Our Governor.

Emerging from generalities to par

esteem as courteous quick witted
gentleman of unusual force and activ-
ity though as unskilled In construct

be in commanding a German subma-
rine. 1t Is not to his discredit that his
long life has been consumed In taking
toll from the necessities Of human
life, for we have not yet arrived where
we can command our wardrobe like

fault to enlarge upon that he never
made blade Of grass grow where
only sagebrush grew before: that in
the generative and formative period
Of our state he never participated in
any way in the broader activities and
risks incident to pioneer development
and building, such as only virile, red
blooded men who founded and have

contains in his temperamental system
not an ounce of constructive element
so absolutely vital and necessary to
true public and private service-it is
only his misfortune. Our experience

the Black Horse mill under lease and
for several months has been making
regular shipments of zinc concentrates
averaging little better than two cars
a month. UP to a week or so ago
about 1S men were employed, but a

sary to close down the mill and lay off
most of the men in the mine. BY con-

tended on the fifth level to an ore
shoot that has been encountered in the

the mine will be in good condition to
furnish ore for the mill when water
power is available in the fall.

THE LACLEDE.

Showing Continues Good, But Mo Ma,
teriaI Change.
Activity in Eaclede stock has ap-
parently created an impression that a
change of Importance has taken place
in the drift that is being run from the
bottom Of the shaft at depth Of 800
feet from the main tunnel. In re-
sponse to an inquiry on the subject,
however, e. G. Gnaedinger mining en-
gineer who is manager of the Laclede
stated, that there had been no change;
that the showing continues good and
encouraging, and that the drift will be
continued without interruption. The
vein is strong and there Is consider
able ore interspersed throughout the
face.

WORK STARTS|N H. E.&M.
SOON COMPLETE MILL
DRIFTING IN MAIN TUNNEL EAST
AND WEST-MILL FINISHED
BY SEPTEMBER is.

Work in the H. E. & M. mine has
been resumed and it is expected that
everything will be in readiness to sup
ply ore for the mill as soon as it is
ready to start Where the long cross
cut intersected the vein there is q
good showing of ore, and drifts have
been extended both east and west with
satisfactory results. The west drift
has been extended 80 feet and shows
a good face of milling ore, and the
same is true of the east drift, which
has beer extended 100 feet This drift
which is now only 200 feet from Au-
rora Sampson ground, will be driven
1000 feet, under the provisions of the
agreement just entered into between
the two companies. This work is now
in progress, and preparation is being
made to extend the wet drift also
The raise connecting No and No. I"
tunnels passed through much ore, and
in No there is an ore shoot 1870 feet
long and which in places Is Is feet
wide, all good milling ore according
to information received this week from
the mine. While it would have been
desirable to have more ground opened
up before starting the mill, the man
agement has no doubt that ore avail
able in No. 4 and No. will be ample
to supply the mill
Mill Will Soon Be Completed.
Work on the H E. g. M. mill is pro-
crossing rapidly and it is expected
now that it will be ready for operation
some time between September 1 and
Is. The ,tramway to connect the mine
and mill will not be built until some
time later. 1t will be about 1000 feet
long and the management proposes to
take the money for It's construction
out of the mine, The ore, therefore,
will be hauled by wagon to the mill
which will not entail a very heavy ex-
pense. The capacity of the mill will
be 100 tons per day, and 1t is said to
be modern and up-to-date in every
respect.
The Miner was asked a few days
ago what the initials forming the
name of the H. E. & M. mine stand
for, but was unable to give the in
formation. Since then 1t has learned
that the letters are the initials Of the
original owners, Howard Hazeltine, Fl.
v. Edwards and Alex Montgomery.

the week. He has undertaken to COM
pile mining directory Of Alaska and
the northwest and his purpose In
coming here was to secure data for
that publication. He found, however,
that the work would require much
more time than he could give to 1t
personally, so he expects to secure the
services of H. A. Rogers to compile
the information for him. Mr.. Newman
has undertaken big job, and If the
work is thoroughly done the publica-
ton of such a directory will prove Of

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Reports Of Recent Meeting Were
Somewhat Misleading.

The published report that re-
straining order was served by a Dull
nth court forbidding the Callahan
Boutin faction from voting 10000
shares Of Interstate Callahan stock in
the recent meeting of the directors is
not correct What did occur is that
the question was referred to a COM
mittee which reported against per-
Uniting the stock to be voted and
which report was adopted by the
meeting. Two sets of directors were
thereupon elected and 1t is expected
that the question of control will later
be tried out in the courts.

HYPOCRACY OF THE PRESS -T|MES1N| ITS
PRETENTOUS POSE BEHALF TAXPAYERS
BEEN LooTlNG THE PEOPLE FOR is
TRuE-suslNEss MEN DISCOVER THEY ARE


Having been defeated ins his at
majority in the council, the imported
hireling in charge of the Day organ
has adopted methods in keeping with
his villainous visage, Respected citi-
zens of this city who have been elect
ed to the council by the untrammeled
majority of the people are being sub
jected to insult and slander through
the columns of this libelous newspa-
per. Men of the highest standing who
have lived in this city for years be-
fore the importation of this character
assassin are referred to as men with
out honor and as betrayers of the peo-
pie they profess to serve. Because
they refuse to longer contribute to its
support, this paper characterizes them
as 'looters of the taxpayers" devoid
of decency," and with mo place In
public confidence and esteem"
And why this outburst of vitupera-
tion and calumny directed at men
against WuOIl IliCIC has hSN0A pSSAi
a breath of suspicion? Simply be-
cause the majority in the council have
seen fit to approve of the act of the
former council in making The Miner
the official paper of the city, and
thereby giving 1t the benefit of what
ever patronage the council has to dis
pose of in the way of publishing or
dinances and official notices. Up to
the beginning of TIE present aomin-
istration and extending oack four
years and probably longer the Press
Times was the official paper and as
such charged the legal rate for every
l'na it published, 81 per inch. 1t not
only did this, but since the present
council came in, through the officious
action of the city clerk, 1t has beer
given ordinances to publish and its
bills are now on file pending action al
the same identical rate.
And yet in the face of these facts
this brazen organ of the arrogant rich
has the effrontery to charge the ma
iority in the council and the publish
ers of The Miner with looting the
taxpayers because 1t is assumed that
this paper will be paid for the same
service at the same rate.

The West Hunter Mining company,

GETTYSBURG CONTROL
HELD BY THE STEWART
PROPERTY TO BE EXTENSIVELY
DEVELoPED-MAYBE BY THE
STEWART COMPANY.

The New independence Mining COM
pany, which was organized a few
months ago and took over the ground
lying between the Morning and Hun
ter and popularity known as the Gettys-
burg group, has been succeeded by the
Independence Lead Mines. The cap
italization of the company was in
creased from 100000 shares to 1,500,-
900 shares. The Gettysburg group
was sold by the receiver in connection
with the affairs of F. August Heinze,
who it appears held the property as
security for a loan made to Kennedy
J. Hanley. The property was bought
by John P. Mahoney and by him trans
ferred to the independence Mining
the incorporators of which
were John H. Wourms, r. M. Walker
and Chlodene Van Orstrand. The In

At the meeting of the council last
Monday evening Councilman Smith,
who appears to be the floor leader
for the Day Press Times crowd, as
chairman of the finance committee re-
ported that bills had been rendered
by both The Miner and Press shines
for publishing the same ordinances,
and as there appeared to be a ques-
ton as to which was the official pa
per, the committee would recommend
that both bills be allowed and that
bids be invited for advertising In the
future. Although Mr.. Smith made his
recommendation In the name OF the
committee, 1t is known that at least
one member of the finance committee
Mr.. Johnson, was not consulted on the
subject 1t may also be stated here
that there was never any question
raised In good faith as to which was
the official paper. The record was
there for any one who desired to read
showing that The Miner haA been duly
designated as the official paper The
so-called question as to which was
the official paper was sprung by City
Clerk Walker when the first ordin-
ance was passed by this council
While that gentleman's duties are
clearly defined, 1t is not uncommon
for him to usurp the power of the
council and supplant the city attor-
ney in interpreting the law. And so
he decided that The Miner had not
been legally designated as the official
paper and he gave the ordinance to
the Press Times for publication.
When asked for an explanation he
looked wise and said he had acted up
on legal advice, but declined to name
his adviser It is presumed that
Police Judge Walker advised City
Clerk Walker and he acted accord
ingly.
Mr.. Smiths recommendation that
the bills of both papers be allowed
and that bids be invited for advertis-
ing was submitted to vote and lost
by the following vote: Yes-smith
Mckay, Underwood. No-Beamer,
Reeves, Gilmore, Johnson, Nelson.
At this juncture the manager of the
Day organ came to the rescue OF the
outraged taxpayers, for according to
his own proposal he had been looting
them for years. Although the council
had just voted against inviting bids
his eagerness to relieve the oppressed
taxpayer impelled him to submit
proposition and thus show the dear
people that they had friend in him
and in the one he served, even If they
had not one in the majority. His bid
was to do all the advertising for the
city at cents per inch, being a re-
duction of 95 per cent from the rate

Hon. I. e, Rockwell, who as senator
from Blaine county, was one of The
most prominent and influential mem
bers Of the last state senate, arrived
in the city Tuesday evening and was
busy until yesterday afternoon neet-
Ing old friends and making new ones,
and in visiting some OF the mines and
mills of the district. Incidentally 1t
may be remarked that Mr.. Rockwell
was among the first arrivals In the
Occur d'Alene district, joining the
stampede that followed the discovery
of gold on Prlchard creek. That was
50 years ago. For the last l5 years
he has been engaged in mining in the
Wood River district, two of the best
known mines of the state being tirler
his control, the Minnie Moore and
Queen of the Hills. Both these prop
critics have been important producers
in years gone by, and the latter is s'ill
being operated by Mr.. Rockwell He
states that compared with conditions
a few years ago, there is much min
ing activity in the Wood River district
but, of course, on much more limited
scale than is found In the Goeur
d'Alenes. The ore there is geaerallv
and the ore bodies arc
generally smaller than here, but car.
ry much higher silver value.

What State Needs.

1--WE have been buncoed by first one
system and then another; we have
listened to prattle and preachment
we have cheered to a hoarse whisper
the parti- colored shirt, flung to tho
breeze labeled economy and
lower taxes as one alleged leader and
then another drove us to the polls on
ly to ultimately find the beneficiary ef
our passing delirium wallowing in tho
mud and slime Of personal ambition.
This phase or system Of decaying pol
itical activity in our state Is now cry
ing out in Its death throes, and there
is demand for real red-blooded
virile men to lead in the great con-
struction work in hand.

now being treated to, a sort of wild

Begin Work on Property.

1t is evidently the purpose of the
new company to extensively develop
the property, and the fact that the
Stewart people are understood to ge
directing the work leads to the belief
that 1t is being done by the Stewart
company. A few men are now en-
ployed in one of the upper tunnels of
the Gettysburg and additional men are
soon to be added. The Gettysburg
and independence groups are regarded
as highly valuable property. The for
mer has been quite extensively ex-
plored by three tunnels and consider
