SlEIGHING LAST WINTER.
It Began November IL and Continued
1928 DAYS.

Last winter was rather exceptional
in one particular-there was steady
sleighing for a period of over four
months here in Wallace and in the
valley portion of the Occur dAlenes.
Always there is considerable sleighing
in winter, for this is very much of a
snow country, but often there are
melting periods. when the snow entire
ly disappears in the valley and south
slopes, and 1t Is necessary to change
all sorts of vehicles from runners to
wheels, and vice versa with more
snow. Sometimes these enforced
changes are numerous during the
winter But there was none of it last
winter. What will be this winter re-
mains to be seen. Up to this time
there is no snow to remain on the
ground except in the hills.
Last winter, according to the best
data available at Sutherlands livery
barn, where many rigs are cared for.
both for the stable and for boarders,
everything was put on runners Nov
ember IL. 1912, and no change was
made till March IS or 20, 1913, con-
tinueous stretch Of 1875 or 1913 days.

LEAvINGS OF OLD SHELTER.
Hall a Million Left on Site at Argen'
tine, Kan.

The site Of the old Argentine, Kan,
smelter was recently purchased by a
structural steel company for $4,000.
Since then the new owners have taken
out of the ground 100000 in gold, sill
yer and lead, and 1t looks like they
would clean up that amount net or
more. The old consolidated smelter
was one Of the largest plants in the
country. Many car of Occur d'Alene
ore has found its way there. I'll was
dismantled for economical reasons, In
the 20 years of its operation it is esti
mated that fully 100000 in precious
metals were lost incident to the reduc
ton of the ores Most of these We're
carried off through the flues to be
scattered in such iniinestimal guam
ties over the surrounding land that No
profitable method for recovering them
can be devised The remainder was
lost through leakage, absorption or in
the form Of droppings which We're
swept out Of the buildings. 1t is from
these sweepings and from the wreck
age Of the old retorts that the steel
company has realized so handsomely
on its investment

EAGLE MOUNTAIN

The Eagle Mountain Mining COM
pany, most of the stock OF which Is
held in this city, is doing considerable
development work on group OF seven
claims loacted near the head of Pros
pect creek, Montana, about ten miles
from Thompson Falls. Two and pos
sibly three established leads pass
through the ground. One of these mas

known as the Bullion or Mint mas

The owners of the Eagle Mountain re-
gard it as probable that they have the

The Eagle Mountain group Is locat

company is temporarily handicapped
by not having tunnel site on Its own
ground. Adolph Haupt of this city Is

THE METAL MARKET.
Lower Prices Matter of Serious Con-
Germ to Operators.

The steady decline in the prices Of
lead, zinc and copper, while attribut-
ed largely to the unsettled financial
system of the country and uncertain
ty as to what the ultimate system -
TO be- is nevertheless matter OF
serious concern not alone 10 producers
of those metals in the Occur d'Alene
district but to all others dependent
upon the mining industry. 1t Is pre-
sumed that the senate Will lose no
but until its final passage a revival
of prices is hardly to be expected. Bni
there is another element which enters
into the metal situation. The country
Is undertaking to do business under
q tariff law radically different from
that to which 1t has been accustomed
for many years. That means that
business Is being adjusted to the new
basis. The great industries must slow
up to some extent and feel their way
until the effects Of the new law Is
proved by experience The cautloh

sarlly is transmitted to the people, ana

TO PLANT MORE TREES.
Forestry Service Preparing Placer

Under the supervision of w. W.
Morris, men are now engaged in
blocking out and classifying the
ground on both sides of Placer creek
from the dam to the summit. AS soor
as the snow disappears in the spring
the work of planting will begin, the
classification showing what land Is
favorable for growing trees and that
which is unfavorable. The trees to b.
planted will be Douglas fir larch, yell
low and white pine.
L. c. Pulaski, the local representa-
