MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Importance Of Ore Stolen at Boise
Seems to Be Exaggerated.

There seems to have been little
foundation for the report that a large
amount Of ore from Idaho mines, that
for many years had been resting in the
old capitol building, had been stolen
and shipped to Salt Lake smelter
The truth Of the matter Is told in the
following brief paragraph from State
Treasurer Eagleson, custodian of the
state house:
For the benefit of those who are of
the opinion that all the ore In the col
lection was sold and the receipts
therefrom turned over to the capital
fund, | wish to say that Just exactly
two chunks Of ore were taken to the
assay office. These two chunks had
been lying outside the building on the
ground. The remainder, and the ma
Jor portion of the collection, Is still in
the old school building, and so far as
know there has been no decision re-
garding the disposition of 1t. 1t is not
up to me to decide. Moreover, what its
value Is have no means of determin
ing. | feel sure, however, that the
disposition of it will be proper one."

To Locate in Murray.
r. C. Berlin of Slatington, Pa, man
ager of the Penn Idaho Mining COM
pany, whose mining properties are To-
Gated on Butte creek, went home last
week to spend the holidays with his
folks. On his return, early in Janu-
airy, he will take up his residence In
Murray. Mr.. Berlin is graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania, and
has followed the profession Of civil
and railroad engineering in Pennsyl-
vania, and has also qualified as an as
sayer. On his return he will qualify
as mining engineer, and devote his
time to managing the mining property
on Butte creek and engineering. The
mining property is nearing a state of
development that is looking most
promising to him, and he expects to
make such a favorable report to the
company that will move the stockhold-
ers to put up the wherewithal to in
stall an air compressor and other ma
chinery to prosecute development work
on an extensive scale. The main tun-
mel is now nearing the ledge.
Power for the Paragon.
The Paragon Consolidated received
a 12ton boiler during the week, and
as soon as it is installed the companys
mine and the Blackhorse mill will be
started up. The Paragon has a fairly
good water power system, but the in
take is pretty high up on Prichard
creek and when the weather eondi-
lions are unfavorable the water sup
ply is cut short. This shortage rill
not interfere in the future. Had this
boiler been installed last fall, the high
price of lead and zinc would easily
have paid for the additional power be-
fore this. The Paragon is now equip
ped for continuous operations.

THE SILVER CABLE.
Best Showing of Ore Has Been Found
on West Side Of Fault


on West Side Of Fault.
A drift from the raise connecting
the lower and intermediate tunnels of
the Silver Cable, about ITO feet above
the lower tunnel, recently picked up
the vein on the west side of the fault
running north and south, at a point
about 80 feet north of the course Of
the vein. This is a highly important
development and practically proves
that the main ore body lies west of the
fault and renders 1t reasonably GER
tain that 1t win be found on the low
er level which is now being extended
and should find the vein on the west
side In not to exceed $50 feet. The ore
west OF the fault is reported to be of
the best grade that has been found in
tn mine and fills the face of the drift,
and how much more has not been de-
termined. Eight or 10 men are en-
ployed at the Silver Cable and devel-
opment Of the property viii proceed

ZINC AT BUTTE.
Butte & Superior Output Almost Half
That of Copper Mines.

butte q superior Output Almost Hall
That of Copper Mines.
In their weekly letter Hayden Stone
4 Co. give the following interesting
figures on the relative amount of zinc
and copper being produced in the
Butte district and the showing made
by Butte & Superior:
Despite the fact that November con-
tanned one less day than October,
Butte & Superior made a new high
record of production by wide margin
over the latter month. AS against a
treatment Of 1920 tons in October, 1t
handled last month 52,430, while the
production of zinc in concentrates was
l6,451,O00 pounds, as against 1891
600 in the previous month. The COM
pany has thus produced in the first
two months of this quarter about 81
$4,000 pounds of spelter, as against
27,S6S,000 pounds in the first two
months of the third quarter. Handling
this large volume of ore over 1900
tons daily in mill originally design
ed to treat 1000 tons, the recovery and
grade of production, 1892 per cent and
$685. per cent, as might have been ex-
pected, were a little under those of tn.

E. R. Tyler, a jewelry auctioneer,
who has been in Columbia several
days, draws a contrast between the
hotels in this city and those at the
Panama Canal, especially the Wash
ington Hotel on the Atlantic side,
where he stayed while visiting the
Canal.
The Washington, built by Uncle
Sam at a cost of $3.50. 900, is one Of
the finest hotels anywhere. Aside
from the accommodations in the way
of rooms and food. private swimming
pools and other Injuries are at the
disposal of the guests. The rates are
no higher than in the average hotel in
the States. Mr.. Tyler says.
While at the Canal, Mr.. Tyler hal
many opportunities to learn of the
wonderful system of fertilization the
government has constructed. The en-
tire bay Fl miles out on the Atlantic
side has been mapped in sections OF
forty square yards each, so that If a
hostile ship approached, the Big 16-
inch guns in the forts could be trained /
it with ease. Signal stations Sc
cure the range for the gunners.
