Kendall, Montana, Jane 10, 1902. 7 • • Still RIVER I R YE THE TOILING MASS It is Great in Size and Exceedingly Rich in Values. Carries Bornite, Red Oxide, Mala- chite and Copper Glance—The Ledge Traceablf for Miles. p1 There • There is either a whale of a ledge of copper -silver ore on the Snake river in Oregon or somebody in that section is endeavoring to bunco a few capitalists into paying tor at least a few meals and a few nights' lodging while examining the wonderful ledge V1 bid' the Baker City Democrat says is all copper and sil- ver and 500 feet wide.. Of the ore body the Democrat says: \Five years ago 'Joe the Giieek,' Peter Beckley and Al Gray found tome beauti- ful rock on a rugged height on theOre- gon side of Snake river. This rock was apparently of lovely green, blue, bronze and all colors of the rainbow, when held in the sunlight. The Greek, a veteran miner, knew that he and his comrades had found mountains of copper. \Today there are hundreds of copper claims located along both sides of Snake river, only awaiting the advent a a rail road to yearly ship to market millions of dollars worth of copper ore, richly sown with gold and silver. \'Joe the Greek' sold his claims and departed for Greece. On May 2, 1902,a Democrat representative passed the af- ternoon climbing trails and rocky heights in following the ledge discovered by the Greek. Upon this giant ledge, which is clearly traml over mountains and preci- pices for one and a half miles, there are forty-eight claims owned by %V. B. Mc- Dougall and E. S. Shaffner. Dozens oj croppings were found, this rock at the grass roots often going by actual assays 80 per cent copper and 100 ounces of sil- ver. At the surface the ledge hart the monstrous width of nearly 500 feet. \There are several strong ledges, the ilip of all being outward from the river The country is volcanic and the copper ore shows tetrnite, or Peacock copper, red oxide, malachite and copper glance. At one place the ledge is 155 feet wide. An assay of selected ore gave 80 periLent in copper, $50 in silver and some gold, a total value of abont $260 per ton. Sure. ly there are underneath splendid average values. Specimens from this section, within almost one -tenth of being pnre copper, and carrying gold and silver, re- ceived at the world's fair at Buffalo a diploma of honorable mention. ; \Within a mile of this tarritory is the edge of the vat body of forest, covering an area approximately 10130 square rodes in the Eagle mountains. Fir, pine and , poses or for shipment by railroad to tree - tamarack are available for mining pur- poses sections. \The work done by McDougall and Shaffner in uncovering the treasure of copper, with some gold and silver, in. eludes several hundred feet of tunnels piercing the mountains at different points. Their main tunnel, driven straight in, is at the base of a cliff. The mouth of the tunnel is 1775 feet above the river and 575 feet lower than a sum- mit upon which a 100 -foot ledge slrivis tine croppings. The tunnel is in 200 feet. Air is pushed in by force of a spray of water piped down from a creek which comes like one great fall down the moun- tain. This stream can be Used for pow- er in future mining operations. Again,. an aereal tramway could be- cheaply used for dropping ore to the river to he received by railroad.\ Re -imported Sagamore whisky, a pure article, at Ed. Weaver's. The strike in'the building trades at Bt. Paul is over because of a rake in wages, but without recognition of the union. The 1800 employee of the Continental Tobacco company of Jersey City have had their wages raised 10 per cent. Cigartnakers at Toledo have struck for an increase in wages. The demand is for an increase of $1 per thousand on clear and seed mold work. The Indianapolis union of plumbers is regularly sending coot ributions of money to fifteen unions of the organization now engaged in strikes throughout the coun- try. There is a great scarcity of available unskilled isborers in the southern end of California, also a big demand for carpen- ters. The 'ranches, too, are hampered by the scarcity of hands, and fruit is be- coming overripe for want of picking. The advance of ten percent which was granted to the 27,000 employes of the Fall River cotton mills early last month, has become general in soot hem New Englanir. -- Tt is estimated that fully 60, 000 hinds in that section have had their wages increased. A big majority of the teamsters em- ployed at Salt Lake City, have struck for a _day of eight hours and a raise of 50 cents a day in the pay. The wages for men and team have been $3.50. The Minnesota state board of control has advanced the salaries of the em- ployes 10 per (Wilt because of the increase in cost of living aillee the beef trust ad- vanced the price of meat. There was no demand on the part of the employes for this increase, which will cost the state over $40,000 a year. As a result of a meeting at Toronto, the telegraph operators of the Grand Trunk railway, east of Detroit and the St. Clair river, have received an increase on their prreent scale of wages, ard ex- tra for overtime is *Boise& During the past year the organized -labor champions in Connecticut have been very busy in organizing the differ- ent crafts. The object is to make a united effort to elect a labor governor. During the past six months three labor mayors have been elected in Connecti- cut. The sweeping rednetions which the Erie railroad company is making be- cause of the mitiers' strike has been the cause of meetings of different labor or- ganizations being held at Port Jarvis, at which grievance committees were ap- pointed to wait. on President Under- wood. The suspension of hostlers in the Erie yard particularly has caused a gloomy feeling among -railroad men and the towns people generally. The board of supervisors of San Fran- cisco lois passed an ordinance in favor of the drug clerks' hours or employment .being limited to 138 hours of actual ser- vice in two weeks. This means an aver- age of 10% hours per day. It was due to (lie latter's standing with the organ- ized labor movement that this result has been achieved. Jul many other cities whore tile drug clerks are not affiliated with tht; labor movement their hours of actual service range from 14 to 18 hours per day. Lewistown to Have a Three Story Resi- dence.
