ACTIVITY IN BUSINESS
Various Lines Of Industry Resume
With Coming of Spring.
Real Estate Movement is Active

The Jurgens mill will start about
April l on a two months run for the
Fidelity Lumber Co. Jurgens Bros
are making arrangements for the fur
ther operation of the mill after the com.
pletion of the work for the Fidelity.
The work of constructing the free
public ferry has been started, the Fidel-
ity Lumber Company having started
their pile driver on the work of building
the east side pier and approach.
President Willis and B. K. McClintock
OF the Fidelity Lumber Co. were in town
Saturday and visited the mill across the
river to see how the work is progressing
The company has purchased a new
switch engine to be delivered to them
April 1st for use in their yards.
With the coming OF spring and better
conditions for accomplishing good work
the number of men employed on the
grading work of the 1. & w. N. extern
sion ID being increased. About two hun
dred more men have been placed on the
job during the past week. The contracts
call for the completion of the first ten
miles of the road by June 1st and it will
require some active hustling to accomp-
lish this. The railroad company will
lay the track and now has on hand at
Spirit Lake sufficient steel to lay IL
miles.
The big mill of the Panhandle Lumber
Co. at Spirit Lake resumed saving Mon
day. At present only day shift is on
as the lake is not thawed out and con-
siderable difficulty is experienced in
handling logs.
The Craig cement block factory will
start work next Monday, turning out
blocks for the new hotel of Messrs. Craig
and Martin and the Opera House to be
built by W. s. Whitney. Mr.. Craig ex-
poets good business in the building
line this summer and has purchased a
thousand barrels of cement.
From the activity in real estate it is
apparent that Newport will have busy
year. Contractors report that numer-

TO BUILD Cement MILL
MetsGne To Have Big Portland
Cement Industry.
Start Construction Next Month

Dnring the past few months there
have been numerous reports regarding
the acquiring of property in the neigh
h,rhood Of Metaline for the establish
ment Of Il large cement industry All
nnblicatons regarding the matter have
been premature, though not without
came foundation. The following has
been gwen out for publication by Presf-
dent f. A. Blackwell, of the Idaho &
Washington Northern Railroad, who is
identified with the cement proposition,
and is An exclusive story for THE MINER.
The Inland Empire Portland Cement
Co.. capitalized at 81 ,00O. 900, with stock
AL subscribed at par, has been organ
jzel for the purpose of establishing a
rement mill in the vicinity OF Metaline,
located in the Pend Oreille valley, IS
miles north Of Newport. Interested in
the company are number of men con-
nected with the Lehigh Valley Port
land Cement company of Allentown,
pennsylva n ia, VIII ich perates
various plants in the east, with a COM
bined output of $4,000 barrels per day.
The Inland Empire Portland Cement
Co. has purchased from Lewis P. Larson
his mineral holdings near the mouth of
Sullivan creek, a mile and half north
Of Metaline, on the east side OF the Pend
Orielle river. 1t has also acquired his
water rights on Sullivan creek. Unlim-
tied quantities of raw material for the
manufacture OF high grade Portland
cement and lime are found on the prop
erty acquired from Mr.. Larson, and the
company will at once proceed to develop
the industry by the development of
power and the building of mill with
capacity OF 2O0O barrels of cement per
day.
Within the next month, provided that
few remaining details can be closed in
that time, the work of developing water
power on Sullivan creek will he started.
Water rights have also been filed on
Sullivan Lake, which will give the COM
peny the right to raise the lake, increase
its storage capacity and develop more
power. Under head OF 4o5 feet there

tory have been in Newport this week
looking over the ground and preparing
to submit to the council a proposal for
an extension of fifty years of the fran
chise under which the Northern Electric
Co. of this city is now operating. The
proposed ordinance will be submitted
to the city council at its meeting next
Tuesday evening and is published in this
week 8 MINER.
These gentleman state that arrange
ments are now being perfected to i'm
prove the local service and that work
will be started on same within ten days.
They hope to have "a hour light and
power service inaugurated by June 1st.
They estimate that it will require an ex-
penditure of at least eighty-fve thous-
and dollars to complete the improve
ments that they contemplate in Newport
and say that while the present size of
the town and its consumption OF light
and power would not warrant this large
expenditure 1t is their belief that the
town will grow to the point where it will
be warranted and that the power and
light service they expect to install will
be large factor in such growth.
The gentlemen of the council are al
ready familiarlzing themselves with the
features of the proposition and will
doubtless give it their best attention to
the end that the best interests of the
town at present and in the future may
be conserved.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1909-03-11

can be developed on Sullivan creek from
5000 to $4,000 horse power. The cement
mill is to be run by direct water power,
requiring about 1000 horse power, and
the balance of the power available will
be used to generate electricity for the use
OF the company and for commercial pur-
poses.
The construction of the cement mill
will be started as soon as conditions
permit, but the installation of machin-
cry and the operation of the plant must.
of necessity, await the completion of the
extension of the Idaho & Washington
Northern Railroad from lone to Meta
line. The road is now contracted for a
distance of SO miles north from New
port to lone. The contracts call for the
completion of the first ten miles of the
road by June and it is hoped to have
trains running into lone by Nov. l. The
extension of the road from lone to Meta
line will be pushed as fast as practicable.
Preliminary surveys haye been run for
the Metaline extension, and the road
will cross to the east side OF the river
somewhere in the neighborhood of Box
Canyon.
The estimated cost of the cement mill
and the development of the water power
is one million dollars The property has
been thoroughly investigated by experts,
who report the raw material to be Of
practically unlimited quantities and of
the very best quality. The people in
terested in the Inland Empire Portland
Cement Co. are men of experience in the
manufacture of this product, and the
company is fully financed to swing the
big project to success.
That company of this character has
taken up the work OF developing the
cement industry in the Pend Oreille
is an assurance of success, and means a
great deal in the development of this
section. The mill will provide large
tonnage for the new railroad, and will
bring to the Pend Oreille valley all the
benefits incident to the establishment of
a large pay roll industry. The develop
ment of power will aid materially in the
development Of the Metaline mining
district and the commercial interests of
territory tributary.

CULLEN TO OPEN
WILD BILL MINE
Owner viii Work Property
Which Yielded Fortune
From Surface.

The famous Wild Bill property, ten
miles northwest of Milford, is to be
opened up by Matt Cullen, who has
owned it since some time in the COS. A
force of men is at work preparing for the
plant, it being the intention to go after
the large bodies of rich ore which are
believed to lie at depth.
The Wild Bill is one OF the Beaver cOun-
~ properties whose production OF sur
face ores in the early days provided the
basis for Mr.. Cullens fortune. It is
generally agreed that it has one of thu
best surface shoWings in the North star
district, the feature of which is dig
blowout, with Outcroppings for the width
of more than 100 feet.
The principal working in the mine IS
an inclined shaft, which has been sunk
200 feet on the vein. From this a large
tonnage of high-grade ore has been TAX
en, the values running as high as 20 per
cent lead. with 20 and 30 ounces Of silver
to the ton. Considerable good ore is in
sight in the old workings, and the plan
is now to sink a vertical shaft into the
permanent formation, where it Is believed
large bodies of ore viii be opened.
Mr.. Cullen's experience in reopening his
old Moscow mine, which has developed
into d heavy shipper. has given him re-
nCwed faith i'm his Beaver county proper
ties. 1t has taught him that the rich sur
face ore taken from those properties in
the early days was only an indication of
the wealth which lies below. As re-
suit of that experience, ne has recently
started an active campaign of develop
ment in the old Rebel mine, and there is
no. a doubt that both il and the Wild
Bill viii soon be added to the list Of his
paying producers.

TARIFF HELPS
GOOD SPRINGS
Zinc Mines of That Camp
Have Greater Profits in
Sight.

The advance Of 1 cent pound of the
tariff on zinc contained in ores. made by
the new tariff law. should operate to in
crease not a little the production Of zinc
mines of Good Springs district. according
to II. Hardy. former sheriff of Salt Lake
county. who is now operating at Good
Springs. The Monte CristO mine, of that
camp. is shipping regularly to a Kansas
smelter ore which carries 80 per cent zinc
On that class Of material the natural eff
feet Of the tariff would be to add SO
ton to the value Of the Ore-a handsome
profit of itself The greater profit Will
come in. however, in permitting the ship
ping Of a lower grade Of ore, which viii
make for greater economy of mining and
handling il
Another innovation which may prove
of inestimable value to the Good Springs
district is the eleCtrOstauc process OF
separating the zinc from other metals in
the ore. If that process proves to be the
zinc mines Of Good Springs to be worked
upon an extensive scale, for virtually eY-
erything taken from the mines viii be
handled at q profit
In addition to its copper and lead-sl-Eer
mines Good Springs has some OF the
greatest zinc mines and prospects in the
western country. While. on account of
the long distance from reduction works,
there has been slight announcement 10
Open the zinc mines, several have been
developed to a considerable extent The
Yellow Pine mine, it is said, has fully
100000 of zinc ore blocked out. Others
have varying lesser amounts in sight,
with prospects which would make them
very attractive propositions if the ores
could be concentrated successfully in the
camp.
W. A. Clark has had an expert in the
district recently, Mr.. Hardy says, exam
lining the mines to get a line upon the
tonnage of ore which would be available
for the proposed new smelter to be built
at Las Vegas or Phoebe.

ORE LOW GRADE
BUT LOTS OF IT
Iron Blossom September DiVi-
dend Is Offered at Five
Cents.

While sentiment in regard to Iron Bios
SONS future dividend performance has
not been buIlish recently, the stock is
holding reasonably strong on the market.
Offers to take cents a share for the
September dividend have been made by
owners of the stock.
That the workings on the extension of
the Colorado-Sioux vein have for some
time been in ore of lower grade than that
which was being mined when tho Scent
dividend rate was esta blished is admit
ted by the management. Yet IL is known
that the ore in that vein is irregular in
its showing of values and its history has
been that the lean zone has always been
succeeded 10y one Of higher grade.
A well known mining man who is crit
zeal and C1ld-DiGGdCQ in his Judgment of
mine sh0wings was admitted 10 the Iron
Blossom workings few days ago. His
report is that while the ore in the south
end Of the north workings is low grade,
there is a great quantity of it, and that.
with the improved showing i'm it's No. 8
workings Iron Blossom is being rapidly
consequence. And he bought Iron Bios
som stock.
The consensus of opinion among mining
men appears to be that while Iron Bios
some viii not be able to maintain a reg
ular monthly dividend in excess of from
5 cents to > cents & share, it has an ore
showing which makes its stock relatively
cheap at the present market price-with
always the possibility, in its great extent
of territory, of opening something which
will make the profits come more easily.

Mines and Mining Stocks
UNITED STATES
AFTER BIG MINE
Its Experts Examine St. Law
renee Lead Property Near
0SCeOIa.

That the United States Smelling, Refin-
ing & Mining company is figuring upon
taking over the property of the ST. Law
renee Mining company, at ShOshOne,
twelve miles south of Oscecla, New, the
Engineer J. Fewson Smith are now exam
lining the mine is sufficient evidence
Ehey were accompanied on the trip from
lily to the mine, the middle OF the Week
by Frank c. Williams, general manager
of the St. Lawrence company
Word has been coming for some time
that the st. Lawrence company IS open
ing one of the big lead mines of the coun-
try in its property, which Is near the
summit of Mount Washington, at the ele-
walton of 10000 feet. Large bodies OF
hiEh-grade lead ore have been opened IN
a lime formation similar to that OF Tin
tic Occasionally bOulders of almost pure
lead, weighing 200 pounds and more. have
been taken from the workings, IL IS said.
The work accomplished is represented
by more than 1900 feet of shafts, tun-
nels and drifts, and in performing the de-
velOpment work large tonnage OF ore
has been taken out. With transportation
facilities at hand, much of the ore would
be of shipping grade, and il is not unlike
iv that the United States people have
Tine upon the building Of the new Cold
fleld-Ely-Salt Lake railroad, which con
vinccs them that transportation facilities
viii soon be provided In the event OF the
building of that line the St. Lawrence
ores could be handled nicely at the United
States company's Bingham Junction smell
ter, providing TOO. just the kind Of ore
of which there is no danger Of getting an
0Ver-supply.
The St. Lawrence company is controlled
by Rochester On. " capitalists.

WEST is INDEPENDENT.
Needs Only Facilities to Care for
Prosperity.

Boston. Aug. IA leading official of
one of New Englands largest industrial
enterprises. who has just returned from
an extended trip through the west and
Pacific coast, says; Western prosperity
is no longer something to conjecture; it
is here The financial strength and in
dependence Of the west are simply am9Z-
ing. Nine out of every ten farmers are
depOsitors and not borrowers at the
banks A few years ago the reverse was
true.
The profits which the west will reap
this year from its crops seem fabulous.
For instance 1 heard of one farmer with
a 20000-acre farm in one of the DakOtas.
who will this year raise $4,000 worth of
wheat His profit, above all expenses,
will be not less than S150000. Even
poorly equipped farm can make 20 per
cent of net profits, and well equipped
farms make as high as s. per cent net.
THE two states of oregon and Wash
ngtOn are the future lumber region of
the United States They, with British
Columbia and Mexico, are our big future
source of lumber.
LAS see the situation, the problem of
the west is not how to get prosperity,
but how to provide physical facilities for
taking care of the prosperity already as
sured. Inside of another two years the
west will be demanding more railroads,
and already on the Pacific coast the be
ginnings of a big railroad development
may be seen. The opening up of Alaska
through Guggenheim railroad building is
having an immensely stimulating effect
upon the entire coast

which is already down eight feet. He
expects to cut the first fissure at the
6eDth Of from 800 to $50 feet On the
north end of the company's group of nine
claims is vein Of nOrthwesterly and
southwesterly trend, he says, in which it
is the intention to drift upon the first
north and south fissure encountered. He
has no doubt of opening good mine.

CANNON BALL MILL
READY TO GRIND ORE

That the new mill of the Cannonban
Consolidated Mining company. at its
mine in Little Smoky valley, Idaho, will
surely be in operation by Sept I is the
word brought from camp by John Ed
wards, son of Manager George z. Ed
wards, who came to the city to be ready
for the opening Of school. The starting
of the mill has been delayed from time
to time by reason of various supplies and
parts of machinery having gone astTay
en- route, but Manager Edwards is cOnfi-
dent now that he has everything needed
for operating the plant
The mine continues to open up most
satisfactorily. The tunnel has been eX-
tended to the 650-foot point, all in ore,
and two raises. in addition to the one in
which the shoot of high grade ore was
encountered, are being driven. The ore
showing in all of the raises exceeds
original expectations, so that in the mind
of the management absence of doubt as
to the cOmpany's having paying propO-
sitiOn has been succeeded by absolute
certainty.

Something distinctly new in the form
of a six-inch streak of ore which gives

in silver end SIG in gold, has been en-
cOuntered in the bottom of the Wine
from the 100-foot level of the Phoebe Met

reached a vertical depth close to fifty
feet from the 100 level after having fol-
lowed a bed of 80 degrees dip into what
is believed to be the fissure, which has
dip of about 10 degrees.
In the Wine has been continuously

Iron Blossom was yesterday in fairly
good demand at S1-2115. the buying hav-

tive at $40 to S2.321z and Carisa went
from Sic to S2c. Utah Consolidated, with
the assessment paid. brought 1112c.
The market on the whole gave some
signs Of new strength, although the buy
