NEW MINE DEVELOPMENT.

The depression of the money and
metal markets and the general bust
ness Of the country has caused large
number of development mining COM
panies in this district to levy assess
ments for the protection of their prop
critics, and because Of this great deal
of important development work is now
going forward on numerous properties
1t is almost impossible to sell stocks
of any kind, however attractive they
may appear and many companies were
forced back to the assessment plan for
the reason that they could raise money
in no other way. The depression came
at time when it was necessary to
perform the annual assessment work,
and as no money could be raised from
the sale of stock the companies Were
forced to adopt the only course open
to them. Many Of these properties
have good bodies Of ore opened up.
and under ordinary prosperous condi-
tions their stocks would be selling
from 10 to % cents. Today they are
being offered at and 3 cents. per
share with no market at that price.
The wise man who takes advantage
of these conditions Is the man who will
make the big clean up when conditions
become normal even If he has to wait
for a republican administration to
bring it about.
Fifty-one mining corporations in the
vicinity Of Wallace have assessments
levied and in the course of payment.
The total combined number of shares
Of stock Of these corporations aggre-
gate 64,5O0,00 shares, while the ag-
gregate capital stocks of such COM
panies amount to $62,250,OOO OF these
corporations 10 are capitalized for ST.
100000, "a at 100000, four at ST.
100000, two at $125,OOO and three at
$4,000, 900. Assessments range from l
mill to cents per share on the out
standing capital stock. The total
amount Of money raised by these as
sessments, assuming that the capital
stock of each corporation is all issued,
would amount to $279,625. 1t is fair
to estimate that at least three ourths
of the capital stock of these corpora
tions is issued and subject to assess
ment This would return a net sum
of more than 100000 to the treasures
of these various corporations for i'm
mediate use in the development and
other needs of the properties. OF the
more than one-half is paid to miners
employed and the remaining portion
is expended for machinery tools pro-
visions and necessary improvements
There are, without doubt, 200 corpora
tions in the district that are develop
ing their properties by the assessment
system and it is fair to estimate that
more than 100000 is annually collect
ed and expended in the Occur dAlene
district for the development of its
many promising legitimate mining
properties

Drum and trumpet and banner, ban

Wet eyes star-blind of those behind
who pay for the nations wars

dear Lord for immemorial wars).
Cheers and shouts greet the headlines
that tell of the battle won.
Who remembers the death-wrecked

handful lost"
Only! We bore those bodies, and we
know what bodies cost!
(Mothers and wives of the soldiers
dead--who better can gauge the
cost?)
Man is blinded by passion, by glory or
gold or power.
Shall we not see more clearly when it
comes to the woman's hour?
Before we loose helPs lightning that
shall prove a cause through strife,
Shall we not weigh the price we pay
when the payments in human life?
CDear Lord, we know by each birth
throe the value of human life).
Counselors, kings and rulers We take
what we can not give.
Can We say to the things in the
trenches, BE whole, rise up and
live?"
Do We know-who have killed your
thousands by a word from death
tipped pen
One little pang of the cost to those who
breed you your fighting men?

and souls but the mothers and
wives of men?)

Ultimately my optimism was justified, and painting

Nevertheless boarded the train having first invested
