will be seen in moving pictures at the
Panama Pacific exposition. and 1t is
probable that they will constitute one
of the most interesting lectures of the
in the Idaho building. The work of
getting these picture films will be
completed To-Day, according to a
statement yesterday by j. w. Jones,
director of exhibits for Idaho at the
big exposition. who has been busly
engaged in different parts of the dis
trict since Monday afternoon. Mr..
Jones is assisted by Will e. Hudson,
an expert photogra pher Mr.. Adams
IS not a stranger in the Coour d'Alehes.
He resided here during the years
1899, 1900 and 1901, being employed
at the Tiger mine at Burke end after
wards at the Bunker Hill & Sullivan.
The knowledge he acquired of mining
and milling at that tine has been of
great service to him in his present
work.
Business and Mining Men Cooperate.
Mr. Jones was met Monday at the
Ryan hotel by M. A. Corner, president
of the board of trade; ]. F. Whelan,
secretary Of the Wallace chapter Of
the Idaho Mining association, and by
other members Of those organiza tions
and by representatives of the big min
ing companies, all of whom manifest
ed much interest in the work Mr.
Jones had in hand and showed a de-
sire to assist him in every way poss-
BILE. After a thorough discussion of
the matter, it was agreed that the pic
lures should so far as possible show
the actual process Of mining, trans
porting and milling the ore, and also
views of mining scenes, in various
parts of the district. With this set
tied, an automobile was placed at the
disposal of Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Hudson,
and they got busy Tuesday morning
and they have been busy ever since.
Visits the Bunker Hill.
From Wallace runs We're made up
the canyons in order to get sort of
line on the work and the field to be
covered. In the afternoon Kellogg was
visited, where they remained over
night and part Of yesterday. No at
tempt was made to take views under
ground, as they We're not equipped to
produce the powerful light necessary

MuIlan, Burke and Nine Mile Today.
Burke and other points in the cam
yon We're visited yesterday afternoon,
but the light was not right for GER
tain views. which necessitate going up
there again today after visit to Null
Ian. After Burke Mr.. Jones will go
up Nine Mile to the Success. lamar
ack-Custer and Interstate Callahan
mines. This will end the work in the
Coeur d'Alene district, being one day
more than was originally planned.
While it would have been possible to
obtain all the pictures necessary to
depict the mining industry at perhaps
one mine, Mr.. Jones has deemed It
best to take different features at the
various mines and mills and then COM
bine them into picture story Of min
ing in the Occur d'Alenes.
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Hudson will leave
for Bonner county tomorrow morning
which is the last county in the north
to receive attention. Five counties re-
main to be taken care of in the south.
Miniature Mill Proposed.
1t has been suggested that a repro
duction in miniature of one of the
mills Of the district would be a most
interesting and valuable feature of the
mining exhibit. This matter of max
ing miniature models is subject to
which Mr.. Jones has given much at
tention and he estimates that a model
Of a mill could be made complete with
all necessary detail for from 5000 to
$4,000. depending upon the size and
amount Of detail. The model could
be made to show ore cars coming out
Of the mine and dumping ore. the
machinery in motion inside the mill
and freight cars loading with concen-
trates. This would be highly in
structive exhibit, one that perhaps
would do more than anything else to
attract attention to the mining indus
try In the Occur d'Alenes. Nothing,
however, has been done toward carry
ing out the plan.
