WESTERN UNION TO SHIP
CARLOAD ORE
REDUCE OPERATING COSTS
MINE LOOKS GOOD TO
STATE INSPECTOR.

Since taking over the management
of the Western Union Mining COM
pany a few weeks ago, Herman j.
ROssi has given special attention to
working out economies in operation
with the view to bringing the ex-
pense within the income derived from
ore shipments. This refers particu-
larly to improved methods and ia
cilities underground which will result
in holding the payroll down to the
minimum while securing the maxi
mum results in the way of develop
ment work and ore production. These
plans have now been practically car
ried out and attention is now being
centered on development of the ore
on the shaft level. Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Rossi was accompanied to
the mine by Stewart Campbell state
mine inspector who was much inter
ested in making another examination
of the property. he having visited it
last year and gave it favorable mem
ton in his annual report. Since his
former visit the shaft has been sunk
from the main tunnel level 165 feet
from the bottom of which the vein is
being followed easterly. Mr.. Camp
bell said that the face of the drift is
in ore OF very good grade, with more
or less of shipping grade, while all
conditions are favorable to improve
ment as the drift advances, the show
ing evidently confirming his original
favorable expression on the property.
Soon Ship Another Car.
With the preliminary work referred
to above completed, the extension Of
the drift is now going forward The
ore is hand sorted as far as practical
in the mine, removing both the high
grade and the waste. and leaving a
good feed for the hand jigs Soon
after taking over the management Mr.
Rossi shipped carload of ore to the
Bunker Hill smelter, most of which
had been mined under the former
management. At the present rate he
said he expected to be able to ship
another car by the last of the month.
BY that time he hopes the showing of
ore will permit increased shipments
and in fact pay for the development
of tho mine

CONDITIONS At TARBOX
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
PLANS TO DEVELOP TWO VEINS
APPLY FOR PATENT FOR
TEN CLAIMS.

DR.. II. c. Mowery of this city, pres
ident of the Tarbox Mining company,
has issued letter to the stockholders
under date of October IS, which de-
scribes conditions at the property and
indicates plans for further develop
ment. The Tarbox is situated about
three miles north of Saltese, on Pack
er creek, and for many years was the
scene Of active development. This
resulted in disclosing a large body of
low grade lead silver and zinc ore
which under favorable conditions can
probably be mined at a profit The
present management is giving its at
tention to exploratory work from the
surface on the original Tarbox vein
east of the shaft and will soon start
work on the big south vein which
promises even more favorable results.
The letter from President Mowery
follows:

LARGE EXPENDITURES
DEVELOPING NEW MINES
MACBETH COLLECTING VALU-
ABLE FIGURES REGARDING
MINING INDUSTRY.

The Miner has frequently called at
tention to a phase of the mining in
dustry of the highest Importance, but
which the public to a great extent fails
to take into consideration, or at least
does not give it sufficient attention
to realize it's value to the community
and state. This refers to the eXpendi-
lures being made for the development
and operation of non dividend paying
and non productive mining proper
ties The world hears much about
the large profits derived from mining,
so much in fact that there is a pro-
nounced tendancy among the unin-
formed to overlook the enormous ex-
penditure made before the dividend
stage was reached, and also the I'M
fortunate fact that often no returns
are derived on the investment; but
in both cases the community and
state profit directly by the outlay. In
order to bring to public attention the
large expenditure that is steadily
being made in the development of new
mines and its Importance to the bust
ness life of the state. Ravenal Mac
beth, secretary of the Idaho Mining
association. has undertaken to collect
and compile actual figures from in
dividual mining companies operating
non dividend paying and non-pro-
ductive properties showing expendi-
lures during the year 1928
Plan of Work.
These expenditures are classified by
Mr.. Macbeth for conveniences in com
piling the figures as follows: Develop
ment only; shipping and development,
but paying no dividends; leases; per-
manent improvements. These head
ings, with the exception of leases, may
be properly designated as expenditures
on mines in the making, money paid
out for labor equipment and i'm
provements for which there may or
may not be an adequate return in
profits but which goes directly into
the channels of trade and contributes
in the form of taxes to the support of
local and state government, Mr. Mac
beth has started his canvas for these
figures and has already almost COM
pleted his task in the Kellogg Ward
ner district, including Pine creek.
This will be followed by figures for
Big creek, the Osburn district, Wal
lace. Nine Mile, Canyon creek, Null
Ian and then the North Side. That
the figures will be astonishing to the
uninitiated is already evident from
the figures now in hand. This has
been a lean year in mining develop
ment, and yet it is safe to predict that
the total spent in ShOshone county this
year will run into millions.
Mr.. Macbeth proposes to collect
similar figures in all parts of the state
and the result will be a showing that
will convince those who are under the
impression that mining robs the state
of its resources without cOmpensating
return that the people derive great
benefit from mining operations indie
pendent of the dividend payers; and
that the dividend payers are neces-
sary in order to encourage continuous
in the search for new
mines

memorable date in the history Of
the Hecla Mining company 1t
was on that date that the entire
surface plant at the mine was de-
stroyed by fire, which also reduced to
ruins a large part of the residence and
the entire business section of Burke.
The day following the fire the predic-
ton was made that it would be year
before a new plant could be provided
and the Hecla mine restored to pro-
duction While James f. Mccarthy
general manager of the Hecla com
pany, made no definite prediction, it
is probable that he, too. had year in
mind as he contemplated the herculean
task that confronted him. Having
summoned the widely scattered di-
rectors to a meeting in Wallace a few

Development Plans.

considerable prospecting has been
done on the Tarbox property during
the past year with encouraging re-
suits. The present work is being con-
fined to extending a new tunnel start
ed early in the summer, east of the
shaft across Packer creek on the main
or north vein. The condition of this
vein east of the creek so far devel-
oped. rs in a more firm formation and
the naturalization is not so scattered
by faulting as in the case in the SHAFT
workings. The surface buildings and
equipment, of which there is consider
able. are also being placed in repair
In the spring the management in
tends starting a vigorous development
campaign, including the south VEN.
It is surprising that so little work has
been done on the south vein, par
ticularly in view of the favorable sur
face showing, which IS considered one
of the best in that district
All development work through the
shaft. where large body of low grade
ore has been developed was sus-
pended about one and a half years
ago at the time the property was
taken over by the present manage
ment. This policy was decided upon
because of the tremendous expense in
carrying on work through a 200 foot
winze and then transferring the muck
TO the shaft and hosting it 500 feet
to the surface. Another large item
was fuel as steam power was used
in carrying on this work.
1T is planned to start no new de-
velopment in the old workings until
the Tarbox company builds a mill or
until depth is needed where new de-
veiopment work is now being done or
planned. Future ore disclosures will
decide this policy.
Secure Title to Claims.
Application to patent 10 of the
principal TarbOx claims will probably
be made to the government this win
ter. The company has 81 claims, but
the expense of patenting them all at
this time is greater than the manage
ment deems necessary. The directors
feel that the main mineral bearing
claims should be patented in order to
protect the property for its stock
holders

anying this report shows the company
to have incurred small Indebtedness
up to the present time. The manage

CHEERING REPORT TO THE
STOCKHOLDERS

According to letter issued to the
stockholders of the Cedar Creek Min
ing & Development company on Oc
tober - by William Becker, secre-
tary and manager of the company,
development work on the shaft level
since the strike reported in the Miner
a few weeks ago has proved highly
satisfactory and indicates that Cedar
Creek is now ready for a mill as the
final step toward production. The ore
shoot has now been proved in three
tunnels, with a raise in ore connect
ing No and No. 3. and the develop
ment of the ore on the shaft level 200
feet below No. 3 gives assurance that
the ore goes down and justifies plans
to equip the mine for production. The
property is situated on Granite creek,
about mile and a half from Raven.

Main Buildings.


The compressor and hoist will be
under one roof as they were before
and occupy practically the same site.
The building will be A feet wide and
2G5 feet in length with steel frame
work and concrete walls and floor,
steel truss roof with asbestos cover
ing. The compressor end of the build
ing is now under cover The asbestos
roofing is made in corrugated sheets
about the same size as the corrugated
iron It is about an eighth of an inch
thick and is composed of asbestos and
concrete The sheets are laid the
same as corrugated iron and are held
firmly in place by aluminium wire
made fast to steel purlins supporting
the steel rafters The building will
be absolutely fire proof with no COM
bustible material whatever entering
into its construction.
Blacksmith, Machine Shop, Ware
house.
West of the compressor and hoist
building, with the mammoth head
frame between, is another large
building which will house the
blacksmith shop, machine shop and
warehouse. the dimensions of which
are 81 feet in width and 24S feet in
length. The construction of this build
ing is the same as the first, steel
framework. concrete walls and floor
steel truss roof with asbestos cover
ing, making it absolutely fire proof
The framework of this building is up
and ready for the roof the purpose
being as in the case of the first build
ing, to get it under cover so that the
finishing work can go forward with
out delay on account of bad weather
Looking from the shaft this building
will be subdivided to accommodate the
various departments in the following
order: First is the blacksmith shop
to be used for sharpening drill steel
54x56 feet. Next is the blacksmith
shop that will be used for general
blacksmith work, 54x52 feet. Beyond
this is the machine shop. 54x7O feet,
and occupying the extreme west end
is the warehouse also 54x70 feet. The
ground plans of the building show the
position that will be occupied by all
machinery and equipment. and this
will be in readiness for installation as
soon as the buildings are ready to
receive it.
Giant Headframe.
Between these two buildings will
stand the giant steel headframe above
the vertical shaft 1000 feet deep. The
height of this will be 1874 feet from
the collar of the shaft to the center
of the sheave wheel, "a feet higher
