How Purple Dye Was Discovered,

1t is often said that the old Phoeni-
clans discovered the purple dye In the
murex shell by observing dog which
had eaten one Of the mollusks and
thus colored his chops with rich pur-
pie stain. The ancients were accus-
toned to hunt the murex by the as
sistance OF pointer dogs. Some of the
myths say that Heracles by the aid of
his dog first discovered the purple
murex.

GOOD SHOWING OF ORE
AT THE AMAZON.D|X|E
RECENT STRIKE EVIDENTLY BE.
GINNING OF A GREAT
ORE SHOOT.

Wesley Everett. manager Of the Am
companied by Mrs Everett, was in the
city the first of the week Asked re-
garainE the strike that was made in
the Amazon Dixie just before Christ
mas, an account of which was pub
lished in The Miner. Mr. Everett stat.
ed that the drift on the ore had not
advanced far since the strike was
made, but that what work had been
done showed the ore holding its own,
and if any change had taken place it
was for the better The width Of the
ore is strong feet, all of good milling
grade. The vein, however, has widen
ed from 9 feet to 10 feet. At this point
the drift is being made double the
usual width In order to make room
for sidetrack, and this work demon -
strated the great increase in the width
of the vein.
Looks Like Beginning of Big Ore Shoot
While greatly pleased with the show
ing now made in the Amazon Dixie
and confident that it is the making of
a great mine, Mr.. Everett is not per-
mitting his enthusiasm to upset his
judgment in the matter of handling the
property. He fully expects the con-
tinuation of the drift to develop an ore
shoot of great value, and several hun
dred feet remain to be run before he
reaches point where he expects the
largest body of ore. This work will
be done, raises made and probably
crosscuts run to block out and prove
the extent and value of the ore bodies
before any definite action will be TAX
en- by him toward providing a mill for
the treatment of the ore. In short,
Manager Everett proposes to have a
mine with the ore available before he
builds a mill 1t is expected that more
rapid progress will be made from this
time forward as all preliminary work
is now pretty well rounded up.

in Coeur dAlene last Monday The
old board of directors was reelected,
as follows: ]. H. Smith and H. E.
Howes of Wallace, Boyd Hamilton and
Mr. Broughton Of Occur d'Alene, and

There is no work going on at the
Square Deal now, Messrs. Johnson and
Jefford having completed their contract
a few weeks ago. The directors have
authorized the sale of limited amount
OF treasury stock to provide for re-
sumption of work. and it is expected
that a contract to extend the drift at
least fifty feet will soon be let The
last work on the property was short

naturally occupying the attention Of
the people down there, and they ap-
pear to be absolutely confident that
the attendance Is not going to suffer
to any great extent on account Of the
European war or through unsettled
business conditions in this country. As
an evidence Of the interest manifested
Mr.. Devlin stated that there had now
been over 100000 paid admissions to
the Panama Pacific exposition. The
buildings are all practically completed
and exhibits are being placed in posi-

for approximately 60 feet and shows
q continuous ore body all the way.
one body of ore which approxlmates
first class was disclosed some weeks
ago. This was over feeAin Width
and proved to be a widening out OF
the venp but an average assay over
2S feet of the drift then driven show
ed an average of 20 per cent ore two
feet and a half wide for the distance
driven Since then the drift has been
continued and the average maintain
ed up until Wednesday of this week
when reports came in that another
body Of high grade had been shot in
to. The first round disclosed ore
across the entire face Of the drift,
coming up from the bsttom and ex-
tending to within a short distance of

at less than 200 feet to a point where
the Caledonia vein should enter the

Letter to Stockholders.
AT recent meeting Of the board of
directors the question of further fin
ancing of the company's property was
the main feature Although the di-
rectors We're agreeably surprised at
the great showing of ore on the 300
foot level in a place where ore was
scarcely expected, we nevertheless
have to raise large sum Of money
to open up the ore body before con-
centrator can be built from the pro-
ceeds of the bonds, and owing to the
great financial trouble all over the
world. we are now trying to develop
the mine without asking the stock
holders for any further assessments.
Whether or not we will succeed we are
not able to state at this time, but ten
tatlve arrangements may be ma lie with
the underwriters of our bonds to fur
nish the necessary money for develop
ment and equipment for two NJ )nths
and we sincerely hope to be able to
continue the financing without aid
from the stockholders. Should we fail
to do so we may be compelled to re-
turn to the levying of further assess
ments.

MILL IS STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION

PRoVEMENT-FoREeN DEMAND THE MAINsTAY--
MINE MAKING IT'S USUAL OUTPUT

, Frozen ground and sufficient snow
to make first class sleigh roads have
greatly facilitated hauling ore from the
Interstate Callahan mine and mill to
the railroad, a distance of about two
miles. The mill is running at capacity
and the usual shipments of concen-
trates and crude ore are being made
However the market for zinc is not
strong and American producers are to
a great extent dependent upon foreign
demand. The war has caused large
export trade in spelter and the price
in this country is fixed largely by the
bids from foreign countries. IT is for
this reason that spelter has not for
some time been quoted in the New
York metal market At the present
time the price is about $5.55, but pro-
ducers see evidences of an improved
domestic market at an early date, and
when that materializes spelter should
reach $6 or better.

TUSCUMB|A LEASED TO
EHRENBERG AND NELSON
TWO CAPABLE MINING MEN TAKE
HOLD OF VALUABLE SUM-
SET PROPERTY.

A meeting of the directors of the
Tuscumbia Mining company was held
in this city last Saturday to consider
the matter Of leasing the company's
property near Sunset peak The ne
gotiations between the company and
Gus Ehrenberg and Albert Nelson re-
suited in closing the deal whereby the
latter take over the Tuscumbia under
lease. The property is one of the most
prominent in the Sunset section and
development work has exposed a large
amount of ore. Last year a raise was
made connecting No. tunnel with
No. 8, resulting in making available a
large amount of ore much of which
can it is believed be sorted and ship
ped at a profit.
May Use ldora Mill.
The Tuscumba was under bond to
the Idora company, thA pond expiring
last year. Practically all the ore that
was run through the Idora mill came
from the Tuscumbia. While nothing
has been made public regarding the
plans of the leasers, it is regarded as
probable that they will utilize the
Idora mill. Messrs. Ehrenberg and
Nelson are practical mining men of
large and varied experience, and it is
expected that they will make a big
success with the Tuscumbia.

The Situation in Europe.


The great centers of zinc smelling
and mining are in Belgium and Ger
many. The war has of course for the
present destroyed the industry in those
countries and other European coun-
tries which have heretofore been sup
piled from Belgium and Germany arr
now dependent upon the United States.
England is the largest consumer of
spelter and it is stated that the Brit
ish government has been a large pur,
chaser in this country since the begin
ming of war; Spelter is used largely
in making galvanized iron, and the war
has made an annual demand for this
product. Vast quantities of galvanized
iron have been shipped by the British
government to the long battle line to
provide covering for the trenches occu-
pied by the allies. Neutral countries
of Europe have also become heavy pur-
chasers of spelter, owing to the fact
that they are shut out from their usual
source Of supply in Belgium and Ger

Reports from the Castle Rock are of
the most encouraging character, and
the conviction Is growing that Placer
creek, which has for 50 many years
been a disappointment in mining de-
Ivelopment, is soon to have at least one
great mine Should this prove true
there is no doubt that the impetus Civ
en- to mining in that section through
the successful operation of the Castle
Rock would lead to the discovery of
other ore bodies of equal merit. So
far as surface Indications go, there is
no more promising field in the Occur
ld'Alene district than the territory
drained by Placer creek. Heavy iron
loutcrops to well defined ledgcs are
common, while the formation is gen.
orally favorable to ore deposits. But

Underaround Work.

The former work on the Castle ROCK
consisted Of a crosscut to the vein and
far beyond it, drift of several hun
dred feet and a shaft 65 feet deep at
the point where the vein was inter
sected. In taking over the property
the Idaho Nevada company decided
to sink the shaft to a depth of 200
feet. This necessitated cutting out a
chamber around the shaft, and 1t was
while doing this that a pocket or
chimney of rich copper ore was found
against the hanging wall just west of
the shaft.
From the bottom of the shaft drift
was run west for nearly 100 feet that
showed more ore and better grade
than was found in the old drift just
above, and from this drift a crosscut
to the hanging wall showed the vein
to be 65 feet wide with ore all through
1t, but with the best showing next to
the foot wall This prospecting work
