COEUR D'ALENE MEN
IN TEXAS OIL FIELDS
TEXAS PAPER TELLS OF RANGER
NOW CENTER OF OIL
EXCITEMENT.

A copy Of the Texas Oil Review,
published at Fort Worth, Texas, has
been received from Charles McKinnis,
who is now at Ranger, the center of
the greatest oil excitement the coun-
try has ever witnessed. Myron A.
Folsom, the well known mining law
yer until recently connected with the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan company. is
sinking a well at Ranger, and it is
reported that John p. Gray, another
widely known mining attorney of
Wallace and Occur d'Alene, is also
there looking for something good in
oil. Some idea of what Is going on in
Ranger may be gained from the fol-
lowing, taken from the Oil Review
Texas Oil Mad.
Ranger! What name to conjure
with in the oil fields of Texas.
Texas has gone oil mad. The pus-
tie and roar, the seething excitement
in the Ranger, Burkburnett and other
oil areas equals anything known in
the history of booms.
Search for Liquid Gold.
Morning, noon and night the search
for liquid gold Oil never ceases, and
the new tales of huge fortunes, made
in the twinkling of an eye, pour fresh
fuel on the flames. Every train brings
fresh crowds Of rainbow chasers,
ranging from the penniless soldier of
fortune to the opulent oil magnate. 1t
is the story of Pennsylvania. Califor-
MIA and Oklahoma told over again,
only with different setting and differ
ent developments.
The Town Of Ranger.
The town Of Ranger was named by
w. H. Abrams, who was for a num-
Der of years land and tax commission
er of the Texas & Pacific railway. He
the town Ranger because
1t was the headquarters Of company
Of the famous Texas rangers. On
February 4, by vote of approxim-
ately to / the citizens Of Ranger
held special election and voted to
incorporate the town. -
Production 100000 Barrels a Day.
Explorations so far in. the great
plunging anticline, known as the Bend
series, of which Ranger is the center,
indicate a production this year in the
neighborhood of 100000 barrels per
day. At the present market prices of
1925 per barrel, this production would
be worth $450,O0O' per day, or $780,
100000 per year.
More than 1000 carloads of supplies
are carried every day over the Texas
& Pacific railroad to the town of Ran
ger, and these supplies are intended
for companies and concerns engaged
IN the oil business.

WALLACE RETURNS.
Timely Appearance Relieves Friends
of Anxiety.

Oscar B. Wallace arrived in the city
last Monday, after an absence Of sew
eral months, most of the time being
spent in Seattle. More recently he
has been visiting his son, DR.. Walter
Wallace. who is located at Newport,
Wash. Mr.. Wallace is the son Of Col.
w. r. Wallace. the founder of this
city and for whom 1t is named. From
the time Of his arrival over 80 years
ago he has been actively engaged in
mining. and his arrival at this time
was in connection with mining en-
terprise which he will probably un-
dertake within the next few weeks,
but which he did not care to discuss
at this time for publication. He left
Tuesday morning and expects to re-
turn soon prepared to begin opera
lions. His appearance at this time
relieved many Of his friends here Of
anxiety regarding his fate, as 1t was
feared that he was the oscar wal
lace" recently mentioned in the press
dispatches as having been murdered
in Mexico.

PRICHARD PROTESTS
CUTTING OUT EXPRESS.

A vigorous { protest is being
made by the people Of Prichard
and the lumber companies oper-
ating along the North Fork
against the action of the O.-W. r.
& N. company or the express
company in disseminating express
service between Enaville and
Prichard beginning on April l. 1t
seems that the business has been
handled by one of the train men,
for which he received extra pay of
$40 per month, and the only ex-
PLANTATION offered for the discon-
tinuance Of the service is that the
company desires to save this $40.
1t is reported that a large amount
Of express is accommodating at
the Enayille office consigned to
people at Prichard and other
points along the river and that
some Of 1t is being returned. Much
Of the express shipments consist
of perishable stuff, such as meat
and vegetables, and it's delivery is
absolutely essential to the people
of that section. Wallace and
Kellogg business men have de-
pended upon the express to deliver
goods to their patrons along the
North Fork, They should take
the matter up at once with the
railroad and express companies
and insist that the service be re-
stored.

MINING AND GEOLOGY
BUREAU SOON ORGANIZE
WILL ACCOMPLISH IMPORTANT
WORK DEVELOPING STATE
RESOURCES.

While in the city the first Of the
week in connection with the vocation
al school for the training of miners
Francis A. Thomson, dean Of the Ida
no school Of mines. expressed great
satisfaction with the action of the
legislature in passing the act Great
ing the state bureau of mines and ge-
ology, and predicted that 1t would re-
suit In great benefit to the state Con-
trary to popular impression, the ben
efits to be derived from the bureau
will not be limited to the mining in
dustry. The agricultural and forestry
interests will share in its benefits
particularly In the Typographical sur
vey which will embrace all parts of
the state. Discussing the law Great
ing the bureau, its organization and
scope Of its work, Mr.. Thomson said:
Organization Of Bureau.
With the signing by Governor Da-
Wis Of house bill No. 40, there has been
created in the state Of Idaho a bureau
of mines and geology, which if pro-
perly directed and adequately sup
ported should In time become an i'm
portant factor in the development of
the mineral resources OF the state.
The board of control for this bu-
reau Is composed of the governor of
the state, Hon. d. w. Davis, as chair
man; the president of the Idaho Min
ing association, Jerome J. Day, Of
Moscow; the professor of geology at
the University Of Idaho. d. c. Living
ston; the state mine inspector, Rob
ert N Bell; with myself as dean of
the school of mines as executive sec
rotary.
"The initial appropriation is for
100000 for the biennium, the general
distribution Of which Is provided for
by the act as follows:
Funds Available.
For cooperative work with the Unit
ed States bureau of mines, $4,000, to
be matched by like appropriation
from federal funds; for cooperative
Topographic and geologic work with
the United States geological survey,
$4,000, which also is to be matched
by similar federal appropriation. For
general geological economic investi-
cation Of the mineral resources of the
state, $4,000. The new bureau will
therefore be the means of expanding
IN mining, metallurgical investiga-
tons and in geologic and topographic
surveying the sum of $55,O0O during
the present biennium.
''rhe first board meeting is to be held
at Boise on Monday. April z at which
time plans will be adopted outlining
In general way the work of the next
two years.
''The cooperative work in topo-
graphic surveying will be OF fully as
great value to the agricultural and
forestry interests Of the state as to
the mining industry.
Washington, Oregon and California
each have well organized surveys of
this kind and the creation Of. such al
bureau Of surveys has been urged in
Idaho for many years and has finally
become a reality"

TARHox.
Will crosseut to Hanging Wall on the
100. Foot Level.

Will Crosscut to Ranging wall on tne
100-Foot Level.
Julius P. Hall, mining engineer. re-
turned from the Tarbox Monday af-
ternoon, where he had been engaged
in making surveys on the 1000-foot
level and planning work for further
development. It Is the opinion OF Mr..
Hall that the east drift on this level.
which has exposed continuous shoot
of milling ore for distance of about
1870 feet, is not in the best ore, which,
according to the showing on the 800
level, should be found along the hang
ing wall side of the vein the drift be-
ing on the foot wall side. Acting up
on this theory, a crosscut has been
started about midway of the drift
running to the south or toward the
hanging wall. The extension Of the
main crosscut on this level and also
crosscut south from the extreme end
of the drift Mr. Hall says has disclos-
ed conditions similar to those at each
end Of the ore shoot on the 800, which
leads to the conclusion that the in
termediate ground will show the best
ore on the 1000 level corresponding to
the ore on the 500. Aside from the
ore that is now being sought, Mr. Hall
says there is an abundance Of ore
available for mill, which is the most
need Of the Tarbox at this
lime.

MINING ON NORTH SIDE
SITUATION IMPROVING
NEAR MURRAY-WoRk ON
GIANT LEDGE.

William Wiley. of Murray, who Is
sojourning in the county seat on ac-
count Of jury service, says that while
business conditions continue quiet on
the North Side, the situation Is i'm
proving and the outlook Is encourag-
ing The people Of Murray in partic-
ular are watching with great interest
the progress of the development Of the
Anchor group, situated on Alder gulch
and only about a mile from town. In
the upper tunnel Of the property Mr..
Wiley says there Is a splendid shoot
of lead-silver ore, in one place there
being fully three feet Of practically
solid steel galena. He says the geo.
logical conditions surrounding this
ore body are identical with those
found with the big lead deposits on
the south side, and like them it also
carries a high value in silver, assays
showing as high as 40 ounces. A
crosscut is being run under contract
which will cut this ore body at fur
Their depth Of 200 feet. and when he
left few days ago there were indica-
tions that the vein was not far away.
The development of a mine in the An
Choir will prove a great benefit to
Murray and will give great impetus
to mining on the North Side.
Giant Ledge.
IN Drin ha rI OF hn re
Granite, the Giant Ledge company is
preparing to resume development un-
der the management of C. G.. Taylor,
and Mr.. Wiley expressed great con-
fidence in the future of the property.
A splendid showing of lead silver ore
has been developed on the 200 and 400
levels and the plan is now to extend
the west drift on the 400 to get under
a shoot Of ore that carries high values
in gold. This showing was exposed
years ago when the property was be-
ing worked for gold alone, and recent
investigations convinced the manage
ment that high grade ore will prob
ably be encountered by extending the
drift few hundred feet The prop
erty is well equipped. having recently
put In new hoist, moved the COM
pressor plant near the shaft and is
provided with both water and electric
power The construction of a mill
has been started and 1t Is possible
this may be completed by fall.

HEcLA DIVIDEND.
Company Makes Quarterly Disburse-

On March 20 the Hecla Mining COM

cents per share, amounting to $500
This brings the total amount paid by
the company up to $7,405,000. There
is much speculation as to what will be
the policy Of the company regarding
dividends during the remainder Of the
year, due to the uncertainty regard
ing the income and net profits tax to
be paid by the company and the cur
tailment Of output of the mine on ac-
count of the limited consumption Of
lead. 1t Is expected that some defin-
lite announcement will be made fol-
