|DAHO.NEvADA COMPANY
HOLDS SPECIAL MEETING
TO CONSIDER DOUBLING THE AS
SESSMENT TO SINK CAS-
TIE ROCK SHAFT.

A special meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Idaho Nevada Exploration
company will be held at the office OF
the company In the Eagle block Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose OF de-
Gliding upon the advisability of in
creasing the regular bimonthly assess
ment of | mill per share to mills. The
company took over the Castle Rock
group of claims on Placer creek about
year ago, and in order to provide the
money for its development the stock in
the corporation was issued free upon
condition that the holders would pay
an assessment of l mill every 60 days.
All the stock of the company was is
sued on that basis and the plan has
worked to perfection. The property
has been equipped with compressor,
hoist, pump, all necessary buildings
and a flume has been built to convey
an excellent water power, Work has
been going on without interruption and
the results have been highly staisfac-
tory. Considerable high grade copper
ore has been taken out, a carload OF
which was a few days ago shipped to
the smelter
To Provide for Sinking.
In order to determine the extent and
value Of the large ore body that has
been exposed it is necessary to extend
the shaft to a depth of at least 200
feet and explore the vein on that
level. The regular / mill assessment
is not sufficient to accomplish this
work economically and 1t is therefore
proposed to double the amount until
this work is accomplished. 1t is be-
Elieved by those best informed on the
property that when the vein is opened
at 200 feet it will be possible to make
the property pay for its own develop
ment through ore shipments, but whe-
ther this proves true or not, from a
practical mining standpoint 1t Is re-

A South Idaho View of the Attitude OF
Spokane.
The claim of the Spokesman Review
that there is strong support for the
new state scheme is answered in this
way by the Boise Statesman:
"The Spokane Spokesman Review
declares the idea of creating a new
state of eastern Washington and north
Idaho will not down and that 1t has
strong support at Olympia and Boise
"A memorial to congress asking for
the creation Of the state Of Lincoln ~
melting the two sections mentioned
was favorably reported by the Wash
ington senate committee, but there Is
small chance of its adoption by either
branch of the Washington legislature
"There is absolutely no sentiment
here in favor of the project If we may
Judge from the close harmony pre-
vailing between the north and the
south. Instead of wanting divorce
they ask to have the bonds tightened'
spokane has long thrived on north
Idaho cream. 1t has enjoyed a geo.
graphical advantage which it Will lose
as soonsas north and south Idaho can
have direct transportation connection.
It Is natural Spokane should contlnu"
to urge the establishment of boundar-
les that would also make north ldaho
its meat politically
spokane seems to be in entire mar
mony with itself on this subject. Ihe
o,1v dissent so far is from the rest OF

filed few weeks ago by the Washing

of the commission in reversing its de-

thus throwing it open to competition,
1t is not likely that it will take any

ZINC MINES CROWD OUTPUT.
Two Companies Increase Their Forces
to the Maximum.

Two Companies Increase Their Forces
to the Maximum.
While the zinc operators increase
their profits through the greatly ad-
vanced price Of the metal, the direct
benefits do not stop there. A strong
market and increased production
means employment of more men and
the consumption of more supplies, and
this feature is strikingly in evidence
these days on Nine Mile, where are To-
Gated the two largest producers Of
zinc In the district. The Success mine
the pioneer zinc mine Of the district, Is
working every man that can be used
to advantage, with the result that the
company's shipments show a substan-
tjal increase. Development work In
the shaft is being pushed as rapidly
as possible, and the ore bodies in the
lower workings are proving most sat

the magnetic separator turns out high
grade concentrates, which are render
ed more profitable by being subjected
to a drying process which practically
eliminates all moisture from ship

ing change from market that has
for so long period been weak and in
active The worst feature of the lead
situation is that there seems to be no
tangible reason for the advance, and
seems to be more the result of SYM
pathy with other metals rather than
from an improved market. However,
there has been considerable lead ex-
ported recently and it Is possible that
there may be additional calls for the
metal from foreign quarters. There is
nothing to indicate that the advance
in price is due to any increase in the
domestic demand.

THE SONORA.

The shaft that was started on the
vein in the Sonora was sunk about 40
feet. When about half way down the
dip of the vein carried it out of the
shaft, and from the bottom of the
shaft a crosscut has been run to it.
This crosscut has been run about so
feet. the last 30 feet being across the
vein and having more or less ore for
that distance The ore is galena Of
good grade, but does not lie in COM
pact mass. Drifting has now been
started east from this point and the
developments are being watched with
much interest. The showing is very
encouraging, perhaps the best that has
been made in the property.

third to its present capacity will be

The last few weeks have witnessed
rapid advance in the price of spelter
that has brought JOY to the hearts of
Coeur d'Alene producers, and has ex-
erted an optimistic Influence through
out the district. The first of the week
the metal reached the $S mark and
the demand remains strong and sutil-
cient to absorb the increasing out
put. The high price has naturally had
an immediate effect upon production
and every operator is running to the
utmost capacity, How long this rec
ord price will maintain is problem
that no man can solve, for the domes-
tic market has little or nothing to do
with it. The demand comes from
Europe and is the direct result of the
cessation of zinc mining and smelling
there and the cutting off of the Aus
tralian product. Under these circum-
stances 1t Is certain that it will last
until the close of the war; and all au-
thorities seem to agree that the war
will last for year at least. The zinc
miners, therefore, seem to be in an
enviable position for that period, and
they are not in a mood to borrow
trouble by trying to figure out what
will happen after that time. Inciden-
tally, the high price of spelter has
created an unusual inquiry for zine
mines. The opening of new mines and
the increased output of old ones bids
fair to make this a record year for the
United States in zinc production.
Copper Continues to Advance.
While this district has never beer

bilities in that direction are very great

Great Power Development.

another dam about nine miles below
Thompson and has sites for two more

power development along that stream

pany Is not making the enormous In
vestment necessary to utilize this
power without first having a definite
use for large part of II at least. The
company Is now under contract to fur
nish power for the electrification OF
the Milwaukee which will be supplied
by the Great Falls and Thompson
Falls plants. 1t is now believed tha
the company has entered into al
agreement with the Northern Pacific
to furnish that company power fol
