ute $4,000 toward the support of
the army and navy division of the
Y. NJ, G. A.. and of this sum the
northern counties of the state are ex-
pected to contribute 100000 Sho-
shone county's proportion Is $13,5O0.
The campaign is now on to raise this
money and there will no doubt be a
liberal response in this county and
throughout the state. The government
of the United States has recognized
the great value of the work of the Y.
NJ c. A. in the army and navy and
has given it official recognition sim
! liar to that extended to the Red Cross.
just as the Red Cross cares for the
sick and wounded. so does the Y. M. C.
A. care for the well and uninjured by
providing wholesome diversion from
their arduous duties, bringing to them
elevating influences that contribute
immeasurably to their moral, mental
and physical well being. The work of
the Y M. C. A. has won a place in the
military organization by making bet
ter men and better soldiers and every
loyal citizen should find real pleasure
in contributing to a cause that means
so much to the comfort and welfare
OF the men who are to win the war.
County Organization.
meeting was held in the probate
court room last Tuesday evening
which was the initial step in organic
| ing a drive in this county to raise
funds for the Y. M. c. A. Fred w.
Witham, who was formerly secretary
of the Y. M. c. A. at Boise, and who
is now in charge of one of the asso-
citation buildings at Camp Lewis, gave
a most interesting outline of the
work of the organization At Camp
Lewis six large Y. M. c. A, buildings
have been constructed and three more
are being built Similar buildings
have been built in France to accom-
modate the American soldiers, and
| wherever the American soldiers go
the Y. M. c. A. will follow, providing
a club for their use when off duty
which is supplied with writing mater
ial, reading matter, music, games and
IOther enjoyable and beneficial feat
Iures. 1t will require several million
dollars to equip and maintain these
buildings in various parts of the
world, but the people everywhere are
responding with liberality which
shows that the benefits derived by the
soldiers and sailors are fully appreci-
ated. General Pershing has strongly
endorsed the work of the Y. M. c. A.
and urges its liberal support.
Committees in Charge.
At the meeting Tuesday evening J.
e, Gyde was appointed county chair
man and George w. Walker county
secretary. The following executive
committee was appointed: A. P. Hut
ton, of Kellogg; H. J. Hull and c. L.
Hetman, Of Wallace.
A county committee was partially
appointed by the executive committee
as follows A. p. Hutton and John
Rock, Of Kellogg; d. c. McKissick and
f.. r. Denny, Of Wallace; J. B. Will
cox, of Mullan.
Shoshone Kootenai and Benewah
counties constitute one district, and
Huntington Taylor, of Coeur d'Alene,
is district chairman.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will be held at the Office Of Chair
man Gyde at 400 o'clock this after
noon to adopt plans for the campaign.

JACK WAITE.
New Ore Shoot Struck in Making the
Raise From Upper Tunnel.

Raise From Upper Tunnel.
Chris Grimsmoe, superintendent OF
the Jack Waite, was in the city Tues
day and stated that when he left the
mine raise that is being run from
the upper tunnel had just broken into
new ore shoot, the extent of which
was not known when he left 1t is
regarded, however, of much import
ance and it is hoped that further de-
tails will be available for the next is
sue. The Jack Waite company is con-
tinuing regular ore shipments, averag-
ing about 800 tons per month. Pre-
parations have been completed for
steady operation during the winter. All
outside work has now been rounded
up, which has enabled the company to
reduce its working force,
work now being confined to under
ground opera tions. Shipments from
the Jack Waite involve a wagon haul
of about 10 miles to the railroad sta
tion at Union. The ore averages
about so per cent lead with low value
in silver. No late announcement has
been made regarding a mill for the
mine, but it is believed that one will
be constructed early in the spring.

WORK ON TRUE EF|SSURE
BARGAIN IN MACHINERY
RUMOR THAT ROCK ISLAND MAY
SOON START-MiNlNG QUIET
AROUND DEBORGIA.

| A. l.. Thurston came over from De-
/ borgia, Mont, Tuesday afternoon anC
will probably remain in this district
during the winter. Mr.. Thurston is
largely interested in the Rock Island
and Valentine groups, upon the latter
of which he has been working for sew
eral months. The Rock Island has
shipped considerable lead silver ore
and would probably be shipping now
| had it not been for litigation over
to be settled now and the property is
reported to be in the hands of Wal
lace men who are in position to devel-
op it. There are numerous mining
propositions around Deborgia which
pnder ordinary conditions would at
tract capital but the high cost of sup
plies, difficulty of getting labor and
the general uncertainty regarding wal
prices renders it difficult to get finan
cial support.
True Fissure.
| However, the True Fissure Mining
company controlled by Wallace peo-
| pie, is preparing to work its property
all winter A new building is being
constructed to replace the one destroy
ed by a snowslide last winter This is
now nearing completion, when the
company will be ready to resume un-
Gerground work, assuming that the
water supply is sufficient The COM
pany has a compressor driven by wa
ter but the company was forced to
shut down during the summer and
fall The True Fissure vein is said to
show a heavy iron outcrop so feet
wide. and much confidence is felt that
the crosscut now being run, which will
cut the vein at depth of about 100
feet, will find a commercial ore shoot.
Everett Gets a Bargain.
It is estimated that the Deer Creek
Mining company, which has large
holdings on Deer creek, near Debor-
gla, invested 100000 in machinery,
eolipment and buildings in its efforts
TO recover TIE Soih IIoli 'i'N o'"~ '~'0
of the creek and the quartz veins that
cross it. For eight or ten years the
big enterprise has been idle, during
much of the time not even a watch
man being employed. The result Is
that much of the machinery has been
carried away. A few weeks ago Wes-
lev Everett required large amount
Of water pipe and he found just what
he wanted on Deer creek. He also
found a compressor boiler and engine

Hearing Consumed
Just Eight and
Half Days
MANY STAR WITNESSES
They Range From the Train
Expert to the Humble
Prospector

-HE TAR-FEDERAL case came
to close last Saturday evening
so far as the taking of testi-
mony is concerned, and the case
will be argued in Occur d'Alene on
December 3. The case was called in
a special session of the United States
court for the district of Idaho, Judge
F. S. DIETRICH presiding, which con-
vened Thursday afternoon, October
Is, and the taking of testimony there
fore occupied eight and a half days.
A jury having been called for the reg
ular term of the federal court at Mos
cow on Monday November 5, it was
necessary for Judge DIETRICH to dis
MISS the special term here and defer
hearing the argument as Stated above
Notable Case.
The Star Federal case is perhaps
the most notable mining litigation
that has taken place in the west in
many years, notable both for the vast
sum involved and for the brilliant ar
ray of technical men in mining engi-
neering and geology who appeared as
witnesses ON both sides of the contro-
versy. Equally imposing was the legal
representatives on both sides of the
case The litigation originated last
March, when the Star Mining COM
pany applied for an injunction direct
ed against the Federal Mining &
Smelling company, in which it was
alleged that the defendant company
in the operation of the Morning mine
had trespassed upon the ground of
plaintiff and extracted therefrom ore
valued at over half million dollars
and in doing so had practically block
ed out a million tons of ore which
would be removed unless restrained
by order of the court. The Star ask
ed that a permanent injunction be is
sued against the Federal and that it
be reimbursed for all ore wrongfuly
extracted.

Cut Three Veins.

1T will be two years next January
since the Nevada Stewart company
was organized to take over the proper
ty, and work has continued steadily
since that time. over 2200 feet of tun-
neling, crosscuts and drifts, has been
done. The company owns eight claims
lying between the Highland Surprise
and Sidney and the Little Pittsburg
groups, on the east fork of Pine creek.
"A crosscut tunnel was run 1900
countered Drifting was done on both
veins No. 1 and No. 2, in both Of
which good milling ore was found. No
drifting was done on No. 8, which
showed no values where cut.
Ore in East Drift.
Funds for carrying on the work
were provided by assessing the stock
holders, and with supplies costing
from so to 100 per cent more than for
merly, it was deemed advisable to
close down for the present. In the
east uliit ol Neii ->'' /; SoIile wv icet
from our crosscut, we have five feet
of lead-zin ore. This is not solid ore
but there is a streak of about IS inches
on the foot wall and smaller stringers
on the hanging wall side"
The Nevada Stewart has long been
regarded as one of the coming mines
of Pine creek, and the showing deVel-
oped outlined by Mr.. Sinclair seems to
fully justify this view. The property
is well equipped for development, hav-
ing a compressor driven by electric
power and good buildings for all pur.
poses

Contention of Each.

When the case came on for trial it
to prove it's right to the ore in con-
troversy. In doing so it was not de-
MED that the defendant company had
removed ore from ground beneath the
surface boundary Of the Eve
ming Star claim, but it was contended
that in doing so the defendant was
within its rights under the law of
extra lateral rights, and that the vein
from which the ore was extracted had
Its apex on the Grouse and Iron Crown
claims owned by the Federal.
The contention of the Star company
was that the alleged vein that apexed
on the Grouse and Iron Crown claims
was part of the great lode that ex-
tends through the Morning and Eve
ming Star claims crossing their COM
mon end line, and that the apex was
clearly on the Evening Star claim.

Hauling Water for Tobacco-Chew-

III. C. B.-Birds Bad After Corn
Hard Questions
Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Broad Ridge (Lumberton, R. A.,
Apr. 28-Farmers in these parts are
all about done setting tobacco. They
haul water or do any way to make II II
live. They seem to think if they'll
water it, they will have some tobacco
for sale whether the good Lord sends
rain or not. That's poor opinion.
I think. ....
The Gaddysville correspondent
seemed to be surprised at the hens
chewing tobacco and "dippin" snuff.
Well, it is mystery but this scribe's
father planted some near the house
once and they clipped" and chewed
three rows of it. There was no way
to stop them, So We had to go to the
tobacco bed and get them basket
full SO they could "dip'' and chew
same as one of the family.
The Mt. Eliam correspondent was
so slow about sending me remedy
to make a goose set till they've all
quit laying and it's too late to raise
goslings.
Messrs. S. B. Willoughby and John
w. Branch of this section spent Wed
nesday at Barnesville on business.
The hardest question to answer
these days is "What shall we have
for dinner?"
It's vote for good roads nowadays
but when will the time come for the
poor farmer to get some Of the mon.
ey that's being paid out?
I see lots about the high cost OF
living and the initials is h. c. l. But
it seems to me like us high cost Of
buying and it would be h. c. b. instead
Of h. c. |.
The birds seem to bother the farm
ers about their crops so bad till they
all make a "booger" and put in the
field.

would have to provide sinking fund,
which would make the rate six PERI
cent, and the bonds would hardly run
for less than 80 years. The history
Of such bond issues in the past proves
that such bond issues are rarelv paid
at the expiration of the term Of years
and have to be refunded, so that Of
ten, if you figure for the run of
wears, such a bond issue might cost
So for one dollar and you might fig
ure that the county would get moth
ing at all, figuring as Mr.. Klarpp
figures. By paying $4,000 interest
the first year the county gets the
use Immediately Of $4,000. That
money can be spent at once on the
roads and the people Of the county
will begin at once to get the benefit
of good roads. The next year we
get $4,000 more and pay $4,000 in,
terest on that, which, with the $4,000
makes $4,000; and SO on until the en-
tire s480,O0O have been obtained and
spent on the roads, when the interest
will amount to $4,000 q. year. But
when the county is spending $4,000
d year 1t IldS udU Clle use VI p4OO,ooo
ON it's roads and all during the re-
mainder of the time it is paying in
terest it has the use and benefits of
good roads. In the natural course of
events, if the road tax remains what
it is today. in Al years the people of
the county will have paid more than
81 100000 in road taxes and still will
not have good roads, if We continue
as we have been going, while under
the Clark bill we should get good
roads all over the county in few
,, years and should be deriving the full
benefits from good roads for little,
if any, additional tax, so that in Al
: wears we should have paid out little,
if any, more for good roads than we
, shall pay under the present plan for
, unimproved roads.
Mr.. Klarpp seems to be confused
about the road law. The road law
as amended provides that the tax
shall not exceed Is cents for main
tenance if the bond are voted That
would give between $4,000 and $685.
900 a year for maintenance, accept
ing his figures as correct. The tax
to provide interest xor the bonds
would be in addition to that. The
first year it should not require more
than 3 cents additional, making the
tax 18 cents for the first year. With
the increased valuation Of property
one may naturally expect, we do not
see why the tax should exceed 2E
cents.-Editor.
