MOVE IL CARS OF CONCENTRATES
Idaho Continental Has Many Tons Of
Ore Ready for Transportation

Frank Mccullough, of Spokane, one
of the stockholders of the Idaho-Con-
tinental mine at Hickman, recently
visited the property and in an inter-
view given out to the Spokesman-Re-
view, had the following to say:
Seventeen carloads of concentrated
lead and silver ore have been moved
since hauling began recently. / es-
innate there are 40 carloads of con-
centrates accumulated for shipment"
These figures are in harmony with
those given by Manager Hickman,
June 18th. At that time Mr.. Klock-
mann said the production between
April goth and June 9th amounted to
400 tons, having an average value of
500 to the ton or $4,000. 1t appears
that as much more has been produced
since.
The rate was 2S tons daily except
in the first days of milling operations
Motor trucks, purchased by the COM
pany. are being used in hauling the
product between the mill and Porthiil
distance of 26 miles and several con-
tractors are hauling ore on milage
per ton rate.

AUTO ACCIDENT
PROVES FATAL
ONE MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER
INJURED WHEN AUTO ROLLS
DOWN PLATO HILL
DIED SATURDAY AT HOSPITAL
Injured Man Never Regained Con-
seriousness After Accident

Christ Petersen, carpenter of Est
uray, Sask., died at the Boomers Ferry
hospital Saturday night of injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident that
occurred about one o'clock Friday af-
ternoon at the top of the Plato hill,
when the auto in which he was rid
ing left the road and rolled down the
hillside for about rs feet.
Petersen was on his way TO Van
couver, Wash, where he expected to
go to work in the government ship
yards. John A. Fitzpatrick, a railway
fireman, accompanied him and the two
were travelling overland in Pederson's
Ford car. Fitzpatrick was driving
at the time of the accident and at
tempted to turn out to pass the team
of Frank Rabdau which was coming
up the hill and which. Mr.. Rabdau had
driven in close to the bank of the hill
side. The front wheels of the auto
swerved in the soft sand at the side
of the road and in the twinkling of
an eye the car pitched head-long over
the side of the road and tipped, rolling
some rs feet until it lodged against a
stump Both Petersen and Kilpat-
rick were thrown out of the car but
Fitzpatrick was not hurt with the ex-
ception of a bruised shoulder Ped
erson was cut about the head with
glass from the windshield and was
either hit by the car or else thrown
against a stump or rock in such a
manner as to cause conclusion of the
brain. He was unconscious when
Fitzpatrick reached his side and never
regained consciousness. Osmond
Plato was a witness of the accident
and with Mr. Rabdau and Mr.. Kilpat-
rick carried the injured man up the
hill to the road and brought him to
the hospital.
The car was not badly wrecked con-
sidering the distance it rolled. Two
wheels we're smashed, the tenders
bent and the windshield broken.
Petersen has a brother in Virginia
Mimi, and in response to a wire he
advised Undertaken Stookey to con
duct the funeral here. The deceased
is a member of the l. o. o. F. lodge a
either Weyburn or Edmonton, AL.
The funeral of Petersen was helt
at nine o'clock this morning at the
Stookey Undertaking Parlors and were
conducted under the auspices of the
local l. o. O. F. lodge. the Rev. U. S
Crowder preaching the funeral ser
mon. Interment was had in the Bon
ners Ferry cemetery.

A call for the fire department was
