St. JAMES MINING CO.
INSTALL COMPRESSOR
WILL BE TAKEN TO PROPERTY
THIS WEEk-MANAGEMENT
OF MRS. JAMES

The st. James Mining company is
preparing to resume active develop
ment. The company has purchased q
| Sullivan air compressor which Is now
at the depot waiting the arrival of an
electric motor, when both will be
taken to property Of the company on
Sunset peak. They will be taken up
! by way of the Tamarack & Custer,
the st. James being about two miles
beyond. 1t is probable that consider
able snow will have to be shoveled
along this part of the road, as there
is little travel over it and the snow
is reported about six feet deep. Three
men are now at the st. James pre-
pairing the building for the installation
of the compressor and motor. The
transmission line of the Washington
Water Power company passes across
the st. James ground so that there
will be no delay and little expense in
making the power connection.
Joins Clark Property.
The st. James lies east of and has
common end lines with the Sunset, the
famous property owned by Senator
Clark, of Butte. Mrs. Theresa James,
president and manager of the ST.
James says the Sunset vein has been
definitely located on the surface of her
ground, and that crosscut has been
run which, it Is believed, Is now near
the vein. This Is at depth of about
600 feet, and when the compressor Is
in working order it Is proposed to eX-
tend this crosscut to the vein and ex-
plore it extensively by drifting, and
Mrs. James expressed great confidence
in developing large ore shoot. Her
confidence Is based upon the mineral
showing on the surface, and particu-
larly on the showing exposed in shaft
on the vein from which good ore was
taken. Her confidence is further
strengthened by the reports of much
ore being developed in the Sunset
mine adjoining.
Only Woman Promoter.
Mrs. James Is the widow of William
L. James, one of the early day pros
pectors of the district, who was the
discoverer and locator Of the ground
owned by the St. James company
Upon the death of her husband few
years ago she undertook the task oi
financing the company and directing
the work of development. That she
has been successful is evidenced b!
the large amount of underground worl
accomplished and the plans she Is now
carrying out for equipping the prop
erty with the view to speeding up de-
velopment. In the field Of mining
promotion and management, she ha
the distinction of being the onl!
woman credited to the Occur d'Alen
district.

BOARD BACKS UP.
Rescinds Resolution Directed Against
Casualty Companies.

Quickly following the decision of
Judge Mccarthy, of Boise, holding
that the industrial accident board had
no right to bar the Aetna Casualty &
Surety company and the Associated
Employers Reciprocal Insurance COM
panies from writing bonds and guar
anty contracts under the provisions
of the workmen's compensation law,
the Industrial accident board passed
resolution "abrogating and rescind-
ing the former action and declaring
that said companies ARE hereby rein
stated in all the rights formerly en-
joyed by them as though said resolu-
tion of october 16 had not been pass
ed" 1t was further resolved that the
board notify said companies and each
of them that the board does not in
tend to appeal said case"

Price of Powder Cut
So and 81 Per CWt.

Following the announcement by
manufacturers OF high explosives
OF decline in the price of DOW
der for mining purposes, the
Wallace Powder company has
adopted the following schedule on
Dupont and Giant explosives for
delivery from the company's
Wallace magazines, effective De-
cemoer 13: 40 per cent Dupont
l.. F. gelatin and Giant V. L. f.
gelatin, 5O-pound cases, per 100
pounds in ton lots, $26; less than
ton lots, $2650. 60 per cent Du-
pont L. F. gelatin and Giant V.
l.. F. gelatin, 50-pound cases on
ly, per 100 pounds in ton lots,
$S1; less than ton lots, $3.50. II
per cent stumping powder. So
pound cases only, per 100 pounds
in ton lots, $19.25; less than ton
lots, $19.75. These figures repre-
sent a reduction of 81 per 100
pounds on 40 per cent powder and
81 on 60 per cent.
Before the war the prevailing
price of 40 per cent powder was
$14.50 per 100 pounds and of so
per cent it was $3.50. Whether
this level will again be reached
remains to be seen, but that
there will be further cuts in the
prices of explosives seems reas-
onably certain. This is the view
taken by Frank A. Venable, of
the Wallace Powder company,
which practically controls the
distribution of explosives in this
district. The large explosive
manufacturers not only held war
contracts from the United States
government, but also from the
Canadian, British and French
governments, all of which have
now been cancelled. Thus the
consumption of powder has been
suddenly limited to the require
ments Of peace, and as the read
justment in all commodity prices
and in wages progresses toward
a normal basis, the prices of eX-
plosives will naturally drop to
lower levels.

Henry Green and Sam Mccoy were
in the city Tuesday, having come
over from the property Of the Tyler
Mining company, situated few miles
from Burke on the Montana side Of
the divide. They have just complet,
ed contract to drift 100 feet on the

contract will be let to them for thu
same distance They report a very
satisfactory showing in the face O
the drift, one that justifles the expec

drift is extended much further. Stool
in the company is largely owned b,

ANNUAL LABOR MAY
Be SUSPENDED 1873
Sentimentin in Mining
District is Fa-
vorable
SENATE RESOLUTION
Reasons That Seem to Justify
It.-Should be Limited to
Next Year

~ XEMPTION of mining claims
L. from annual assessment work
next year is a question that
is now the subject of much
discussion, and so far as the Miner
has been able to determine the SEN
timent in the Coeur d'Alene district
appears to he in favor of the eXemp-
tion. Some of the reasons that
prompted congress to pass the exemp-
tion resolutions for the years 1917 and
1918 no longer exist. but others will
probably be just as pressing during
the coming year. In the first instance
il was the desire of the government
to have all men engaged in produc-
tive labor that would contribute to
winning the war, and later there was
shortage of labor that made it diff
cult to get men to perform the annual
labor. These reasons cannot of course
be urged in support of the exemption
next year, but there are other reacons
which still prevail and which would
appear to justify continuing the
exemption for another year. All in
dications point to continuation of
the prevailing high wages and the
high cost of all kinds of mining sup
plies during the coming year; not as
high as they are now, but so high that
the expenditure of 500 in permanent
,ft1in al In Di,,a
make a very small showing, while the
actual expenditure will be excessive
on account of the high cost of sup
plies. The year 1919 will be charac-
terized by the transition from war to
peace, and while it is hoped and be-
ieved that much will be accomplished
toward restoring the country to a nor
NAL business basis, it will necessarily
be a period of industrial uncertainty
during which the people may well he
spared the performance of tasks that
drain the purse while contributing lit
tie to the general welfare of the COM
munity. Annual assessment work at
best in normal times is little more than
an evidence of good faith required by
the government from claimant OF
government land. AS a factor in the
opening up and development of mines
the performance of this work is in
consequential, fact that is so well
recognized that an influential element
in the mining fraternity Is even now
urging that it be abolished and a cash
payment be made in lieu thereof. The
Miner does not favor this change, put
ii does favor the suspension of the
law for the year 1919 under the same
conditions provided by resolution OF
congress as applied to the years 1917
and 1918.

Resolution Now Pending.

A resolution suspending assessment
work until the 31st of December OF
the year following the close OF the war
was passed by the senate last June.
Upon being sent to the house 1t was
referred to the committee on mines
and mining where 1t awaits action. IL
this resolution should pass the house
as it is now framed, 1t would propapis
be construed to include both the years
1919 and 1920, for strictly speaking we
are still at war with Germany ana
Austria. The armistice has been ex-
tended until about the middle Oh
January and technically a state of war
will exist until the treaty of peace is
signed. 1t is not likely that there VIII
be condition that will warrant sus-
pension of the assessment law lor
1920 If, however, it was held that the
war was concluded with the signing OF
the armistice, then the senate resolu-
ton as it stands would fit the case'
that is, the law would be suspended
until December 81, 1919. In order te
avoid any question of Interpretation
the resolution should be changed u
apply specifically to the year 1919
The Senate Resolution.
Following Is the essention part o

ate and is now in the hands or th'

THE NEED OF CRITICISM

President Wilson directed At.
torney General Gregory to make
thorough investigation into the
charges that millions of dollars
of government money have been
wasted in the construction of the
fabricating steel shipyard at Hog
Island, Pa. just outside of Phila
dclphia.''
The outstanding fact is that
the construction Of the yard has
cost the government $4,000 900
to $50.000,000 to date. Original
estimates for the construction wer.
sd 100000. This was developed
by the inquiry Of the Senate com
mlttrc on commerce.
THE American International
corporation owns Hog Island and
receives from the government a
rental for its USE
The essence Of the contra It
was that the government employ
the corporation 70 luild the yard
and 100 ships, Itself paying Tie
cost OF doing SO and ultimately
giving the corporation fixed fee
per vessel"
