The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-01-06

The above table showing the min
~eral production of the Occur d'Alene
district was prepared by the United
States geological survey and publish
ed in a pamphlet which has just been
received entitled Gold, Silver Cop
per- Lead and Zinc in Idaho and Wash
ington in 1914" 1t is reprinted by The
Miner because of the great value OF
the figures, and also to show that the
estimate of the total mineral produc-
tion of the Occur d'Alene district pub
! lished in the issue of last week lean
ed strongly to the side of conServa-
tism The geological survey places
the total of the mineral produced in
this district from 1854 to 1914 at $685.
Robert N. Bell, state mine Inspector
! the value of the output of the state
of Idaho for 1915 is $37,551,542. Oh
! this amount he credits Shoshone coun-
/ ty with 95 per cent of the lead and 9S
per cent of the zinc, and it is probable
thai TINS county Is entitled to 95 pei
cent of the silver. On this basis the
value of the lead, zinc and silver pro
duced n this county is $33,784,715. This
county also produced considerable
gold, copper, antimony for which there
is no data. Eliminating all these anc
taking the value of the lead, zinc an6
silver as representing the production
of the Coeur d'Alene district and add
ing it to the estimate of the geological
survey up to 1914 and we have tht
grand total of 1919, ,607, minera
production of the Coeur dAlene dis.
trict from 1884 to 1915, inclusive.
Greater Record in the Future.
The figures here given cover per-
iod of 81 years, beginning with gold
mining on Prichard creek. To say
that these figures great as they are
will look small by comparison with
the accomplishments of the next &c
years is not an idle statement made in
the enthusiasm of success. 1t must
be evident to any thoughtful person
that the conditions of mining today
are so far in advance of those that
prevailed during much of the period
in which this record was made that
this feature alone would insure tre-
mendous increase. But in addition to
the phenomenal advance in the mill
ing methods which have overcome the
heavy losses which characterized the
operations of a few years ago, the
known ore reserves of the district are
greater now than ever before in the
history of the district and the produc-
tive field has extended over a wider
area, which insure steady increase
in production.
Zinc Output Big.
It has only been during the past
three years that zinc has become a
factor of consequence in the mineral
output of the district, but the vast
bodies of zinc ore which have been

.CROssCUT ON ALC|DES
RUNNING RECORD RATE
THAT is OPINION OF MANAGER
DECEMBER HAS 300 FEET
TO ITS CREDIT.

w. w. Neary, of Spokane, principal
owner of the AIcides Mining company
came up Tuesday and in company with
Ed Ehrenberg, manager, visited the
property which the company is deyel-
oping above Burke This property is
commonly known as the Cooney group
and was taken under bond by Mr..
Neary several months ago, the con-
sideration being $15O,OOO, an initial
payment of $4,000 being paid in cash.
The closing of the deal was immedi-
ately followed by the organization OF
the Alcides Mining company, through
which several other men became as
sociated with Mr.. Neary in the deal.
Under the direction of Ed Ehrenberg
plans for the development of the pro-
perty were Immediately formulated,
involving driving crosscut 1910 feet
to the vein which will cut it at a depth
of 900 feet. The close proximity OF
the Alcides to the Imperial rendered
II possible to affect an arrangement
with that company to use its COM
nressor and also to use the same
boarding house.
Doing Record Work.
While the pipe line from the I'M
nerial compressor was being laid the
tunnel was started and considerable
accomplished by hand work. 1t was
in the latter part of November that
connection with the compressor was
completed and power for the drills
was available, and since that time the
crosscut has been advancing at rate
which is believed to be a record for
the district, character of rock and the
number of men employed considered
In December Mr.. Ehrenberg reports
have run 800 feet with two SHIFTS
working a maximum of II men. He
has had much experience in mining
lhere and elsewhere and is well in
formed on mining operations in TINS
district. and gives it as his opinion
THAT the Alcides record for December
has never been beaten under similar
conditions.

Only one shift is now working at the

will be increased before spring. The
east drift is being extended and it is
expected that the shoot of high grade

of the main crosscut the vein was
also cut by a crosscut from a drift
that had followed the Rex vein. Al
this point a short drift was run west
and while the showing of ore was not
so large as further west, it is most

this drift gave the following assay val
ues: Silver, 1928 and 1872 ounces; lead
62.1 and 40.2 per cent; zinc, 1.O1 and
3.S4 per cent.
Looks Like Another Big Mine.
Work so far on the Patuxent seems
to justify the faith in the property
that has been held for many years by
James F. Callahan and Jay Wemes,
two of the original owners of the con-
solidated property and still the heav-
lest owners. The vein is large, being
rs feet in width at the main point OF
intersection and the character of the
vein filing suggests a greatly enlarg-
ed ore body when greater depth is at
tanned Besides this fine showing
which promises to develop into a great
mine alone, the company has paral-
lei vein about 600 feet north known
as the Wemes or Empire State vein
which is equally promising and from
which considerable ore was shipped
many years ago. Taken together the
two veins give the Patuxent a com
bination that may disclose ore bodies
that will establish a new record for

DEATH SENTENCE IS
 C0MMUTED LAST DAY

Little Rock, March 11.-Charles Bailey, an aged negro who was to have been electrocuted yesterday at the state penitentiary, will instead spend the remainder of his natural life at hard labor.
 He was convict ted of the murder of his wife last December, in Desha county His communication was sur prise, as it had been thought nothing would be done to interfere with his sentence. But certain citizens of Du- mas asked that he be given clemency, upon the statement of experts that he is an imbecile, with the mind of a seven-year- child. This conclusion was reached by Harry w. Crane, psychologist and field worker for the National Commission for the Feeble Minded and the Eugenic Record office of Cold Springs Harbor, Long Island, N. Y, who had made a careful inves- tigation of his condition. By him Bailey was classified as "a high grade imbecile.'

It will be 200 feet long and will contain rooms and sleeping porches, kitchen and dining room for those who are so in capacitated that they cannot go to the general dining room; bathrooms and nursing rooms.

NEWS OF CONWAY
 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO

(From the Log Cabin, Mar. 12, 1901)
 A two days rainstorm ended on March 9, 1901, with the worst hur- ricane in Conway's history. Proper ty damage to the amount of at least $10,000 was done, but the only one injured was Frank Fowler, negro, whose injuries were not serious. The storm came from the south, passing from St. Josephs Catholic church in the southern part of the city, directly through the main business section, to Hendrix College Electric light and telephone wires and poles were blown down, putting both systems out of commission for about two weeks. Several business buildings were un- roofed, portions of the walls blown down and great damage done to stocks of merchandise, the store of w. M. Harrell X Company being the greatest sufferer. St. Joseph's hall was completely demolished, and prac- tically every building in the path of the storm was more or less damaged.

Mr. Lille announced that he would continue to reside in Conway. The board ordered the installation of steam heat in the building and the expenditure of about $1 ,000 for other improvements.
