MINING ACTIVITY AT
PEARL
Hecla Being Pumped Out-Ohio
Mining Company Is Sink
ing Shaft.
Especial Correspondence.l

Pearl is one Of the oldest camps in
Idaho. The first discovery was free
gold in the grass roots. This soon
turned base as depth was attained
The ore is mined for the gold and sill
yer. Some Of the prospects show a
trace of copper. Old prospectors
think this camp will run into copper
with depth. At the present writing no
hole has been sunk over 500 feet.
Most of the great copper mines have
found nothing until a much greater
depth was reached and it is thought
that if someone would put down
shaft 1900 feet We would have the
best copper mine in Idaho. This camp
is well located only II miles from
railroad and no hard obstacles would
surround connecting US with it. Our
climate cannot be beaten (excuse me,
last night, November II, was some
cold for this time of the year at
Pearl; froze ice in the creek about
one inch thick. However, this is
not bad, as it was an exception.
The Hecla Basque lease, previously
known as the Checkmate Mining Co.,
has started taking the water out of
the shaft on the Marguerite claim
and everything is working finely.
One boiler is furnishing the steam for
the big No. II pump and the stream
of water makes Willow creek act like
there was a freshlet. The baler has
not arrived yet When this is in
operation with the pump, water will
be cheap for irrigation around Box
Springs. The pump has been lowered
about so feet in the two days and =
half, but will go slower as they go
down. About 80 days will be required
TO reach the bottom of the shaft This
company intends to sink this shaft
100 feet and do considerable develop
ment work.
The Ohio Mining Co. are sinking
their three compartment shaft with
three shifts, making about two feet
per day. Pump troubles have caused
numerous delays, but the work is go
ing on nicely now. Every one in
Pearl is working and feeling much
better with the prospects than for
many years. The Ohio mine is sink
ing 100 feet and then cross cutting
to the ledge which is dipping toward
the shaft. The cross-cut will be about
90 feet on the 500 foot level. This
will make considerable work and take
some time.
There is very quiet talk going
around that one of the other mines
will be in operation early in the
spring. This with the others will
make Pearl the camp it was some
years ago. The Democrats found 1t

a rally here a few nights before cleo

HIS STAND FIRM AGAINST
1PRETENSE PREPAREDNESS
Advocated Levy of 10000 to $780,

Expressing his views on the subject
of universal military training and serv-

the Great Northern Railway Company
in statement prepared at the request
Of Lieut.. Gen. S. B. NJ. Young, shortly
before his death. said:
1T is important to steer moderate

that the country needs no other de-
Tense, in case of assault than bonn

pose. in principle at least, thorough
going militarism like that of Germany
For that reason, the expression uni
versal military training and equal serv-
ice needs definition.
THE number of males of militia age
that is, between eighteen and forty
four years-in the United States in 1910
was above twenty millions. 1t is in
conceivable that the country should
need the whole body of these as trained

Compulsion, if Necessary.

CompulS1on, II Necessary.
There should be from 100000 to 2oo,
900 young men called to service each year;
by enlistment where that was sufficient,
by compulsory order, if necessary These
men should serve for not less than one
year. They should be thoroughly drilled
in the manual of arms, be perfected in
artillery and target practice and trained
IN every exercise belonging to the WORK
OF modern military training. The work
OF the year should be that required ny
complete military discipline everywhere
enforced; and as nearly as possible what
troops would have to- undergo in an &C
tual campaign in the field
AT the end Of one years service these
men could be sent home, subject to cal
to the colors in any emergency, and their
place be occupied by the next years levy.
In this way the country would have, by
from 100000 to 100000 pen thoroughly
trained and ready for instant service.
To Keep Ranks Filled.
"Such force would be ample, and its
ranks would be kept filled by new levies
as needed. Any other method of prepar-
ing it is only pretense; worse than or
binary waste, in that it sports with the
life or DEATH of the nation itself.
Add to these measures the establish
ment of a number of military schools
sufficient to educate officers to command
such a body. and we would have an ade-
auate system of preparation without over
turning the ancient ideals of the country
or setting the military standard above
the civic. The desirable middle ground
between the extreme pacifist on one side
and the extreme militarist on the other
is what l have attempted to point out
and define"

decided on by the Senate naval COM
mittee after conferences with Secre-
