POOL cARBC NATE STOCK.
Proposal to Stockholders to Help Sale
Of Treasury Stock.

TTOOOSdI 70 " S6lS
Of Treasury Stock.
C. w. Simmons, secretary and one
Of the large stockholders in the Car
Donate Mining & Milling company, the
property of which is near Beeler on
Pine creek, has submitted a PROPOSE
ton to the stockholders to pool their
stock as means of finding market
for treasury stock In his letter Mr.
Simmons says:
I'VE are now in touch with parties
who will undertake the sale Of our
treasury stock, but with the under
standing that we are to take up all the
issued stock from the market so that
they may have a clear field, and no one
can come in and break the sale by Of
fering stock at lower price. This is
a reasonable proposition and we are
putting it up to you as stockholder.
al we ask is that you agree to take
your STOCK OIL the market lor perlou
of six months, giving us an opportun-
ty to do something with the treasury
stock"
Stockholders are requested to depos-
it their stock in the nearest bank or in
the First National bank of Kellogg,
and sign and return a pooling agree
ment to the secretary, a copy of which
is enclosed with the secretary's letter.
There is said to be good showing of
ore on the Carbonate, which gives
every indication of improvement with
further development. The parties re-
ferred to by Mr.. Simmons as being
ready to handle the treasury stock are
represented by Herman ]. Rossi.

1t is probable that when the work
of construction is well under way
there will be employment for 400 or
500 men, but men seeking employment
should bear in mind that the force
will be increased gradually and that
for a time there will be work for only
a comparatively few men. When the
smelter and refinery are in operation
it is estimated that between ESQ and
800 men will be employed.

NO DEAL PENDING.
Success Official Denies Company Is
Negotiating for Alameda.

When asked regarding the rumors
that the Success company is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the Alameda or
for the consolidation of the two prop
critics, President Gearon authorized an
emphatic denial. He said that no such
negotiations were under way, nor had
they even been considered or given any
thought. In short, there was abso-
lutely nothing to it.

ready for installation by the time the
building has advanced far enough to
receive them. The work will be ad-
vanced just as rapidly as possible,
and while no definite announcement
has been made as to when the plant
will be completed, it is believed that
smoke will be rolling out of the big
stock by the first of January and the
actual smelling and refining of Coeur
d'Alene lead silver ore in a Occur
d'Alene plant will be q reality.

Stanly A. Easton returned from San
Francisco Tuesday and is now occu-
pied with the preliminary work in con-
nection with the construction of the
smelter In the absence of a definite
statement on the subject, the impress
sion prevails in some quarters that the
smelter is designed only for the reduc-
tion of the ores of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan and affiliated mines In re-
sponse to a question on that point,
Mr.. Easton stated that the plans of
the company include custom busi-
ness, and that the plant will be pre-
pared to handle all lead ores offered
in large or small lots. The company
is going into the smelling business and
wants all the business it can get, and
1t expects eventually to get the big end
of the business in the Occur d'Alene
district. In time if the capacity of the
plant as at present planned is found
to be inadequate to the business, it
will be increased to meet the require

smelt the ore, but will refine it also,
recovering the silver from the lead,
and it's product will be pure lead and
silver. With the Bunker Hill plant
doing a custom business, this means
that every prospector and develop
ment company who has lead ore on
his dump can convert it into cash,
whether the amount be one ton or one
hundred tons, and the same facilities
will be open to the large and regular
producer It will eliminate the heavy
freight charges to distant smelters,
and will give an impetus to mining
never witnessed before. =

The notice inviting bids for paving
contained this stipulation, which is
usual in all proposals to receive bids,
modified according to the purpose for
which bids are invited:
"The city council at the time of
opening the bids, will select that kind
of pavement which in it's judgment it
deems to be for the best interest of
the said city, (taking into considera-
tion the quality Of the pavements and
the respective bids) for paving said
portions of said streets and alleys
with such pavement, and will award
the contract to the lowest responsible
bidder for the kind of pavement sell
ected provided, however, the city re-
serves the right to reject any and all
bids and accept any bid which it
deems to be for the best interests of
the city"
If it was legal for the council to in
sert the above provision in the call
for bids, certainly it was legal for
them to be governed by it in awarding
the contract. In the judgment of the
council, bitulithic paving will serve
the best interests of the city and they
awarded a contract at the lowest fig
ure offered for that class of paving.
Part of the city is now paved with
bitulithic which has proved in every
satisfactory, and for this rea-
son the council decided to adopt it in
the new paving district and awarded
the contract to the same company that
laid the first That would remove all

risk as to the character of the paving
and the workmanship, and at the same
time securing the improvement at the
lowest price for the kind of paving de-
sired.

Before much can be accomplished
toward actual construction, about a
mile of sidetrack must. be laid to the
site of the smelter in order to facili
tate the unloading of building mater
ial and the heavy machinery and
equipment that will enter into the
plant Sidetracks are now being laid
and it is only matter of a few days
until this work is completed. The
work of laying the concrete founda-
tions will then go forward rapidly.

Warren Bros. own the bitulithc
paving patent and the Warren Con-
struction company, or any other COM
pany that uses that kind of paving, no
doubt pays them a royalty. 1t would
therefore seem to be immaterial so
far as the city is concerned as to whe-
ther Warren Bros. control the War
rem Construction company or not; the
royalty would be paid just the same.

ELECTRIC POWER.

The Intermountain mine, near Iron
Mountain, Montana, in which Wallace
people are largely interested and
which is under the management of
of Oscar Nordquist of this city, will
soon be in full operation. Mr.. Nord-
quist was here the first of the week
and left yesterday morning for the
mine accompanied by seven or eight
city, who will have charge of the
boarding house. The Intermountain

Amador. and unuer an srrangeme ent

efforts of Mr.. Nordquist and S. L.
Shonts, a large number of Coeur
funds to erect mill and place the
mine in condition for production. All
this was accomplished last summer
and fall, the mill being completed in
time to make a trial run wheE the
cold weather reduced the water supply
so that it was necessary to suspend
for the winter.
Property in Good Shape.
During the past few months several
men have been employed in the mine
with the result that the 200 and 400,
on both of which there are good shoots
of ore, are in good shape for mining
Now that there is a supply of watel
for power the mine is being unwater-
ed down to the 700 level, the lowest
and the ore will be made available on
the lower levels.
The mill has a capacity of 100 tons
and is run by water power. This is
ample for early spring until late in the
fall, and in order to avoid closing
down during the winter the Intermoun.
tain company will secure electric pow
er from Lacasse brothers, who have
a large powe" plant about two miles
above the Intelmountain which they
use in placer operations. This power
line will be extended this summer
which will insure operations during
the winter.
The branch railroad from the Nor
thern Pacific to the Intermountain,
which is owned by the company, was
opened for traffic yesterday.

The allegation that the Warren Con-
struction company has attempted to
unlawfully influence and bribe prop
erty owners by Offering to do their
paving free of charge if such property
owners would withdraw objection to
awarding of such contract to the
Warren Construction company" is a
grave charge, a fact which the COM
plainants must have fully realized
when they made it, and which they
will no doubt be asked to support by
tangible proof.

BE THANKFUL.

(By Mary Agnes Daily.)
Let us thankful be to God,
Who gives us everything we see
The earth, the sky, the air we
breathe,
Grass, flower, fruit and tree;
The sun, with moon and stars
Which shine with its reflected
light,
Illumining our path by day,
Guarding our couch by night.
For parents dear and friends we
love,
For comrades whom We trust,
For lovers true and children too,
For rules good and just;
For JOY and peace and harmony,
For patience, love and truth,
And cen for crosses, too, which
come,
Let US not complain, forsooth.
BY thanking God we all may pass
From our adversely,
And rise upon the waves of thought
To glad prosperity

THE PIONEERS OF THE ROGUE

(By DR.. Fred R. Goddard, klamath
Falls, Ore.)
When the word from California
Swept DER mountain, vale and valley
Telling gold was in the westland,
Shining in its brooks and rivers,
Many hearts were filled with longing
For the noblest of all metals,
So in clumsy prairie schooners
They kept step with empire west
ward.
Slow they marched o'er rolling
prairies,
Scaled the rough and jagged noun
tains,
Fought the frigid SHOWS of winter,
Thirsted in the desert valleys.
But with courage ever dauntless,
And with hearts that knew no failing,
They kept onward, ever westward,
To the land of gold and plenty.
But while on some explorations
In the forests of the northland
Trappers came upon valley
In the bosom of the mountains.
And they boasted of that valley,
OF the beauty of its meadows,
OF the music in its brooklets,
OF the new discovered Eden.
So again the word went flying
Swiftly DER the wales and valleys,
Telling of the Eldorado
In the forests of the northland.
And again strong hearts were throb-
bing
For some new and wild adventure,
So they followed up the rumor
OF the valley in the mountains.
When they reached that little valley,
Saw the beauty of its meadows,
Heard the music of it's brooklets,
Viewed the new discovered Eden,

THANKSGIVING.

For peaceful nights and bounteous

pays.

So looks oft deceive and much good
may hide.
In Gods perfect love only right may

Say we're sailing right on in this bic

And Wen all find much good we may

We may have had trials and troubles
galore.
Be thankful to God that they were
no more,
And for the faith that whispers
they'll soon all be Ger.
