BUNKER HILL STRIKE
ORE ON DEEP LEVEL
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Means Mine in Position Con-
tinue Uusual Production
Indefinitely, Says Manager

TT HE GREAT Bunker Hill & Sui
Ivan ore body has been found
on the new 18th level 1900 feet
below the Kellogg tunnel, over
5000 feet below the surface and,
measured on the dip of the vein, prob
ably almost a mile from the apex. The
Importance of this new development
can hardly be over estimated II
definitely proves 200 feet of addi-
tlonal depth to this wonderful ore
shoot, and at the same time enlarges
the possibilities of ore development at
further depth. In confirming the in
formation regarding the strike yes
terday, Stanley A. Easton. general
manager of the Bunker Hill & Sulli-
van company, stated that while the
amount of work done since striking
the ore was not sufficient to indicate
its width, the ore is substantially OF
the same sraGe as that II the upper
levels and that all other conditions
are the same. In fact, he said the ore
was struck sooner than expected, from
which it may be inferred that the ore
shoot will prove to have greater
length on the new level. A few weeks
ago. in the course of a statement given
in the gold and silver inquiry Mr.
Easton referred to the future produc-
tive life of the Bunker Hill & Suli-
van in terms of decades rather than
years. Since finding the ore on this
new level, he intimated that the mine
is now in the heyday of its remark
able career and said that the Bunker
Hill is in position to continue its
present rate of production indefinitely.
The new level is only 100 feet above
the level of the sea, far below the
lowest depth attained by any other
mine in the district.
Worlds Greatest Lead Mine.
Measured by it's great ore bodies
productive capacity profits to its own
ers and disbursements in connection
with operation, the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan is unquestiona5ly the great
est lead silver mine the world has
ever known, and that it will maintain
this rank for many years does not
l.
who are still in doubt regarding the
future of mining in the Occur d'A-
lenes they should take courage by
contemplating the wonderful record of
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan and the
assurance contained in the forecast of
the management following the strike
on the new level The district may
not produce another Bunker Hill, but
it is only reasonable to assume that
the large and rich ore bodies of other
mines will continue to corresponding
depth. and that many new mines
some of them now about to enter the
productive stage. will be discovered
all combining to enrich the world by
bringing in new wealth and insuring
prosperity to the people of this ia
vored district throughout the lives OF
generations yet unborn.

Two Shifts Employed Drifting on
Recent Discovery.
Since the recent strike on the Alice,
an account of which was published
in the Miner a few weeks ago, much
has been accomplished in the way OF
preliminary work preparatory to car
rying out a development program fl
nanced by the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
company. Two shifts are employed
extending the drift on the ore dis
covered by C. w Maurer, who has a
lease and bond on the Alice, and
parties who visited the property this
week state that the face shows good
grade of lead-silver ore its full
width and which has the appearance
of the top of a great ore shoot. This
tunnel will attain a maximum depth
of probably 800 feet, and it is under
stood that this exploratory work will
be followed by deeper development,
probably from the shaft. Soon after
making the strike Mr.. Maurer, who
has been working alone, arranged
with the Bunker Hill company to di-
rect and finance further development,
which is expected to add the Alice to
the list of come back" mines.

Marsh Resumes.

After a forced suspension Of several
months, caused by the Hecla fire. the
Marsh Mines company this week re-
sumed development When work was
suspended the vein is said to have
been looking at its best, carrying con-
siderable ore and giving strong indi-
cation of approach to a commercial
ore body Under these favorable
conditions. the result of work at this
time is being watched with unusual
interest.

.Moore and Bear Top.

f. Cushing Moore came up from
Spokane the first of the week on
business connected with the Bear
TOP. upon which he holds a bond and
lease. Mr.. Moore will keep a few men
employed on development work dur
ing the winter and it is expected that
sufficient ore will be blocked out to
justify repairing and placing the mill
in operation in the spring. The Bear
Top is on Bear creek, on the North
side. and about six miles from Muir

State Will Begin Soon To Plant
Oyster Beds

The State Conservation Department
will begin this week to replenish the
oyster beds in Maryland waters.
About 100000 bushels of shells will
be dumped overheard on the depleted
beds so that the supply the coming
season will be increased greatly.
Conservation Commissioner Har-
rison w. Vickers was granted per-
mission by the Board of Awards to
buy the shells on credit Usually the
Commission has sufficient funds from
the tax on oysters to do this work Of
replenishing, but the oyster catch was
so small this year that the fund is
sadly depleted.
Collecting and dumping the shells
overheard will be the work of months.

STATE
CAPITAL
To Honor Real Dirt Farmers

College Park.-Real dirt farmers,
who have made outstanding achieve
ments in agriculture and who have
contributed to the progress of the In
dustry in the State, will this year be
honored by the University of Mary
land on Farmers Day, May rs, instead
of on commencement day, as formerly.
The transfer of this ceremony to
Farmers Day has been announced by
DR.. A. F. Woods, president Of the
institution, and probably will become
permanent feature of the annual
event.
The honor conferred on farmers for
actual accomplishment consists of a
certificate of merit awarded by the
faculty of the institution.
Those who have been chosen this
year for recognition are:
l. Wallace Heapes, Pylesville, Hal
ford county, for his accomplishments
as a dairyman and the work which
he has done to promote that industry
in Maryland. Mr.. Heapes is secretary
of the Maryland State Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION and has long been one of its
ardent promoters.
Samuel L. Byrn, Cambridge, Dor
chester county, for the work he has
done in introducing and promoting the
growing of market, garden and fruit
crops in his county, and for the work
he has done in the interest of legisla-
ton and organization for the farmers
in his county and State Mr.. Byrn
has been a member of the State Sen
ate for number of years and was re-
elected at the last election.
John Snowden, Laurel, Prince
Georges county, for his accomplish
ments as general farmer and for the
interest he has taken in agricultural
organization in his neighborhood and
the help he has given to agricultural
apprentices. Mr.. Snowden owns a
large farm on the Patuxent River near
Laurel, and is active in all commun-
ity enterprises.
w. H. Schrom, Berwyn, Prince
Georges county, for his accomplish
ments in poultry husbandry and his
cooperation in promoting poultry edu-
cation. Mr.. Schrom owns one of the
largest commercial poultry plants in
Maryland, and in the Judgment of
many is the most consistently sue
cessful poultryman in the State.

r Asst weeks most startling news
- came from China. A band of
Chinese bandits wrecked an express
train en- route from Shanghai to Pek-
ing and kidnapped large number of
passengers, including Ia Americans
and several Englishmen. Most Of the
women in the party were released
after being roughly treated. and some
men escaped, but the rest were car
ried of and $1,000,O00 ransom was
demanded by the outlaws. The Amer
lean and British state departments got
busy quickly and demanded that the
Chinese government bring about the
release Of the prisoners. Chinese
troops went in pursuit but the bandits
foiled them by placing their captiyes
In the front rank during the attack.
The Picking government then ordered
the Shantung province officials to pay
the ransom demanded and promised
to pardon the bandits on release of
their victims. At this writing it is
expected the kidnapped foreigners will
be freed within few days.
In addition to money and pardon,
the bandits, who were led by Colonel
Chow, an old offender, demanded In
corporation into the Chinese army. If
this is conceded it adds to the compli-
cations for at the Washington confer
ence China promised to reduce its
armed forces, Notwithstanding which
a large number Of bandits were taken
into the army last December. The
helplessness of the government is ex-
posed by this successful exploit of the
outlaws, and there is apprehension of
bandit attacks in other sections. The
foreign powers realize that last weeks
attack was mainly for the purpose of
embroiling the government, and that
the leaders of the various opposing
factions are hoping America and Brit
ain win withdraw recognition of 1t
