ago continues to hold out in good
shape. In places the ledge has
Widened out to three feet of
clean shipping ore with several
feet Of milling ore. The body
appears to be improving as de-
velopment progresses. The
property is located near Saltese.
COEUR D'ALENE VULCAN
Excellent progress is being
made with the long crosscut tun-
mel in spite of the fact that it
has only been possible to work
one shift for some time past
owing to a shortage Of water and
owing to the fact that the
ground has been unusually hard.
The tunnel is now in about 1900
feet. The property is located be-
tween this city and Osborne and
is being developed under the
management Of John P. Steler.
RHODE ISLAND - Develop
ment has been suspended for
some time past but it is expect
ed that arrangements for re-
sumption of work can be made
in the near future. The proper
ty is located in the Osborne sec
ton and is being. developed by
shaft under the management OF
F. J. Martin Of this city. An
excellent showing of copper ore
has been made.
SILVER MOUNTAIN - The
order for the new air compressor
has been placed and it is hoped
that the plant will be delivered
and installed before the end of
the month. The property is To-
Gated between this city and
Mullan and is being developed
under the management of Sam
Tenna'. A long lower crosscut
tunnel is being driven. A good
showing Of ore has been made in
the upper workings.
COPPER CROWN - 1t is re-
ported that a good strike of ore
has been made. There is said
to be a considerable amount of
bornite showing in the face Of
the tunnel and development is
being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible to determine the full eX-
tent of the ore body. The prop
erty is located near Mullan and
adioins the holdings Of the Cop
per Queen company.
IVANHOE = 1t is reported
that negotiations are pending
with the management of the
Star mine at Mullan by which
the lvanhoe owners hope to
come to an agreement for the de-
velopment of their ground
through the workings of the
Star mine. 1t is believed that
the ore shoot of the Ivanhoe
company can be encountered by
driving an 1l00-foot crosscut
from the lower tunnel of the Star
mine.
MOON CREEK Development
is progressing steadily. The in
cline has been sunk outside the
ore body in recent development
and a crosscut back into the ore
shoot is now being run. A large
body of commercial ore has been
exposed and it is believed that
only a little more depth is neces-
sary to encounter shipping ore.
The property is located on Moon
creek and is under the manage
ment of j. pepper of this city.
H. f. M. According to sur
vey it is expected that the long

A ROAD IN PANAMA.
Features of a Highway Built by the
United States Government.

United States Government.
Road building down on the isthmus
of Panama does of necessity get its
share of attention, too, but by the
Americans, however, for when they
find that the business Of the zone can
best be facilitated by the making of
good roads the work is then COM
menced But it must be remembered
that there are no roads at all. so when
they build they build good ones.
There has recently been thrown open
new road in the zone which extends
from the Boulevard Fourth de Julio to
the La Boca road. 1t comes through
Ancon, canal zone, and is sort Of
boundary line between the zone and
Panama, Panama being on the right.
while AncOn is on the left. Before this
| road was opened up road traffic be"
tween Ancon, canal zone, and La Boca
had to travel route about one and
one-half miles longer than the present
route, thus causing the consumption
of much time in the zones business
traffic. The present route is what
| might be called ''short cut"
The road was ballasted with crushed
stone on its completion and has since
| been reballasted. so as to stand the
| long rainy season. This was done by
first going over it with more crushed
stone, followed by water sprinkling
wagon, after which a road roller went
over it. The roller may be seen in the
distance. The road is now in SUBJ
! stantial condition.
| The republic of Panama has no
roads, and yet this is the one thing
that will give impetus to the business
Of her people. 1t is only a matter Of
time when there will be roads
through the zone extending from the
city Of Panama to that Of Colon. BY
having these the business of the canal
zone can be expedited.
Some one may ask, What does the
one span bridge amount to? Well. it
means much down on the isthmus.

"Flying Machines to Hire" will be a

At the head of this latest thing in

A Gold Road.

At Oroville, in Butte county, CAL, a
section of roadway has been found so
rich in placer gold that an application
has been made for permission to
dredge 1t. The miner who makes the
application to the authorities agrees,
according to newspaper reports, to re-
place the road by one fully as good as
or better than the present one. 1t would
seem, however, that If the city owns n
gold mine It would pay better to work
it and get the money for the city treas
ury. Not many cities in the country
can boast Of paying gold deposits in
the public streets, and there is proba-
bly, dearth Of precedents to guide
the city council in its action.

Wrishts Here, Flint Abroad.
The Wrights probably will hold a
controlling interest in the American
concern, but the Flint interests will
be Supreme in those abroad. AS soon
as all the proposed companies have
been organized it is likely that stock
is to be offered to the public, and, it
may be, an effort will be made to list
the securities on the exchanges here
and in Europe.
With basic patents in this country,
Europe, Australia and South America,
covering everything believed conceiv-
able in connection with the making of
an aeroplane. the Wrights and Mr..
Flint believe they have monopoly Of
the business. They have instituted ac-
ton for infringement against Bleriot,
the transchannel fiier; against Curtiss,
the American aeroplanist, and all
others using anything resembling their
form Of machine.

F. II. Cordley, member of Flint &

The Wright brothers, besides holding
stock in all of the foreign companies,
have received cash payments for the
rights to manufacture their machines
and will also receive royalties on the
number of machines turned out.

WATER TRANSPORTATION.
important Factor In the Promoting Of
Home Trade.

Important faCtcF IN tne FFomotin9 OF
Home Trade.
The movement to revive river trans.
portation is becoming more widespread
and general. In Kansas City there is
plan on foot to put boats again on
the Missouri river. The effort has
been hailed with enthusiasm all along
the river. Boonville, Mo-, is a sample
case. After a day spent in Boonville
a correspondent of the Kansas City
Star writes:
This town has not grown since the
days of steamboat traffic, thirty years
ago. 1t had population Of 5000 then;
it has the same number now.
In the old days. when fleet of sixty
five steamboats, piled the Missouri riv-
er, Boonville ranked among the impor-
tant commercial cities in the state out
side of st. Louis. 1t was even greater
than Kansas City. Often half dozen
steamboats, lay with their nozzles to
its levees. The shouts of roustabout
gangs and the cries of a hundred team
sters echoed day and night from it's
warehouse walls.
HI luoSC uuyS IL Wuo u uls-
tributing point for all the country
roundabout. Trains Of freight wag-
ons loaded at its levees for points fifty
and eighty miles away. Droves Of cat
tie, hogs and sheep and whole cargoes
of grain and farm products went from
Boonville by water.
And then came the railroads with a
lower freight rate than the boats
could meet and live. and one boatman
after another failed and withdrew
from the killing competition Of the rail
lines. Soon there was not steamboat
J left in the trade.
And then what happened? Let the
government authorities of the inland
waterways commission tell the story.
! The last report Of this commission
made to congress in 1908 says this Of
river towns:
"The railroads take traffic at unduly
low rates along the river and at COM
petitive points generally and recon-.
pense themselves by high charges at
noncompetitive points"
This official report gives one indica-
ton of why the growth Of Boonville
ceased when the steamboats, left the
river. From st. Louis to Boonville is
$50 miles. The rail rate on first class
freight from st. Louis to Boonville is
80 cents hundred pounds. The rail
rate from St. Louis to Burlington. Ia,
the same distance. is 80 cents a hun
dred pounds for the same class Of
freight. The reason the rail rate to
Burlington is 13 cents lower than to
Boonville is that Burlington is on the
Mississippi riyer and two lines Of
steamboats, reach 1t from st. Louis
The rate by steamer to Burlington on
the same class of freight is 33 cents. 10
cents lower than the rail rate to Boon
vile.
The same government report shows
that the same class of freight is car
ried by rail from st. Louis to Winona,
Mimi, 400 miles. for 80 cents, cents
less than the rate to Boonville, and the
water rate to Winona is only "a
cents. while freight is carried by
water from st. Louis clear TO ST. Paul,
$50 miles. for 40 cents, II cents less
than the rail rate to Boonville.
1t is this condition that has aroused
the business men of this place to the
need Of water transportation.

Regulation Of Posters.

In response to an energetic protest
by woman property owner the city
council of Chicago has been asked by
the mayor to prepare an ordinance
prohibiting the posting of bills. posters
and signs on vacant buildings. On
three empty stores awaiting tenants
this lady found that billposters had
pasted signs. posters. ETC.. on doors.
windows and castings, and during
painting operations bill was actually
stuck upon newly painted door. Can
any one imagine such unwarranted
abuse Of even questionable privileges.
In her letter to the mayor of Chicago
this owner pertinently stated. "You
can't rent shabby property" Such
evidence should help reformation in
the billboard nuisance and inspire Wig

ROAD OPENED IN ANCoN AND BRIDGE ON

There are no bridges. and when it
rains you must wait for the swollen
streams to go down before you can
cross. The illustration shows one
span iron bridge recently erected in
place of an old wooden frame on the
La Boca road. 1t has a wooden floor,
upon which concrete floor was laid.
This is the road into which the new

tance are laborers' quarters. If you
advance in the photo you approach La
Boca docks; If you turn and come back
you will enter the newly opened road.
Since this road has been open the
benefit of the "short cut" has been
taken by many Of the general public
who find the old route too far out Of
the way for quick travel. 1t may be
called also necessity road."-C Nor
