is MINING A FAKE?
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES west Mining News.

OF course it Isl Everybody knows
mining is a fake.
All mining is. always has been and

Like begets like.
The steel rails that begirt contin-

mighty commerce of empires, is all q
fake. They come out of the mines
The spades and hoes. the harrows
and plows and planters. the mowers
and binders and threshers, and all the
implements of agriculture are fakes
because they come from the mines.
The printing presses. the looms and
spindles and all the cast and compli-
Gated machinery for the great factor
les and shops are fakes. They came
from mines
The spectroscope and the telescope
which bring within tthe range of hu-
man vision and human understandings
the mysteries of the universe are
fakes. They came out of the mines.
The telegraph and telephone lines

THOMPSON FALLS AND
ITS GREAT WATER POWER
A DEVELOPMENT WHICH MAY BE
OF MUCH CONCERN TO THE
COEUR D'ALENES.

The Sanders County Ledger, pub
lished at Thompson Falls. Mont. gives
Interesting accounts of the great wa
ter power development going on there.
t Is one Of the big undertakings Of
The country and one of the biggest
over developments Of the northwest,
lual to that at Spokane, Post Falls
on In the Cascades. An auxiliary
plant has already been put in opera
II N by the Improvement of Prospect
creek. This was primarily for the
irpose Of aiding In the big work of
He dam, but there Is extra power and
some Of this now Is transmitted to the
Iron Mountain mine and is used
n its operation. Even this auxiliary
piant is considerable item right now.
Construction Of Big Dam.
'ccordng to the Montana paper. the
big work on the dam. similar to the
i'oraevelt dam In Arizona, Is just be-
finang Large buildings are up for
lhc accommodation Of a big force Of
.lnsn and the force Is being increased
Al fast as practical. 1t is said 500
nen will be employed. and 1t Will
prohably take three years to complete
Mr. work. The Montana Power COM
iH which owns the power at Great
Falls and at other points In eastern
Montana, also owns the Thompson
power. John d. Ryan, head of the
Amalgamated Copper company at
Butte, Is also head of the power COM
pany. He has definitely announced
that he will build beautiful summer
home at Thompson. This company is
under contract to furnish electric
power for the operation of all trains
on fthe Milwaukee railroad across the
state of Montana, and this work Is
now under way. The Thompson pow
er is TO be used on the western end.
Our Direct Interest in the Matter.
The Occur d'Alene district Is likely
to have more than passing interest
In this big power development. There
Is big consumption Of electric power
here and largely growing demand. 1t
Is frequently suggested that market
for much Of the developed power will
be sought here.
Figured on air lines. Thompson is
little II any more than a third of the I
distance from the North Side mines,
the Burke district, Sunset and Null
Ian as are Spokane and Post Falls, |
the present power supply aside from
the local development. Air line dis
tances, including Wallace with the
above named districts, are from 90 to
80 miles. These give an idea of the !
distance wires would have to be
strung Then there is a mining coun-
try of no small importance on the
slope from the summit to Thompson
Falls.
And also In connection with this
bower discussion an electric railroad
from the Northern Pacific to this part
Of the Occur d'Alenes Is mentioned.
ana 1t is said to be entirely practic-
Al SO far as route and distance are
Power May Be Used Soon.
Another feature of the situation so
lar as 1t concerns the Occur d'Alenes
$ this: Senator Clark Of Montana, is
'aid to be largely interested in this
Montana power company. 1t seems
Iuite probable. The Clark property
