Mine Has Been unwatsred in Pre-
p~aration for inspection.
1t was learned from Mullan parties
this week that the Idaho Carbonate
Hill has been unwatered for the pur-
pose OF permitting an inspection by
an engineer from Los Angeles. Work
was suspended on the Idaho Carbon
ate Hill some two months ago, after
the shaft had been sunk 400 feet and
much exploratory work accomplished,
which resulted in finding a very
promising shoot of lead silver ore
averaging 5 or 6 feet in width and
which was drifted upon for about leo
feet. The property Is under bond to
W. d. Greenough, who has expended
a large sum in development work.
This has proved very satisfactory,
and 1t Is believed that the examina-
ton now being made is for the purpose
of further financing the enterprise.
The showing on the 400 level has the
appearance of a large and perman-
ent ore body. After work was sus-
pended the vein was prospected a
considerable distance below the level
by diamond drills.

THE BOARD OF TRADE
IN A FIGHTING MOOD
CONTINUED from Page ~

The Wallace and Enaville motor
service was established upon the re-
commentator of w. r. Skey soon AFT
ter he became district freight and
passenger agent of the O.-W. r. & N.
with headquarters in this city. 1t Is
distinctly recalled that the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Skey was strenu-
ously opposed by Superintendent
Connolly and the service was finally
established over his protest. 1t vas
upon Mr., Skey's urgent recommends
ton that the company placed the
train shed the full length of the de-
pot platform, and this great improve
ment for the benefit of patrons of
the company was vigorously oppos-
ed by Superintendent Connolly. His
attitude now in respect to the bug
service is characteristic of what 1t
has always been toward improve
ments of the service in this district,
and unfortunately his obstructive
seems to meet the approval of
those higher up. But this will not
prevent the wallace board of trade
from continuing the fight for the SER
vice which the members feel the
city and district are entitled.
