I'VE are forced to believe that
great many stockholders do not read
our reports, because Notwithstanding
we have in large type requested that
checks drafts and money orders pc
made payable to East Caledonia
Mines company, and addressed to the
secretary at Wallace, Idaho, we still
receive many checks made to the Sec
rotary personally. requiring double
endorsements. Also few address the
mine at Kellogg instead of the secre-
tary at Wallace, Idaho.
I'VE hope the new year will bring
East Caledonia into the list of pro-
ducers, to the profit of all the stock
holders"
Mr.. Whites Report.
Following is the report Of Rush J.
White, mining engineer in charge OF
the property, the officers and directors
of the company:
Il beg to advise that in accordance
with the plans indicated in my letter
Of October /, the shaft on your prop
erty Is being sunk and at this time
has reached a point 1856 feet below
carry the shaft % feet below the 600
foot level to provide room for skip
pocket and stump below that level.
sinking was started on the Sth OF
October and has gone ahead without
Interruption. Progress has been at
the rate Of 96R feet per month OF 30
days. believe that this Is record
seldom equalled for speed in shaft
sinking, considering the total number
Of men employed. There have been
u men all told employed at the mine,
working in three shifts; two men at
the bottom and one hoistman making
up the regular shift, with black
smith, timber Trainer and foreman in
addition.
The expense has been quite heavy.
The exact cost per foot can not be
computed until the work is finished,
but the indications are that 1t will be
somewhat less than the $50 per foot
estimated in the letter of october 1,
The labor cost to date, including sup
erintendence, has been $20.50 per foot.
Part of the expense incurred has
been for plant, including station pump
and motor, shaft equipment and drill
ing machines, which are part of the
permanent improvements and which
are paying for themselves every day
in lessened cost of operation. 1t is the
do so after the shaft is finished and
during all the subsequent work
1T is expected that the shaft will be
finished, the skip pocket cut, and
crosscWting begun before the first of
the year, The expense will go back
to normal VIXEN the shaft Is finished.
The ground penetrated in going
down has shown occasional streaks
and spots Of ore. They are not in the
position that the ore found above is
expected to occupy If 1t reaches the
600 level, but the occurrence is en-
couraging nevertheless.
There is. of course, nothing new to
report as to ore discoveries or devel-
opments, as all our attention, since
the last report, has been given to the
shaft. We still feel, however, that the
showings previously reported justify
the expense that has been incurred
and that will be incurred in opening
the 500 level"

GRAvEST0NE 200 YEARS OLD
Stands Over Burial Place of Col. John
Hathorne, One of Judges Who
Tried the Salem Witches.

A gravestone which is 200 years old
is one Of the things of historic inter
est which commands the attention of
sightseers TO Salem, Mass. II is the
gravestone of Col. John Hathorne, who
died May 10. 1717, and who was buried
in the Charter street burying ground in
Salem. Colonel Hawthorne was an an
ceStor Of the famous Nathaniel Haw-
thorne who is best known as the au-
thor of 1.-THE Scarlet Letter" The colo
mel was one of the judges who tried
the Salem witches. an incident which
Salemites are glad TO forget.
II will be noted that there is diff
ference in the spelling of the two Haw-
thornes. According to report. Natha-
mel, the author, disliked the odium
which was brought on the family by
reason OF the colonel's connection with
the witchcraft cases. Thereupon the
writer inserted "W'' In his name 10
"take out the sting" as he expressed il.
A rather hideous looking skull is
placed at the head of the gravestone,
although the design in itself Is artistic
enough.

Heaviest Gold Coin.

The United States has the distinc.
ton of coming the gold piece having
the greatest intrinsic value of any in
the world. This is the $40 double
eagle. Three coins of other countries
rank close to this In comparative
worth. These are the Argentine 20
peso piece, worth S19.94; the Colon
bian 20-peso piece, worth $3.50, and
the French 100-franc pieces, whose
value is 5000. The double-eagle is
not only intrinsically the most valua-
bic, but is likewise the heaviest gold
piece. weighing 1886 grammes. The
lightest precious metal coin is the s.
cent piece of the Netherlands, weigh
ing but 0.6S5 grammes. One would
have TO carry nearly so of these to
equal the weight of one double-eagle.

COUNTY BUILDING
PREY TO FLAMES
Fire Destroys Saloon at Cabin Branch
Bridge.

Fire of unknown origin last night
destroyed the saloon formerly operated
by Oscar Riehl at Cabin Branch
bridge, near Curtis Bay, this county
The loss will be about $4,000, partly
covered by insurance.
The structure was of frame and two
st cries high. AT the time of the fire
the re were nearly dozen men in the
place, and the flames were first noticed
com ing from a room in the rear of the
saloon by Peter Bell. An alarm was
sounded and residents of the section
responded to help form bucket bril-
gade. The Curtis Bay Volunteer Fire
Company responded later. The flames
spread so rapidly. however, that 1t
was impossible to check them. The
structure was burned to the ground.
Daniel Thompson, of Battery ave-
nue., Baltimore, was badly burned
about the hands while fighting the
FIRE. He was taken to the office of
DR.. Thomas B. Horton, of Curtis Bay,
and later sent to his home. Consid
cradle excitement was caused. during
the fire by the explosion of go gallons
of gasoline stored in the rear of the
saloon.

Kaiser Wilson"

A banner displayed at one of the
White House gates by a Woman's
Party suffrage picket addressed to
KAISER Wilson" was torn down

jeered and Kissed the suffrsgists for
several minutes. The bsnner was car
ried by Miss Lucy Burns, who figured
in several of the previous demonstra-
tions in front of the White House. IL
was inscribed:
Kaiser Wilson Have You forgot
ten your sympathy with the poor Ger
mans because they are not self-goy-
erned. Twenty million American wo-
men are not self-governed Take the
beam out of your own eye.
1t Immediately drew 9 crowd which
gave free voice to its indignation.

Burns. but James P. Delaney, a Navy

from the pole. shot out through the
crowd and up Pennsylvania avenue be-
fore anyone could touch him. He was
not pursued.

Where cocoanuts Grow.

Cocoanuts are one of the largest
money-making crops of the Philippine
islands. While they viii grow in al
most any province. there are localities
that are especially known for their
great nut production. There was until
recently no system for planting these
trees, as plantations were usually sold
after the trees were two and three
years old. The object was to get as
many trees on Il given area as was pos
sible to grow. These plantations were
then sold for so much tree. When
1t was seen that the trees would not
bear the quality of fruit they should.
more pains were taken in the planting
and some definite planting scheme adj
hered to. This has greatly increased
the size of the nut and the quality of
the meat.
