THE MINERAL BELT

Two years, or even a year ago,
what was the local estimation Of
the Nine Mile and Pine Creek dis
districts ? Candidly we do not be-
lieve they ranked very high. There
was still general disposition to class
both as being beyond the zone of
paying mines if not entirely outside
the mineral belt. How do they
stand in public opinion today ?
With equal candor we can assert
that there is scarcely any section Of
the camp which is more hopefully
regarded or more confidently ex-
pected to disclose, with adequate
development work, 50 many pro-
ducing and dividend paying prop
critics.
Nine Mile now contains one reg
ular dividend payer-the Success.
Another producer is just about to
enter the same class-the Pittsburg.
The Tamarack, Rex, Idora and
Callahan will all be considerable
shippers this year and there is
widespread belief they will not be
the only ones. The Custer and the
Interstate are considered to have
reached point in their development
where their future is assured, while
the Monarch, Alameda, Idaho Los
Angeles, American, Puritan, Sho-
shone, Cuba, Nine Mile and several
others are expected to develop ore
bodies that will enable them to take
rank shortly as producers.
No property in the Pine Creek dis
trict has vet reached the dividend
paying stage and hardly one Of them

the producers, unless we include the

BOOSTER CLUB NEEDED

On Friday last we bought copies
of the Sunday New York Herald
and Chicago Tribune, recognized
generally as the best advertising
media in the United States. The
former contained two and n hall
pages of mining advertisements and
the latter four columns. In neither
was there the advertisement of q
single broker, promoter or mining
company operating in the Occur
d'Alenes.
In the long lists Of stocks offered
for sale by some Of the brokers only
two Occur d'Alene companies were
mentioned: East Snow Storm and
Occur d'Alene Eagle. These COM
panies are managed by the c. E.
Mitchell company Of Spokane, who
maintain several offices in the east,
and this accounts for their inclu-
sion in the lists Of the popular Ne
vada, Colorado, Arizona, Califor-
MIA, North Dakota, Michigan, Ca
madam and Alaskan stocks.
In the news sections and supple
ments of both papers were several
articles relating to mining but in no
instance was Idaho even mentioned.
There were veritable fairy tales Of
Alaska, Colorado, Nevada and Ca
madam mining camps and even
those of Australia and South Africa,
but not So much as one word was
said about the Occur d'Alenes.
Under such circumstances is it
any wonder that when our brokers
or promoters 90 east on mining bus
mess they encounter the most pro-
found ignorance concerning this
country. The real wonder is that
with 80 much missionary work to do
they should succeed in interesting
anybody at all in the face Of such
lively competition from other better
known but less favored mining dis
trict. X

We would like to know as a mat
ter Of curiosity just how much mon
ey the Rocky Mountein Bell Tele-
phone company lost last week, dur
ing the best OF weather, by having its
line in trouble" between Spokane
and Wallace. The operating ex-
penses were just as great as if the
line had been up but the revenue
was necessarily nil. The lack Of
telephone facilities for so long un-
doubleday prevented many a stock
sale and thus caused loss to many
individuals, but a trifle like that
cannot be expected to affect a COM
pany which does not mind losing
money itself.

SUBMARINE is A WONDER.
American Boat Can Dive In a Mo-
ment's Time.

Newport, R. I-All American rec
ords for quick diving by a submarine
boat we're broken recently when the
submarine Octopus went through a
series of extraordinary tests in Cod
dington cove. Weather conditions
were not favorable.
The principal test was to determine
whether the Octopus, while afioat,
would be able to get submerged quick
ly if an enemy should be sighted. Run
ming at full speed on the surface, pro-
PEELED by gasoline engines, the Octo-
pus received a signal from members
of the trial board on board the ten
der Nina Immediately the engines
we're stopped and power was furnish
ed by storage batteries. Diving rud-
ders were adjusted, the submarine
took 81 tons of water into her tanks
and sank to a depth of 20 feet. This
was accomplished in four and one-half
minutes. A second test reduced the
time by about half a minute.
The next test was to gain informa-
ton as to the ability of the boat to
make a complete turn within a given
area. A test was also made to deter
mine the ability Of the Octopus to
come to a full stop while running at
full speed under water.
When coming to the surface from
one of her dives the Octopus sighted
in the lifting fog a tug and tow of
barges. The submarine Immediately
dived and escaped the danger of a
collision. At another time when the
Octopus was running awash at a speed
of 10 knots she dived and was COM
pletely submerged in 23 seconds.

The food tide of immigration to

source in the Scandinavian and Ger

WILL USE THE BOYCOTT.
San Francisco Unions Fight streetcar
Company.

San Francisco. May 14.-There is
very little change in the strike situa-
ton in this city. Despite the fact that
so cars were operated today on two
lines of the United railroads without
disturbance or molestation, and $4,000
people, according to the figures OF the
company, availed themselves of this
partial service. President Calhoun to-
night was apparently far from opti-
mistic over the situation. He frankly
admitted that the carmen had them
guessing" as to their next move and
expressed himself as puzzled by the
apparent peace and reports received
by him which indicated serious trouble
later. The sudden change from the
fierce rioting the first part of the week
created the Idea that some unexpected
movement was being contemplated.
That the United railroads is still far
short or the required number Of men
to operate its system is evident from
the fact that the company is advertis-
Ing In 20 different cities for conductors
and motormen. It is understood that
there are now between 500 and GOO
strikebrakers In the city, and 200
more are expected to arrive in a day
or two.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Governor Gillett when he an
nounced through the Associated Press
that he would judge the San Francis
co situation by the acts of the PEG
pie and would not hesitate a moment
to call out the militia II rioting should
be continued, had SOLDERING effect on
