Other Transportation Methods Fail.

Other Transportation Methods Fail.
That the mines above Wardner
contain vast quantities Of workable
ore. together with much unprosrected
country, is well known to all mining
men. The leases now in operation are
handling a large tonnage continually,
but all are handicapped in the matter
two miles from the tunnel exits With
proper facilities for hauling the ore
the output could be more than doubled
and other idle claims made t, Yield
good work but crowded to their capac-
ity they can not take care OF the out
put; the motor truck does excellent
service but can only be used part Of
the caterpillars are good but SLOW,
hence new methods must be devised.
Il Looks Favorable.
at an informal meeting this week
the matter of an electric line through
the streets was discussed and some
very favorable conclusions reached
which will be investigated by those
interested in the project A short
time ago a south Idaho citizen was In
the Twin Cities and looked over the
ground with such an obiecs in view
and as he has successfully promoted
such enterprises elsewhere his opinion
carries great weight. He unhesitat-
ingly pronounced the sceheme feast
BILE one and would be ready to taxi
hold Of the enterprise with local par
ties.
Those looking into the question viii
secure complete data as to costs OF
construction, operation and maintc-
nance and take up the matter at
later meeting.
Rights Secured Long Ago.
Twenty years ago company was
formed here with this same object in
view. Right Of way was secured, the
company Incorporated and other steps
taken to start work, but other condi
tions arose which made it impossible
to carry out the project All agree now
that it would have been highly sue
cessful had the promoters carried it
through.

CONVENIENT RAILROAD SIDING
FOR HUNTER-NATiONAl
PAYDAY-CARBO NATE.
(Mullan ProgreSsl

Bob Campbell, who was in charge
of the sorting plant at the Hunter,
from the time 1t was started and who
resigned few weeks ago, has accept
ed position with Otto Trojanowslii
at the Frisco.
Change Pay Day.
The National company had their
pay day this month on the 10th, but 1t
Is understood that they are consider
ing making the date on the 18th of the
month In the future the same day
that the Snowstorm company pays.
Will Extend Carbonate Tunnel.
o. A. Larson with two other men
went up to the Carbonate Center this
week and after cleaning up the work
ings will start in to run rs feet on the
lower tunnel which is now In $50 feet.
The property is in the vicinity of the
IS" bridge.
Hunter Siding.
The Northern Pacific company has
again taken up the work on the Hun
ter switch, which was started last
spring, but owing to washouts on the
other side of the range at that time all
the men available were put to work
there. Between 30 and 40 men are at
work on the siding at present and IT.
will be rushed to completion, The sid
ing will be about one-half mile in
length and starts from the main line
near the National mill. following the
side hill to the lower tunnel on the
Hunter. This will save considerable
labor for the Hunter company in un-
loading supplies and timber for the
mine and do away with the stull yard,
giving more dump room for the mill

.0..W. R. & \. TO
ADD NEW S|OETRACKS
ENlARGiNG FACILITIES TO MEET
INCREASING DEMANDS
OF BUSINESS.

An important Improvement which
will greatly facilitate the handling of
cars at the Green Cleveland and
Stewart mills is now being made by
the . w Il. 6, n. company The side
tracks leading to these mills are used
By both railroad companies, although
they We're put in by the O.-W. K. & y.
The sidetracks at present are spurs
leading to the mills, and the fact that
they have but one connection with
the main track causes much extra
work In handling the cars, TO over
come this difficulty the O,-W. II. & n.
company this week began the extern
sion of these tracks to connection
with the main line above the mills
which will necessitate putting in an
other bridge across Canyon creek. Il
is probable that this track will also be
extended to a connection with the
Northern Pacific. completing an i'm
provement that will greatly facilitate
the big tonnage that comes from thes,
mills.
Sidetrack At Frisco.
The O.-W r. & n. is also putting IL
sidetrack to the old Black Bear mill
at Frisco, which is being equipped by
the Federal for use in connection with
the Frisco mine.

crushed and blood was found under
their bodies.
The discovery of the tragedy was

ing reported that the house had
been destroyed by fire and that the
six inmates had been burned to
death. The Coroner's jury late to-
day held an inquest, finding that the
six victims had come to their death
