THE GIANT LEDGE.

The Giant Ledge company, having
completed the shaft from the 200 level
to the surface, the work having been
accomplished by making a raise. the
shaft Is now being extended zoo feet
further, when the vein will be crosscut
with every expectation of finding a
continuation OF the ore body exposed
on the 200, when the company viii be
in a position to begin the extraction Of
ore. The Giant Ledge company has
accomplished much in the way of
equipping and developing its property,
and everything has been done in per-
manent and workmanlike manner and
without making any undue noise. The
property is located on Granite creek
and the prediction is made that it viii
not be long until 1t is transformed into
a big, productive and profit earning
mine. 1t is an interesting fact to re-
call at this time that years ago the
Giant Ledge, which was then known
as the Granite and Allie, was being
held as a gold property and that upon
examination of the property two well
known experts predicted that the pro-
perty would ultimately be a leaa-zinc
mine, although neither of these miner
ais was in sight at that time.

CHICAGO BOSTON,

The directors of the Chicago Boston
Mining company held meeting in this
city Tuesday afternoon. Those pres
ent were w. S. Hazard of Des Moines,
Iowa; w. S. Bangs, of Tacoma; DR..
John r. Nicely, of Spokane and Cyrus
W. Gossert, manager, of this city. The
fifth director, H. M. Mumford, of Glyn-
don, Mimi, was unable to attend. The
property of the company which is To-
Gated on Lake gulch, about a mile and
a half from this city, was visited and
1t was decided to resume operations at
the earliest possible date. Before this
can be done, however, it will be ne
cessary to rebuild about 1000 feet of
flume which was carried away by
snowslide last winter. This will prob
ably require 80 days and the work will
be taken up at once. The Chicago
Boston has two veins, the ore in one
being gray copper with high silver
values similar to the mines of Big
creek and on the same mineral belt.
The other vein, which is of COMPARE
lively recent discovery, is lead and is
identical with the Kill Buck. Both
are reported to show fine bodies of
commercial ore.

WALLACE MINING AND REALTY.

/ George G. Evans, manager Of the
Wallace Mining & Realty company
has recently installed an Ingersoll-
Rand compressor and Sullivan drills
and within ten days expects to have
his plant connected with the electric
power line of the Washington Water
Power company, when aggressive dew
elopment of the property will begin.
| The poles for the electric line are
now being set. The property is To-
Gated at the upper end of King street
and the main tunnel starts almost
within the city limits. The tunnel is
crosseut to the vein, thence drift
west, and altogether has been driven
1900 feet When the new plant is
running Mr.. Evans states that two
shifts will be worked, one of which
will continue the drift and the other
drive a crosscut to prospect the ground
short distance back from the face of
the tunnel
Mr. Evans has been using small
portable compressor run by gasoline,
which has rendered very efficient work,
but is not equal to the present require
ments. This has now been knocked
down and boxed and will be offered
for sale

coEuR D'ALENER IN COLORADO,
Robert Sterling Holds Good Position
With Big Company.

Robert Sterling, who for many years
was engineer connected with the Bum
ker Hill & Sullivan company, and who
served two terms as county commits
sioner and was afterwards city engi
neer Of Kellogg, is now at Vanadium,
Colo, where his many friends in this
district will be pleased to know he is
assistant manager of the Primes
Chemical company. This company is
said to be the largest producer Of
tungsten, molybdenum and vanadium
in the world. The fact that tungsten
has come to be quite an important
factor in this district lends interest to
the fact that Mr.. Sterling is connect
ed with company that is making a
commercial success of mining tung-
stem. With his experience and con-
neetions there might be tungsten prop
ositions here that might induce him to
return to his old stamping ground.

THE PARK.

A special meeting of the directors
this week for the purpose of filing
the vacancy caused by the death of
T. N. Barnard, director and president
of the company Thomas Brennan,
superintendent of the Hunter mine,
was elected president and manager.
Other officers and directors are Thos.
Kelley, president of the Hunter
Mining & Smelling company, vice
president; Miss Nellie Stockbridge, of
Wallace, secretary and treasurer, who
with II. F. Samuels, of Bonner coun-
ty and DR.. Geiss, of Butte, constitute
the board of directors. The question
of resuming operations on the Park
was discussed and it was agreed to
make a thorough inspection of the
property as soon as the snow win per-
NIT, which will probably be about the
middle of May. Early work on the
Park opened a fine body of copper ore,
but a lower tunnel failed to locate it.
1t is probable when work begins
shaft will be sunk on this ore in order
to determine its extent and get line
ON it with reference to the lower tun-
mel, and it is probable some shipments
will be made, for it is stated that the
ore is of sufficient grade to yield a
good profit. The Park is about four
miles south of Mullan and is reached
by good wagon road

THE HIGHLAND SURPRISE.
Stockholders Considering Deal for the
Control Of Property.

A proposition has been put up to
the stockholders Of the Highland Sur
prise Consolidated Mining company
for the purchase of the control under
an option which specifies very fair
terms. Briefly stated, the parties seek
ing the control ask for 80 days from
April Is to examine the property, and
If they then desire to purchase con-
troll they propose to pay ! cent per
share on May Is, cents on June Is, 7
cents on July Is, ~ cents on August
Is, and 71s cents on or before October
Is, the total purchase price being 80
cents per share. Some of the largest
stockholders are reported to have
agreed to give an option on part or all
of their holdings, and 1t Is regarded
as quite probable that the deal will go
but it will probably require
some time yet before sufficient num-
Der of stockholders can be heard from
to know the result definitely. Who the
parties are who are seeking control
has not been made public.

favorable place to undertake develop

OF the group gives much encourage

ed by previous operations and the
parties having the bond believe it to
be the You Like, the vein that produc-
ed so much rich ore for the Morning.

satisfactory conditions at the Burling-

A stope 40 feet long has been open

There is quite large amount of ore
in the bins, but it is practically impos-

few days ago, but was forced to drop
half the load before getting half way.

TO BUILD WAGON ROAD
BY WAY LOOKOUT PASS
ARGUMENT ADVANCED IN PETl
TON TO BE PRESENTED TO
THE COMMISSIONERS.

The county commissioners at their
next session win be asked to build 2
miles of wagon road from the present
wagon road across the Idaho Mon
tana divide to Lookout, where the
Northern Pacific crosses the divide.
ton of this road are set forth in a
petition that has been circulated by
Wesley Everett manager OF the AM
azon Dixie mine, and which seem to
be sufficient to justify the county in
building the road, and particularly
since Mineral county, Montana, is UNI
derstood to be favorably disposed to
build a longer section to connect with
Fit on the summit The section of road
to be built would form part of the
yellowstone Trail" the national
would greatly improve that thorough
fare by cutting out the section of the
present road across the summit which
is on grade from to IA per cent
and which is covered with snow dur
ing much of the time that the pro-
posed road would be open to travel.
Advantages by Way of Lookout.
1t is pointed out that the proposed
road by way of fInniSnnr n"ss ten
more livonepie, serviceable, and
would accommodate many more local
people on both sides of the divide. and
the easy grade and short period it
would be closed by snow would inn
prove the national highway 1t is
claimed that the Lookout road wnnld
serve fully 800 people engaged in min
ing and in the timber business and it
can be built on a grade r..
2 to per cent On the Montana side
the first ~ miles from Lookout to
BoraX would be on a grade not ex-
ceeding Az per cent and the
4 miles from Borax to Taft would be
on a 2 per cent grade, 1t is stated
that Lookout pass is 300 feet lower
than where the present road crosses
the summit. From Pottsville the pre-
sent road follows the south side Of the
canyon and receives little sunshine
while the proposed road would be
built on the west slope of the main
divide until it crosses the summit at
Lookout, thence following the south
side of the st. Regis valley to Borax,
passing through a section which re-
ceives much sunshine and in which
the snow disappears two and a half
months earlier than in the section
by the present road.
The petition is signed by a large
of business men and taxpay-
ers of Wallace and Mullan, and in |
it Mr. Everett encounter
ed no opposition whatever.
Road Is Necessity.
Illustrating the necessity of build
ing this road, it is recalled that a
few months ago Mr. Everett was fore
I'd to charter special train to bring
IN injured man to the hospital in
his city. There is now no wagon
road connection with that section, al
though 1t is directly tributary to Null
an and Wallace. The old Mullan
'oad has long been closed to traffic
~ washouts and fallen timber, and
rs the proposed road would be on a
better grade than the present one,
would accommodate large number Of
people while the present one accomo-
lates only a few, and would be open
o travel for much longer period
han the present one, the argument
Ill seems to be in favor of its con-
truction.

Dear Editor:
have just been thinking how
much pleasanter is your task as edi-
tor and writer of editorials on poll
1cal questions of the day than it
was two and four years ago. Well |
remember the zero handshakes and
the half=averted eyes of those we had
been used TO know as political broth
ers and one instinctively knew their
vote would be cast with the opposi-
ton. Not SO, now when we have a
united party and an opposition dis
heartened by four years of vacilla-
ton, indecision and broken. pledges.
Particularly are you fortunate in
the personality of your local candid
ate for state representative, the Hon.
Fred l.. Warner. His personal life

requires no excuses, his record as q
public official is without reproach. A
man of ability and pleasing personal
ity, as a first-termer in the house he
soon gained place of influence. In
the coming session many Of the MEM
bers will be new to the work and
those of experience will naturally be-
come the leaders. Other things be-
ing equal members usefulness in
creases in geometrical propositions
to the length of his service.
Mr.. Warmers vote has always been
on the side of the public welfare and
for higher and better things. hope
you will do all in your power to make
the vote from Bedding and vicinity
as nearly as possible unanimous for
my friend, Fred Warner.
Yours with best wishes,

The prosecuting attorney is charg-

that the voters know how he stands
on the liquor question as most of the
prosecutions arise by reason of this
traffic. 1t is not enough that an officer
enforces the law as a matter Of duty,
but in order to secure an enforcement
that will make the law effective it is
absolutely necessary that he believe
in the law as matter Of principle and
then he will put his heart into the
matter of enforcement.
First. l am in favor of the prohibit
ton amendment and shall vote to
make Michigan all dry.
Second Until the state becomes
dry / am in favor of the present
county local local option law and if
elected will use all the power vested
in the office to enforce it and punish
those guilty of it's violation.
Third. invite the most searching
investigation Of my record on the Ii

er may determine whether by present
position is taken for political effect.
