Idaho Mines Show Great Prosperity for
First Six Months of 1917; Comprehen-
sive Review by U. S. Geological Survey

10000 tons per month of crude ore
and concentrates was shipped. Most
of the zinc material is from the Con-
solidated Interstate Callahan mine at
Sunset. In the first quarter of 1917,
1883 tons of zinc ore and concen-
trate, containing 12,614.475 pounds
gross Of zinc. We're shipped. This is
slightly less than the quarterly aver
age for 1916. The shipments from the
Green Hill Cleveland and Frisco were
ess. but the Morning. Success, High
and-Surprise, Douglas. Rex and Her.
cules made the usual contributions. In
1917 the Hecla and Ray Jefferson
joined the zinc shippers.

Although the amount Of ore that has
been appearing In the Alameda cross
cut for several hundred feet showed a
decided increase the first of the week.
1t Is not sufficint to justify the reports
regarding its extent. The vein Is still
ahead and the crosscut Is going for
ward without regard to the ore just
encountered The crosscut is now ir
about 1850 feet and much confidence
is felt that an important ore shoot will
be found when the vein is reached.

UTILIZING CONCRETE; A
NEW AND NOVEL METHOD
MINING COMPANIES ADOPT IT TO
MAKE BUILDINGS AND TIM.
BERs FlREPRooF.

C. II. Abeling, an engineer In the
employ of the Traylor Engineering &
Manufacturing company, Of Salt Lake
City, left yesterday for Spokane and
Denver. Mr.. Abeling has spent sew
eral weeks in the district, and among
other work, he instructed crews In the
operation Of the cement gun at the
Hercules and Hecla mines. The ce-
ment gun is a patent device owned by
the Traylor company for coating walls
of buildings, tunnels, shafts or any
structure where concrete Is desired
either in original construction or as a
coating for protection against fire.
Cement and sand are mixed dry and
forced through nozzle by compress
ed air under about 40 pounds pressure
Near the end Of the nozzle small
streams of waters are introduced under
heavier pressure than that applied
to the cement which gives the mixture
the required moisture, and 1t Is spray
ed against the wall or surface to BIZ
coated.
Various Uses.
The Hercules company Is fireproof'
ling some $4,000 square feet OF crib
bing at Burke and the portal OF tht
Humming Bird tunnel. The walls OF
large three story club house and f1r'
hall being built by the company at thu
mouth of Gorge gulch will be shot oil
with the gun; also 60xS-foot settling
tank constructed at the Hercules mil
below Wallace. The gun accomplishe
this work without the use Of any form
thus making a great saving in lumber
The Hecla Mining company will
shoot the walls and partitions OF
large concrete dry house with the CUR
construct an oil house and freproo
various structures about their plant.
Abandoned crosscuts in the Cobal
district, Ontario, have been coate
J and bulkheaded with the cement gu
making Of them large underground al
receivers. The ease and ,continuit
of operation and speed Of placing ma
terial are notable features of the ma
chine.

The statements made by Mining
Truth to which Mr.. Percival refers as
"misstatements of fact" are contain
ed in the following paragraphs:
"The decision is undoubtedly a Sc
we're blow to Interstate callahan, as it
results in loss of large acreage in
the midst Of it's extensive holdings.
First and last approximately $250,0O0
has been spent in development and 1t
is understood that an ore body. prac-
|tically 1000 feet in length, has been
developed by the main tunnel connect
ing with the Interstate Callahan shaft.
1T is. rumored here that the Day in
terests stand ready to provide the
100000 which must be paid to the
mining company under the courts de-
cree and that the sum will he forth
coming as soon as the lower court mas
established the reasonable time" in
which Burke is permitted to comply
with the requirements of the original
option. This report is strengthened
by the we'll known fact that the Days
!have long been at war with the Amer.
lean Metals company, which controls
Interstate Callahan, and it is not be-
lieved they will overlook such an OPP
portunity of getting even.'

LINEN FROCK OF TWO C0LoRS
Especially Attractive Model Is Made
of Pale Rose and a Darker Shade
of Orchid Pink.

Among the pretty linen frOcks
which are being worn now in great
quantities none is prettier than those
Of two contrasting or harmOnizing col
Ors. One model Is especially attrac-
tive, made of pale rose and a dark
er shade Of orchid pink. The jumper
top is of the lighter linen, and the
rather full circular skirt is of the
darker shade. Where the two colors
join is a broad belt, made so that 1t
lies like a broad upturned cuff around
the hips. The sleeves are of the light
with cuffs of dark and turnbacks again
of light.
This combining of materials is per-
haps the outcome of necessity as well
as design, for anyone who goes much
about the shops will have noticed how
many short lengths Of linen there are
for sale. It would seem as If the odd
bits of this precious material were be-
ing gathered from all sources and
made the most of. 1t quite frequently
happens also that the price asked for
these remnants Is the old pre-war fig
ure, and so they may achieve with
clever handling quite satisfactory and
economical results.

LITTLE SALT is IMPORTED
Practically All of 45,72o,e6o Barrels
Consumed in Country in 1916 Pro-
duced at Home.

The domestic consumption Of salt in
1916 was 45,72O,S6O barrels Of $50
pounds each, an increase of more
than 100000 barrels over the con-
sumption of 1915. According to statis-
tics compiled under the direction of r.
w. Stone of Uncle Sans geological
survey, the domestic production Of salt
In 1915 was 45,449, 1929 barrels, the i'm
ports were 81 1892 barrels, and the ex-
ports 60O,461 barrels. This was an
increase of Is per cent in the guam
tity produced. The total value Of the
salt was $13,645,947.
Michigan, as usual, was the largest
producer, and New York was close
second, The production, in barrels, by
the leading states was as follows:
Michigan, 14,918,278; New York, a.
O87, $50; Ohio, 6,706, 1893; Kansas, 1854
1893; California, 1,124,236.
Perhaps the most marked feature in
the salt industry in 1916 was the great
Increase in quantity of brine sold as
such or used by chemical works, the in
crease being 81 per cent and the total
production over 100000 barrels. The
production of rock salt increased over
II per cent and amounted to 9,973, $50
barrels, valued at $2,665,270. On the
other hand, the production Of evapo-
rated salt increased only per cent,
to 17,575,629 barrels, but the value
was $40, ,412, an increase of nearly
Is per cent.

1t is carried out with dark brown art
serge, and 1t Is lined with pale pink
japanese silk. 1t is made in the form
of book, and the two sides of the case
are stiffened with pieces of card cut
to fit and sewn in between the cover

Upon the left-hand side there are
two pockets, the upper one for holding
cards of buttons, and the lower pocket

Upon the right-hand side of the case
there is pointed pocket for holding

be made to fit the scissors it is inten-
ded for quite tightly.
In the center of the book there are
two leaves Of flannel, cut intopoints at

LOSE MILLIONS EVERY YEAR
American Wool Growers Fail to Put
Their Product in First-CIass Con-
dition for Market, 1t Is Said.

American wool growers lose between
six million and eight million dollars
a year because they do not put their
wool up for sale in flrst-class condi-
ton. They get that much less cash
than the actual value Of the wool. In
other words, foreign wools, Australian
particularly, bring in the American
cents pound more than the same
grade of American wool because the
latter is carelessly prepared for mar.
ket. This difference is due to failure
to classify the woel, and to defects
from the use Of improper sacks, twine,
branding paints and various minor
causes which lower value.
Uncle Sans department Of agricul.
ture is endeavoring to help the Ameri.
can wool grower to save this $6,000000
a year and has formed some simple
rules which the secretary Of agricul-
ture states no grower either on farm
or range can afford to neglect to en-.
hance the value and reputation Of his
clip. The extra work and expense
which must be borne by the wool
grower to secure this additional price,
1t is stated, are hardly worth coDsid-
ering. 1t is a matter Of almost clean
profit.
It is wrong supposition that the
entire fleece goes into the production
Of a garment, so that the amount of
finished cloth is equal to the amount
of secured wool. A number Of tests
reported by different mills show that
for woolen goods from to AZ
pounds of unwashed wool were re-
quired to make one pound of Cloth.
For worsted cloths from 21s to Az
pounds of wool were required for
weaving one pound Of cloth.

Women Demand Comfort.

In the matter of hats 1t is difficult
for the fashion arbiters to gain any
headway with uncomfortable styles.
Sometimes in the spring there is a
positive announcement that brimless
hats will supersede all others in favor.
And they do until the time arrives
when the protection of the eyes and
face calls for brim. Gradually the
brim comes in, at first narrow, and
then wider. Sometimes, as in this sea-
son, there has been no attempt to force
the small ones to the exclusion of the
narrow ones. The idea this year is to
have brims either very wide or very
narrow. But there are perfectly good
looking ones in all the intermediate
width Of brims.

SUNSHADES IN ODD SHAPES
Some Are Dome Shaped, While Others
Rival the Widespreading ParasoIs
of the Japanese.

Accessories are claiming more and
more attention every day. Many Of
the latest sunshades assume curious
shapes.
Those resembling lamp-shades of
the Empire period rival the wide
spreading japanese parasols.
There are others that are dome
shaped, with frilly ruffles of lace or
tulle and fringed edges. They are to
be had in every conceivable color.
Characteristic of the summer
months is the rosebud ruche.
This is the daintiest piece of neck
wear introduced by Partisan design
er.
Made of palest pink tulle, with tiny
rosebuds sewn at intervals through
the center and black velvet bow with
long ends in front, it is a becoming
setting for a pretty face.

PAUASOL TO MATCH

Hat, Is Paris Decree.
Great Simplicity Marks 5onnets
Which Are Worn In French Capital
During Present Season.

This summer in Paris there Is n
rage for smart, but very simple hats
which match the parasol.
The parasol and hat shown in the
sketch are made Of dun blue talfetas
and cyclamen-pink fatlle. The sun
shade is Of the old-fashioned dOmed
form, with wide band Of pink faille
round the edge and plated lining of
the same soft silk. The little hat is
simplicity itself, but so truly Partisan.
A high-crowned shape with narrow,
drooping, brim and for trimming a
length OF cyclamen-pink ribbon reach
ing up the sides of the high crown and
tied in n full bow right at the top, says
Idalla De Villiers, Paris correspond
