tunnel started some time ago is
now in over 100 feet. For some
time past the rock has been ex-
tremely hard but is now a little
softer and good progress is being
made. This will be the main
working tunnel of the mine in
future. The property is one Of
the best gold propositions on the
north side and is owned by L. L.
Prayer Of Spokane and John
Docktor and Frank Frohling OF
Murray.
DIAMOND JOE-The wagon
road to the mine has been COM
pleted and it is now the inten-
| ton to take in a large amount OF
supplies and to commence the
driving Of a 400-foot crosscut
tunnel to give a depth Of $50
feet. The claims are traversed
by a 40-foot ledge which has been
traced for a distance of 1000 feet
and from which some fine look
ing ore has been taken. The
property is located near the Am
azon- Manhattan mine and is be-
ing developed under the manage
ment of William Shannon.
BLANCHE - Development is
progressing steadily. Supplies
were taken to the mine last week
and the property visited by a
number of those interested. The
mine is located on Pine Creek.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the installation OF a
four-drill compressor and as soon
as this has been installed it is
the intention to drive a 1900 foot
crosscut to develop at depth the
ore exposed in the upper work.

WHITMAN-A number of
those interested paid a visit to
the property last week. 1t is the
intention to drive a 500-foot tun-
mel as soon as the necessary
equipment can be secured. The
property adjoins the Douglas
mine on Pine Creek.
BELMONT-The option which
was given some time ago to Spo-
kane people on the treasury stock

constant development to COM
mence not later than June l. 1t
is stated that arrangements are
being made by which another
bond on the property will be
taken.
NORTH FORK G. & C.-De-
velopment is being steadily push
ed and a splendid showing has
been made. A number of peo-
pie interested in the mine in
spected the property toward the
end Of last week and expressed
themselves as more than salts
fed with the manner in which
the mine is opening up. The
c.--.ims are located about 13 miles
above Enaville.

BONANZA M OUNTA1N-|
Bids are being received for a
200 foot extension of the tunnel.
The mine is under development
at the present and is operated by
the Amalgamated Stockholding
company Of this city. The prop.
erty is on the Montana side. Of
the Idaho Montana divide.
HYPOTHEEK-The crosscut
to the hanging. wall has now
been driven about 65 feet and it
is expected that this work will
be completed inside the next 40
feet. A large force of men is
engaged in development under
the management Of Octave Quay
Of Kingston.
ANCHOR showing on
the 200-foot level is said to be
steadily improving and the ore
body to be widening. Drifting
on the ledge has commenced.
The property is located near
Burke and adjoins the West
Hecla mine which is traversed
by the same ledge.
|. BIG FLAT-Ab 200 feet of
flume is being constructed and
some water pipe is being INSTALL
ed for sluicing the ground. A
force Of eight men is employed
at present but it is the intention
to increase this materially as
soon as the present improve
ments are completed. The prop
erty is located in the Iron Noun
tain section and is placer ground.
SILVER MOUNTAIN-An as
sessment of two mills has been
levied on the capital stock. This
is payable on or before July Is

SAMSON-The property was
visited last week by Louis Felt
man of Murray. Mr.. Feltman
states that the ore showing is
excellent and predicts a splendid
future for the mine. The prop
erty is located on West Eagle
Creek and is being developed un-
der the management of W. S.
Brainard of Wardner.
MANCHESTER crosscut
is now in over 1000 feet and it is
expected that a strike of ore may
be made at any time, the point
where it was thought the ledge
would be encountered having
been passed. That the ledge. has
not yet been exposed is believed
to be due to the fact that the ore
body dips away from the present
workings. The property is To-
Gated in the Stevens peak Sec
ton and is being developed un-
der the management of Joseph
Blackburn.
RHODE ISLAND-The Wine
is now down IS feet and string
ers of ore are being encountered
continually. AS soon as the 100
foot level is reached it is the in
tention to drive a crosscut of
from 100 to 125 feet to encounter
the ledge. The property is To-
Gated in the Osborne section and
is being developed under the
management of F. j. Martin.
CALLAHAN-No definite ar
engagements have yet been made
with regard to the proposed wag-
on road but it is probable that
the management Of a number of
other mines operating in that
section will fall in line and join
in the project in the near future.
No shipments from the mine are
contemplated at this time. A
force Of IA men is engaged in
the development.
GOLD CRAG-Colonel Stew
ard Fuller, who owns the control
of this company, has returned to
Wallace. 1t is his intention to
make a trip of inspection to the
mine in the near future. AS
soon as this has been done it is
probable that a contract for a
large amount of work will be let.
A splendid showing Of ore was
recently exposed in the mine.

.BRENT|Es FROM VARIOUS PROPERTIES

AGN Eo some nice samples VI
ore have been brought in from
this mine. The ore is galena and
is said to carry good values in
silver. The property is located
in the Saltese section and is un-
der steady development.
SURPRISE The shaft being
sunk on the Surprise mine is
now down about 40 feet and the
ore continues to hold and appears
to be improving with depth. The
ledge at this point is four feet
wide. The total depth from the
surface is close to 400 feet. The
property is located on Pine Creek.
MOON CREEK-N. J. Burns,
one Of the heavy stockholders,
paid a visit to the mine last week.
Mr.. Burns states that the shaft
is now down almost 300 feet and
chat the ore values are improv-
ing right along. 1t is said that
the company is contemplating
the installation of a small con-
centrator. The annual meeting
of stockholders has been called
for June Is.
SKOOKUM CLAIM-The one
eighth interest Of Kennedy j.
Hanley and Echo Hanley in this
claim has been advertised for
sale by the sheriff for July 2 at
the county court house to satisfy
a judgment involving about $751;
600.
MIDWAY-SUMMIT- The
compressor plant and other equip
ment for this mine has been
shipped and it is expected that
the work of installation will be
completed this month when the
driving Of the lower crosscut
will be commenced. A good
showing Of ore has been made in
the upper workings. The prop
erty is located in the Burke Sec
tion.
LITTLE NORTH FORK ROAD
The settlers and miners along
the Little North Fork River have
reached an agreement with the
local forestry department by
which a six mile wagon road will
be constructed. 1t is not believ-
ed, however, that it will be pos
sible to complete the work this
summer.
SNOWSTORM dividend of
$45, 900 has been declared for
this month. This dividend will
be paid June Is and is at the rate
of three cents a share. Ship
ments from the mine have in
creased materially and it is be-
lieved that regular dividends will
now be paid. No statement has
been issued in connection with
the No. 4 tunnel except that the
point where the cave-in took
place some time ago has been
passed.
LISTON-This company has
filed location notices of the Con-
tinental, Security, Dan Patch and
Cosmos mining claims. The
claims adjoin the present prop
erty of the company on Big creek.
The mine is being developed by
a long crosscut tunnel. An ex-
cellent showing of ore has been
made in the upper workings.
MULLAN BELLE-As an
nounced in The Miner some time
ago development of this property
has been resumed under the man.
agement of Patrick McNeff.
Supplies and equipment were ia
ken to the property last week.
1t is believed that if the present
ore body continues to improve
with this work as it has been
improving in the past, the mine
will be in a position to ship.

The dirigible balloon has all the best

which it is capable of taking up into

which may be lifted by the aeroplane

might count for little if the aeroplane

for it. What Wright says about the

AS for the aeroplane, there is a dispo-

A LIVE 1EAHcER.

An year old boy came home from
school in Marshaltown this week with
his eyes fairly swapping with interest
and delight in his school work. Ills
mother. who could not help but see
that there was something more than
book drudgery going on at school,
asked what the little fellow was learn
ing. "Oh geography and lots of things"
he replied and then he related what the
teacher had told them about the
Wright brothers making a machine
that would fly and of DR.. Cooks sue
cess in reaching the north pole; up-to-
date information which correlated with
geography and which that child would
be buying newspapers and magazines
in a very few years to learn for him
self. The eacher was alive and realized
that she was dealing with live minds
hungry for information about live
things.
Schools conducted upon this plan
draw out an intense interest on the
part Of children and set them to work
learning rudiments three times as fast
as the old fashioned speed because they
find nothing dull in their work If this
teacher is an exception It's pity. She
ought to be drafted for normal school
instruction. If her methods are part of
the policy of the administration let
more care be exercised that such pol
icies be executed in every room.
Public school work can not be made

about US. We have all been converted
within the past ten years to the high
mission of manual training for boys
and we are just beginning to open gu.
manual training for our girls. Ter
years from now we will be turning on;
Of every high school young women tex-
perts in food chemistry and the science
Of health whose management of the
homes of the next generation will rev.
olutionize our vital statistics. It is ths
general policy of teaching live things
and creating live interest in scnoo
work which distinguishes the I'D.

from the Anticipated conditions of the
past. The little boys teacher above

Keep awake scuple of hours longer.
But the lights were gone for good
that night. Liddy had gone to sleep,
as knew she would. She was a very
unreliable person: always awake and
ready to talk when she wasn't wanted
and doing OF to sleep when she was
called her once or twice, the only re.
suit being an explosive snore that
threatened her very windpipe-then l
got up and lighted bedroom candle.
My bedroom and dressing room
were above the big living room on
the first floor. On the second floor a
long corridor ran the length of the
house, with rooms opening from both
sides. In the wings were small cor
ridors crossing the main one-the
plan was simplicity itself. And just
as I got back into bed, l heard a
sound from the east wing, apparently,
that made me stop, frozen, with one
bedroom slipper half off, and listen. 1t
was rafting metallic sound, and 1t
reverberated along the empty halls
like the crash of doom. 1t was for all
the world as If something heavy, per-
haps piece of steel, had rolled clat-
tering and jangling down the hard
wood stairs leading to the card-room.
In the silence that followed Liddy
stirred and snored again. l was ex-
asperated; first she kept me awake
by silly alarms, then when she was
needed she slept like Joe Jefferson, or
Rip-they are always the same to me.
l went in and aroused her, and l give
her credit for being wide awake the
minute spoke.
Get up" l said. "if you don't want
to be murdered in your bed"

Liddy's knees seemed to give away
under her. Without sound she sank
down. leaving me staring at the win
dow in petrified amazement. Liddy
began to moan under her breath, and
in my excitement l reached down and
shook her.
Stop It," I whispered. Its only

you here. I'm going"
She moved at that, and, holding to
my sleeve, we felt our way, with nu-
merous collisions, to the billiard-room,
and from there to the drawing-room.
The lights came on then, and, with
the long French windows unshuttered
| had a creepy feeling that each one
sheltered peering face. In fact, in
the light of what happened afterward,
l am pretty certain we were under
surveillance during the entire ghostly
evening. We hurried over the resi- of
the locking-up and got upstairs as
quickly as we could. l left the lights
all on, and our footsteps echoed ca
vernously. Liddy had stiff neck the
next morning, from looking back over
her shoulder, and she refused to go
to bed.
Let me stay in your dressing room,
Miss Rachel" she begged. IF you
don't I'll sit in the hall outside the
door. I'm not going to be murdered
with my eyes shut"
1t was II o'clock when I finally pre-.
pared for bed In spite of my assump-
ton of Indifference, locked the door
into the hall, and finding the tran

A DISCOVERY IN BONDS.

Mr.. Reed treasurer of the school
board at Council Bluffs, has made a
discovery in the bond markets of the
country which should receive legisla-
tive attention in Iowa. He went to
market with some 4 per cent school
bonds and came home dragging the
bonds behind him because. as he states
il, the market is we'll supplied with
new class of and s per cent bonds,
known as interurban, irrigation. drain
age ditch and highway improvement
bonds. Highway improvement bonds,
he finds, are the newest class of Sc
curities, issued by highway districts
in accordance with plan adopted by
a number of eastern states and are
a lien on the land improved. They are
actually crowding school district
bonds out of the market because their
interest rate is higher and their Sc
curity just as good
The Iowa legislature has been made to
see the practicability of special drain
age districts and their bond issues for
ditch construction Undoubtedly some
of Iowa's drainage bonds We're found
in Mr.. Reeds way when he offered his
school bonds, at any rate bitches ag-
gregating a million or more in cost are
not uncommon in Iowa under the spe-
cial drainage district law, but as yet
we have not learned to apply the spe-
cial district and long time bond issue
to road Improvement When we do we
can have paved highways turnout
Iowa on twenty year bond issues at a
cost of about so cents per acre annual
tax for the quarter sections adjacent to
the roads and % cents to 10 cents per
acre for the farms one and two miles
back from the improved highway.
These bonds are now in the markets,
pushing our school bonds aside, so Mr.
Reed finds, but they have been issued
for roads built in the eastern states.
Why not in Iowa?

DIRiGIBLE AND AERoPLANE.

Whether, when man finally navi-
gates the air with freedom and conf
dence, it will be by the areoplane or
by the dirgible balloon is a question
which awaits time and events for So
luton. The essential difference in
principle is this, that the former is
heavier than the air and the latter
lighter than the air The heavier than
air machine must get from It's motors
Its bouancy as well as it legs, so to
speak. The lighter than-air machine
is made a present of its bouyancy; The
air doees that much for it gratis; only
to make Roadway and maintain direc-
ton must it resort to its motors.
Orville Wright after seeing Count
Zeppelin perform with his dirigible a
few days ago said 81 don't wish to be
understood as attempting to make any
sort of comparison between dirisible
airships and areoplanes. They are sc
Numerically opposed as to make such
a thing impossible. The graceful ease
and apparent accuracy with which
Count Zeppelin can steer balloon was
thoroughly shown in last Sundays pic
turesque flight to Berlin. Yet m,
definite impression is now more con-
Hnmed than ever that the dirigible has
reached the Limit. of its capabilities. Az
compared with THE aeroplane should
say that the dirigible occupies .hs
same relative position as the steam en-.
CINE does toward the gas engine Tht
possibilities OF the former are, as en-
gineers agree. pretty well exhausted

hearing nothing, opened the door q
little and peered into the hall. It was
black void, full OF terrible sugges-

the gloom. Liddy sQuealed and drew
me back again, and as the door
slammed, the mirror I had put on the
transom came down and hit her on
the head. That completed our de-
moralization. 1t was some time before

And so we sat there until morning,
wondering If the candle would last
