SHARE RESULTS OF RICH STRIKE By STOREY BUCK. C. O. Dunlop, president of Silver Dollar Mining company, is in Wallace, where negotiations are being concluded for a division of the proceeds to come from the recent strike in the Chester vein. Parties interested are Sunshine Mining company, Silver Dollar company and Polaris Mining company.

Sunshine has opened high grade ore all three crosscuts driven into the vein. The new crosscut openings are 700 or 800 feet west of the Polaris strike and are from Sunshine's 2500, 2700 and 3100 levlast of which is 400 feet deeper than the Polaris opening. Grade Is Constant. Each of the new crosscuts opens the vein at different horizons, but in about the same east and west location, and each opening shows about the same high grade of ore as was disclosed in the Polaris crosscut, which widened out to eight feet of what is said to be 50- ounce silver and. 16 per cent lead when it reached the Silver Dollar end-line.

While the crosscut openings are on Sunshine ground, the Sunshine company concedes the apex of the vein is on Silver Syndicate ground and has therefore entered into a contract with Silver Syndicate to mine the ore on a basis said to be 60 per cent for Sunshine and 40 per cent for Silver Syndicate. The same arrangement has been made with Polaris for the portion of the vein apexing on Polaris ground. Hawaiians Eat Well; Observers See Waste WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.

Kelly saying that "life must go on," explained today the philosophy that led her to remarry two years after her hero husband gave his life in the early stages of the war in the Pacific.

The attractive, 26-year-old widow was yesterday to Lieutenant Watson Pedlow, married, 35, a former Philadelphia chemical engineer now serving with the navy bureau of aeronautics in Washington.

Just before the couple left on a 10-day honeymoon to an undisclosed destination, Mrs. Kelly said in an interview with a Philadelphia Evening Bulletin reporter: "Of course you can never forget the past and the past will always color the present. But I don't think you should let the past affect the present so much that there can be no future. "Every woman whose husband is -either in war or in peace has to face the problem of how to lead her life. can retreat into a shell of memories or she can realize that life will and must go on." am not saying that every widow of a service man should remarry, but neither am I saying that every widow should not remarry.

"The point is rather that while you need not deliberately seek new ties, you must not erect false barriers against them. You have to have the courage to do what you think is best." Mrs. Kelly said that Lieutenant Pedlow, whom she met last year while he was in the west on a navy mission, "feels it a real challenge to raise my son Corky properly and as Captain Kelly would have wanted. The lieutenant and the child "already are fond of each other," she added. Corky, whose father is credited with a successful attack on the Japanese battleship Haruna, has been recommended for appointment to West Point in 1956.
