1 News From the Mctalincs.

Supplies have been laid in for the
entire winter at the Morning mine at
Metaline, and the property will be
worked continuously in the future as it
has been in the past. The latest reports
from the camp are to the effect that a
splendid strike was recently made in the
new tunnel which is being driven about
$50 feet east of the joint tunnel, which
was run between the Mammoth and
Morning mines. This new tunnel is at
so feet lower elevation. This new strike
is of great Importance to the camp, as it
really settled question of the ore bodies
going down and are quite strong. This
property has now sufficient ore in sight
to warrant the erection of concentrate
ing works, and new company is being
formed to mill both the Mammoth and
Morning ores. The latest report from
the manager is to the effect that the ore
body in this new strike has been pene-
trated several feet and the end is not
yet in sight.
The Oriole Mining Company, of Meta
line, has let contract to crowd work
ahead for the winter. The main tunnel
will be extended to cut the large ledge
which outcrops about 100 feet from the
present face of the tunnel, which is now
in about 400 feet, prosecuting one ledge
that carries high grade ore, consisting of
silver. lead copper and gold. The last
assays gave returns of 1902 per ton all
told. This assay showed values of $115
in silver. This property, which is owned
by Portland and Spokane people, is in a
splendid location, being near to trans
portation and not far from the new con-
centrator now being erected by the
Spokane Lead Mines Company. Many
predict that the Oriole will be the high
est grade mine in the Metaline district

THE BUREAU DRAWER.
A Suggestion Toward Turning Its
Chaos Into Order.

A Suggestion Toward Turning lts
Chaos Into Order.
The bureau drawer, the bane Of every
normal woman's existence, is hard to
manage Inspired by a violent attack
Of neatness on certain night, ordi-
narily after she has come home from
the theater or evening party, she un-
dertakes the difficult task and with SUI
perhuman effort and energy neatly
folds all her neckties in one pile, belts
in another and turnovers in another.
The next morning she arises little
later than is advisable, is not over
sweet tempered, makes dash at her
neat bureau drawer, and in her fren-
zied search for her pet belt or ribbon
all her work Of the night before is In
a state of upheaval. The proper piles
have all become parts of one big
blooming confusion.
The first suggestion as cure for this
unsystematic arrangement Is to have
as few accessories as possible. Get rid
of all the old neckties that are seldom
worn and are simply kept for old times
sake. Then secure collection OF
boxes Of various sizes, each with lit
tie lid that lifts on hinges, and in one
box may be kept all that is needed of
shoestrings, in another handkerchiefs,
in another ties, and so on. When the
owner gets used to this very mex
pensive and thoroughly satisfactory
arrangement, she will look with horror
upon the old days when her top bureau
drawer was in a state of chaos.

Idaho & Washington Northern 10 Spend
100000,


Machine shops, the erection and equip
ment of which will cost 500, 900, will be
built by the Idaho & Washington North
ern Railroad at Spirit Lake, Idaho.
Work on the construction of the shops
will be begun early in the spring and
they will be completed next summer.
The shop buildings will be of brick
and will include six-stall roundhouse.
The machinery will be of the most
effective and advanced types of machine
tools, which will be driven by electric
ity, separate motors to be provided for
each. The electricity will be generated
the company's plant, which will be
erected primarily for the purpose OF
supplying power to operate the planning
mill Of the Panhandle sawmill, now in
course of completion. The electric plant
will also furnish light for the mill and
for the town of Spirit Lake.
The Idaho & Washington Northern
has prepared plans for building a gravity
coal wharf and bunker for coaling its
engines. This facility for the operation
of the railroad WILL be built in the yards
at Spirit Lake, which are now being
graded, and will cost about $4,000.
The company is now working two
steam shovels, two Shay locomotives and
trains of fiat cars and large force OF
men in levelling the yards at Spirit
Lake. In the freight and Panhandle
mill yards will be laid six miles oil

The Western Pine and Fir Co. is en-
gagged in loading out about % cars OF

clean up the holdings of the Western
Company in the local yards for the sea-

The prospects for the reopening of at
least one of the local mills are exceed
ingly bright. 1t is rumored that the
concern will have a full force employed
by the first of February.
There is scarcity of logging teams in
this vicinity. All of the teams used by
local teamsters are busy. Logging con-
tractors from Priest River and from La
Clede were in town on Tuesday looking
for men and teams, but the latter could
not be obtained. The surplus of men
that was so conspicuous couple OF
weeks ago has entirely disappeared and
there is now hardly an idle man in town.
The local camps are all running with
full crews. Quite few logs are being
hauled into Newport by small loggers
unloaded on the right-of-way of the
Idaho & Washington Northern, to be
shipped to the big mill of the Panhandle
Company at Spirit Lake.

ance of the land owned by them in the

has been made into cordwood.
A few poles from neighboring ranches
have been delivered to local buyers-dur-
