TO DANCE. OR NOT To DANCE

Really, the melting purpose of these
lines is not to try to answer the fore
going question, either as 10 the ethics
of dancing as a social pastime, or as to
its admission to our public school
building although the latter, even if
not at all closely adhered to, was the
putative cause for and subject of, dis
cussion before the largely attended
gathering at the high school auditor
ium last Friday evening. 1t is rather
by that gathering itself, by the char
acter and trend of the speaking heard
there and by the apparent influence OF
all upon our community, that these re-
Elections are inspired.
The mere fact of such a gathering
at such place and for such purpose,
constitutes a testimonial TO the alert
interest of the people of Twin Falls
in educational matters generally and
their own magnificent public schools
in particular that can not be too high
ly praised nor commended. And it
would also seem that a public discus
sion, in the right spirit and manner,
of a public or semi-public question,
like the one here under consideration,
must make for enlightened under
standing. both general and individual
and therefore for good But was
such the case in the present instance,
and if not, why not2 OF the many men
and women present was there single

modified or changed by what they
there heard and was the spirit with
which each left the meeting a pleasant.

We greatly fear that, in the interest
of truth. all the foregoing questions
must be answered in the negative: but
as to the why's and why nots. the re-
Spouse is not so certain, so simple nor
so easy. Two words. however, will go
further in this direction than all the
rest of the English language. They
are: Prejudice and Intolerance and
especially the latter.
1t has been said often and truly that
prejudice yields to no argument; but
even prejudice can be Modified, if not
modified. So it was that when speak
ers at this meeting quietly told their
experience and conclusions therefrom.
leaving each hearers opinion unchal-
lenged and uncondemned, all was well.
There is not. necessarily any intol-
erance connected with honest differ
ence of opinion never. so long as each
person recognizes human fa1libility
But when real Intolerance takes the
floor-when manner tones and Ian
guage proclaim that here alone IS
truth and right-that anyone who
waivers or doubts is worse than an in
fidel and will surely be damned and
well deserves it-when this comes to
an individual or to an assemblage, at
this meeting or anywhere. all chance
for consideration upon the merits is
gone. active antagonism is aroused
and the fighting spirit of unregenerate
humanity holds full sway.
Perhaps this should not be so, but
it is, has ever been and Will probably
continue to be until the millennium.
And that beneficent era, for the COM
ing of which all Christian churches
and peoples are looking. and working
and praying, will never be advanced
by the spirit or the practice of IntOI-
erance upon the part of saint or sin
ner, priest or layman

EAST CALEDONIA MINES
DEVELOPING 400 LEVEL
REPORT SHOWS MUCH ACCOM-.
PLlSHED AND ENcoURAG.
ING RESULTS.

Under date of March 10 the officers
Of @the East Caledonia Mines COM
pany issued statement to the stock
holders covering the period from No
rember 10, accompanied by a report
from Rush j. White, mining engineer
in charge of the property. While the
results have not proved as satisfact-
DRY as desired, the showings develop
ed on the 200 and 800 levels are en-
couraging, and the work accomplished
ny the money expended is creditabie
to the management Between August
/ and February | work was confined
to the 900 level and during that per-
Tod 1447 feet was accomplished COS
drift. Ore was found at various
points, but not of commercial value.
In a crosscut running south $50 feet
west from the shaft two feet of ore
was encountered carrying TO per cent
lead and 4.3 ounces of silver This ore
rad better appearance and carried
more silver than any previously found
but II did not prove continuous.
Work on 400 Level.
or the present work and plans Of
the company, Manager White says:
1.-The first of February it was de-
cided that it would be we'll to pros
pect the 4O0-foot level, inasmuch as
the shaft is already sunk to that depth
and the conditions on the 300-foot
level were such as to lead to the hope
that ore might be found in larger
quantities at that depth. We started
to unwater the shaft on the 4th of
February. 1t was found to be exact
~ 400 feet deep. At this time the
crosscut has been driven 20 feet north
from the bottom of the shaft and Wild
ened out for a stump. A skip pocket
before March S, $50 feet below the
collar of the shaft.
''The cost from August to Febru-
airy | was $11,142.75, of which $7627.SS
covers the payroll, the bala
for supplies. During this period 1867
feet of work was done at cost Of
1915 per foot. This figure covers all
costs of mining and superintendent.
1T Is the intention of the manage
ment to thoroughly prospect the 400
foot level in the areas that give prom

Gently completed the consolidation of
two well known groups of claims
known as the Rough Rider and Terra
Firma and transferred them to the
Valentine Mining company and plans
have been completed for further de-
veloping them this spring ana sum-
mer. The property is situated about
five miles north of Deborgia and ad-
joins the well known Rock Island
property, from which considerable ore
has been shipped. The ore is identi-
cal with the lead-slver ore of the
Occur dAlene district, and is in fact
4 continuation of this great mineral
zone. The Valentine is an extension
of the Rock Island vein, and in a
shaft and other shallow openings ore
has been disclosed carrying from 10
to so per cent lead, with an ounce OF
silver for each unit of lead.
Crosscut Near Vein.
A crosscut tunnel has been run 500
feet and will cut the vein in about
200 feet at depth of over 1875 feet,
and the showing developed above JUS

Connecting the property with the rail-
road at Deborgia There is an abund-
ance of timber for mining purposes,
good buildings and the usual equip
ment for working a property at that

claims in the consolidated property.
Plans have been completed for financ-
ing the company and it is expected
that active development will begin
just as soon as the disappearance Of
snow will permit the delivery of sup
plies.

NINE MILE.
Two Feet of Fair Milling Ore En-.
countered in Crosscut

Two Feet Of Fair Milling Ore En-
countered in Crosscut.
Samples of ore taken from the up
per crosscut of the Nine Mile Mining
company We're exhibited this morn
| ing. The crosscut starts just above
| the Nine Mile wagon road about four
miles from this city. The lead was
opened and some ore found many
years ago, but the old workings have
long been caved This new work
gives considerably more depth and
to the lead, there is some copper in
evidence and former assays show as
high as $40 in gold. This ore is the
same shoot that was encountered in a
above the railroad track on the west
fork, and its further exploration will
determine plans for permanent deep
development. The property lies west
of and adjoins the Success and is
presumed to be on the same lead. The
crosscut has been in vein material for
about 20 feet, cutting several string
ers Of galena, and it is believed that
the ore from which the samples were
taken is the main vein. The samples
represent about two feet in width, be-
ing quartz and quartzite carrying suf-
flcient galena to make 1t Of fair mill
ing grade. Some Of the large owners
Of the Nine Mile are Judge w. W..
Woods, John w. Fink, Ole Linn, Sam
Linn and the estate of A. G. Kerns.

represented in this county chapter by
at least one member.
Hospital units are now being or
ganized under special instructions
from the surgeons general of the army
and navy and the public is earnestly
requested to assist not only in the
contribution Of money, but in the pre-
paration of the necessary supplies,
especially those which can be made by
volunteer workers.
The Red Cross is anxious to have
available a sufficient quantity of such
supplies to meet the first overwhelm-
ing demands should our country be
involved in war.
Stations for the storage Of these
supplies will be established by the
Red Cross in various parts of the
United States.
While war is threatening money
nd supplies given to the American
Red Cross by any one will not be sent
to any foreign country unless special
request is made to do so by the sub
scriber.

Red Cross Society Organized Why Your
Country Needs You Now as a Member

In response to call by Mayor
Mowery for a mass meeting in the
high school auditorium last Thurs
day evening, a large number of citi-
zens. both men and women assembled
and after hearing the plans and pur-
poses of the Red Cross society out
lined, an organization was effected
which will embrace Shoshone county
with the following officers: President,
Mrs. c. w. Beale; vice president, Mrs.
Stanley p. Fairweather: secretary,
Miss Shields: treasurer Mrs. c. w.
Gibbs. Harry l.. Day, of Wallace, was
elected head of the military relief di-
vision, and Stanly A. Easton, of KEEL
logg. head of the civic branch. 1t
was decided to elect an executive COM
mittee OF 20 members, representing all
parts of the county. and a nominal
Ing committee consisting of Mayor
Mowery, Rev. d. NJ. Helmick and Mrs
Edward Boyce was appointed to select
the members and report at subse-
quent meeting. Mrs. Harry r. Allen
was elected chairman of the member
ship committee and an active cam
paign has been started to increase the
enrolment which is expected to
reach at least 1000 in the county.
Since the organization has been
completed the officers of the local Red
Cross have been very active in the
efforts to place the society on a work.
ing basis at the earliest possible date.
As means of encouraging member
ship the officers have authorized the
publication of the following statement
in the press of the county:
Why Your County Needs You just
Now as a Member of the
Red Cross
l. Because such membership is an
expression of patriotism in this, your
Country's hour of need.
2. Because this is the only way in
which most of us can show our 10y
atty to America
3. Because the Red Cross is the
only agency authorized by congress
which must make preparations in
time of peace to assist the medical
departments of the army and navy in
time of war"

ports made by producers and selling
agencies. Both the New York and st.
