FIGHT To PRESERVE
A GREAT INDUSTRY
Citrus Canker Appropriation
Endangered by False
Premise.

The United States government has
for use in destroying cl-
trus canker in Florida during the
next two years 100000, contingent
upon the State Legislature approprla-
ting like sum.
This matter Of State appropria-
ton has met with some little opposl-
tion in the Legislature. 1t is i'm
portant that this opposition be over
come. The life Of Floridas greatest
industry Is at stake. The citrus
growers must have this aid. With
cut il Florida's 5 leading industry is
liable TO be wiped out, and soon.
Regarding this opposition to the
State appropriation, Editor j. H.,
Reese. Of the Orlando Reporter-Star,
one Of Florida's clearest-thinklng,
most far-sighted and practical edl-
torial writer's, in q recent issue OF MS
paper, says:
REPRESENTATIVE Amos Lewis is out
in open opposition to the citrus cank-
e appropriation. Mr Lewis is
man Of considerable weight and his
opposition will probably influence 9th
er members,
eve hope that Mr. Lewis will be
shown that he is reasoning from
false premise. and that mis- opposition
is not well founded. Mr.. Lewis says
that he is opposed to spending pubic
money for the protection OF private
property. He says that II would be
lust as reasonable for the state to IN
sure all the houses in the state against
fire because all are in danger Of be-
jnqr burned He contends that the
citrus industry is privately owned,
and hence has no claim on the state
treasury. Nj. Lewis states his
view strongly, but we don't believe
there will be much trouble IN showing
others. if not Mr.. Lewis himself, that
his argument IS full Of falacy

Good Assays Obtained From Samples
Recently Brought Down.
H.. E. Howes, director and one Of
the large stockholders in the Square
Deal Mining company, had a sample
of ore recently struck on the property
assayed yesterday, which showed 24.7
per cent lead and SO ounces silver.
The local stockholders in the company
are considerably enthused over the re-
suit. The sample was taken from a
foot or more of heavily mineralized
quartzite lying against what is de-
scribed as a diabase dixie which marks
the end of the crosscut Arrange
ments had been made to extend the
tEosscut through the dixie, the work to
be done by contract, and since this
showing of mineral value it is expect
ed that the contract will also include
drifting on the ore along the dixie as

mile up the gulch at Stull spur,

BLACK BEAR COMPANY
IMPORTANT MEETING
PREPARES TO DELIVER CONTROL
DIRECTORS TO BORROW
MONEY.

The meeting of the stockholders of
the Black Bear Consolidated Mining
company, held in this city last Mon
day evening, represented more than
two thirds of the outstanding stock of
the company. The company has
capital stock of 1,250000 shares or
these 1,O07,497 are issued, leaving
242,50S in the treasury. In the meet
ing Just held there were 775,835 shares
represented by proxy and 3S0,552 rep
resented in person. The meeting was
called for the purpose of taking ac-
tion on the proposition to increase
the capital stock of the company from
1850, 900 shares to 100000 and also a
vote on the question Of authorizing the
directors to borrow money to be used
in equipping and operating its mining
property and to mortgage the same to
secure the payment of the money so
borrowed. Both propositions were
adopted. Only one vote was recorded
against the first and two against the
second. The authority to borrow the
money was limited to 100000.
Plans of the Company.
It is understood that several attrac-
tive propositions have been made to
finance the company, all of which in
volved control which was practically
impossible to deliver, as stockholders
as a rule declined to surrender por-
tion of their holdings. 1t was to over
come this difficulty that 100000 shares
we're added to the capital which en-
ables the company to pass control
without disturbing individual hold
ings 1t is understood that one or
more propositions are now pending,
and the action of the stockholders in
increasing the capital stock may open
the way to successful negotiations.
Lease Western Union Mill.
| In the meantime the directors of the
Black Bear company, by the author
ity conferred upon them by the stock
holders, are in position to negotiate a
loan with the view to placing the
property on productive basis. with
this in view the directors several
months ago secured a lease on the
Western Union mill, and about six
miles from the mine. The plan Is to
increase the capacity of the Western
Union mill to 125 or $50 tons, which
1t is estimated would involve an ex-
penditure of probably $4,000. At the
same time large compressor would
be installed at the mine and all ia
cilities provided for the economical
operation of the property.
The Black Bear has a large amount
of ore blocked out and it is only ne
cessary to provide the necessary
equipment for mining and milling to
place it upon productive basis.

declared in Shoshone county and con-
tinued for a year or more AS a means
of eliminating the disturbing element
from the mines of the district, the
military authorities adopted a system
which required every employe to OBJ

continuance of martial law and the
withdrawal of the soldiers the min

modified form, and for years every
company in the district with the eX-

employment office in securing men.

their time to much greater advantage
by combating the influences, for
which Governor Alexander seems to be
responsible, which would make the
state university political rather than
an educational machine, instead Of
engaging in idle discussion of divid-
ing the state. The governor has now
accomplished the first essential in fur

and control the university. There may
have been ample reasons for accept

ALICE BOND AND LEASE
LOOKS GOOD TO BOOTH
MUCH ORE ON FIRST LEVEL
MILL AND EQUIPMENT IN
GOOD CONDITION..

Last December E. d. Booth, of Kel
logg, we'll known mining man o.
wide and successful experience in this
district, secured lease and bond or
the Alice mine. The principal stock.
holders in the Alice Mining company
are Walter Mckay, of Portland, the
estate of Richard Wilson, the estate
of A. G. Kerns, Fred M. Russell, Jas
F. Mccarthy and Ed Doyle. The
terms of the bond and lease have not
been made public. Since taking over
the property Mr.. Booth has had three
men employed prospecting the ground
along the 100 level, and he expressed
himself this week as very much pleas
ed with the showing so far developed
Old drifts and crosscuts have been
cleaned out and extended, raises and
slopes opened and explored, all with
the view to get line on old ore bod
les and to the opening of new ones. In
both these respects he reports his
work proving highly satisfactory Ore
has been exposed, some of it of ship
ping grade, at numerous points on this
level and the outlook for the property
is decidedly encouraging
Extensive Workings.
The Alice group is a large one, sit
uated on Ruddy guleh, about two miles
west of Mullan. The property was ex-
tensively developed years ago by the
original company, which built a mill
of $50 tons capacity and otherwise
equipped the property for permanent
operation. The shaft was sunk 600
feet and several miles of drifts and
crosscuts run. During this period it
is reliably stated that the Alice COM
pany shipped concentrates to the value
of $2S0,000 However, the operations
of the company did not prove sue
cessful and the mine was shut down.
During the subsequent years numer-
Gus leases and bonds have been taken
ure of all these efforts has not de-
stroyed faith in the Alice, and many
hold to the opinion that the trouble
has been with the management rather
than the mine.
Equipment in Good Condition.
The hoist, motors, compressor, mill,
and in fact all the equipment at the
Alice are in good condition and Mr..
Booth states that the mill can be
started with very little expense for
repairs. While he did not say so, his
talk indicated that it would not be
long until the mill would be in oper-
alton. He is taking hold Of the. mine
in a manner that will insure thor
ough and systematic investigation, and
it is safe to assume that if he starts
the mill he will have the feed to keep
it going and of kind that will show
a profit.

IDAHO EVADA.

The arrival of the necessary copper
wire this week enabled the Idaho
Nevada company to proceed at once
to install the new electric pump. This
will be accomplished this week, which
will relieve the compressor and en-
able the company to work shift in
both the east and west drifts. The
property is now well equipped with
new hoist, pump and electric power,
and there seems nothing in the way
to prevent its steady and rapid devel-
opment.
