sin does not take it's stand by the side

numerous other occasions wrote fms
to the repeater The Sachtjen bill,
amending the search and seizure
clause Of the Severson act, was de-
fested a few weeks ago by a roll call

amendment to provide for referen.
dums on the Seyerson law repeal, the
repeal Of the Eighteenth amendment

ClintonviIle- Practically al the pa
irons Of at least two cheese factories
IN the territory tributary TO Clinton
vile have signed up TO have their
herds Of cattle tested for tuberculosis.
Early this spring a local newspaper
offered a silk banner TO the factory
whose patrons should be the first to
make a clean sweep Of the "TB" test.
Partly because OF the interest thus
created and partly because Of the fact
that Waupaca county IS becoming a
big buying market for high grade cat
tie, there now is an agitation looking
to a clean sweep Of the county in an
effort to free the county from all
traces Of tuberculosis and thus to still
further increase the popularity of the
county for buyers Of milk cattle and
also to eradicate any tendencies to
disease which may result from bovine
tuberculosis.

Holly has pursued. He has been

price which the consumer pays" But
the senate paid no heed.
The method to be pursued. accord

MOONLIGHT VEIN WILL
SOON Be CUT BY AJAX
TWELVE HUNDRED FEET YET
REMAINS TO BE RUN TO
THE AJAX VEIN.

The Ajax crosscut is now the cen
der of much interest owing to it's near
approach to the Moonlight vein. This
crosscut, designed to develop the Ajax
at great depth has its portal a short
distance above Burke and is passing
through the Moonlight ground to
reach the Ajax The crosseut is now
expected to cut the Moonlight vein
any day and at a depth of about SOC
feet below the Moonlight tunnel driv-
en- from Gorge gulch. While the eX-
tended work on the tunnel level dis
closed no ore in commercial quantities,
the conditions were all favorable to
ore, hence the unusual interest among
Moonlight stockholders and the public
generally in the extension of the Ajax
crosscut to the Moonlight vein.
Ajax Vein Next.
But even greater interest attaches
10 the extension of this great crosscut
10 the Ajax, for this company has ac-
tually developed quite an important
ore shoot in its old workings which
has steadily improved with addition
al depth. From the Moonlight tunnel
a crosscut has been run to the Ajax
vein, and from this the vein was ex-
plored by drifting both east and west,
disclosing more or less ore. From this
level a shaft was sunk 200 feet and on
the new shaft level there was a mark
ed increase in the amount of ore. An
other 100 feet was sunk on the vein,
followed by drifting east and west, ex-
posing a good showing of ore for sew
eral hundred feet, of which $50 feet is
pronounced ore of good milling grade.
This steady and pronounced improve
ment as depth is gained justihes the
expectation of the management that a
large body of commercial ore will be
found when the crosscut reaches the
vein 500 feet below the upper work.
ings. Tn letter to the stockholders
under date of July 5, A. c. Bixby, man
ager of the Ajax, states that on July 1
the crosscut had been advanced 4316
feet, leaving about 1900 feet to reach
the Ajax vein Continuing, Mr. Bixby
saws: 1--WE are now due to encounter
the Moonlight ledge on our ground and
we expect to cross it any day. Our
ledge lies about 1850 or 1900 feet north
of the Moonlight lead on the upper
levels, but may vary slightly on the
present tunnel level"

Let Contract to Extend Crosscut 200
Feet-Other Work.
The c. x II. Mining company has let
a contract to extend the main cross
cut south POO feet Work was discon-
tinued in this crosscut last year, after
having cut a vein of great strength
and promise and which carries values
in silver and lead. However this was
not the vein being sought and the
crosscut was continued considerably
beyond it, The contract will now
continue the crOsscut south to cut the
main vein The plans of the manager
Ed Roberts, also include drifting on
the first vein. believing that there is a
strong probability of developing an
important ore shoot. The c. & r.
company owns five patented claims
and three unpatented lying directly
north of the Hercules. from which it
is separated by the Guelph and Am
bergris. The geological conditions are
said to be very similar to the Hercu
les. The company is well equipped
for development, having a compressor
driven by electric power and good
for all purposes.
