused by the
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day.
The petition had the support of the
Sixteenth Street Citizens Associa-
lion, and the applicants were given
a public hearing several weeks ago.
The commission stated that half
of this route runs through an un-
improved section, with stretches of
Rock Creek Park and the grounds
Of the Walter Reed Hospital on
either side The section north Of
Walter Reed Hospital is already
served by the Georgia avenue line OF
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, while the section ly-
ing between Buchanan street and
Kennedy street Is now adequately
served by the Fourteenth street car
line Of the Capital Traction Com
pany.
1t was stated that the extension
would add to competition without
enabling the Washington Rapid
ransit Company to secure enough
patronage to make operation of the
extension profitable.

Find Stolen Car
In Raid on Still
Virginia Officers Will Return
Automobile to Admiral
Stitt.

Among other things found in
raid on a moonshine still near Lees
burg. Va, early Friday, was the
automobile stolen from Rear Ad-
mIral E. r. Stitt october 2. The
car was reported as having been
taken from Eighteenth street be-
tween b and c streets northwest
while the admiral was in the new
Navy building.
The auto apparently had been
used in the transportation of sup
nlies to and corn whisky from the
still. District and Maryland license
tags caused the authorities to look
up it's ownership.
The recklessness of those en-
gagged in such operations was evil
denced by the fact that nothing
had been done to change or con-
ceaI the identity of the car. Local
police headquarters apprised Ad-
miraI Stitt of the finding last night
and today Detective Davis will
leave for Leesburg with the neces-
sary papers to bring back the car.

LIVE FOWLS RULED
OUT OF u. S. MAILS

Contrary to general belief, live
fowls and domestic animals are not
mailable. 1t was disclosed at the Post
Office Department yesterday. when
an amendment to the postal regula-
tions was issued clarifying this fea-
ture for the benefit of postmasters.
For more than a year live fowls
and domestic animals were accept
able for mailing when the journey
was made by motor truck. This rul-
ing was revoked April 5, 1921. but
under another regulation live fowls
and small domestic animals have
been accepted for shipment.
Day-old chicks are still mailable
when their journey can be completed
within seventy-two hours. Harmless
live animals having no offensive odor
and requiring no food and water In
transit also may be sent In the mails.
This includes live alligators up to
twenty inches in length.
