ST. JOE ROADS.
Commissioners Confer With People
Of Avery on Question.

The county commissioners made an
official visit to the st. Joe section
this week for the purpose of investi-
eating road matters and comforting
with the people regarding road i'm j..
provements and new construction. a
was held in Avery at which
the situation was discussed, when
it was made plain that the commits
sioners We're disposed to do every
thing possible in the way of road
work. However, the problem is rath =
er a difficult one and no definite con-
clusion has been reached as to what
will be done. The people of Avery are
not so much interested in the pro,
posed road to Taft as they are in the
construction of one to ST. Maries.
The latter would be in Shoshone
county for about 80 miles and it's
construction would be so costly that
it is practically prohibitive at this
time. The commissioners realize that
that section is entitled to considera-
ton in the matter of road improve
ments, and the question to be solved
is where the Improvements shall be
made.

COPPER MINERS.
Confer With Secretary of Labor and
Company Officials.

Following conferences With the
workers in copper mines of Montana,
Utah and Arizona, and also the mine
managers, Secretary of Labor Wilson
issued the following statement in
part
CAS- a result of the conferences
held Friday, Saturday between off
cials of the department of labor and
delegates representing the workers in
the copper industry of Montana, Utah.
AMI Arizona, the men have appointed
a permanent joint conference COM
mittee, which is empowered to confer
with the managers of the industry
with a view to establishing a working
agreement for the delicate period OF
readjustment on a peace basis. The
men today adopted resolutions urg-
in congress to pass such legislation
authorizin government aid, as well as
to furnish long-term credits to facili-
tate resumption of our export trade
in raw materials, agricultural pro-
ducts and manufactured goods. and
recommending to Secretaries Baker
and Daniels to hold copper stocks
they have on hand for the army and
navy. In the opinion of the labor de-
partment officials, the most import
ant result of the conferences has been
to promote a spirit of cooperation be-
tween owners and the employees in in
dustry
John d. Ryan, president Of the
Copper Export association, met the
cards on the table, revealing to the
men the critical situation in the in
dustry which must result in COM
plete shutdown of mines and smelters
unless through mutual assistance of
employers and workers business can
be tided over the next few months.
"The men were equally frank in
the serious condition of
prevailing in copper
districts Each side thus has COM
plete appreciation of facts and a
feeling of confidence in the good faith
of the other side. The department
believes that If a similar spirit can
be created In every industry, the re-
adjustment period will be passed
through safely

The Bug Stays On
The People Rule

The voice of the people has been
heard and needed, thus proving
that even In these days of bureau
cratic and autocratic rule, justice
can still be obtained even from
government controlled railroads If
the protest Is made strong enough.
When it became known last week
that orders had been issued to
take the motor car, called bug"
for short, off the run between
Wallace and Enaville, the people
of Wallace made a vigorous pro-
test which found expression in
resolutions adopted by mass
meeting called for the purpose.
They set forth that the continu-
ance of this service was vital to
the business interests of the dis
trict. that it's service was COM
parble to that of a street car sys-
tenn in large city, and that 1t
could not be discontinued on the
score of loss because ID was
known that the Coeur d'Alene
branch is the most profitable of
the O.-W. r.. & N. system. They
said much more that was not en-
bodied in the resolutions and
which would not look we'll in
print. The resolutions were wir-
ed to the chief in Portland, one
of whom promptly replied that
the order could not be cancelled.
Upon second thought, however, he
sent special representative up
here to investigate and report.
This representative was w. S. El-
Hot, of Spokane, district freight
and passenger agent Being
practical man, capable of consld-
ering both sides or a question, he
arrived at the conclusion that the
situation was just as had been
represented by the people of Wal
lace and so reported in effect to
his superiors. Result, the bug"
is stin in service When one con-
siders the small expense in con-
nection with this service as COM
pared to it's value to the business
interests Of the district, 1t Is diff
cult to understand why the rail-
road management even considered
it's discontinuance

YUKON GOLD.
Company Lets Contract for Clearing
Dredging Ground.

Company Let's Contract for Clearing
Dredging Ground.
d. II. Ferry, manager Of the dredg-
ing operations of the Yukon Gold
company on Prichard creek, was in
the city the first of the week. Barring
a shutdown of nine days. due to the
breaking of the main shaft and also
the spud, the dredge has been in con-
tinuous operation during the winter.
The coolest weather ever known in
the district would not interfere with
the work of the dredge. In Alaska all
the dredges work when the tempera-
ture is 70 degrees below zero.
The dredge on Prichard creek is
now working back toward Murray.
Contracts have just been let to clear
60 acres of dredging ground of timber
and convert ii into fuel for heating
purposes on the dredge. Walter
Johnson secured the contract for the
upper 30 acres and Granvill Robinson
has the contract for the lower 30.

Electric Power Line Extended to the
Mill.
George II. Richardson, representa-
tive of the Washington Water Pow
er company, visited the Nabob, on
Pine creek yesterday. He has just
completed the extension of the power
line from the Nabob mine to the mill,
a distance of about 1000 feet. Work
is progressing toward the construction
OF the mill, which is expected to be
running on the first Of April or soon
thereafter. With the exception of
the Nabob, there Is nothing doing at
ANY Of the producing properties on
Pine creek. Several development
companies are working small forces.
There is nothing new on the railroad
situation, although the feeling pre-
walls that the Pine creek branch will
be constructed during the spring and
summer.

Improve Wagon Road.
The forest service has built a good
wagon road from Wolf Lodge to the
divide at the head of the Little North
Fork and down the stream for about
six or seven miles, but as the natural
supply point for the mining compan-
les is Kellogg, this road is of little adj
vantage. The old road following the
creek is now impassable for vehicles
on account of damage done by high
water, leaving the trail from Old Mis-
sion about the only practical route for
the delivery Of supplies.

Annual Labor Law
at State Meeting

AT the meeting of the Idaho
Mining association next week
resolution should be adopted fa-
Voring the suspension of annual
assessment work on mining claims
as provided in the resolution that
mas already passed the senate.
The senate resolution has been re-
ferred to the committee on mines
and mining of the house, and as
the chairman of that committee is
known to be antagonistic to the
measure, 1t is not likely that it
will be reported to the house for
action unless strong pressure is
brought by the mining interests of
the west. The suspension of as
sessment work at this time is es-
pecially desired for the relief of
the individual claim owner and
small development company.
Practically all of these have sus-
pended work on their properties
long ago on account of prohibit
i've costs for labor and supplies.
These adverse conditions still ex-
ist and will probably continue in
definitely, making resumption of
the usual development operations
impossible. Under these circum-
stances the requirement of annu-
al labor on mining claims will i'm
pose an unnecessary burden and
will result in no compensating
benefit 1t is not true that the
suspension of assessment work is
in the interest of the large oper-
ating mining companies. They
would of course share the benefit
to the extent of the unpatented
claims held by them, but the hold
ings of such companies are gem
orally patented and they are not
therefore greatly concerned re-
garding the matter. The proposed
I Irospector, the miner, the small
development company, all of whom
have been forced to suspend work
on their properties on account of
high costs and who should not be
required to resume merely to the
extent of doing assessment work
which will accomplish no material
benefits.

ver- Gold Ore.
Contractors who are driving cross
cut on the Eldorado recently encoun-
tered the ledge which shows values in
silver and gold to the amount of 500
per ton. There is also some lead. The
crosscut is still in the vein and it is
probable that more important disclos-
ures will be made before the wall is
reached. The contract was complet-
ed soon after cutting the vein and a
new one was let for 100 feet this week,
the contractors taking all their pay in
stock~of the company. The Eldorado
is situated on the opposite side of the
river from Kellogg, and a short dis
tance above the town. Martin Cur
ran, of Kellogg, is manager Of the
property. John Hamlin, of Wallace,
is president of the Eldorado company,
and G. w. Dougherty, of Wallace, is
secretary.

St. James.

Mrs. Theresa James, of Spokane,
president and manager of the st.
James Mining company, was in the
city this week. The property of the
company is situated on Sunset, join
ing the Sunset mine on the east. A
compressor was recently installed at
the property preparatory to resuming
operations Delay was caused by the
failure of the receiver to arrive. This
is now at the depot and arrange
ments will soon be made to deliver 1t
at the mine.

week from the property of the Ham
burg American Mining company, on
the Little North Fork, trip that in
volved walking about Is miles from
the mouth Of the stream over what
was once a wagon road, but which is
now largely lost to view by the ac-
cumulation of drift wood and debris
deposited by the high water over a
year ago. The Hamburg American is
situated on Iceberg creek a tributary
Of the Little North Fork, and is owned
largely by Kellogg people. The main
opening on the property is a tunnel
ed a very promising vein carrying
copper and some lead The last 100
feet run has witnessed decided i'm
provement and the face of the drift at
the time of Mr.. Shonts' visit showed
a nice shoot Of commercial copper ore.
Only two men are employed on the
property this winter William Schae-
fer is president of the Hamburg Am

 WEEKLY LETTER

Stimulated by the approaching peace treaty, removal of trade embargoes, indications of a. trend toward natural commodity markets, prospect of Q large wheat crop, optimistic senti- ment in connection with the Victory Loan campaign, and other features, trading activity and strength has in creased in volume in the industrial section of the market for securities, with promise of a continuation of bulIish specially operaho ons, The railroad list has Jagged except where, as in the case of southwestern sys- tens, the influence of the oil boom has inspired purchases of the stocks of roads in that part of the country. Brokerage loans do not appear to have expanded to dangerous propor- tons, and that has encouraged the speculative element in the belief that the market is safe" for the present. We believe sound securities should still be bought on reasonable reces- sions.
