SPRINGFIELD COMPANY
WILL START WORK
PLANS NEW WORK FOR YEAR
IN SOUTH SIDE COP.
PER BELT.

The Springfield Mining company,
operating in the south side copper
belt on the st. Joe side Of the range
south Of Mullan, has issued the fol-
lowing circular letter, which Ks being
sent to the stockholders:
"A special meeting of the board of
directors of the Springfield Mining
company was held on Monday, April
6, 1914, at which time the treasurer
reported that the mpany had on
hand about $55 and that there were
outstanding bills amounting to ap-
proximately 800, and as 1t is neces-
sary to do 800 worth Of work on the
claims that are not patented held by
the company, 1t was thought advis-
able to levy an assessment of two mills
per share, and by using the same ju-
diciously, we hope to make this as
penses for 1914 and 1915.
1.-THE company has entered into a
contract with Alfred Holmgren of
Burke to run 100 feet Of tunnel, the
same to be a drift tunnel on the first
ledge. The president has recently
been on the property and examined II
and feels quite confident that good ore
should be shown up in paying guam
titles by runnig this drift. The price
to be paid for this 100 feet Of tunnel
is $40 per foot, $3.50 cash and $3.50 In
stock at S cents per share. Work will
be commenced as soon as the snow Is
OF sufficiently to allow the parties to
get in their supplies.

THE C0EUR D'ALENE DISTRICT
HAS LARGEST ZINC MINE
THE INTERSTATE WALLACE CAN TAKE FIRST PLACE
IN ZINC PRODUCTION IN THE UNTIL. STATES
MAMMOTH BODIES.

The Interstate Callahan mine on
East Nine Mile has been developed to
a point where 1t can easily take first
place in the production of zinc ore
in the United States. All that pre-
vents the property from being the
leading zinc producer at the present
time Is sufficient milling facilities to
handle the output. With only 70 men
employed underground the Interstate
now holds third place in the produc-
ton of zinc in the United States. Part
Of the production is now crude ore
taken direct from the nine, which -
also furnished by the 70 miners in ad-
dition to keeping the milling plant
crowded to its capacity. When you
consider that the ore must all be
hauled by team to the nearest railroad
siding, and still the mine holds third
place, 1t Is not hard to believe that
with ample milling capacity and cheap
and easy transportation that 1t could
at once jump into the front rank. On
lv one small level is being mined at
the present time, while many large
bodies of ore on other levels have
been opened. but must of necessity
remain untouched until such time as
the company can arrange to get the
product to market The development

an increased output, but just how
this will be accomplished has not yet
been determined. The mining Is an
easy problem, but the milling and the
transportation problems are not so
easily solved The milling capacity at
the present plant near the mine can
not be increased materially on account
Of a scarcity of water The milling
end Of the enterprise must come down
to the South Fork. but in order to do
this on an extensive scale such as is
required by the large ore reserves, 1t
is first necessary that cheap and un-
limited transportation facilities be
provided.

Albert Nelson, manager Of the Nip

states that he has now drifted about
$50 feet on the vein in the No. 4 tun-

milling as fast as taken out The up

the Boy Scout movement as organized IN

most valuable means to this end. The
movement cannot be carried on without

you supply the skill. Solving the pic
tographs loses almost all its terrors
when you have the Almanack to assist
you. You need only get the proper
conception of the Photograph. and theh
search thoroughly among the sayings
for the one that matches that concep-
tion, which is not a task requiring ex-
traordinary ingenuity.
II you haven't secured your copy Of
the Almanack, get it today. As soon
as you are working with it. you'll be
making remarkable strides forward to
your award.
At so cents, the Alamanack is good
value. Its arrangement is attractive
