SHOW INCREASE
In PRODUCTION
MINERAL OUTPUT IN IDAHO
SHOWN TO HAVE GAINED IN
THE PAST YEAR
Lead Output In the State Ranks Second
In Production In the United
States

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The miner
al product of chief value in Idaho, ac-
cording to the United States geologic
| al survey, is lead, which forms about
80 per cent of the states total mineral
production, having somewhat more
than twice the value of Idaho's silver
output, which ranks second among the
states mineral products. The total
value of the mineral products of Ida
no increased from $21, ,S16,39O, in 1912,
to $24,565,826, in 1913.
In 1913 the recoverable lead content
of the ores mined in Idaho amount
ed to 158,936 short tons, valued at
$12,986,366, against 1908 short tons,
valued at $12,7S8,355, in 1912. Idaho
ranks second among the states in the
production of lead ores, its output of
this product being exceeded by that
of Missouri The recoverable silver
content of the ores mined in Idaho
in 1918 was valued at $6,033,473
silver content Of the ores mined in
Idaho in 1913 was valued at $6,033 ,473,
against $5,101 1858, in 1912. Copper,
gold. and zinc are also produced in
significant quantities In Idaho, the out
put of each having a value of over
81 100000, in 1918. The total value
OF the metals contained in the ores
mined in Idaho in 1918 was $24, 4,168, ,339,
or SO per cent of the total mineral
production. The total value of the
nonmetallic products-coal Qignite)
gem materials, clays, lime, mica, phos
phate rock, salt, sand and gravel, sand
lime brick, and stOne-was 1897, ,487.
Small quantities of iron and tungsten
ores are also produced in the state. |
The nonmetallic resource of greatest |
promise is phosphate rock, extensive |
deposits of which lie in the sOuth-
eastern part of the state and extend |
into northeastern Utah and south
western Wyoming. AS the agricul-
.ural industries of the western states
are developed this necessary plant
'ood, which is abundant in this region,
should become one of the most i'm
)ortant items in the mineral produc
ion of Idaho.

John Melrose, the Elk River mil

Elk River Saturday night during 6
drunken brawl, was the aggressor and
before he was stabbed by Martin
Bakavitch, the Austrian, he had en-
deavored to maltreat the latter, accord
ing to A. A. Holsclaw, county attorney
of Clearwater county, who was in
| Moscow today on his way to OrofinO
from the. scene of the tragedy. The
coroners inquest held yesterday, re-
suited in a verdict being rendered that
the victim came to his death by knife
wounds, the knife being held by Bak-
avitch with homicidal intent.
"The investigation showed that
there were about 100 men at the re-
sort at the time and that many were
intoxicated said Mr.. Holsclaw. From
the story of one of the women it was
determined that the victim, who was
strong, husky man, had been abusing
the Austrian and had attempted to
reach him with view of punching
nim The woman claimed she attempt
ed to deter Melrose from making the
attack but was finally forced to allow
him to go. AS he struck the Austrian,
the latter used a knife and plunged
it into Melrose's abdomen five times.
Other men about the place allowed the
murderer to get away and the officers.

Among the letters found in the dead
mans pockets was one written to his
mother which he had evidently not

Aug. Meneritti and her address is

ing under an assumed name. A corn
er of the letter giving his address to
his mother was inscribed, "H. H. Mel

children living at Pasco. Mr.. Hols-
claw telegraphed to the mother ask
