JACK WAITE HAUL ORE
TO MOUTH OF BEAVER
REPAIRING WAGON ROAD-oRE
AwAITINOsHlPMENT-A
MILL POSSIBLE.

The Jack Waite was hard hit by
the recent high water, but the COM
pany has become somewhat accustom-
ed to this sort of thing during the
past two years and is proceeding to
repair the damages with a spirit that
refuses to be depressed. Last winter
snowslides buried the road in numer-
Gus places and made an insurmount-
able barrier to ore shipments. This
difficulty had hardly been overcome
and traffic resumed than high water
in the spring again placed the road
out of commission for many weeks
Now the company is again recovering
| from the great flood of a few weeks
ago, which made channel of the
road and carried out eight or nine
bridges. The work Of rebuilding these
and reconstructing the road Is now in
progress, the company being assisted
to some extent by the county. 1t
will probably require the balance OF
this month to place the road in con-
dition for traffic. This information
was obtained from Chris Grimsmoe
superintendent of the Jack Waite, who
was in the city the first of the week
All work at the mine has been sus-
pended while the road is being re-
paired. A large amount of ore has
been broken down and the bins are
full awaiting shipment.
Haul to Beaver Creek.
Nothing will be done toward repair
ing the railroad above the mouth OF
Beaver creek until the Beaver creek
branch is open for traffic. This VIII
probably not be before the middle OF
March. But the management of the
Jack Waite will not wait for the rail-
road to be repaired up to Waite sta,
tion. but as soon as the wagon roac
is in shape 1t is proposed to begir
hauling ore to the railroad "at tht
, mouth of Beaver, which will increase
the haul about five miles and MAKE
the total distance about Is miles. Be
tween Waite station and Beaver ther'
, ere two bridges on the wagon roat
, washed out, one over Eagle and tn
other over Prichard creek, and whel
. these are restored the road will be Il

PROPERTIES ON SUNSET
WILL Be CONSOLIDATED
SUNSHINE TO INCREASE CAPI-
TAI STOCk-lDORA AND TUS-
CUMBIA AGREE.

SpeClal meeting OF the Stock
holders of the Sunshine Mining COM
pany has been called for March %,
when another step will be taken to-
ward effecting the big consolidation
of mining interests on the north slope
of Sunset in Beaver district The
purpose of the meeting is stated in a
the following is an extract:
To Acquire Valuable Property.
"The purpose of the meeting, as
stated in the notice, is to consider
and act upon the proposition of in
creasing the capitalization of the com
pany from $1,50O,000.00 to $4,000, 100000
This proposed increase is made
necessary to carry out plans of the
directors to acquire valuable prop
Sunshine group. The property which
it is hoped may be acquired can be
developed and worked from the pre-
sent Sunshine workings. 1t is all
property which has been developed
beyond the speculative stage, and the
acquisition thereof will, the directors
believe, ultimately make the Sunshine
one of the big properties in the Occur
d'Alenes."
Properties Involved.
While no official statement has
been made regarding this contem
plated merger with respect to the
properties involved, it is understood
that the plan is with the increased
capital stock for the Sunshine COM
pany to absorb the Toughnut, which
is already under bond to that COM
pany, the Tuscumbia and the Idora,
and ultimately other property of great
prospective value. Up to this stage
of the negotiations the Days are un-
known in the deal, but it is under
stood that they are back of the enter
prise financially and when the final
plans are consummated it is expect
ell that they will be the dominating
figures in the gigantic consolidation
Idora Comes in.
At a meeting of the stockholders OF
the Idora Mining company in Spo-
kane last week the proposition tc
enter the consolidation was accepted
The terms upon which the Idora viii
be absorbed by the Sunshine Were
given in a recent circular letter to the
stockholders from c. e. Mallette, Sec
retary of the Idora company, from
which the following is an extract:
Terms Of Deal.
"The promoters Of the consolidation
Iagree to take $4,000 shares of thu
stock allotted to the Idora MINING
company and pay $4,000, said monies
to be used to pay the present indebt
edness of the Idora Mining company
This would leave 100000 shares o
stock of the consolidated company t.
be divided among the present stock
holders of the Idora Mining company
THE amount of stock of the Idora Min
ing company outstanding is 100000
lshares, which would give each stock
holder one share Of the consolidate
stock for practically four and a hal
shares of his Idora stock"
Tuscumba.
1t is reported that an agreemen
has been reached with the majorit
stockholders of the Tuscumbia com
pany by which that company will b
taken over by the Sunshine, but tn
terms upon which the exchange Q

WOURMS IS D|sBARRED.
OF TWO YEARS
SUPREME COURT FINDS HIS CON.
DUCT lNExcUSABLE IN
DEALINGS WITH BURKE.

John II. Wourms, an attorney OF this
city, will not be permitted to practice
law in the state of Idaho for two years.
This is the order of the supreme court
handed down last Monday, which says
that Wourms' conduct is ineXcusable
and can not be explained upon any
theory which will tend to justify it,"
The disbarment proceedings against
Wourms grew out of the trial of the
case of Patrick Burke against the
owners of the Amazon Manhattan
group of mining claims. Burke had a
bond on the property which expired
ON December 3, 1912, and claimed that
he had an oral agreement by which
the final date was extended to Febru-
airy 10. 1918. This oral agreement was
denied by the owners and Burke en-
ployed Wourms as his attorney for
the purpose of enforcing it. In No
vember 1912, Wourms prepared a no.
tice which was served on the owners
demanding a bond in accordance with
the agreement and that if they did
not comply within Is days he would
start suit to force compliance. On the
4th of December 1912, the payment not
having been made by Burke, theeown-
ers of the property declared the bond
forfeited and forthwith entered into
an agreement to sell the property to
John H. Wourms, who made cash
payment of $4,000. the money being
furnished by the Interstate Callahan
Mining company for whom the pur-
chase was made. On or about De-
cember 16 Wourms, informed Burke,
that he had long been attorney for the
Interstate Callahan company and
could not longer act as his attorney in
the pending litigation; that the COM
pany desired to purchase the property
and that he would have to represent
them.
Wourms Condemned.
In the trial of the case Judge Flynn
decided in favor of the owners of the
Amazon Manhattan, and in the course
of his ruling took occasion to severely
condemn Wourms for what the court
termed double dealing" in represent
ing both parties to the litigation. He
also exonerated the Interstate Gala
han company from any blame, finding
that the company was without knowl-
edge that Wourms was acting in this
dual capacity.
The supreme court reversed the de-
cision Of Judge Flynn and restored
the property to Burke. In reviewing
the evidence the supreme court con-
demned the action of Wourms in un'
measured terms, and soon thereafter
summoned him to appear before tn
court and show cause why he should
not be disbarred. Judge Bryan wal
sent to this city by the court to TAX
testimony and after due deliberatioi
, the court has ordered Wourms dis
{ barred for two years from practicin'
law in the state.
Wourms' Conduct as Viewed by tn
{ Court.
3 In rendering its decision in favor o
2 Burke, the supreme court used thi
{ language in describing the conduct o
Wourms:
"The uncontradicted evidence

WILSON N. 3 S. COMPANY
HAS LEAD AND COPPER
ST. LAWRENCE LOCATES A BIG
BLOCK OF GROUND ADJoIN-
ING-To cRosscUT.

At a meeting of the Wilson Mining
& Smelling company at Saltese the
first of this week an assessment of
one mill was levied, the proceeds from
which will provide funds for all ne
cessary supplies to carry on the work
which was recently started on the pro-
perty. The Wilson group is situated
on Silver creek, about two miles from
Saltese and consists of IA claims and
covers two strong veins, one carrying
copper and the other lead. Consider
able ore of very good grade. has been
opened in an upper tunnel on the
copper vein, and tunnel has been
run near the creek level, which has
been shown by a recent survey to be
following a stringer. Upon this dis
covery, William Burke, who represents
the control of the company, arranged
to resume work and Is now extending
the crosscut toward the vein as indi-
Gated by the survey and he expects to
intersect 1t in q short distance. Last
year four miners took lease on the
Wilson and extracted considerable ore
which would pay to ship, but owing
to disagreements among the leasers
the lease was abandoned without dis
posing of the ore. The lead vein is
one Of great promise. Years ago quite
large body of ore was encountered
and flattering offer was made by a
strong company to bond the proper
ty, which was rejected. The tunnel
caved after the forest fire several
years ago and has never been re-
opened.
St. Lawrence Vein.
1t is believed that the Wilson cop
per vein Is identical with the st. Law
renee and this belief is evidently en-
tertained by the manager of the st
Lawrence mine, III. M Lancaster, Last
summer Mr.. Lancaster, according tc
information received from Satese this
week, located AZ claims covering the
ground between the st. Lawrence and
Wilson, upon which men were kept
busy up to the close of the year do
ing the location work. Mr.. Lancaster
Is now in the east comforting witf
Pittsburg capitalists who are associ'
ated with him in the st. Lawrence
This would indicate that the ST. Law
renee company contemplates exten
sive operations. The company ha!
been shipping ore during the winte
at all times when the wagon roat
would permit heavy traffic.
The directors of the Wilson com
pany are William Burke Addie Burke
Grace Early and Mrs. John Metz, al
of Saltese, and G.. w. Dougherty, o
wallace, who is secretary of the com
pany.

1t is also greatly to the advantage of
each society to have its date early and
widely announced. good deal of

to get together and announce their
dates at once.

Corporation decided that at least
100000 and possibly as much as a
million and a half should be expend-
ed in dwelling houses for the ship
builders at Bath. There are five
yards in this rapidly growing city and
now, as never before, is there a great
demand for houses
The government is looking for
every carpenter, brick layer, and
plasterer that it can possibly get
to help out in this housing problem.
Enroll now, but do not go 10 Bath to
do 1t, come to me and l will notify the
Federal director of your willingness to
be of unlimited help in this hour of
emergency. Don't delay. for pro
crastination is the thief of time.
For an S-hour day, carpenters are
getting ~ cents an hour; brick-lay-

and laborers, 40 cents The Depart
ment of Labor is in urgent need of
your services.
