SCHEELITE ORE IN
WARRENS DISTRICT

Specimens Of scheelite cut at a depth
of $50 feet in the tunnel being driven
to cut the main vein on the Giant
to Boise this week by Jay A. Czizek.
Assays returned today proved beyond
a doubt that the specimens were fine
quality scheelite, the value of which Is
$40 to $24 per unit. An eight-inch
vein of the ore was encountered in the
tunnel and development work on it
will be extended.
Mr. Czizek, manager of the Unity
Gold mines properties, is highly pleased
with the ore discovered and declares
that it bears out the report made more
than 20 years ago in the district that
scheelite ore existed there in small
quantities and would likely show up in
greater quantities when the work ings
were of greater depth.
In the tunnel being driven to cut
the main vein, Mr.. Czizek reports there
lis still 200 feet to drive and that with
labor conditions bad because of the
difficulty of getting men at all in the
district the work has necessarily pro-
crossed slowly for the past two months
but he hopes to cut the vein shortly
after the first of the year.
In the Rescue mine, he reports the
encounter of good vein Of ore and
that the owners propose sinking an
other 100 feet.
After few days here. Mr.. Czizek in
tends going east to confer with CAPT.
talists with whom he is associated. He
will return to Warrens late in Deem
Der after spending Christmas at his
home in California.

the time has come when no doubt can
remain regarding the status of any
person against whom the finger Of
suspicion points.
TEACH TREASON TO CHILDREN.
Reports received here from northern
Idaho are to the effect that active
German sympathizers are not only by
their acts assisting Germany to win
the present war, but have gone SO far
as to teach their children treason. 1t
is claimed such surprising situations
are not entirely confined to northern
Idaho; that the same thing is being
done in other parts Of the state.
The committee in charge of the food
pledge campaign in Boise discovered
some 20 or 20 people who fatty re-
fused to sign the pledges and openly
stated they favored Germany in the
present world war az against the
United States.
The names of Boise people who so
refused have not yet been made pub
lie. The report Of the committee is
in the hands of r. F. Bicknell, federal
food administrator. thorough inves-
tigation is to be made by the admin
istrator. Until this,is done 1t 10 prob
able that no action will be taken.
TALK SECRET SERVICE.
The state council of defense has
made arrangements to safeguard the
interests of the state by the perfecting
of county organizations. 1t is probable
that in face of the disclosures that
greater care with the county organiza-
lions will be taken than was at first
anticipated.
A proposal has been made that every
county in the state perfect it's own
secret service branch for the purpose
of blocking any pro- German activities
which are being secretly carried on in,
it is reported, many parts of the state,
Such a branch of the service would
materially aid the federal, state and
county officials, it is claimed. The
proposal has been seriously considered
in Ada county.

NORTH AND SOUTH
HIGHWAY THE BIG
idaho ROAD ISSUE
Commission Summoned to
Meet in Boise Nov. Is
When Almost Entire At
tention Be Given Road.

The north and south highway is 60
ing to receive more serious attention
from the state highway commission in
the future than any other road within
the state, for it is considered impera-
tive now that direct communication
with northern and southern Idaho he
made possible. For the purpose of
working out It's plans with reference
to the completion Of this highway the
state commission has been called to
meet in Boise Nov. 15.
WILL HELP GOVERNMENT.
1t was said at the statehouse that
because Of the necessity Of develop
ing the resources Of the state and
thereby make more rapid the plans
for placing within reach Of the gov
eminent all raw materials, the build
ing Of this main highway becomes
absolutely essential. 1t is largely be-
cause Of this fact that the commission
intends to direct most Of its future at
tention to it than to any other road
whose construction is contemplated.
The general plans for building the road
will be placed in the hands of the state
new highway engineer, H. c. Allen Of
Wallace, who succeeded z. Fl. Booth
All members of the commission are
expected to be in Boise on the date
announced for the commission meet
ing to give the north and south high
way problem their serious attention.
PRELIMINARY WORK DONE.
During the past year work on this
highway has advanced. With the
Lewiston Hill highway completed
with work in progress on the Lapwai
Valley section, and road work under
way in Adams and Washington coun-
ties, the preliminary plans for the
construction Of the road have a good
start. The Grangeville- Whitebird link
is soon to be placed under contract.
CONTRACT TO BE AWARDED.
The awarding of contracts on the
link from New Meadows northward to
Whitebird and Grangeville awaits ac-
ton by the federal government for, 1t
is to join with the state and counties
in construction work. The government
engineers have approved the survey
and II Is not expected there will be
any delay in granting approval. This
link In the road will cost three quart
ers Of a million dollars. The state and
government bear the construction ex-
pense with the exception of $4,000
which is supplied by the districts. The
road traverses the Salmon river can
son the greater part of the way.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June 12.-Ideal weather condi- tions over the greater part of the wheat belt had a bearish effect today on prices The outcome was an unsettled finish. to 3 cents net lower. with July at $2 .SS and September at $2.OS. Corn closed h-cent to S7s cents down and oats off cent to 1&c provisions wound up unchanged to a, cents higher
 Welcome rain fell In the spring wheat region, where as clear warm weather pre- vailed throughout most of the winter crop territory. Reports of increased arrival of wheat in Great Britain and of liberal floating supply counted also against the bulls. Scarcity of cash offerings here and at other domestic centers however. helped to check declines and to bring about at one time decided rally.
 Corn, like wheat, went down grade, ow- ing to better weather conditions Crop reports from railroad and other sources were generally optimistic although con siderable damage was said to have been done by excessive rains especially on lowlands. Eager demand for immediate delivery corn led after midday to a sharp bulge which, however, caused fresh real izing by holders and renewed down turn of prices,
 Oats ruled easier in sympathy with corn.
 Provisions were in brisk demand. The stimulus appeared to be chiefly due to higher quotations at Liverpool and in the hog market here.
 Future quotations were as follows.

RENEWED ACTIVITY
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at Net Advance of AS to
 62 Points

New York, June 12-The cotton mar ket showed renewed activity and ex- citement today with many bullish pre- dictions realized when July contracts sold up to the 25c level. Very sharp reactions followed the early advance but good part of the losses were re- covered, July closing at 24.92c, while the general list closed very steady at a net advance of AS to 62 points
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 31 to 65 points and the ac- tive months sold 5S to 65 points net higher before the ehd of the first half hour on a renewal of the recent buy ing movement The demand was stim- ulated by the sensational strength of Liverpool, while there was active buy ing here by houses with Liverpool con- nections. This first advance carried July up to 25c and October to 24.49c prices which attracted more or less general profit taking. Offerings were absorbed on a reaction Of about 70 points during the middle of the morn- ing. and the market frmed up again with July selling back to the 25c level, while later months made new high ground, October advancing to 24.55c and December to 24.70c, with the general list showing net gains of 5S to 70 points. The market then weakened un- der renewed profit taking with the selling promoted by reports of an easier spot basis and talk of hedge selling around the local ring. July broke to 24.42c, or back to last nights closing price, while October sold off to 2S.9ic and December to 24.12c, or more than half a cent from the best level Offer ings then tapered off and the market rallied sharply late in the afternoon on covering and renewal Of trade buying. The high temperatures re- ported in.the southwest were consld- cred favorable but the weather map seemed to be attracting very little at tention and the interest of traders was evidently monopolized by the technical position and the strength in Liverpool One of the private cables received here said that Liverpool had been advanced by shorts covering, a good spot de- mand and apprehensions of an insuf- ficient supply Reports that the goods market was advancing with raw ma terial were also a factor on the ad- vance. but at times during the day the demand attributed to trade inter ests was less in evidence. Port receipts, 15. 236. United States port stocks, S60,- 344 Exports today, S575, making 4,9S0,- 731 so far this season.

TRADING UNCERTAIN
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
General Financial Situation Factor in Dealings and
 Conservatism Prevailed

New York, June 12.-Trading proceeded with greater caution today, a logical re- suit of latest factors in the general fnan- cial situation. Foremost among these were the stiffer money rates. Call loans did not rise to their maximum of the previous day, ruling between Az and per cent. but time accommodations hard ened F to 1 per cent for most maturities'
 The more conservative attitude main ftained by local banks in accepting col lateral for loans and a new minimum of 23 50 for Russian exchange were among the other incidents that served to take the keen edge off bullish enthusiasm. These were neutralzed in part by more hopeful feeling regarding the outcome of the liberty loan
 Prices were uncertain at the outset, but became firmer almost Immediately, only to fall back before the end of the first hour. At midday another rally was in order, the movement attaining wider proportions on the strengths of rails.
 Transcontinentals grangers, coalers and minor western and southwestern issues figured among the active rails at ex- treme gains of 1 to 21a points.
 Dealings dwindled on the rebound, the rise evidently failing to evoke outside interest. Best quotations were made in the final hour, but the movement was again subject to profit taking at that stage
 United States Steel, which fell to 12s1a on the lineral offerings of the forenoon, rallied to 1874 and closed at 1905, net gain of % of a point. Bethlehem Steel, new stock, and Lackawanna Steel made extreme gains of 11s to points and Saw age Arms, one of the inactive munitions, made a net gain of points at SS
 Industrial Alcohol and United Cigar Stores were among the strongest issues at the finish the former making up much of yesterdays severe decline. Motors, oils and sugars were backward through out the session. Total sales amounted to 775,O00 shares.
 Bonds were inclined to droop prices showing some irregularity with low-priced convertibles. Total sales, par value, az gregated s2,250,0o0.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call but the coupon 3s fell $ per cent on single sale.
