coEUR D'ALENE cANNERY.
important Enterprise Financed b
James r. Callahan.

Report of the condition of the Occur
d'Alene Canning company made to the
Occur d'Alene chamber of commerce
last Monday indicates that 1t Is in a
very prosperous condition. This en-
terprise owes its success to the finan-
cial support given 1t by James F..
Callahan, of this city, whose desire
was to help build up home market
for the farmers and fruit growers Of
north Idaho. Stock sold in the can
merry amounted to $62,429. or this
amount $50,d99 is held by Wallace
people. Since August II, 1917, the
company has turned out 190,35S cans
OF vegetables, fruit. etc. and $4,000
gallons of vinegar, and has wiped out
all Indebtedness. Commenting upon
the successful record of the company
and the great Importance of the can
merry, the Occur d'Alene Press says:
"Coeur d'Alene was fortunate in in
teresting J, F, Callahan in the cannery
and changing the old brewery, mon
ument Of failure. into paying busi-
ness institution. Mr.. Callahan has in
vested a large sum Of money and has
made II pay. He is anxious for every
business man in the city and every
farmer in the district to own stock in
the business; not that he wants the
money as he does not need it, but In
order that all are financially interested
and aid in making 1t success"

MINING REoIMEN
Fine Opportunity to See Early Service
in France.


In France.
Men who are physically fit and who
have had practical experience in un-
derground mining, also blacksmiths,
tool sharpeners and machinists are
wanted for service with the 9th En-
gineers, popularity called the Mining
Regiment" Men Of draft age may
apply to the local board for immedi-
ate enlistment In this regiment, and
If accepted will be sent to Camp
Meade, Maryland. at once. Miles An
derson, formerly employed at the Sue
cess mine, has been accepted for this
service and will leave for Camp
Meade Saturday.
The Mining Regiment" has attract
ed much interest from mining men all
over the country and 1t is believed
that it is destined to play a highly
important part in harrassing and
humblng the Huns. American engi-
neers have already distinguished
themselves on the battle line, and the
men who are responding to the call OF
the 9th are of the same class. These
men are being trained to fight as
well as to perform the work for which
they are being especially selected. and
their services are so urgently needed
that they will be taken to the front at
the earliest possible date.
AS an evidence Of the interest the
mining men are taking In this regi-
ment, 1t may be mentioned that the
Engineering and Mining Journal has
undertaken to raise comfort fund"
for the use of the boys who enter this
Organization Subscriptions to this
fund now amount to $685., and the
Journal expects it to reach 100000.

New York SUM

Molasses contains many chemicals
especially valuable at this time. At
Baltimore potash is being produced
from molasses. At the same plant gly-
cerine and special acetate are being
extracted from 1t, and after all the de-
sired products are taken out the resi-
due is pressed into cakes and sold for
cattle feed.
Formerly great quantities Of mo-
lasses were thrown away as waste.
The process Of extracting potash from
molasses was discovered by manu-
featuring concern in New Orleans and
proved to be such a profitable opera
ton that several plants other than the
one in Baltimore have installed equip
ment suitable for its production.

An old intermediate is being extend

The mine was shut down early in

in good shape and the shaft will be
in running order next Monday. About
COO men are employed in the Morning

Drifting East and West on tho 600.
Foot Level.
The crosscut on the 900 level of the
East Caledonia cut the vein in about
so feet from the shaft. The vein was
not anticipated in so short distance
and for that reason the crosscut was
extended about 200 feet In order to
be sure that 1t was the vein sought.
The management being satisfied on
that point, prosecuting was discontin-
ued and drifting Is now in progress
both east and west. A little galena
is found in the vein and its general
character is very satisfactory, but a
distance must be run in
both directions to get under the ore
