Strike Deepens at American Commander Mill Ore
An important strike on the American Commander mine reveals a vein about 10 feet wide intersected 107 feet below the shaft. Milling ore shows roughly 6 feet of ore with 2 feet high grade, including ore carrying about 14 percent lead and 6 to 8 ounces of silver. Drifting east from the 170-foot level aims to reach a 350-foot depth, with potential for a large ore body as tunnels extend. The company has purchased a compressor and drills for immediate installation near No. 2 tunnel, with operations expected to start late May benefiting adjacent holdings West Hunter and Independence.

Voters displayed little interest in city elections with all Republicans nominating a full ticket. Incumbent city clerk D H DeLong, an independent, was reelected by a large margin.
