These images are from time to time
borne with great pomp and solemnity
about the country and are supposed
to confer especial blessings upon any
household whose portals they may
enter.
We found the maids and servants
already busily preparing the spacious
hall for the reception OF the image.
A table covered with q spotless linen

opened from the wide porch or ter
race Upon 1t stood two high silver
candlesticks and q silver basin for
holy water, while all the furniture had
been removed from the hall In order
to make space for the image and its
accompanying throng.
From the terrace we could see, in
the far distance, q dark. waving line
making its way along beneath the
green fields and low stone fences. AS
they drew nearer sound, as Of the
droning of a gigantic beehive, was
distinctly audible. Now half dozen
priests, In their cloth-of-gold vest
ments, entered the gate, followed by
a score or more of lusty peasants who
were bearing aioft. supported upon two
long horizontal poles, the image. This
was very ancient life-sized painting
OF the virgin and Holy Child. but as
they 30 carried it it was concealed
from the vulgar gaze by curtain Of
dark red silk.

through the open doors into the hall.

now in place, just back of the hastily

After the usual prayer of the Rus

closed, throwing $50 men out of

Idaho no longer can be called a
doubtful nor even a small propo-
sition. 1t is one of the success
es OF the year in mining. The
property has opened up into one
of the really spectacular mines
of this section of the country, and
we now see how foolish we we're
that we did not pick up more of
the stock when it was selling
here on the Salt Lake curb at
practically nothing per share"
This was the manner in which
Senator Macbeth, the well known
Idaho mining man and Demo
cratic member of the State Sen
ate. who arrived in this city re-
Gently on business connected
with his various mining enter
prises. expressed himself. The
Senator has always been friend
of the Lost Packer property, but
even he could not forsee the
splendid manner in which this
mine IS now rewarding its Salt
Lake shareholders. Not only
has the property opened up into
a big mine. but the smelling
plant is running like charm,
and is making money very rapid
" for its owners.
/ On Friday the company ship
ped a carload of matte to the
Eastern market. and another
carload was scheduled to leave
the shipping point yesterday.
This will bring a splendid sum
of money to the treasury, and on
the floors of the smelter there
are 215 additional tons of matte
awaiting shipment yet this sea
son. This matte will average
close to 500 per ton, so the sue
cessful operation of the smelter
this first season has been pro-
ductive Of returns more than
equal to all expectations. 1t IS
/ more than likely that the com
lpany viii install a converter
equipment before the next sea
sons run, thus producing a pro-
duct worth fully $1,000 a ton in
stead of $500.
Bringing out this matte, and
taking in fuel. the company uses
ia great many outfits, in all there
being over $50 head of horses
lemployed in the work. Senator
Macbeth states that the proper
erty and vicinity presents a most
active and encouraging aspect.
When asked regarding the mine
Developments, he stated that the
property at the present depths
had opened out wonderfully.
I Above. the company measured
their ore chutes by the inch, out
as depth was gained upon them,
I they spread out into feet, thus
establishing the greater rich
/ ness to say nothing of the con-
tinuity of the resources with
depth.
In one face in the lower work
ings. he states, there are six
/ feet solid of chalcopyrite ore
which carries in addition to the
Isplendid red metal values as
much as 80 ounces gold to the
ton. Broken down in the mlne
and awaiting the muckers are
fully 1000 tous of ore that will
average somewhere between $50
and $50 to the ton. Within the
mine, actually in sight, there
are not less than $4,000 tons of
similar grade of rock, and with
every indication pointing to the
conclusion that with even more
depth the management will find
a decided Improvement in the
ore bodies in every way. So
thoroughly, therefore, has the
Lost Packer management assem-
! lbled its resources that none see
the mine without expressing
themselves most enthusiastically
over the same, and the property
can no longer be called a small
