leave. The doctor developed a
throat trouble while in France, and
he was directed to iepo~r 10 Fort

examination by the medical authori-

expected his final discharge after this
examination, but the physicians are
unwilling to grant his request be
cause they are not quite satisfied with
his physical condition, and his sick

ORE FREIGHT RATE.
A Proposal That Will Receive Visor,
Gus Protest From Miners.

An order just asked for by the
Denver district freight traffic commit
tee would, if put inio effect. eventual
ly revolutionize the established sys-
tenn Of handling and collecting for the
movement of all raw materials.
Under the proposed rulings, the
present method of declaring valua-
ton" Is declared to be violation sf
the Cummins act and ores are To be
charged at actual valuation as dis
closed by the smelter or sales reports
the rate to be the present rate-up
to 500 value per ton and l per cent
of value in excess of 500 value net
per ton. Thus. the established prac-
tice of releasing all values on ship
ments under a declaration Of value in
order to receive the benefit Of reas-
onably low tonnage rate is to be ell
minated and the railroad administra-
tion or its successors the railroad
companies will be given access to the
financial transactions in connection
with production or sales of ores or
concentrates.
The mining industry of the west is
already overburdened and threatened
with collapse and formal protests
have been filed by the American Min
ing Congress- with both the western
freight traffic association and the in
terstate commerce commission against
the adoption of the ruling. A hearing
has been announced in Chicago May
13 but ore producers OF the west are
aroused and have asked for a post
ponement to June 13, at which time
the evils and impractical features OF
the proposed ruling may be discussed

ST. JAM ES.

An electric storm last Monday eve
ming, which was apparently on the
higher mountains, put the line Of the
Washington Water Power company
to Murray out of service for a few
hours. Although the company is pro-
vided with the most approved light
ring arresters, these do not always
prevent trouble during electric storms.
The st. James company, operating on
Sunset, was forced to shut down on
account of lightning burning out the
overload attachment to the compress
or. This was brought down yesterday
and taken to Spokane in the after
noon, where It will be rewound. Mrs.
James stated that the crosscut Is en-
countering stringers Of galena and
she estimates that the vein should be
cut In about 40 or so feet.

Street Overseer Strope brought to
the attention of the council the mat

viding facilities for the same along
the north side of the ball park A
variety of opinions We're expressed
and the matter was referred to the
street and alley committee. The i'm
portance of providing a camp ground
was conceded, the only question be-
ing it's location.
The Dog Nuisance.
Another matter brought up by the
street overseer was the necessity of
ridding the city of the dog nuisance,
and citizens generally will hope that
he started something that will get the
desired results. The mayor promised
to give the matter immediate atten-
ton, and facetiously suggested that
the new chief of police might get busy
at once in rounding up the dogs.

COUNTY BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS
.,HE FOREGOING figures present

TNEiE FOREGOING figures present
a record of which every citizen
of Shoshone county may feel
justly proud. 1t Is doubtful IL
another county in any state can show
record equal to this on basis of
population. Estimating the popula-
ton Of Shoshone county Is 15,0O0 the
total represents a per capita sub
subscription of $780, The people of
this county subscribed for million
and half more than their quota, this
in spite of the fact that the quota for
this county in every case was
far above a fair allotment
as compared with the demands
upon the other counties in Ida
no. In the first Liberty loan issue
there was no fixed allotment and no
drive made to secure subscriptions.
The total issue was for $20O0,OO0,0OO
and subscriptions were made volun-
tarily through the banks. 1t is i'm
possible to obtain definite figures re-
garding the amount subscribed in
this county, but it Is known that the
amount was far in excess Of the re-
quirements and many Of the larger
subscriptions were reduced, as the
government did not accept over-sub-
scriptions. 1t is believed that 100000
as given above is a fair estimate. In
all subsequent issues a fixed allot-
ment was made to the county and in
every case 1t was largely over-sub-
scribed. Even the last Victory loan,
which came at time when several OF
the mines had closed down and all
had curtailed their operations. max
| ing the conditions most unfavorable,
sponded with an over subscription of
$66,650. While making this magnif-
cent response to the call of the gov
eminent for funds, the people of Sho-
shone county gave literally to the
Red Cross and the various associa-
tions engaged in war work.
The Victory Loan.
After the first bond issue the
amount to be raised by the various
states and counties was apportioned
and organizations formed to secure
subscribers. In Shoshone county
James f. Mccarthy was chairman Of
the organization in all the drives"
and had the loyal support Of commit
tees in all parts of the county. The
ELL
suit of the Victory bond drive in this
county were compiled in the office Of
the chairman:

OLD VETERAN COMPANY
START ABOUT JUNE |
LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS Ex.
PLAINS CONDITION OF
PROPERTY.

III Clituldl icllei Juol iooucu W
the directors of the Old Veteran Mi
ming company, stockholders are ad-
vised that development work will be-
gin on or about June l, after a sus-
pension since February. The Old
| Veteran is situated a short distance
above Burke, and the last work there
disclosed very favorable indications
of encountering an ore body within
short distance at a point cores
ponding to a very fine showing of
carbonate ore in the upper tunnel.
The letter to the stockholders fol-
lows:
Closed by War Conditions.
ION the 9Th day of February work
on our property was suspended tenn
porarily. At that time our funds
were exhausted and your board of di-
rectors were confronted with the ne
cessity of levying another assessment
or temporarily suspending. We chose
the latter course, owing to the i'm
pending Liberty loan campaign and
the high cost of labor and materials
while hoping for the inevitable re-
duction in the cost of materials anc
mining operations. 1t was with q
great deal of regret that we chose
the latter course, for the reason thai
we were within only few feet of oul
foot wall for which our present cross,
cut was started. However we fell
that we were doing our patriotic duty
both to the country and the stock,
holders and we feel now that condi'
tions have materially changed thai
the stockholders will bear with us.
Your board of directors visited the
property last Sunday and the showing
was really surprising. The drift
started on the quartz stringer has
opened up one of the best showings
on the No. level. This work was
done for the purpose Of opening this
showing beyond the tunnel walls ant
will be continued later on.
Nearing Foot Wall.
1.-THE No. crosscut to the foo
wall, which is now in 1T feet is mos
encouraging. The face of this cross
cut is ribbed with tale seams, indi'
eating the close approach of the foo
wall and the vein, and needs only t.
be seen by the stockholders to I'm
press them as it did your board o.
directors. It Is estimated that from
Is to rs feet is yet to be run to Gu
the ledge at this point. which viii
bring us beneath our carbonate
showing in the No. level above. Th'
last round drilled in the face of this
crosscut brought the first water sine
it was started and is also an indica
ton Of the close approach or th'
ledge. The work just to be resumed
or which will be started on June l, Il
one of the most important develop
ments yet undertaken at the prop
erty and your board of directors an
ticipates that when this is hnshe'
they will be- able to make mos
favorable report to the stockholders.
