Decatur Chapter.

Joe Wheeler Chapter, Of the Uniteo Daughters of the Confederacy gave tneir first public reception Tuesday night or this week at the Elk's Hall. The occa- sion was rendered in honor of the natal day, of Robert E. Lee, the greatest chieT- tain and most noble spirited and one or the best beloved men the world ever knew.
 The spacious reception hall, parlors and dining room were elegantly and artistic | ally draped in; the colors of the Confed- eracy, red alternating with white. on the walls of the different rooms were large flags of the Stars and Bars, and
 the Daughters wore badges and rosettes | in the beloved colors. The flags were made specially for the occasion by Mes- danes G. D. Williamson and Woodie | Bum.
 It was first intended by the Daughters | to have memorial service combined with | the reception, and General George F. Harrison of Opelika, was invited to de- liver the address of eulogy, but circum-
 stances forbade his coming. Colonel J. M. Falkner and General Wheeler were also invited guests, but they, too, were
 unable to be present. However, an in-
 formal and somewhat impromptu pro-
 gram was rendered. which was en rap port with the occasion and very much en- | joyed by all. .'.
 A most pleasing impression was made | onE the guest when arriving at the en-
 trance hall. The gay colors. the cheerful | and all pervading bonhomie and entire
 absence of formality and spirit of con- | geniality conspired to lend an added charm to the occasion. Another espe- cially notable feature was the beautiful costumes of many of the fair Daughters, and, without intending adulation or full | some praise, never did woman appear so charming and lovely. The assembled
 galaxy of beauty was truly an inspiration
 to the masculine eye and heart and the
 members of the sterner sex present felt as though they were enjoying brief pe-
 roid of Edenic and Adamic bliss in the presence of these modern representatives of the noblest' handlwork of the Deity prototyped in our fore-mother Eve. The reception committee was composed | of Mesdames D. w. Speake, O. B. Cart | wright, Walter M. Grubbs. J. w. Rolte- Ter, Calvin Brown; Misses Rosa Cart
 wright and Minnie Brown. And most gracious and charming were the cordial greetings extended to. every guest pass ing under the lintels of the hall. At the punch bowl, the contents of which was an innocent and most delicious combina-
 ton of, fruits, presided over by Misses
 Myrtle Finn and Sarah Pointer.
 The refreshment committee was com
 posed of Mesdames Emmet Sanders, W.
 N. Hall, G. D. Williamson. w.. H. Long.
 The committee on decorations was com
 posed of Mesdames O. B. Cartwright,
 WoodIe Bunn,- J. w. Boiler, Misses Min
 nie and Cora Brown.
 The invitation committee was composed
 of Mrs. Lawrence Sewell. Misses Rosa
 Cartwright. Margaret Banks, Minnie Brown and Cora Brown.
 Music was furnished by a string band,
 which lent It's proverbial charm to the ] other features of the occasion.

NOTHING DEFINITE DECIDED.
President Z. Z. Calvin Says That Moth.

The building OF the Minidoka &
Southwestern, articles of which COM
pany were filed In Boise yesterday, ac-
cordlng to q special to the News" last
evening, now rests on the settlement OF
the lands taken up under the Twin
Falls Irrigation company. Assistant
General Manager t. Il. Calvin OF the
Oregon Short Line, and the president Of
the new feeder for the Short Line, this
morning stated that nothing definite
had yet been decided upon relative TO
the commencement of construction on
the S5-mile branch. This would be TAX.
en- up as soon as Il was demonstrated
that the lands tributary to the propos-
ed railroad had been taken up By bona
fide settlers, he said.
The proposed railroad will open up
and furnish transportation facilities for
an important and very promising Sec
ton OF the state Of Idaho and II comes
as another demonstration of what the
Hartman line IL doing for the develop
ment Of the Gem State.
Now that the route OF the proposed
road has been made public there Is
bound TO be boom In holdings and
homesteads along the route and It Is
asserted that values have already
jumped from s. to $50 an acre I'm "a
hours as the consequence. Those lands
which have not already been taken up
In the vicinity Of the proposed road are
being filed upon by those who are anx-
ious to get in on the ground floor.
The new compeny which filed articles

yesterday proposes to build a railroad

GOOD FOR IDAHO PRODUCERS
Occur d'Alene Mine Owness WIN Get
More for Their Lead This Year.

Occur dAlene Mine Owness VIII Get
More for Their Lead This Year.
The lead producers Of the Occur
d'Alene district In northern Idaho are
TO receive a better price for their pro-
duct, says the Spokesman Review.
Substantial reductions are being made
BY the american smeitins * hcnnids
company to the Occur d Acne mine
owners Tor treating the silyer-lead ores
OF the big district Under the old con-
tracts the mine owners have been pay
ing ylS a ton freight and treatment on
most OF their ore, and they nave been
getting only Sla cents q pound for the
lead contents although the New York
price ON lead in 80 ton lots has been
around AZ cents.
The big Occur d'Aene interests have
been demanding a REIMBURSEMENT OF
prices. by which they will get 80 per
cent OF the New York quotations In
stead Of an arbitrary price. Lead has
been advancing, surplus stocks have
been worked OFF, and the American
Smelling g. Refining company. which
practically controls the market, has
withdrawn quotations altogether until
Feb. /. That move Is believed to be
forester to further advance. The
whole tone of the lead market IL bull
ish. with lead at AZ cents, which will
probably prove n conservative figure,
the mine owners would receive 4.O5
cents per pound for their product, II
they got 90 per cent OF the New York
quotations. That Is an advance of prac-
tically 10 per cent over their present
price.
The smeters have always made an ar
bitrary deduction Of 10 per cent from
the lead contents OF the lead in the ore.
The deduction Is for alleged losses In
smelling That practise viii be con-
tinued under the new arrangements.
Practically. therefore. the mine owner
will receive 30 per cent OF the value OF
90 per cent Of the lead contents IN the
ore, or 81 per cent Of the gross assay
value OF the lead. In the past he has
received 3is cents a pound for 80 per
cent OF the lead.
Take an ore going 30 per cent in
lead. II contains. gross, 1000 pounds of
the metal Under the old arrangement
the miner was paid 3la cents q pound
for 90 per cent of II, or 900 pounds,
which gives $3l 50. Under the new ar
rangement, II lead commands AZ cents
In the New York market the mine own
err viii be paid still for only 300 pounds,
or 80 per cent, but he will get paid at
the rate Of 4O5 cents pound, which Is
30 per cent of the New York price. That
will give him s36.l5 for his lead,
There has also been n readjustment
OF freight rates, Last year ores car
rying gross values OF less than $50, paid
freight Of IS a ton; ore running from
$50 to s65 paid so ton, and ore valued
at more than s65 paid sl2 a ton. Under
new adjustment announced by the
railways Il few days ago ore carrying
not more than $50 ton VIII take
an IS freight rate, That classification
includes most OF the ore shipped from
the Occur d'Alenes, so that the result Is
practical cut Of 50 n ton in freight
rates.

200 Tons Of Ore Daily.

The Winnemuck mill at Bingham re-
Gently leased and remoddled by the
Ohio Copper company in Bingham was
scheduled to go into commission this
morning and for the purpose Of seeing
the first ore turned In Major
Caitrow and Director A. j. BEETLES took
this mornings train for camp. The
plant has been ready for several days
but the start was delayed on account of
the late Copper Belt accident. The
Ohio management is now prepared to
forward from the mine daily $50 tons
Of milling and so tons OF the nigh grade
ores, This could easily be increased
and possibly the high grade ore ship
ments will be before very long.
But until the mine is equipped with
its proposed 500-t0n concentrator the
output of low grade ores will continue
to be about $50 tons daily.
The Developments IN the mine
have a great deal more than met the
expectations of the new managers.
