CENTRAL IDAHO MINES
INCREASED ACTIVITY
COPPER is BECOMING AN I'M.
PoRTANT PRopucT-cLAY.
TON MINES WILL START.

The Mackay Miner sees a bright out
look for mining in central anu south
eastern Idaho, and comments on the
ltualiun as follows:
The Empire mine never did look
better That is the report that comes
from the mines. lessees and the off,
Gals of the company, and to back up
the statement there is perfect

over one hundred and thirty miners

parts of the mine.
Good Outlook for Copper.
And, best of all, Frank M Leland,
the president and general manager of
this big producing property, that each
year adds materially to the Idaho out
put of the red metal, is very optimistic.
In the past, it will be remembered
when the old man" was optimistic
there has generally followed a season
of prosperity in which all shared. So
this portends prosperity again. Not

operations, such as are now going on,
but he is also looking for the price of
the red metal to continue to 0dvance.
The settling price of copper from the
Empire mine is now $14.621a and, with
the abundant production of a good
money can be made by the lessees and
the company alike, and with better

effort will be put forth
to make the ore production reach the
maximum each day.
AS conditions warrant more men are
being added and the production in

her people will prosper.
Reopen Clayton Mines.
Mr.. e. Anderson, one of the former
officials Of the company operating the
mines at Clayton, was here this week,
and after trip to the property in
forms the Miner that he looks forward
to a resumption of operations for the
mines and the large, new smelter at
that place.
After many years Of idleness Mr.
Anderson became interested in COM
pany that resumed operations and, up
in the management of the concern. 1t
Is now his intention to revive the prop
erty, and with this in view he visited
he camp and states that he is well
pleased with the condition of the mine
md the new plant that was installed
since he retired from active manage

BIG LEAD SHIPMENTS
GOING TO EUROPE
BETWEEN 10000 AND 5000 TONS
SOLD FOR EXPORT DURING
LAST WEEK.

According to a New York dispatch
of March y, foreign interests have
been heavy buyers of lead in Ameri-
can markets for some time past. These
purchases are presumably for the
manufacture of bullets for the armies
in the field, most of the shipments GO
Ing to Great Britain with a consider
able portion to Russia. French buy
ing has been unimpOrtant as France
can get supplies of lead in Spain,
1t is estimated that during the past
week sales for export called for be-
tween $4,000 and 5000 tons of the
metal. This compares with a normal
export movement of about 5000 tons
month The shipment of lead from
Omaha to the coast, amounting to
5000 tons, made few days ago, is only
part of single order for a total of
around 10000 tons taken last month,
for delivery in February, March and
April. This company has received q
number of other orders from foreign
are experiencing the same activity.
Lead for Ammunition.
The war has also benefited lead pro-
ducers in the domestic market, as
American manufacturers of ammuni-
ton have also bought a large guam
tity Of the metal to fill foreign orders
and are still buying heavily. The re-
suit has been a noticeable increase in
the price of lead within the last month
or two.
Lead producers are experiencing the
same difficulty III obtaining bottoms
for the transportation of their product
and fulfillment of their contracts as
are shippers in other lines of industry.
Freight room as is very we'll known.
is exceedingly scarce. Lead shippers.
however, have partly overcome the
difficulty by distributing their ship
ments through a large number of
ports.

A RICH GOLD STRIKE
IN WASHINGTON COUNTY
LONG SEARCHED FOR LEAD RE-
PORTED FOUND BY ACCI-
DENT BY RANCHERS.

According to an account published
has been made II miles north Of Cam
bridge that promises to make upper
Washington county known as min
ing center. While the strike was made
several months ago it was kept per-
fectly quiet for some time and only re-
Gently, after an option has been clos
ed and preparation for development
made has the public known the par
ticulars. 1t has been thought for many
years that there was a rich lead on
Cuddy mountain, and it has been a
common occurrence to pick up float
on the south slope that assays from
$50 a ton upwards. The old timers
say that prospectors have hunted for
it for more than so years. 1t is said
that Stratton, the locator of the STRAIT
ton Independence mine, hunted for
this lead before he made his famous
strike in Colorado The Caswell bro
theirs tried to locate it before they
made the strike that caused the SEN
sational rush into Thunder Mountain
Ia years ago. When the present mine
was found there was an old discovery
hole within $50 yards of the place
where the lead was struck. It seems
that heretofore pr0spectors have only
been able to find cross leads that gave
low assays. There is a well credited
story of a lost mine on Cuddy noun
tain. The locator of this mine died
before he could convey the news to
the outside 1t is believed that this
lost mine tapped the ledge of the re-
cent strike and of late years numer-
Gus prospectors have been busy to re-
locate IT..
Found by Accident.
The lucky prospectors in this in
stance were Frank Peck and John
Freeze, two well known and prosper

Adams county They had hunted for

because Of the illness of Freeze, were
on their return home when luck came

RAILROADS MAY REFUSE
FREE TRANSPORTATION
NEW LAW APPEARS TO PLACE
OFFICERS UNDER OBLIGA-
TION TO COMPANY.

Application blanks and other forms
necessary for use in the securing Of
free transportation under the act of
the thirteenth session of the legisla-
ture are now being prepared and mail
ed out by the public utilities commits
sion which is charged with the adj
mnistration of the law. A letter was
also sent out Saturday by the govern
or suggesting a mode of procedure to
be followed by county officials, says
the Boise Statesman
The governor recommends that all
officers apply for their transportation
over the Oregon Short Line, first to
Joel L. Priest, general agent Of the
road in Boise After securing his ap-
prevail they are to apply to the utili-
ties commission, if they follow the
suggestion of the governor.
Doubt Wisdom of Law.
While they are bound to administer
the law, members of the commission
are inclined to doubt its efficacy or adj
visibility. They point out that under
it the transportation companies are
given power to grant or refuse to issue
free transportation.
They are of the opinion that the law
affords the companies an opportunity
to influence public officials. Already
the governor has undertaken an adj
iustment of appropriations whereby he
has cut down travelling expenses with
the understanding that state officials
ARE to receive transportation.
Gives Company Dangerous Advantage,
The commissioners are inclined t.
believe the railroad companies are
thereby given a chance to cripple an
official they do not like by refusing
him transportation and by that means
preventing him from properly doing
the work of his office. They do not
believe any company will take such
action, but they see the opportunity.
Under the constitution the COM
mission thinks it would have been i'm
possible to pass valid law compelling
the railroad companies to issue free

Peck stuck his pick into the ground a
few feet away and hit the ledge at a
their last attempt the locators have
named the mine The Last Chance"
Lead Opens Well.
The lead was opened up in several
places to a depth of 16 o 20 feet fol-
lowing the ledge a distance of 1900
feet A tunnel was run 1885 feet. At
every place the ledge showed a width
of from to II feet with assays of
from $25 to $1,000 a ton in gold, with
small traces Of silver In some speci-
mems the gold can be detected with
the naked eye at distance of 80 feet.
The body of the ledge lays between
rhyolte and granite formations. The
top Of the ledge is a free milling poop
CsitiCn and is believed will continue s
tlr Dughout its depth. Experienced
miners say that it has the earmarks
Of big mine.
Since the strike has been made
here is considerable excitement. Sew
eral claims were staked out in the
immediate vicinity of the mine late
last fall and a rush is expected as soon
as the snow leaves. In spite o. the
difficulties there are now some local
prcspectors at work locating claims
and all indications point to a mining
camp on Cuddy mountain.

There is an impression in som,
quarters that because owners of som,

outside the state, that their operation
is in the interest of nom residents ant
of secondary importance to the peopl,
of Idaho. No one who is familiar will

Grating companies through payroll'
and the purchase of supplies enter,
tains such a view. on this point c. +
Kelly, vice president and managins
director of the Anaconda Copper com,
pany. gave some interesting figures il
connection with the operations of tina
great company in Montana which APP.
ply with equal force to Idaho. The
following is from the Butte Miner:
Tremendous Production of Butte.
According to statistics gathered by
the Anaconda company, Montana has
produced total of 6,164 4S9 052
pounds of copper since copper mining
began in Butte; 4O5,1S9 263 ounces OF
silver and 5,931.926 ounces of gold
Butte alone has produced 5,S6S SIS, 042
pounds Of copper of a value Of $S65,-
794S71: 17511S,S3S ounces of silver
valued at $191, 765,310, and 1,270,739
ounces of gold worth $26.26S.51 the
total value of the three metals produc-
ed from Butte ores being $1,0S3, sos. 007.
Of this total at least $750,000,000 was
spent by the mining companies in
wages and for supplies of various
kinds directly in the state.
Mr.. Kelly Talks.
"There lis an impression prevalent to
the effect that the mining companies
of Montana are engaged in extracting
from the state enormous wealth that
is shipped out of the state and that
does the state practically no good"
says c. F. Kelly vice president and
managing director of the Anaconda
company, in commenting on these fig
ures Nothing could be farther from
the truth There are very few bust
ness ventures in which the return upon
the capital invested Is smaller than the
copper business, with wide fluctuation
in the markets, making it questionable
at times whether a sufficient return
can be obtained to justify continued
operation. During the last five years
