AS an indication of mining activity
in the mineral zones tributary to
Grangeville we may mention the fact
that Chester Arnold this week shipped
700 feet of air pipe to be used by the
Idaho Central Gold Mining company, In
ventilating its underground workings.
Since last July teams have been hauling
in winter supplies for this company,
which is operating under the manage
ment of Joseph Pelikan at claims near
old Buffalo Hump town, and from such
reports as have leaked out development
work now being conducted indicates
permanence of the ore body shown on
the surface. These mining activities
in the central Idaho mineral belts are a
source of direct benefit to the state as
a basis of industrial development.
A nation IS store of mineral deposits
is a national asset whose value cannot
easily be over estimated. In his recent
report to the president, the secretary
of the interior, in speaking of the assets
of this country gave the mineral re-
sources first rank under the suggestive

JIM REED, LOCAL
FIGHTER, WINS BOUT

Jim Reed, a Grangeville boxer won
Ground bout from Young McFadden
of Spokane, at Lewiston, last Friday
night By winning the bout, Reed is
qualified to meet Sailor Lawson, to con
test the fistic championship of the In
land empire.
Reed knocked McFadden down five
times to the count. McFadden was on
the ropes several times, but was bolster
ed up by his admirers and forced back
into the game.
Local fans who witnessed the bout,
say that the first round was a draw, and
in each of the five other rounds Reed
had the best of it, except possibly in the
third. Reed was finally awarded the
decision.
Reed, who is now in Grangeville, as
serted he got a "rotten deal" in
Lewiston. Reed says he is ready to
meet Lawson at any time.

IDAHO CENTRAL COMPANY IN
BIG WORK ON BUFFALO HUMP

dustrial growth that mineral resources
loom largest. Self-centered independ
ence and world wide participation in
commerce must come through the full
est use of the precious and essential
minerals. So far as the central Idaho
mineral regions are concerned, we are
yet at the very threshold of the indus
trial life of the republic, and the mine
raj industries will undoubtedly largely
contribute to the era of industrial de-
velopment to which the broken and
bankrupt world is hopefully looking
forward
The construction of highways into
the mining districts has been largely
instrumental in inviting development
of our central Idaho regions, and hence
forth we may look forward with conf
dence to a revival of the mining in
dustry in our local fields.
