underground workings of a quartz
mine, with tunnels, shafts and
The mining scene, pictured in
life-like mineature form, is es-
pecially noteworthy. The back
ground is made up Of a series of
mountains, on the side of which
appear the native forests of pine,
rivulets of crystal water, banks
of glistening snow near the peaks,
mountain trails and a beautiful
stream of water in the valley
below.
On the mountain side appears
the effects of a mountain snow
slide, with the upturned trees
still clinging to mother earth and
quantities Of brush and debris at
the base Of the mountain.
This model shows the quartz
workings upon the mountains,
with the method of tunnelling
and shafting clearly illustrated.
They also show the processes
used in producing quartz out
cropping upon a ledge, with the
quartz mill, blacksmith shop,
boarding house and the miners
cabin. At the mountains base,
and on a slight elevation above
the river, appears the gravel bars
where placer mining is done.
Altogether, this feature of the
Idaho mining exhibit is most ar
tistic and, at the same time, prac-
tical, showing the typical west
ern mining life.

Prepared for Winter Travel

Rudolph & Medaris, owners
of the ferry at the Salmon river
crossing of the Dixie-Roosevelt
trail, passed through Elk on their
way back from Clearwater where
they went to procure their winter
supplies. They want the public
to know that they are prepared
to handle any volume of traffic
which may seek to enter the
Thunder Mountain, RAINY Ridge
or Big creek districts over the
northern route.

Has Succeeded.

E. M. Aldrich, who went to
New York recently to place New
some and Elk City properties,
writes that he has met with sue
cess. He left New York on his
return the 10th inst. The people
of these two districts will say
that Mr.. Aldrich deserves all the
success which may have attended
his efforts. Like Vim. Hogan, j.
W. Royer, M. J. Sweeney, An
drew Prader and S. w. Smith,
who are operating here, as well
as the numerous claim owners,
he refused to accept the amateur
ish verdict of the lunch bucket"
expert against his own ripper
judgment. That Mr.. Aldrich's s
demonstrated success as an oper-
ator, lies is the future, makes no
difference. Men Of judgment
who have seen the property say
it will require the most rabid in
competency of management to
compass a failure, and that pos
sibility can safely be eliminated
as factor in the future estimates
of this enterprise.

The average visitor at the eX-
position has an idea that to mine
means simply to locate a claim
and, with pick and shovel, gather
up the precious mesal, with but
little expenditure, either of labor
or capital. However, after Wis
iting the Idaho exhibit and in
specting the mineature model OF
a typical Idaho mining camp, with
its beautiful mountain scenery,
depicted in natural colors, with
the forest trees, streams and nat
ural sage brush, one is better in
formed on this absorbing subject,
through the interesting discourse
by the builder Of the model, Mr..
B. M. McGlenn, as he takes the
crowds personally through the
various operations, illustrating
his lecture from time to time by
means of various appliances.
You are shown the process and
practice of prospecting, crushing
the quartz with mortar and pes
tie, panning out the gold and
illustrating the process by which
the prospector determines wheth-
er or not he has made a strike.

Headed South.

George Blaine spent several
days in camp this, week on his
way outside where he intends
spending the winter. He will
first go to Los Angeles and then
to Utah, where he owns extern
sive mining interests. Condi-
tions in the Hump, he says, are
very quiet, although good work
is being done and good results
obtained. The Crackerjack was
forced to shut down for lack of
power and the Jumbo is badly
crippled by the same cause.

Ever since our alleged progen-
itors ceased using the tree tops
and vines as highways through
the jungles, when on business or
pleasure bent, and, descending to
the earth, stood erect and faced
for the first time the great good
roads" problem, it has been COM
paratively an easy task to segre-
gate the advanced and prosperous
people from the laggards. Given
an advanced and prosperous
state, county or district, and you
will find good highways. This
commonwealth Of rs-this royal
''gem of the mountains" with
all her natural wealth, is heavily
handicapped by very inadequate
transportation facilities.
The products of her fertile soil,
her vast forests and limitless min
eral wealth, are fearfully dis
counted by an almost prohibitive
transportation tariff.
Nor need we go far afeld for
an illustration. Idaho county is
ideal for the purpose. An enor-
nous tract of the greatest agri-
cultural and stock lands lying at
the very threshold of a mineral
zone, the area of which is greater
than that of some of our sister
states, and the values contained
therein, infinite.
Capital says: "You have very
large bodies of ore, and you have
the values; but look ! The i'm
mense cost of putting in supplies
and machinery, and of shipping
out the concentrates and base
ores will eat up the profits. "
When the colossal mineral fields
of Idaho county come into then
own, the agricultural and stock
interests will not need to seek
foreign markets, but will have {
permanent home market with the
best of prices. The present So

No factor in the development
and prosperity of a mining town,
district or region is of greater
Importance than a local custom
plant for the treatment of ores.
In a free-gold mining region
nearly every mine is equipped
with a mill, but there are districts
where the veins are small and
the rock high grade as compared
with that of large bodies of what
is generally recognized as low
grade ore. In some districts the
ores produced are not free mil
ling, and can only be economical
ly treated by smelling. In either
case, if the veins or ore bodies
are of limited extent, a single
property will not usually justify
mill or smelter, but several
small mines may be able to keep
custom mill or smelter supplied
continuously with ore. Black
hawk, Central City and Idaho
Springs, Colorado, are noted in
stances Of the advantage to be
derived from the operation of
custom mills. And Leadville fur
nishes an instance of the value
of custom smelter in the devel-
opment and prosperity Of dis
trict. To become a success the
custom reduction works must be
conducted by competent and hon.
est men. In the handling of
smelling ores there is seldom a
misunderstanding between miner
and smelter, as all the ore ship
ped to the smelter is crushed and
sampled automatically, and is as
fair for one as for the other, but
the custom gold mill is seldom
equipped with sampling devices,
and both the miner and the mill
man depends upon the plates and
concentrator returns for a know
ledge of the values in the ores.
Many mills, both on custom work
and those owned by the mine
owner, are loosely run, and when
such is the case disputes are of
frequent occurrence. The miner
usually overestimates the value
of his ore, though not intending
to do so. His method of samp-
ling is faulty and often leads to
incorrect results. AS a matter
of fact the returns in amalgam
and concentrates, with the value
in the tailings, prove the gross
value in the ore, but devices are
not always at hand to properly

sample the tailings and disputes
arise, which are more or less diff
ficult of adjustment. In most
cases mills and smelters are care
fully and honestly run, the owners
being satisfied with the profits
derived from treatment charges.
And their success in'developing a
camp suggests that there are
many districts where custom
works might be put in by the
merchants and other property
owners, aided by the miners
themselves, and run to the ad-
vantage of all concerned. All
acquainted with the mining re-
gions of the west are familiar
with the large benefits gained by
those engaged in merchandising
in prosperous mining town or
district. There are scattered
throughout the west many dis
tricts which today are dull, though
at one time active. The first en-
thusiasm is gone and the districts
have settled down to slow plod-
ding life, and yet, all about are
the elements of great success in
the form of small veins of rich
ore. The claims are owned by
men of little OF no means. They
dislike to leave the district, and
yet there seems little incentive to
remain. If a custom mill or
smelter were built to treat the
ores of the idle mines, within a
year the community would find
that it was enjoying prosperity
again-a real prosperity based on
results and not on hopes. The
mill or smelter should be run in
such manner as to warrant the
confidence Of the mine owners
moderate charges and honest
dealing. This is all the miner
expects, and if he gets it he is
satisfied. Without doubt they
who read the suggestions con-
tanned herein will call to mind at
once several localities where the
plan outlined is not only possible
but where it would prove a great
success. 1t is an important mat
ter familiar to all, but has simply
been neglected. In this connec-
ton the proposition of a company
organized at Globe, Arizona, to
rent hosting machines to small
mines, and supply them with
electric power, is one of interest,
and the same thing might be done
jointly wiah the establishment of
a custom mill or smelter.

Vogue of Liaht Materials.

1t is astonishing how much thin ma
terials, such as voile, crepe, etamine
and others of like description, are
worn by well-dressed women during
the winter nowadays. Naturally this
does not apply to the tailor-made cos
tunes. but last year the most elabo-
rate gowns of these fabrics were to be
seen under the handsome fur coats,
and there is every reason to suppose
that; they will be more in vogue. than
ever. There is a fancy, too-which is
to be noticed in many of the new Paris
costumes and which will be equally
pronounced during the autumn months
for the skirt composed of two
fiounces, each founce being adorned
with from three to five bands of vel
vet in graduated widths. The flounces
are deep. the upper one reaches above
the knee, and this style of decoration
is naturally more adapted to dresses

buyers were attracted to the market
in anticipation of a sharp upturn at
the expense of the short interest.
