FINE RESULTS
 ON B. C. SEWER

OAN De Ss 0A%@ EN
 Development of additional ore resources between the No. 2 and No. 8 levels on the Hum bolt Fraction and the location of southwesterly extensions of the rich ore body known as "C" ore body is reported from the B. c. Silver. The ore ex- posed above the No. 3 level is the upward extension of the "C" ore body and was located short distance north of what is known as raise 352, which connects with No. 2 level, 265 feet above, and provides ven tilation for the lower level. Ac- cording to the July report is- sued by the home office a 20- foot cross cut from raise 352 encountered the "C" ore body at A feet abbove No. 8 level disclosing values over a width of 15 feet. Five feet of ore av- eraged $22. This encouraging discovery resulted in another cross cut being run about 25 feet farther up the raise, at an eleveation of 70 feet above No. 8 level. The ore was en- countered in the latter cross cut about 10 feet north of the raise. A cable report lo the home office in London, Sep tember 14th, stated that five feet of the ore found in this cut averaged SIS and 4 tast $34. As the downward exten- sion of the "C" ore body has been proved to a depth of 50 feet below the third level by means of a winZe, this means assured ore of commercial grade for a vertical distance of 120 feet. Of equal if moi greater importance. "C" ore Lody has been traced through the granite dyke to the north of the present workings and has been located by diamond filing to a point nearly 800 feet south of the point where the third level enters it. From details obtainable it appears that this ore body has now been traced horizontally for an approximate distance of 750 feet.
 Increased quantities of high grade are now coming down from the mine, as a result ol the reopening of the Salmon River road to steady traffic and considerable amount is on the wharf awaiting ship ment to the shelter.
 A statement issued by the London office of the Selukwe company September 13, an nounced that 196 tons of ore sent to the Tacoma smelteI realized $17,243.72, net, or an average of slightly less than S88 per ton.

Democratic Tax Reduction Plan.

Going the Republicans shade

Democratic members of the Senate

drawn to accord with the administra-
lions policy Of reduction measured
by the Treasury's requirements on
the basis of continued liquidation of
the debt without reliance upon for
"icn payments.
This Democratic proposal just made
Involves revision Of the House sur
tx schedule on incomes between
So 900 and 500 600. which would in
crease the reduction on this account
alone by $4,000, 900. The House
meas sure confines surtaX reductions
to rates on incomes above $4,000.
There are other changes in the
schedule. a repeal of the capital stock
tax on corporations and repeal of the
levies on admissions and dues. In
3 other words the Democratic proposal
IS to go further in cutting, to offer,
as it were. a larger slice of tax re-
ductiou pie to the American people.
This is A campaign year. Next
November a new House of Repre-

ate will he elected. There is no dis

rest upon tax reduction. and the Dem
