Eastern Stakeholder Expresses Con-
fidence in Property.

Mr. and Mrs. John Hall of Grinnell.
Iowa, are spending a few days in the
CITY. the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ram
sey Walker. Mrs. Hall and Mrs
Walker are cousins. Mr.. Hall Is a
heavy stockholder in the Burlington
group of claims, situated at the forks
of Two Mile creek, near Osburn. Up
on visiting the property this trip ne
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the outlook for striking COM
mercial ore body in the crosscut tun-
mel that is now being run. A point
has now been reached where the vein
should be cut any day. and change
in the formation has taken place
which is regarded as highly favora able
for ore. The finding of milling ore on
the Two Mile group, which joins the
Burlington and has the same vein, Is
particularly encouraging.
Mr. Hall is a retired banker and Is
close observer of business condi-
tions in the various sections of the
country he visits. He has made
number of visits to the Occur dAlenf
district and is greatly impressed witt
the splendid business conditions here
as compared with other sections of th'
country. He spoke particularly of the
banking business Of Wallace, and sale
when he goes back to Iowa after
visit here and tells his friends of th'
enormous deposits carried by th'
banks of this little city, they give hin
a look that is not complimentary t.
his reputation for truth and veracit!

BIG VEIN ON TOLEDO
FUR 1HER EXPLORED
GROUP OF CLAIMS NEAR BURKE
OWNED BY WALLACE PEO-
PILE LOOKS GOOD.

A great and highly promising vein
was uncovered in an open cut ON the
Toledo claim this week which has at
tracted much attention and which is
believed to be the forerunner of an I'M
portant discovery of ore on the same
ground. The Toledo is one of three
claims owned by M. ]. Farrell, George
Steward and Herman ]. Rossi all Of
this city. The group was patented a
good many years ago, the work ne
cessary for patent being done on the
east end of the property, which eX-
tends down to Canyon creek and
which affords the natural point for
permanent development of the prop
erty. The Toledo lies south of the
Benton and east Of the Hummingbird,
joining both, and occupies one of the
most favored spots in that favored
mineral section.
Locating the Vein.
That an ore bearing vein traversed
the ground has long been the fixed
been done toward demonstrating this
since the ground was patented. But
a few weeks ago, Mr.. Farrell, who
resided many years in Burke ano
whose mining operations have given
him unusual familiarity with tho
Burke section, started couple OF
men prospecting for the vein. open
cuts were made along the suppose
course of the vein, and in one of these
toward the west end of the Toledo
claim, but clearly east of the wei
known fault that follows the course
of Gorge gulch, a vein was eXposct
to width of 10 or Is feet composed
mainly of quartz, iron, OXidiZed iron
copper stains and other characters
tics usually found in mineral bearins
veins. Further explorations on the
surface will be continued, both for the
purpose of locating the exact course
of the vein and also with the eXpecta
tion of possibly finding silver lead ore
near the surface, for float in the form
Of quartz and galena have been founc
at the foot of the hill and it IS be
lieyed that the vein now uncovered Is
the source from which it came. The
location of the group Of claims, al
most within the town of Burke, anC
in the heart of the famous Burke
mineral belt, has attracted unusua
interest in the showing on the Toledo

THE HYPOTHEEk.
Good Progress Being Made in the New
Shaft,

The new shaft which Is to be tho
main working opening for the Hypo-
theek mine is expected to be complet-
ed so far as eXcavating Is concerned,
ly the last Of August. The raise from
the 700 level Is now upwards Of 800
feet and sinking from the surface was
started a few days ago to meet the
raise. There is approximately 400
feet IF shaft to be made and the man
agement expects to make 200 feet per
month, that is 100 feet raising and 100
feet sinking. When the shaft opening
is completed sinking will be resumed
from the 700 level to the 900, about
100 feet Of which distance has already
been sunk.

ALMOST CON-
PLETE FOR CARRYING OUT
FOURTH PROGRAM.

In the enthusiasm and interest that
has been created by the many inter-
esting features of the program for the
Fourth Of July, the unusually interest
ing patriotic program should not be
overlooked. In fact, after all is said,
the patriotic observance of our ma
tional birthday and the revival of the
spirit that gave us a nation and upon
which depends its perpetuation is the
most essential part Of the program.
Every citizen should pause and for the
time forget the sports and other feat
ures long enough to hear the Declara-
ton of Independence read, the patri-
otic address and the stirring music
that combine to make splendid pro-
gram.
Everything in Readiness.
Today will see the completion Of
every detail in the program of what
will undoubtedly prove to be the
greatest celebration of the Fourth of
July that has ever been undertaken in
northern Idaho. Mrs. Alys Mickey
Bryant, the famous aviatrice, with
her new model Curtis machine, ar
rived Wednesday and with her man
ager and assistants proceeded at once
to select runway from which to
make her flights. The place selected
will be along the track in the O.-W. r.
& N. yards, near the water tank. The
lady is an enthusiast in her perilous
profession and has never failed to
make good her contracts She will
make one flight tomorrow and two on
the Fourth.
Other Attractions in Readiness.
Tillie Baldwin, with her company OF
bucking horse riders, lariat throwers
and other features of wild west sport,
will exhibit on the Saturday and Sum
day. The full detail Of each days
events will be found on another page
of this paper Ample arrangements
have been made to convey the crowds
to and from the city by special trains
and all who desire to remain in the
city during the three days celebration
will no doubt have no trouble finding
hotel accommodations

The international.
Up the west fork Of Pine creek

International Mining company Is be-
ing steadily developed under the
management of Fred Day. The vein
has been explored for quite long dis
tance and shows considerable ore, but
depth seems necessary to find ore In

being sunk from the tunnel level which
is expected to make important devel-
opments.

About half mile down the west
fork from the International Is the
property of the Spokane Mining d
Milling company. the chief stockhold-
ers in which are Portland people De-
velopment Is being done under con-
tract to Mr. Lott, who is now on the
last 100 feet Of the second contract for
200 feet. Considerable galena has
been encountered and the outlook Is
decidedly encouraging.
Copper on the Divide.
At the head of the west fork Captain
Waters of Coeur dAlene has a few
men at work on copper property.
The vein upon which he Is working
has been followed across the st. Joe
divide. and the surface indications
are exceptionally favorable.
Theodore and Benjamin Schmidt,
also of Occur d'Alene, are pushing de-
velopment on copper claims located on

MANY PROMISING MINING PROPERTIES ON
PINE CREEK FROM MOUTH TO DIVIDE

slelLTiEs MINING IN THAT RICH AND Ex

Pine creek continues to be the scene
of great mining activity, aud one OF
these days some company With ample
capital viii get in there and transform
some of those numerous prospective
properties into great producing and
dividend paying mines, Transporla-
ton is the most pressing need of Pine
creek and this would soon follow the
demonstration that profitable tonnages
awaited railroad. But delay in OBJ
tanning these transportation facilities

alton of coeur d Alene mines does not
apparently discourage the owners of
mining property on Pine creek, for
the work of development goes on
without interruption, and best of all,
ii shows tangible results in the form
Of ore. From the mouth of the creek
to the headwaters of the east and
west forks there is something doing
in the way of mining, and those best
informed on the situation confidently
expect Pine creek to eventually rival

mineral producing section.
Rebuild State Wagon Road
Many years ago, SO long that it has
been almost forgotten, the state of
Idaho constructed north and south
wagon road connecting the northern
and southern sections of the state.
The northern end of that road was at
the mouth of Pine creek, and 1t ex~
tended up that stream to the forks
thence up the west fork and finally
over the st. Joe divide in the neigh
borhood of Old Baldy. 1t was poor
ly constructed thoroughfare and
traversed sparcely settled country.
The result was that 1t was little used,
never repaired and has long since
passed into Il practically impossible
condition.
/ However, the situation Is very much
changed since the road was construct
ed. The ST. Joe country Is no longer

ulatiOn For this reason the PROPOSE
ition to reconstruct this road is receiv-
ing consideration, and it is stated that
the commissioners Of Kootenai coun-
Ity have presented the matter to the
commissioners Of this county. OF
course the matter Of cost Of recon-
struction should receive the first at
ltention and the compensating advan =
ttage to be gained The known min
eral character of the section warrants
a reasonable expenditure for roads
'and the matter is one worthy Of care
full investigation.
The Arcadia.
Theodore Brown and James McVay
are giving considerable attention tc
the development Of the Arcadia, a
group of four claims lying between the
douglas and Surprise. This Is the
property formerly owned by Frank
Jenkins and the development work
done by him represents probably $10,-
loco. The old tunnel missed the vein
which was discovered by Brown and
McVay and the property relocated the
first of the year. The vein has been
located for a distance Of 500 feet on
the surface and tunnel so feet In
