SOMETHING UP
IN LEAD CIRCLES
J. E. Bamberger and Others Jumping
Into Occur dAlenes.
ECCLES TO BE PROMOTED
OTHER CHANGES IN SMELLING
TRUST EXPECTED.

J. L. Bamberger, president Of the
Daly-West company, and D. NJ. Hy-
man. well known mining operator
and lawyer of New York pulled out for
Idaho last night, their reported desti-
nation being the Occur d'Alene couu-
try. While not a syllable has been
dropped from Mr.. Bamberger regard
ing his pilgrimage with Mr. Hynan,
Incidents have been noted that make
II look reasonably sure that deal of
some character is on.
No sooner had Edgar L. Newhouse
Of the American Smelling company
reached the city Friday afternoon than
q conference. in which MessrS. Bam-
berger, Newhouse and G. w. Whitley
participated, was held. Then Mr.. sHy-
man appeared on the scene and ar
fixed up at once A question as to
whether 1Ir. Newhouse was going
Forth with Messrs. Bamberger and
Lyman brought forth a reply from one
who ought 10 have known to the effect
that Mr.. NewhOuse would not go on
the same train with the others. This
left the impression that he would like
ily land IN the country where his COM
pany is already so largely interested
rot long after the others had reached
there.
These incidents following on the
heels Of the announcement that the
Guggeuheim and American smelling
interests are~on the point of being more
closely cemented than ever and the
fact that a combination OF practic 49,
sli Of the lead smelling interests of -.
country are being combined, suggests
the poss1 biiity that the operators men,
toned are going into the Occur
dAlenes for. the purpose of gathering
In something for the big combine. 1T
any rate, no one will charge either Mr..
Bamberger or the others with going
into that country at this time of the
year merely for pleasure News of i'm
portance may therefore be expected to
result from their pilgrimage.
Another story that will have partic-
ular local interest was sprung during
the day by a man who has been keep
ing in close touch with American
Smelling and Guggenheim affairs. 1t
IS to the effect that s. W. Eccles. the
American company's traffic manager,
IS likely 20 be advanced to a much
more important position than that
which he now holds in the very near
future. II Is claimed that he has been
slated for the vice presidency of the
great combination. Since he quit rail-
reading in the sense that railroad men
understand the designation. his value
TO the great mining and smelling con-
Germ with which he is now identified
has been carefully noted by the mag
mates behind It and the belief is that
il has been determined to place him
where his sphere of usefulness will be
infinitely greater and where his recOg-
nized talents can be brought into
greater play.
The claim is also made that Edgar
/. NeNNhouse holds a strong posi-
tion in the estimation of the control
ling factors I'm the Americana uggen-
helm combination and that he, too, is
likely to climb to a position much
nearer the throne. In fact. there is a
well grounded impression that a num-
Der of important announcements are
likely 10 come from the combine within
the next ninety days.
