MINING CONDITIONS AROUND MURRAY
SOME DETAILS Of WELL KNOWN MINES
IN GOLD, DELAYED-MLLlNG TERRIBLE EDITH
ANNUAL WORK WELL LOOKED AFTER
tWrittcn by Adam Aulbach of Murray

The conditions around Murray in
dicate a very quiet winter The pro-
ducing mines have practically all
ceased operation for the season. Even
the Terrible Edith is resting afte.
shipping crude ore for nearly three
years, both zinc and lead. The rniae
is at present reported to have a inc
showing Of Mill feed in the Slopes,
but the clean ore Is not SO plentiful
al formerly, aud to hand sort ii en-
tails too much expense. Hence Mana
ger Snyder has determined to await
better prices than prevail for the time
being. especially in zine, before resum-
ing shipments, unless more clean ore
can be shown up IN development work
that may be done during the winter.
The mine has a very large dump Of
mill feed, the refuse from ore sorting
of the past two years, but this can-
not be drawn upon until a conccn-
traitor Is erected Some considered tiGr
has been given to this necessary ad
iunct to a lead zinc mine, but the
writer has not heard Of the progress
being made in that direction.

INTEREST IN
MINING IS EVIDENT
NERVOUSNESS GENER.
ALLY GOOD.

Charles i. Ruddy recently returned
from IA trip to eastern points, where
he went principally on affairs con-
nected with mining. He visited the
two Dakotas, Chicago and points III
Wisconsin.
Times are good wherever l went,
said Mr.. Ruddy, land there was gem
eral expression to this effect. Busi
ness was good everywhere, and saw
much evidence of prosperity"
Asked as to the present view of
mining held by the people Of the east
with whom he came in contact, MI
Rudy said there was not only mani
fest interest but there was voluntary
inquiry as to mining conditions and
chances for safe and profitable in
vestment.
Il found the feeling as to mining
vastly different from that saw four
or five years ago when on triI
through those sections" said Mr. R,ld
dy.
Mr.. Ruddy was among the earliest
pioneers on the South Fork of tho
Occur d'Alene river and has been
closely identified with the develop
ment of this section ever since.

Elsewhere In this issue Will be seen
notice to the stockholders OF the
Caledonia Mining company calling for
a meeting December 1. The purpose,
according to the notice, Is to consider
"the increase of the capital stock of
said company from $1,5O0,0oO divided
into 100000 shares Of the par value
Of $1Oo each. to $2,605O0O, divided in
to 100000 shares, of the par value Of

Notice Is further given that at said
meeting there will be called up for the
approval of the stockholders the ac-
ton of the board Of directors OF the
company in entering into and author

Nine Mile railroad Andy Anderson
with a dozen big draft horses from
the Hercules, will haul them to the
Interstate. On account Of the better
roads he will pull them over the Nine
Mile Murray wagon road to the juno
ton OF the Sixteen-to-On road. and
over the latter across the divide to the
mine and mill on East Nine Mile.
Twelve four horse teams are haul
ing heavy loads of ore and freight oe-
tween the Nine Mile railroad terminus
and the Interstate mine, and the road
is necessarily cut up to some extent
Another reason for taking the longe'
route with the heavy loads IS to avoid
passing teams and interference with
the ore and freight traffic

PUBLIC WORK WHICH

RATE BENEFICIAL MOVE
MENTS--PANAMA FAIR.

The visit Of Major Fred r. Reed
and r. c. Beach last Friday and their
meeting with our people at the Eks
club and in the parlors Of the Samuels
were highly important to the county
and the Occur d'Alene mining district
and the work which they were here to
inaugurate will no doubt be energetlc-
ally taken mp and eventually result
in much lasting benefit to all concern
ed.
No two men in Idaho better qualified
to handle the questions they have in
hand could have been chosen.
Mr. Beach is president of the state
association of commercial clubs. His
mission here and over the state Is IN
the interest of good roads and to bring
about concerted action on all pubic
matters by the commercial organiza-
tions of Idaho Mr. Beach Is n sue
cessfu business man Of the highest
standing. Beginning years ago In
small business at Lewiston, he is to-
day at the head of the largest COM
mercial establishment in that city. He
is also at the head of the largest busi-
ness establishment in Twin Falls, IN
southern Idaho. And these are among
the best cities in Idaho. He is cap
able man in every respect.
Major Reed Is particularly wen
equipped for his work. He holds the
position of immigration commissioners
of Idaho, for which Office unfortun-
ately. the state legislature failed to
provide maintenance, now that It is In
hands where genuine good would nave
resulted. But Major Reed is also
Idaho's commissioner for the Panama
exposition, for which event ample ap-
proprlation has been made, and 1t IS 10
this work-the proper representation
of Idaho's resources and products at
San Francisco--that he is at present
devoting his time and energies
Major Reed Is pleasing public
speaker, always fitting the occasion.
In his talk to Wallace business men
he stated that he had been 35 years
resident, of Idaho and expected TO 'pe
here the remainder of his ailotted
time. He showed thorough familiarity
with every part Of the state.

,av lumber or the stock business. He
will not overlook the vast mineral re-
sources of the central part OF the
state. and showed much familiarity
with the possibilities there.
More prominent than any other man
has been Major Reeds connection with
the great irrigation projects Of south
Idaho Ho talked most interestingly
of these and Of future projects. Many
of his hearers had more or less direct
knowledge of these.
The trip Of both these gentlemen 70

One of the most important mining
deals that has taken place in the
Coeur d'Alenes for a long time past
was consummated at meeting of the
stockholders of the Tuscumbia Min
ing company held at the Samuels ho-
tel in this city a few nights ago. 1t
involves the taking over of the Tus-
cumbia holdings by the ldora coln-
pany. These two properties are
among the best known and most ex-
tensively developed in the. Sunset dis
trict.

Nothing could be more natural and
advisable than the consolidation Of
these two properties. They arc a.

SOUTH OF SALTESE
SECTION OF GREAT PROMISE
WHICH SHIPPED SEVERAL
CARLOADS RECENTLY.

George Sparenberg, a well known

months in the copper district seven
miles south OF Saltese, on the Mon
tana Idaho divide He has been work
ing on the st. Lawrence, in company
with Angus Sutherland, owner Of the
property.

said Mr. Sparenberg, "and with more
favorable opening and better facilities
for handling the work and the output
it has good future. And these
things are likely to be at hand in the
no distant future"
Heidenrich Ships Good Ore.
Mr.. Sparenberg stated that Charles
Heidenrich. who has been developing
in the district for a good many years,
lately shipped carload of ore from
the Richmond There were 3S tons
in the shipment and it gave returns
of 80 per cent copper and $3.50 per
ton gold. This was taken from drifts
from a shaft of so and 100 feet deep.
The Richmond joins the st Lawrence
,, on the west and covers the divide De-
tween the states. The Monitor lies
north of both properties and joins
/ them.
Mr. Heidenrich is driving a tunnel
to tap the Richmond ledge on the Log
Cabin claim. This tunnel will eventu-
| ally be extended under the present
known Richmond ore shoot and viii
reach it at considerable depth.
| Long Monitor Tunnel.
SHOULD the Monitor long tunnel
! be rum" said Mr.. Sparenberg, 'it
would, with slight extension, furnish
splendid development for both the st
Lawrence and Richmond. 1t would
open these latter properties at 1900 t.
/ 1900 feet depth, and deliver the out
put of all on logging spur of the
Milwaukee railroad The Monitor tun-
incl is being seriously considered and
there is every good reason why u

Game and Fish Abundant.
The camp of the st. Lawrence ana
the mine itself are located on a be-
autifu mountain lake, the head Of
Silver creek, which flows into the 81
Regis seven miles north at Saltese
The lake covers probably IL or j.
acres and is of great depth. Trout
are abundant in 1t. Mr.. Sparenberf
said that in very few minuets hE
could land supply of them for sew
eral days. There were plenty of grou 50

are three things TO remember about
stage dancing-it consists of tempo. a
trick step and bit of acting to catch
the eye In comedy dancing like mine
the tempo Is very quick-whirlingl

one another. Then there is the trick

to make it go with the audience.

They are probably wondering all

ALLOW FOR FREEDOM
Take a refined position that leaves
at least foot OF space between the
partners and allows for freedom OF
motion. Holding your partner too
closely not only makes the dance sug-

"HE new school of turkey trotting
has brought into existence two
groups of rabid partisans: those
who do the dance and know how
jolly is the dancing. and those who
look on and see how shocking Is the
prancing. And meanwhile turkey
trotting is so earnestly done that it
seems in a fair way to be done to
death-and fallow field for humor-
lists will thus become sterile and bar
rem of little jokes like the famous:
"she is more trotted against than
trotting"
In our age of specialization. turkey
trotting is not sufficiently specialized.
and every little freak step that wrig-
giles its way into life masquerades
under the one name or that of some
barnyard or manageric relative.
There IS a brighter side to turkey
trotting; there is possibility of hav-
ing it become a dance as well regu-
lated as the two step. and yet free to
express the true dancing JOY of liv-
ing Of the partners who merrily whiri
