LIVE WIRE LOUIE"
ONE SPEED DEMON
GOLDFIELD'S PIONEER NEWS
AGENT SHOWS OATMAN
HOW TO MOVE

Live Wire Louis Polin lived
up to his reputation last Sunday,
when he returned from a two
months trip to Goldfield and east
ern points and decided to move in
to large quarters. The little store
under the Arizona Hotel building
looked very small and cramped after
seeing the great metrolitan empor-
iums of Chicago. Denver. San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles.
What made it look especially
small was the huge stock of holiday
goods, toys, Christmas stationery,
novelties, souvenirs and specialties
that Louis had ordered and that
Just commenced to arrive about the
time he did.
So one look at the old store was
all that was needed to convince
Louie that he would have to move.
With him to decide is to act. The
next "a hours were the busiest he
ever put in. He first walked across
the street to the store formerly &C.
cupied by Freedheim's and made
a deal to take over Freedheim's
lease.
Then he had a sign painted an
nouncing his removal. Next he
secured the camp for suitable fix
lures. Despite the fact that it was
Sunday he managed to secure show
cases and fixtures sufficient to equip
the store and then the work OF
moving both the old and the new
stock was taken up in earnest.
The result was that on Monday
morning Polin Bros. store was OPEN
ed up at the regular schedule time.

Mine OUTPUT
SETS new
RECORD
ADVANCE IN PRICE CAUSES
GREAT PROFITS FROM
COPPER YIELD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - Three
billion dollars is the value put Oh
the 1916 output of mines, in an
estimate made to Secretary Lane by
the geological survey. The enor-
nous production was accompanied
by the largest profits the mining
industry of the country ever mas
known, copper alone netting about
$3OO,0 900.
Production, it is estimated, has
run at least 25 per cen ahead of
1915.
The copper output was the SEN
sation of the year in the mining
world. At an average price of 81
cents a pound, the 1916 production
had a value of $520,000,0 900 com
pared with $243,00O,0 600 the year
before. The profits were the great
est ever known in the metal. Prices
averaged slightly more than -
cents as against about II cents in
1915.
Arizona led the states in copper
production, mining 1900, 900
pounds against 432, 1000, 900 pounds
the year before. Montana came
second with $50, 900 pounds and
Michigan was third with 269, O00,-
pounds, which was almost twice the
1915 production. Tennessee alone
failed to increase it's yield.
The 1916 domestic output of
quicksilver was valued at S3,643,O 900
the greatest in quantity since 1904,
and the greatest in value since
1875. High prices stimulated I'M
usual activity in the western
states.
The value of spelter from United
States ore in 1916, was $500
coo. The output of zinc increased
$4,000 tons, making a new record
for the metal. Lead also shows in
creases, the SIS 900 output rep
~resenting a gain of SO per cent.
Every western state shows a big
mining gain. AriZona's output
alone shows an increase of $780,
4 600 600; Utah and Montana combin-
I ed show another 800, 900, 600. Ten
mines in Arizona paid $4,000, 900
in dividends during the year. Utah,
Montana, Nevada and Idaho COM
bined paid $66, 1000. 900 in dividends.
Alaska also had it's be.t mining
year, contributing a total value OF
$4,000, 900, a SO percent gain
over 1915.

COMO CON. MINE
DOES BIG WORK
PREPARED TO DEVELOP
THROUGH WINTER

The unwatering of the main shaft
of the Consolidated mines at Como
is progressing rapidly, according to
H. c. Cutler, general manager of
the property, who was in Reno
Thursday making arrangements to
move his family to Como for the
holidays.
1.-THE pumping which is being
done by a 10 horsepower tripleX
electric pump and a No. z GAINESVILLE
sinker will be continued to the
500 foot level" says Mr.. Vutler,
be started with machine drills. The
drift east will be run to open up
the downward extension of the
large ore-shoots that we're partially
stopped on the upper levels. These
Slopes have yielded nearly half a
million dollars to date and we ex-
pect to top the downward extension
OF the shoots which will contain
rich ore.
while the pumping has been go
ny Oh, the 10 anu ZUO-lOOU levers
have been cleaned out, retimbered
where necessary, and the slopes put
in shape for the extraction of mill
ore. The mill, which is an all
shining cyanide plant will not be
started this winter but everything
will be in readiness for spring.
1--WE are doing some work on
the Lucky Sunday group where We
have an ore-shoot II feet wide that
will mill $40 a ton. This has only
been developed for a depth of so
feet and a length of $50 feet on the
surface.
Supplies of all kinds, necessary
for the operation OF the mine for
five months are now in the camp
and we shall continue the develop
ment work all winter employing
- to Is men. The geological con
dition of the mine, including the
faults have been carefully and
thoroughly worked out. - Reno

Invents transportation System

Walter f. Trent, a Reno mining
engineer, has been granted a patent
on a complete system of transDor-
tation whereby runners take the
place of wheels and glide over mo-
tor-operated rollers located at short
intervals along the roadway. One
of the features of the invention con-
sists of utilizing the energy devel-
oped by a train in running down
grade under the force of gravity.
Such a train of cars increases the
speed of the rollers and causes the
motors to run as generators, thus
giving the power back to the line.

HEROIC

TASK OF REPAIRING DAMAGE
by RECENT STORM WAS
HERCULEAN
CBy Robert Scruby)

The night of Dec. % from two to
three feet of snow and sleet fell in
the Owens valley, accompanied by a
gale. and all lines-power. tele-
phone and telegraph-were wrecked,
cutting off connection in all direc-
tions. Two transformers and one
generator were burned out in the
plants. All available men n
stock from all systems and all that
could be picked up in the county
were put to work Immediately.
Both Nevada power lines were
completely wrecked across the en-
tire river bottom. Poles were
broken off as high as 10 feet above
the ground and wires were a tan
gled mass five inches in diameter,
covered with sleet. All repair work
was done in weather reaching 10
degrees below zero, with the men
working day and night until eX-
hausted. wading in snow and icy
water to their waists.
Mr.. Cats, superintendent of trans
mission lines. and Mr.. Newell
crossed the summit of the White
mountains. fighting their way
against the storm, requiring 1S1 y
hours to make rs miles. On their
way they picked up two Big Pine
ranchers and took them to the toll
house for treatment for frozen feet
and hands.

Roberts, fought his way toward the
summit. lost consciousness and was
rescued by Mr.. Metcalf, a prospec-
tor. Wilson had a hand frozen and
may lose his thumb, but notwith-
standing this he continued his trip
on foot over the summit and fol-
lowed the line to Laws, about IA
miles, taking Is hours.
In addition, several miles of the
power lines serving southern Califor-
mia We're wrecked and service will
no be restored for from 10 days to
W. weeks. Mr.. Poole, chief engi-
neer, left Riverside by auto as
soon as trouble was reported and
fought his way through the storm
to within 80 miles of Big Pine,
where he was forced to leave his
auto and make the balance of the
trip by train. He brought in a
crew of extra linemen and his pres
ence and help materially FASTENED
the completion of the repair work.
In Goldfield and Tonopah the wa
ter coils in the large transformers,
which carry the loads for the mines
and the light customers, were
thought to be frozen on account OF
the low temperature and a force of
eight men spent three days at the
Goldfield s~ubstation, with a large
force at Tonopah also, removing the
covers from these transformers and
thawing them out. They completed
this work at / a. m. Friday in
Goldfield and the transformers were
tested out and put in service at
10:45 a. m.
Until that time the load was car

to be broken in 20 places in a To-
nopah transformer. The other two

MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU

Joseph H. Owen is dead. He was
one of the earlier residents Of Bling.
ham county, and he has been in his
grave these Is years. After his
death it was necessary to probate
his estate, and a notice to that effect
was published in a Blackfoot news
paper, The Bingham County Demo
crat. 1t was the duty Of the pub
Usher to furnish proof that the
publication was made. and to attach
to the affidavit, a clipping taken from
the newspaper, showing just what
was said in the notice.
II this was done the document
was lost, and in 1917 it became
necessary for Owens heirs to exhibit
that particular affidavit or they
would suffer loss in business mat
tiers. The publisher had closed up
his affairs and left the country, and
the attorney handling the Owen case
reasoned that If the notice had been
published in The Idaho Republican
1t would be easy to get duplicate
proof because of their system of
keeping duplicate and triplicate files
for just such emergencies. But the
notice in question was published be-
fore The Idaho Republican was in
existence, and there seemed no
chance that it could render any aid
in the matter, yet the attorney wrote
to the editor of The Republican and
told the names, and dates of publ
cation, ad asked for suggestions as
to how to get the needed proof.
When the editor of The Republic
can got the letter In hand he walked
down into the basement where there
is a storage vault, and in ten min
utes he had five copies of the old
newspaper containing the identical
notice concerning the estate of
Joseph H. Owen deceased. In an
other ten minutes clipping had
been made and attached to the regu-
lar form for making such proofs,
the acknowledgment was made be-
fore notary and the document
mailed to the attorney for the heirs.
When you have a legal notice to
publish, see that 1t is published by
a newspaper that takes all the steps
necessary to protect you and your
heirs. and then in addition to that,
does it all in duplicate and places
the proof in a fire-proof vault so you
or your heirs can send for 1t in 25
or SO years and get it without delay
or expense. Your title to property
of some kind may be clouded by
some defect in the publication or
proof of notice of ditch assessment,
notice of school meeting or sale Of
school bonds, notice in bankruptcy,
notice of meeting Of creditors, sale
of real estate, a summons, sheriff's
sale, land notice, estray notice, fore
closure notice, notice of petition OF
any kind, a tax notice, q city ordin-
ance or any kind of court notice.
When you are deciding what paper
to have your notices published in,
remember the special service and
protection provided by The Idaho
Republican. tt.
