SUCCESS IN LABORATORY FOL.
LOWED BY PRACTICAL
MILL TESTS.

c. A. Wright, superintendent of the
experimental station maintained by
the bureau of mines in conjunction
with the state university at Moscow,
arrived in city last Monday and is still
here for the purpose of comforting with
mills Of the district. He is accompani-
ed by James G. Parmelee assistant
metallurgist of the state school of
mines, who for some time has been
giving his attention to experimental
work on differential separation by
flotation of lead zinc ores of the Coeur
d'Alene district. Much progress has
been made in the solution of this prob.
lem so far as laboratory tests are
concerned, and it is believed that
practical tests in the mills here will
raove equally successful. Mr.. Wright is
now prepared to try it out on a COM
mercial basis, but the unfortunate Ia
Dor situation will probably make
postponement necessary.
Better Financial Support.
AS a result Of the appropriation
made by the last legislature, the ex-
perimental station at Moscow has been
enabled to enlarge it's field of opera
ton and increase it's metallurgical
staff, condition that is very gratify-
ing to Mr.. Wright as well as to the
mining industry of the state. The fed
eral government provides fund equal
to that provided by the state for the
support of the station, the amounts
available from these sources for the
current year being $500 each. Last
year the total sum was $4,000, the

"HE Miner has received a copy Of
the joint resolution passed by
the house and senate s6spending
annual assessment work on
mining claims for the year 1919.
AS there has been more or less misun-
standing and uncertainty regarding the
provisions of the resolution, it is here
with reproduced in full. 1t will be
seen that the exemption applies to
only five claims held by single
owner In other words, if a person or
number, he Is not required to perform
assessment work this year. In lieu of
which he must file an affidavit In the
office where the claim or claims are
to hold the same under the provisions
of the resolution. If he owns more
than five claims, he may claim ex-
emption for five of them and perform
assessment work on the remainder.
The resolution follows:

STRIKE SITUATION
IS STILL UNCHANGED.
Portal to Portal is
the Only
Issue
HECLA HAS A FEW MEN
All Other Mines Down Tight
Union Not Dominated by
the |. w. w.

NE WEEK has now passeo
since the employees of the
Morning and Hunter mines
at Mullan. the Hecla and the
Hercules at Burke, and the Inter-
state Callahan and Tamarack on Nine
Mile went out on strike. 1t Is estim-
ated that the number of employees in
volved is about 1900, the working
forces of the companies having long
been reduced much below normal on
account of the labor shortage. The
strike has been notable for the alb
sence of disorder and Incorporate dis
cussion. The various companies
maintain watchmen at the mines and
mills, most of whom have been COM
missioned as deputies by Sheriff
Scott, who has also taken other pre-
cautions to meet any emergency that
may arise. so far as reported, how
ever, there has been no disturbance
and no arrests made in connection
with the strike. The strike call in
cluded pumpmen and some difficulty
was first experienced in keeping the
pumps in operation. This was soon
overcome by the companies and the
mines are now amply protected. When
the walkout took place about 80 men
remained on the job at the Hecla,
practically all of whom being en-
ployed in the machine shop and other
surface work. 1t was stated yester-
day that the number has since been
increased to about double that num-
Der, but none OF whom are employed
underground. With the exception OF
the Hecla all other mines affected are
closed down tight. Since the strike
was called 1t is estimated that about
so per cent of the men have left the
district.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1919-08-21

The strike was called by the Occur
dAlene district union Of the Interna-
tional Union Of Mine. Mill and Smell
ter Workers and without the sanction
OF the international body For this
reason 1t has been believed that the
International would bring pressure to
bear that would result In calling the
strike off, Efforts are no doubt ne
ing made in that direction and there
Is reason to be hopeful that they will
prove successful. Many of the union
men were opposed to the strike and
still feel that it was ill-advised and
would be glad to have 1t called off and
return to work With the disappear
ance Of the more irresponsible ele-
nient from the district it Is hoped
that the influence of the conservative
element will make itself felt. And
right here It Is only fair to state that
SO far as this paper can learn there
is no basis for the charge that there
Is an interchange of cards between
the miners union and the !. w. w
and that there has been in effect q
merger Of the two. The circum-
stances surrounding the call OF the
strike at the time indicated
that the l. w. W. had Slip
ped one over" on the union and
through the more radical element
in the union had temporarily gained
control. The miners union has al
ways opposed the I. w. w. and there
In no reason to believe that Its atti'
tude has changed in this respect. Al
the same time the mere fact thai
suspicion has been cast upon tht
union should induce the conservative
element to assert itself and free tht
organization from this reproach.

OLD VETERAN
Two Stringers of Ore in Face Give
Good Assays.

The drift that was recently started
at the Old Veteran, after crosscutting
to the foot wall has now proceeded
about % feet, The vein widened from
a few inches to the full face of the
drift. Along each wall there is a
streak of ore, assays from which re-
return ~ per cent copper and per
cent lead. The space between these
stringers is mineralized vein material
of very promising character The
face of the drift Is nearing point un-
der the ore showing in the tunnel 200
feet above and the indications are
most favorable for an ore shoot of
importance before that point is reach
ed. Only one shift is working.

How long the strike will last Is OF
course the question of absorbing In
terest, but on this point there is lit
tic upon which to base an opinion
The issue has been reduced to the 'ie-
mand for eight hours from portal to

ed 1t has been officially stated by the
union that the strike would be called

 There is a great deal of uproar in the country. There are men, but they very few, who ad- vocating the overthrow of the government and no- body is interfering with them There are other bodies of seemingly large bodies, but after all. comparatively small who are disregarding the laws and the rights of their neighbors and the govern ment, now the administration is plead ing with them to be reasonable and behave
 All this is irritating but not dscouraging Ad- mnistrations do not last very long, only eight years In the meantime the people, the great power of the country have their hands tied They can now mistake their temporary powerlessness for supine- ness, apathy or weakness. It is not so The people are only "watchful and waiting" because the time has not come for them to act They will be heard from next year. They will issue certain mandates to their servants to restore order do it prompt ly. After that will hear little of bolshevism Our laws for the preservation of order and rights will be fearlessly applied and we will run on smooth ly again.

Accidents At Crossings

There an automobile crash in front of this office yesterday. It occurred in very natural but should not have occurred at all girl driving car against the sun and. of course, she could not in front of her; especially she could not see a car approaching the crossing from her right and therefore had the right of way.
 is observed that accidents of this kind usually occur in the morning in the evening when the obstructs the vision of drivers running against it. We cannot avoid this for not remove the sun from its place in the heavens.
 But there is something else we can do and that is to approach crossings slowly. Many drivers do not do that. Instead when approaching crossing which is always regarded as danger point to be passed quickly possible they "step her" ana make the crossing at most unlawful rate of speed
 In fact many drivers pay attention to the rate of speed within the congested part of the city, 10 miles an hour Visitors notice this recklessness, invariably speak of it and wonder why there are not more accidents than there are.
 But returning to the contributor to collisions, driver approaching crossing, and see- ing another driver approaching it from his left with the in his eyes, should not insist upon the right of way, if the meeting is likely to be close He should take into account the probability that the -obstructed driver does not him. So too. should always insist upon his rights the road, for there many who do not know the rules of the road else lose their heads and forget them. The safe driver will only observe the rules but he will also avoid accidents whenever possible, if others do not observe them
 Altogether there is too much disregard or ignor- by Phoenix drivers of the ordinary precautions It is much perilous for pedestrian attempt street crossing of many of the down town streets of Phoenix than on the busiest street in San Fran cisco Los Angeles.
 But we will shortly have up to date traffic ordinance in Phoenix and have the promise of the city authorities that it will be rgidy enforced in every detail.

give a damn how many witnesses the other side has got, I have made up my mind now" This statement, according to the motion made for a new trial, was made at time when the defense had not placed single witness on the stand.
 In the affidavit filed with the motion signed and sworn to by Kelley, it is alleged Murphy and Schrab, both jurors, stopped at the corner of Wash ington and First streets, near where Kelley's express wagon was standing, and conversed about the case. During the course of the conversation Schrab is alleged to have said to Murphy: Maybe we will get through this after noon." In reply to this Murphy is stated to have said: "That depends on how many witnesses the other side has got" Schrab is then alleged to have made his remarks about not car ing how many witnesses there were, that his mind was made up.
 There are nine other counts in the motion for new trial, claiming among other things that the damages were excessive, and appearing to have been given under the influence of passion and prejudice.

CAN THE DEAD SPEAK TO US
ax .h. Rev. charIe. steIzIe

Way down in every mans heart there's convic- tion that there's spirit world"
 And this conviction remains long after the period when he was frightened by ghost stories"
 With some this belief results in fear of meeting spirit" alone in the dark. with the consciousness that the weapons they would ordinarily against physical enemy entirely useless, even though they are sure that Spirits" must be alto gether harmless.
 With others there's longing that who has gone ahead to the spirit world will come back and in some way make themselves known.
 To what extent this actually happens nobody can ever know. For to those who may have had such experiences they usually become sacred that they do not publish them to the world
 Recently, there have appeared number of books and good many articles dealing with this subject.
 Most of them are shallow and fancful, although few discuss 1t seriously and with evident sincerity and open -rnindedness.
 Practically all of these writers repudiate the called mediums" who have made profession of raising spirits for the benefit of anxious friends who wish to receive messages from the departed.
 But there's doubt that down beneath all the fraud and fancy there's foundation for the belief that the dead do come back, sometimes, and that they just anxious to speak to the living as the living are to hear from them.
 The Bible doesn't say very much about spiritual s using the word in it's broadest and most of what has been written in the Bible must be viewed in the light of the times when back art" was prac-
  commercialism.
 It is also broadly intimated that most of those who posed as mediums" in those days were unoer the influence of evil spirits and not to be trusted.
 But the context proves that there are also good spirits
 'eTry the spirits whether they of God" is new testament injunction.
 That those in the other world do back is plainly taught in the of the prophet Samuel. who was brought back by the who known as "the witch of Endar," at the request of King Saul
 The Bible records a. bona fde conversation in this instance which cannot very consistently be proven a fake for either the story is true or the Bible isn't authentic.
 Just how the spirits of the departed may be in voled with the certain knowledge that they uine has not yet been made manifest.
 All that do, probably, is to keep oneself in tune with the God of the spirit world. and ask a medium He may select, and to be minded to such truth may to through the reverent, sincere study of the subject by others.
