SEVEN MILLION FEET
OF Pine TO Be CUT
DURING THE WINTER
AS MANY MEN EMPLOYED IN THE
LUMBER OPERATIONS IN THE
COUNTY AS IN MINES.
One Concern. the Springston Lumber
Company, Will Handle the Entire
Cut-Last Year for Getting Pine
From Burned Over Areas.

Few residents of the mining sectior
of Shoshone county realize the mag
nitude Of the lumber operations now
being carried on within the county. Al
| this season of the year there are fullN
as many men employed IN the various
logging camps as are now employed in
the mines. ON Pine creek the number
| Is about equal.
There will be more logs cut on the
,reeh this winter than in all the years
| previous, The amount will reach near
| y 1000, 900 feet, aud the entire cut is
| 10 be taken by the Springston Lumber
company, whose mill is located at
Springston, Idaho, three miles from
harrison. The .companys interests on
the creek are being looked after by
Harry Harding, who also does the
scaling Mr.. Harding states that there
are IA different outfits putting the logs
on Pine creek and its tributaries. The
largest logger is Mr.. Gilliland whose
| camp is on the east fork of Pine creek
lie will cut something over 1000, 900
feet The second largest logger is
cut will be little less than 1000, 900
feet
Twothirds of the timber being cut
is white pine and a considerable part
the forest fires two years ago The
price paid by the Springston company
for white pine is so per thousand on
the bank: Yellow pine brings IS and
mixed 81 per thousand The timber
is not large, which will make the driv-
ing easy. 1t will average about T.
logs to the thousand. Mr. Harding
states that this Is the last season in
which white pine can be cut in the
burnt over areas and the result will
be that vast amounts Of timber will
go to waste.
Alex Mcleod has the contract for
the driving of the logs in the spring
from the Springston company. He will
drive them as far as Enaville where
the logs will be picked up by the
larger drives. Last week he put :;
force of men to work clearing out the
channel Of the cast fork so as to make
driving easy. Mr.. Brooks has just
finished the clearing out of the wes
fork. Heretofore the logging was
confined mostly to the lower creek anC
this is in good shape for driving.

ALL WALLACE ATE TURKEY.

The express shipments of dressed
turkeys to Wallace within the last few
days, so close around Thanksgivinf
that they could be said to be due
ihis occasion amounted to little NOR
than six tons or 1900 pounds. A few
ducks and geese may have been in
cluded in the shipments for Thanks
giving purposes they count as tur.
keys.
In addition to the express shipment,
IF dressed fowls a great many liv'
birds were received. Taking all at ;
conservative estimate, there were be
tween one and half and two turkey
for each family in Wallace. The pric,
was 81 cents pound as against 81
cents a pound last year. If the ulti-
mate consumer felt inclined to kick nt
the price, he had one small crurnb ol
consolation in the thought that prac
tically every turkey, goose and duel
sold in Wallace this year was an Ida
no product. Most of them were shin.
ped in from the lower part of the stats
where the poultry business is exten.
sive and profitable.

one of the most important things
accomplished at the fifteenth session
of the American Mining congress was
the formation of the Lead and Zine

and that is expected to accomplish
much in the future for these two

launching was successfully accom-
pished and Coeur d'Alene mining men
are gratified to note that the district is
given much consideration in the selec-
ton Of the first officers. II. +. Samu-
els was elected president of the asso-
citation and James +. Mccarthy was
chosen as the member of the board of
directors from Idaho.
The association is independent, but
is really part of the American Mining
congress. It's annual meetings will be
held with the congress and the two
bodies will cooperate to secure the
benefits for which the congress was or
ganized.

ary secretary, respectively, Mr.. Sam
uels and Mr.. Mccarthy presided over
the preliminary meeting held In the
Arrnory building in Spokane on No
vember q. A committee was appoint
ed composed of prominent mining men
from various parts of the United States
to formulate plan for permanent or
ganization. The. committee reported
and definite action was taken at 9

Mining Congress Is BIamod for Falling
OF in Sales of Stock on the

The report of the Spokane stock ex-
change for November shows marked

tainment of the delegates
The total ira nsfers were 142,2O9
shares, valued at $S569S as against
25O,620 shares valued at $4S,39S in

less by approxim ately 10000 shares.

but 200 transfers in October, led the
list with 3O.50O shares and the next
highest was Idora Hill with 10000
Marsh was third with $4,000; Gale
donia fourth with 1900 and Gertic
nth with 10.S32. Nabob qualified for
sixth place with 10000 and Snowstorm

Smelter following with 2O,075. Marsh
was third with $4OS2 aud Rambler
Cariboo fourth with $3.50, while the
remainder fell below $4,000.

Copeland has made a complete con-
fession and even aided the officers in
every way, after his whereabouts

weakness for the opposite sex that led
to his discovery. In Wallace he was
supposed to be man of family, but
in Santa Rosa he cultivated the ac-
quaintance of a young lady to whom
he represented himself to be single
man. Her mother was suspicious and
wrote to the authorities here to get
his record Before taking any steps
to supply the information the Sho-
shone officers sent a message TO Santa
Rosa that resulted in Copeland's ar.
rest. Sheriff Maher left a few days
ago to get his man.

and hopes to begin serving out the
sentence imposed soon. He Is alleged
to have passed check for S25 on the
J. W. Tabor company just as he was
