ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.
FORMERLY OF WALLACE.
VAN COOK CIVILIAN AIDE TO
COMMANDING OFFICER AT
AMERICAN LAKE

The athletic training of the army at
Camp Lewis, American Lake, is in
charge of I. c. Cook. for two years in
charge of the athletic department of
the Wallace high school and who sub
'sequently occupied a similar position
in the high school at Butte A cor
respondent of the Anaconda Standard
gives the following account of Cook $
work at the big training camp:
T. c. CVanD Cook, who gave up his
position of athletic instructor at the
Butte high school to become director
OF athletics at Camp Lewis, is already
at work and many of the Butte men
have paid their respects to him. Cook
has been attached to the division as
civilian aide to the camp commander
MY idea is to provide athletics for
every man in camp" said the former
Butte man. What promises to be the
greatest series of football games ever
played in the northwest will be run
off between soldiers teams at Camp
Lewis. 1t Is hoped to develop an all
star eleven which can play with some
big varsity team at Christmas time,
but the athletic system will take care
of the fellow who has not specialized
in athletics"

ried last Saturday, the count showing

son, chief engineer of the office OF
public roads at Denver, will be in

The new highway, when completed
will be one of the finest mountain
roads in the west. There will be nc

Gus curves are eliminated and high
way established over which anyone

This favorable action by the resi-

VERMil-LiON MILL.
Montana Property in Which Wallace
Men Are interested.
lThompson Ledger.l


The Vermillion Silver and Lead
Mining company, whose property is To-
Gated on Lyon creek, short distance
from Trout creek, is erecting a mill
which they expect to have in opera
ton within a month. Sixteen men are
now employed at the mine, construct
ing the building and making road A
saving outfit is furnishing the lumber
for the building and machinery for
the mill is now being hauled up to be
ready for installing. g.
When completed the mill will have
a capacity of 80 tons daily, and r..
C. Carpenter, president of the COM
pany states that there is sufficient ore
in sight to keep much larger mill go
ing for a number of years. The mill
and machinery and the road building
will represent an investment of $4,000,
but at the present price of metals it
is believed the expenditure is justified.
During the summer the working
force has been augmented by w. A.
kittrell, formerly of the Hercules mill
at Wallace, who is in charge of the
mining and milling operations; Ernest
Larson, an experienced assayer and
engineer and Mr.. Arment, an under
ground and mill man. These men are
all high class miners and their connec-
ton with the company may be taken
as an Indication of the confidence
that the owners have in developing a
good producer out of the property.

CONSTITUTION.
Looks Like One Of the Big Mines o.
the District.

the District.
| That the Constitution mine on Pine
creek is destined to be one of the big
producers of the Occur dAlene dis
trict, probably second only to- the Bun :
ker Hill & Sullivan, is the opinion ex-
pressed by Judge George Turner, of
Spokane, one of the largest stockhold-
ers, who inspected the property a few
days ago. He said
II am satisfied we have valuable
lead-zinc ore body on the tunnel level
1t is about five feet wide, containing
heavy lead values all through it. In
the middle of this Is Is inches of sole
lead ore that will return us about 5000
a ton, for it contains so per cent lead
and as ounces in silver.
"In the same 5-foot ore zone Is IL
inches of solid zinc ore that will go
42h per cent.
Mr.. Hershey, engineer of the Bum
ker Hill & Sullivan company, made an
examination of the Constitution sew
eral months ago and predicted that we
would strike Burke quartzite forma-
ton when the tunnel was in about
1900 feet. 1t was struck at 1906 feet.
A streak Of lead was found here which
was followed about Is feet, develop
ing into the ore body
About 20 tons of concentrates are
shipped daily. They go about 80 per
cent zinc and Is per cent lead. netting
the company about $50 a ton. Crude
ore that is being shipped returns about
$1S ton.
From a side vein on the tunnel lev
ell we have what will be our best zinc
ore body, If it persists. When | was
there it was fully 6 fet wide. 1t will
go 3S1a per cent zinc and II per cent

IDAHO MUST INVEST NINE
MILLIONS IN BONDS
NeARy DOUBLE AMOUNT ASKED
FOR IN FIRST BOND
DRIVE.

Idaho must invest $7,900,000 in Lib.
ertv bonds. The executive committee
or the twelfth district has fixed this
ipure as the minimum for the state
The maximum is $13,000.000, In or
der to have the state keep up it's rec
ord for supplying funds for war pur-
noses and to come up to the expecta
lions of the executive committee OF
the twelfth district, Idaho must buy
bonds to the amount of $10,O00,OOO.
The government must have $4,000,
100000 and to get this minimum
amount Idaho must subscribe $4,000,
900, but this figure should by NO
means be the maximum. Chairman
Davis says that $4,000, 900 must be tax
en- as the states minimum and that
the full 100000 that the western
division headquarters expects should
be subscribed
The government can not get along
with less than $4,000, 100000 and it is
asking subscriptions up to $5,0O0,O0O,-
the government it is imperative that
Idaho buy bonds up to the full $10,-
100000 allotment.
Idahos quota for the first Liberty
loan was $5,8OO,OOO. The exact amount
of bonds delivered to subscribers has
not been announced, but the state
committee was advised that the state
had made good.
County Allotments.
County allotments will be announc-
ed as soon as they can be determined.
They will be based upon bank depos-
its, assessed valuation and general re-
sources.
Idaho must subscribe for bonds up
to per cent of it's assessed valuation
to reach the minimum figure set for
the state" said Crawford Moore, mem
Der of the state committee. I'm Mich
igan the campaign managers have set
per cent of the assessed valuation as
the goal If Idaho Is to get the $780,
100000, the figure expected by the
western division headquarters, our
percentage will be between 2 and 3
per cent. We have a big task ahead of
us, but we are entering upon the cam
paign confident that the prosperous
condition of the state will enable us
to come up to the expectations of the
executive committee of the twelfth
district"

CHARCOAL.
MissouIa Paper Tells Of Discovery and
Subsequent DEVELOPMENT.

Subsequent Development.
The Muscular of recent date has
the following regarding what is com
monty called the Charcoal mine, In
Missoula county. The property is now
being developed under the supervi-
sion of Dennis Reardon, who for many
years was identified with mining in
this district, and who Is a large own
er in the property. Gus Damn, of this
CITY, and Sam Seidenfeld, Of Spo-
Kane, are also heavy stockholders. A
Potomac correspondent of the Mis-
soulian says:
Several years ago some Blackfoot
farmers, while digging charcoal from
a pit near here, came upon some fun
ny looking stones. They took them to
an assay office and then rushed home
for picks. Without going below the
grass roots as the saying is, these
farmers took out $4,000 worth of sill
yer ore out Of that charcoal pit, send
ing it by pack train to Clinton.
Now the Royal Mining, company
has taken up the famous Charcoal
mine and has begun development OF
the property. A working tunnel is
being driven from a 250-foot shaft to
tap the main ore body, 800 feet be-
| low the original workings. A crosscut
last week encountered a rich stringer
Of ore which assayed as high as $3.50
ton.
"The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Pau
has" built a spur to the mine, new
equipment has been bought and pros
poets for active shipping are unusual
lily bright. The development will be
of great importance to. the Blackfoo'
valley"

T0 BUILD I REE BRIDGE ACROSS
 R|O GRANDE
(By Associated Pressl

JUAREZ, Oct. 31. - A free bridge from Juarez ts Fl Paso has been the dream of Juarez mayors for years. Proposals to build such bridge to re- place the old, wooden tool bridge have been made, but have been failures for years. Francisco Villa proposed to build a concrete and steel bridge be- tween the two border towns at his own expense, but was called away by mili. tary duties and never returned to Juarez.
 Mayor Melchor Herrerra has again revived the movement and permission has been obtained for the construction of free bridge across the Rio Grande and similar permission will be ob- tained soon from the Mexican govern ment. The cost of the proposed bridge will be shared equally by the two mu- nicipalities.
