The Panhandle smelter Is located
at Ponderay. Idaho ON the north
shore Of Lake Pend d'Orelle---6S
miles east Of Spokane.
The Panhandle Smelter has there
fore track connections with three
transcontinental lines of railway.
These railways traverse the great
mining districts Of Montana, Idaho,
Washington and British Columbia.
In addition to railway Transports
ton. the Panhandle plant has the en-
tire Pend d'Oreille district to draw
from by water transportation.
The Occur d'Alene Region.
The famous Occur d'Alene district
(the greatest silver-lead region OF the
world is within 100 miles by rail
from the Panhandle smelter. There
Is no other smelter within 400 miles.
The Occur d'Alene region alone pro-
duced over $24.000.0O0 worth of ores
during the past year. and the output
is rapidly increasing. There are hum
dreds Of excellent mining prospects
now under active development, many
Of which will enter the shipping list
this year.
The smelter will be supplied with
coke from Fernie, B. c., via the Spo-
kane International railway. The
smelter company owns over 900 acres
of excellent limestone on the shore
of the lake. There are unlimited
quantities Of lime and iron for fuxes
tributary to the plant.

Just after the Miner went to press
last week news Of strike In the PAN
handle on Nine Mile creek reached
us. This property is controlled by
the Pittsburg company which owns
and is operating the old California
Black Cloud mine and mill, but a
minor interest Is held by Paddy
Brady and others. The Pittsburg
company made them an offer for their
interest which they considered mad
equate and to prove the worth of the
property they started a shaft to try
and open up some ore. This they
succeeded In doing with only a few
feet of work. They now have three
feet of fine carbonates and galena

While in Cleveland, Ohio, he
succeeded in interesting number
of prominent business men in the

Monitor mine. During his absence
q force Of men was put to work

be opened as quickly as possible BY
means Of a 2OQ-fo crosscnt tunnel.
Ample funds have been provided to
thoroughly prove the property.
Mr.. Gross while retaining his
office in Wallace will, will move his
family to the Temple mine in q few
days as he desires to give his per-
'onal attention to the development
II that property for some time and
he will visit the Buffalo within the
1ext week or so for the purpose of
definitely deciding the plan OF de-
7elopment.
The East Buffalo shows a con-
inuous cropping for l 900 feet, the
edge being strong and wide and

The receipt Of q big chunk Of fine
ore from the Bullion on Tuesday
caused report to be circulated Of .
big strike in that mine. President
VIM. Squance went out to the mine
yesterday to investigate and brings
back the following report:
The slab Of ore came from the
roof Of the east drift and exposed
the finest body Of chalcopyrite we
have yet had in the mine. The
whole mass is so solid that it looks
like a.brass plate. The west drift has
been pushed ahead some IA or 10
feet in the past few days and shows
q marked improvement in the grade
OF the ore. It will'require about 15l
feet more Of work to connect the
upraise from the No. 2 tunnel with
the shaft"
Manager James HI. Taylor went
out to the mine today.

TO REMODEL
GRAND STAND

The grandstand at Recreation
park will be entirely remodeled as
soon as the Tacoma series is over,
according to an announcement
made this morning by Manager Ed
die Quinn. Yesterday The Press
called attention to the lack of pre-
cautions for the care of the crowd
in case of fire There Is but one ex'
it now and in case of fire hundreds
would perish in the rush to get out
with their lives.
Manager Quinn contemplates at
least more exits. These will be
built in such a manner as to drain
the grandstand and bleachers in a
few minutes.
Besides the building of exits, fire
extinguishers will be placed about
the grandstand and bleachers, con-
venient for use.
Until every precaution has been
taken, however, smoking should be
prohibited in the stand, and watch
men stationed to guard against any
possibility of fire.

Tacoma and Spokane meet at
Recreation park this afternoon for
the third game of the series. Erick-
son, the long, timber pitcher from
the Northland, will be on the rapid
fire line for the Indians. This will
be Erickson's first appearance
here. He is moose for size and
has all kinds of speed and endur-
ance He is of stolid nature and
looks as though he would go right
on pitching about the same sort of
ball even without support. The line
up will be the same as in the
previous games.
For Tacoma, Chahin, the Califor-
MIA boy, will do the twirling. He is
said to be the real calico. too. He's
young and ambitious and on &C
count of his good looks makes a
hit with the ladies. Tacoma's line
up will be the same as Sunday.
Ralph Dodd will umpire.

Owing to the fact that there is
a hot fight on in the Fourth and
Fifth wards. no advisory ballots
were issued for use there, as dem

their hands full selecting the proper

second term. Opposed to Burch are
Jay Daniel. James Maxwell, e. A.
Cocney and Frank Ledwith. 1t is
a toss up between Burch and Led

but the machine offers Burch its
support on account of his record

The Daggett forces have sent
out advisory ballots on which are
printed the names Of the candidates
in each i,ard who will be accept
able to the present administration,
SHOULD republican councilmen over
come democrats. The city hail
force this morning made quick
poll of precinct lieutenants and de-
cided to spare 1,500 votes to Moore
in an effort to defeat Doust and
leave Moore to oppose Daggett. 1t
is hoped by this means to avoid Il
fight with the republican machine
and divide the republican vote if
possible. With the added votes Of
those controlled by the city hail
machine. Moore's nomination seems
assured. The democrats have pri-
mary strength to spare, they figure.
Another element behind this
move is a belief that If Doust is
nominated the court house machine
will put the screws on to assure
his election. 1t is not figured that
the same force will be eXerted so
potently on behalf of Mr.. Moore,
who is not the choice of the repub-
lican machine.
