ASSERT NEW PLAN JUST.

Supporters of the new-reapportion
ment plan however, declared 1t
was "just and fair" giving no politicai
advantage anywhere in that a much
larger increase was given Northern
Republican States than those of the
Solid South" Senator Pepper OF
Pennsylvania, author Of the commit.
tee resolution revising the convention
roll, declared that through the larger
proportionate increase for the Norsh
and the restoT alton of a delegate TO
each congressional district Of the coun
try. 1T was fair and equitable basis.
After completing the convention
plans the national committee and the
associate women members we're guests
of President and Mrs. Coolidge at lun-
cheon at the White House.
Before adjournment Chairman
Adams appointed committees on conven
ton arrangements policies and pla.

adopted resolutions expressing their
sense of loss in the death of Pres. Hard
ing. Resolutions also were adopted in
memory of deceased committeeman.
The new convention roll of 1.1O9
was adopted after viva voce vote, ur
on motion Of Charles d. Hilles, Now
York member. to reconsider the reap
portionment providing for 1 036 dele
gates with reduced Southern represen
tation, as ordered by the 1920 conven-
ton.
This followed the protests against
the 1.O36 basis yesterday by Southern
committeeman and a delegation CT
Negroes. They demanded what the com
mittee today provided--that one dele
gate should be given congressional dis
trict, regardless of the Republican vote
cast therein. The reapportionment OF
1,O36 would have deprived several
Southern States Of many delegates.
The new reapportionment was order
ed despite Senator Howell's assert
ions that the committee had no power
to upset the plan reducing tho South
ern strength.
ADD 1875 DELEGATES.
Under the new basis of 1 100 dele

EFFORT To- LOWER QUOTA OF
REPUBLICAN DELEGATION FROM
THE SOUTH IS FRUSTRATED.
Plan Adopted Really Means Slight Increase
Over Former Roll Cleveland Chosen
as G. O.P. Convention City

Washington Dec.-The 1924 RepdN.
lican National Convention will be held
at Cleveland as favored by administra
ton leaders. and will assemble on
June 10.
In making t'ris decision today the
Republican National Committee, in
annual meeting also upset it's dele
gate reapportionmenL designed to de-
crease the power of Southern States in
the convention and voted, after a
sharp fight to maintain the South's
representation while at the same time
increasing largely the voting strength
of Northern Republican States. Under
the new reapportionment there will be
100 delegates in the 1924 convention
tire largest in the party's history-as
compared with 9S4 in 1920.
CLEVELAND is EASY WINNER.
Cleveland with the administration
backing, was an easy winner of the
convention. With Chicago withdrawn
under administration behest, the vote
was 80 for Cleveland, 10 for San Fran
cisco and / for Des Moines. but Cleve-
lands selection la-er was made unani
nous. Chicago will now attempt to Oh
lain the Democratic National Conven.
tion which is to be arranged here at
meeting of the Democratic National
Committee on January Is.
With the choice of Cleveland fore.
gone conclusion, the unexpected fight
over the convention reapportionmenr
furnished the chief interest Of the final
meeting today of the Republican lead
ers. The proposal for restoration of the
Southern delegates promptly develop
ed into new campaign issue. 1t was
attacked vigorously by Senator Howell
Of Nebraska. who led an unsuccessful
fight against it's adoption, as ''dis
tinct backward STEP" He express n
fear that the seeds sown" might rear
harvest similar TO the Bull Moose
breach of 1912.

LOCAL OIL COMPANY.
Develop Attractive Holdings in Shell
by-Sunburst Field.

Articles of Incorporation of the Van
Oil & Gas company have been pre-
pared and will be filed within the next
few days This company is organic
ed and promoted by residents of Wal
lace, Kellogg and Burke and will be
strictly a Shoshone county organiza-
ton. The company is formed for the
purpose of taking over and drilling
for oil and gas on a S20-acre tract in
the Shelby Sunburst oil field. The
company's holdings are most favor
ably located with producing wells
within a radius of one and a half
miles and other wells now being drill
ed on three sides. The Shelby
oil field has proven itself a re-
markable field owing to the large
number of producing wells brought in
at low cost within the last year and
the large amount of activity that is
now going on there. The producing
sands are found around a depth of
1900 feet and have been drilled to pro-
duction in II days, the largest Of
which is rated as a 5O00-barrel well.

COPPER KING COMPANY
EXPLORE BIG ORE BODY
LET'S CONTRACT TO DIAMOND
DRILL GROUNDWORK is
NOW IN PROGRESS.

The Copper King Mining company
at Mullan has awarded a contract to
the Diamond Drill Contracting COM
pany of Spokane for 1900 feet of dia-
mond drill work. and the diamond
drill crew is now at the property in
full charge of operations.
The Copper King company was or
ganized in 1901 and expended about
100000 in development work at the
head of Sonora gulch, above Burke,
driving 1900 feet of tunnel with num-
erous crosscuts and raise and winze
work. This achievement opened up a
! fssure vein showing from one to three
feet of galena ore, with a length of
about $50 feet. At this stage of the
operations the property was taken
under bond by the Greenoughs at 20
cents per share. Under their direction
winze was put down on the ore
body a distance of 100 feet, where it
showed some improvement over the
tunnel level.
Market depressions about that time
caused the Greenoughs to surrender
their option. During their period of
ownership the stock in the company
sold up to as high as Ga cents per
share.
Prove Large Ore Body.
The Copper King company then re-
sumed operations by starting a new
lower tunnel in the west fork of
Deadman gulch in an effort to open
the vein 1000 feet deeper. This tun-
mel was started in 1908 and completed
for distance of one mile in length in
1910 at a cost of s14.5O per foot, in
Guiding all equipment. The straight
drive was continued 500 feet beyond
the vein system before drifting on the
vein was commenced. Later drifts
were run both east and west on the
vein. About 100 feet east of the main
tunnel the vein and ore were cut off
by a heavy fault. Drifting was then
continued west and an ore shoot prov
en- in that direction for over $50 feet
in length, and which averages from 4
to Is and 80 feet wide. During this
development about 10000 tons of ore
was extracted and placed in a stock
dump and out of which one carload of
high grade was hand sorted.
The present diamond drill campaign
will prospect this ore body midway
between the upper and lower tunnels
at widely separated points covering
the entire $50 feet of ore exposed in
the lower tunnel, and if this work is
successful mining operations will be
resumed on an extensive scale. The
property is fully equipped with cleo
trio power and machinery and the
diamond drilling will progress rapidly.

lied what they aptly named the Hi
larity club This organization with
its carefully selected membership
thrived for many years, and its big
annual event was the establishment Of
camp during the heated term in the
cooling shades of the North Fork, the
st. Regis or some other of the famed
trout streams of this favored section
1t was on one of these occasions that
this hilarious bunch conceived the
idea of developing a mine, and they
found a prospect to their liking on
Denver gulch, a tributary of Pine
creek. A company was organized to
take over the property and it was
properly chrstened the Hilarity Min
ing company. Well, to make long
story short. the company year after
year performed the annual assess
ment work and sometimes a little
more. In the meantime the members
of the club left the district, some died,
until finally few were left of the orig
inal stockholders. Then the Hilarity
was consolidated with adjoining pro-
perty and a new company organized
called the Pine Creek Mining & Mill
ing company
Again Called Hilarity.
This company within recent years
extended the tunnel on the south side
of Denver gulch which resulted in
showing up a large body of low grade
cut 200 feet from the portal proved
the vein to be IS feet wide. Further
work along the foot wall showed
steady improvement in the ore and
gave the property a very flattering
outlook. In order to finance the en-
terprise, the company was recently
reorganized, the old name restored,
this time the Hilarity LeadSilver
Mining company, and under that name
the development of the property is
proceeding with results that indicate
the making of a mine. The drift along
the foot wall has now been advanced
over 100 feet from the crosscut, max
ing the total length of the tunnel up
wards of 300 feet The entire face of
the drift is reported in ore. with an
average of about two feet of lead-sil-
yer of good grade. An average sam
pie of this ore was recently made by
the Bunker Hill smelter which return
ed ounces in silver, "a per cent lead
and 1917 per cent zinc. A picked sam
pie assayed 81 ounces silver, SO.2 per
cent lead and 1877 per cent zinc. The
balance of the face shows ore that is
pronounced good mill feed.
Three Claims Cover Vein.
The Hilarity company owns II
claims and the vein now being devel-
Oped extends the length of three |
claims. The face of the tunnel is now |
beneath a big iron outcrop and its ex-
tension 1000 feet will attain a depth !
Of $50 feet, and indications are all ia
VOraDle Tor the development Oh q large
body of commercial ore by the time
that distance is run. There is a good
road to the portal of the
tunnel which is only a quarter of
nile from the surveyed line of the
Pine creek railroad.
From all of which it will be seen
hat the members of the Hilarity club
we're wiser than they knew when they
bought a prospect on Denver gulch
and called it Hilarity.
