FRENCH PETE
SELLS MIN E
Portland Parties Take Coeur
d'Alene Group.

Several days ago Peter Proulx
better known as French Pete
went to Spokane to close a deal
for the Coeur d'Alene group of
claims in the Ten Mile district.
From what can be learned the
first payment was made and the
parties are now in possession of
the property. 1t is rumored that
one of the first things the pur-
chasers will do is to build a
wagon road from the river to the
mine, so they can install machi-
merry. The vein is developed by
a tunnel in some 1900 feet.

Activity Commenced on
Mineral Zone.
WORK WILL BE RUSHED
Plans Being Made for Milling
Ore.

AS was announced last week,
Mrs. M. A. Parr has sold the
Mineral Zone group of claims to
J. R. Painter, of Philadelphia,
who upon completing the deal,
Immediately commenced active
development work, and now has
three shifts sinking a prospect
shaft.
The shaft is being sunk near
the middle of the ore shoot, and
in the foot wall, the vein being
used as a hanging wall. The
work is in charge of Arthur
Hitler, who has had a great deal
of experience in this country.
AS soon as the shaft is we'll under
way, other work is planned,
which will employ a large force
of men.
While nothing definite is
known at present, it is under
stood that Mr.. Painter is making
arrangements to treat the ore
that will be taken out during de
velopment work, and it is quite
possible that ore will be taker
out for the purpose of milling.

Tho Roman Forum.

From the age of Tiberius to that of
Constantine the history Of the Roman
forum is represented, says Professor
Lqnciani by four great fires followed
by three great restorations. The first
was that of Nero in 65. The second
was that of Titus in S0 The third was
in the reign of Commodus, se1. The
fourth took place in 2S3. in the days of
Carinus. A century later occurred the
abolition of pagan worship, which is
mentioned as the first incident in the
destruction of the forum. Yet the
place was in a tolerabIe degree of pres
ervation as late as the beginning OF
the sixth century.

iournment time to tender to
Colonel Roosevelt the nomination
of a new party, the 18th republl-
can national convention at the end
of a long and tumultops session
renominated VIM. H. Taft, OF
Ohio, for president and James S.
Sherman of New York for vice
president.
President Taft received SCI OF
the 1918 votes in the convention,
or 81 more than a majority;
Roosevelt 106, LaFollette AZ,
Cummins II, Hughes 2, absent 6,

The. decision Of the Roosevelt
people under direction of theil
leader, to refrain from voting
left no other candidate near the

groans from the opposition.

& I. N. is thus to become an i'm
portant link in the main line of

1t has come to light, according
to our informant, that ]. ]. Hill
played one of the shrewdest
games of his life, and has prac-
tical control of the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific, North
western and Burlington roads,
which makes him easily the
greatest power in the whole rail-
road world.
1t is known that Hill recently
let go of a great deal of Northern
Pacific stock and he secured a
good block of Northwestern
stock. 1t is developing that
friends of Hill took over his
Northern Pacific stock, thus
keeping this road under Hills
control, and developments are
proving that Hill and his friends
secretly devised plans for secur-
ing control of the Northwestern,
and are successful in this accom-
plishment.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Screening tests on mill samples
can only be made accurately by
the wet method. The slime
should be washed through 200
mesh screen, after which the
oversize can be dried and screen
ed with comparative ease. A
small amount of material under
2OO-mesh will be obtained in the
final screening, and this should
be added and weighed with the
dried slime.
Adverse CLAIMS may be filed
against any kind of a mineral
entry by another mineral location
whether of the same class or not;
though where the classes of loca-
tions are at variance the adverse
may take on the nature Of pro-
test, as in the case Of lode
claim advertising a millsite and
questioning its non-mineral
character. Claimants under
filings or entries other than min
eral, instead of advertising mineral
applications, protest against
them. A co-owner who has been
excluded from the application for
patent by the co-owners, may ad-
verse in his own behalf, but his
adverse is more in the nature of
a protest.
Direct air-hoists are simple in
action, responding with ideal
promptness to valve manipulation
for either motion, but their SIM
plicity and promptness seems to
be in excess. They may hoist
too quickly and may not stop the
load at the precise point desired,
while a careless hand may drop
the load too sharply. Such a
hoist also, when the air is shut
off, will not hold its load contin-
uously, slight leakage allowing a
! slow descent-extremely slow, it
everything is all right-but still
it cannot hold absolutely. The
motor hoist has more than all OF
the desirable properties and none
of these objections. 1t is entirely
responsive to the control of its
manipulation. 1t will hoist at any
speed desired; it will stop with
precision; it will hold its load ab-
; solutely for any length of time;
it will lower gently and will not
run down to make unnecessary
slack to be taken up before the
! next hoist.

Big Changes in Southern
Part of State.
BRING NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD
May Be Activity This Summer
on Salmon River,

A great many rumors in rail-
road circles lately, have caused a |
number of reliable reports" to
be circulated. Among the latest
is the following from the Lemhi
Herald.
From a source that has proven
unusually reliable, it is learned
that the great railroad program
by the Hartman and Hill systems
includes two main line railroads
in the not far distant future for
Boise, the using Of the P. l. & N.
as link in the main line of the
Hill system, assuring a north and
south railroad for Idaho, and
other developments of a highly
important character.
According to the information
just obtained, the Oregon Short
Line will in the near future
(much sooner than the 0. S. l..
itself had mapped out) put Boise
on the main line by completing
what is commonly known as the
Owinza-Payette cutoff. This
cutoff is now built on Camas
Prairie, east of Boise to Soldier.
1t is known that the @. S. L. has
changed its original plan of put
ting down light steel rails on this
track from Richmond west to
Soldier, and ordered heavier steel
put down. This heavier steel is
of sufficient weight to accommo-
date main line trains. This track
is built through Boise and on to
Emmett, where connection is to
be made with the Payette Valley
railroad, which runs through the
heart of the famous Payette
valley, and connection is to be
made with the Ontario-Vale-Bro-
gan branch. From Brogan the
Hartman system will be extend
ed northwest through the famous
John Day country. This route
from Owinza through Boise,
Emmett, Brogan and on to Port
land not only is a shorter one
than the present route, but ii
cuts out the heavy King Hill anC
Medbury hills in Idaho, and the
very heavy grade over the Blue
mountains in Oregon.
The compelling influence that
is causing the O. S. L. to put
Boise on the main line, accord
ing to this informant, is the
Northwestern railroad which is
behind the mysterious Gilmore &
Pittsburg road.
The Idaho Northern, which i:
being pushed through Long val.
= ley to Payette lake with all pos
sible vigor and speed, is to bt
rushed through to Butte, so it i:
