FICERS ELECTED.

In his annual report to the stock
holders of the Richmond Mining, Mill
ing & Reduction company, Manager
B. N. Sharpe says:
while copper brought a good price
during the year. it was very largely
offset by the cost of labor and supplies.
Smelling charges were advanced 81 to
SO a ton in direct and indirect ways
and freight rs cents ton. i see no
reason why we can not operate pro-
fitably if copper returns to pre- war
prices and the prices of other things
drop in proportion"
Commenting on the present situa-
ton at the mine, Mr.. Sharpe said:
Since January l station has been
completed near the face of the Log
Cabin tunnel at a depth of $40 feet A
shaft started in the tunnel has beer
sunk to depth of 40 feet and will be
continued to the 200-foot point Three
shifts are employed and depth is be-
ing attained at the rate of two feet a
day. The shaft, which is descending
in country rock at point Is feet from
the vein has two compartments, each
measuring ANA feet in the clear"

YOUNG DAxON HONORED.
One Of Special Guard Of Honor fo
President in Rome.

| When President Wilson visited
Rome and other cities in Italy, a spe-
cial guard of honor was selected from
uhe marine corps to accompany him.
The men selected for this special SER
vice were required to be not less than
six feet in height, of perfect physique
and sodierly bearing. One of those
selected was Pierce DaXon, a young
man 20 years of age, born and reared
in Mullan, a son of William Daxon. a
Occur d'Alene pioneer and one of the
large stockholders in the Tarbox mine.
Pierce DaXon was employed at the
TarboX when war was declared and
soon thereafter he enlisted in the ma
rne corps. When it was necessary to
provide this guard of honor for the
president he was on duty on board an
American battleship at Barcelona,
Spain. He was ordered to report at
Rome, making the trip overland. in
with other marines who had
been selected for the same service. 1t
was a coveted honor and 1t is with
pleasure that the people of the Occur
d'Alenes learn that a native son meas
ured up to the exacting requirements.
Pierce Daxon is six feet two and every
inch a man. He expects to be home
this summer.

ment can be informed of our need of
their accepting one of these bids, and
also of the conditions affecting bids.
At one time the passenger traffic from
Murray, winter and summer, was all
by horse-driven mail stage. At that
time, we are informed, competition in
bidding reduced the contract price to
an amount which scarcely covered
horse feed for the mail carrier
Conditions are materially changed
now. Railroad from Prichard in win
ter and automobiles in summer cut
into a mail contractors passenger and
express business, and he must bid
higher than heretofore. Furthermore,
the price of horse feed, labor and all
supplies are mostly more than double
what they were.
Important Mining Enterprises.
Murray is developing in spite of
Ihandicaps. Much money has been
spent this winter in the active devel-
opment of a new lead-silver mine al
most in the town itself. A large all
steel placer gold dredge was built dur
ing the summer of 1917, and has been
operating successfully for over year
on Prichard creek, about one mile
from town. Ali employees of these en-
terprises live in Murray, and these
are but illustrations of recent devel-
opments in recognized productive
district.
"Murrays mail service now comes
three times a week throughout the
year by train to Prichard, thence by
stage to Murray. In summer this SER
vice is augmented by an automobile
mail service on three more days q
week direct from Wallace. We believe
per week throughout the year, ant

ance towards providing us with such

IDAHO MINING VIEWS
TO EDUCATE PEOPLE
WOULD SHOW IMPORTANCE OF
MINING AND ITS VALUE
TO THE STATE.

The collection of views showing mi
ming operations in the Occur dAlen
district, exhibited by Walter c. Clark
chief electrician of the Bunker Hill
Sullivan company, in connection will
the recent meeting of the Idaho Min
ing association at Boise, created such
general interest among people out
side the mining fraternity that it ha:
made for their exhibition in all parts
of the state. Although mining is ar
industry Of first importance in Idaho
comparatively few people have person
al knowledge from observation re-
garding the extraction of ore, the re-
covery Of the mineral by milling pro-
cesses, and its reduction to a COM
mercial form in the smelter and rein
cry. Nor have they any definite con-
ception of the vast expenditure neees-
sary for the erection of mills and
equipment, powerful pumps, under
ground electric haulage;' the tremend-
Gus cost of driving tunnels and sink
ing shafts. and the millions of feet Of
timber consumed annually in keeping
the vast underground chambers safe.
The profits earned by the mining COM
panies receive wide publicity, but the
vastly larger sums expended for la
Dor, machinery, power, freight and
countless articles and material essen
tial to mining operations in order to
frequently fail, receive little attention
from the public.
Would Educate the People.
For this reason an erroneous i'm
preston prevails regarding the mining
industry, which leads at times to at
tempts to place heavy burdens upon
IL In the form of legislation, due to a
lack of appreciation of its benefits to
the state as whole. The exhibition
OF the views taken at the various
mines Of the Occur d'Alene district by
Mr. Clark gives comprehensive idea
of mining, the large capital required
and the enormous expenditures made
year after year which support pros
porous business communities and
which provide a permanent market for
the products of the state. 1t is pro-
posed to make duplicates of these
views and send them to the various
high schools of the state, where they
will be used as a special feature OF
school entertainment, where they
would prove highly interesting and
instructive to parents as well as pup
lis. 1t is hoped that this plan will bt
carried out, for it would result in CIV
ing an insight to the mining industry
showing its value to the state as 3
whole and the possibilities of further
development of the vast mineral re-
sources of Idaho.

RESUMPTION OF MINING
AROUND SHELTER CITY
NORTH BUNKER HILL, WARDNER
LEASlNG-COEUR D'ALENE
ANTHONY.

The Whrdner-K Kellogg News takes
an optimistic view regarding the min
ing situation in the section tributary
to the Smelter city, and predicts a
general resumption of mining activity
with the coming of spring. Already
plans are being worked -out by many
development companies which sus-
pended work during the war on ac-
count of high cost of mining and the
shortage of men. While prices are
still high, the tendency is downward
and it is expected that the next few
months will witness a change that will
permit resumption of mining on an ex-
tensive scale. Even now the News
notes actual work beginning on sew
eral Pine creek properties controlled
by Kellogg people and others in the
immediate vicinity of Wardner and
Kellogg.

DAILY MAIL SERVICE
MURRAY AND WALLACE
PETITION FROM BUSINESS MEN
SHOWS NECESSITY FOR
THE SERVICE.

The people of Murray want daily
mail service from Wallace and they
are clearly entitled to it, A short
time ago the postoffice department in
vited bids to carry the mail and al
though the bids were little above the
actual cost of the service, they were
rejected by the department on the
ground that they were too high, and
bids were again invited. The last
bids were filed on February 25 and
in the hope Of securing favorable ac-
ton, the people of Murray have APP
pealed to Representative Addison T..
Smith to use his efforts in their be-
half by presenting the matter to the
postoffice department The letter to
Congressman Smith presents the
facts in manner that should impress
the department with the justice of
this demand for daily mail service
and insure the acceptance of one of
the bids now on file. The letter from
the people of Murray to Congressman
Smith follows.

Where Does This Opposition to
A Street Railway Merger
Come From
Come From?
Is Interesting In View Of the Fact That the Present
Valuable To Certain Stockholders
By EARL GOODWIN =.

Occasionally odd and mysterious outburst against
merger of the two railroad companies flares up public
view.
Is it possible that this opposition to practical exit
from the present street dilemma anything than
academic conclusion reached in debate among dis
interested citizensi
Or there strong fnancia-but Observation-Disclosures
ing to the sporadic fight against the progressive program
which to be making good Roadway toward single
street car system with SERVICEi
We have situation which admits of only the most
drastic measures for relief.
One street company rolling in wealth; the other
rafting along to the boneyard Because of the sins of its
fathers the old RATHER requires constant financial pamperng
and whenever rate raised for the one must be raised
for the other.
So that when the W. R. and E. asked and got relief and
just barely pulled through the Capital Traction Co. gath
cred extra unasked profits, THEREBY MAKING ITS
STOCK ALL THE MORE VALUABLE.
Now if the Utilities Commission gives the W. r, and
E. Co. MORE relief at YOUR expense it must also grant
the same measure of charity the Capital Traction Co.,
which doesn't need it. AND ADD MILLIONS MORE to the
value of the Capital Traction Co. stock.
So there may be few shortsghted folks who believe
that keep the two companies apart will that every
year more and value will be added to the Capital
Traction stock As long the travelling public is willing
to contribute millions of dollars to keep the w. R. and E.
off the rocks the Capital Traction Co. is bound to reap
wonderful harvest.
So perhaps that is why in the midst of practical plans
and real progress relating to consolidation for the PUB
Lie benefit there is the odd reaconary trend here and
there in favor of the old WORKOUT opsded expensive and
unserviceable dual traction system.
The United States Government ought to take these two
roads and run them and day wills In the meantime
for the PUBLIC service let all work toward conso
daton and quit boosting the present ted system which
has served Us so badly.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAN MISS tAlREAA:
Ny husband, who is a Government
clerk, poses as a single man. He is
in a department where there are a
good many girls. Now, ever since
he has been in the department he
has been going with a girl from St.
Louis. She went home a few DAYS
ago, but she writes to him. four
times a week. He told me about
her and said he loved her and did
not love me any more, and wished
I would go away and leave him, so
he could marry her. He abuses me
and makes II unpleasant for me ever
since he met her. What will I do?
Please give me advice.
BROKEN HEARTED. .
Perhaps the best way to meet the
situation, which I agree is a hu-
initiating one, is to endeavor to
feel that your husband is only tenn
poFarily infatuated with the young
st. Louis girl, as is no doubt the
case, and absolutely ignore the ex-
istence of the AFFAIR, which will
probably wear itself out in a short
time, when absence makes the
heart grow fonder"-of some one
else. His posing as a single man
is q very foolish thing for him to
do, aside from its being contemp-
tihly disloyal, as he must be we'll
known to many Of his co-workers
in the department as q married
man.
