SEEKING INJUNCTION

The different railway companies
which are operating in the western
part of the state decline to accept the
new freight schedules which were
prepared by the state railway COM
mission after hearing complaints
from shippers as to heavy charges.
The roads have served notice upon
the commission that they will ask the
United States court to enjoin the put
ting into effect of the rates provided;
and will ask for temporary injunc-
ton at Sioux Falls. This will mean
another long drawn out suit over the
pay the freight will have to await the
outcome.

NEARY INVITED TROUBLE.

Because E. T.. Purdy protested
against the attempt of Hugh NearY
to conduct joint in rooms upon the
second floor of the Dotson undertake
ing establishment, the former was
assaulted by the latter Monday even
ing on lower Pierre street. Neary
knocked Purdy down, and shooting
followed by Purdy when he hastily
got back on his feet. Three shots
were fired by Purdy, all going wide
OF the fast fleeing mark. Police put
an end to the trouble in the second
act. Purdy was given a hearing
Tuesday morning; he was held to the
circuit court, and furnished an APP
pearance bond, the bond being fixed
at $500.
Mr.. Purdy, about January 20, re-
quested Mayor Mallory TO order the
police to close the place, but was in
formed by the mayor that he could
do nothing in the matter.

L. Myers, hitherto unknown outside
Of his country, was chosen. Tine
Missoula Daily Sentinel wired brief
description of the new senator, say
ing that while Meyers experience in
political life has been slight, his vote
IS state senator stamps him a pro-
gressive and an anti-big business
legislator. His closest friends think
that he will favor popular election OF
United States senators, federal con-
troll of large corporations and Canad-
ian reciprocity. He was during cam
paigns Bryan supporter, and is now
regarded as the leading Bryan en-
thusiast in the state.

Some Good Points.
ocrat.

A bit of cool, sane advice is intro duced into the report of the state in- spector of Mines of Idaho for the year 1910, which report has recently been issued in pamphlet form. Mining is different. yet like other lines of busi- ness, in that only the best success may be attained when the man in charge is trained to his work. This is particu- larly true with a mine, for it is sim pie matter to spend money unwisely More than one promising prospect company has been wrecked through this lack of foresight, the placing of it's operations in charge of a man who may be thoroughly honest in every way. yet lacking in the practical ex- perience which would enable him to judge as to the best method of hand ling the property.
 Comment is made upon this fact in the report, and, also, attention is called to another matter that some times causes the failure of a company. Proximity to a valuable property, the report outlines, does not necessarily indicate that its neighbors have an equal prospective value. One claim may be a producer, yet an adjoining property may prove worthless; though there are many instances known where nearby properties have been found to contain extensions of a prov en ore body For this reason, the

The Inspiration Drills Are Fast.

Most of the electric equipment to be used for the haulage system of the h. spiration mine has arrived and it is probable that with it's installation the working force will be increased to a considerable extent.
 The generator and two electric loco motives and all other essential integers of the contemplated system has ar rived at Miami, and the Ball high speed engine that will be employed to drive the generator has been shipped by the manufacturers and should be here within a few days. A 36-inch lathe also has been shipped. The work of installing the machinery and stringing the trolley wires will be begun immediately.
 Very little underground work is being done at the property at present although the vicinity of the Colorado shaft is the scene of considerable activity. From the shaft a drift is being driven east from above the pocket at the 5OO-foot level, on what is known as the 335O-foot level. the levels in this mine being estimated by their height above sea level.
 During the month of April the churn drills on the Inspiration prop erty broke all previous records, the total for four drills being 5O93 feet. One machine made record of 2,6OO feet, the next best 1,647 feet, the next

US. Smelling G
 Mining Report.

The United States Smelling, Refin- ing & Mining Co.,, in it's annual report for the year ending Dec. 3l, shows gross earnings of 3,73S.541s, which is about 4OO,OOOs less than the earnings shown in I9O9 Net profits for 1910 were ?, 2,4S4 4,3lSS. compared to 3,136. .36Os in 1909.
 The company produced 2S,430, 900 pounds of copper, 51, 45O,OOO pounds lead, 10, 776,OOO ounces silver and ll3,- 246 ounces gold.
 President w. G. Sharp in his re- marks says:
 "Your company acquired during the year 473 additional shares of stock of subsidiary companies. Tbe total num- Der of preferred stockholders of your company is 7,567 and of common stock holders 2,2S2 at this date.
 "The deduction in the consolidated earnings statement of 1,O67, ,O68S, pro- vided out of earnings for depreciation, improvement and betterment and re serves, includes an arbitrary deprecia- tion and also additions of a permanent nature. This amount compares with SlO, PAYS provided out of earnings for similar purposes in the preceding year. The amount charged to improvement and betterment, and being provided for out of earnings, included the cost of the baghIuse at JIe Mammoth Copper Mining Co.'s smelter in Cali fornia; additions to the smelling plant at Mdvale, Utah; saw mill, power plant, pumping and electric haulage plants at the Centennial-Eureka mine, and permanent improvements in Mex ico, including installation of pumps and electrical equipment and haulage systems"
 Tne re shipped from the Centen- nial-Eureka mine during the year amounted to 9O,4l9 tons. The shelter at Midvale, Utah, operated continu- ously throughout the year. At the mines of the Mammoth Copper Mining Co. the extraction of the ore amounted to 33O, ,633 tons. There were extracted from the Quartz Hill mine, which the Mammoth Copper Mining Co. holds under a lease, 22,OSO tons.

The Famous White Swan.

In accounting the history of mines and mining in Baker county, no prop erty, perhaps, occupies a more promi- nent part in the story than does the old White Swan mine, east of Baker, a property around which has centered more pyrotechnics and hot air during one chapter of its career than any other mine in the West.
 Discovered about 20 years ago at the head of placer claims by two prospect ors, Messrs. George s. Tarbell and William Mulkey, who afterwards asso- ciated themselves with Samuel Bais- ley and others in the organization of the White Swan Mining company, the White Swan mine was put into con- mission for big operations. A To- stamp mill was erected and a deep shaft sunk, from which high-grade ore was extracted and run through the mill, yielding a big monthly output for several years, all those interested being made wealthy for time.
 Later the property went through the vicissitudes that have so often fall en to the lot of gold mines, and opera tions ceased. It changed hands, but to no purpose. Mir. Dan French of this city became owner about two years ago, and he gave bond and option of purchase to Mr. Charles F. Soderling of Spokane, who organized a new com pany under the name of the Susan D. Mines company, and the mine at this time is under practical development under the superintendency of Mir. George T. Cullen.
