Jumped Thirty-FOot Ditch

st. Louis.-Phil Faustman and
Glenn White, while returning from
Alma, Sunday, in a livery rig from
Spooner's livery barn, might have
been seriously injured when the front
wheels became detached from the
buggy, throwing the boys over the
dashboard and frightening the horse:
The animal ran across a beet field
and meadow and in trying to jumy
thirty-foot ditch, fell. Mr.. Spooner
did not find it until Monday morning
and although a veterinarian was call
ed the horse lived only about an hour
afterwards. The accident was due
to nobody's fault in particular, the
boys were driving reasonably slow.

$7,OOO,OOO,O 100000

Do we comprehend what the ex-
penditure of this vast sum of money
in the United States means? 1t means
$1,000 for every man, woman and
child or $4,000 for every man and
his family. 1t means that every man
who desires to reap any of the bene-
fits to be derived from the expendi-
ture of this enormous sum must get
busy and utilize every means at his
command. Buried money never in
creased in value and the man who
boards what he now has will miss this
great opportunity to multiply his
present wealth. Don't listen to
calamity howlers; do all you can for
your country and you will be reward
ed with increased wealth.
Statisticians tell us that Canada,
with a population of only 100000
has sent 100000 men, one-twelfth of
its entire population, to the front and
yet business and social conditions were
never better The laboring classes
have more money than ever before,
working conditions are improved and
everyone is prospecting. They are not
starving or thinking of it; then why
should this Great United States be-
come panic-stricken at the thought of
entering the war?
The one thing necessary is that we
increase the food supply-"Do Your
Bit for Your Country" by planting
every available space in food mater
ials to be eaten next winter. You will
help your country and yourself.

Hastings.-The joy ride OF young
Gard Bennett and his companions
Monday night in an auto taken from
his fathers garage eliminated sud-
denly on North Broadway. The ma,
chine driven at high rate of speed
came from the east, along by the
brickyard; this is a narrow street
and very uneven. AS the machine
reached Broadway the attempt to-
turn south without slackening of the
speed caused the machine to slew and
in attempting to right it it reversed
the skidding, and as the nose OF the
car came to right angle with the
road the rear of the car skidded to
the left and the body of the car
struck an elm tree about eight inches
through breaking the tree over and
making complete wreck of the car;
the car sliding on past the tree ten
to twelve feet, young Bennett was
picked up badly Jared, bruised and
bleeding.

Not Believed that Anaconda Company
Planning Another Electrolytic Zinc Plant

that the company contemplates build
ing a. plant elsewhere. Cheap electric
power is the first essential to electro
lytic zinc reduction, and the Anacon-
da has this to the limit at Great Falls
through the Montana Power company
which it controls. Again the Milwau-
kee railroad reaches directly or indi-
rectly every zinc mining district of
the northwest and the big financial
interests that control the Milwaukee
also dominate the Anaconda company,
hence the Anaconda people derive a
profit from hauling their own ore. The
great capacity Of the Great Falls
plant and the splendid metallurgical
organization enables the company to
handle zinc ores at less cost than in
a smaller plant. Thus the Great Falls
plant makes a profit on refining and
marketing the ores, profit on the
power it consumes and profit on the
hauling Of it's ores to it's own plant.
Under these circumstances it is not
likely to establish a plant where the
conditions are less favorable.

The fact that the Washington Wa
ter Power company has entered into
a contract to furnish electric power to
a recently organized power company
in which officers of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company are the dom
inant factors has led to a report that
the Anaconda company contemplates
establishing an electrolytic zinc refin-
ery at some point in the vicinity OF
Spokane or in north Idaho. A more
likely theory is that the contracted
power is for the use of the Milwaukee,
which is planning to electrify its line
west from Avery, for the Anaconda
and Milwaukee companies are known
to be closely affiliated. The Anaconda
company has just completed a great
electrolytic plant at Great Falls for
the treatment of zinc ores from lts
own mines and is seeking contracts
for the product of other zinc mines OF
the northwest, including the Occur
d,Alene district where ii already has
a zinc producer in the Douglas. An
analysis of the situation at Great
Falls does not bear out the theory

TERRIBLE EDITH.
Ore From North Side Property Being
Hauled to Railroad.

Ore From North Side Property Being
Hauled to Railroad.
Frmo parties recently from Murray
1t is learned that ore is being hauled
from the Terrible Edith to the rail-
road for shipment, about 40 or so tons
now being on the dump and the
amount being steadily increased. A
gasoline compressor has recently been
installed and the showing in the mine
is reported to be steadily improving.
Quite large amount of, ore has been
shipped from the property in past
years, both lead and zinc. One car Of
Terrible Edith lead ore shipped sew
eral years ago is believed to hold the
record in lead value being above 80
per cent. This was taken from the
upper tunnel. In recent years ship
ments have been made from the slopes
of the lower tunnel, where zinc pre-
dominates. The work now Is being
done under the direction Of Wash
Snyder, who owns little more than
half of the property. Other owners
are James Wood, of Murray, Lyman
Wood of this city, the Wood estate,
and Featherstone & Fox, of this city.
The Terrible Edith is near Littlefeld,
a short distance above Murray, and
about a mile and a half from the rail-
road.

ORE BELOW MOO LEVEL
IN HYPOTHEEk SHAFT
SHOWS STEADY IMPROVEMENT
AS DEPTH is GAINED
LARGE FORCE.

Yesterday the shaft from the 100
level of the Hypotheek was reported
down 80 feet Almost Immediately
upon starting sinking considerable
carbonate ore was encountered and
this seems to be gradually changing
to sulphide, the ore now being largely
galena. The amount of ore varies,
coming in punches, but in the aggre-
gate shows steady increase as depth
is gained. The ore is of excellent
grade.
The Hypotheek mill is running
steadily at capacity, turning out from
Is to 20 tons of concentrates per day.
In addition to this from to tons of
crude ore is taken from the sorting
belt, making a total of from 20 to 2S
tons of shipping product daily.
Large Force Employed.
In all departments the Hypotheek
company is now employing IS men.
Sinking from the 100 level added a
considerable number of men. In ad-
dition to the regular mine and mill
force the company is now running the
sawmill which gives employment tc
quite a large number both at the mill
and in getting out logs. The mill is
urning out mining timbers and build
ing lumber for the construction Of a
lew dry house.
No difficulty is now being experienc-
ed in getting cars for ore shipments
The ore is hauled to the loading spur
at the mouth of Pine creek.

FLYNN GROUP COMPANY.
CLOSE IMPORTANT DEAL
NEGOTIATIONS PENDlNG-GREAT
GROUP MAY SOON BE
DEVELOPED.

While no definite Information has
been given out on the subject, it may
be stated on authority that negotia-
tions are in progress between the Of
ficers of the Flynn Group Mining COM
pany and representatives of large cap
ital which will probably soon result in
closing a deal of unusual importance,
bringing into the district new capital
and adding another strong company in
the development of the mineral re-
sources. The Flynn group has long
been regarded as one of the big prop
ositions awaiting exploitation, con-
sisting of a compact group of 16
claims closing the gap between the
Star and Morning near Mullan, and
the Frisco on Canyon creek, and ef-
fectually covering the great mineral
zone that passes through the two Sec
tions While the owners of the Flynn
group have accomplished considerable
in the way of showing up the property
it is essentially a proposition that ap-
peals to a company strong financially
and promises rich reward in return
for extensive development. However
there has been one serious obstacle in
the way of turning the property and
that has now been overcome through
the efforts of John Hayes, president
of the Flynn Group company and
Joseph r. Whelan, secretary, The OBJ
stacle was an undivided half interest
in one claim, the Iron Silver, situ-
ated in the heart of the group and Civ
ing unmistakable evidence of the
great ledge passing through it. This
interest Is owned by Tim Mccarthy
and Mrs. Margaret Flynn, who have
heretofore declined to enter into a
deal for the sale of the property.
Big Deal Pending.
This difficulty has now been over
come, these parties having decided
and agreed to place their interest in
harmony with the other owners of the
Flynn group. With this out of the
way much confidence is felt that the
deal which has been penang Ior some
time win be closed within the next
few weeks and that the development
of this great and promising group will
at once be undertaken on a large and
comprehensive scale.
The ownership of the Flynn group is
in, few hands. All have long realized
the great prospective value of the
property and have held their interest
through weary years. and it is a
pleasure to state that they now seem
in line to receive the reward they
have so well earned. The principal
owners of the Flynn group are John
Hayes, Joseph f. Whelan, James j.
hCronin, John Malone, Tim Mccarthy,
Mrs. Margaret Flynn, Mrs. Franklin

SQUARE DEAL COMPANY
CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT
POINT TO LARGE
BODY OF oRE-coMPANY
ELECTS OFFICERS.

Recent work on the Square Deal has
attracted considerable attention to
that property, and the belief prevails
among those who have inspected it
that the chances of finding a large
body of lead ore@ are more favorable
than formerly entertained. For prob
ably 200 feet the crosscut has passed
through great zone of quartz more
or less broken, the numerous seams
and crevices uniformly showing crys-
tallized lead and some oxidized ore.
A contract to extend the crosscut 60
feet has just been completed, and
within the last few feet considerable
galena has been encountered in intru-
sions of deep blue quartzite almost
the color of lead The completion of
the contract was marked by the ap-
pearance Of a diabase dixie following
practically the course of the big ledge,
and apparently the same that was en-
countered in the tunnel 800 feet above
The appearance of galena quickly fol-
lowed by the dixie has intensified in
terest in the property and arrange
ments have been made to continue de-
velopment.

would be in position to get the entire
haul to the smelter and with at least
an equal chance to transfer the oul-
lion to the refinery in the east.
Unless the intimate traffic relations
between the Milwaukee and the O.-W'
r. & N. are such that the former is
obligated to remain out of this field,
the situation certainly warrants the
belief that the Milwaukee VIII yet
close the gap between this city and

Meeting of Stockholders.

At the annual meeting of stockhold-
ers of the Square Deal company held
in Coeur d'Alene last Monday plans
for continuing work on the property
were thoroughly discussed. An assess
ment was levied and it was decided
to have an engineer make a report
and recommend plans for further de-
velopment. 1t is probable that the
crosscut will be extended through the
dixie, when a drift will be started on
the side that appears most favorable.
The large amount of crystallized lead
that has been found on this level and
that above gives strong evidence Of a
large ore body and the company now
proposes to begin a systematic effort
to find it.
The following officers and directors
were elected: President, Boyd Hamil-
ton, of Coeur dAlene; vice president,
E. V. Boughton, of Coeur d'Alene;
These with W. t. Stirling, of Walla
