TO RESUME WORK
ON THE LEGAL TENDER
PROPERTY OF PIONEER WOMAN
TO BE WORKED BY ST.
PAUL PEOPLE.

A brother in-l law of Mrs. Ellie Hell
Ter. from st. Paul, visited her lately
at her home at Evolution on the Lee
gal Tender property. about two miles
below Osburn. He examined the Le-
gal Tender ledge and the work done
on it and announced that upon his ar
rival home he would at once arrange
to resume work upon the property.
This will be in the very near future,
probably within few weeks. Prac-
tically everything is ready to begin
work on the shaft. The property is
but few hundred feet from the South
Fork. plenty of fuel is on hand and
there is little or no snow in that To-
cality.
The property is very well equipped
for development work. The shaft is
now down 70 or 80 feet 1t Ia the in
tention of Mr.. Burlet, who will have
charge OF the work, to sink to 800 feet
depth and explore the ledge from that
level.
The Legal Tender is in the immedi-
ate vicinity Of the Evolution group.
The Evolution is the oldest Quartz To-
cation in the Occur dAlenes, made by
A. j. Prichard some years before it
was made known to the world that
placer gold had been discovered on
Eagle and Prichard creeks.
Mrs. Heller is the pioneer woman
of the Occur dAlenes. She came t.
Eagle, walking over the snow from
the Northern Pacific railroad, early in
1884. For many years she conducted
n hotel and lodging house in Wallace.
She built the Pacific hotel and the Pa
cific Annex, near the O.-W. r. & n.
depot. owned by W. l.. James when
the forest fire destroyed them. In re-
cent years she has given her atten-
ton to mining. and while In business
she devoted much of her means to
prospecting and mining development.

1t Is a fact not generally known that

safely said to held the worlds record
as printer--not only IN size of plant,
number of employees and extent of out
put, but also in up-to-date scientific
management. efficiency and economy.
An interesting example of what this
source of modern efficiency means is
la machine which prints, gums and
perforates $4,000 postage stamps a
minute. Figuring on an S-hour day.
this is product of 5.760.000 two-cent
stamps, worth 1$115.2OO, as a days
work for the two operators required
on the machine. The stamps are shot
out---there is no other way to express
it-at the rate of 20 feet minute.
This means over six miles Of postage
stamps a day.
The machine eliminates ID Separat G
