THE WORK AT
KOOSKIA DAM
All Prelimin ary VIII BE Done
This Fall.

This Fall.
From an interview in the Lew
iston Tribune by Hugh O'Don-
nell, editor, of the Kookia Mount
aineer, the Mining News gets
the following:
The work is being confined to
one abutment at this time and
about fifteen men are employed.
A power concrete mixer is being
used and at present all the work
is above the water line. Mr..
O'Donnell understands that it is
the purpose of the company to
confine the work this fall to the
abutment work, thus taking no
chances on loss from high water,
while with the approach of low
water next summer the main
dam will be installed. 1t is the
belief that the river will not rise
sufficiently to check the work
this fall until some date in Nov
ember. The company plans to
have the work finished about one
year hence.
The dam will develop 5000
horse power, and statements have
been made that prior to under
taking the dam construction. the
company representatives made
such investigation as convinced
them that adequate market
would be provided.
Mr.. O'Donnell, commenting on
the statements made by Engineer
Bell to the Tribune upon visit
of Mr.. Bell to Lewiston people
several weeks ago, to the effect
that the power lines would in all
probability be extended to the
Lewiston field, said he was con-
vinced that the company had
definitely planned this step.

CONCENTRATES.


From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Electric induction furnaces for
steel production have the disad-
vantage of not melting the Stag
thoroughly, as they generate
their heat within the metal and
the Stag is always cooler than
the metal, instead of hotter, as
it should be. Induction furnaces
are not well suited to melting
down cold charges, as it is only
in molten charge that the cur
rent is readily induced.
Quicksilver production is not
an especially profitable industry,
though an important one. Most
of the large mines in the United
States treat ore of which the
quicksilver content averages less
than 1 per cent. The larger part
of the production comes from
California, with Texas as second
and the total annual production
for the United States has had a
value of a little less than mil
lion dollars per year during re-
cent years.
Shoshone County, Idaho, fur
nishes SO per cent of the lead
production of that state. Prac-
tically all this lead is derived from
argentiferous galena ore from
the Occur d'Alene district, .oc-
curing in fssure veins and zones
in pre-Cambrain quartzite. Most
of the ore is concentrated to a
content Of 45 to 60 per cent lead.
Idaho produces one-third Of the
total lead of the United States,
and with its silver production,
holds an important place in the
mining industry.
Barrel is a term of varying
significance, as it is used both as
a measure Of capacity and of
weight. The standard oil barrel
is 42 U. S. gallons, the standard
beer barrel SO GAL, and the
standard wine barrel 81 1-2 gal.
When used for solid substances
a barrel is q measure Of weight;
for example, a barrel of flour is
1876 pounds, and a barrel of fish,
beef or pork, 200 pounds. The
standards differ in some states.
and it should be remembered that
from their nature it is not pos
sible to construct barrels with
mathematical accuracy.
Geld can be freed from lead iii
smelling zinc-boX precipitate by
the use Of a fuX containing 60
per cent borax, 10 per cent nitre,
} II 1-2 per cent sand, and 7 per
cent soda. Manganese dioXide
is said to be more efficient than
| nitre in oxidizing the lead, and
, for fusing 100 parts of slime q
; iux composed Of 20 to 35 parts
of borax, 20 to 40 parts of man.
panese dioxide, and Is to 40 parts
of sand, is highly recommended.
: Gold recovered from alluvial
work is usually nearly free from
base impurities and can be melt
2 ed down with little borax glass
: and nitre. Fluorspar, when
: available, is a good fiux, as it is
? very liquid when molten.

WILL WORK THE
FAIRBANKS
Considerable Work Will Be
Done.

w. l.. Wakely, of Portland,
one of the owners of the Fair
banks group of claims, situated
on Red river at the mouth of
Deadwood gulch, has just re-
turned to the claims, and is pre-
pairing to do considerable de-
velopment work this winter.
The principle work will be done
on the Fairbanks Nos. l and 2,
on which there is a good vein
that carries high values. Besides
the quartz vein there is por-
phyry dixie some 40 #. wide that
in places carries pay values, and
it is the intention to thoroughly
prospect this dixie, and possibly
run several tunnels to determine
to what extent it carries values.
At present. they are sinking a
shallow shaft and opening the
vein on the surface.

Fault Had Thrown the
Vein.
WORK PLANNED FOR WINTER
Owners Will Open UP the
Rich Shoot.

The owners of the Center Star
group of claims, who have been
at work for the past several
months driving drift on the
foot wall of the vein, in the
hopes of encountering the rich
pay shoot opened on the surface,
have been rewarded at last, for
they have now entered the ore.
Last year when the property
was under bond to eastern par
ties, a cross-cut tunnel was run
which cut the vein at consider
able depth, and while showing a
fair grade of ore, it was not the
same as that on the surface. A
drift was started on the hanging
and driven in 130 it,, when a
cross-cut was made in the hang
ing wall, under the impression
the ore was still beyond this.
No paw ore was encountered and
the work was stopped.
The owners, Messrs. Murphy,
Brown and Tiedeman then took
up the task of finding the ore,
and started a drift on the foot
wall, which they drove 100 #. ,
when they encountered a throw
in the vein that explained the
situation. A cross-cut was then
started for the hanging wall and
after going some Is ft. the ore
was picked up. The throw was
found to be some 80 ft. to the
west, but the ore could have beer
found from the first drift hac
they cross-cut to the foot instead
of to the hanging waH.
At present the owners have
not gone through the vein, an(
will continue the work until they
reach the hanging wall. Th'
ore is of the same character a
that found on the. surface, anC
shows free gold and pans well
1t has about the same dip ant
pitch, which is very fiat.
Besides this work in the drift
the surface has been opened t
the south in a number of place
and some very rich ore has bee
exposed. They have laid gu
considerable work to be don
under ground and may continu
work all winter.

HOLD COTTON, REDUCE
ACREAGE, ONLY REMEDY
GOVERNORS PLAN FOR RELIEF OF
SOUTHERN FARMERS.
Keep UnsOld Portion OF Present Crop
OF Market, Plant p Per Cent.
Less Next Year.

New Orleans, October 31.-The far
mers of the South must withhold from
the market every remaining bale Of
the present seasons crop Of cotton
and follow this with a concerted and
binding agreement to-reduce next sea-
sons cotton acreage at least rs per
'cenI., if they hope ITO restore the
South's great money staple to nor
NAL price level and retrieve the losses
sustained by reason of present low
prices.
This is the plan which the confer
ence of Southern governors adopted at
it's concluding session today, to secure
immediate relief from the depression
in the price of the staple.
For Permanent Relief.
sAs a means Of securing permanent
relief from such conditions, and to
guarantee the cotton farmer in the
future against the necessity of glut-
ting the market with his supplies in
the opening of the season, the Con-
ference adopted resolutions faVoring
the establishment, in every cotton
growing State, of State controlled ware
houses and the collection and periodi-
cal publication Of statistics bearing up
on the worlds demand for and con-
sumption of American cotton.
The proposal of foreign banking in
terests of finance holding movement
covering 100000 bales of the present
crop was referred to special commit
tee for future action.
The recommendation follow.
Live at Home-Cotton as Surplus.
Eve earnestly recommend to the
planters Of the Sothern States to fol-
low the example of Louisiana and so
diversity their crops as to produce
everything necessary for consumption
on the farm and let cotton be the sur
plus crop, even if; the quantity raised
shall be twenty-five per cent. less than
the present crop, as then they will get
just as much in return for much less
than this years crop will yield at
present prices. They will soon free
themselves from debt and be in con-
dition without financial aid to sell
gradually as the demand shall exist
and not market the work of a year
in so or 80 days as they have been ac-
customed to doing.
Urge Consumption Figures.
I'VE call upon our representatives
in congress to have the present crop |
reporting system so amended as to re-
quire the periodical publication of re-
liable statistics of cotton consumption
and trade information, gathered from
all cotton consuming countries, and
we recommend, also, and for oursel-
YES, agree that the commissioners of
agriculture in the cotton States gather
and publish like information and we

ton States to adopt to this end, any
uniform legislation enabling the agri-
cultural commissioners to act in con-
cert and to constitute bureau Of cot
ton manufactured, cotton trade, and
cotton consuming information, to the
end that, with the estimates Of pro-
duction which are how furnished by
the federal government, there may
also be estimates of demand and thus
put the planter in position to fix
fair price for his products.
Prosecute Bears, Also.
The members of the conference
have been reliably informed that
bulls on the cotton exchanges have
been indicted in the United States
courts under the Sherman act for con-
spring to buy cotton and advance the
price, and if this be in accordance
with the provisions of this act, then
We respectfully insist that the bears
in the exchanges who conspire to sell
cotton, which they do not possess, with
the expectation OF decline in price, Or
for the purpose of affecting a decline,
be likewise prosecuted.
- fair and comprehensive system
of future trading is accepted by the
commercial world as essential TO the
proper and advantageous movement
and distribution OF lne crop, but it is
urgently recommended that congress
shall pass such laws as will abate
abuses and regulate future contract
trading in exchanges, to the end that
it discharge its functions as a trade
utility, fair alike to both buyer and
seller, and to the commodity which is
the subject of the future transactions.
State Warehousing System.
''It is earnestly recommended that
the several State governments shall
take appropriate action to bring about
such Warehousing system, or systems, !!
as will best serve the interests Of the !
producer Of cotton.
In view OF the apparent demand for
cotton during the next thirteen months,
we recommend that the unsold cotton
of the present crop be Withdrawn from
the market and disposed of by a sys-
TEN Of gradual marketing. We. urge
bankers and business men to cooper
ate with farmers in this undertaking.
we report to the cotton farmers
that tentative and attractive PROPOSE
tons have been made by responsible
financial interests for purchasing some
two million bales of the present crop.
This negotiation is referred, for de-
in practical form, to a COM
mittee.
Plan to Reduce Acreage.
Reduction Of acreage in 1912 is
urged as a necessary part of any plan
Of holding and financing the present
crop. We recommend, and for our
selves agree, that the governor of each
cotton State proceed at once to ap-
point representative in each county,
who in turn will appoint a representa-
tive in each school district or voting
precinct, to secure from every far
mer binding, written pledge to re-
duce his cotton acreage in 1912, 25
per cent, below his acreage in 1911.

form, we recommend that in any leg

TAXI HITS TAFT AUTO
Presidents Nephew, Unhurt,
Goes to Opera Performance.

Howard Taft son of Henry w. Taft,
the Presidents brother, narrowly es-
capped injury last night when the auto
mobile in which he was riding was
struck by a taxicab driven by John
Mitchell, a chauffeur. The accident hap
pened at Seventh avenue and 3Sth street,
as Mr.. Taft was on his way to the
Metropolitan opera House.
The Taft machine was going south on
Seventh avenue about $50 o'clock, when
the taxicab, with Mitchell at the wheel,
came through 3Sth street. bound west.
Mr.. Taft's chauffeur did not see the taxi
until the smaller machine shot into
Seventh avenue, and by that time the
distance was too short to avoid the
smashup.
The Taft car shot ahead at increased
speed In an attempt to escape the taxi
cab, but the two cars met at the centre
of the cross streets. the taxi striking
the Taft automobile in the rear and
8 lashing the left rear mudguard. Mr..
Taft was partly thrown from his seat,
but was uninjured
A hasty examination showed that no
serious damage had been done To the
machine. and. after he had assured him
self of this. Mr.. Taft told his chauffeur
to have the car repaired in time 10 take
him home and went in 10 enjoy the
opera.
