■ the night previous by street talk
ers of the Industrial Workers
in which the army and navy had
been denounced.

from the Washington street
headquarters of the I. W. \Y\,
stacked it in the street and set
it on fire preventing the police

by the civil authorities and by
the naval and military heads to
place the blame for the riots.

Samples Brought up from Property are Sprinkled With Gold
—Lead is Two Feet Wide and Contractors Have a
Depth of 115 Feet—Followed Lead 90 Feet
Senator Millard is happy today
having received samples of the
lead on the Tatum claims show
ing the highest values yet found
on the properly and indicating
that (he claims will be one of
the largest producers in the
Port Wells section and may out
rival the Cliff which is slowly
reaching the $ 1,000,000 produc
lion mark.
The lead is a strong two feet
and the rock is literally sprin
kled with gold, visible to the nak
ed eye.
The work so far done by the
contractors has given a depth of
115 feet and the lead-has been
followed for a distance of 90
•feet showing that it continues
to carry the same high grade
rock all the distance.
“The work so far done,” says
the senator, “justifies us in pla
cing a stamp mill on the ground,
hut we prefer to do more devel
opment work and block out more
ore so that when we do install
a mill we have plenty of ore to
keep it going. The value of the
ore blocked out justifies the mill
but we have not as yet uncovered
enough tonage."
The Tatum properly was bond
ed by Senator Millard and his
son Hay and they have associat
ed with the/n, Ljmderburg, the
Pioneer Mining company head,
and also Chilberg, the Seattle
{tanker and the tour have kepi
the stock to themselves and to
date have refused to take others
in with them- in' the venture.
