NEWS ITEMS RELATIVE
TO MINING IN NORTH IDAHO

Che Stewart mine, controlled by F A.
+ Heinze. is making good showing.
Five hundred tons Of ore is sent to the
mill every dav and first class ore at the
rate Of 800 tons per month goes TO the
East Helena smelteI The first class
ore runs 40 per cent lead and 40 on Of
silver per ton. The second class is con
centrated 6l9 into ], and the concentrate
runs 81 per cent lead and 30 OF. silver.
The Stewart has cleaned off all indebt-
edness. except about $4,000, and that
will be paid of in about six weeks
One hundred thousand dollars is
being expanded to make the Hunter
NINE, near MuIlan, one Of the best
equipped plants in the Occur d'Alene
district. Among the improvements con
templated are the enlarging OF the mine
and the installation Of an electric hoist
and electric trains for hauling ore from
ta- shaft 10 thu bins on the tunnel
level. The capacity Of the mill will be
increased from 400 to 800 tons daily.
The latter work is to be completed early
in June. One hundred and fifty men
are At work, the principal operations
being on the 40n foot level
Separations as clean as could be desired
and with small loss are being made in
the mill at the Success mine in the
Occur d'Alene Sufficient ore is broken
down in the slopes to run the mill
several months, and there is enough
ore blocked out TO assure steady out
put for several years Some of the slopes
that were worked twenty years ago are
being re-opened and are ready to yield
a large tonnage. Having been worked
for the lead alone. most OF the clean
zinc, or mixed lead and zinc, was left
on the walls.
Develop ment work on the Federal
company's mine at Mace, Idaho, has
opened large orebody on the 1900 foot
level. The ore was encountered az No
II chute and has been driven on to No,
% chute. distance Of 400 feet. 1t is
believed to continue to the end line of
the Mommoth claim The new ore is
superior to anything that has been
opened in the mine and prolongs the
life of the property indefinitely. A new
orebody, showing 13 inches Of steel
galena, was discovered recently in the
l40O loot level. The west drift in this
level was extended to the end line of
the claim, and it was within few feet
OF the line where the new ore was found.
The company is negotiating for the pur-
chase Of the Cleveland claim, into which
it is belived the orebody extends.
FAVORABLE indications are seen in the
Northern Light property in Northern
Idaho, where a find Of Importance was
made in a cross cut from the shaft at
distance of IS feet from the surface.
The shaft began in ore which dipped
at about the depth of 40 feet. Several
stringers of ore were cut in sinking the
shaft. The cross.cu picked up one of
these at 10 feet and shows that the vein
had widened to fully 10 feet and that it
is full of ore, the richest galena showing
througout the quartz. The cross-cut
will be continued to cut the other other
stringers, and as these were better in
the upper workings than the one just
discovered even more is expected of
them. The shaft will be continued to a
depth of 100 feet before the next cross-
cut is made scientific Press.

Straw Protected the Wheat.

Prof. A. NJ. Ten Eyck, in
charge Of the Fort Hayes expert
mental station of the Agricultu-
raj college, in writing about the
damage done to growing crops by
the high winds last week, among
ther Things stated the following !:
On the Fort Hays branch ex-
pertinent station farm, 100 acres
of wheat out of a total of $50,
was almost totally destroyed and
50 acres was more or less severe
ly injured. The injury to these
fields resulted in part from the
starting of the soil, first, on ad-
jacent plOwed fields of Kaffir
corn and cane Stubble. This drift
ing soil driven with great force
across the adjacent field of grain
gradually pluverized the surface
and started the sod particles to
moving ON the whole field, and
thus the destruction went on ever
increasing with the velocity of
the wind. In some wheat fields
the drifting started within the
field at some exposed place and
spread rapidly, often sweeping
over the remaining portion of the
field beyond the point where
the drifting started.
Certain fields on the station
were not injured much, due large
ly to the protective measures
which had been purpOsely under
taken IN order to guard against
just such an Occurance. During
the winter a light dressing of
straw was spread on one field of
so acres which was especially
susceptible to drifting by wind,
and early in the spring this field
was cultivated with the subsur-
face packer. This treatment
firmed the soil about the roots
of the wheat, cut the surface into
numerous small burrows and pres
ed the straw into the ground,
leaving it largely sticking up on
end. This field did not drift,
and the wheat on it remained
practically unnjured.
Straw was spread on a pOr'
ton of another field of 100 A
and the whole field was subsur
face packed. But the soil began
to drift on a piece of fall plow
ing lying north of the wheat and
lsweeping across the grain field
severely damaged and perhaps

destroyed much of the wheat on
the northeast half of this quar-
ter. 1t was observed that the
damage from the drifting soil
was very slight south of an area.
about 10 rods wide near the mid
die of this field, which had re-
ceived coat of straw during the
winter. The drifting soil lodged
IN the straw covered, subSurface-
packed strip, partly covering the
wheat but preventing largely the
further drifting beyond this area.
1t is quite evident that if this
whole field had been dressed with
straw and subSurface-packed it
would have received little injury.
Another eighty acre field was
subsurfaced before the storm but
this was not done for lack of la
Dor or funds. The listers were
started March q, the day follow
ing the storm, too late to over
come the damage already done.
but with the purpose of prepar-
ING for another storm should it
occur.
This storm has evidently done
great deal of damage to the
wheat crop of Western Kansas
in all the counties south and west
of Ellis county. The writer es-
Inmates the loss at SO per cent of
the total acreage. The wheat
fields of the farmers in this local
lty, especially to the south and
east of the station, having no
covering of straw and no prOtec-
ton by subSurface packing, are
In worse condition than the sta
ton fields. North and east of
Hays the rainfall has been great
er, in fact, these sections receiv-
ed a good shower on Saturday
night just previous to the great
counties further east and north
dust storm, thus the crops in the
were not mjuerd.
The greatest damage done, how
ever, is not to the crop, but to
the soil. Hundreds of tons of the
fertile soil were blown away from
the experiment station farm.
Much of this soil raised high IN
the air and CARED to great dis
tanceS. Another portion lodged
in the fence rows and in the
draws and creek. At the edge of
one field bordering on the creek
a line of sod drifts may be seen
several feet deep.
While the storm described was
above the average in severity and
deStructiveneSs, yet it is true
that destructive winds occur in
Western Kansas and throughout
the great plains area almost ev-
cry spring, and one of the great
est problems of successful dry
land farming which now con-
fronts us, is to 50 arrange our
system of cropping and soil till.

of our crops by wind and reduce
to a minimum this great waste Of

ed TO the study of the art of tea
ching and: a review Of the COM

amount of money appropriated
by the legislature for this pur-
pose affords $4,000 for 1912 and
$4,000 for 1913, making it pos
Sible to add forty high schools

So much for school legislation.
"A law, important to some com
munities, is one passed under
which County Commissioners may
appropriate money for bridges.
Several counties in the state with
large streams running through
them, have been at a great disad-
vantage in regard to building
bridges. The bill was intrOduc-
I'd and pushed through by Abr
ans of COwley county, who has
considerable Arkansas River in
his district. Under the. present
law no county, regardless of its
valuation, could appropriate to
exceed $4,000. Under this law
they can appropriate up to $685.
600. Barton county, with an as
seSSed valuation of a trfile over
$4O,OOO,OOO, can appropriate ap-
prOpriate $4,000. However, be-
fore doing dsO the commissioners
must publish a notice of their in
tentiOn to make such appropria-
ton for at least 80 days in the
official county paper, Then if
ten per cent of the taxpayers in
the county by petition demand of
the commissioners that the pro-
position be submitted to a vote.
1t must be done. Then if a ma
Jorlty votes yes, the apprOpria-
ton can be made. This is liter
ally the referendum, and gives
the people a veto power ON the
commissioners. Another bill rass.
ed was one providing that when
culvertS or bridges could be con-
structed of concrete for not more
than one third of what steel
would cost, they must be built of
SUCH concrete or cement. This
IS to do away with the SOcalled
tim bridges" which have caus-
ed many counties much trouble.
MIR. Abrams was an influential
member of the house. Some years
ago he had been a member, so he
was not without experience. Com

The Emancipation of Playgoers DIV IIIVNIoV NTTT1 IND

Almost from the beginning, of the the atre in this country the cities and towns of the United States have bowed down in slavish worship to the verdict on a play given by New York city. One com munity in country populated by nearly 100, O00,000 has been accorded the position of dramatic arbiter. New York has been the hen that layed the dramatic egg, and the people west of Jersey City have eag- ery accepted that egg often in cold stor- age condition.
 But the situation is changing rapidly. Even now a Chicago run proves a more valuable asset to a play touring in the territory west of that city than a years agement on Broadway. The time will come when more distant communities will New York's nor Chicagos.
 At the beginning of the present season a musical comedy that has enjoyed a Chicago run, failed on Broadway. A few weeks ago it played to capacity for an entire week in Kansas City, and is draw ing very big business throughout the ter ritory contiguous to Chicago. Evidently the people of this territory are not inn pressed by the fact that this attraction proved a fiasco in New York
 do not mean to discount the value that accrues to New York or a Chicago run. The time will never come when small communities may be toured to fi- nancial advantage by a play that lacks a metropolitan reputation But New York has ceased to be the one metropolis that

You love after wards and marry. You have children; you learn to know the face of life and the mask of death; nevertheless, the mys- teries of your own person seem to be graven as it were on the brain tissues that were growing when you were grow ing. It is this sort of philosophy, if one may call 1t philosophy, that I have put into 'Rebecca.' She is herself the sum and substance of the memories of early years draped with the observation of later life. Her joys, her pranks, her tempestuous nature are the surface things that come with observation of the youth about me. Her deep heart of gold is the result of memory-a memory that carries one back to the time when the youthful outlook in life was filled with tenderness for all mankind and was made lovabe by pity for the suffering which crowded the heart.'

Commencing with special.

 From the manner in which the tick cts have been selling in advance, the Bijou will have two capacity au- diences Monday The people all seem anxious to witness a musical comedy as their Christmas amusement and one of the best that ever visited the Bijou this year or any other year is the offering of Manager Semon.
 1t seems needless to say that ev- cry seat will be sold at both performs ances, for Birmingham and the Bijou have the reputation of being the best Christmas show town on the Wells circuit and this season's exceptional attraction will make this fact doubly true.
