NUMBER 20

Spot has returned to Montana
direct from the seat Of var in the far
| east.
Mr.. Satterlee left Montana prior to
the breaking out of the Philippine in
surrection and has been engaged for
several years in the lumber business.
He spent last Christmas day in Port
| Arthur. At Vladivostok he took
contract to supply the Russian govern
ment with heavy logs, to be used as
| piling in the harbor at that place.
Sympathy With Russia.
he Travelled across the Russian en-
pire via the Siberian railway to Mos
COW, and is quite familiar with the
war situation. Mr.. Satterlee declares
that he is Russian BY sympathy and
says that all the Europeans in that
country are the same way. He ac-
counts for this by saying that the
Russians are white race, while the
Japs are brown. Asked as to the war
footing of both nations, Mr.. Satterlee
said:
ut is generally believed among the
European people that Japan is no
match for Russia on land, although
the Japs are well equipped to make
more than a stand-off on the water.
Japan has kept her men in training in
the navy, and they have better equip
ped ships. On land the Japs will not
be equal to the Russians for the reason
that they cannot concentrate suffi-
cient number of men at one place.
May Take Port Arthur.
1T is generally conceded by the
Europeans that the Japs may succeed
in taking Port Arthur, but this is not
a serious feature Of the war. The
main reliance of the Russians is to
repel invasion.
"Shing Wang Tow is really better
harbor for Russian commercial ad-
vantages than Port Arthur. It is on
the continental side and Russians need
it. Shang Hi Qwan is also another
advantageous point for commercial
purposes. Manchuria is the gateway
for commercial outlet for Russia.
but think the port of Ching Wan
Tow is better point of vantage.

ANNUAL REPORT OF IDAHO IN
SPECTOR OF MINES.
LOCATED IN GREAT MINERAL BELT
Inspector Bell Reminds the Wise
Acres That Cripple Creek Was
Once in the Discard.

The annual report of Robt. N. Bell,
state inspector of mines for the state
OF Idaho, recently issued, gives an ex
haustive description of the mines of
the state. Special mention is made of
the mines of Lemhi county and the re-
port concludes with the following,
anent the new Owl creek district:
The discovery of monster bodies Of
gold-bearing porphyry were made dur
ing the summer on the headwaters of
Owl creek 10 miles west of Shoup, and
some sensational newspaper stories
have been told of the great width of
the deposit and the high values that it
contains, stories that savor of the early
fairy tales of the Thunder Mountain
during the height of its boom. There
are several old gold quartz camps
within 80 miles of Owl creek that con.
tain dozens of gold quartz prospectors
and arastra men, who are past mast
ers in the art of judging the value of
ore represented by colors in the pan.
These local experts of the pick and
pan do not seem to enthuse over the
field on par with the newspaper stories
and there are some pretty wise boys
among them, too, in a mining way,
even if they do not live right on Owl
creek; but on the other hand, they
may be too skeptical for Lemhi county

Idle porphyry and tuff that carry gold

so far none of them have been found
to average enough to be considered
