valued at little more than 100000,
and, as the legislature was then hold

~ OMETIMES nations do things that
individuals would be ashamed to
countenance. China S treaty with
England gives the Chinese the
power to suppress opium smoking, but
the British minister, Sir John Jordan,
contends that the Chinese broke the
treaty in taking restrictive measures
against the smoking of Indian opium.
The treaty permits the trades contin'
uance until 1917 and this the British
interpret to mean that China shall al
low the importation aud guarantee the
sale of opium. The Chinese, on their
part, hold that the sale of Indian opium
was not guaranteed. England is now
pressing China to buy opium boarded
by English merchants, who speculated
on continuance of the vice and are at
the present time saddled with opium
valued at $60,O00,O0O, owing to the fact
that China has been successful in
stamping out the habit. The British
government holds that China should
buy this opium and resell it as a mo-
nopoly.

GILMORE PLATORO.
New Colorado Gold Camps Give Big
Promise,

The new gold strike in Colorado,
called "the new Cripple Creek" at
Gilmore and Patoro. Is attracting big
attention. 1t is about 80 miles north
of the New Mexico line, 32 miles south
and little west of Del NGrte, 43 miles
nearly due west of Alamosa and 40
miles northwest of Antonito, all of
these places being on the D. & r. G
railroad.
All of these towns arc outtittine
points. The snow is yet deep on all
the roads to the new discoveries, and
consequently many people are waiting
to get in.

such as water, power, timber and tun-
mel sites to get the money out of them
cheaply and at a profit.
Simple and Cheap Treatment.
A strong feature of Jarbidge gold
ore is its easy adaptibility to cheap
and simple treatment. 1t is largely
free milling, readily amalgamates. and
much of 1t, where the gold is fine. cy-
andes perfectly. Cyanide Is as cheap
a treatment as there is It is a fact
that IS IA per cent Of all tire gold
taken out in the United States in 1912
came by the cyanide process, and 25
per cent of all the gold produced in
the world during the same year was
extracted by cyanide.
Latest Strike Great One.
A recent strike of ore at Jarbidge.
within the last 60 or 80 days, seems
to be the biggest and best of all,
though the camp is now over three
years old. This recent strike is on
what is known as the Flake ground,

Roads Breaking Up.

The present work seems to be in
drifting on the ledge. probably in both
directions.
Senator Clark. the owner, is ex-
pected to visit the mine probably
within 30 or 60 days.
Considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced lately in hauling over the
| snow covered road from the east en-
, trance Of The Sunset tunnel to thf
i Nine Mile road. This is distance OF
about five miles and the snow in
places is yet very deep.
Probably Highest Mine in Camp.
The Sunset mine is probably the
highest mine in the Coeur d'Alcnes
The peak itself. according to the geol.
ogical survey. Is 1924 feet. The shaft
of the mine is probably 700 to 900 fee
! lower. making it $500 to 500 feet al
titude. These figures are estimated
except where the geological survey Is
quoted, and the elevation of the Her.
cules upper works may exceed them.
| Tiger peak Is about 100 feet higher
than Sunset, and Stevens peak is the
highest of all, said to be very nea,
1000 feet.
1t is quite likely that beyond drift
ing on the ledge at the 200 level, fur
ther plans of development, such a:
additional sinking or whatever it ma.
be, will not be outlined till the visi

Burns had a crew of men at work

in the evening 1t was announced that
two wagons belonging to George Gar
rett and loaded with lumber from
Bum station on Nine Mile for the
Idora MILL on Beaver creek, had got
ten through. This opens the wagon
road to Murray and the mail will at
once go that route while the wash
outs on the railroad are being re-
paired. Everything lacking in the
completion of the Idora mill will be
taken over at once. And much min
ing material and supplies will no
doubt go over this route for the work
laid out in the Sunset district this sea-
son. The road to the Sunset mine has
also been opened.

BY wnze and upraises but little over
800 feet of this intermediate ground
has been explored. From the up
raises. one reaching 200 feet, 1t Is evil
dent that the ore improves both in
grade and quantity. II often occurs
in mining in the Occur d'Alenes and in
other camps, that "a level Is run where
the ore body is to some extent squeez-
ed and immediate results are not
equal to probable values either from

be true in the Black Bear CONSOLIDATE =

there is much snow there yet. In

is the intention of Manager James II.
Taylor to begin work there just as
soon as conditions are improved, and
Of course. that can not be long now.
The work will consist in further drift

BILE to use the local power in the be-
