THEEAD TRTJST

Conditions are unfavorable in
the Occur d'Alenes just at present
owing to the action of the lead
trust in cutting the price Of lead.
None OF the mines are running
with full forces of men and some
have shut down altogether. AS a
consequences the towns in the Occur
d'Alenes are not booming to any
appreciable extent. The price OF
lead is so low that the mines can
not operate at a profit, except in
exceptional cases. The lead trust
had made an arrangement with
most of the owners to take a lin
tied output Of their mines at 50 sc
per hundred, reserving the right to
lower this price at any time by
giving go days notice. Under this
agreement some Of the mines are
operating, but with greatly reduced
crews. The Helena Frisco mine al
Gem, one of the largest in the en-.
tire Occur d Alenes has shut down
completely, but the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan is still running. Ths
Helena Frisco is a shaft mine
while the Bunker dill and Sullivan
is worked by means of a tunnel, al
small profit under the contrac
with the lead trust, while tn,
others cannot.

Seed Time And Harvest.

A good time to think most SER
iously Of the harvest is seed time.
The decision you make then will
determine the value Of your crops
later. The growing competition
in seed selling is an increasing
temptation to INSCRIPTIONS dealers
to make extrayagant claims for
their seeds, both in price and pro-
ducing qualities. The wisest
farmers are those who are influ-
enced most by what experience has

at the harvest. The natural con-
sequence Of this confidence is an
ever increasing business. d. NJ.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.
Bond Given on Taylor Proper
ties for S15O.OOO,


A. ii. Tillson, Jr., an assayer at
Warren, was in the city Saturday
from the new Thunder Mountain
district and states that there have
been some wonderful finds in Pro.
file and Rainbow mountains. He
says that next spring there will be
a great rush into that country, and
that mining men are now making
preparations for the next year.
In speaking of the big deals made
recently Mr.. Tillson said: "When
Colonel Dewey took his his $780,
600 bond ON the Thunder Noun
tain there was not SO much known
about the district. He began de-
velopment work and made such a
rich strike that he paid the bond
Immediately and at once took in a
10-stamp mill. He will start to
work milling ore from a ledge fully
90 feet wide, and from which the
average assays run from $l5 to s2O
ton. Colonel Dewey has pur-
chased a 100 stamp mill, and il
will be installed in the spring.
"The Dewey purchases have
caused other purchases, aud the
bond on the Taylor properties on
Rainbow mountain $3.50, 600, l25
per cent CASH has now been made
Twelve men are now working on
the claims. and work will be pushed
next spring with larg.- force OF
men. hume rous small sale, have
been made, FROM 1000 to 5000,
and several other big deals are
pending. There are great many
good properties on Big creek, Gov
eminent creek and on Profile. A
number of good strikes have been
made on Profile, and the surface
showings are certainly wonderful.
Provisions are very high in that
district at the present time. Flour
is $40 sack and other provisions
are in proportion"

SanCtimOnOuS advocates.

Under modern processes of ma.
nipulation, land scrip is a device
by which great corporations get
legal possession ofpublic domain in
defiance of the real spirit Of our
land laws. The Burlington and
Northern Pacific Railway compan-
les are the most extensive holders
of this land scrip, which is, in other
words, the right to take the choic-
est public lands for equal areas of
worthless land they have found OPP
portunity to surrender to the Gov
eminent. Tracts of special value
are "scripped" by these companies
or their successors in interest by
the thousands of acres before the
settlers have a chance to take up
homes. Here is an injustice that
might properly be ended by Cong
ress at this session.

HORSES ON sNoWsHoEs.

The saying, ''horses on snow
shoes" is usually considered huge
joke, yet it is fact. In the Buff
falo Hump district in this county,
IN the winter or spring months this
method of transportation is very
common, as the pack animals are
usually equipped with snowshoes.
The road from Grangeville to
Adams camp distance of 35
miles, isusually passable by wagon,
and sometimes a little farther on,
but the last Is miles, if made in
the winter months, must be by
pack horses mountedOn snowshoes.
The snow lies light and inclined to
drift, and often accumulates to a
depth OF from 10 to Is feet. Small
pack horses are used, and after be-
ing specially shod with shoes with
long calks, inclining sharply back
ward, a snowshoe is put on. This
snowshoe is made eight inches in
diameter, and circular in form, by
placing two-inch boards with the
grain at right angles, to increase
the strength. Tenents are then
cut in the top surface into which
the calks fit. Bolts are then passed
through the boards on each side OF
the hind calks, to which is con-
nected strap which passes over
the front of the hoof which can be
frightened by means of nuts on the
under side. This prevents the
hoofs OF the animals slipping for
ward, and the calks inclining back
ward prevent the shoe slipping
backward. When first these snow
shoes are put on it is All amusing
sight to watch the maneuvers of
the horse; it takes some little time
for him to get used to them. But
it is surprising to note the effect it
has on the ordinary animal. He
walks along with as much conf
dence as the average Norwegian
would on his skees, and really lifts
his foot to have it put on, seeming
to understand the real necessity of
their existence With these shoes
good loads can be packed over
quite soft snow.

Late statistics show the steady

Late statistics show the steady
decline of flax cultivation in
Europe. This decline in England,
Germany and Austria since 1866
amounts to 65 per cent. The flax
acreage has been reduced nearly 80
per cent since 1896 alone. In
Austria there were sixty-nine flax
mills in 1879; now there are but
thirty. 1t is explained that this
decrease is not wholly due to the
decline in flax raising, but to the
substitution Of cotton for linen
goods in the Austrian army, navy
and public institutions. What
ever the cause, the decline marks
an suspicious time for the increase
Of flax culture in the United States
