ETNA THE SCoURGE

Mount Etna, now in eruption, has been plague since the dawn or history. Of all the worlds volcanoes it is probably the most active and consistent of the destroyers of human life. It has literally wiped out hu- man beings by the hundred thousand. It's slopes have been one great char mel house and ill all likelihood they will continue to be.
 There are over eighty recorded eruptions of this murderous volcano and in every instance the loss of life has been great The present eruption is trifling in it's death list compared with some in the past. The one in 1893 took 6O,OOO lives and estimates for others run all the way up to 10000. The first recorded eruption is 700 years before the Christian era. In the days of Greece and Rome Etna was we'll known and dreaded. Myth ology early endowed Etna with in- telligent malice It was the prison of the fire breathing Enceladus or it was the forge of Hephaestus. Classical reference to it's destructive tenden- cies are innumerable. Etna was known and feared as far back as history runs.
 That man would choose to live on the sides of a mountain so dangerous must always be one of the puzzles of humanity The world is large and the areas where life is reasonably certain are so vast that it would ap- pear to be only the exercise of con- mon sense to shut Etna. But no, man, with a stange tenacity, clings to the villages that have time after time been wiped out of existence. The molten lava may flow down turning everything to ashes; poisonous gases may strike sudden death; in day the habitations of generation may be less than ruins; the olive, orange, fig and date orchards may be reduced to cinders, but only for a little time.
 One by one, like ants to disrupt ed ant hill, the human beings re- turn and begin their work all over again. Little by little new homes take the places of old ones, new or chards are laid out and in few years the inha abitants have again set tied down to a normal existence, pre- sumably as happy and care free as any community in the world.
 The battle between Etna and man has been a lone one and Etna has not vet won a decisive victory over it's frail antagonist.-Ex.

KEEPING WITNESSES IN JAIL.

The holding of a witness in jail, while another witness or the man against whom the witness is to tes- tify is allowed his liberty on bail, is one of those unacceptable injustices at which it is very easy to rail, but for which it is very difficult to suggest an alternative. Newspapers and or ganizations which capitalize discon- tent find in the practice an ever ready indictment to resentment. It is a notable fact, however, that they never give any remedy for the wrong.
 The cause of general justice de mands that witnesses be made cer- tain when the life or liberty of a man is at stake. The word of the witnesses cannot be taken. Exper- fence and common sense tell us that there are too many Inducements for witnesses to depart into obscurity. A rich man might be able to pay a witness sufficient to make him pre- sent himself, but the poor man lacks this advantage.
 Every witness for and against a defendant in criminal case, no mat ter how remote his connection with the crime: might be held in jail un- til the case came to trial. That, how ever, we venture to believe would not be a satisfactory settlement of the difficulty. It would not only make, the injustice to the one which is now for tunately infrequent general injustice and no one would take his inprison- ment more cheerfully because others were in the same predicament.
 The law is forced to demand some sort of hostage from witnesses and principals. They must either give their person or some token of val ue greater than the possible loss that will come to them at the trial. A man who is unfortunate enough to be a witness and has the additional mis-

Preparation Being Made to Begin

work on the Property.
The old workings at the Polaris
mine, below Osburn, are being cleaned
out preparatory to having report on
the property for the purpose of deter
mining a plan of development. The
property is one of the earliest loca-
lions on the South Fork, having been
made by the late Senator Hepburn and
held by him until his DEATH 1t is
now owned by Mrs. Hepburn who re-
Gently leased it for term of years to
II. G. Barnhart, r. O. Jones and w.
Pen gally, all of Kellogg. The ore is
mainly high grade gray copper with
some galena, and shipments were
made from it years ago. The old
works consist of a tunnel and shaft
high up on the mountain and the ex-
pense of mining proved too great to
permit a fair profit. 1t is understood
that the men now having the Polaris
under lease contemplate running a
tunnel that will open the vein at great
depth. .,ss,

themselves mean a large increase in
the production Of copper this year, to
say nothing Of the direct influence
they are having in the opening Of 9TH
err copper mines.
Zinc Keeps Pace With Copper.
In zinc mining the outlook is equally
flattering. The pioneer zinc mine, the
Success, has greater possibilities for
future development than ever before.
The real mine is yet to be opened, a
fact that Is demonstrated by the great
ore shoot that the little depth now at
tanned his disclosed.
The mammoth shoot of zinc ore In
the Interstate Callahan has already
given that property place among the
great zinc mines of the United States,
and there Is basis for the belief that
when milling and shipping facilities
are at hand it will rank as the great
est zinc producer in the United States.
All Of these conditions, not theories,
leave no doubt as to the future Of min
ing in the Occur d'Alene district.
These, taken in connection with the
figures showing the great profits OF
mining and small percentage Of losses,
combine to make showing thai
should strongly appeal to capital seek
ing mining investments.

THE UNITED LEAD.
Drifting on the Vein Is Showing Most
Gratifying Results.

The United Lead company, operat-
ing just below Osburn on group of
claims Joining the Nellie, is now drift
ing on the vein after sinking an in
cline shaft to a depth of a little more
than 100 feet. The drift has been run
about so or SO feet and shows the vein
to be six feet wide and having about
20 inches of gray copper and some
lead ore. The showing is highly graf
flying to the company and also to all
who are in terested in the development
of the dry ore belt. The situation Is
to that at the Nellie, the gray
copper Increasing as depth is gained.
The Ur tied Lead is deserving of
much credit for the staying qualities
it has sho wn in the development of it's
property. The work it has accom-
plished rel,resents the expenditure Of

WORK At CASTLER ROCK
SOON Be UNDERGROUND
FLUME COMPLETED, BUILDINGS
ERECTED AND COMPRESSOR
INSTALLED IN FEW DAYS.

The preliminary work at the Castle
Rock on Placer creek, is being rapidly
rounded up under the direction Of
Manager w. B. Lively and 1t is now
expected that everything will be in
readiness to begin underground work
by the middle Of June, possibly be-
fore. The flume to convey water for
power for the compressor has been
completed, the penstock Is in position
and a Pelton water wheel was in
stalled this week. A bunk and board
ing house has been constructed and
the building for the compressor has
also been erected.
Compressor Soon to Be Delivered.
Considerable time will be required
to get the compressor in position anG
in readiness for operation, and this
will be undertaken in a few days. A
bridge must be built across the creek
and a blacksmith shop erected on the
dump Then air pipe must be placed
in the mine, track laid and ore cars
provided. When these things are ac-
the outside work may be
finished and attention will
then be given to actual mining.
Perhaps the first thing to he done
will be to unwater the
shaft, which has been sunk to a depth
Of 65 feet in the tunnel. This will
be done through a syphor
at nominal expense. In the meantime
the drift will be continued east, the
face having a good showing of ore
and all ore taken out will be sorted
right from the start with the view to
getting a carload for shipment at an
early a date as possible.

THE EAST SNOWSTORM.
Favorable Indications Found in the
Crosscut Runninu North.

Development Of the East Snowstorm
Extension has been progressing stead
lily during the past three years under
the management Of B. Fl. Lively. The
property Is situated on the Little
North Fork, about three miles from
Larson, and consists of seven claims
and a fraction lying east of and ad-
joining the Snowstorm.. The proper
ty is favorably located with reference
to the great veins that traverse the
Mullan copper belt, and 1t is to 10:
cate one or more of these that has led
to the development of the property.
At present a crosscut is being run to
the north from which Mr. Lively
states he has taken fine specimens of
copper ore. Continuous indications Of
copper and the increased flow of wa
ter as the crosscut advances, together
with the favorable forma ton, Revett
quartzite, encourage the belief that the
ledge is not far distant The portal
of the tunnel is only so feet above the
creek and Is practically on the same
level as the No. 4 tunnel Of the Snow
storm, giving great depth OH the vein
when 1t is encountered.

Stockholders Elect Officers-Good
Progress in Crosscut.


A meeting of the stockholders of the
Slovenian Mining company was held
in this city last Monday evening when
the following officers We're elected:
Tom DakoviclS, president; Christ Ka-
jovich, vice president; G. w. Dough-

George Polich and George Wukmen
constitute the board of directors.
The Slovenian is located almost
within the town of Wardner and has
as neighbors some of the famous mines
of that section. A big strong vein
passes through the ground and to cut
this at depth a crosscut is being run.
1t is now in over 500 feet and is now
passing through mineralized quartz
which has the appearance Of vein.
The formation is very hard. One good
looking vein was crossed some dis
lance back, but probably 200 feet re-
mains to be run to reach the main
vein.
