TOUCHING STORY OF NoRDICA.
Famous Singer, Shortly Before Her
Death Sang to Invalid Exile.
(San Francisco Dispatch to Musical
American

(San Francisco Dispatch to Musical
American
The last songs that Lillian Nordi-
ca ever sang lightened the lot of the
patients in the hospital on far~away
THURSDAY Island, and they were
sung particularly to a little Ameri-
can boy, George Mcdonald.
After the shipwreck, which ulti-
mately caused her death, Nine. Nor.
dica was removed to the island hos
pital and there found this American
boy, who had been taken i'll while on
a tour around the world with the
Columbia Pork Boys Club of San
Francisco. The lad had been sent
ashore from the steamship Moana for
medical treatment while his COM
panions, all except one, continued
their tavels. No other Americans
were in the hospital; and all who
knew the illustTious soprano can ap-
preciate the interest she felt in her
little c~ountryman and fellow suf-
ferer.
While improving in health, and
apparently on the way to complete
recovery, Nordica frequently visited
the boy, sitting at the Side Of his cot,
encouraging him, M sometimes
singing softly for him and the other
patients. Young Mcdonald grew
better and the physicians thought
that he would soon be able to start
for home. But he suffered a relapse
and died.
Nordica was deeply grieved at the
passing Of her young companion ana
caused to be erected for him a small
white marble monument bearing the
inscription:

CLEARWATER COMPANY
PLANS AERIAL TRAMWAY
TWELVE MILES LONG, CROSSING
HIGH MONTANA AND
IDAHO DIVIDE.

Sam Seidenfeld, formerly resident
of this city, now of Spokane, was "a
Wallace visitor this week. Mr.. Seid-
enfield is the heaviest stockholder in
the Clearwater Gold and Copper Min
ing company, which owns valuable
property on the upper Clearwater and
which has been extensively developed.
In conversation with Mr. Sedenfeld
he stated that work had been sus-
pended at the mine and that he could
make no definite announcement as TO
when there would -be resumption,
but that plans were being worked out
to finance the property on new ba-
isis and that the prospect was very
favorable for carrying them out sue
cessfully. In that event the Clear
water would be the scene Of much
mining activity in the spring.
Long Aerial Tramway.
While Mr.. Seidenfeld is confident
that the Northern Pacific will event.
ually build the Lewiston Missoula
cutoff, which would pass a few miles
below his property, the time Of it's
construction is so uncertain that his
company is considering plan to
handle the ore independent of a rail-
proposed to construct an aerial tram
way, capable of delivering "a tons per
hour connecting the Clearwater pro-
perty with the Amador branch of the
Northern Pacific at the, Amador mine,
a distance of 12 miles. This tramway
would necessarily cross the Bitter
Root divide between Montana and
Idaho. Mr.. Seidenfeld has gone far
enough into this plan to find that the
tramway Is feasible and that it could
be placed in operation for something
over 100000.
Much Ore in Sight.
Mr.. Seidenfeld says the company
has developed the property to the ex-
tent Of upwards Of 1000 feet of tun-
nels, crosscuts and shafts and that
this work represents an expenditure
of $4,000 This work has resulted in
opening up an immense body of ore
carrying values in copper, gold and
silver that will average $3.50 per ton.
The vein varies in width from 1S feet
to IS feet and in places Mr.. Seiden-
field says there is two or three feet Of
solid ore that will run 35 per cent cop
per.
Railroad Certain to Come.
Mr. Seidenfeld has private informa-
tion regarding the intentions Of the
Northern Pacific which leaves no
doubt in his mind that the railroad
from Lewiston to Missoula is a cer-
tainty. but when no man knows 1t
may be the coming season or several
seasons may come and go before the
whistle of locomotive echoes on the
upper Clearwater. But when it does
come Mr.. Seidenfeld says it will open
up. a mining field the extent and rich
ness Of which no man can compre-
.hend who has not visited it.
