Eureka News
REQUESTS COMPLETION
OF STRYKER-EUREKA ROAD

The following letter, written by the
Eureka Commercial Club TO the state
highway commission, is self explana-
tory.
July 25, 1882
The State Highway Commission
Helena, Montana
Honorable Board of Commissioners:
We notice the newspaper accounts OF
the letting of a number of road con-
tracts on Aug. 18th and oath, 1882. In
none of the announced projects was
any mention made of the sector OF
the Theodore Roosevelt international
Highway and U. S. Highway No. Vs.
running from Stryker to Eureka, Mon
tana.
A portion Of this sector. as you
know, was graded in 1891. The grading
has been completed since about Sept.
1st, 1881, and has never been sur
faced. In constructing this sector OF
the said highway, it was necessary 70
tear UP a great portion OF the previous
road. Since the said construction per-
sons using the said highway are faced
with the dilemma of driving over an
unsurfaeed road, alternately through
mud or sand a foot deep, or with pick
ing their way through the woods on
20 mile detour trying TO keep to the
remaining portions of the old road
We feel that the commission in let
ting whatever projects that 1t Will al
this time or in the near future, will
do so with a mind to help unemploy-
ment. Under that premise, we feel
that your commission should be ap-
praised of such conditions in this vi
entity. During the month OF May and
the first week in June, over $50 fam
lies were given assistance by the lied
Cross in the. form of government flour.
Most of these families had been re-
ceiving aid from the county during
the greater portion of the preceding
winter. Many are still receiving help
from Lincoln county. AS a conserva-
tive estimate we should say that there
are 200 families in Eureka and It's sur
rounding territory that actually need
and will need help before many
months have passed, preferably come
form of employment. Many OF these
families would be benefited by The
letting of a contract to surface the
graded portion of said sector and by
the completion of the whole sector.
The Club fully understands the dit
ficult position of the board in attempt
ing to distribute what moneys there
are SO that to do the most good
Nevertheless the Club feels that your
honorable commission could do no
more good in letting any other pro-
posed bit of construction than by see
ING the above sector completed.
May we have an indication from
the board of just how soon the COM
pletion Of said sector, or OF the graded
portion thereof may be reasonably
expected?
Thanking you in advance for your
consideration, we are
Very respectfully yours,
THE EUREKA COMMERCIAL CLUB

SHAN G H Al, Feb. 20.-- General Uyeda's war machine bloodily pounded it's way inch by inch against the stubborn Chinese at Kiangwan today in the most terrific b a { tie since the World War.
 The earth literally shook with fury as artillery, rifle and m a c h in e gun fire and warships laid down a barrage and airplanes dropped bombs on the 16-mile front.
 Japanese shock troops fol- lowed the artillery and tanks waddled across the marshy battlefields.
 It was but a short time until ambulances b egan a steady run bringing out wounded from both sides.
 The Japanese tried desper- Iately to pierce the Chinese line in separate forces on Chapel and Woosung but Gen. eral Chiang Kai Shek, former President, tenaciously held his ground.
 Late today, Woosung is in flames from the firing.
 The Japanese al nou need they have taken Kiangwan, which is short distance from the. Chapel sector but the c h in e s e declared they have pu s h e d the Japanese back and overcome the fleet

ALASKA JUNEAU ORE E ENRIC HE'S
 ON DEEP LEVEL
Twenty-eight Dollar Ore 1: Revealed In Work on
 600-Foot Level
EXPLORATIONS SHOW
 GOOD DEPTH VALUES
Ann ouncement of Results Made Public Recently
 at San Francisco

That the Alaska Juneau has dis covered workable orebodies ranging from $260 per ton to more than $28 in its deep level exploratory operations, in progress here for more than a year past, was re- vealed recently in an announce ment from San Francisco that was published in various newspa- pers.
 The values were found in pros pecting operations on the No. 8 level, 600 vertical feet below the present main haulage level
 Text Of Announcement
 The following article appeared in the Boston News Bureau, one of the nations leading financial pub licatins, a short time ago:
 San Francisco = Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co, in development work 600 feet vertically below the tunnel where main mining opera tions now are being carried on, has struck ore that averages as high as $2S a ton in gold for a distance of 15 feet in a drift 600 feet below the haulage level This compares with an average value of about $450 a ton for the full 600-foot depth and with less than the $1 a ton in main operations through out all of 1881.
 The prospecting winzes are be- ing deepened from four to seven feet a day with prospecting levels turned off from the winze about every 100 feet. Prospecting now is being done on No. level, or about 500 feet below the main haulage tunnel.
 Working west from the incline winze on the 600-foot level the first Is feet averaged $698 gold a ton, the next 10 feet averaged $8.72 a ton and the next 15 feet averaged $28.32 a ton.
 Prospecting east from the winze on this level, the first 20 feet averaged $5.84 a ton, the next 10 feet $2.6G and the next 10 feet SHAT
 Juneau's mill during 1881 handl- ed approximately 4,162,350 tons of ore, against 3,924 ,460 in 1880 and 3,836, 40 in 1929. This is an average of just slightly les sthan 100000 tons for the last three years.
 If the mill is operated under present conditions the higher grade ore now available is sufficient to maintain operations for another 10 years. However, because of ex- isting conditions the new ore will not be reflected in operations for some time, possibly not for more than year.

CANADIAN LINES ARE ME:NACED BY HOUSE MEASURE
Sale of Tickets by Them Between Seattle and
 Alaska May Be Barred

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 20.-- The sale of tickets between Seattle and Alaskan ports over steamships under Canadian registry may be- come unlawful under the terms of the Davis bill, recently introduced in Congress by Representative Davis. It seeks to prohibit foreign lines from making sailings between American ports with incidental stops at foreign ports.
 The measure has been favorably reported to the House by the Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Chairman Davis is seeking a rule to permit taking it up for consider ation.
 Wickersham Withdraws Objection
 The Davis bill proposed to amend the coastwise shipping laws. It is said to be designed to control the practice of transatlantic lines, which during the slack season have been diverting large liners to mak- ing trips between Halifax and other ports and the British West Indies, Cuba and South American ports with calls at New York and other large American centers.
 Delegate Wickersham, who pro- tested against the effect it would have on the Alaskan trade during the hearings, withdrew his objec- tions to the bill after he was un- successful in an effort to amend the bill so as to except Seattle from it's provisions.

No Comment To Make

 The development program is go- ing ahead on schedule. New equip ment, as was recently announced in The Empire, has arrived and is being installed at present to facili- tate the exploratory work
 Prospecting at various levels is carried on as the two main winzes are being driven down. The re- suits of this are reported regularly to the San Francisco offices and any publicity given them must originate there.
