ests throughout the country, yet the
efforts Of Golfers weekly and the
Saturday Evening Post to discourage
mining investments would have
exactly that result il they were sue
cessful. The three main sources OF
the nations wealth come out OF the
ground crops, lumber and min
erals. Work and fair weather will
always produce crops. Labor and
a little capital are about all that is
needed to produce lumber. 1t takes
lots OF money, time and labor to
produce the minerals but they are
just as necessary to civilization as
food or lumber.

LEGAL NOTICES

The way legal notices are being
run in local papers is a fright and
is bound to land some Of the min.
ing companies in trouble sooner or
later with shareholders whose stock
they have sold as delinquent when
it was never advertised legally.
Some Of these notices appear in one
issue and not in the next though
the affidavit Of publication required
Of the publisher should state that
they have appeared in every issue
during their life. Then again some
Of them like the Hypotheek COM
pany's in last weeks Press, fail to
mention the name Of the company
at all and consequently are no
notice to anybody. Others like
that Of the East Buffalo fail to state
when the sale Of delinquent stock
Is to be held. Others like those Of

PREPARE FOR WINTER

The mines which intend to con
tlnue work throughout the winter
must soon begin to make prepare
tons. Those situated at very high
attitudes or whose only present
means Of access involves crossing
some high divide should be doing
so already. Several companies
which in the interest Of their share
holders should have been working
all last season were idle for many
months by reason Of their failure to
put in an adequate stock Of food
and mining supplies in the fall. 1t
is to be hoped that it will not be
the case this year as the winter
season will surely see great revival
in the stock market and idle prop
critics will be in poor shape to take
advantage OF it.
If money is short levy small
assessment now, purchase the need
cd supplies and get them to the
mine then put a couple Of men to
work and the force can be increased
when more money is available.
just because treasury stock can
not be sold now for an adequate
figure is the poorest kind Of excuse
for total suspension Of work where
the property has real merit.

THE HUNTER STRIKE

1t would be almost impossible t
exaggerate the Importance Of thu
Hunter strike. 1t has lifted tha

paying basis until a few months ago
into the first rank Of the district 4

ments- and dividends.
The Hunters history is good
example Of the need of patience and
persistence in mining. 1t is no new
property. For years it has been
under development and not until
quite recently, though long equipped
with tramway, compressor, conccn-
traitor and everything necessary to
econmical operation and production
and despite the fact that it was very
extensively developed to a depth Of
500 feet it was unable to show a
balance on the right side Of the
ledger.
Many well known mining men
believed il never could he made to
pay and it is notorious that it was
offered for sale not 80 long ago for
only $500. 900 to be superciliously
turned down by all of them. 1t is
not likely that cash offer of 3d.
OOO,O0O would secure it today.

! The spectacle Of a rich corpora
ton trying through, the law courts
to dispossess a couple Of poor men
OF their property at price IL be To
all intents and purposes fixed by
itself, as the Pittsburg Lead
Mining company is now obviously
attempting to do to Pat Brady and
VIM. Goggin, its minority partners
in the Panhan die mine, is not a
novel one but is none the less regret
able on that account. It is a
typical case Of that grcedincss and
disregard Of the ethical rights OF
others that have brought corpora
tons in general into such deservedly
i'll rcpute.
The most serious effect on the
Occur d'Alenes Of the temporary
decline in the prices Of lead and
copper will probably be to postpone
the payments Of increased divid-
ends by such companies as the
Bunker Hill, Snow Storm and
others which are understood to have
that intention. The Hercules may
also experience difficulty in main
tanning its old rate of Disturbing
profits, provided the monthly divid-
ends Of late have been ar large as
they were estimated to be by the
public.
While the prices OF most metals,
including lead and copper, have de-
clined somewhat Of late and are
likely to 60 still lower there is abso-
lutely no danger of their reaching
such a level as to close down or even
materially handicap a single mine
in the Occur d'Alenes. The grade
OF ore we produce is too high to per-
NIT OF that. In this respect we are
fortunate but we can sympathize
with other camps not 80 comfort
ably situated.
What are you doing to advertise
the Occur d'Alencs? Don't you
think it would pay you to expend
few dollars in that direction?
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-09-12

The Miner fears that Wallace
business men are 80 Indifferent to
the common good that it is prac-
tically hopeless to expect them to
get together to do any systematic
advertising Of the district seeing
that they will not avail themselves
of even such a cheap method OF
placing the basic facts regarding
the Occur d 'Alenes before at least
their correspondents as is invol-
we'd in getting the Miners table Of
Facts about the Coerr d'Alenes"
printed on the backs Of their enve-
lopes or on slips to be enclosed with
their letters. During the two weeks
that the Miner has advertised this
proposition it has had orders from
Wallace brokers and promoters for
only 500 envelopes 80 backed and
for the backing Of 1000 more al
ready printed. Outsiders have
shown far more enterprise, one
order for backed envelopes having
been received from Murray and one
for 10000 slips from the G. 4.
Mitchell company Of Spokane.

SPRINGFIELD LETS CONTRACT
Lower Crosseut Tunnsl About 100 Feet
From Vein

At a meeting Of the directors o.
the Springfield company held on
Monday it was made plain that
work was not to be allowed tn cease
this winter, rails, air pipe and all
kinds Of mine supplies and provi-
sions having been ordered in
sufficient quantity to insure con.
tinuous operation. A contract for
another 100 feet Of tunnel work was
let. Az the tunnel is now in 1880
feet it is confidently expected the
vein will be encountered during the
life Of the present contract.
The Springfield company owns
ten claims on Stevens peak and its
property is considered one of the
most promising in that section rs
the upper tunnel developed from
two to three feet Of high grade
chalcopyritc ore. Walter Graham
is president, O. f. Anderson Of
Burke vice president, Emil Zeit-
fuchs secretary and treasurer, and
A. II. Fcatherstone and Frank p.
Hess directors.

the Nine Mile and Montana Idaho
Mines Development company give
differing dates Of delinquency. The
latter, which is published in the
Wardner News, calls the assessment
delinquent one week after it is
levied.
Such gross errors as these can
best be avoided by giving your legal
notices to the Miner to publish.
We guarantee correct and legal
publication every time.

RE|MDEER's OUTLOOK BR|eHT
w. H. Herrick Greatly Pleased With Ore
Showing 3. w ork Resumed

Showtngs-. York Resumed
Vice President Herrick OF the
Reindeer company paid his first
official visit to that property on Sun
day and is now more than ever an
enthusiastic believer in its future.
Work on the buildings is now
under way said he, and as soon
as they are habitable work on the
2,8OO-foot crosscut tunnel will be-
gin. The compressor plant will be
moved down to the lower tunnel
site, new dam, flume and penstock
constructed and a pipe line run
from it to the compressor house as
quickly as possible. The pipe line
will be constructed Of seven and
five-inch rivetted pipe and will be
about 500 feet long. The rest of the
old pipe line will be utilized as air
pipe in the tunnel there being 200
feet of 3-inch pipe which will not be
required for the new water power.
This plant will develop Is horse
power at the lowest stage Of water
and by spending a small sum Of
money on the dams and headgates
at the lakes in which the creek
heads we can greatly increase the
flow during the dry season.
The ore showings in the present
lower workings greatly surprised me.
The tunnel shows a foot of good
chalcopyritc ore and in the bottom
Of the 4O-foot winze it has widened
10 two feet. The ledge itself is from
two to 30 feet wide and all well
mineralized. 1t has been drifted on /

necessary to its operation except
God including about 100 boxes of
dynamite.

| II the legal method adopted by
the Pittsburg company to acquire
at its own price from two poor
prospectors the eighth interest it
does not yet own in the Panhandle
group looks unfair to people who
believe in q square deal, what is
to be thought OF Harry l.. Days
plan Of bulldozing Tom Laughlin
into foregoing what he believes to
be his rights to property also
claimed by the Bryan. Mr.. Days
action is just what might he ex-
pected from a bully in a fit Of
childish rage and is a distinctly
surprising exhibition Of bad judy
ment and temper from a man Of
his standing in the community. Per-
haps there is yellow streak in him
as well as in his paper, the Times.
If Golfers Weekly and the Sat-
urday Evening Post would only
make it clear that it is fraudulent
mining promotions they are trying
to stop We should have no quarrel
with them. Such promotions do
the mineral industry the greatest
possible harm and every legitimate
miner would like to zee an end to
them. So far as Idaho is concerned
its wildcat law and the postal laws
of the United States furnish ample
machinery for the suppression Of
very fraud and the punishment Of
very swindlcr who uses the min
ng industry as cloak for his oper-
ltions.
