TAXPAYERS Of SHoSHONE PROTEST VIGOROUSLY AGAINST

inopportune 1t is looked upon as u
move to benefit the lumber companies,
more than any other taxpayers of the

the ranchers and smaller taxpayers Of
the st Joe realize that the cost of es-
tablishing and maintaining county
government at this time, and under
present conditions, would be entirely
out OF proportion to the slight bcne-
fits they would receive.
Sargent Introduces Bill.
Representative William r. Sargent
Of Kootenai county introduced in the
house last week the bill providing for
the creation of ST. Joe county. When
the county seat war was on in Koot-
enai a few years since. St Maries res
dents sided with Occur dAene and
against Rathdrum and 1t was under

openly since then, that when de-

the st. Joe for u new county, with
St Maries as the seat of government,

suit about kootenai county has less

I The taxpayers Of Shoshone county
have been awakened to the imnedi-
vision of the county within the past
week and steps are being taken to
nip the plan in the bud So long has
1t been under way, however, as re-
cent events have disclosed, that 1t
may be said To be past the budding
stage. However. there Is every rea-
son to believe that the vigorous meas
ures adopted will result in the preven-
ticn of the passage of the bill intro
ago. If they do not, it will not be
because the Shoshone county taxpay-
ers were negligent in protecting their
interests, and in filing a strong pro-
test with the legislature
For years the burden of county
government for that section of Sho-
shone county generally referred to as
the st, Joe country, lying tributary
to st. Maries, has fallen upon the
This was due to the fact that large
portions Of the st. Joe country was
included in the forest reservations,
and was, therefore, not subject to tax
alton. The remainder of II was thin
ly settled, and did not produce a great
amount of taxable wealth. Within the
last few years the lumber industry
has grown in the vicinity of ST Mares
and throughout the section of the
cut off and the Milwaukee, railroad
has been built. 1t Is plainly to the
interests of the lumber companies, the
Weyerhalser syndicate and other con-
Germs, great and small, to have their
business industries included In a
county where they are largely in con-
trol of all commercial affairs. This Is
apparent to all and explains the great
activity Of the lumber companies in
working out the plan of county div-
sion, and in fighting to bring ii about
during the present term Of the leg
islaturc.
The section of the county which the
proposed division would take away
from Shoshone now produces approx
imately 100000 year in taxes. This
is the statement made by county Off
cials, who state further that if a new
county is formed as planned, it would
be impossible to reduce the cost of

FRISCO MINE AND MILL At GEM, WITH ALL HOLDINGS,
SOLD TO THE FEDERAL N. 8 S! COMPANY FOR s250000

one of the largest gold mining conf
panies operating in Mexico.
Mr. Mcdonald was succeeded by r.
Il. Freeland, who later gave way to
Fred T. Burbidge. The latter left the
general management of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan to become associated
with the Frisco company, with which
he has been associated up to the pres
ent time. Aside from the general man
ayers, many prominent and we'll
known Occur d'Alene mining men
have been connected with the Frisco
in other capacities. Gus Ehrenberg
was one of these, acting as mine sup
erintendent under three of the general
managers named and leaving the COM
pany's employ when he removed to
Spokane in 1907.

abandonment of the property was that
the ore, originally lead silver, gradual
ly ran into zinc as depth was gained.
This was considered great nisfer-
tune at that time, as the methods of
separating the zinc in the ore had not
been developed to the point where it
could be profitably handled. lnvesti-
CATION has proven that the methods
employed in handling the Morning ore,
to that of the Frisco, are applicable
to the Frisco ore and lead to the con-
fident belief that the zinc can be sue
cessfulIy and profitabIy extracted from
the latter. Within the past few days
a large force of men has been put to
work, removing the old machinery
from the Frisco mill and there are ru-
mors which appear to be we'll founded
to the effect that machinery for ap
plying the new process will be install
ed in it's place, and the output of the
Frisco treated at the mill.
News of the transfer and particulars
that have leaked out regarding the
future plans with regard to the old
producer have given much encour-
agement to mining men and others
equally interested throughout the dis
trict The active operation of the
upon which the Federal is
to have determined, will fur
nsh employment to many men, and
tend to bring back the life and pros
nerity that marked the canyon in for
mer years.

The details of deal whereby the
ownership of the Frisco mine at Gem
together with the Frisco mill and all
claims owned by the company has
been transferred to the Federal Min
ing and Smelling company, have just
been made public, although the deal is
said to have been practically consum-
mated several weeks ago. The con-
sideration is given as $25O,00o. A con-
tingent contract attached to the deed
recently filed in the office of the coun-
ty recorder provides for additional
payments under certain conditions.
which are not set forth in the papers
filed.
The deed is made to cover the trans
fer of the mine, the mill of 500 tons
daily capacity. the water power right
on Canyon creek and all other rights
and appurtenances. The properties in
cluded in the Frisco's holdings are the
Esler, the Broad Guage and Narrow
Guage millsites, the Badger, Hardy
Fraction. Yankee Doodle, Black Bear.
Idaho Fraction, Cape Horn. Akron,
Apex Fraction, Grover Cleveland. Gem,
Josie, San Francisco and Chief claims.
These were all at one time held by
three different companies, namely:
The Black Bear, the Helena Frisco
and the Milwaukee, but early in the
'90s they were united into one COM
pany, known as the Frisco Consoli-
dated Mining company. The prop
crty was at one time under the con-
troll of D. M. Hyman, a New York cap
italist, who acquired control under
mortgage foreclosure in 1905. 1t is
said he expended nearly 100000 in
unwatering the lower levels and de-
yeloping the property, but he discon-
tinued his efforts in 1907 Since then
no work has been done except In some
of the upper levels and this was all
done by lessees.
Has Seen Many Changes.
No mine in the district has Il more
varied or interesting history than the
Frisco. The first general manager
was A. M. Esler, who died several
years ago, and who was succeeded by
Joseph Mcdonald. Leaving the dis
trict after a short connection with the
Frisco property, Mr.. Mcdonald went
to Alaska, where he subsequently be-
came manager for the great TreadweH
property. He is now at the head of

The second and third deaths that
resulted from the prolonged spree, ta-
ken few months ago by Ike Peter

employed in the Bunker Hill and Sui
liyan mine, occurred last Friday even
ing. Peterson died at local hospital
to which he had been removed from
the county Jail when It was realized
Mrs. Peterson, his wife, died about an
hour later on the same day at her
home in Kellogg. Though in delicate
health for some time, 1t is said she
died as the result of excessive worry
over the situation brought about by
the killing of Constable Cavanaugh bN
Peterson, and the fear that her hus-
band would be freed or would escape
and return to wreak his vengeance
upon her and their little children. as
It is said he had threatened to do.
Peterson did not want to recover
and required constant watching w1'e
in the Kellogg hospital to prevent his
taking his life. He repeatedly tore n1l
the bandagcs and dressings o. ms
wounds, and at times refused to take
.nourishinent or medicine. The re-
mains were Inferred In the Industrial

When Father Was a Boy

This world was certainly O fros
When father was a boy,
Just think of all the fun they lost,
They had no use for joy,
They were q very gentle lot
And never did what they should
not
To make their honored parents
hot,
When father was a boy.
They had no air guns fer to shoot
When father was a boy.
They had no bugles fer to toot,
Or any other toy,
And shortly after they were born
They had to hike out in the morn
And hoe the taters and the corn
When father was a boy.
They never skunk away from
school
When father was a boy,
Off to the good old swimmin' pool,
Or words of slang employ.
Then when up tree they'd climb
To carve their initials, twas a
crime;
They must have had a hot old
time,
When father was a boy.
They never got single cent
When father was a boy;
They didn't know what money
meant
And it didn't e'er annoy
The youth that flourished in that
day
If they could never get away
And go a-fshin' so they say,
When father was n boy.
They never had an earthly
chance,
When father was boy.
To own more than one pair of
pants,
When father was boy.
They shined their shoes with
axle grease,
Their trousers never knew a
crease,
They had one hick Try shirt apiece,
When father was a boy.
All. they cared to do was work,
When father was a boy;
They never kne w how to shirk,
When father was a boy.
Thy drilled from morn till dewy
eve
That is, of course, if you believe
The tales of what they did
achieve
When father was a boy.

negroes will hold an inaugural

paste boards are going it is eX-
pected that an overflow ball will
have to be held on the asphalt
outside to accommodate the late

Few Washington negroes are
