Captain Conner during his residence
here years ago, a fact that gave spe-
cial interest to the ceremony.
Captain Conner's Speech.
The reception given Captain Conner
by the large audience when he was
introduced by Mayor Brown was like
a welcome home and it was evidently
in that way that it impressed the
speaker, and it was with much feel
ing that he began his remarks with
expressions of appreciation of the
warm and cordial reception with
which he had been greeted by his old
Wallace friends. Although Captain
Conner had passed through most in
teresting experience since he entered
the first training camp at Preside
down to the time he was incapacitat-
In his left arm at the battle Of Ar
gonne Wood in France, reference to
his creditable military service were
incidental and for the purpose Of en-
phasizng his appeal to his hearers to
buy Victory bonds. His speech was
not long and it was free from flights
Of oratory, but it made pronounced
impression upon his hearers and many
who were halting between two opin-
ions left the hall resolved to buy and
boost for Victory bonds.
At the conclusion of the meeting
hundreds of old friends of Captain
Conner gathered round him to clasp
| his hand and congratulate him upon
his fine military record and the splen-
did work he was doing for Victory
bonds.

TRAINING CLASS TAKES
CONTRACT HECLA RAISE
DIRECTOR CONFIDENT WORK
WILL PRO- SUCCESSFUL
AS IN DRIFT.

Frank H. Skeels director of Voca-
tional training of miners in the Occur
dAlene district, announces the organ
i2aton of a new class, this being the
second. The first one is still working
in the Morning mine and the success
achieved, which has been duly record
ed in these columns, has attracted
much attention, not alone locally, but
in other mining districts. 1t seems to
be the opinion of practical mining
men, as we'll as that of experts who
have made a study of vocational
training, that the result of the expert
ment justifies the prediction that the
system will be generally adopted IN
time and that it will eventually result
in raising the standard of efficiency In
underground work Unfortunately,
the organization of the first expert
mental class came at time when
there was a general curtailment OF
mining operations in the Coeur
dAlene district, and the larger com
ranies had to a great extent suspend
ed development work, this being the
class of work upon which the classes
would receive their initial instruction
and experience. From present indlca-
tons this situation will soon be
changed and that it will be possible
t. organize several new classes With
out much further delay.
Glass in Heola Mine.
The first class in the Morning has
been engaged IN drifting, the worl
being done under contract, and it is
matter of record that the beginners
have made better than wages. Las
Tuesday morning the second class
started to work in the Hecla mine
The work that will engage the atten-
tion of this class, and which has also
been taken under contract, is the con-
tjnuation Of a raise that Is being made
from the 900 level to the 300. Mr.
Skeels. the director Of the class, Is
mining engineer and man OF VIDE
experience in underground work. H.
expresses the opinion that the work
of the class in the Hecla raise vii
prove equally successful as the Worl

Victory Bond Demonstrations Trophy
Train, Great Parade and Address
by Captain A. H. Conner

-HE PEOPLE of Shoshone coun-
ty are going to do their part In
helping to finish the job. They
stood back of the government
while the war was on and they are
going to stay back of it until the price
of victory is paid. The war found
few slackers in Shoshone county and
peace will find no more. This has
been made clearly evident during the
first few days of the Victory bond
drive. The people have responded
with a readiness and liberality be-
yond expectation. Committeeman who
are taking subscriptions for Victory
bends have been surprised at the re-
ception they have received, and yet
when one considers the situation there
is no occasion for surprise. 1t is sim
ply a question of paying debt, a
debt incurred by the government with
the unanimous approval Of a patriotic
people, and the American people will
never repudiate debt, and particu-
larly a debt incurred in cause so
just and in which young American
manhood fought so bravely and sac
rificed so much.
Thousands See Trophy Train.
The arrival Of the trophy train last
Sunday evening on the eve Of the
bond drive attracted a large number
Of people from all parts Of the coun-
try. Those in charge of the train
stated that over 5000 people passed
through the exhibit car and 1t is
probable that several thousand more
were present who did not see the in
terror exhibit on account Of the Ions
wait that was necessary in the line
1t Is believed that anywhere from
5000 to 10000 people saw the troph!
train in Wallace. Local interest wa
heightened by the arrival of Captain
A. H. Conner Sunday at noon ant
who proceeded to Mullan to join tn
train. Captain Conner was met by
|host of old friends while here. In tn
evening Howarth hall was filled t
hear him speak in behalf Of the Vic
tory loan. Preceding his addres
Captain Conner pinned medals award
ed by the treasury department to

AMAzON.O|X|E NINE
IS HIGHLY COMMENDED
ORE LOOKS GOOD AND MANAGE.
MENT COMMENDED FOR
EFFICIENT WORK.

Il believe the Amazon Dixie is 60
ing to be great mine, but whether
this opinion proves correct or not, it
is evident that every stockholder is
getting fair run for his money.
Everything in the way of development
work and equipment under ground
and on the surface indicates efficient
management and a determination to
get the most out Of every dollar ex-
pended" This in brief is the express
sion of E. P. Gallagher upon his re-
turn from visit to the Amazon Dixie
mine, at Sildix, Mont, last week. Mr..
Gallagher is a Philadelphia lawyer,
rot the one of tradition, and he is
here giving his attention to the devel-
or ment of the Columbus group OF
claims on east Eagle creek, of which
he is the chief owner. While waiting
for the snow to disappear from the
Columbus ground in order to permit
surface examination, he is taking
advantage of the opportunity to visit
other mining operations of the dis
tr.ct, hence his visit to the Amazon
Dixie While making no claim to
practical knowledge of mining, Mr..
Gallagher was nevertheless most fav-
orably impressed with the mineral
showing developed, and particularly
with the evidences Of order, eflicienc,
ar economy that characterize oper-
ations at the AmaZon-Dixie, which
found expression in the opening state
ment.
Looks Good to Albright.
r. G. Albright, who is associated
with Mr.. Gallagher and who will per-
sonally direct the development of the
Columbus group, also inspected the
Amazon Dixie along with Mr.. Gala
CHER. Mr.. Albright now resides in
New Jersey, but for many years he
was engaged in mining in Colorado.
He fully confirmed the above expires
sion from Mr.. Gallagher, and further
stated that he regarded the future of
the Amazon Dixie now assured. In
his opinion the showing of ore in the
drift which has been started on the
100 level is the beginning Of per-
manent and important ore body. Work
was suspended here a few weeks ago
until a pump of, sufficient ca
pacity to handle the water
could be installed. At the time
Mr.. Albright was there a station had
been cut for the pump and work was
progressing on a large sump. Addi-
tional men have since been put on and
the drift is again advancing. Being a
practical miner, Mr. Albright observ
ed closely the system Of timbering
and the methods adopted in the un-
derground works in general and he
was profuse in his praise both from
the standpoint Of thoroughness and
economy in operation.

100 Feet.
From Saltese parties it was learned
this week that a crosscut is being
run by the Richmond company from
the shaft that Is being sunk from the
main tunnel. The crosscut Is at
depth of 100 feet and it is expected
that the ore body will be reached
within a short distance. The shaft Is
also being continued to a depth of
200 feet. This shaft is understood to
be near a particularly good showing
Of ore in the tunnel and the crosscut
now being run and the one that will
be run from the bottom are expected
to make available much additional
ore and of higher grade than that
now being shipped.

SHER MAN.
Getting Some Ore, But 400 Feet to
Run to Ore Body.

Kun to Ofe 6ouy.
1T is estimated that about 400 feet
remains to be run on the Sherman to
reach the main ore shoot exposed in
the No. tunnel and also in the ore
ano crosscut. The tunnel is following
the vein and considerable ore has been
encountered and there is more or less
ore all the time. The fine showing
that has been exposed above gives
every assurance that the ore will be
found on this level, and the Sherman
will soon thereafter be placed on a
productive basis. 1t is believed that
this tunnel will be extended into the
Tamarack & Custer ground and af-
ford a permanent outlet to that mine.
Both properties are controlled by the
Days.

Music
Miss Creta Torpadie Heard at
Concert of Svea Singing So.
ciety at Aeolian Hall

After listening to the depressing me-
diocrity of several half-baked young
singers, cheerfully pitchforked upon
the stage during this early autumn
season st was pleasure to contem-
plate the finished work of Miss Greta
Torpadie, who, with Joel Mossberg
barytone, was soloist at the concert
given by the Svea Singing Society in
Aeolian Hall last evening.
Of course, Miss Torpadie is no new
conner, but each year she has some
thing more to say, and she says it Sc
modestly and with such delicate dis
tinction that were it not for the APP
palling contrast presented by some of
her contemporaries her superlative
ability might too easily be overlooked
On excellent terms with a rather light
soprano voice, she makes the best of
somewhat limited vocal resources, and
with a serviccabie technique combines
intelligence, imagination and charm
as an interpreter. In fact, Miss Tor
padie is one of the few arguments
against the general belief that recit-
ais by young singers are mournful af-
fairs.

berg, we'll scnooied barytone, and by

string section from the Scandinavian

Heifetz Gives His First
Recital of the Season

Jascha Heifetz has never appeared
more completely himself than he did
yesterday afternoon at Carnegie Hall.
Taken for what he is, he knows no
equal. In technical perfection, regard
for line breadth and mobility of style
he is supreme, and if the gods have
not yet given hirn warmth and pas
sion that they have vouchsafed to some
others it may we'll be because they bide
their time. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Heifetz will not force this note before
it comes to him without effort for to-
day he gives US something given by no
other violinist, and in a struggle to
gain what is not yet ours by right there
is ever danger in losing what we have.
Mr.. Heifetz opened yesterday with
the Cesar Franck A major sonata, play
ing it with a rare nobility of style.
The purity and firmness of his tone,
the breadth and elasticity of his bow
ing, the perfection of his finger work
go without saying, and if there were
some who found somethin" missing
in the deeper beauties of the work,
it was yet a reading of fine and re-
strained dignity. The Bruch Fan
taisie," which followed. was of course
child's play compared with the Franck
sonata, but Mr.. Heifetz gave it fol
all it was worth.
The latter half Of the program was
somewhat of descent, with a dance
of Dvorak, a Motto Perpetuo Of Cecil
Burleigh, Legende of Godowsky, and
short numbers by Wieniawski, Rach-
maninoff, Fiocco, and Paganini. Yet
all Mr. Heifetz gave con amore.
Samuel Chotzinoff played admirable
accomplishments. The audience filled
the auditorium and was banked deep
upon the stage.
