FINE SOCIAL FUNCTION.
INDUCED in by Young People of Presby-
terian Church.

Members of the Presbyterian young
mems and women's Bible class, together
with invited guests, enjoyed their annual
| banquet in the vestry of the church last
evening. This affair has proved to be
one of the fine social functions under
taken by the class and last evenings
entertainment was not short of previous
occasions Nearly so people sat down
to one of the best prepared banquets
ever served in the church. That some
thing to eat makes the young people
happy was clearly demonstrated, for
everyone was in the best of spirits; the
rainy weather did not tend to dampen
the spirits of any.
After they had partaken of a hearty
supper, Rev. Salmond, the teacher of the
class. assumed the task of toastmaster,
and program that was pleasing was
soon in operation. The speaker of the
evening was Rev. j. b. Reardon of the
Universalist church. Mr.. Reardon gave
a very forceful talk on the work being
carried on by the class. He spoke of
the Importance of the Bible as history
history that would outlast any other
now widely read. Another fact clearly
stated by the speaker was the immen-
sity of the field in which to work and
that work along this line would not only
he benefit to any individual church but
TO the city as whole. He emphasized
the Importance of bringing the young
people into the church and, in closing,
congratulated the class on its success.
Mr.. Salmond then gave few words
relative to the work of the class and
its members.
A piano duet by Mr.. Salmond and
John McAskill received merited applause
and they were called back for another
selection. Alice Walker was called upon
for solo and she responded in manner
that was pleasing and she, too. was
called upon for an encore. Mrs. Salmond
then entertained the class with her read
ings and these filed the minds of her
listeners with happy thoughts. Post
prandial exercises being over, the floor
was cleared and marches and games oc-
cupied the rest of the evening. Later
all Joined hands and closed one of the
most successful banquets with the sing
ing OF "Auld Lang Syne." Much of the
credit belongs to the mothers who had
charge OF the banquet. Under the guild
anee of Rev. and Mrs. Salmond they
spent much time in its preparation.

HUNTER NINE WILL
INCREASE OUTPUT
NEW FLOTATlON
STEM-lNCREASE MINE
AND WILL CAPACITY.

During his recent visit to this dis
trict, Thomas F. Kelley, president of
the Hunter Mining company of Null
Ian, authorized the installation of a
new Callow flotation system for the
Hunter mill and the increase of the
milling plant to about $50 tons more
per day. The installation Of the new
flotation unit is now in course of con-
struction under the management of
Otto Trojownowsky. The increased
capacity of the plant will be arranged
without increasing the size of the
present mill building, as the mill Is
provided with plenty of extra floor
space for this purpose. For power for
this increased capacity the company
has ordered a new 100 horsepower
electric motor. Both compressor plants
will also be in operation as soon as
the additions to the milling plant are
completed, which will not be before
the first of the year. The Hunter pro-
duction in the past has averaged about
1000 tons of ore per month. 1t is ex-
pected with the new machinery being
installed to at least double that record,

work the Bullion and Copper Chief

The Bullion has been developed by an

SNOWSTORM FINDS ORE

ENCOURAGING ORE BODIES BE-

OF sNoWsToRM.

The Snowstorm company at Larson,
east of Mullan, is finding its first en-
couragement for commercial ore bod
les in the lower levels since the work
of sinking the shaft was started. On
the 400-foot level drifts have been run
on the vein both east and west, Dnd
both are in solid vein material carry
ing perhaps and l u per cent copper
on an average The ore itself is rAch,
1t is distributed through the rock in
very fine particles, and not yet in
enough quantity to constitute c>m-
mercial ore Reports from the mine
are very encouraging, however, ana it
is expected that further development
will result in finding richer material
The upper workings of the mine are
completely exhausted. The vein was
badly faulted near the No tunnel
level, at which point the pay ore ceas-
ed. The company has expended a
large amount of money In its efforts to
locate the vein below that point, and
the present good showing is the first
encouragement they have had Ray

STRIKE BIG ORE BODY
IN RE|NDEER-QOEEN
COPPER PROPERTY HAS A BIG
VEIN OF GOOD ORE IN THE
LOWER TUNNEL.

The Reindeer Queen property, oper-
ating on Willow creek, east Of Mullan,
is developing one of the most import
ant showings of copper ore yet found
in that district The full extent Of the
discovery is not yet known, but the
entire face of the lower tunnel Is in
good grade of milling copper ore with
no walls of the vein in sight. From
parties who are familiar with the diff
ferent workings on this property it is
reported that the vein in some Of the
upper tunnels has a width of 70 feet
in places, all Of which is low grade
milling ore The present showing is
at about 1000 feet depth in the old
Reindeer tunnel, which is being driven
across the line into Copper Queen
ground The ore is a good grade of
chalcopyrite, and is admirably adapted
to the flotation process, the gangue
being a heavy spar. The old Rein
deer company worked some of the ore
several years ago with hand jigs, and
shipped three cars, which netted about
80 per cent copper. The two compan-
les have been consolidated and are
working at present with a small crew
of men. The mine is equipped with a
(small compressor driven by water

1t is reported that an excellent shoot
of galena ore has been encountered in
the raise that is being driven from the
Idora workings into the Tuscumbia

DEMOCRATS SWEEP SROSHONE COUNTY
REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET ELECTED
DISCIPLES OF WOODROW WILSON MAN TICKET
BUT Two-REPusLIcANs CARRY THE STATE EXCEPT
GOVERNOR AND ATTORNEY GENERAL

The election In Shoshonc county last
Tuesday resulted in a sweeping vic
tory for the democratic party, only
two republicans, Herrick for assessor
and Mowery for coroner, pulling out of
the general landslide with enough
votes to elect thom. Only three small
precincts are yet to be heard from, st.
Maries, Big Creek and Marble, and
these can in no way change the pres
emit line up of county officers.
Better organization in the demo-
cratic party ranks; their unusual ef-
forts In getting out the women voters,
and scratching of the republican ticket
made the present success for the dem
ocrats.
In the state the republicans reflect
cd Senator James H. Brady to the
limited States senate, and Addison L.
smith and Robert McCracken were
elected to congress The balance OF
the state ticket is also republican with
the possible exception of attorney gen
eral and governor. The democratic
victory was confined largely to Sho-
shone county. Following is a brief
table OF the total vote in this county,
with the exception of ST. Mares, Big
Greek and Marble precincts.
