A GREAT STRIKE
ON THE NORTH SIDE
THE MONARCH MINE THE SCENE
OF THE LATEST AND MOST
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

| According to a report received from
Murray, which is regarded as perfect
ly reliable, a wonderful showing of
ore has been opened up in the Mon
arch mine. This Is the property
formerly controlled by f. p. Spading,
but Is now in the hands of a receiver.
The mine Is now being worked under
lease and this latest development
gives solid basis for the belief
that the property will soon be in posi-
ton to pay up all Indebtedness and
then enrich its owners who have ad-
vanced so much money for It's de-
velopment.
The strike that has just been re-
ported was made in a shaft that Is
being sunk on the vein from the main
tunnel. At depth Of about thirty
five feet from the tunnel level II
Is reported to show two feet of
shipping ore andflve of milling ore of
good grade. The strike is by far the
most important that has been made in
many months on the north side, and
the psogress of its further exploration
viii be watched with great interest

SHOULD AID AL
ASkA.

Since its purchase by the United
States. Alaska has produced and sent
TO the states upward of s200.O00.O0o
lin gold; $15o00000 Of silver. copper
and other minerals: $1G5.000.0 900 worth
Of fish: $75,oo0,O00 worth of f,rs, or
n total of over $l7o,0oo,ooQ. Last year
it produced and sent to the United
states over $l7,OOO,0o0 in gold stS,
900, coo in fish; s5,0ooo0o Of copper
and other products, total of over
40,00O.000. Last year over $50, 900
900 worth of merchandise was bought
by Alaska from the states.
What stronger argument--made by
Falcoln Joslyn. chairman Of the
Alaskan Committee Of the American
Mining Congress, before the COM
mitties on territories Of the L. S,
Senate--could be offered Of Alaska's
great need when it is remembered
that all the above was accomplished
with only 37i miles Of railroad in
operation.
Whether the government builds
and operates the roads or whether u
be done by private corporation with
government aid, matters but little to
Alaska people. The real need is
means If transportation whereby the
rich mineral and agricultural lands
within its 100000 square miles can
be developed.

A STAGE LINE
TO THE INTERSTATE
ROAD SHOULD BE IMPROVED TO
MEET THE INCREASING DE-
MANDs or THE DISTRICT.

The growing Importance Of the up
per Nine Mile and Sunset was clearly
indicated this week by the establish
ment of daily stage line between
this city and the Interstate Callahan
mine. This enterprise was inaugerat-
ed by the City Transfer company. and
emphasizes the suggestion made In

profitable investment for the busi
moss ner of this city to give tina ancial
aid - the construction Of s ,od

the Success. there are probably 500
or 800 iner. employed in that terrif"rv
tribaiary to Wallace and there Is posi-
tive assurance that the next few
months will see the number largely In
creased. While the road Is now ~
fair condition. ii should be wiil"nc
ard Otherwise improved jn order to
neke cas- travelling for both teams
and automobiles.

NEW MINING ENGINEERS.
Like Other Professions, " Has Its Ups
and Downs.

At this season of the year, the min
obligations, the task Of moving tho
new crop of mining engineers, says
Mining and Scientific Press. Armed
with sheepskin, the result Of -four
long years of persistent effort, the
Young engineer is bidding farewell
to his alma mater and setting forth
for the hills and back blocks Of civili-
zation in quest Of whatever Dame
Fortune may see lit to bestow That
the trails are not strewn with roses Is
attested to by the large percentage of
graduate engineers, who after two or
three years spent in mining camps,
lose courage give up their profession
and enter into some more gentle walk
Of life. The profession Of mining, as
Is true of Others has its ups as we'll
as downs and strong heart and clear
head will help a great deal toward
getting there" AS a salutatory to
the new members of the profession we
can think of no better words than
those of Francis Bacon: II hold every
man debtor to his profession. from
the which. as men of course seek tn
receive countenance and profit so
ought they of duty, to endeavor them
selves by ways of amends to he help
and ornament thereunto."

THE SQUARE DEAL.
LEDGE Esrccted to Be Reached Some
Time Durinu Auouet.

Good progress is being made by the
contractors in running the tunnel on
the Square Deal located about half
way between this city and Mullan. on
the north side of the river. This tun-
mel will cut the vein about 27o feet
deeper than the lowest depth previ-
ously attained. and the prospect OF
finding an ore shoot is regarded as
very favorable. Some mineral valuet
have been obtained in the upper tun
nels where the ledge is very strong
and has every indication of carrying
tremendous ore body with depth
Men capable Of passing judgment and
Of extensive experience in the devel-
opnent Of Occur d'AleDe mines re-
gard It as one of the most promising
prospects In the district The control
Of the Square Deal Is owned by Occur

THE SLAVONlAN.
Negotiations in Progress for the Con-
troll Of the Property.


G. w. Dougherty, Of this city, spent
Saturday and Sunday In Kellogg and
Wardner, where he met parties from
Spokane who have under consjdera-
tion a bond on the Slavonian groupe
situated lust east of the Last Chance
and north of the Bunker Hill The
main development work on the pro-
perty is tunnel SO feet in length.
but which must be extended about
400 feet to reach the big vein which
crops out strongly on the surface.
However, in running this tunnel a
new ledge was cut which looks very
promising and is decided addition to
the prospective value of the property
Mr.. Dougherty is secretary-treas-
urer of the company The principal
stockholders in the company are John
Bcgovich, Tom Dakovich and Chris
Kojovich, all of Wsrdener. The Spo-
kane parties were evidently very
favorably impressed with the pro-
perty and it is probable a deal will
be consummated.

Is taking place and it is regarded as
not improbable that rich carbonate
ore will appear along with the galena.
A car Of ore from this level is now in
transit to the smelter which it Is be-
lieved will yield net profit of $4,000
The company Is preparing to utilize
the mill which was built something
over a year ago. The company finds
that hauling the ore distance of six
miles, especially with the road in bad
condition, an expensive operation, and
preparations are now being made TO
concentrate the ore at the mine. The
mill is sand to have daily capacity of
20 tons, The nearest shipping point
for the Hypotheek is Enavil'e but to
haul the ore or concentrates tn that
point would involve the construction
of a bridge across the river at or near
Kingston and the construction of n
wagon road from Kingston to the Ena
vile station. For this reason ship
ments are made from Cataldo, which
involves q wagon haul of six miles.

THE POSITION or SILVER.
The Worlds Supply for Coinage ane'
for Use in the Arts.

Samuel Montagu e. Co. note that
the stock of silver at Bombay rose In
value to 100000 pounds the frs
week of May The stock at Shangha
has increased from 100000 pounds 7"
4.S5O, 900 pounds. The offtake at Bonn
bay has fallen from 100 to 1870 bars
per day. A shipment of $4,000 pounds
in silver has been made from San
Francisco to Hong Kong.
Commenting on figures compiled BY
the Boston Financial News for tn
period from 1905 to 1911, inclusive,
showing that the worlds production
had aggregated 1S79277o46 mn
ounces, against which was to be SC
off the amount used in the arts. etc
amounting, according to United State
mint estimates. to 70S,133.3Oo ounces
leaving 671,143,746 ounces availabh
for coinage purposes, the London firm
saws: "The natural inference from thf
figures is that the proportion for pur
poses of coinage Is rather restricted
but 1t should be remembered that. not
withstanding the apparently limitef
amount available. the Indian specul7
tive group had. during the latter par
of the period in question, acquired +"
stock now considered to be IN th'
neighborhood of three or -four million
sterling. Should there arise pressur"
for coinage, there Is no doubt that th'F
sum would be available at a price. anf
moreover. that any pronounced rise ir
the level of prices would tap supplies
from lower grade ores, and new SUP
plies of silver in the way Of silver co'7
which had become worth more f.
their intrinsic than for their nom
inal value"

WALLACE TO HAVE A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING AND GYMNASIUM FOR PUBLIC USE
THE QUESTION OF ISSUING
BUILDING TO BE SUBMITTED AT SPECIAL ELECTION


! The Wallace school board has taken
q step which It is believed VIII meet
the enthusiastic support of all citi-
zens who are interested in the edu-
cational advancement of the city. The
Wallace public school has long oc-
cupied an enviable position in the
state. and it Is with view to main
| tanning this position by giving the
youth of this city the very best edu-
cational advantages that the school
board has decided to submit the ques-
tion of erecting and equipping a mod
ern high school building. And in ad
dition to this the board has embodied
with the high school proposition the
equipment of gymnasium designed
not only for the pupils of the high
school and grades, but which will be
open for the use of the public at times
not IN conflict with the school This
feature it is believed will appeal es-
pecially strong to the young men of
the city who have long felt tho need
dertook the work Of erecting one by
pnlni'sr subscription.
Anticipating favorable action when
the question of issuing bonds Is sub
mitted 10 the people, the school board
100 feet square, situated opposite the
school building which will be the site
of the proposed high school and gym
nasium. 1t Is an ideal location and
building will effect a substantial re-
duction In the cost of maintenance.
A special bond election has been
called for June 2S when the people
900 to he used in the erection and the
equipment OF the building. Upon the
favorable action of the voters, the
board will proceed at once to have
construction started with as little de-
lay as possible.
The requirements of the high school
render a new building a pressing ne
cessity The present high school is
crowded and experience has shown
that the high school shows a large
percentage of increase with each sue
ceeding year. Besides in the judg
ment Of the board it is desirable t.
add domestic science to the gchoo'
course and there is no room for this
addition in the present building. 9th
er departments need additional room
and better facilities and in order to
provide for these and also provide for
the normal growth, a new building is
a necessity.
Athletic training sufficient to insure
the physical development of pupils Of
the public school Ia now regarded as
important with the mental de- !
This, coupled with the
public desire for a well
gymnasium. has induced the
school board to include this feature
with the high school project. II is the }
of the board TO have the gym

Is not occupied and does not conflict |
with the work of the school a nom
