MINE PRODUCTS
SHOW INCREASE

The value of the mine production OF
gold, silver, "copper" lead and zinc in
Idaho in 1915 was $33,328,93O, an in
crease of 35 per cent over the value
in 1914, according to the mines report
just issued by director of the United
States geological survey of mineral re-
sources. The value of all metals was
greater than in any previous year,
with the most remarkable increase in
zince. Gold and silver Increased
Slightly. but silver and lead decreased.
The increase in value resulted not
|only from the record production of
zinc but from the general increase in
the price of metals.
Quantity of Ore Increases
The quantity of ore sold or treated
in the state in 1916 increased 173,4AY
tons, or nearly eight per cent. Lead
ore and lead-zinc predominated, lead
ore being nearly 50 per cent of the to-
tai increase and lead-zinc more than
q peg cent,
Boise and Lemhi counties Remained
the largest producers of gold, although
both showed a considerable decrease
over the previous year. Elmore and
Idaho counties showed increases in
gold production. Silver production de-
creased from s6,901,1 ,172 in 1914 to s5,-
966,s48 in 1915, nearly six per cent.
The rate of decrease was greater than
this in the Occur d'Alene region. Sho-
shone county produced nearly 95 per
cent of the silver. Copper production
increased more than eight per cent
from $S57,210 to $1,221,275. a large
decrease of copper resulted in Sho-
shone county from the closing of the
Snow Storm mine.
Lead Prices Save Decreases
The decrease in lead was more than
offset by the increase in price. The
value in 1914 was s13,5s2,517 and the
production 348,526,O69 pounds while
in 1915 the value was s16.261,a75 and
he production 345, ,9a9,466
Zine an Important Product
sixty-seven per cent of the increase
rom $2.142,634 to $S,699,001 in zinc
rom 1914 to 1915 came from the Coeur
i'Alene region. Although zinc was
considered unimportant a few years |
sgo, it is interesting to note that the
ralue of the output in the state in 1915 |
vas greater than the combined value

president BRANNON
TALKS TO. CHAMBER

President NJ. A. Brannon of the Uni
on Tuesday, brought out several points
of value in making a report upon this
recent trip over the state and which
was impossible for us to print In full
in making report of the meeting of the
chamber. Mr. Brannon said in part
as follows:
From January Sth to 18th, there was
| held at the Technical Institute. in
| Pocatel1o, a series of notable confer
ences relative to the production of
food and closer correlation between
the interests of producers and con-
sumers.
Decided emphasis was placed upon
the questions of improving quality in
seed, in live stock and in manufactur-
ing dairy products. Likewise, much
stress was laid upon the importance
OF close and friendly cooperation be-
tween the various units and factors in
each community and in every part of
our commonwealth.
The vigorous and valuable assist
ance which the technical institute re-
ceived from the Pocatello CONNER
cial club was an inspiration to all
right-thinking and constructive peo-
pie of the state. 1t is true that the
business demands and the professional
engagements of business and profess
sional men of Pocatello interferred in
some measure with their immediate |
attendance upon the numerous con- |
ferences being held on the campus of |
the technical institute. Nevertheless, |
there was displayed fine cordial spir- |
it which left no doubt in the mind of |
the visitor that he had two vigorous |
hosts, namely, the educational institu-
ton of the state and the business or
ganization of the city of Pocatello.
OF course, the major question on
all such occasions is this: What is
the real goal of our individual and
collective activities in the state? Is
this goal represented best by indus
trial achievement, or is it, after all,
centered specifically in the develop
ment, refinement and ultimate success
Of human being,-a human being who
has found that making the life is
much larger than making the living?
This life, of course, must be in har-
nony with the large patriotic ideals
If a mans state,-whether it is his
state by birth or by adoption.
This last point cannot be made too
lear for the we'll being of our people.
t has direct relation to the question
If Idaho education for Idaho youth.
True we are concerned with the edu- I
.ation of Idaho youth in other states,
tut our primary concern must be with le
'ur own state activities. If this is Y
rue, we are led to inquire why the II
atalogs of colleges and universities /
# nearby states contain names of e
"a graduates of Idaho high schools. I
his is a question for each one to +
tudy. 1t is a fact and not a mere lC
eport to which attention is called. If e
he declarations and manifestations
f cooperation which have been shown +
epeatedly by the various educational
lstitutions and various commercial La
rganizations in Idaho are one humid

that the committees recommendation
explicitly disclaimed responsibility

of the resolution, but German and
other Southern delegates insisted
that this was not going far enough
and demanded that the question be-
fore the house was on the approval
or disapproval of the report from the
committee on resolutions. A motion
to lay the report on the table was
lost and the debate was resumed.

the resolutions committee to read:
"Your committee cannot be re-
sponsible for and rejects the state
ments contained in the preamble of
