After an exhaustive examination of
the books and records of the city, l.. c,
Wilson, the expert accountant en-
ployed for the purpose, reported to the
council at the last meeting that he
found the books Of the city in balance
and all cash properly accounted for.
There had been some minor defects in
the manner Of keeping the files which
should be remedied in order to facii-
int checking, but In all essential re-
spects the books and records of the
city were found correct, This report
evidently escaped the attention of the
morning organ in its report of the
council proceedings 1t has been only
a few weeks since It was devoting It's
energies to creating the impression
that there was something rotten in the
records under the former admlnistra-
ton and now It lacks the fairness and
candor to publish the report that
proves its inslnuations without founda-
tlon.

THE NAM MOTH.

George Austin, who recently or
ganized a company, largely of local
men, to develop a group of claims near
Bonita, Mont, left for the property
Tuesday morning, accompanied by a
representative of parties who are con-
sidering investing in a large block of
the stock of the company The prop
erty is described as one of exceptional
merit, the limited development work
showing up several feet of lead-siver
ore, much of which is of shipping
grade. From Mr.. Austin it is learned
that several men of large means are
considering heavy investment in the
stock. Since the formation of the new
company development work has been
started which will open the property
at depth, and much confidence is felt
that a large body of commercial ore
will be disclosed.

ELABORATE PROGRAM
FORFOURTH OF JULY
DR.. BRANNoN WILL BE THE ORA
TOR OF THE DAY--LlBERAL
PRIZES OFFERED.

Wallace Is preparing to celebrate the
Fourth Of July in more elaborate
style than has ever before been un-
dertaken, and that is putting 1t pretty
strong, for this city is noted for big
demonstrations in honor of the nations
birth. But this year the Fourth com
ing on Sunday three days will be re
CURED to do full justice to the occa.
sion and features Of absorbing inter
est win be staged for each day, begin
ming Sunday, the fourth. The pro
gram of sports viii appeal to every
taste, and liberal prizes will insure n
lively competition. The always popu-
lar drilling contest Is certain to at
tract a large number OF entries and
give the people chance to see the
best hammersmen at work. As usual
this contest will be given the largest
prize, for it is typical of our great IN
dustry and also involves great
amount of physical training and is g
severe test to physical endurance. The
mucker's contest is also literally pro-
vided for and can be depended upon tc
attract many contestants and mucf
popular interest These are only few
of the big features of a program Of
rare merit.
DR.. Brannon the Orator.
The people of this city and the large
number of visitors who will observe
the Fourth here are to be congratu
lated upon having an opportunity t.
hear Or. M. A. Brannon deliver the adj
dress on July 3. The fact that he i
president of the state university should
create an unusual interest in his 40
dress, for in his high position at the
head of the states chief educationa
institution his influence is most pro
nounced in impressing and shapins
the lives of thousands of young mer
land women of Idaho. But aside from
this, DIR. Brannon Is a man of tn
highest educational attachments ant
is public speaker of exceptions
force and ability His presence vii
insure unusual attention to the pa
triotic portion of the program, and thi
in itself Is a contamination devout'
to be wished.

INTERSTATE CALLAHAN.
Earnings of the Company Are Now at
the Rate of So Per Share Per Month

Skilling's Mining and Market Letter,
published in Duluth, where the main
office of the Interstate Callahan is To-
Gated, has the following:
"This great zinc, lead and silver
property is earning 81 share per
month. New contract Just made with
the American Metal company runs for
period of ten years, and calls for mini
mum production of 5000 tons zinc per
month. The company is enjoying an
extraordinary prosperity on present
production of about 5000 tons per
month, and with increased facilities
which are being produced as rapidly
as possible, will enjoy still greater
prosperity"

NORTH FORK ORE RATE.

Mile Competitor.

Mile Competitor
The arbitrary charge of 81 per TN
on ore shipments from Prichard. en-
the Norh Fork branch of the O-W r
& n. has been discontinued. This
move was made in order to place the
company on an equal basis with the
Northern Pacific on Nine Mile in bid
ding for ore shipments from Beaver
creek. The Northern Pacific makes no
additional charge for shipments de-
llyered on its branch at Bum station
while the O-W r. Il N. has been add
lnq an arbitrary charge of 81 Tor ore
delivered at Prlchard The result was
that shippers could contract to have
orc hauled over the divide to Bum
which would give an Advantage over
shipment by Prichard, although ,he
haul to The North Fork Is all down
grade. TO meet this situation and
give Il a chance to compete for the
business Of Sunset the O-W r, & ~
company cut out this arbitrary charge.
since the above was written The
Miner Is Informed that the reduced
rate applies to all points on the Muir
ray branch which means a saving Of
from $40 to $50 on every car of ore

THE TUSCUM BlA.

Repairs at the Idora Mill Should Be
Completed in a Week.
Within the next week 1t is expected
that the Idora mill will be running on
Tuscumba ore. Many changes and
improvements have been made and eX-
cellent results are anticipated in re-
covering the values in the ore The
tramway has also been readiusted and
repaired, and the mine is in readiness
to turn out the ore, Having secured a
market for the ore, there seems now
nothing to prevent the leasers from
earning a good profit, particularly with
the present record prices for lead and
zinc. The ore win be hauled to the
North Fork branch of the OW. r. &
n, whore spur is being put in to
facilitate loading.

What They Found.

In No. 4 the east drift has been ex-
tended to the end line, which is iden-
tical with the west end line of the
Pandora, and the face or the drift
shows Il little ore. Crosscuts from this
tunnel level have established the no.
sitinn of the vein and the south or
contact fault.
ON the GOO level, driven from the
shaft, there has been no prosecuting
from the east drift within 500 feet OF
the east end line or the west end line
az the Pandora. The last crosscu'
showed the south fault to be over So'
feet from the drift The 600 level was
found to have been extended $50 feet
into Pandora ground with crosscuts
north and south Of 50 feet each. The
real minerallzed area between this face
and the south fault remains unpros-

TIE Carbonate Hi.

The recent strike on the Carbonate
Hill is one of the most important that
has been made in the district in recent
years, in the opinion Of those who have
examined it. The first of the week the
face of the drift showed three ana
half feet of ore that carried Is per
cent lead SIS ounces silver and 34.9 per
cen zinc and the ore is increasing In
width as the drift advances. In addi-
ton to this there is from eight to ten
feet Of good milling ore, The ore APP
pears to be the top of great shoot,
and While the extension of this drift
will no doubt make available quite a
large amount of ore above it, 1t is said
that the management is considering
driving another tunnel that will give
an additional depth of 800 feet Con-
slde,ably more than a carload of ship
ping ore is now on the dump.
These are a few of the properties IN
the immediate vicinity of Mullan and
which have not yet reached stage o.
development that removes them from
the prospective class. The situation
may be greatly changed before the
summer is over, for plans are BENG
made for much development Alto
