AT the meeting of the National
Parks Highway association in Spokane
last week that section of the Yellow
stone trail between Missoula and Spo-
kane, passing through the Occur
dAlene district was officially recog-
niZed as a part Of the National Parks
highway. The official map issued by
the association shows this route as
part OF the system, which is nearly
200 miles shorter than the northern
route. The Improvement of the road
now being made in Mineral county and
the completion of the work In Fourth
of July canyon will leave nothing to
be done to make this the popular high
way except the elimination Of the
heavy and dangerous grade across the
Idaho Montana divide by building
about two miles of road to Lookout

INTERESTING HISTORY
THE STRIKE ON the Sherman this

THE STRIKE on the Sherman this
week means that another mine
is to be added to the list of re-
markable mineral producers that
have made Burke famous as the center
OF one of the richest mineral sections
N earth Like all things earthly,
there is limit to the life of all mines,
but this causes no apprehension at
Burke, for in that small area of mar
Helous mineral richness there is al
ways a new mine coming up to fore
stall the passing of an old one. A
quarter of a century ago the Union,
overlooking Burke. was regarded as
one of the coming mines of the dis
trict. 1t was owned by a company of
which Finch & Campbell were the
controlling factors. and it's develop
ment had progressed to point that
induced the company to build a mill
near Wallace, construct a gravity
tramway to convey the ore from the
mine to the railroad, and in all re-
spects to equip the property for pro-
duction. Milling methods in those
days were crude compared with the
processes that now prevail, and diff
culties were encountered in the treat
ment of Union ore which could not be
overcome. Or probably they would
have been overcome had it not been
that about that time Finch & Camp
bell struck the big Standard ore shoot
and instead of building another min
they simply transferred the Union
mill to the Standard, which proved
bonanza from the start, and the Union
mine was practically abandoned so

produced and in net profits.
The record is found presented in con-
venient form for reference in the tab
ular statement below, compiled from
the sworn statements filed in the Of
flee of the county assessor Along
with the figures for 1916 Is also pre-
scented the records for 1915 and 1914,
which will be found of great value
for comparison. These three years
are especially interesting, as they
cover the entire period of the Euro
pean war up to the first of this year
The war started on August l, 1914,
and prior to that date the year had
been notable for low prices and a weak
metal market generally. Before the
end of the year the war demand for
lead and zinc was manifested by
stronger prices, and throughout 1915
and 1916 the prices of both lead and
zinc have maintained high level
never known in the history of the
metals. The price of silver was lit
tie affected by the war during 1916,
but in 1916 it was strong, particularly
in the last half of the year and was
a factor of Importance in swelling the
profits of the lead miners.
Unfortunately the reports of the
various companies are not uniform in
designating the tons of ore extracted,
which renders it impossible to deter

MARSH.
Company viii Begin Sending Ore to
the Mill Today.

Underground work at the Marsh Is
now chiefly directed to the extraction
Of ore. 1t Is estimated that there Is
upwards Of 25,0Oo tons above the 900
level and this is now being stopped and
sent to the mill, which is scheduled to
begin operations today. The mill will
be used Jointly with the Hecla COM
pany, which is now using 1t under
lease, but the time will be divided on
n different basis from that heretofore
announced. The Marsh will use It
third of month and the Hecla two
thirds. The Marsh management ex-
poets to put through 200 tons Of ore
per day or 1000 tons a month. The
new pump Is in position on the 900
level and will be held in reserve the

The highest estimate of the net pro-
fits for 1916 fell far short of the actual
figures. This is the more remarkable
when it is remembered that the cost
of labor and all material and supplies
that enter into mining operations have
advanced along with the prices Of the
metals. 1t is a most gratifying show
ing, and the best feature is that the
great gross value means new wealth
created and the princely profits are
obtained without imposing loss on
some one else. Out of a total gross
value of $32,500,OOO, in round figures,
the stockholders received $12,000000,
leaving $1S,500,000 to be distributed
among employees of the companies,
railroads, snelters, machinery manu-
tatcurers, farmers, lumbermen, stock
raisers, fruit growers, truck farmers,
merchants, and in fact among all
classes of citizens in all occupations,

SEVEN FEET HIGH GRADE
IN JACK WAITE MINE
FOUR HUNDRED TONS READY
FOR SHlPMENT--MAY
BUILD MILL.

"HE JACK WAITE company has
experienced much difficulty dur
ing the past few weeks in de-
livering ore from the mine to
the railroad on account of the bad
condition of the road. The trouble is
now being rapidly overcome and it is
expected that by the last of the week
the usual shipments will be moving.
Work in the mine has been going on
with the result that large amount
of ore has been broken, estimated at
400 tons, and is in the chutes ready for
shipment In one stope there is q
shoot of ore that has been opened for
over 100 feet and this week showed
- feet of practically clean shipping ore.
The entire 100 feet is Of course not of
that high grade. but 1t is fine body
of ore and much of 1t of shipping
grade.
The Lower Tunnel.
The lower tunnel is also receiving
attention and the results are very en-
couraging During the past month
the drift has been extended west
about so feet, mrking showing of ore
for that distance of milling grade.
Drifting east 70 feet has also dis
closed milling ore for that distance.
Work Is still in progress in both di-
rections. The lower and upper tun-

An intermediate level has been run

Mill This Summer.
The Jack Waite company has the
matter of building a mill this summer
under consideration, but there seems
to be no foundation for the statement
published q few weeks ago to the
effect that the company proposed to
borrow 100000 for the purpose. on
the contrary, the company expects the
mine to pay for the mill without In
CURING a debt. With the road re-
stored to passabe condition the COM
pany is in position to ship 300 or 400
tons per month. Shipments average
so per cent lead, so it is plain that at
the present price Of the metal it VIII
not require long to accumulate a sur
plus to take care of the mill.
