HIGH PRICE OF SILVER ADDS
MILLIONS TO MINE PROFITS.

Silver is going to be a big factor II
the profits of Occur d'Alene mines this
year and probably for many years on
rather 1t should be stated that 1t will
be greater factor, for it has always
played an important part in the net
earnings of the lead mines and to a
lesser extent the zinc mines also. Sill
YER Is always associated with lead In
this district, but the amount varies
greatly in the different mines In 1914
the amount of silver produced by the
Occur d'Alene mines, as given by G..
N. Gerry of the United States geo.
logical survey, was Elisha ounces
The actual figures for 1915 have not
yet been compiled but in his annual
report for that year Robert N. Bell,
state inspector of mines, estimates
the production of this district at 49,
$4,000 ounces, a slight increase over
1914 He places the value at $6,061,-
683 computed on basis of the aver
age New York quotations of silver for
the year, which was fraction above
SO cents per ounce. The price of sill
yer has been steadily advancing for
the last two months or more and 1t is
now upwards of n cents per ounce
and with still a strong tendency up
ward. The prediction is now made by
recognized authorities that 1t will not
be long until silver reaches 81, but
aside from this flattering prospect, let
us contemplate for moment what the
advance already made means to the
mines of the Occur d'Alene district 1t
means that over so per cent has been
added to the value of the silver mined
in this district without adding one
penny to the cost of production. AS
Stunning that the silver production this
year will be practically the same as
that of last year, continuation of
the present price of silver during the
year will add over 100000 to the
profits of the mines.
But it is probable that there will be
a great increase in the amount Of sill
yer produced The high prices of all
the metals with which silver Is asso-
ciated Is an incentive to increase the
output of the Mines and at the same
time 1t has given great impetus 10
development of the mines In which
the value is almost exclusively silver,
located in what is commonly called
the dry ore belt. The extent Of this
belt may be roughly stated as extend
ing from Big creek to Lake gulch, and
the rise in the price of silver has re-
suited in a renewal of activity
Its entire length. The ore
in this belt is very rich, much of it
yielding a good profit with silver at SO
CENTS Under the spur of high prices
there will be great increase in the
production of silver from the mines In
which it is the chief product which
are now in position to operate, While {
pans are being made for the immedi- !
ate development OF other properties s
not now in position to produce.

MORE PINE CREEK ANTHONY.
New Discovery Recently Reported on
the West Fork.

the WeST FORK.
Henry Albright met surprise re-
Gently while drifting on very pro-
missing showing Of lead and zinc on
his property up the west fork of Pine
creek. The course of the vein is the
usual easterly and westerly. The
surprise was when second vein cut
squarely across 1t and showing good
values In antimony, its course being
north and south. So attractive was
the showing that Mr. Albright decided
to follow 1t up. He has now drifted
about 80 feet and has or inches of
anthony ore of good grade, The vein
in which this ore is found appears to
be identical with that being developed
by Charles Pearson, Just above and adj
joining, and in which there is report
ed a fine showing OF commercial ore.

...Old Age and the Rules of HEALTH.
tRonald oiiphant in New York SUM

One day met an aged man, his beard
was snowy white,
His form was straight, his eye was
clear his step was firm and light
His muscles had the spring of youth.
his cheeks glowed fresh and
bright.
l said: Good sir, I'd like to know if
you would care to tell,
The rules of life you practice-or, per-
chance, the magic spell,
And what you eat and what you do to
look so jolly we'll"
my boy" he said, Il never, in my five
score years, as yet
Have tasted booze in any form or
smoked a cigarette,
And ev'ry morn at o'clock / wake
and up I get.
Before my breakfast for an hour |
ramble in the woods,
| ne'er indulge in lollipops or carbo-
hydrate foods;
never lose my temper or give way
to angry moods.
Il emulate in posture the old statues
Of the Greek;
| take a tepd shower bath just seven
times a week.
Thus by governed mode of life I've
built up my physique"
Later another aged man upon my Wis
ion burst.
He seemed as 1.-THE and active and as
clipper as the first
But when / asked his rules of life he
stormed and loudly cursed.
II turned a hundred yesterday and
ev'ry fool / meet
Will stop and ask me what / drink,
and how I wash and eat,
My rules of living and the way mas
ticate my meat.
Il eat and dring most ev'rything and
never count my chews;
like my pipe O. bacca and I like my
drop o. booze;
have no time for getting up, some
times all day l snooze.
"A bath I take, say, once year-that
seems to keep me clean.
There's only one thing makes me sick
and rouses up my spleen,
And that's these Fostering fools that

Others is shown by the comfort
stations he had built for the
women in this city.
That he has the interest of the
whole people at heart is shown
by the work he did for the NUM-

That he is wise legislator il

That his worst enemies do not

That he has mind of his own

That he is the servant of the

1t is not expected that Car

to contain urgent suggestions that

BY G. E. RUSSELL

The socialists will be the last
to enter thep latform competition
this year.
Theirs is the only party that
will not hold a convention.
Their national executive COM
mittee is charged with the duty
of hammering out a platform,
but when this is done it will
have to take its chances in party
referendum and be subject to
changes on a party vote. So it
will not be completed and put on
view until August or perhaps Sep
TENDER.
Anybody can guess about the
socialist platform, but nobody can
get any good. first class dope
about 1t as he can about the
others.
The socialists don't have any
leaders or wise guys on the inside
of things. One of them knows
about as much as another of what
is going to be done.
You can work out almost any
old kind of a schedule about them
and have it look first rate, and
| then a blame referendum will
come along and kick the tar out
of all of it.
But il there is anything that is
a safe bet 1t is thatthesocia list
platform will have big resound-
ing helicon bass keynote this year
and that 1t will be about the war.
War will get the up and down
in a way to make you eyes bulge.
1t will be denounced seven ways
for Sunday and with an incompar-
able flow of language.
1t will be damned until it falls
across the ropes, gasping for
mercy. Also. all the gents in this
country that have or can have
anything to do with war, all that
make war, declare war, advocate
war, talk war, think war, defend
war, get cent out of war, or say
that in the United States war is
possible. All these will be done
to a fragile.
Then, 1t is likely, there will be
set froth the terms upon which
the suffering world is to be re-
stored to peace.
No indemnities, no changes in
geography except on referen-
dunn of the people in conquered
province, all other boundaries to
be as they were July q, 1914.
Great waterways, like the Suez
and Panama canals to be made in
ternational, and the fighting ma
tons to be compelled to quit at
once.
Preparedness will probably
have a great deal of attention,
and the plank on this subject will
be a sizzler. Anyone that favors
preparedness in the United States
is manifestly a scoundrel, a swim
dler, liar, a thief, a murderer
and low, bad person.
Any degree of preparedness
here Is plainly preposterous. Not
one additional cent should be ex-
pended on army or navy, and let
him that syas antique stone forts
and medieval guns are not suf-
fiicent for us, die the death.
Existing social conditions, it
may be assumed, will receive far
more attention In the socialist
than in any other platform. The
increasing unemployment, poverty
and misery of the working class
will be portrayed and denounced,
and tire remedy be vigorously de-
manaod.
The socialist party being the
party OF the working class. that
class will be summoned to unite,
