TO DEVELOP LEDGE
ON AMAZON GROUND
PORTION OF AMAZON. MANHAT-
TAN GROUP THUS FAR LIT
TIE EXPLORED.

Recent reports from the Manhattan
are that tunnel No. IL now In 400
feet This Is the lowest tunnel, but
this Is several hundred feet above the
Carbon creek level. A fine shoot Of
ore has been opened in this level for
a distance Of several hundred feet. Its
length has not yet been determined.
/ From this tunnel crosscut has just
been begun to reach the Amazon
ledge on the north. The Amazon ledge
has been little developed and is little
heard Of, the Manhattan ledge having
received The greater attention. Never
lhcless, wherever opened In the upper
workings and practically at the sur
face the Amazon ledge shows five or
six feet or more Of good concentrating
ore On the surface there is 100 feet
or so of distance between the two
lodges. They dip toward each other,
and In No level We're about half
that distance apart. 1t was thought
they would be together In No. 3. and
dip remained the same.
The Amazon Manhattan is being
developed by the Interstate Callahan
company and will eventually be con
nected with the Nine Mile workings
Of that property.
Power connections are not working
satisfactorily and this prosecuting Is
being started by hand drilling
compressor for the Amazon -Manhat-
tan Is to be installed on Carbon creek
The development of the Manhattan
ledge so far as 1t has proceeded, Is
extremely satisfactory. Three tunnels
have been run on the ledge, Nos. /.
and 3, and there is yet q much deeper
tunnel site available on the Carbon
creek level In No. tunnel an ore
shoot was opened 70 feet long. In
No. 2, below, the same ore shoot was
more than twice that length, and its
full length is yet undetermined. In
No. 3, so far as work has proceeded
the ore shoot in length Is practically
double that known In No. 2. and its
length has not yet been fully demon
strated.
The development Of the Amazon
ledge so close by will be watched with
interest. 1t is very rare instance IN
the Occur d'Alenes where so little de-
velopment work has. proved so much
ore as is shown in the Amazon Man
haitian mine.

|DAHO.MONTANA WAGON
ROAD IS COMPLETED
ENTIRE ROUTE ACROSS STATE
IN LINE FOR BEST
RESULTS.

The new interstate wagon road,
connecting Idaho and Montana and
crossing the Bitter Root mountain
range is now practically complete. The
work has been done by Missoula
county, Mont, and Shoshone county.
Beyond the local benefit Of this ex-
cellent. road, It is destined to be q
most important interstate and trans
continental highway.
Saving Effected by Direct Work.
The last lap in the section on the
west side Of the range three miles In
length, Is the portion now being COM
pleted. The Mullan Progress states
that the cost has been about $500 Il
mile, that about half Of the route has
been through heavy timber, clearing
Of the right of way OF which has been
more expensive than the actual grad
ing. Bids were invited on this work
some time ago, and the lowest was
$4,000 for the three miles. Thereupon
the commissioners determined to do
the work direct, with the result Of
saving $500.
The Route Across Idaho.
This Montana Idaho connection
with the already excellent road sys-
tenn through the Occur d'Alene min
ing district extends ON west through
Fourth of July canyon. into Kootena!
county and into the state Of WASH
ington. With cooperation of Kootenai
county and the Idaho state road COM
mission this western section of the
route will receive the work necessary
TO put it in thorough shape and in
keeping with other sections of the
route This seems to be assured.
Thus It seems certain that the Sec
ton of the north transcontinental
wagon road through Idaho, from the
Montana state line on the east to the
Washington line on the west is as
sured beyond question to be high
way second to none in any mountain
region. This, added to its scenic
beauty, will make It most attract
i've route of travel
Route Over tho Mountains.
Further detailing the new road the
Mullan Progress says:
The grade is about per cent. Two
bridges remain to be built. AS it now
stands. the new road makes the sum-
NIT with only one switchback. and
connects with the Montana road at
the state line.
"The Idaho state road commission
has adopted 1t as the official state
road which means that the great part
of the travel will come this way next
season.
"The Missoula county commission
ers have completed their portion of
the road by building short stretch
down Randolph creek and repairing
and building new bridges between
Taft and Saltese, all Of which are
now completed and passable for auto
or other vehicles. The road
from Saltese into Missoula is re-
ported to be in good condition"

Oil Fuel for Navy.

The recommendation regarding the

modern navies from coal TO oil burners.
1t is said that the price of oil is steadily
creeping upward and is now twice as

trolls its own wells Even now the navy

and there is likelihood that this will be
increased TO 5,G00 900 gallons in the
future. every gallon of which must b.,
purchased from the oil companies at
their own price. Therefore the Secretary
says that by the time the Panama canal
is opened the navy should be producing

for a continuing building policy unaffect-

Question to Consider.

1.-THE absolute strength necessary to ac-
complish this is a question that depends
upon the national policies of prospective
challengers and the force they can bring
against US, and, hence. is relative and
varies with their naval policies and
building program. Expressed in
concrete words, the policy of the board
has been to provide the nation with a
feet equal or superior to that of any
probable enemy, as guarantor OF
peace. and it's forecast was that fleet
of forty-eight battleships, with the at
tendant lesser units and auxlliar1es,
ready for action by 1920, would accom-
plsh this result.
