SURPRISE TO CLOSE
Another Shipper Cannot Market The
Product Of Ito Mine

While in Wallace the other day
Senator AL Page Of Wardner made
the announcement that the Surprise
mine on which the 1OO-ton concen-
traitor was recently erected will
close down altogether in the near
future. The force Of the mine
was materially decreased lately
owing to the difficulty of finding a
market for the ore and only seven
men in all were left employed in
the workings Of both the mine and
mill. These will be laid off in the
near future and the mine completely
closed.
The company owns five full
claims on Pine creek and already
several cars Of ore have been
blocked out. The showing is ex-
celled by no non.dividend paying
mine in the Occur d'Alenes, In
addition to Mr.. Page, who has
done SO much towards the devel-
opment of this district, the princi-
pal owners Of the property are
Mike St. Clair and William
Mclean.

Work OF BOYS MINISTER
Has Secured PIECES of Good Behavior
From 800 Local Boys

The Rev. DR.. Leonard w. Snyder,
the well-known "boys' minister
has been working for the past
month among the school children Of
the Coeur d'Alene district, encourage
Ing boys and girls to have high
ideals and always striving to "Be
Somebody" To The Miner DR..
Snyder said: MANY boys have con-
fessed to me that they are addicted
to the habit of cigarette smoking and
I have been able to obtain promises
from 800 boys between the ages Of
Z and 16 years to refrain from the
bad habit. This means about so per
cent of the school boys of the Coeur
d'Alenes. One of my notices, given
to thousands of boys and girls, is:
The only one who shall rise above
the average Is that one who always
does a little more than Is expected
With this truth planted in boys or
girls mind they can 60 far to con-
quer and will be able to exercise
self control and self respect to form
the mental principles of useful men
and women.
II would ask parents to take their
children into their confidence, maxi
Ing companions of them and thus
learn their secret faults and In so
doing they will become the stimulus
of a cleaner community and upbuild-
ers of stronger country.
'"The great fault lies not with the
children but with the parents. The
nation depends on our homes and tne
future of the country on our children.
Establishing usefulness, honesty and
purity In our own surroundings, the
children will build on our example
and add in the future towards the
growth and prosperity of the Amer
ican nation"
DR.. Snyder leaves In few days
to spend Christmas In the east
and will return here In the course OF
six weeks.
