A Strike in Idaho.

A strike has been made in the Friday
at Willow Creek, Idaho, belonging to
Sorensou and Parrish of Spokane. A rich
chute of ore has been found cropping out
on the surface. 1t has been stripped for
30 feet and has been cut into from the
bottow of the cut distance of eight feet
without exposing the hanging wall The
value of the ore is not given out, but
it is said that it averages over $50 a ton
in gold. A lot is being hauled here for
shipment. Five hundred sacks have now
arrived. 1t is believed that the main
ledge Of that camp has been opened and
that it will prove to be one Of the big
mines of the state
Heavy shipments.
One day last week the lie Roi estah-
ished another record by loading and
shipping 525 tons OF ore. The output Of
the mine for October was - $50 tons. The
Northport smelter is running at 400 tons,
its full daily capacity.

is therefore known to be 400 feet deep,
as tunnel No. 3 taps the ledge at that
depth. 1t is Mr. Clark's belief that what
is known as the south ore chute is really
part OF the big chute, and that they
have now united. If this theory holds
good, the chute will be 300 feet long from
south to north, with an ore body of av-
erage width of about l6 feet. At the
point where it is crossed by the tunnel it
is "a feet wide, and Of this Is feet is high

Low Par Values.

ious sections OF the northwest evidently
intend TO get the best of the war tax rev.
enue business AS il has been uniustly
decided that the tax must be levied on
the par value of stock, these new COM
panies have reduced the par value TO 5
and 10 cents. While these tactics have
been resorted to to reduce the levy on
each share of stock issued, yet never
theless it can not be called dishonorable,
for the tax as il has been decided by the
commissioner is unjust. DO one would OBJ
iect to pay tax on the price for which
the shares are sold, but when the par
value is 81 and the shares only bring,
say or 10 cents, it is unreasonable to
demand the full tax on the 81, or par
value. As there is no other remedy, the
promoters have decided to organize new
companies in such manner that the
