Parties who visited the property dur
ing the past week express the belief
that it will prove one of the biggest
discoveries in that section, famous for
big things in the way of mines. Where
the discovery was made the ledge has
proved to be over 30 feet wide and
fully 6 feet of this is good milling ore,
with streaks and chunks of ore of
shipping grade Along with the ga
lena there is much copper pyrtes,
sufficient to indicate a commercial
value in copper as we'll as in lead. But
it is not believed the copper value is
permanent and it will probably dis
appear with depth. Another feature
of the ore is the absence of zinc While
the veins as a rule in that vicinity
carry a large percentage Of zinc, there
is at present no evidence of zinc in the
Beebe vein.
Lead in Three Claims.
The Beebe group consists of three
claims lying end to end and the lead
has been definitely located the full
length of all of them. A prospect

below the discovery simply to pros

plans are being considered to under.

INTERNATIONAL MINES.
Meeting of Stockholders Adjourned
to Date to be Designated.

Owing to the fact that a majority
of the stock of the company was not
represented, the meeting of the stock
holders of the international Mines,
which was called for last Monday
afternoon, adjourned to meet on date
to be named by the directors. The
property of the company consists Of
large group of claims, eight of nine Of
which are patented, lying northeast
of and adjoining the Dom Paul, in the
Burke mineral belt. The property has
been quite extensively developed and
is believed to have the same vein as
the Dom Paul. Some of the heavy
stockholders are E. L. Hale, A. ii.
Featherstone, James White, John
Wourms and w. ]. Hall. 1t is expec-
ted that another meeting of stock
holders will be called soon, when
officers will be elected and prepar-
ations made for a resumption of work,

sonably be assumed that the export
demand for lead will continue until
the end of the European war and
therefore a continuation of good prices
may be expected The war demand for
lead will therefore probably maintain
the price for year at least, when the
domestic situation should be improved
to an extent that the home market de-
mand should maintain the price where
lit is now. The outlook for lead Is bet
ter than it has been for many months
apc the people of the Occur d'Alenes
are justified in their optimism which
lis everywhere apparent.

Damian Gardener, a pioneer of the
died last week in Barcelona, Spain,
his native land, at the age of II. He
is survived by his wife and daughter,
both of whom were with him when the
end came. Morana Vinas, who con-
ducts a cigar and stationery store on
Cedar street, is cousin of Mr.. Car
doner and was employed for a time in
his store at Burke in the early days
Mr. Gardener came to the Coeur
dAlenes in 1885 and engaged in bust
ness in Murray. In 1887 he moved to
Burke, where he opened a general
merchandise store which did pros
porous business for many years. In
1897 he acquired from Harry orchard
who is now serving a life sentence in
the Idaho pententiary for the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg, a one
sixteenth interest in the Hercules
group of claims. In 1901 the bonanza
strike was made in the Hercules, and
about a year later Mr., Gardener turn
ed over the management of his mer-
camille business to Ed Hedin, now Of
this city, who three years later be-
came a partner and the business was
conducted as the Gardener Mercantile
company. In 1907 the business was
sold to the United Stores company.

Carlson Visits Mine.

Gus Carlson, Of Duluth, formerly
president of the Callahan,
and still a director arrived in the city
Monday and has since spent consider
able time at the mine, returning to
the east this morning. He expresses
himself as greatly pleased with the
condition of the mine and the work
that Is being done for its further
equipment and development. Mr..
Carlson is heavily interested in iron
mining on the ranges around Duluth
He and his associates in the Inter-
state Callahan are also owners Of the

is expected to be paid by the Success

Hunter is paying regular dividends,
but no information is obtainable upon
which to base an estimate of the
amount. The same is true of the On

REDUCTION OF THE LIGHT AND POWER

OPPOSITION WILL NOMINATE c. R. MoWERY FOR MAYOR BY
PETTloN-CTlzENs WILL FORCE ISSUES OF VITAL
IMPORTANCE PEOPLE,

The citizens ticket is pledged to
three specific propositions in which
the people Of Wallace are directly
concerned and the fulfillment Of
which means the saving of money to
every taxpayer and patron Of the light
and water company. The first of these
commits the candidates on the cit-
zens' ticket to a policy of retreneh-
ment TO meet the deficit that will be
caused by the loss Of the liquor IL
cense fund after the first of the year
The second pledges continuation of
the action started by the present
mayor and council to force a reduc-
tion of electric light and power rates
now charged by the Northwest Light
4 Water company, and the third eX-
plicitly pledges the candidates if elect
ed to be governed by the wishes of
Iabutting property owners in the mat
ter of future paving. These consti-
tute the vital issues of the campaign,
and the opposition will not be permit
ted to dodge or evade them. The cit
liens have made their position plain,
and the opposition must be equally
definite in defining its position on
these questions, or stand convicted OF
serving the interests of those who
hope to continue levying tribute upon
the people
Electric Rates the Big Issue.

the citizens ticket to reduction Of
electric light and power rates has

These three have had their
heads together for many weeks in

find a highly respected gentleman,

per month. This capacity can be con-
sideraby increased by crowding a lit

mill feed carries 80 per cent zinc and 6
per cent lead, and while good results
are now obtained, it is expected that
the improvements will effect closer

quite recently the market situation has
been such that zinc has taken most OF
