1t is the opinion Of all who have seen

about 20 feet and it's dimensions are
not more than AZ by s, yet out of
this small hole there came not less

S. p. DONNELLY TELLS OF MIN.
ING OPERATIONS IN THE VI
ciNlTY OF LAkEvlEW.

S. P. (SD Donnelly, of Lakeview,
Bonner county, was a guest at the
Samuels hotel Tuesday, returning to
his home Wednesday. Mr.. Donnelly
FOR a number Of years giving his at
tention to mining in the vicinity of
Eagle and also taking an active part
in democratic politics of the county
and state. In the early '90s he be-
came interested in the mineral dis
covery on Lake Pend d'Oreille which
has since been known as the Webber
property and soon after took up his
residence at LakevieW, which has
since been his home.
The Idaho Hermitage.
Mr.. Donnelly has long been a pro-
ninent and influential factor in the
democratic party Of Idaho, and was
for several years national committee
nan for the state. His home COM
nands a magnificent view of the
beautiful Pend d'Oreille lake, sur
rounded by majestic mountains, FAR

naturally of a reflective and philoso-
phical turn of mind these mighty
works of nature in the presence of
which he lives can not have failed
to leave their impress upon one given
o thoughtful meditation upon the
rue philosophy of life having special
reference to life as manifested in the
democratic party From this 1t will be
easy to understand why Mr.. Donnelly
has come to be known as the Sage
Of Lakeview,' and why all democrats
who have kept the faith and who
avoid even the appearance of the pro-
gressivism find welcome and inspir-
alton at this Hermitage at Lakeview.
Mining on the Lake.
Mr. Donnelly reports considerabl bic
mining activity in the vicinity of Lake
view, all Of it being in the nature of
development work. The Webber mine,
| in which he is heavy stockholder
| is employing 16 men and the condition
lof the property is most encouraging.
Work has been steadily in progress
| for the last two years. The mine Is
controlled by Chicago people and the
company is known as the Pend d'Ore
lille Mining & Reduction company. The
ore in the upper workings was most
lily an oxide, some of it high grade, but
not in sufficient quantity to make
shipments profitable. Greater depth
iseemed necessary to find ore in com
mercial quantity, and to gain that
depth crosscut tunnel 1900 feet long
has been run to the vein and drifting
is now in progress. The ore has
changed to galena, and the vein and
formation are identical with those us
ualy found in the Coeur d'Alene dis
trict. Considerable ore is being taker
out and Mr.. Donnelly feels quite con-
fident that the showing will soon war.

There is perhaps nothing that a man

BIG ORE BODY STRUCK

CROSSCUT FROM 400 LEVEL CUTS

The crossCut from the bottom of the

time this information was received
the vein had been penetrated about
five feet, all in ore. Assuming that it
will hold the width shown in the cross
cut 200 feet above. fully 25 feet re-
mains before the hanging wall Is
reached. Within this distance, how
ever, there will probably be a horse or
dixie five feet or more in width separ
ating the vein proper from smaller
one on the hanging wall side. But the
two are in reality parts of one big vein
and the probability is that both will
show good Gre, much of it of shipping
grade, their entire width. This would
be in line with the showing above and
the rule of the district Is that ore bod

Both Lead and Zinc.
While both lead and zine are found
in the Sunset mine, their presence in
treatment They are separate and dis
tinct and their values can be separ-
lated and saved by the usual methods
'of concentration employed in the dis
trict.
While the striking Of this ore body
on the 400 is just what was expected,
it is none the less gratifying, for there
is well founded belief that it means
the immediate carrying out of plans
for deep development on a large scale.
Owned by Senator Clark.
The Sunset mine is owned by ex-
Senator Clark of Montana, and it Is i'm
possible to think that having demon
strated its great value that he would
consent to having 1t remain idle, 1t

plans are, of course no one here
knows, but it would seem certain that
whatever they are, they must involve
the construction of a railroad UP Bea
yer creek, or some plan Of reaching
the property by railroad from this side
of the divide. In any event the bic

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET PROMISES TO Be
AGREAT SUCCESS IN SH0SHONE COUNTY
EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD RECOGNIZE IMPORTANCE
UNITING THE PARTY AND SHOULD AID
BRINGING 1T

The Lincoln day Banquet to be held
in this city on February IL promises
TO be the biggest event of the kind
that has taken place in Shoshone
county in many years. The announce
ment that the banquet would be held
was received with much satisfaction
by republicans of all shades of opin-
ion, for all recognized that without q
united party, neither element could
hope for success And it is equally
true that all republicans recognize that
the division in the party in the last
campaign was not based upon any
disagreement affecting the essential
principles of the republican party, and
that the difference which led to the
division have now been removed
Under these circumstances the pro-
posal to get together has struck re-
sponsive chord in all parts of the
county, and the banquet on the an
niversary of Lincoln's birth will close
the breach and mark the beginning Of
campaign that will result in repub-
lcan victory in November.
Republican Policies Best.
The prospects for a united and har-
monious republican organization is nat
urally not pleasing to the democracy,
for they see in 1t termination of de-
power. They therefore attempt to dis
credit the motives of republicans in
the get together movement and con-
tinue to assert that the effort is back
ed by no higher purpose than to Sc
cure the offices. AS a matter of fact
the offices are the smallest part of the
benefits of republican rule, but nec-
essarily in order to receive the greater
republicans. In no other way can
republican administration be establish
ed and maintained. The real benefits
lie in the business confidence that is
part of the republican rule, and conf
dence is the basis of the nations
prosperity.
Idaho Profits by Republican Rule.
The republican party made Idaho a
state and 1t has encouraged the de-
velopment of the great resources and
industries upon which it's future great
ness and prosperity depend. The first
act of the democratic administration
was to strike blow at these in the
form of free trade tariff law, which
has disturbed values and raised a
grave doubt as to it's ultimate effect
upon the business of the state. The
duty of political party is to remove
doubt and uncertainty in business af-
fairs, not to create them.
The republican party stands for
proved principles of government under
the operation of which the country has
grown in wealth and the people have
prospered. The get together movement
which is now spreading over the coun :
try, and which will be formally recog :
nl2ed in this county by the
banquet on Lincoln day, is the
first step toward a return to re-
publican policies of government A
united republican party can wipe out
the democratic majority in congress
this fall and prepare the way for gain
ing complete control Of government
two years later. The benefits to be
gained are so great and far reaching
that every republican, be he progress
i've or stand-patter, should give his
earnest and enthusiastic support to
the movement.

According to William Scheave, pres

practically all the work on the com

ample of the folly of undertaking ex-
tensive WORK under ground without
the guiding hand Of an engineer A
tunnel has been run $50 feet, presum
ably a crosscut following slip or
seam assumed to be a feeder to the
vein to be cut This slip in places
widened to two or three feet and gen
orally carried a little galena and some
copper. 1t has now been proved to
the satisfaction of the company that
this slip has no connection with either
of the two veins that pass through the
ground about 500 feet apart, and that
it is in reality fault running be-
tween the veins and parallel to them
Crosscut to Vein.
Several short crosscuts have been
run from this tunnel, some of them az
far as 30 feet and one of these about
$50 feet from the portal of the tunnel
will be extended to the main vein. The
distance is about 80 feet and the work
is now being done under contract. This
will give a depth Of about 200 feet on
the vein, and several hundred feet ad-
ditional depth can be gained by drift
ing This work Is all in the nature nf
prospecting. and If the showing war
rants 1t Is the plan of the company to
drive a tunnel that will cut both veins
and make 1t possible to explore them
at depth Of 1900 feet
A shaft has been sunk on the Sec
ond vein about 20 feet, showing well
defined vein with more or less gaena.
Across the gulch tunnel has been
run on this vein about rs feet. The
vein shows up strong and Is mostly
iron oxide, having traces Of lead and
silver.
