Making Rubber Shoes.

Many people suppose that rubber
shoes are made by melting the material
and running it into molds. Such is not
the case.
The manufacture of rubber shoes is
not very much different from the man
ufacture of leather shoes. They are
made on Stats just the same, but in
stead of being sewed they are cemented

from South America" said drummer
to a Denver News reporter. at is
about the color of molasses and is of a
spongy nature.
First, it goes through crushing or
rolling process, and comes out in rough
sheets and looks very much like cows
hide. Then it is taken into compound
ing room, where it is mixed with a COM
pound and vulcanized.
after that 1t is cut into small pieces,
according to the parts of the shoes
Which we wish to get, and is afterward
fitted on to the Stats by the workmen in
the same manner that leather is.
How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About 70
per cent. The best Para gum costs 50
cents pound, SO you see rubber boots
and shoes can not be made for nothing.
In the smallest rubber shoe made there
are about four ounces of pure rubber,
and from that to probably four pounds
in pair of rubber boots.
"Old rubbers are ground up, lining
and all, into what we call rag carpets,
and it is used for insoles.
THE work is nearly all done by hand
and in the factories are employed young
men and women. A bootmaker
gets 20 cents a pair for making them,
and good man can turn out from ten
TO twenty pair day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with a total capacity of over
100000 pairs of boots and shoes a day.
'.lhere are four factories having a
capacity of over $4,000 pairs each, and

at seems funny to read that a

anything to restrain the use OF In

Notes from Seafoam.

Johnny Foster, writing from this
far inland silverado, under date of
August 9th, says everybody there is
very busy working on their claims,
and all are taking out a great deal
Of ore. Mr.. Post has arrived here
and gone to work on the Seafoam
to run a cross-cut to the hanging
wall. Aleck Kleupfer is working
on the Mountain Goat mine. The
Sulphur mine is turning out fine
ore, and has made one shipment.
A tunnel is being driven on the
Eureka mine to tap the upper works.
l hear from the Mountain King,
owned by Chris Mohler and Nick
Johnson, that they have plenty of
ore in sight in their new tunnel. A
bad accident occurred on the N. G.
mine near Seafoam, short time
ago, by which one of the owners, a
Mr.. Sullivan, had his leg broken in
two places. The boys took him
over to Bonanza where his family
lives, to be cared for till he gets
we'll. / am working in a 3foot vein
of solid ore.
The above is a pretty good show
ing, and it is very evident from all
accounts that Seafoam will be one
of the leading camps of all of this
section if it is ever provided with
reasonably good transportation IA
cilitiee. It is kept in the back
ground only because it costs the
value of ordinary high-grade ore to
mine, ship and reduce its ores.

THE Silver Messenger wants to
know why it is that the "partlci-

too much self-respect to engage IN
discraceful affairs.

THE Seven Devils copper balloon
seems to have collapsed for lack of
funds to keep it inflated. Still we
believe upon information derived
from mining men, that the camp is
immensely rich in copper, and will
establish itself in the confidence OF
capitalists and miners and become
a chief wealth-producer of the state.
But this will not come about until
mine-owners there put in their own
money and labor and develop what
they have; for capitalists will take
no risks whatever, neither at Seven
Devils nor elsewhere.

award is not given. The Oakland
(Cal.) Enquirer, from which our

Johnson and his friends are quite
happy over his good fortune, and
we are sure his old Idaho frlenos
will be as we'll pleased as the rest !;

upon his talent in that line, but as

three-pound trout. The destroyer
Gus animal resisting the proceeding

was finally the victor. He secured
the unruly trout but lost his hat in
the river, and had to return to his
waiting flock hatless and brown

school land lying just across the

law been violated? Was the state
