Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc in the Occur
dAlene District

The report of the bureau of mines,
prepared by C. N. Gerry, on gold, sill
yer. copper. lead and zinc in Idaho for
the year 1918, shows that Shoshone
county (the Occur d'Alene district)
made large increases in output of all
metals but gold, and especially large
increases in silver, lead and zinc. The
total value Of the county yield was
s20767, 41O; an increase of $2,453,806

The ore produced by 36 deep mines
was 2.2S9,226 tons, which is 18E189
tons more than the output by 35 deep
mines in 1912. The total average
value per ton increased from 1888 in
1912 to 1907 in 1913, and the gold and
silver value from 1924 to $3.50 Most

Easton said in part:
Better organized and more diligent

the larger mining companies than
heretofore. The special problems in
addition to the general allaround bet
ter extraction always sought are: Re-
covery of zinc and its separation from
lead and iron materials; recovery of

fine tailings; raising average grade

looted Rome and cached his treasure
in Carcassonne, tradition says, in a
deep cave, and killed the men who

This treasure was part Of 1t from

Wars Of conquest followed wars

Washington, Dec. 29.-Ten

droughts and other setbacks-is
the 1918 record of six million
American farms.
The United States most sue

duced S6,1QQ,0O0,0O0 worth of
crops, of which $2,896, 100000
were repsented by cereals alone,
and $3,650,00O, 900 worth of ami
mails sold and slaughtered and
animal products. The Value of
the 1913 crops is twice that of
1899, more than a billion dollars
over 1909, and substantially
greater than 1912.
OF all the crops, it is estimated
that 81 per cent will remain on
farms and that 20 per cent of
the animal production also will
remain. On that basis the cash
income is estimated at $5,047,.

In quantity of estimated pro.
duction, the record has been
broken by wheat and rye. rice
sugar beets, beet sugar and the
total of beet and cane sugar. Of
the remaining crops, oats barley,
cotton and hops have been ex-
coded twice in production.
The value of the crops of 1918
is high. A new high record
in estimated value is made by
the total Of all cereals, and sepa-
rately by corn, cotton, cotton
seed, tobacco and sugar beets.
Only once has there been a high
err estimated value for oats, rye.
rice, potatoes, hay, hops and the
total of beet and cane sugar.
Only twice has the estimated
value of wheat and of the beet
sugar been exceeded.
Dairy products of 1913 are
estimated at more than 1884,
100000. Eggs and fowls have an
estimated value of more than
S578,0OO,O00.
The wool production of 1913,
estimated at 304,OOO,000 pounds.
was worth over $51, 100000.
The prices of fourteen princi-
pal crops average about 20.2 per
cent more than a year ago, and
4.6 per cent higher than two
year ago. Their total values
average about 3.8 per cent higher
than year ago, and 10 per cent
higher than two years ago.
In these days of high prices of
food, it seems to be overlooked
that this country is producing
enormous farm SURPRISES for ex.
port to foreign countries. Prices
are high in other countries, as
we'll as in this one, the report
says.
The value of agricultural ex.
ports of domestic production in
the fiscal year 1918 was S1,123,-

The fife and drum. the banners fine.
Spur on the men in warning line
Until the battle lost or won;
But out in lonely hamlet> wait
Those who can only guess the fate
of brother, father, lover, son.
The Red Cross nurses gladly 90
70 ease the pain Of those laid low.
BY murd' 'rous shell aud gun and
dirt
But science has 40 surgery
That for moment can set free
~ waiting woman grief torn
heart.
