FlOHR ELECTED PRESIDENT
OF FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

At a meeting of the directors of
the First National bank yesterday
afternoon NJ ]. Flohr, first vice
president and manager. was
elected president to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of
Henry White, and j. w. Winner,
cashier, was elected to fill the va
cancy on the board Of directors.
The advancement of Mr. Flohr to
the head of the institution was
merely continuation of his
steady and well -merited promo
tion since he became connected
with the bank almost 25 years
ago. He started at the lowest rung
of the ladder and has now reached
the highest, presenting another
example of success that comes
through faithful and efficient
service. Under his direction the
First National will doubtless con-
tinue to grow in financial strength
while maintaining its long estab-
lished policy to extend to its pat
rons the greatest service consist
ent with conservative banking.
The elevation of Mr. Flohr to the
presidency was by unanimous
vote of the directors, all of whom
were present.

BULLION.
Bio Ore Shoot Continuss-Plans for
Winter Work.


Winter Work.
James H. Taylor, manager OF the
Bullion Mining company, came over
from the mine Monday. The drift on
the big ore shoot has now been ad-
vanced about 80 feet with practically
the same excellent showing Of copper
Gre that was first encountered. The
entire face Is in ore OF commercial
grade, probably 3 or 4 per cent cop
per, with frequent streaks and
punches of high grade. Work is not
being crowded at this time, the force
working half time underground and
half outside. This outside work con-
sists of building sheds and making
other preparation for the winter. The
snowfall is very heavy at the Bullion
and this outside work must be round
ed up now. Three men will be en-
ployed during the winter and Mr.. Tay-
lor says the work will be confined to
making raise to No. tunnel. Be-
fore this is started the drift will be
continued to a fault that Is known to
be ahead, probably not more than 25
feet and the position of the fault will
determine the location Of the raise. II
will be started east Of the fault un-
less it's throw would carry 1t beyond
the face of No. 2. In that event the
raise will be made west Of and at a
point that will clear the fault.

BIG COPPER DEPOSITS
IN WASHINGTON COUNTY
LIVINGSTON SAYS HEATH DIS.
TRlCT MAY RIVAL UTAH
COPPER.

Idaho's fame as a mining state,
the early-day gold camps at Pierce
City, Florence, Boise Basin and other
wonderfully rich placer camps, must
be attributed chiefly to mineral pro-
duction of the Occur d'Alene district,
The mines of this district have made
Idaho a close rival of Missouri for
first place in the production of lead,
while the production of zinc in the
Occur d'Alene district has become a
factor of large and steadily growing
Importance. This district Is also a
large producer of silver as a by-pro-
duct of lead, and there are mines also
in which silver is the primary pro-
duct which promise to greatly in
crease the output of the white metal
now that the high price of the metal
Is assured. Recent developments in
the copper belt of the Coeur d'Alene
district are decidedly encouraging and
! 1t is probable that copper will soon
assume an important place in the
mining operations of Shoshone coun-
| ty. But Idaho is not dependent alone
upon the copper deposits of this coun-
ty to win a high place as a copper
producing state. At this time the
most notable copper section Is that
around Mackay, in Custer county
from which most of the copper cred
tied to the state comes.
Heath May Rival Utah Copper.
, Robert N. Bell, state mine inspect
or, has within the past year called
attention to the promising copper
showings of the Heath district, in
Washington county, and advanced the
opinion that it would prove to be one
OF the great copper producing sections
Of the west This opinion has just
been confirmed by d. c. Livingston
professor Of geology in the Idaho
school Of mines at Moscow He com
pares the copper deposits of the
Heath district with the great por-
phyry mine Of the Utah Copper com
pany, and says:
There are many hundred acres OF
low grade disseminated copper in the
Heath section Ore that closely re-
sembles the large copper deposits o'
Nevada and southern Utah. At the
TX. L. mine, one of the principal OPP
Grating properties, 3O0-foot tunne
has been driven disclosing a quaint.
ty of ore which probably will rur
about 10 per cent.
Some little copper ore may be seer
on the north fork of Hornet creek, bu
none of it has been developed, al
though the possibilities of this partic
ular region are considerable If sys
tematic prospecting is done by exper
fenced men.

Having determined to reestablish
the employment office, the plan was
presented to George 7. Edmiston and
his services were secured to open 1t
as soon as possible and conduct 1t IN
his own inimitable way. Soon after
the former employment office was
closed down some three years ago,
Mr.. Edmiston moved to Spokane. He
is now here and expects to have the
office doing business within few
days, or just as soon as the carpen-
ters complete their work. The Office
will be located on the ground floor In
the Gyde- Taylor building, corner OF
Cedar and Seventh streets. Besides
permitting a close check on the class
of men employed and making 1t pos
sibie to eliminate the undesirable, the
employment office will prove real
convenience to men seeking employ
ment at the mines. 1t will not be ne
cessary for them to incur the expense
of going to the mines to rustic a
lob. All man who wants work mas
to do is to register at the employ
ment office and If he is the right Kind
OF a man he will get placed as soon
as there Is an opening in his line OF
work, and If possible he will be sent
to the mine Of his choice. No man
whose Intentions are all right ana
who is willing to do an honest days
work has anything to fear from the
employment office. In cooperation
with the office at Kellogg. the opening
of this office will have beneficial ef-
foot throughout the district by favor
ing the better class Of men.

JOHNSTON IN CHARGE

-HE MOST important develop
ment in the mining situation
during the past week was the
action of the managers of the
mines which were recently closed
down by the strike in joining in the
establishment of central employ
ment office to be maintained in Wal
lace. A meeting was held last Thurs
day evening in the Day building
which was attended by representa-
tives of the Hercules, Tamarack &
Custer, Hecla, Hunter Morning and
Interstate Callahan, at which the
question Of employing men for the
mines and mills was discussed, hav-
ing reference particularly to the diff
ficulty in keeping out disturbing ele-
ments. 1t was agreed that the only
practical plan was the establishment
os central office in Wallace through
which all men for the mines and mills
would be employed; in other words,
the managers decided to reestablish
the system Of employment that pre-
vailed here for many years and up to
about three years ago, and to place
the office in charge of the same man
who managed it so successfully be-
fore. without regard to former views
on the question, the manager of every
mine realized that some effective
safeguard had to be adopted in the
employment of men in order to Sc
cure an efficient force and insure
peaceful and orderly conditions in the
district. The central employment Of
fee having proved its value under
similar circumstances in years past,
there appeared to be no reason to
doubt that it would meet all require
ments of the present emergency, es-
pecially with Its management in
trusted to the same guiding hand.

Dear Sir
We, the undersigned, citizens of the
Town of Manning, realizing that it
is the policy of the Federal Govern
ment to furnish employment to the
returned soldiers, and, that although
the various employment bureaus are
doing their very best along these
lines that it is still reported that
about sixty per cent remain unem-
rloyed. We would, therefore, respect
fully suggest, that as means of en-
ployment for at least two of these
young men, that postal clerks be
placed on A. G. l.. trains numbers 46
and AZ, which would in addition to
above give us more than one mail
each way every twcnty-four hours.
And, since we are unable to have the
mails distributed in boxes in Post
Odice for train arriving Sunday even
irgs at eight o'clock, we do further
respectfully suggest that such addi-
t:onal help be given our Post Office,
CT, such additional pay be allowed our
Postmaster and his assistants, that
this mail can be distributed on ar
rival. AS under present method we
20 not get same till after departure Of
Monday morning trains, which is quite
inconvcnient, and works hardGhip on

realized that it was up to us to en-
