Moyea Falls and Myrtle Greek
Falls Furnish
AN UNLIMITED WATER POWER
Pure Water and Water Power Suffi-
Gent for the Needs of the Largest
City on the Coast.

Water power is an immense fac
tor in building up city. 1t has
made Spokane and Great Falls and
other flourishing cities we might
mention. Water power of itself
will not make a city, but when it
is surrounded by such great natural
resources as the cities we have
named, and which Bonner's Ferry
possesses in no less degree, it is sure
to bring to it manufactures, smelt-
ers, electrical plants and other in
dustries.
1t is the good fortune of Bonner's
Ferry to be possessed Of unlimited
water power. Moyea Falls are To-
Gated only eight miles from the
city. They are located on Moyea
river, which empties into the Koot-
enai five miles above town. The
stream is, as its name implies,
river, carrying a vast supply Of
clear, mountain water. The fall in
the stream from the falls to Bon
ner's Ferry is estimated at $50 feet.
Dynamos could be put in at the
falls-the fall one place is go feet
or the water could be cheaply piped
to the city. So from this source
alone Bonner's Ferry has, when it
is needed, water power for smelters
and manufactures, and water for a
city large as any on the coast.
In addition to the Moyea Falls
one of the finest water powers in
the country is located on Myrtle
creek about i've miles west Of town
Here, in half a mile, Myrtle creek
which is quite large stream, falls
from a height Of $50 feet. The
water comes direct from mountain
springs and is as clear as crystal a
all seasons. This is the cheapes
water power to utilize for Bonner
Ferry, and is especially adapted TO
system of city water works anC
electric light plant.
From the above it will be OBJ
served that Bonner's Ferry has fin
facilities for city water works ant
electric lights, and a water powe
unlimited.

THE PRIEST RIVER MINES
Another Rich District Near
Bonner's Ferry.
THE GREAT CONTINENTAL MINE
Mining Experts Say It Has the Biggest
Surface Showing of Any Mine
in the Country.

The Priest River mining district
As one of the most promising in the
Kootenai country. 1t is compar-
atively new and unexplored region.
Three years ago some fine locations
were made, but it was not until the
discovery of the Smith mine, the
Continental, year ago last October,
that the country attracted much
attention. The district is located
about 80 miles northwest of Bon
ner's Ferry. 1t lies between Priest
river and the summit of the range
between Priest river and the Koot-
enai. The only practical inlet to
the district is by way of Bonner's
Ferry and down the Kootenai to
the mouth of Bear creek, thence up
Bear creek to the mines.
Three years ago the first locations
of any note were made by J. Howe
and d. Mitchell. They prospected
on Priest river near the head of the
lake. They located the Tascoo in
this section. The Tascoo is a high
grade galena ledge some 10 or II
feet wide. The Pendleton claim
was afterwards located on the sam e
ledge by Northern Pacific officials.
No great amount of work has been
done on these claims owing to their
inaccessibility at present, but quite
number Of promising locations
have been made since that time.
1t was year ago last October,
however, that the biggest strike
was made in the Priest Lake region.
1t was then that Billy Huston and
Fred Suffer located the Continental,
or Smith mine as it is commonly
called. This discovery is located
near the summit of the mountains
between Priest river and the Koot-
enai, and only few miles south of
the Boundary line. the ledge is
II to Is feet wide and is traceable
by the ore cropping for a distance
of two or three miles. The stri king
feature of this ledge is the fact that
vast quantities of ore lie exposed on
the surface. A number of experts
have examined the property and it
is the unanimous verdict that the
Continental has the greatest surface
showing of anything in the entire
Kootenai country. $4,000 was re-
fused for this mine last summer
But little development work has
been done as yet, but the claim viii
be opened up next summer.
On the same ledge are a number o
other locations which are probably
as good as the Continental. Among
them are: The Jasper and the Blu
Joe, owned by VIM. Huston, Charli
Smith, Ignatz We'll and others
The Cariboo owned by Henry Sad
Ter and w. P. Granger; the Key

HOW THE YEAR is MEASURED.
An Actual Error of But One Day in
Fifty-Two Centuries.


Fifty-Two Centuries. -
The ancients had various methods of
computing time. Some determined
the length of the year by the moon,
others by the earth's annual trip
around the sun, calling the unit of
time measure thus adopted a ''solar
gear" from the word ''sol" or sun,
meaning sun year. Those who
reckoned time by the moon were sadly
mixed up as to time, twelve lunar
months not being enough for year,
while thirteen were too many. Three
hundred and siXty-five days were also
too few; 366 exceeded the length of the
true year. These facts were noticed
by Julius Caesar, who, considering 365
days and six hours to be the exact
length Of the year, corrected the error
to a certain extent by constituting
every fourth year to consist OF SOC days.
This was called the "leap year" and
was always known by being an exact
multiple of four. But even this cor
rection made the year about eleven
minutes too long, which made another

that the ten days between the 4th and

To prevent further irregularities,
this wise pope decreed that in the flu

should be a leap year. excepting
