the Mississippi. writes NJ. F. Jefferdo
In Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
Afchafslaya river runs straight to the
tidewater Of the Gulf. a distance Of
about 100 miles, whereas, via the Mis-
sissippi river the distance from the
mouth Of the Red river to the Gulf Is
200 miles. The fall Of the Mississippi
river from the mouth Of the Red river
to the Gulf is about one-tenth Of u
foot per mile; of the Atchafslaya
about three-tenths Of a foot to the
mile.
The increase In velocity from the
mouth Of the Red river TO the Gulf vla
the Atchafalaya would probably lower
the grade line Of high water to two
tenths Of a foot per mile, which would
reduce the high.water line for that
point (mouth Of Red river), 20 feet or
more. This reduction In high-water
mark would probably extend as far
north as Memphis, or even Cairo; thus
II can be seen that the levee as now
built from Memphis to the Gulf would

probably 100 years or more.

Murray.
The Murray district is the oldest in
the Occur d'Alene and has been
known chiefly for its production of
gold. 1t includes the ground surround
ing the town of Murray on the north
fork of the Occur d'Alene river and is
reached through Enaville by
branch Of the O.-W. r. & N. Tho
country rock consists Of pre- Cambrian
sediments cut by intrusives. The chief
ore deposits are Veins in Prichard
slate. The erosion of the gold bearing
veins has resulted in the formation of
numerous placer deposits, and it was
these gold placers that first attracted
the attention Of prospectors to the
Occur d'Alene. During recent years
there has been very little activity in
the Murray district The placers have
been largely worked out and the re-
naming gold ores have proved too low
grade. During the past year the old
Golden Chest mine was reopened in
an attempt to mine the ore remaining
on the lower levels. The effort prov
ed unsuccessful so far as the gold was
concerned, but considerable quanti
ty Of rich tungsten ore, consisting of
scheelite in quartz, was found in cross
assures associated with the main vein
Of auriferous pyrite. considerable
quantity Of tungsten ore was also
found broken in the old slopes. This
ore was concentrated and shipped, but
the scheelite proved to be pockety and
, the mine has again become idle Dur
ing the past summer, following ex-
tensive explorations by churn drilling,
the Yukon Gold company has begun
the construction of large dredge to
work the gravel of some of the tribu-
taries of the North Fork The con-
struction Of this dredge is now well
under way. The preliminary drilling
is said to have demonstrated the ex-
istence of large area Of gold bearing
gravel. The Empire copper mine on
the Little North Fork of the Occur
d'Alene river near Enaville, and west
of the Kellogg Wardner district, has
been a continuous producer during the
past year. This mine was equipped
with a 150-ton mill, which, according
to reports, has recently been enlarged.
The vein is opened by three adits and
| long ore shoots have been exposed on
several levels The ore is said to car
ny from to per cent copper.
The Outlook.
| With respect to the Occur d'Alene
region as whole, it may be said, in
summary, that the developments for
the past two years have been highly
satisfactory. While some of the big
rich ore shoots that have supplied so
much of the past production are rap
idly approaching exhaustion, new ore
bodies are being developed to take
their place, although some Of these
ores are more refractory. Not only
have there been important new dis
coveries of zinc ore, but some Of The
biggest and richest bodies of galena
ever known in the Occur d'Alene are
being mined at the present time The
great Importance of the Prichard slate
as an ore bearing horizon has been
demonstrated beyond doubt, and while
the ores found in this formation are
usually complex and low grade, they
will doubtless insure a considerable
extension to the productive life of the
region.

Beaver.

The Beaver district likewise has on
ly recently reached the production
stage. 1t has been known for some
time that ore deposits existed on Bea-
Yer and Carbon creeks and their trib-
utaries, but owing to the complexity
of these ores. and the absence of a
market for the impure concentrate,
the deposits have remained undevelop-
ed. Recently the Introduction of flo
tation and the general improvements
made In milling ores of this type, to-
gether with the construction of Gus
tom zinc plant by the Anaconda COM
pany to treat impure zinc concentrate
have made it possible to exploit these
ores at a profit. This district may be
most easily reached from the Murray
branch Of the O.-W. r. & N. During
the year a branch line of the O.-W. r.
& n. has been completed up Beaver
creek to Carbon station A spur Of
the railroad has been extended to the
Ray-Jefferson MILL The ore deposits
are similar to those of Pine creek.
The veins have been formed partly by
replacement of the sheared slate, and
partly by fissure filling. It is difficult
to determine the true walls of the
veins because Of several parallel slip
planes, which are frequently accom-
panied by much gouge. The ore oc-

The mines in the Burke (LaLande)
district are nearly all situated along
Canyon creek in the Burke canyon
which joins the south fork of the
Occur d'Alene river at the town of
Wallace. The ore deposits occur at
intervals along the canyon between
Wallace and Burke, the most import
ant being at Burke, which town is
well known from the fact that the ia
nous Hercules and Hecla mines are
there. The deposits consist of re-
placement veins occupying fault As
sures in Burke quartzite. and in their
main geological features are similar to
the type prevailing throughout the
Occur d'Alene region. The ore con-

We had somehow never thought OF
| DR. John G.. Seegers for the presl-
dency of Newberry college until we
saw that the board had elected him.
But the more we think about it the
more we are convinced that the
hoard has done the right thing. He's
the man, and we sincerely hope that
he will accept. He is an alumnus or
the college, and he has had expert
'ence. and he has had training, and he
has been a student, and he has brains,
and he has also that other very valu-
able thing, and needful in the presl-
dent Of an institution Ike Newberry,
common sense. He knows human ma
ture. and ne knows how to meet the
people, and how to deal with men and
women too. We hope he will accept
He was no aspirant for the position,
and from what we learn his election
was a surprise to him.
In fact, as we understand it, the
board was called to talk oyer the slt-
uation with a view Of appointing ?
committee to look around and nom
mate some suitable person for the
r!ace to he elected at the annual
meeting in June. And the election
OF Dr.. Seegers was a sort OF spon-
taneous combustion affair, and a
mighty good one.
Come along, John, We'll be very
e;ad to have you in New5erry, and
speaking for The Herald and News
we will do all we can to help you
in the work.
