THE CoEUR D'ALENES NEEDS
ADVERTISING.

On another page Of The Miner Is
statement from d. c.. Nicholson,
well known mining operator OF the
camp, on the lack of total absence Of
any sort Of advertising matter for the
Occur d'Alenes. This was brought
forcibly to Mr.. Nicholson's attention
on a recent trip to Iowa, Illinois and
other nearby states. He found many
people willing to fairly consider min
ing propositions, but he had to COM
nence at the very beginning in i'm
parting information OF the Occur
d'Alenes. for many had never heard
of the camp at all and few had even
small knowledge of it's resources and
possibilities. Bit these same people
we're quite well informed Of the land
projects all around US.
The fact is that we are doing moth
ing in the way Of advertising the
Occur d'Alenes. There are so many
things concerning the camp that can
be said M perfect truth. facts which
should he known to the thousands and
millions of people who seek invest
ment opportunities.
or all the mining camps OF the west
this is second in point Of production.
Butte is first, but the life OF even the
Butte mines is not known and proved
to be as great as that of some OF the
Occur d'Alene mines.
1t is true that there have been few
or failures and more successes in min
ing in the Occur d'Alenes than in any
other camp in the west
1t is true also that there has been
more money made compared with the
amount spent in mining in this camp
than in any other in the west.
And il is further true that the op-
portunities to make more money mere
and to make new mnies is just as good
as II ever was.
But if these things are locked up
and people generally do not know OF
them nobody is benefited and II Is
much more difficult for individuals 10
do business.
The making of new mines is sub
iect always important. Much couio
be accomplished by the systematic
distribution Of good literature descr'p-
tive Of the camp. In the matter OF ad-
yertising every little irrigation pro-
iect in the west has us badly beat.

ANOTHER NEW STATE.

az making new counties there would
be lots of business doing just now. But
it isn't The Idaho legislature. for
instance, was active in building new
counties, but made no Roadway in
helping the Spokane scheme to make
the new state of Lincoln. Few locali-
ties get all they want from the state,
but that is no valid reason for break
ing away from the whole combination
and getting into something probably
much worse. Maybe it's possible to
get more by going after it harder.
Like Spokane, Grand Junction, Colo,
is a would-be state capital Here is
a wall from the Colorado city which
sounds quite natural:
western Colorado is to make an
other attempt to pull away from the
rest of the state. 1t is planned now
and the movement has already taken
root among the commercial bodies
to ask congress to create new state
from eastern Utah and western Colo
RADIO.
1.-THE chief reason for the present
movement, is the belief that the east
ern slope and Denver, in particular,
monopolizes all the state funds to the
exclusion Of the western slope. East
ern Utah counties make the same
complaint against Salt Lake City and
ties have agreed to cooperate with
Grand Junction, Montrose and other
cities in an effort to present the mat
ter in proper light before congress
geographically, it is claimed. that
there is ample room for the establish
ment of new state to take In the
plains and valleys west of the Con-
tinental divide and up to the desert In
Utah. Proponents Of the plan con-
tend that the interests of the proposed
new state are identical, being almost
entirely horticultural and agricultural.
Grand Junction, naturally, is TAX
ing the lead in the present movement
because of the expectation Of becom-
ing the capital Of the new state when
It is created. Also. local people claim
they have been Disseminated against
In the matter Of appropriations, as
have other western slope towns.
"All the state institutions are on the
eastern slope and Grand Junction was
even denied a $4,000 appropriation
for the Indian school property which
it was hoped to convert into horti-
cultural and forestry college,"

DOING GOOD WORK.

Robert N. Bell. Idaho's inspector Of
Mines Is doing much good work for
the state, not only in his direct off,
cial capacity. for which he displays
unusual fitness, but in broader field
which tends to bring united efforts
for advancement of the states inter-

Recently at gathering Of Boise
citizens he said:

THE OUTLOOK is FINE.

From all parts Of the Occur dAiene
district come reports of success and
announcement as the result of extern
sive development work. There Is
lesson in all this that should not be
lost on stockholders in the embryo
mines of this district. 1t generally
takes much time and money to open
up ore bodies, but If the physical con-
ditions are right and the management
is in honest and in capable hands, the
stakeholder should not be discourage
ed. Persistency and intelligent WORK
will be rewarded. The past few weeks
have witnessed strikes in some of the
Oldest locations Of the district, while
the demand for stock In others indl-
cate that the knowing ones are pre-
pairing to profit by expected strikes IN
others. The lesson is, be sure that

money raised by assessment or other
wise Is being expended for the bene-
AZ of the owners in the legitimate de-

throughout the Occur d'Alenes. busi-
ness is good in all lines and the pre-
diction Is freely made by those pest

the district has ever known. All the
big mines are running at full capac-
ity and are reaching out for more
ground, indicating that the managers,
who are in close touch with the lead
market, confidently expect contin-
ued demand for all the lead that can
be produced, at good prices.
Then there is the zinc, the produce
ton Of which is rapidly assuming
large proportions in the Occur d'Alene
district The problem of saving the
zinc values in the different forms in
which it appears is being rapidly solv-
ed. with the result that properties in
which the chief value Is zinc, and
which for years have been idle be-
cause there was no known process to
successfully treat the ore, are now and
will continue to increase the mineral
output or the district. In fact, the
success that has been achieved In
handling zinc ore. in view Of the vast
known deposits covering wide area
OF the district, justifes the prediction
that the output Of zinc from the Occur
dAlenes will at no distant day rival
that Of lead.
The prospect for a large and perma
nent increase in the production of cop
! per is another factor that adds to the
! brightness of the outlook in the Coeul
d'Alenes Most encouraging reports
come from the copper belt. and devel.
opment work has demonstrated be-
yond question the existence Of vast
deposits of copper ore which is certain

POOR TRADING.

Dispatches announce that Mine In
spector Bell intends to fight for the
reopenlng Of the case by which the
state Of Idaho exchanged public schOo,
lands embraced in section Is and SO
for compact body of land in south
eastern Idaho. And 1t is stated fur
Their in the Boise dispatch that he ex-
poets the assistance Of the mining as
sociations.
He should receive all necessary CO.
operation and help. At this distance,
and with the facts so far as available,
1t seems that the land authorities of
Idaho have done a great harm to the
children and public school interests of
Idaho. In fact. it looks like the gov
eminent conservation theorists had
gotten almost everything of perman-
ent value from the state at the ex-
pense of the schools
As the deal stands. the state has
traded about half a million acres Of
scattered school land, most of 1t min
eral land, and has given an absolute
title to it, title to the surface and
everything else it contains.
On the other hand we have accepted
from the government in the trade
100000 acres of sage brush land-that
is, we get only the surface rights to
this land, and permit the government
to reserve the valuable phosphate de-
posts underlying.
The trade was consummated during
the closing days Of the last state ad-
ministration.
In the opinion Of Inspector Bell and
other capable men, Idahos phos-
pilates, which possess great merit as
a fertilizer, is one of the most valu-
able assets Of the state. 1t appear re-
like we had been duped into giving II
away.
To give up all the rights to what
the state transfers and to permit the
government to retain the most valu-
able interest In what II transfers to
the state will not strike the average
man as being common sense work.
There should be no lack of assist
ance to Inspector Bell.
