HILL MINING COMPANY.
crosscut Nearing Vein-Will Drive
Deeper Tunnel.

deeper iunnei
Josiah Hill. of Kellogg, president OF
the Hill Mining & Milling company,
was in the city last week. Discussing
Operations at the company's property
on Slaughter House guIch. near
Wardner. he said that the crosscut is
nearing the vein and that he thought
! il would be reached in about 20 feet.
This crosscut will not gain much
depth. he said. its purpose being more
in the nature of prospect work to de-
termine the character of the vein and
its position with the view to deeper
development. Mr. Hill exhibited sam
pies of lead-siiver ore taken from
strlnger that is being followed by the
.crosscut. which is probably an Off
shoot from the vein. After the vein
is reached the company plans to
start work in another crosscut that
has already been started and which
will cut the vein 800 feet deeper.
While Mr. Hill did not say so, it is
believed probable that since the Bun
ker-Chance company has arranged to
use the East Caledonia shaft and
equipment the Hill company may be
able to make arrangements to use the
East Caledonia shaft also. The Hill
joins the East Caledonia on the east
and it is said that the best showing
Of ore in the latter property is on the
400 level and not far from the Hill
line. The extension of the drift on
he 400 or 600 level would be an ideal |
method OF developing the Hill at

Statement by General Manager.
Upon his return from the Tuesday
evening Frederick Burbidge, general
manager of the Federal Mining &
t. Smelling company. made the following
statement:
1T is believed that the fire origin
ated on the 400 level or in stope
just below this level. The night shift
when it came off made no report of
any fire. There was a crew working
in the shaft all night, which went off
at 700 a. m. They reported no fire
and did not know of it's existence.
1T was only about half an hour
later when the day shift was lowered.
Gas was noticed Immediately and the
men hoisted again to the top station
In accounting for the men it develop
ed that one man was missing. His
name was H. l. Tibbets.
1.-TWO young men by the name of
Edward Zich and w. L. Lynch. volun-
teered to go to find Tibbets and bring
him out. They arranged with those
remaining at the station that if moth
ing was heard from them in fifteen
minutes some one should come after
them. They were accompanied by j.
L. Anderson, the eager Nothing was
heard in the specified time and other
members of the crew went down the
shaft to rescue them. Pie eager,

overcome by gas but still alive He
was brought to the top, means were
taken to revive him and then taken
to the hospital where he speedily re-
covered.
1.-The rescuers went down and found
Lynch on the 2OOO-foot station. A
third time they went down and found
Zich on the station Tibbets was not
found until about noon. A rescue crew
with helmets found him He was
brought to the station at 1 o'clock He
was found in the manway just below
the 1000 level, where he was evidently
overcome on the way to work
Helmet crews from the Hercules
and Hecla mines, five from each. have
been cooperating with us all day
there being six or eight men from the
Morning.
Our first task is to clear the mine
of gas. locate the fire and if possible
put water on it, If it can not be fought
with water we will bulkhead it and
take the gas out of the remainder. so
we can fight the fire to better advan-
tage.
I'VE do not anticipate much of
shutdown. as our reports indicate the
fire is of no great extent. It was dis
covered, we think. so soon after it
started that it can not have spread
very far before counter measures were
taken"
