has been giving his attention to
the development and equipment Of the
Cleveland mine, about IS miles from
Springdale, Wash. A mill of rs tons
capacity has been constructed under
his direction which began operating
dump of good milling ore, estimated
at 10000 tons, as well as extensive ore
reserves developed in the mine. The
ore is a combination of lead and zinc
in about equal parts and also carries
silver value which varies from few
ounces to several hundred to the ton.
The large amount of milling ore on
the dump accumulated years ago when
considerable high grade was shipped
by former owners, and it will enable
the present company to place the pro-
perty on productive basis with a
comparatively small outlay.

prospect that this distance may soon
be reduced to mile and a half

and the directors postponed the cleo
ton of officers until a meeting to be
held later at that place. Two propo-
sitions are being considered by the
company, the acceptance of either one
of which will insure an early resump-
ton of work at the property. One Is
for the sale of the property outright
and the other is for the sale Of control.
Mr.. Morbeck is now in Spokane in
with the parties negotiating
for the property. The main develop
ment on the Blue Star is shaft 500
feet deep. At 300 feet crosscut to
the vein and a drift has disclosed con-
siderable ore. At 500 feet a crosscut Is
being run and probably has $50 feet to
go to the vein Considerable ore has
also been developed in q tunnel level.

Old Copy of the Wardner-News Recalls
Life in Occur d. Alenes Thirty Years Ago

william Fable, of Fables hotel, has
a copy of the Wardner News of April
g. 1887, which is a most interesting
relic of early days on the South Fork
of the Occur d'Alene, as this section
was commonly called at that time. The
paper contains a record of local events
that sounds strange after thirty years.
The News was the first paper publish
ed on the South Fork and it still lives
under the double name of Wardner
Kellogg News. In June, 1857, the
Wallace Free Press made it's appear
ance, the publishers being j. L. and A.
]. Dunn. The Wardner News was es-
tablished by W. E. McKelvey, well
known printer and newspaper man
who died a good many years ago. The
news and advertising columns of this
old issue are full of interest to old
time citizens of the district, recalling
names long forgotten and names of
others who are still active factors in
the life of the district. A few items
compiled from this old paper are here
reproduced:
