situation that several of the great
railroad extension projects pictured on
the accompanying map await but the
settling of troubled financial conditions
incident to war times.
Four Paper RAILROADS.
The four roads that have been talk
ed about for years. and which now
more than ever before are occupying
news and editorial space in western
newspapers. are as follows:
l. The famous water route of the
Northern Pacific from Twin Bridges on
the main line through Dillon, Arm
stead, Salmon and Lewiston Idaho to
Pasco, Wash, rejoining the main line
to the coast at this point.
2. The Boise -Winnemucca line which
would depart southwark from this line
at Salmon. on to Chahis. through a
tunnel in the mountains into Boise
and thence through Winnemucca, New,
over the Western Pacific to San
Francisco.
8. An alternate line running from a
point west OF Salmon westward through
Oregon and California to San Fran
CISCO
4. An alternate main line of the
Northern Pacific from Lolo, on the
Bitterroot branch. swinging south OF
the main line to Sites, Idaho and
thence over the Spokane line to the
main line again at Pasco.
Those are the four lines that have
been 80 much talked about and of which
the Post from information carefully
cleaned from railroad men of many
lines, publishes the first map.
Montana and Idaho.
The state of Idaho forms a converg-
ing point for the four railroad con-
struction projects that during the past
years have occupied acres of news
paper space While nothing definite
has been announced as to the start Of
work on either OF those four projected
lines, all of which have their incep-
tion in southwestern Montana, II lis
felt by Butte railroad men that the
construction of the four roads is an
absolute certainty and the only ques-
tion that remains to be solved is as
to when work will start on them.
Surveys for all these routes have been
completed years ago.
Railroad men who are asked this
question reply: when the trade in
the territories embraced in the pro-
posed construction work justifies the
expenditure of the vast sums of
money and when the money is avail
able" The business and the money
are the two stumbling blocks, it is
claimed, but when the time arrives.
billions will be spent and Idaho will
be the center of all the work, beyond
the shadow of a doubt according to
railroad men who are well posted on
the situation.
Idaho Needs Rails.
One fact stares out boldly from this
map Central Idaho has no railroads.
Another fact is palpable-the Gilmore
& Pittsburg addition to the Northern
Pacific lines provides a connecting
link. OF this point railroad men are
agreed-the country through which the
two lines to San Francisco would run
is very rich in grazing, agriculture
and timber, and much of 1t is full Of
mineral wealth.

There have been so many criticisms
of the showing which Idaho is making
at the Pan. -Pac. exposition that Idaho
ans who have not been there to see for
themselves have come to accept 1t as
a matter of fact that all we have Is
an empty building of no great preten-
tions in itself However, Charlie Ar
ney, who is a man of judgment and
good taste, has just returned from
San Francisco. and has come valiant
y to the defense of our exhibit
"I take issue with those who are
critizing the Idaho and Washington
states exhibits at the San Francisco
fair, because 1 believe those people from
these two states who are spreading
discomfort have not stopped to consider
the unmerited notoriety they are CIV
ing the two states nor have they had
ample opportunity to make comparisons
with the exhibits from other states" "
said Charles E. Arney, western i'm
migration and industrial agent of the
Northern Pacific, who only lately re-
turned from visiting both the San Fran
cisco and San Diego fairs accompanied
by Mrs. Arney.
''I wish to say that both the Idaho
and Washington states exhibits at San
Francisco compare very favorably with
the exhibits from other states. The
Idaho exhibits of agricultural and hor-
ticultural products are above the stan
dard in excellence and quality. 1 might
say they are Incompatible in many
respects. 1t is true that the exhibits
are widely scattered, that is, one ex-
hibit is in the agricultural building
while the other is in the horticultural
building, which is proper, and are plac-
ed in those buildings under requirement
of the exposition management. 1t Is
to be deplored that Idaho people should
return home to give out adverse. com

NEWsoME PLAcERs TO BE WORK.
ED ON LARGE SCALE.

Things are looking up in the New
some section in the placer line, ac-
cording to an interview given out by
the new owners of the Idaho Placer
Mines, located two miles from New
some and some thirty-five miles from
Grangeville. j. v. Pohman, of the
Pohman Investment company. of Spok-
ane. who recently purchased a con-
trolling interest in the Idaho Placer
Mines company, was in Boise last Sat-
urday and the Statesman after inter
viewing him says
sale recently made in the New
some mining district in the northern
part of the state may have the ef-
feet of revofutionizing the placer
mining industry in the west, and of
opening up regions OF untold wealth
to active operation.
The property is a long ridge of
gold bearing gravel, assaying to
Is cents to the cubic yard. There
are one hundred million yards in the
body which covers approximately
one thousand acres of ground.
These properties have never benn
| successfully operated. They have
been considered in a way, unlucky.
Several times the name has been
changed in an effort to make them
marketable. 1t is the belief of Mr..
Pohlman that the company's hydraulic
engineer has evolved a plan that will
bring success to the efforts to work
the ground This engineer estimates
that he can operate at a cost of two
cents a yard or even less. He has
worked out the matter so thoroughly
in estimate tables furnished to the
company that he has thoroughly con-
vinced them of his ability to live up
to his promises.
The plan proposed for working these
properties is simply the application of
the caving plan to hydraulic mining.
The company proposes to start work
| next week.
While the announcement that this
ground will be active soon Is encour-
| aging to the mining industry, the
promise OF the young engineer that
his plan will cut the cost of working
this and similar properties to such
an astonishingly low figure, is one
that means much to the mining indus
| try of the entire state II 1t is found
to be practicable.

GimoreP Psburg "The Road of Mystery" Still an Active
and Important Factor in the Development of the
Two Great Intermountain States Says
the Butte Daily Post

ways interesting to the readers of CEN
tral Idaho, knowing as they do the
Importance to the development of this
vast mineral and agricultural belt ly-
ing between the two extremes OF the
state of transcontinental line to
the western seaboard, the following
interesting comment on the present
situation is given for our readers per-
usal and digestion. That the Gilmore
Pittsburg road will eventually be built
along the lines suggested and which has
been frequently discussed through these
columns there is little doubt The
article says:
The Butte Daily Post OF last Fri
day publishes a railroad map Of north
western and coast states showing the
routes of several proposed new rail-
roads, which are backed by very
strong companies and give promise
OF realization In the near future. IN
der the map, the description Of these
various projects is outlined as follows:
That the next few years win wit
ness a period of unprecedented rail-
road building in Montana and neigh
boring states, seems to be the consen-
sus of opinion among railroad men OF
the west and of those who are watch
ing closely the development and rapid
settling of the agricultural districts
of these states. The recent acquisi-
tion by the Northern Pacific of the
mystery line of Idaho" the Gilmore
4 Pittsburg, has given an added i'm
petus to speculative railroad construc-
ton. New markets are to be opened
to the great productive regions OF
Montana, Idaho and Washington. -Four
great railroad building projects are
now under consideration by the execu-
tives of the Northern Pacific and, II
may be stated with accuracy, that some
of these same projects are also be-
ing considered by the chiefs of com
peting roads.
Many Are Interested.
The grab of the N. p. for the little
isolated Idaho railroad with it's tri-
weekly passenger service and its oc.
casional freight train, caused no sur
prise, for the Northern Pacific secured
title to that property just at the
moment when several other large sys-
TENS were considering the advisable
ity of adding the G. & p. to theii
holdings. This little line is the key
to several possible railroad route:

Mining Notes

Mr.. Gus Gleichauf, one of the hust-
ling prospectors of the Ten Mile dis
trict, was in town last week from the
South Fork where he made some quartz
locations on the south end of Black
Tain ridge having found a large body
of highly mineralized quartz and is now
digging for the pay-ore. 1t should
look very promising. He has great
faith in the Black Tail ridge, largely
on strength of predictions made a few
years ago by Mr.. t. ]. Bernard, a
mining geologist of reputation who then
visited the Ten Mile and Clearwater
country.
From appearance of the mountain for
nation and general geologic condition,
Mr.. Bernard was confident of a strong
lead going through that part of the
country which, with deep development,
might prove to be a Mother Lobe. He
recommend the use of diamond drills
for the exploration of valuable ore
deposits in depth.
Mr. Gleichauf is also owner OF the
Silver King group of gold quartz claims
adjoining the celebrated Smith Broth
ers' properties in Ten Mile.
He has a forty foot ledge partly open
ed up which pans high in concentrates
He is now going to develop this group
with tunnel.
