SQUARE DEAL COMPANY
SOON TO BECOME ACTIVE
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE
ELECTED-OWNS PROM
ISlNG GROUP.

At the annual meeting of the
Square Deal Mining & Milling COM
pany at Occur d'Alene last Monday
the following directors were elected:
Judge A. II. Featherstone. II. +
Howes, Walter H. Hanson and A. J
Dunn, all of Wallace, and w. L. Stir
ling, of Walla Walla. The newly
elected directors met in Wallace the
following day and elected Judge A.
II. Featherstone president II. E.
Howes vice PRESENT and Walter H.
Hanson secretary treasurer. The
company owns a group of claims on
the south side of the river about half
way between this city and Mullan,
about a mile and a quarter from the
railroad at Stull spur. Nothing has
been done on the property for sew
eral years beyond the annual assess
ment work, but the new officers and
directors hope to work out plans for
quite an extensive development cam
paign this year. They are encour-
aged to do this by the favorable
showing already developed on the
property, the fine outlook for con-
tinued high metal prices and by the
gratifying results accomplished in
the development of other properties
in that section of the district The
Alice, upon which a fine body of ore
was recently opened up and which is
being financed by the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company, almost joins the
Square Deal on the southeast, while
lying between the Square Deal and
the railroad is the Mayflower, upon
which there has long been exposed
good showing of lead and zinc ore
and which is now an attractive de-
velopment proposition.
Present Development.
The main development work on the
Square Deal is a crosscut tunnel
some 600 or 700 feet in length. This
was driven to cut the vein about 200
feet below the upper tunnel in which
the vein has been explord for a
short distance and found to contain
much crystallized lead. Whether this
crosscut reached the vein is open to
question, but in what was believed to
be the vein much crystallized lead
was found in the cracks and crevices
of the rock, and in one place little
lead sulphide ore. Soon after start
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1924-01-17

ing this crosscut, about $50 feet from
the portal. another vein was inter
seeted which was passed with little
attention, but which amply justities
exploration. The vein where cut was
or feet wide, the vein filling be-
ing rather soft, containing much oxi-
died iron, broken quartz and other
features common to mineral bearing
veins of the district. AS soon as the
snow subsidies a thorough examina-
ton of the Square Deal viii be made
with the view to starting work on
one or both of these veins.

EXPERIMENT IN RADIO

An interesting experiment in

which, while not wholly success
ful indicates the possibilities of
using this mysterious means of
communication as an aid to res
cue work in case of mine disaster.
The Hecla shaft is 2OO0 feet deep
and from the bottom of it the
Star crosscut extends 5000 feet
and attains a maximum depth
from the surface of 1900 feet The
test was made at a point 5000

atus was provided and the test

and William Post, of the Auto
Supply company. The test was
made upon the suggestion of Rush
J. White, mining engineer of this
city. which received the coopera-
ton of James +. Mccarthy, gem
eral manager of the Hecla Mining
company. lille the sounds
heard were unintelligible, Mr.
Smith is confident that he picked
up a code message from COM
mercial broadcasting station, al
though too weak to be read be-
yond an occasional letter. This
was also heard by Mr.. Garrett and
Mr.. White. Later, at the exact
time when Walter Clark said he
would broadcast from the Bunker
Hill station at Kellogg, unintelli-
gible sounds of the human voice
were heard, and these stopped at
the time Mr. Clark said he would
cease broadcasting. Both Mr.
Smith an Mr.. Garrett are con-
WINGED that the moisture on the

success of the experiment, and
both plan to try it again under
more favorable conditions. Be

CANNERIES NOW BUSY
CANNING PEA CROP
Indications Are That The Yield
This Year Will Be The Larg-
est For Three Years.
PEAS ARE OF GOOD QUALITY
The Weather Conditions This Year
Have Been Ideal For PrOduc-
ing Fine Grade Vegetables.

The pea canneries in lower Della
ware are now running at full capacity
putting the peas in cans. At Milford
the Draper Canning Company and the
! TOrsch Company are both busy. The
yield this year is the finest and larg-
est for three years past. The average
weight for the loads on Monday and
Tuesday ranged from $50 to 900
pounds. The Gamers do not expect
the peas from the largest producing
districts before next week.
The Gamers early in the season had
much trouble in getting the farmers
to grow peas this year. This was due
in part to the fact that the last two
seasons had been almost failures so
far as money returns were concerned.
Up until two years ago the average
pack at one of the Milford canneries
had been 20 $40 cases of peas to the
bushel of seed sOwn. Two years ago
the average was only cases, while
last year it was about 10 cases. The
number should be increased above the
five year average this year if the yield
continues to hold out as it has start
ed.
Slaughter Neck district have gone in
to the venture on a large scale. Chas.
Reed this spring planted $50 bushels
of seed peas; or approximately sixty
acres of land. The Draper Canning
Company, of Milford, has installed
two Yining machines on Mr. Reeds
farm to take care of the crop. The
peas are threshed and hauled to Mil
ford for canning. The seed peas cost
Mr.. Reed $1400, and a fair estimate
of the cost of growing and saving the
crop is S14400 additional, according to
a man well versed in pea growing. At
the Draper Canning COmpany's plant
on Tuesday one of the officials stated
that they expected to pay $4,000 to
Mr.. Reed for this years pea crop. The
farm is that formerly owned by ThOs.
Simpson, located near Slaughter
Beach. 1t is well suited to the culture
of peas. Roland Beachump is also
growing peas on a large scale. Geo.
H. Draper, Jr., who has large farm
lands in Slaughter Neck, has planted
450 bushels of peas this year The
yield he expects to be up to the aver
age being saved by other pea growers. |
Mr. Draper is one of the owners of |
the Draper Canning Company Of Mil
ford.
In some few localities the "root rot"
seems to have affected the vines; but |
farmers whose vines have been so af-
fected have been securing good weight
from their crop this year. This year
gives every indication at the present
time of producing a banner pea crop.

NEED MORE CARRIERS
TO DELIVER U. S. MAIL
Two Mail Carriers In Milford Walk
471z Miles Each Day And Deliver
22312 Pounds Of Mail.

The United States Post Office De-
partment has been investigating the
conditions which exist in Milford as
to the City Delivery of United States
mail and the parcels post business,
within the town limits. The investiga-
ton has been going on for several
weeks. The carriers are supplied with
pedometers which register the num-
Der and length of steps taken by the
carrier on the route, in collection of
the mail from the boxes as well as for
the delivery of mail to the residences
and business places of the people.
These little machines are fastened
to the feet of the carriers and an in
spectOr accompanies the man on his
routes, checking up the number of
pieces of mail delivered and collected
all of which is carefully weighed at
the post Office and a record made on
each trip. The mileage in feet meas
ure is also recorded for each trip
made.
From this record we took the fol-
lowing of the work performed by the
two city carriers in one day, which is
an average of the service recorded.
Ill OOuIu All1lOlu u II was lOu4lu 4lllpOo-
sible to cover the route in the time al

the work One of the gathering up
trips had to be abandoned as the day
was growing too late for the work.
This means that those persons who |
deposited mail in the boxes that par
ticular day, to be forwarded, were not |
served then but that their mail was |
delayed until the following day be-
fore it was gathered and forwarded !
