Hoover Has
NoAi1ns for
Presidency
Secretary of Commerce e
Spends Half Hour in Omaha
Enroute to Pacific
Coast.
Approves World Court

Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
merce. whose activities during the
war made his name a byword in
every household, stopped in Omaha
for half an hour Sunday, enroute
from Washington, d. c., to San
Francisco.
Although expressing a desire not
to talk politics. Mr.. Hoover. when
questioned, declared that President
Harding Undoubtedly will be the re-
publican nominee for another term
as president.
Smiling, Mr.. Hoover denied that he
had. any presidential aspirations. He
sl0ected that President Harding
will have his strongest support in
the next campaign. ~
There isn't much new in Wash
ington.'' said Mr.. Hoover. THE
country Is running so we'll there
doesn't have to be much new. I
honestly believe Mr.. Hardings ad-
ministration has done great things
for the country.
No Surplus Now.
After all. the most important
thing is employment. When our ad-
ministration took charge there were
from 1000 900 to 100000 men out
cf work. Now there is a shortage of
men for the work there is to be done.
Agricultural prices are too low
in proportion to the prices command
ed by industrial products. But
healthy industrial activity is the
remedy for that, for employment
means increased consumption and in
creased consumption means that the
price OF agricultural products will
reac ha proper level
Asked who he believed the next
democratic candidate for the presid-
ency would be. Mr.. Hoover shook his
head and replied: THAT, at present,
seems to be beyond the human ken. =
Explains Alaskan Trip.
Mr.. Hoover is accompanied on his
western trip by Mrs. Hoover and
thsg. son. Allan, Is. Mr.. Hoover ex-
; l3cis to devote some time to depart
fsentai matters ia California before
leaving for Portland where he will
meet President Harding, July 3. The
president is to speak at Portland July
4. and then, with Mr.. Hoover, Secre.
tsuy Work of the Department of the
Interior and Secretary Wallace Of the
Department of Agriculture, sail for
Alaska.
The Alaskan trip is being made In
an effort to arrive on some construct.
i've means of reorganizing the whole
government of that territory" ex
planned Mr.. Hoover.
"There are 1872 federal functions
and 35 federal bureaus conducting
the Alaskan government without any
coordination except that they are
directed from Washington"
Mr.. Hoover expressed belief tha'
the world court plan will be dis
,inct success. He admitted that he
had been for a league of nations
with reservations, but declared the
world court is the most important
nuestion to be decided now.
Questioned about himself, Mr. Hoo
YER related that he was born in
Cedar county, Iowa. and that his
father had been a blacksmith In the
town of West Branch, where he re
sided until he was Q, when his family
moved 70 the west. He said he was
ona of those invited TO make tbs
world trip on the Leviathan, but thai
he was too busy TO accept.

OF course we AN know that the
prosperity of the Occur d'Alene
district depends directly upon the
steady operation of the mines.

rolls. OF course the companies
also make large expenditures in
the purchase of equipment. ma

tute a big factor I'm the business
of the district. but i'm the last an

wage earners receive 100000, and
that in the course of a year they
receive S7200,OOO. As matter of
fact, it is probable that there are
more than 1000 men on the pay

erage of S5.25 per day. But taxi
ing the basis stated as correct, it
is plain why the Occur d'Alene

GREAT AJAX CROSSCUT
1900 FEET TO THE VEIN
WILL REACH VEIN 300 FEET
BELOW FINE ORE SHOWING
IN UPPER WORKINGS.

The great crosscut tunnel that is
being run by the Ajax Mining COM
pany is being watched with great in
terest by the public, for it embodies
great possibilities of mineral develop
ment The large amount of develop
ment heretofore accomplished by the
Ajax company has resulted in show
ing up considerable ore. particularly
on the level opened from the bottom
of the shaft sunk 200 feet from the
Moonlight tunnel level. This long
crosscut will cut the vein 500 feet be-
low this showing, and it is reasonable
to expect that it will result in the de-
velopment of large body of ore and
place the Ajax among the producing
mines of the district. The total length
of the crosscut will be 5463 feet, n
little more than a mile. OF this 1868
feet had been accomplished on April
1, leaving 1900 feet to the vein. At
the rate made in March, it will re-
quire about seven months to reach
the vein. The crOsscut passes through
the Moonlight ground, and this has
given an added interest to the enter
prise, for it opens up that property
for deep development and it is re-
garded not improbable that an ore
body of Importance will be found
when the Moonlight vein is reached.
Statement by Manager.
In a statement to the stockholders
accompanying notice of assessment,
Alva C. Bixby manager of the Ajax
says:
TT is our policy to keep our stock
holders informed as to the progress
and conditions of our property. Dur
ing the month of March 267 feet of
tunnel was driven, making the entire
length of tunnel on April l, 3563A
feet, leaving about 1900 feet more to
be driven to reach our objective point.
This may vary a little as the dip of
the ledge must be judged by the up
per levels. The work is being done
under contract with Anderson Bros. at
SIS per foot. furnishing all explosives
and labor, the company furnishing
equipment and mine supplies. Let

OREANO PROSECUTING
TO THE SHERMAN VEIN
AFTER MUCH DELAY THE CON
TRACTORS ARE NOW MAX
ING GOOD PROGRESS.

one Of the many interesting devel-
opment enterprises in various parts
of the district engaging public atten-
ton is that of the Oreano Mining
company which is expected to make
important disclosures within the next
two or three months. The OreanO
property is situated well up on the
divide between Canyon creek and
Nine Mile and has a common side
line on the north with the Sherman
Lead company, also joining the Tam
arack e Custer. Several years ago
a crosscut was run by the Sherman
people from Oreano workings which
cut the Sherman vein, disclosing good
showing of lead silver ore, which was
developed for several hundred feet
before operations were transferred to
the lower tunnels near Burke. The
position of the vein in the upper
Sherman tunnel convinced the Oreano
management that it would be found
in the Oreano ground on its course
westward, and it is to prove that opin-
ion that a crosscut is now being run
by the OreanO company. 1t is esti-
mated that the vein should be reach
ed in the Oreano ground in about 300
feet and a contract for that distance
was let last fall. The contractors put
in a gasoline compressor, but hard
luck was their lot during the winter,
first engine troubles then shortage
of water, with the result that the
work accomplished fell far short OF
Everything is running
smoothly now, however, as will be
seen from the following letter to Ore
ano stockholders issued last week by
John Dolan, secretary:
"One hundred and thirty eight feet
has been driven of the S00-foot cross
cut which it is calculated will en-
counter the vein Payments are made
on completion of each so feet. 1t goes
saying that the progress has |
not been such as desired or to have

overhauled, repairs made,
new equipment added. and the plant

Fine Ore Showing.
For some time Mr. Grimsmoe with
a few men has been engaged in de-

cording to dependable information, an
ore shoot has been opened in No. 4

ore of shipping grade.
This ore is mostly lead-silver and the
drift shows a full face of the same
class of ore. The showing of ore in
No. 4, together with ore accessible in
other parts of the mine will supply
the mill for one shift and possibly
more.
In spite of the long haul to the
