hard luck for the past few months,
being a combination of high water
age, shortage of albor, and finally a
defective hoisting cable which forced
a total suspension of underground op-
erations. These have now been over
come and a considerable force is now
employed and the mill is running one
shift. These unavoidable circum-
stances came at time when the COM
pany was making rapid progress to-
ward paying off it's bonded debt and
getting on a profit earning basis. I'm
der these conditions the company
found it necessary to levy an assess
nent a. few weeks ago and Is con-
fronted with the necessity, as pointed
out by Mr.. Kern, of levying further
assessments to place the mine on a
productive basis. This turn in af-
fairs coming after long period Of
years devoted to persistent effort ex-
plains the willingness of those who
have carried the responsibility to shift
the burden to other shoulders. The
Hypotheek presents a problem quite
different from anything that has been
met in other mines of the district, and
while those who are relinquishing con-
troll are not lacking in confidence in
the ultimate value Of the property,
financial difficulties due to the war
are such that they desire to be re-
lieved of responsibility for its further
operation. 1t is believed that stock
holders generally will share this feel
ing and that large proportion of the
outstanding stock will be deposited
under the option agreement.
Continue Development.
Mr.. George, who takes over control
Of the company, is reputed to be a
man Of large financial resources. The
mine was given thorough examin-
alton by his engineer and plans out
| lined for it's further development. No
announcement has been made as to
what these plans include, but it is ex-
pected that the work Of carrying them
out will begin at an early date. While
he has until August Is to pay for the
stock, 1t is not believed that he will
wait until that time. as it is under
stood that the money is available i'm
mediately after the first Of May and
that he desires to get action as quick
| ly as possible.

JOHN 3. CAM ERON.
Pioneer Of Wallace Passes Away Last
Week in Seattle.

Floneer OF WaIace FaSses away Last
Week in Seattle.
After a lingering illness during the
past few years for which medical skill
failed to bring relief, John B. Cam
eron passed away last week in Seattle
at the age Of rs years. Friends of Mr..
Cameron who had visited him in re-
for his suffering would be found in
death. He suffered continually and
for the last year or more he had been
absolutely helpless. Mr.. Cameron
came to Montana in 1866, making the
trip with train of 1870 wagons from
Fort Leavenworth to Helena. The
trip was made notable by many ex-
citing experiences, being attacked by
Irdians on several occasions and sew
eral of the party were killed. The
subsequent years were spent in min
ing around Helena, Butte and Deer
Lodge. He was living at Walkerville,
suburb of Butte, when the lead mines
of the Coeur dAlene district began
attracting attention. He came to
Wallace in 1886. engaged in business
and gave considerable attention to
mining. In 1904 he retired from ac-
tive business and went to Seattle,
where he resided until his death. Mr..
Cameron was man Of sterling char
acter, unimpeachable honesty, gener-
Gus in his acts and opinions, and un-
swervingly loyal to his friends and his
country

is to take up the old stock and issue
in exchange for it an equal number of

old company are now ready to proceed

this effect having been mailed to the

subscriptions without regard to their
amount. In this competition only one
subscription will be counted from
single family. Boys who won medals
in the former drives and who are sue
cessful this time will be given a bar
from which the medal will be suspend
ed. Two Wallace boys won medals in
the first drive. 1t is understood that
the scouts are going into the cam
paign with earnestness and enthusi-
asm and it Is expected that they will
succeed in making a substantial add-
ton to the total for this county. There
are still many people who have not
subscribed who may be induced to do
so by the Boy Scouts, and probably
many more who would be disposed to
increase their subscriptions. The Boy
Scouts will find them.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
IN THE HONOR ROLL
PROUD DISTINCTION.

Only six national banks in Idaho
subscribed 10 per cent or more of
their gross resources for the first
Liberty loan. Two of these are in
Shoshone county, the First Nation
al Of Wallace and the First Nation
al of Kellogg. This is an honor
that is shared by the people of the
Coeur d'Alene district as we'll as
the banks which have earned this
honorable distinction. 1t suggests
at once the financial strength of
the institutions and the loyal and
liberal support they are giving the
government in winning the war.
In this connection the following
congratulatory letter from the pres
ident of the Fidelity National bank,
of Spokane, is significant of the
high standing attained by the Wal
lace and Kellogg banks in the es-
timation of outside bankers:
"Mr. M. ]. Flohr, vice presi-
dent, First National bank,
Wallace, Idaho.
Dear Mr.. Flohr The New
York Annalist has just publish
ed an honor roll of national
banks that subscribed 10 per
cent or more Of their gross re-
sources for the first Liberty
loan bond issue last June.
II note in the list but six
banks in Idaho: your bank and
the First National of Kellogg
being the only ones from North
Idaho, the others being at
Nampa, Meridian, American
Falls and Twin Falls.
1.-The Fidelity National is the
only bank in Spokane thus hon
ored, Davenport National is the
only other Eastern Washing
ton bank and Dexter Horton is
the only Seattle bank. There
are only ten in the whole state
of Washington. l feel that this
Is an honor of which to be
proud. l am very glad to note
that you have this distinction.

Directors Levy Assessment Of 2 Cents
Per Share.

Reports from the Ambergris indi-
cate that the recent strike shows
steady improvement as the drift con-
tinues west. How far 1t is from a
point under the shaft is not known,
but it is regarded probable that the
shoot will prove continuous until that
point is reached and probably beyond.
At meeting of the directors last
week an assessment of cents per
share was levied, which will bring
$4,000 into the treasury. The COM

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of selling foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor Is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
Stntes food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grafters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practiced on greater
scale than ever before In the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.
