Mashed Potato Dishes.

Most housekeepers know how de-
licious mashed potatoes can be made
by beating them until light with hot
milk. butter or other good fat, and salt
and pepper, four tablespoonfuls of hot
milk and one teaspoonful of the fat
for every medium-sized potato. To
make the mashed potatoes little "dif-
ferent," they can be turned into a po-
tato souffle by adding the beaten white
of eggs (two eggs to six medium-sized
potatoes). piling lightly in baking
dish and baking in the oven till brown.
Grated cheese added to this soufne Is
good.

JACK WAITE.

Chris Grimsmoe, superintendent Of
the Jack Waite, was in the city this
morning. He reports the wagon road
from the mine to the railroad station
completed and in readiness for haul
ing ore, of which there is probably 500
tons in the bins and chutes ready for
shipment and large amount avail
able in the mine. The county is now
building a bridge across Prichard
creek, between Waite station and
Prichard, and when that is completed
the entire road will be open for traffic
from the Jack Waite mine to the rail
road at the mouth of Beaver creek, q
distance Of about fifteen miles. The
company hopes to avoid this long haul
with the last few days that the rail.
road company would soon rebuild the
bridge across the North Fork and ex-
tend it's line from Beaver creek tc
Prichard. This would materially re-
duce the haul for Jack Waite ore, and
while accommodating the mining com
pany, the extension would also serve
the interests of the lumbermen il
that section and other mining com
panies along Prichard creek
The meeting of Jack Waite stock
holders scheduled to be held at tht
mine last Tuesday was postponed.

YAMES II. TAYLOR, Of this city,
was elected chairman OF the re-

Shoshone county at the meeting
held last Tuesday, to fill the vacancy
caused by the removal of J. e. Jones,
of Kellogg, to his ranch near Plum

is no novice in political affairs and
his election means that the republi-

patriotism of the people The COM
mittee was unanimous in the choice
of Mr.. Taylor and 1t Is foregone
conclusion that he will have the cor
dial support of the party in all parts
of the county. Winning the war Is Of
course the first consideration and for
that reason most of the brass band
and fire works features that usually
characterize the campaign will be
eliminated. At the same time repub-

PATRICK BURKE AND
BUTTE ASSOCIATES TAKE
OVER BEAR TOP LEASE.

The Henrietta Development COM
pany has sold its bond and lease
on the Bear Top mine. above Muir
ray, to Patrick Burke and his Butte
associates. an initial payment be-
ing made this morning, the Hen
rietta company retaining all ore
in the bins and broken down in
the mine. Mr. Burke, accompanied
by Frank Curran, former mayor of
the Copper City, who represents
the Butte parties, went to the Bear
Top this morning. The chief stock
holders in the Henrietta Develop
~ment company are f. II. Skeels, S.
l.. Shonts, William Beaudry, Ben
Harmon and II. ]. Hull. Under the
direction of Mr.. Harmon the Bear
Top was about to begin ore ship
ments. Upon the departure of Mr..
Harmon recently to enter the army,
management Of the property was to
have been taken over by Mr. Skeels
as soon as he could be relieved
from other business connections.
The consideration for the bond and
lease held by the Henrietta is $20,-
900. Mr.. Burke already has the
ORC Fino adjoining the Bear Top,
upon which there is mill which
will be used jointly by the two
properties.

FEDERAL COMPANY CLOSE
DOWN THE LAST CHANCE
GOES TO BUNKER HILL.

Frederick Burbidge. manager of
the Federal Mining & Smelling
company, stated this morning that
the Last Chance, one of the fam
Gus bonanza mines of Wardner. is
being closed down and will be
abandoned so far as the Federal
company is concerned when the ore
on hand Is cleaned up. The mine
and Sweeny mill will then pass
under the ownership of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan company. This is in
accordance with the terms of an
agreement entered into between the
Federal and Bunker Hill in the
settlement Of litigation in 1910,
which provided that when the Last
Chance failed to show a profit for
six consecutive months. the mine
and mill would be turned over to
the Bunker Hin and Sullivan. The
statement filed by the Federal COM
pany with the county assessor COW
ering the operations of the Last
Chance during the year 1917 showed
net profit of $54,SSi,39 From
this it was evident that the opera
ton of the mine by the Federal
company was nearing the end, and
the announcement that the mine
is closing down and that the prop
erty will be taken over by the

newed demand was anticipated
when war was declared by the
United States. This failed to ap-
pear. No intimation of the prob
able requirements of the govern
ment could be obtained, but many
mines continued to operate at q
loss in the hope of relief. When
at last the government took ac-
tion the prices were fixed for the
higher grades only, thus justifying
the foresight Of producers who had
persisted in preparing to make
electrolytic zinc. Recently mod
crate demand for grade c has de-
veloped, but the outlook for heavy
consumption of spelter by the gov
ernment Is not encouraging. Con-
sequently interest is being taken
in developing new uses for the
metal. The field for sheet zinc to
replace corrugated iron is attrac-
tive. At some mills preparations
have been made to produce this
material on a greatly enlarged
scale. From Joplin comes word
of a concerted effort by a group of
zinc producers to stimulate inven-
ton by offering special rewards
for the disclosure of new applica-
tions. Three prizes of $4,000 each
are proposed for the first three
practicable discoveries reported to
the committee. Following these
will be other prizes graduated
from 5000 for a new use that will
consume $4,000 tons of zinc per
year down to $4,000 for new ap-
plication involving a demand for
10000 tons. The originator OF the
contest is Mr.. r. c. Shoemaker,
president of the United Producers

PR|CHARD PIPE LINE is
SOLD TO CUNNINGHAM
RELIC OF EARLY DAY PLACER
MINING PROVES TO BE A
VALUABLE ASSET.

The old pipe line which for more
than a quarter of a century has been
a familiar sight along Prichard creek
for some six miles above and below
but for purpose quite different from
that originally intended and far re-
moved from it's present location. The
pipe is owned by the Occur d'Alene
Mining company, which was organiz
ed many years ago by the late Barry
N. Hillard and which acquired prac-
tically all the placer ground along
Prichard creek. The company Is rep
resented here by County Commission
er John f. Murphy. The placer ground
has been taken over by the Yukon
Gold company which is now success
fully working it by dredging. The
pipe line, however remained the prop
erty of the original company, being an
asset of very doubtful value until re-
Gently, when Mr.. Murphy seems to
have unexpectedly found purchaser
for mile of it.
Clarence Cunningham the Buyer.
In these war days it is very diff
cult to get iron pipe at any price, and
so when Clarence Cunningham, who
has grown immensely rich in mining
operations near Sandon. B. c., found it
necessary to have about a mile of large
iron pipe, he recalled this old line on
Prchard creek and Immediately made
known his desire to secure part of
it to Mr.. Murphy. Investigation
showed that the pipe, although long
exposed to the weather. was in good
condition The deal was closed and
soon the work Of taking it up and
shipping it to Mr. Cunningham will
begin.
Put in Thirty Years Ago.
This old pipe line was put in by
Jesse Coulter for the Coeur d'Alene-
Spokane Placer Mining company, of
which he was the organizer and man
ager in 1887. 1t was big undertaking
and is said to have cost $4,000. Pipe
was supplied by the Murray Hard
ware company, parent of the present
Coeur d Alene Hardware & Foundry
company of this city. The pipe is %
inches in diameter and was manufact-
ured in Chicago, the late w. W. Hart,
manager of the hardware company,
going to Chicago to personally sup
ervise the work. The pipe line was
designed to work several rich bars be-
low Murray and Dream, Missoula,
Buckskin and other gulches rich in
placer gold. 1t proved successful, but
not to the extent its promoters an
ticipated, as the pressure was not sif-
ficient to reach the old channel high
up the gulches.
Hydraulic Elevator.
After years of idleness the pipe line
was again utilized by Barry N. Hill
ard after he secured the ground along
Prichard His plan was to work the
ground by hydraulic elevator, and
water again was turned into the pipe
line to provide the power. The at
tempt proved Improbable and was
abandoned. No further use was made
Of the pipe line, and the ground upon
which it rests was acquired about
three years ago by the Yukon Gold
company. The dredge installed by
this company was first floated in the
pond formed by the pit excavated by
the Hillard hydraulic elevator.

ENEMY ALIENS DROPPED
BY MINING ENGINEERS
INSTITUTE WILL HAIR
BOR NO ADHERENTS OF
THE KAISER.

At a meeting of the board of dir
ectors of the American Institute Of
Mining Engineers, which has just been
held in New York, it was decided to
drop all enemy aliens from member
ship.
Craftsmanship of Sidney j. Jennings,
president of the Institute was attend
ed by twenty-three of the twenty five
directors, among them the chairman
and four members of the naval con-
sulting board
The action of the board of direc-
tors is said to affect the status of
twenty one German scientists and one
Austrian professor who held either
honorary or active membership in the
association. The Institute now has a
membership of about $500 in this
country and there are more than 1000
members abroad.
The Resolution.
The resolution calling for the eXpul-
sion of the enemy members was as
follows:
Resolved: That all honorary mem
bers, associates and junior members
who are enemy aliens residing in en-
emy countries be dropped from mem
bership in the American Institute of
Mining Engineers and their names be
and they are stricken from the rolls
Resolved: That the membership
committee be requested to advise this
board of directors of the names of all
above mentioned persons and in addi-
tion the names of all other enemy
aliens members of the Institute, and
be IL further
Resolved: That in the case of each
of said latter class this board shall
consider and act upon the question of
expulsion after ascertaining their atti-
tude toward the government of the
United States.
Resolved: That publicity of these
resolutions be given to members
through the local sections and by pub
lication in the bulletin as well as
through the press.

Good Progress Being Made in Cross

Ed Ehrenberg came up from Spo-
kane the first of the week, accom-
panied by his little boy, and is spend
ing several days looking after the
work on the Flynn group which is
under bond to the Senator Mining
company, of which he is the manager
to cut the Flynn vein and
he reports very satisfactory progress
The ground that is being explored Is
regarded among the most promising
undeveloped property in the district.
Mr.. Ehrenberg has a son in the avia-
ton corps who is in training at San
Antonio, Texas. He has been flying
for six months and a recent event in
dicates that he is one of the most ac-
complished birdmen among the thous-
ands who are in training at the big
camp. A special exhibition flight was
given for the benefit of the Red Cross
during the recent drive. twenty-one
aviators being selected for the big
event Young Mr.. Ehrenberg was one
who received this mark of distinction.
The twenty-one aircrafts formed as a
squadron, only fifteen feet apart. and
.skillfully executed many maneouvers
for edification of the assembled multi
tude. Since entering the service the
young man has met one mishap, fal-
ling about 100 feet and sustaining a
broken nose. The damage was quick
ly repaired in the hospital and he re-
turned to the hazardous service with
spirit undaunted, and is now eager for
a brush with the boches on the French
front.

TITO find new uses for zinc as a
means of absorbing the over
production and thus stabilize the
market to an extent that will in
sure a fair profit is the task that is
receiving the earnest attention of the
large zinc producers and zinc smelt-
ing concerns of the country. The
plan originated among the zinc op-
orators of Missouri, Kansas and Ok
lahoma, who realize that increased
demand must be created for the metal
to save the industry from prolonged
depression. AS an inducement for the
discovery of new uses for zinc, three
prizes of $4,000 each have been Of
fered for the first three practical new
uses for zinc reported to the COM
mittee Another prize Of $4,000 will
be given for a. new use that will con-
sumo $4,000 tons of zinc per year and
$4,000 for one that will consume 10000
tons. 1t is expected that the action
of these producers will be followed by
similar action by zinc producers in
other parts of the country, and will
probably result in combined effort by
all in Offering still greater induce
ments that will awaken a widespread
interest in the discovery of more
extensive use of the metal. This is
a matter that is of the greatest i'm
portance to the Occur d'Alene district
and no doubt will receive the support
and cooperation of local producers of
zinc. The output of zine from this
district has already assumed large
proportions, but is still small com
pared with what it will be under more
favorable conditions for marketing the
metal.

The Mining and Scientific Press. OF
San Francisco, has this comment on
the zinc situation.
Zinc producers have suffered
keen disappointment. Few OF the
metals felt so promptly the early
demand arising from military
needs: the prices swept from ID
per cent below normal to 29O per
cent above in the interval from
July, 1914, to June. 1915, and they
remained at high level almost to
the moment of our entering the
war The industry expanded pro-
portionally, and mines were devel-
oped to an unwonted extent. The

FOREST FIRES RAGING
IN IDAHO AND MONTANA
SHORTAGE OF MEN TO FIGHT
FIRES MAKES THE DANGER
MORE MENAClNG.

1t is estimated by officials of the
forest service at MissOula that nearly
five hundred men are already engaged
in fighting forest fires in Montana and
northern Idaho. Large fires are burn
ing on the Flathead, Gallatin and Hell
ena national forests in Montana, and
in the ST. Joe region in Idaho. The
location of the fires indicates that
dangerous conditions exists all over
the district
May Be Worse Than 1917.
Indications all point to a fire season
even worse than that in 1917, since it
is starting fully month earlier. Last
year there We're thousands of idle
men who could be secured for fire
fighting; this year every man is en-
gagged in some productive work.
Councils Of Defense Helping.
In many places county councils of
defense are joining the federal and
state forest officers in an active cam
paign against carelessness with fire
near timbered areas The movement
for preventing fires from starting in
stead of putting them out after they
have started is rapidly spreading and
seems to be the only practical sou-
tion to the difficulty.
