KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
RAISE LARGE ARMY FUND
CONTiUE DRIVE TO CLOSE OF
YEAR-SiGNlFICANT
FIGURES.

The drive being made by the
Knights of Columbus for a large war
/ fund to carry on work among the SOL
diers similar to the Y. M. c. A. will
not close until December 81. Reports
from various parts of the country IN
dicate that the drive will be success
full far beyond expectations. While
from any source, only members Of the
Knights Of Columbus are solicited
and in view of this fact the success
of the movement has been remarkable.
The work of the knights of Columbus
in the army Is identical with that Of
the Y. M. C. A. and the two organi-
cations cooperate to the fullest eX-
tent. It's buildings and all Of its ia
cilties are at the service of every SOL
dier without regard to religious affil-
alton, and the national government
has extended it the same recognition
that it has to the Y, M. C. A. Special
efforts are being made throughout the
country this closing week of the year
to make the end of the Knights of
Columbus drive notable for numerous
liberal contributions which will in
sure ample funds to carry on the
splendid work the organization is do
| ing among the soldiers at home and
in France.
| Some Results.
Some significant figures have been
obtained from DR.. f. Leo Quigley, of
this city, head Of the Knights of Col
umbus drive in this state. The ap-
Iportionment for Idaho was $1,000, and
DR.. Quigley says this will probably be
oversubscribed at least $4,000. The
quota of Shoshone county was $500
and $4,000 has now been subscribed,
most of this amount coming from
| Wallace. ST. Maries has subscribed
$500. Bonners Ferry 1898, Occur
d'Alene $500, and Boise $4,000. The
success that is being achieved
throughout the nation is indicated by
the following telegram to DR.. Quigley
from william ]. Mckinley, of New
Haven Conn:

ORE CONTRACT
BY THE COURT
NORMAN LOSES ACTION TO AN
NuL-ALL MEMBERS OF THE
COURT CONCUR.

The full text of the decision of the
appellate division Of the supreme
court of New York in the case of Sid
ney Norman and others against the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
and the American Smelling & Rein
ing company in which the decision of
the lower court in favor of the re-
spondent companies is affirmed, has
been received, but too late to
publish it in full this week. 1t will
appear in the next issue of The Miner,
as it contains most interesting re-
view of the issues raised in case that
has been before the courts for several
years. Following is the concluding
paragraph of the decision, rendered by
Justice Victor J. Dowling and in which
all members of the court concurred:
Affirm Lower Court.
Il have discussed the merits of the
plaintiffs claims herein, although
believe there were two objections rails
ed to the maintenance of this action
which were sufficient to prevent re-
covery. The first is that plaintiffs
have been guilty of laches in having
waited nearly eight years, with oppo,-
tunities at each annual meeting OF the
stockholders to question the validity
or good faith Of the contract now at
tackled. but never indicating any OPP
position thereto until this late day
and allowing the officers of the cor
poration to continue to perform the
agreement. No stockholder made any
objection as long as dividends were
being paid, though the alleged grounds
of attack upon the contract existed at
all times. This Is not case OF an
agreement secretly or surreptitlously
made, but any claim or concealment
was disavowed upon the trial and no
contract could well have been made
openly and fairly made known to those
interested as stockholders. 1t would
be manifestly unfair to allow minority
stockholders to remain silent and take
for, period of years the profits OF
contract which he claims afterwards
to have been made in fraud of his
rights. and then to seek to avoid IT
when, for reasons outside the contract
itself, it has ceased to prove so at
] tractive to him. This unfairness has
repeatedly led the courts to refuse
relief where the lapse of time was
much less than in the case at bar, and
/ in cases where the period was from
K two to four years. (Sheldon V. Eek
meyer Co, 80 N. Y. COZ; Farmers Loan

/ Telegraph Co, 119 n. Y. Is; Twin
Lick Oil Co. VS.. Marbury, 81 U. S. 5S7;
Hoyt v. Latham, 143 U. s. 553). Fur
thermore, plaintiffs have failed to al
ilege, or prove, any demand made up
I on the Federal company or its board
4 of directors to bring an action to set
aside the extension agreement. This
I is fatal to such an action as the one

.HE GREAT Interstate- Callahan

"HE GREAT Interstate Callahan
| ore shoot, which has made
! the mine famous as one of
| the worlds greatest zinc pro-
ducers, maintains its great size
and high mineral content as depth
is gained. This has now been demon
strated 500 feet below No. 4, or the
main working tunnel, which means a
total depth of 1900 feet from the sur
face. In conversation with c. w.
Newton, manager of the Interstate
Callahan, he stated that the shaft was
then down about IS feet below the 800
and was being extended to the 800, on
which the ore shoot would also be
opened, the policy of the management
being to keep at least two levels in ad-
vance of production requirements. At
that time the ore had been explored on
the 500 for more than 100 feet, show
ing the shoot to have an average
width of IL feet and of the same high
grade that has characterized 1t on all
upper levels. Altogether the develop
ment of the lower levels could hardly
be more satisfactory both in the
amount of ore and the grade. To fully
appreciate the Importance of this
showing it must be borne in mind that
the main working tunnel of the In
terstate- Callahan is high UP on the
mountain and that the bottom of the
shaft is not yet below the level of
Beaver creek, on the north side of the
mountain, thus showing the possibil-
| ity of large additional ore reserves at
great depth below water level, in ac-
cordance with the rule that has been
established by all deep development in
this district.
Maintaining UusuaI Output.
The new flotation plant is doing ex-
cellent work and is making a substan-
tial reduction in the tailings loss. 9th
er changes and additions are being
made in the mill under the direction
Of mineral research experts which
when completed win greatly increase
the milling capacity as well as max
ing a further saving of mineral value
| in the ore.
The company is now shipping an
average of 5000 tons of concentrates
and crude ore per month. Mr.. New
ton takes hopeful view Of the out
look for zinc and regards it possible
that the government may fix the price
of the metal at a figure that would
stabilize the market and insure fair
and dependable profit to the producer
The present price of zinc Is little If
any better than s or 6 cents under
normal conditions, owing to the high
cost of all kinds of mining supplies and
the high scale Of wages. Although its
product is chiefly zine, the Interstate
Callahan works under the sliding scale
based upon the price of lead and pays
the same scale Of wages as the lead
mines.

County Attorney
Orders Probe of
Mrs. Talley's Death

In order to determine what caused
the death of Mrs. J. A. L. Talley,
$40 Hamilton street, who died sud
denly in the Brandeis building Tues
day noon, County Attorney Magney
has ordered post mortem examina-
ton of the body.
MIS-. Talley fell in faint in the
Brandeis store and was removed to
the office of DR.. Medders, who says
that when she was brought into his
Office her pulse was near normal but
that despite this she died four mill
utes later.
He said death was not due to heart
disease and could have been caused
by poison or drugs. 1t was on this
statement that the county attorney
ordered post mortem examination.
Mrs. Talley was 50 years of age.
Her husband, who is salesman, was
out in the state at the time of his
wife's death but he hurried to Omaha.
The body is at the N. P. Swanson I'M

HOW GOOD that
MUSTEROLE FEELS!
It Gets to That Sore Spot
Like Magic

A.a.h! That's delicious relief for
those sore muscles, those stiff joints,
that lame back.
Musterole is clean, white ointment,
made with the oil of mustard and
other home simples.
1t does the work of the old
fashioned mustard plaster, minus the
plaster and minus the blister!
You simply rub Musterole on the
pot where the pain is--rub it on
triskly-and usually the pain is gone.
No muss, no bother. Just comfort
ag, soothing relief first a gentle
slow, then a delightful sense of cool
ness. And best Of all, no blisters like
the old-fashioned mustard plaster used
20 make.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
hits. tonsilitis, Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges-
ton, pleurisy. rheumatism, lumbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
lains, frosted feet and colds of the
hest Git often prevents pneumonia.

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush the Kidneys at once when
Backachy or Bladder bothers-
Meat forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid, which clogs the kidney
pores so they sluggishiy filter or
strain only part OF the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
stipation, dizziness, sleeplcssness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts, or
ii the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
Of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
\ lad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful etfer-
vcscent lthia- water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney COMPREHENSIVE.
