meeting of the year yesterday after
noon at the Lincoln building with
thirty-eight present Miss Irene Ro'-
loson opened the program with Two
piano numbers, Caprice, by Schuett'
and Dance Negro, by Cyril Scott.
Miss Helwig gave very interesting
talk on the mental and moral develop
ment of the child and emphasized the
benefits of cooperation of the moth
ers and teachers to bring about this
development 1t was decided at the
business meeting, which followed,
that the members should knit for the
Red Cross at their meetings. Almost
all of the members already belong to
Red Cross auxiliaries and for that
reason it was not thought advisable
to form a separate auxiliary. The
election Of officers resulted as fol-
lows:
President-Mrs. Ed Patterson.
Vice president-Mrs. Louis Sells.
Secretary-Miss Carrie Raich.
Treasurer-Mrs. Z. J. Beard.

SUCCESS INVESTIGATION.

Investigation Of the books Of the
Success Mining company in pursuance
of the order of the supreme court in
the case of Franklin Pfirman VS.. Sue
cess, began last week and will prob
ably be completed the last of this week
or the first of next. The examination
of the books is being made by /. F..
Thomas, of Spokane, president of the
Commercial Accounting company. No
authorized information has been given
out as the result of the investigation
up to this time and will not be until
the report is ready for presentation to
the stockholders. 1t may be stated,
however, upon reliable information
that taking the period from January
1, this year, down to this time, the re-
port will show that the mine has been
operaed at small loss, while certain
will show profit. The report
will also show that the ore contract,
over which there has been such heated
compares favorably with
other zinc contracts and that its terms
are better than has been alleged.

NEW SUNSET LEAD.
Big and Promising Vein Opened on a
Small Fraction.

Small Fraction.
Jack Smith. prospector in the
Sunset section, and his partner, Oh
sen, may not occupy much space in
the sun so far as mining ground is
concerned, but what they have may
be enough to contain bonanza ore
body. They hold three small frac-
tions which aggregate hardly IL acres
occupying the space bounded by the
Nipsic, Idora and Amazon Manhattan.
But in this small area they have un-
covered vein 80 feet wide which Is
composed mainly of iron and quartz
with a liberal sprinkling of galena.
They have also crosscut 1t with two
tunnels, one about 35 feet in length
and the lower about rs feet, the last
one being started at the lowest possi-
BILE point on their ground. 1t is
possible that it may be the extension
of the Nipsic vein, but Mr.. Smith does
not think SO. 1t is described as a re-
markedly fine showing, and it is I'M
fortunate that the limited amount of
ground and it's location prevents
deeper development by tunnel. AS an
evidence of it's value 1t was reported
last night that Olsen had sold his one
third interest for $1,000 cash.

LIEUTENANT BERRY.
Son Of Conductor Berry Makes a Fine
Record in the Navy.

Most everybody in the Occur
'd'Alene district knows w. w. Berry
conductor on the Northern Pacific, and
running between this city and Mis-
soula, and will therefore find pleasure
in reading the following from the Mis-
soullan of recent date:
Among the reports of other Mis-
soula boys who are rising to promi-
hence In the military world comes that
of Howard Berry, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. w, Berry of this city, who has re-
Gently received his commission as a
senior lieutenant in the submarine
corps of the United States navy.
Lieutenant Berry is at present sta
toned at Long Beach, Cal, and holds
a commission on the submarine L-6, a
new type of submersible vessel being
tested at that city.
Berry has made a remarkable rec
ord in the navy since his appointment
to Annapolis in 1906. At that time he
was attending the preparatory school
Vi thS SeotS hllSi lslSu-
tenant Berrys graduation from the
naval academy in 1910 he was made
junior lieutenant on the F-4 and for
was transferred just before
that submarine went down in Homo
lulu harbor.
Commanding officer of the subma-
rine F-2. which assisted In the search
for the Inflated FLA was the next up
ward step made by the young lieu
tenant. Another coincidence which
proved that Berry was born under a
lucky star was the fact that he was at
one time wireless operator on the
cruiser Milwaukee, which is at present
aground off Eureka, Cal.
I'm his last letter Lieutenant Berry
reports that he expects to leave for
duty at Mare Island SOON"

LOOKOUT ROAD.
comnni ssioners of Mineral County Will
Build From East Side.

nissioners of Mineral County Will
Build From East Side.
Last week the commissioners of
Mineral county, Montana, made a
personal inspection of the proposed
road from Taft to Lookout pass with
the view to determining the feasibil-
ity and desirability of building it. 1t
is learned that they were both pleased
and surprised with the favorable grade
obtainable and the small cost of con-
struction. In fact, they were so fav-
orably impressed that it is announced
that Construction of the road will be-
gin within a few days. A preliminary
survey gives the grade at 4 per cent
between Borax and the summit and 2
per cent between Borax and Taft. The
commissioners of Mineral county are
evidently going to place the matter
squarely up to the commissioners on
this side of the divide, where only
two miles of road Is required which
could be built on grade not exceed
ing 4 per cent, thus eliminating the
heavy grade and high divide on the
present road.
