WALLACE BOY IN FRANCE
A SOLDIER OF THE SEA
GIVES VIVID IMPRESSIONS AND
SHOWS FINE FIGHT.
ING SPIRIT.

Jesse Freeman this week received
an interesting letter from Herschel V.
Edwards, a we'll known Wallace young
man who enlisted in the marines a
year ago and is now helping to add
new glory to the already glorious rec
sea-" The letter is largely personal,
but some of his comments on his sur
roundings and experience are of gen.
eral interest and give an insight to
the splendid spirit that possesses our
boys in France. Some extracts from
the letter follow:
France Beautiful, But Too Slow.
well. Jesse, we can thank heaven
that we are Americans and live in q
real country. France is the most
beautiful country to look over one
could ever find. l guess, but the way
things are carried on looks funny tc
one who is used to seeing things done
in a hurry.

SILVER RAN GE.
Company Driving Crosscut on West
Fork of Placer Creek.

Some two years ago e. M. Burt, a
landscape and marine artist, came in
to the district to reproduce with his
brush some of the scenic grandeur
for which the Coeur d'Alene noun
tains are famous. Having given con-
siderable attention to mining else
where, he naturally devoted his per-
iods of recreation to prospecting.
Float on the north side of the west
fork of Placer creek attracted his at
tention and he determined to find the
ledge from which 1t came. In this he
was successful, and by a series Of
open cuts he definitely determined its
course westward until he came to the
east end line of the Chicago Boston.
Claims were located covering the
ground from the west fork to the
Lake gulch mine. Mr.. Burt then or
ganized the Silver Range Mining &
Milling company to take over the
group. Last summer a tunnel was
run from the west fork of Placer on
what was believed to he the ledge
The ledge is mostly iron and quartz
and justifles exploration, being now
in about 100 feet Upon coming up
this spring Mr.. Burt ran out the
course of the vein more carefully and
came to the conclusion that the main
ledge is about 200 feet south of the
$50 ,,pon which he was working He
Is therefore now driving crosscut to
the main vein and will confine his
efforts to exploring It, leaving the
first ledge for further development
later. Mr.. Burt is giving his persona
attention to the property, having beer
icined by his wife and son who vii

Another property he visited was
the Friday group. formerly known as

scheelite and considerable ore was
shipped from it several years ago
The present showing is not so good
as that at the other two properties
but there is ample encouragement for
its development.

DEPOSITS Of TUNGSTEN
INTEREST GOVERNMENT
REPRESENTATIVE GREATLY I'M.
PRESSED WITH TWO NORTH
SIDE PROPERTIES.

Prospect for tungsten on the North
Side. That is the advice Professor
d. c. Livingston gives to prospectors
and miners who want to serve their
country and at the same time find a
mine that will provide an independent
fortune. Professor Livingston re-
turned from Murray and other points
on the North Side last Monday even =
| ing, where he had been for the past
week investigating the tungsten de-
posits. He is the head Of the geologi-
cal department of the Idaho school OF
mines and he is working in conjunc-
ton with the United States geological
survey in behalf of the government
in quest of tungsten, of which the
government is in great need. He is
also on the lookout for other metals,
including manganese, molybdenite,
quicksilver, chromium and other min
erals for which there is a pressing
government demand, but he is maxi
ing a special effort to find CONNER
quite enthusiastic with the showings
he found on the North ide. He and
his wife and son were at the Samuels
Monday night. They left by motor
car Tuesday morning for their home
in Moscow. From there Professor
Livingston will visit Lemhi, Custer,
Blaine and other counties in central
and south Idaho where there Is evi-
dence of tungsten. He expects to
spend the entire summer in this work,
and it is probable that his reports
will be followed by active government
interest in the production of tungsten
in Idaho.
Promising Tungsten Showinss.
There are at least two discoveries
of tungsten or scheeite on the North
Side which greatly impressed Profess
sor Livingston. One of these is on
Pony gulch. the discovery of Colonel
Chester T. Kennan, to which refer
ence has heretofore been made in this
paper. Nothing has been done to-
ward the development of this discov-
cry, but it is presumed that Colonel
Kennan has plans to that end which
will soon materialize. The ledge
where crosscut is probably 40 feet
wide and Professor Livingston states
that he estimates that Is feet next to
the foot wall will average or
per cent tungsten. The ore is schee.
lite and is intermingled with quartz
in lenses or punches, some Of then
several inches in thickness, the clear
ore running as high as 60 or 70 pei
cent in tungsten. He regards it as 6
remarkable showing and its further
development may prove the deposit
to be the most important in the west
In ophir GuIch.
Another deposit of which Professor
Livingston spoke with much enthusl
asm is in Ophir gulch, just below tn,
famous Mother lode, and only a shor
distance above Murray. This discov
cry was made and is owned by Mix
Melley, an old-time resident Of tn
North Side. This is also scheelit
and was found in a great diabas
dixie, and unlike other tungsten de
posits in that section, is not associ
ated with quartz. Professor Living
ston expressed surprise that this pro
Iperty was idle, for he said with

RICH COPPER PROPERTY
SPOKANE RESERVATION
MINING DISTRICT LITTLE KNOWN
WHICH HAS PROMISING
FUTURE.

A letter from James Keeth, of Spo-
kane, gives some interesting inform
alton on a mining property in which
he is interested on the Spokane Indian
reservation, section of which little
but which seems to possess mineral
resources of great merit and extent.
Mr. Keeth has long been interested in
mining in the Occur d'Aene district,
and is now large stockholder in the
Coeur d'Alene Champion and the Blue
Ribbon mining companies, both situat-
ed above Burke. over a mile of
underground work has been done on
these two properties, and while con-
ditions are most favorable, ore Of
commercial value has not been devel-
oped. Owing to shortage of men and
war prices, work has been discontin-
ued for the present on the Champion
and is continued only in small way
on the Blue Ribbon
Mining on Reservation.
Mr.. Keeth and his associates seem
to have found copper property OF
great promise, Ion the reservation,
called the O-Lu-Lim, and readers of
the Miner will be interested in what
he says regarding it and also regard
ing other mining properties on the
reservation. He says:
you may be interested in knowing
that the Spokane Indian reservation
was opened to mining year or so
ago through the efforts of Congress-
man Dill, and although practically un-
known in mining way, promises to
come forth with two or three produc-
ers. The district is in the extreme
south end of Stevens county, Wash
ington On the O-Lo-Lim CIndian
name meaning big copper or rich cop
perl we have sunk a shaft 100 feet,
with a drift from the bottom of 1t 90
feet long. In doing this work, without
any stopping whatever we have ship
ped $50 tons of ore running from to
10 per cent copper as hand sorted,
besides an accumulation of milling
ore. The work has been done in the
last few months. Were the property
in your district it would attract a lot
of attention. Being where 1t is we
have to make a real mine out of it to
secure any recognition. However, 1t
certainly looks like the making of one
1.-TWO other properties in the dis
trict, which is not large, are also
making good. One is high grade lead
silver and the other in tungsten (wolf-
ramite).

take charge of the development Of oul
property and know you have them In
your district"

NATIONAL WILL SINK
W|NzE' FROM 1900 LEVEL
LARGE BLOCK OF ORE ABOVE
1900 is NOW BEING MINED
-OTHER WORK.

Reports from the National are quite
encouraging. While definite figures
are not at hand, it is known that a
substantial profit is being earned by
the company and the outlook for the
future is very favorable. The ore
during the past few months has been
taken mainly from the 1900 level, and
also from the 1900. The ore from the
Slopes above these levels is now near
ing exhaustion and from a former
statement from the management it
was believed that the mine would sus-
pend operations when this was ac-
complished. This was evidently err
roneous in view of present operations
at the mine. Within the last week
or two quite a number of miners have
been put on and they are engaged in
stopping the ore above the 400 level,
where there is a back of practically
200 feet
Sink From 1900.
Another interesting development
will be on the 1900. Here it is pro-
posed to sink a winze on the ore to
whatever depth seems justified by the
showing disclosed 1t is the opinion
o. some who have made a study of
the National that this work will show
an improved grade of ore as depth is
gained, and in any event the showing
disclosed will be watched with much
interest. 1t is also understood to be
west on this level and it is possible
that this may make an important ad-
dition to the resources of the mine.

ing the heaviest taxpayers in the
county must bear the brunt of these
special taxes. The most remarka Bile
thing of it is, that although here are
where the roads are most needed,
there is not one mile of concrete
pavement in either township. 1t
would seem that with the high cost
of building and the slowness of con-
struction at the present time that it
would be we'll to wait until conditions
were little more favorable for bull
ding.
And then there is a more import
ant version of the affair A good
graveled road need not be torn up
to build a concrete road. Take your
road records as to cost of mainten-
ance of certain roads and those that
cost much more than others be con-
GREETED first. In plain, put the road

of the grab or political method so
long in vogue in this county"
