Western Union Mine Shows Rich Ore as Drift Extends West
Under lease, a winze from the math tunnel to 60 feet depth was sunk and a westward drift of about 200 feet exposed high grade ore. The winze has been unwatered and plans aim to extend the drift under a large ore showing. An estimated 50 feet may suffice to reach the ore, which appears to widen with depth.

Gunite Fireproofing Tested By University of California
Tests by the Bureau of Mines at Berkeley show Portland cement gunite withstands high heat and can prevent mine fires when applied to timber. Magnesium oxychloride slabs failed, crumbling and allowing ignition. The results suggest headframes and all underground timbering, plus surface buildings such as transformer houses and assay offices, can be fireproofed with gunite coatings.

Wallace Transit and Canyon Housing Plan Urged
Wallace business leaders press the board of trade to unite private rail interests and canyon mining firms to extend frequent passenger service between Wallace and Burke and to housing for married canyon workers. They argue trains running two shifts would boost ridership, offset losses, and spur private homebuilding, with freight profits likely compensating any shortfall. The plan hinges on cooperation of two railroads and mining companies.
