Idaho Minerals
Values Increase

The total value of minerals
mined in 1915 is 39,3I5,3l3, an
Increase Of si4,339,6O over the
minerals mined in this state in
1914. These are the final fig
ures. They will be shown in the
report of State Mine Inspector r.
n. Bell which he will soon have
ready for distribution. The re-
port will also show that in 1915
the mining industry of this state
enjoyed one of its most prosper
Gus years and that the prospects
for the industry were never more
promising.
The rapid advance in base
metal values brought about by
the European war during 1915
proved the greatest stimulus to
mineral production and new nm
ing development activity in Idaho
and has demonstrated to a marked
degree the potency of Idaho metal
and mineral resources in general
that argues we'll for continued
expansion in annual yield and in
particular puts this state on the
map as a permanent and impor-
tant source of zinc ore.
The Occur d'Alene district con-
tinues to afford the states sensa-
ton in new ore development. The
total metal yield of the state had
a gross shipping value of about
$38,0OO,OO0 and afforded net
profits on its extraction of fully
$4,000, 900.
Two other lead districts were
actively operated in the central
part of the state. One of these,
the Gilmore district, had two
producing mines that shipped a
total of 100000 pounds Of lead
contents in crude ore. These
were the Pittsburg- Idaho and the
Latest Out mines. The former
is developed to a depth Of $50
feet and shows the richest ore of
its history in the deepest point
opened. The formation is car
boniferOus lime and intrusive
bikes of semibasic igneous rock.

was actively operated on a assure

duced 600 tons of so per cent lead
concentrates and crude ore a

the year.
In the Wood River district sew
eral important new strikes were
recorded among the old lead-ore
depOsits-One of them in the Lip

HilO Getting Busy
On Civic Convention
September Il to rs Is Date Fixed
County Fair To Be Held At Same
Time - Stevenson is Secretary.

Reports brought back from the
Big Island by Worth Aiken, Maui's
representative on the Hawaiian Pro
motion Committee, tell of the prepar.
ations being made by the Board of
Trade of Hilo in connection with the
Fifth Civic Convention which is to
be held in that city on September
2l-25. The Hilo civic organization
has placed the management of the
convention in the hands of the board
Of trustees, with President William
Mckay as director and V. L. Steven
son as secretary.
The people of Hilo are determined
to make the fifth convention a record
one in every way, and they are, at
this early date, going ahead with
plans that will work for the success
of the big annual gathering of men
from all the Islands of the group.
Judging from an outline of the pro
posed entertainments that will be
given in honor of the delegates to
the convention, there will not be an
idle moment for them while they
are on the Big Island. Excursions by
train and automobile are to be en-
joyed and all the beauties of the
Hamakua, Puma, Hilo and Volcano
regions will be shown the visitors.
The convention is to begin on the
morning of September 81, shortly
after the arrival of the steamer Ma
una Kea at Hilo. Business sessions
will be held on that day, which is a
Thursday, and the two following
ones. Sunday will be devoted entirely
to sightseeing and on Monday there
will also be other excursions.
AS Hawaii's second county fair
opens on Friday, September %, the
the visitors to Hilo will have ample
opportunity to see the big agricul-
tural exhibition as the guests of the
people of Hilo. The fair will be
open for two days and it promises to
be even better than that Of last year.
Hundreds of people from the outside
districts of the Big Island will patro-
nize the fair and they will have a
great opportunity to meet the visi-
tors from the other islands. Hilo
will place no limit on the number of
delegates to be invited to attend the
convention and all can be well taken
care of in the Crescent City.

Pail Asked To Resign
In Favor of Raymond?
1t was learned from reliable source
today that Pali has received his CON-
mission as Lahaina district magistrate,
and has formally accepted, and has
sent in his resignation as member OF
the board of supervisors.

Much interest has been aroused on
account of a rumor current during the
past week that Supervisor Philip Pa
Ii was to resign his office and accept
the position of district magistrate OF
the Lahaina district. The rumor has
not been denied, though it is now
claimed that Pail has declined the
proposition. In case of a vacancy oc-
curing on the board, it would Of
course be filled by an appointee Of
the Governor, and the rumor had it
that DR., ], H. Raymond was to have
been the man named for the place.
1t is said that Pail was at first inclin-
ed to accept the proposition, since
the district magistrate job pays S1OO
per month, against $50 as a superyi-
sor, but that after consulting with
some of his constituents he was per.
suaded to turn down the offer.
