Oklahoma City, Jal follo"lns
a conference with his .neys to-
day, Governor Lee Cruce notified
Lon Frame that the senates vote
late yesterday had confirmed MS
nomination as chairman of the state
board of public affairs.
Vote on Confirmation.
Oklahoma City, Jan. THE noml-
nation of Lon NJ. Frame OF Ardmore
as a member of the state board OF
affairs was rejected by the senate
late today by vote of twenty-one
to nineteen. 1t required twenty
three affirmative votes, or consti-
tutional majority of the senate, to
confirm.
This action came after the senate
bv a vote of nineteen to twenty-one
rejected the minority report OF the
committee which recommended that
Frame be not confirmed, and then by
vote of twenty -one to nineteen
adopted the majority committee re-
port. which was favorable to Frame.
On each of the three roll calls the
division for and against Frame was
identical, with three absentees. The
fight against Frames confirmation
was led by Senator Thomas and Sen
ator Mcintosh.
81 will send Frames name back
to the sen"te as soon as | am Off
cially notified of the senate's ac-
tion." said Governor Cruce tonight.
81 will also take occasion to say
a few things about this fight, and
tell what think about it. l do not
understand where the senate gets its
authority for requiring twenty-three
votes. 1t occurs to me that a ma
jority of those present can do busi-
ness"
Senators said tonight that the
constitution fixed the number OF
votes necessary for the senate to do
business.
The special session Of the senate
was not terminated until $50 o'clock
this afternoon, and owing to the
constitutional requirement that the
houses of the Fourth Legislature
shall be convened today, action on
the nominations of Doolin as state
game and fish warden and Riley
as secretary of the state election
board, was deferred until some time
during the regular session.
By legislative rule these two ap-
pointments are now dead. The sit
uation will be met by the senate
sending to Governor Cruce an ex-
planation asking him to resubmit
the names of Dooln and Riley. The
senate will Immediately refer the
appointments to the same investiga-
tion committee, and it will report
as of today.

CONSOLIDATION TALKED.
Terrible Edith and Golden Chest Con :
siderinq II.

a consolidation of the Golden Chest
and Terrible Edith. two well known
producing mines close to Murray, is
talked of, and evidently some effort is
being made to bring 1t about. The
Terrible Edith is a producer of lead,
silver and zinc and the Chest is a gold
quartz mine. The former is high up
on the mountain above the Chest The
Chest is lower down and is developed
from point within short tramWay
distance of the railroad along Prichard
creek.
The advantage of consolidation
would come through handling the
product. The treatment of the ores
is different. That of the Chest can be
milled and cyanided on the ground
That of the Terrible Edith must go to
smelters, either crude or concentrated.
BY extending the workings of the
Chest the Terrible Edith would be
opened approximately 1000 feet lower
than at present, The groups join and
it is said the work of the Chest, Is
! close to the ground OF the IefrlDle
/ Edith. not, however, very close to the
ore shoot now being worked
| The Terrible Edith is a frequent
shipper of lead and zinc. The pro-
posed consolidation would give an
easy outlet for ore on nearly the low
est practical level and cut out the
present wagon haul The Chest has
/ been worked for many years, but not
recently, and Is credited with large
production Of gold.
Lyman Wood Of this city is one Of
the owners Of the Terrible Edith. He
had heard the report and thought there
might be something to it though the
matter had not come up to him in a
business way.

Some Interesting Comment from
a Local Mining Man

camps, explained Mr.. Howarth, is the
known long life before them. With
records of big production extending
over a quarter of a century, their
promise for the future is greater than
ever before. The old mines give this
indisputable evidence and new ones
doubly guarantee it.
No Cinch in Land Investment.
Mr.. Howarth was in his usual com
municatiye mood when approached By
a Miner reporter, and talked interest
ingly of mining in general as well as
Of matters connected with his trip. II
have lost more money in land invest
ments than in mining ventures" he
said, "and | have no doubt this is the
experience of many other men Mr..
Howarth expressed no prejudice
against conservative purchases Of
land. He does believe. however, that
caution and sound Judgment are re-
quircd in proper land buying. and fur
ther. that both of these have been ig
nored to large extent in land specula s.
ton in recent years. Legitimate min
ing interest has suffered to some ex-
tent through this. and the belief Of
mining men generally is that there is
n noticeable return or interest in the
mining industry.

Mr.. Howarth spent some time in
Salt Lake. "It is n great mining cen Is
ter said he. probably bene6tting
from larger mining area than any
other western city. Rutte's benefit
comes from great mines right in and
Immediately around the city. The
nearest big mining Is within sight Of
Salt Lake, probably 90 miles distant
and it extends in all directions and
comes from half dozen states. Utah
itself Is a great mining state. and in
Salt Lake City is centered more OF

ford, secretary of state, president, who
were present gave ample assurance of
their cordial sympathy with the peo-
pie of Shoshone and Kootenai coun-
ties. and stated in terms that if after
making the investigation necessary
under the law they find that the coun-
ties are prepared to carry out their
part of the compact. the full limit of
assistance authorized by the law will
be forthcoming from the state.
Priceless Value of Good Roads.
Incidentally the construction of this
a pronounced effect in the way of ed
ucating the people upon the value of
good roads, and we expect to see il
followed by the extension of local
roads to other parts of the Occur
dAlene district. opening up sections
now more or less remote, and giving
substantial encouragement to the de-
velopment of mining property which
will add to the wealth and bring in
creased prosperity to not only the
people or ShoShone county, Dut 10 the
entire state of Idaho. The value of
good roads Is just as apparent in a
mining district as in the agricultural
sections. Investors in prospective
mines are willing to spend money for
development of ore bodies. but In many
cases they rightly regard II as unjust
to be required to spend large sums for
the construction of roads which are
equally beneficial to other claim own
ers and to the county as whole. In
such cases Il would be entirely proper
TOR the county to share the expense
after an Investigation had demon
strated that the section to be reached
possessed sufficient merit to warrant
the expenditure.
