OF ORE ABOVE NO. 6

After drifting on ore for abOut
400 feet ON No 6 tunnel level. the
management of the Galena Mining
company the first OF the week
started a raise about midway of
the ore shoot for the purpose OF
proving the extent of the ore
above the tunnel The raise will

followed with other raises at in
teVals of 100 feet to block out
the ore with the view to early
production Drifting has been
discontinued for the present. al
though there is a good showing of
ore i'm the face which includes s
inches of high grade Assuming
that the ore ON this level is idenu-
cal with the shoot exposed ON the
400 shaft level the work ON Galena
has made available large tonnage
and the next step will logically be
to make arrangements for milling
facilities to which it is believed
the management is now giving at
tention. Development of Galena
has produced most gratifying re-
suits. and the prospect of a new
producing mine at an early date
adds a cheering feature to the all
ready bright outlook for mining in

The Oreano Mining company has let
a contract TO crosscut 300 feet and the
contractors are now preparing to
speed up the work as rapidly as posi-
bic. The formation is hard and hand
work is slow so in order to complete
the work as quickly as possible the
contractors agreed to install a COM

crosscut will soon be going forward
rapidly with machine drills. The Ore
ano group joins the ground Of the
Sherman Lead company on the south
AMI also extends along the south line
of the Crown Point claim, one of the
Tamarack & Custer group. A cross
cut from the Oreano found the ore
shoot in the Sherman, and the Sher-
man vein is understood to be identi-
cal with the Tamarack & Custer. It's
position in the Sherman indicates
that it passes into the Ore
ano ground. and it is on that theory
that the crosscut is now being driven
by the Oreano company.

KEENAN, MINING COMPANY.
Rumors That Important Development
Will Soon Be Undertaken.

Will Soon Be Undertaken.
It is learned that recently represen-
tatives of large financial interests in
the east made a thorough inspection
of the large group of claims on Pony
eulch owned by the KEENAN, Mining
company and that as a result Of a
favorable report the property will be
taken over and development is ex-
pected to start this fall. The claims
making up the KEENAN, group were ac-
auired years ago by Colonel Chester
n. KEENAN,, both by purchase and 10
cation. The ground includes the fam
GUS old Fay Templeton property, to
which development so far has been
chiefly confined and which has result
ed in showing up important deposits
of gold and tungsten. But the lead
silver and zinc possibilities Of the
KEENAN, group are quite as important
as the more precious metals, for the
ground is believed to cover the west

Work Suspended Until After Meeting
of Directors in St. Paul.
It was matter of considerable sur
prise and disappointment that the
Paragon Consolidated Mining company
found it necessary to suspend opera
tons at a time when everything was
understood to be in readiness to begin
production. II is not known here why
this sudden action was taken. but it is
assumed that whatever il was it will
not keep the property in idleness long
The installation of electric power by
the Washington Water Power company
was completed only a short time ago,
and it was understood that as soon as
certain repairs were made at the mill
the company would begin production;
also that work would start in the
shaft. Following the suspension, Chris
l. Grimsmoe superintendent of the
Paragon, left for St Paul to attend
meeting of the directors of the COM
pany.

ing to Report.
Although the workings of the Mon
tana-Idaho property at Adair are in
this county and there is much inter-
est felt in the results of this big de-
velopment enterprise the absence Of
direct communication makes it diff
cult to obtain reliable information re-
garding it, However, this week It
was learned through what appears to
be a reliable channel that since the
ore was struck the drift has been ex-
tended about 125 feet easterly or to-
ward the Monitor shaft and that the
shoot is II feet wide and will average
or 4 per cent copper This under
normal conditions could doubtless be
mined at a good profit, particularly in
view of the large tonnage available.
The finding of commercial copper ore
at this depth, 1900 feet from the sur
face is a matter of great Importance
to the copper belt and will result in
making it less difficult TO finance de-
velopment enterprises in that section

AMY MATCHLESS STRIKE
MAY SOON Be PRODUCER
FOUR FEET MILLING ORE AND
EIGHTEEN INCHES OF
HIGH GRADE.

Brief reference was made last week
to a reported strike by the Amy
Matchless Mining company on Pine
creek and since then the report has
been fully confirmed by Gus A. Smith,
manager of the company The strike
was made in a raise from the main
tunnel level on the Amy ground and
about 5000 feet from the portal This
raise was started on the vein, which
carried about IS inches of ore of fair
grade along the foot wall The
amount and grade of the ore steadily
increased until at height of about 40
feet there was feet of good milling
ore besides about foot of high grade
lead silver ore next TO the foot wall
At this point a horizontal fault appar-
entity changed the dip of the vein
more nearly to the perpendicular and
from there the raise has been con
tinued in the foot wall. Since leaving
the vein openings have been made in
to it at intervals of 10 or II feet all
showing Improvement in the ore. The
last is at height of 125 feet above
the level and shows more than feet
of high grade mill feed and about is
inches of first class ore next to the
foot wall. 1t is proposed to extend
the raise 25 feet further and then
drift on the vein.
Much Stopping Ground.
To fully appreciate the importance
of this ore deposit, it should be under
stood that it is $50 feet from the tun-
mel level to the surface or about 400
feet following the dip of the vein.
There is a wonderful outcrop Of the
vein just above this raise, varying
from to - feet wide, which assays
4 or > per cent lead about > ounces OF
silver and some copper; in fact there
is some copper associated with Amy
Matchless ore throughout the entire
a feature that is quite com
mon with the big lead-silver ore bod
les of the district. The fine showing
of ore in the raise taken with the re-
markable outcrop with its mineral
content indicates that the ore shoot
will be continuous practically to the
surface. This means a large stoplng
area making a large tonnage available
for a mill without resOrting to the ex-
pense of sinking and hosting the ore
Mill Under Consideration.
Important as this strike is it really
only one of several open
ngs where ore has been exposed and
is available for milling. About 1000
feet in from the portal of the tunnel
raise was made in ore for so feet, from
which slopes were opened and two
shipped which returned rs

Getting Back to Normal.
This is the third cut in the prices
of explosives this year The first was
on February 20, when the price of 40
per cent gelatin was reduced s115 per
100 pounds 60 per cent gelatin was
reduced s1.65 per 100 pounds, and the
price of stumping powder was cut 65
cents per 100 pounds. The second
cut was on July 1, when a flat reduc-
ton of 60 cents per 100 pounds was
made on all grades of powder This
reduction was the direct result of the
reduction of freight rates which went
into effect on that date The reduc-
ton now announced brings the retail
prices of powder down to within about
25 per cent of pre-war prices.
Compared With Peak War Prices.
Discussing the powder situation
yesterday E f. King, of Spokane,
general representative OF the DUPONT
company in eastern Washington and
uorthern Idaho, recalled that the peak
RETAIL price of 40 per cent gelatin
Which is the grade more generally in
ase was $3.50 per 100 pounds while
that of so per cent gelatin reached s35
Der 100 pounds. The prices now in
effect therefore represent a reduction
since war times of practically $40 per
100 pounds on 40 per cent powder and
S12 per 100 pounds on so per cent Mr.
King also stated that the reduction
now announced brings the price OF
powder at the factory down to only 81
above the normal or pre-war prices.
which he felt removed all cause for
on the part Of consumers
of explosives. THE greater difference
between the retail prices and those
that prevailed before the war is ex-
planned by the higher freight rates
and costs of handling.

~ I - ! II 10 IN y r Dttu posted al
all the mines of the district
announcing an increase OF
wages effective on October /.
This action was taken mt meeting of
the executives of the mines in this city
last week. and is the direct result of
the steady advance in the price Of
lead, which ON the day of the meeting
registered another advance. making
the price cents per pound The price
has since advanced to 6IOc. 1t is
worthy of note also that the increase
was announced voluntarily on the part
of the mining companies. They had
doubtless long realized that the stand
ara of wages in the mines was not in
harmony with the cost of living, but
as "a purely business proposition they
evidently did not feel justified in max
ing the increase until there was a
pronounced advance in the price OF
lead and the future market condi-
lions seemed more secure. These CON
ditions having taken a most favorable
turn, the operators were quick to give
their employees the benefit of the i'm
proved situation.

timbermen will receive an increase OF

The FORD OFFER
IS ENDORSED AT
Big MASS MEETING
Georgia People Attend Mass meet
ing in Atlanta Sunday to hear
Ex-Governor O'Neal

More than three thousand people
of this section of Georgia attended
the great mass meeting held at the
Auditorium in Atlanta last Sunday
afternoon, as an endorsement of the
Ford offer for Muscle Shoals.
A large number of Marietta people
We're in attendance and the entire pro-
gram was one of special interest and
enjoyment. Ex-Governor O'Neal was
the principal speaker, and delivered
IA stirring address as to advantages
to the South if Ford is successful in
securing Muscle Shoals. He bitterly
denounced the Alabama Power Com
pany for what he claimed it's selfish
hight to defeat the Ford offer and to
gain possession of the South's great
est water power project.
A State organization was effected
to help carry on an enthusiastic and
ractive campaign in support of Ford's
offer, and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, that we, the citizens of
Atlanta and the adjoining commune
ties here assembled, do unqualified
ly endorse the bid of Henry Ford for
Muscle Shoals properties in the State
Tof Alabama, and be it further
Resolved; that we have a strong be-
lief in the integrity and the ability
of Henry Ford; that we believe that
he will operate the great water power
of Muscl Shoals in the interest of the
people of the United States; that he
will reduce the price of fertilizer thru
out the United States and that he will
utilize the great water power in gen
Grating electrical power and furnish
ing to all the adjoining territory Of
Muscle Shoals electricity at a great
ly reduced price if he is successful in
obtaining possession of this and be
it further
Resolved; that we have faith in
his financial ability to operate these
properties, and that he will furnish
employment to thousands of men and
women, who are today without en-
ployment, in all of our communities,
and be it further
"Resolved, that we pledge our
selves to assist our great sister State,
Alabama, in any and all her efforts
to obtais endorsement Of Henry
Ford's bid to take over these prop
critics, and be it further
Resolved; that it is of the utmost
importance that the committees in
Washington in charge of this matter
act with expedition, and that we be-
seech them not to delay in awarding
the Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford"
