UNITED EMPIRE IS
 RUSHING DEVELOPMENT

With threef shifts employed, the opening up of the United Empire property, formerly the Gold Cliff, is proceeding at a rapid pace and shipments of picked ore are already being prepared for the smelter. The ore is obtained from one of a series of veins which cross the property in a northerly direction and are said to carry high surface values. The vein, which is said to present 'ex- tensive surface showings, has been crosscut by a 50-foot tunnel, from which drifts are are being run on the ore. The tunnel is also being extend ed to cross cut at several hundred feet depth one of the main veins of the system, the outcrops of which are several hundred feet farther up the mountain and are said to car ny big values
 The property is bonded to A. B. Trites, of Premier fame. A. St. Claire Brindle, M. E. is in charge of operations.

BLOWS HEAD OFF
 WITH DYNAMITE

Pete Fite, well known old time resident of the camp and employee of the Premier mine, committed suicide Monday morning by blowing off his head with charge of dyna- mite. The tragedy occurred in the mine bunk house and was apparently induced by finan- ;ial troubles. There were no witnesses to the shocking 0c- :urrence and the exact way n which Fite accomplished the grisly get is a matter of conjecture. The explosion tore the unfortunate man's head completely to pieces and al- 30 destroyed both hands. From the latter fact it is indicated that Fite placed the charge of dynamite in his hat and held it on his head with both hands until the ex- plosion wiped out his life. Aside from blood spatters in he vicinity of the body no trace could be found of either the head or hands.
 Owing to the destruction of he mans features, the ident- ity of the headless corpse was not determined until some
 ime after the body was found oy other employees who were attracted to the bunk house oy the sound of the explosion. Later, however, a small scrap of paper bearing Fite's name was found in his clothing and gave the first clue to his ident- ity.
 The decenked, who had worked at the mine for sev- eral years, recently returned from a vacation in the south. Aftr spending a short time in town, Fite wenG up to Premier junday morning, evidently ex- 0ecting to return to work. At the time of his departure he is said to have appeared dispir-
 ted but, judging from re- marks to local friends had no thought of his rash act at that time. During his stay at the mine he appeared Respondent to those who knew him but dropped no hint of the inn pending tragedy. So< far as can be learned he procured the dynamite at the mine soon after his arrival
 The deceased was aged about 50 years.

RICH ORE FOUND ON
 PORTER IDAHO-REPORT

Reports from the Marmot cir culated Tuesday indicate that a body of very high grade ore has been found on the Porter Idaho. Details of the reported find were not available up to the time of going to press. Ac- cording to the current inform ation a seven foot vein carry ling ore assaying much high CT than any hitherto found on the property, has been en- countered in the old workings. This, however, is not stated as fact. Neither MT. Porter or any other person in a position to know positively regarding the strike or it's value has been down from the mine for sev- eral day, hence the numerous reports must be accepted with conservation. Fourteen men are employed at the mine and 21 pack horses are en- gagged in packing the ore, each animal being loaded with 3 sacks.
 Ore shipments are now com ing down from the mine at the rate of about 2 tons a day and a shipment approximating 25 tons is now on the beach at the mouth of the Marmot ready to ship to the smelter.

Managing engineer A. J. Gaul of the Victoria Mines has uncovered large section of the north extension of the new ore zone recently found on the Dunwell, according to a num- Der who have visited the two properties in recen days. A number of open cuts have been run on the lead, which retains in the Victoria pract- ically the same characteristics as on the Dunwell and also substantially the same min eralization. Judging from sur face indications the new zone can be cross cut by extending one of the existing tunnels a short distance.

MAKES IMPOSSIBLE
SHOT; COLLECTS s1OD

Los ANGELES, Cal. Aug. IA
golfing feat Of international import
ance, to the stymie rule at least, was
accomplished at the links Of the An
mandate Country Club when Frank
-Kumback7 Smith of the Annandale
club negotiated a stymie which experts
had claimed to be impossible.
And by making the shot Smith col
lected on a 800 10 81 bet offered by
Fred Hicks, Pittsburgh golf expert,
who claimed that this particular sty-
ME was impossible to get over or
around and hole ones ball.
Hicks, who has long been against
the stymie rule, claiming it is unfair
because it gives impossible shots, pro-
posed this stymie problem:
"On a perfectly flat green, that is
with no roll on either side of the cup
in the direction of the ball is being
putted, place q regulation golf ball
in the center Of the line Of putt and
on the very lip Of cup.
"Then measure off ten feet and from
that distance sink your ball.
Sounds impossible, doesn't it?
But it isn't. As a matter Of fact It
isn't a difficult putt.
Smith, putting on the eighteenth
green at the Annsndale Golf Club.
dropped the first three out of four
balls. Out Of a total Of % attempts
he boled five balls. two on the right
hand side Of the ball and three on
