MINING NOTES

The Idaho-Continental Mining Co.
shipped 20 carloads of lead ore in
July, but did not begin to ship until
July II, according to Richard Schacht,
secretary-treasurer Three carloads
had been shipped up to the time in
August when the last report was re-
ceived. There are 1000 tons of con-
centrated ore on the dump.
An expenditure of $150,O00 is pro-
posed by the Lulens-Hazel Mining
Co. in the installation of mining ma
chinery, a concentrating plant and
a hydro-electric power plant, accord
ing to report from Libby, Mont. The
mining plant will be used in develop
ing the property and handling the out
put at greater depth. The concen-
trating plant will ultimately have a
capacity of $50 tons daily.
The production of spelter in the
first quarter of 1918 was 1850 tons,
as compared with 151, 456 in the first
quarter of 1917, according to the U. S.
geological survey. This is a decrease
of 1885 tons. The production of
grade A was 24,615 tons, as compared
with 1896 in the first quarter of
1917 an increase of 6,917 tons. There
has been an increase of stock spelter
in spite of the decrease of production.
The Tamarack and Custer CONSOLE
dated Mining Co. has declared a divi-
dend of $106,575, according to Wal.
lace, Idaho, report. This is at the
rate of cents share. Payment will
be made on August 81 to stockholders
of record on August II.
Seek Gold in Idaho.
The school of mines geological sur.
vey in its investigation of the war min
eral resources of the state has decided
to include gold in the Its of war min
erals.
1t is well known that the three great
undeveloped gold areas of western
America are Alaska, Plumas county
Cal, and central Idaho. In connection
with the stimulation of gold produc-
ton from the dast named region, it is
planned to reconnaissance survey of the
gold resources of the area which in
cludes Elk City, Dixie, Buffalo Hump
ORC Grande, Pierce City and adjoining
camps. This will not in any sense be
a precise geological survey but rather
a general investigation from strict
ly economic point of view of the pos
sibilities for gold production from this
area.
The extent and, so far as possible
the value of developed as well as po
tential ore bodies will be estimated
and ore treatment problems will be
studied on the ground with a view to
their investigation in detail in coop
Grafton with the u. S. bureau of mines
at the school of mines laboratories.

HAVE A WEED FREE FARM

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
Far more important than to
kill weeds is to avoid having
weeds to kill. In other words,
the farmer should aim to pre-
vent rather than cure the evil.
A farm can be made almost free
Of weeds by strictly observing
the following principles: ~
Prevent weeds from going to
seed on the farm; (2) prevent
weed seeds being brought to the
farm; and (3) in the case of
perennial weeds, prevent them
from making top growth and
thus finally starve out the I'M
derground parts.

Marshfield, Ore-An extraordinar-
lily heavy run of chinook salmon has
been in evidence in the Rogue river re-
Gently. Some 80 boats working for
the MacLeay and Seaborg canneries
are taking from 80 to so fish each

few being lighter than 80 pounds. The
fishermen are making the highest
earnings on record.

When fed in the dry lot, common
custom is to give the pigs all the feed
they will clean up in reasonably
short time. For pig weighing is to
80 pounds live weight, full ration for
one day is about six pounds of grain
for each 100 pounds of weight; for
larger pigs the ration will continue
to grow smaller in proportion to weight
until the 800 to 350-pound pig will only
consume daily ration equal to about
"a per cent Of his weight.

Tax on All JeWeIry.

The>luxury proposal was submitted
by a subcommittee. 1t levies 10 per
cent tax on all jewelry, to be paid by
the manufacturer, producer or import
err. Covering about 1900 items of jew
elry, it supplants the present law of 3
per cent on the manufacturer, produ-
Ger and importer. Ten per cent tax is
also levied on art objects, pianos and
pipe organs, furs. cash registers, type
writer's, photographs and tapestries.
In view of the wide public demand
for tax on the price paid for certain
other articles not deemed luxuries by
reason of their nature, above a certain
price, the subcommittee proposed, and
the full committee accepted a limited
number of other groups of such ar
ticles with suggested basic prices paid
for tmem by the consumer above
which 20 per cent tax is to be assess
ed against the seller to the consum-
err or user, or to a person not for re-
sale"

Alaska Women Pretty.

A visitor remarked about the good
looks of Alaska women, and the fact
that they dress with taste, says the
Anchorage Times. Of course, our
northern women are pretty. Why
shouldn't they be? They enjoy abso-
lute+y pure air, drink water as fresh
as that from a mountain spring, get
plenty of exercise, and take an active
part in community affairs They are
cosmopolitan the same as the men are,
and we'll read and we'll informed. AS
every one knows, there is nothing so
beautiful as good health. 1t is JOY
even to see an Alaskan girl swinging
along with a free, firm tread instead
of the mincing step of her sister in
the states, who gives the impression
she is stepping on eggs. The Alaska
girl looks you squarely in the eye,
gives you frank handclasp and is
sure of herself at all times.

Very Large Moy Family.

MOy Hee, proprietor of a chop suey
restaurant in st. Paul, recently re-
turned from a seven months soJourn'
in China relates an exchange, where:
he visited his aged mother and 275,OOO
relatives, all members of the great
Moy family, at Sun Ming in the prov
ince of Canton While he was there
Moy's son was married and Moy en-.
tertained 235 guests at a big hotel
there for three days, spending $4,000
for entertainment. From inquiries
made at Sun Nings MOy learned that
his 275,OOO relatives were not prop
erly provided with educational faclll-
ties. While many of them were
wealthy, a large number could not af-
ford the $12 year child for educa-
ton. Moy has undertaken to raise
the sum of 100000 to build schools
and employ teachers in that vicinity.
He collected some of the fund from
rich Chinese members of the Moy fam
ily. and Moy Back Hin, Chinese consul
at Portland, Ore, contributed $25OOO
to the fund.

Evolution of Wheeled Vehicles.

Emperors and kings WED with each
other in the effort to outshine and out
class one another, and through this
rivalry we note substantial advance
ment. In 1850 A. D. it is said there
were only three coaches in Paris, and
within the next century we find the
feudal lords throughout continental
Europe supplying themselves with the
most extravagant and luxurious Of

$4,000 each.
The artists. skill was employed,

FROISSART AND HIS HISTORY
Sir John CIever!y Wiggled Out Data
From the Various Errant
knights of 1857.

Years ago, when ] was a small boy,
came to bracket Sir John Froissart
with Tacitus, personages who recorded
dull historical facts in needlessly diff
ficult language. Of the two l dlSllked
FrOissart the more, for he wrote in ar
chaic Norman French, to which the
dictionary often offered no clew, says
q writer in the London Times.
Of course I have recast these opin-
ions, but so many years have passed.
since I read and really enjoyed the
cheerful Hainaulter's ambling through
the history of his times that his book
and it's theme were dim in my memory.
What remained vivid enough was the
recollection Of his method, for seldom
has historian gathered material IN
such wise. Bidden by his master,
Count Robert de Namur, to write a
record of "the wars young John
Froissart saddled gray nag, Whlstled
up useful white hound, which could
always be trusted to add q hare or
a rabbit to the pot, and set off ON his
travels.
On the road he would fall in with
knight or man at arms, and worm out
of such q chance companion the stories
of their prOwess. At evening, in hos
telry, monastery or feudal castle, in re-
turn for his own lively yarns, he would
be told others. Bit by bit he built up
Il wonderfully accurate narrative or
events in Flanders, III northern France
and in England. He wrote his history
in 1857.
