The work so far done has
been chiefly for the purpose Of
testing out the property, TO
find IL there is sufficient gold
to warrant the installation Of
more expensive equipment.
Judging from the values that
have been found at bedrock
and for several feet above it,
the property can be made m
TO a profitable one provided
further exploration proves that
the high values continue over
considerable area. The forma-
ton OF the bedrock where the

Logan Of Kalispel and his q
charge Of the work ct the ?
Late in the fall Of 1891 the
company excavated q pit to
bedrock which was found at q
depth of 35 feet from the top
Of the bar. The condition Of
the bedrock at the bottom Of
the pit clearly proves that It is
part Of an ancient channel IL
feet deeper than the level Of
the present creek.
The upper 20 feet Of gravel
showed values averaging about
35 cents per yard. The SIX
feet Immediately everything the
bedrock showed a value OF
$4.20 per yard.
During the present season
the company ran a tunnel 8
feet wide by "A feet long with
an average heighth Of z feet,
making about As yards. The
material from the tunnel was
run through q sluice box with
about IS to 80 yards Of ma
terial that had during the WIN
ter and spring slid down from
the top Of the bank. The in
fluence Of this slide material
on the clean up may be regard
ed as negligible.
The clean up from this run
amounted to 5000 approx
mately, or about $40 per
yard. In neither Of the above
mentioned clean ups were more
than five of the twenty-five II
foot boxes cleaned. A consider
able amount Of fine gold still
remains in the clean up tail
ings and remaining boxes to
be treated later. What amount
Of fine gold remains in these
tailings and boxes is a matter
Of conjecture at the present
moment, but paintings Of the
same would indicate that
they win add at least $1.O0 per
yard to the above figure with
q very strong probability that
it will run many times that fl
cure.
Assuming a plant that viii
consistently handle 500 yards
per shift It viii be seen that
the top ground (not taking in
to consideration the very fine
gold that has heretofore been
lost win produce about $175.-
600 per day while the z to 10
feet everything the bed rock
would, with the same equip
ment produce approximately
81, 10000 per day.
The equipment consists Of a
drag line shovel that carries
the material TO the sluice box
es, where is is dumped into
the hume through g rocker de-
vice that removes the larger
boulders after they are washed
by a spray Of water. It has
been found that a goodly a.
mount Of fine gold clings to
these larger boulders in the
clay and muck attached to
them as they come from the
pit; thus the reason for wash
ing them The boulders are au-
tomaticaily delivered into
truck after being washed and
are then carted to q large

Meek Protest; Lawyers

TORONTO, Ontario, Oct. 7
(I.N.S.).-The path of power
trod so long by Martin j. In
sull had ended today in a
dingy, windowless Jail cell.
He sat in the death cell" tier
of the Simcoe county jail at
Barrie, so miles north of this
city-the death cell" tier So
called because it is in that tier
where sit those condemned to
hang for their crimes.
An Insull-that magic name in
Chicago short months ago-is a
common prisoner among common
men; a soft, almost pleading man
in the face of the last two days
stunning events: a man deprived
Of those simple things Of life
which he so long accepted as a
matter of course,
Denied Even His Pipe
He is denied even the solace of
the pipe he cherished and smoked
so often in his hours of affluence
and in those latter days since
he fled from Chicago.
But in the heart of the 68-year-
Did prisoner there still flares that
spark of battle that led him and
his brother, Samuel, to financial
iordship before their dream castle
Of finance crumbled about their
heads and those of thousands of
investors who lost millions in
| their enterprises.
1t is this spark that caused a
determination to fight eXtradition
to Chicago to the utmost of the
insult resources, whatever they
may be.
Fight Plans Under Way
The ground work for that fight,
certain to be bitterly contested
and long drawn, already was
being laid by both sides in the
legal fray.
His attorneys said:
I'VE are going to fight, and
that means fight all the way
down the line"
But, barring an unforeseen and
unexpected petition for Martin
insult to be admitted to bail, he
will spend his dreary days in the
crudely furnished cell at Barrie
at least until October IA.

Deportation Proceedings End
As They Volunteer to
Leave Next Week

After a conference yesterday
between Secretary of Labor
Doak and Phelps Ferris, at
torney for Capt. w. N. Ian
caster and Mrs. Jessie Maude
Keith Miller, the department s
deportation case against the
two was dropped upon their
agreement to leave this coun-
try voluntarily by the end Of
next week.
Captain Lancaster and Mrs.
Keith-Miller are now in New
York, from where they had
planned to sail today for their
homes in England. Their depar
ture, however, has been post
lponed until next Friday due to
the sillEess of Mrs. Maude Ian
caster, mother of the British
aviator, who came to this coun-
try earlier in the summer to be
with her son during his trial in
Miami, Fla, on a charge of muir
dering Hayden Clarke, fiance of
Mrs. Keith-Miller.
Mrs. bancaster's physic;ans
say she will be able to leave hy
the end of next week. Ms
Keith-Miller is returning to en-,
land under Mrs. Lancaster'S wing
and will be with her until sar
joins her family in London.
Upon their return home GaU,
tain Lancaster plans to push ~
divorce proceedings brough I
against him by his wife so that
he can marry Mrs. Keith-Miller.
Attorney Ferris said today:
"It is unfortunate that Cap
tain LancaSter'S real service to
aviation has been forgotten in
the mess in which he has been
involved since the suicide of
Hayden Clarke. We believe,
however, that if he is given
another chance, he can yet
prove his right to the respect
of his fellOwmen. His friends
in his own profession have
never lost faith in him."

NEW YORK, Oct. 7 GN.SJ.
Heavy selling of the food stocks
today weakened the stock mar
ket and upset early rallying ten
dencies.
National Dairy Products and
Borden bore the brunt of the
selling, both dropping about two
points. Other food stocks, such
as National Biscuit and Gold
Dust were carried along.
This brought further pressure
on the rest of the market and
declines of l to 2 points were
general.
u. S. Steel sold down more
than a point to around yester-
days low. American Telephone
and American Can gave up early
gains of about point each and
lost as much. Westinghouse and
Case ThreShing were under
pressure with losses of about 2
points each.
Rail stocks held relatively we'll
for a while, but gave way on

slumped more than 2 points and
motor stocks joined the reaction.
Pressure of Standard Oil of New

Conceives Duty to Get Most
Efficiency; Association
CenSure Meets Delay

"As long as I am in charge
of this police department, I
expect to effect whatever
changes in personnel are
necessary in my judgment to
cause its operation to the full
extent of its capacity, with
out favoritism or prejudice.
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford, superintendent of District
police, made this statement TO-
day in discussing the much talked
of recently ordered changes in
his department. He said:
"There is one major ques-
ton. Is the department to be
a progressive, efficient OrganiZa-
ton, designed to keep abreast
with growing criminal and so
cial problems, or Is it to be
allowed to remain at a con-
Servative, halfway level, unable
to cope with present day con-
ditiOnS?
NEED NOT WORRY
"My men need not expect
favOritism or fear prejudice.
AS long as they cooperate and
perform their services to the
best of their ability, they need
not worry about their records.
They will be placed in the pO-
SitiOns for which they are best
suited. My task is to put the
round pegs in the round holes
and the square pegs in the
square holes"
Regarding his request for a
transfer of Inspector Frank S. w.
Burke from the post OF assistant
superintendent in charge Of the
Detective Bureau to be replaced
by Capt. Edward j. Kelly, Glass
ford said:
Burke is a highly efficient
officer. 1 admire him in many
ways and know that in some
positions he would function eX.
celIently. But not as chief Of
detectives.
HAS DONE GOOD WORK
"He has done good work in
that bureau. But 1 believe
that further progress could be
made under Kelly'S command.
"Under Burke, the bureau
has attained the maximum of
efficiency that can be hoped
for as long as he 1Olds that
office. 1t can rise no higher
than its present level.
"If / searched through the
entire department, there would
be exceptionally few men whom
1 believe could take Burke'S
place. Kelly, 1 believe, is one
of them. / have watched him
for many months and 1 feel
that he can force the bureau
to a higher level. If he fails.
1 will take the same action
against him as 1 have against
