ROCKFORD MEN TELL ABOUT TRIP TO DEER CREEK MINES HW A* - : i. ■***■*’*' NEW MILL NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY DEER CREEK MININGCOMPANY AT FOREST, IDAHO.

(By Homer 11. Knodle) To correct any erronoua impressions of the Deer Creek Milling and Mining Company of Forest, Idaho, 1 have visited stockholders of the company who hold more than seventy thousand shares and asked them just what they found when they visited the property. I found them in every, case very enthusiastic over the pros- 1 pects of the company. Several of them frankly admitted they were go- 1 itig to increase their holdings as a re-’ suit of their visit to the mine. The work is being managed by W. J. J Orr. formerly of Bellefountaine, 0..' son of J. S. Orr, of Bellefountaine, and his brother, E. C. Orr, of Spokane. Washington. These men are not un- 1 known in Decatur. I find that the property consists of seventeen claims, each 600x1500 it. long 340 acres in extent, on a range showing heavy outcroppings of high' grade ore. From the information of the stockholders who have been there I to see, I learned there are four tunnels driven into the ore body for more than 500 feet each, with other neces-| sary passages to block out more than I a million dollars worth of ore. , From a report of Professor Thyngs, ‘ who made an examination of the property September 12, 1916, it develops that measurements of the ore bodies blocked out ready for the mill show ore exposed to the value of $1,397,900,-I' S 6. Since this report was made the ' tunnels have been extended several hundred feet and new ore veins opened up. The first mill built by the company 1 burned down August 31. 1916, after 1 two days operation. It is being te- ' built. I examined samples of or<j fyoni the several claims, some showing free 1 milling gold, silver and copper, while other samples dls< losed nothing to the naked eye, but bore flour gold. In interviewing stockholders I aimed to pick out men jtnown to Decatur citizens. They are all, I believe, known in Decatur, and I satisfied my- 1 self of their standing in their home : city. Here is what they say of the Deer Creek Milling and Mining Co. “What do I think of the Deer Creek Milling and Mining Company.” said A. D. Behymer. a prominent grain dealer of Rockford, when asked concerning this company. "Well. lam one t>. P heaviest stockholders and that ought to have some weight. I was out there in Idaho just before harvest this year. I went over all of the seventeen claims and I found outcroppings of highgrade ore on every claim. They’re working hard to get the mill that was burned back in running order and when it does look out for big dividends. In the tunnels I inspected the blocked out ore carefully and 1 brought several samples away and had them assayed. 1 was surprised at the results. “Ohio.” ho continued, ‘ has blue !<?■ Jaws yen know, and the state officials sen! their agent from Columbus out

i NEW LIGHT ON MURDER • United press Service) ’ Richmond, Va.. Nov. 2 —(Special to Dally Democrat)—The wife and son (Os A. P. Chamberlain sprang up today front the west to aid in avengi Ing his murder. Arrival of Alee Chamberlain. 28, of Des Moines, gave first intmialion that the dead 1 man was not the lonely bachelor that his neighbors had supposed him to be. Mrs. Chamberlain, her son said, hsd first learned of the fate of her estranged husband through western newspapers. Authorities today thought their testimony might prove decisive in establishing the supposed long standing enmity between the '■Judge" and his brother, Dr. Asa W. Chamberlain, 64, now imprisoned here, charged with the murder. Dr. Chamberlain, occupying the death cell which once confined Henry Clay Beatty, later executed for murdering i his wife, maintained his moody, broken fitfully with tears and fervent protestations of his innocence.

(here to look over the property. They came back, had samples assayed and reported very favorably on this mine. Mr. Orr, the head of this company, x comes from Bellefountaine. and is well known here, and lots of the heaviest stockholders reside in this region. It's not a company that is going to , freeze-out’ anyone, and >he little i stock holder is going to have a chance. I am vitally interested in the success of this company.” | Mr. Behymer spent three days at the I mine, talked with prospectors who j know the claims intimately, and every one of the men on the ground thought I lots of the company's prospects. Directors of the company expect to have i I quarterly dividends of one dollar on' I each share when the mill gets running Mr. Behmyer expects to see the mill in oi>eration about May. 1918. I found Mr. Behymer to be a con servatlve yet progressive business 1 . man of Rockford, in good standing at ! the banks, consulted in every civic imI provement and universally liked by all citizens. From Mr. Behymer’s office I went around to the produce plant an> talk ed to Mr. W. B. Frisinger. He, too. is a heavy stockholder in the Deer Creek property. He came back from a five day visit, to the mine last week. He expects to see the mill going by early spring and while there he gave special attention to an inspection of the ore in sight. “This ore,” Mr. Frisinger described, “outcrops on top of the mountain so that you may go up there and kick it loose with your foot. It is high grade ore. Much higher grade ore than you usually find in the Coeur d’ Alone district. While 1 was up there 1 visited the Callahan mines, the one that turn-1 ed out over ten millions of dollar:-' worth of precious metals last year. I and I found them working lower grade' ore than we have in sight. In our tun ' nets I saw block after block of ore ready to be cut out for the mill and only the erection of the new mill is all that is holding up production. Mr. Orr is working hard to get the new mill running and while 1 was there a force of men were bringing a several ton easting for lhe crusher over the hills. “You see the only trouble, is trans portation, l.ut we have gotten around that. Instead of transporting the ore we will work the ore up at the mine and transport the concentrate. As the concentrate is worth from five hundred to one thousand dollars a ton, 'we can afford to do thal. We have an advantage in working the ore that most mines do not have. We have ample waterpower. Deer Creek is :> fairly sized stream and we have erected a pressure box which gives us ample power to run our electro il machinery and wash the ores. 'lhi means quite a saving. 1 examined til of the claims in the proprly .old found all of them bearing good ore. easily gotten at. and currying very

' profitable amounts of metal. I feel I very optimistic over the property.” . j When I walked into the office of the .(biggest elevator and grain concern in i town I met John Moser. Most every- - one in Decatur knows John, as he .jived here for many years, having an > interest in the Decatur Produce com- ’ pany with Harry Moltz. ■| He is a stockholder in the Deer ’ Creek property and visited it last | April. He'waS there when the tunnels 1 had been cut into the ore body five ' hundred and four feet and saw two or three million dollars worth of ore . blocked out for the mill. The first mill erected by the com'.pany burned down August 31, 1916, i within a day or two after the engineer arrived and started operations. Mr. I Moser saw the ore outcroppings and j knows that the ore runs evenly throughout the seventeen claims. Each claim is 600 feet long and all follow the ore body. There is three hundred and forty acres in lhe proper- . ty, all underlaid by ore. His business partner. Herbert F.i- --! singer, was accompanied on his tour of inspection by William Christen, brother of Mayor Christen. He brought back a plat of the proper, y, profiles of the work which show the , developement. While at the mines these men selected at random several ! hundred samples of ore from all parts .of the property, in the tunnels, front where ore was in sight. An average assay of these samples, by several officers in different parts of the conn try gave an average of $43.96 a ton. This may be cited as a fair average—as fair as can possibly be made. These men did not try to deceive themselves. They were from Missouri Mr. J. L. Moser of Wren, father of 'John Moser, got back yesterday from la long visit at the mine He talked .very enthusiastically of the property ] and is going to take a still larger block of the stock. He is already a stockholder. He found the work going on both in the tunnels and in the erection of the new mill. He expects the mill to be running nicely by early spring and has a firm belief in the great future of the mine. He saw all the high grade ore that has been blocked out for the mill. The mill is being arranged for a one hundred twenty-five ton basis to start ' and this will be enlarger as soon as ’ the ore is being worked. The water ' power is already installed and as soon - as the heavy crustier is in place the . minor adjustments can bo made and i work commenced. t This property is but a short disti ance form the world famous Coeur d’ 1 Alene district from which millions have been ta’’?n since 1900.
