GOOD WORK AT
BETHLEHEM Mine

Carl A. Lowe, a wellknown mining
engineer of the northwestern states,
left here yesterday after having spent
some time at the property of the Beth
lehem Gold Mines where he made a
close examination of the property and
the development work which had been
done and is being planned.
He seems to think that the Bethle-
hem property is destined to be large
producer and said; "If it doesn't make
a mine there is surely no hope for this
district"
Mr.. Lowe stated that there were
all indications of big ore deposits on
the property and that upon his first
visit here over a year ago he could
not help but believe that the property
was a good one. During the past
year about $4,000 has been spent in
development work and Mr.. Lowe told
that this money had been wisely ex-
pended and that the Bethlehem had
one of the best plants of any proper
ty he has visited.
Mr.. Beckley, superintendent of the
property was in town yesterday with
Mr.. Lowe and Mr.. Dudman, the latter
being the president of the Bethlehem
Gold Mines. Ltd, and stated that be-
ginning this month and for the re-
mainder of the season, at least 10 or
Is men would be employed and two
shifts would be worked. The com
pany is now drifting in the lower tun-
mel and will start at work soon in the
Dora and Mable tunnels.
Mr.. Beckley states that the material
for the company's telephone line ar
rived yesterday and that the system
will be constructed at once. In an
other two or three weeks the auto
road to the mine will be in condition
for travel and then visitors will have
an opportunity to see what has beer
done on the Bethlehem Gold Mines
property.
Just as soon as the roads are II
shape a compressor plant will be Ia
ken to the property and installed anC
with machine drills working the devel
opment work will progress mucl
faster.

CITY ELECTION
INTEREST GROWS

Interest in the town election of five
trustees to hold office for two years,

count of the filing of two tickets.
The Progressive" ticket carries the
names of DR.. E. E. Fry, F. A. Shultis,
]. Bert Cowen, Charles O'Callaghan

T. A. Hooker and L. V. Walker The
name of H. B. Kinnear was on the
ticket when filed but he has notified
the town clerk in writing, that his
name was used without his consent
and has demanded that it be taken off
the ticket as he does not want to serve
as a town councilman.
The interest concerning the coming
election to be held Tuesday, April p,
centers around paving as it did two
years ago when some of the candi-
dates were elected on pledges of the
paving of Main street.
The citizens of Boomers Ferry who
we're asked to act as candidates on
the progressive" ticket, are unani-
nous in their intention, II elected, 10

full value for their money They are
anxious to see Main street paved in
such a manner that all other parts OF
town will want paving also.
Each man on the Progressive tick
ct is the owner of Main street property
and are as deeply interested as any
citizen could be in having all parts OF
the town improved in the way of good
streets. They can be depended upon
TO see to it that Boomers Ferry gets
paved streets and that when the paw
ing is put in it will be permanent and
thorough job and there will be some
thing to show for every cent spent

shuItis Returns from Boise Meet

National Bank, returned Tuesday from
Boise where he had been called to at
tend a meeting of the county chairmen
of the fifth Liberty Loan drive. It
was planned at this meeting to fix the
county quotas but when the meeting
was called it was found that this
would result in difficulties as each
county chairman felt that his county
had heretofore been given too large a
sum to raise. 1t was decided to leave
the apportionment in the hands of the
executive committee and Mr.. Shultis
is expecting to hear from the commit
tee any day now He thinks that the
quota for Boundary county will be
lowered somewhat.
Mr.. Shultis states that many county
chairmen went to the meeting with
feeling of apathy and not greatly in
terested whether or not the next drive
was much of a success. The things
the county chairmen learned at the
meeting changed this attitude entire
ly and every man left with determin-
alton to put their county over the top
if possible. Nearly every county OF
the state was represented at the
meeting

Lumber Company, has authorized the
Herald to announce that beginning
this month the Boomers Ferry Lum-
Der Company will pay its employees
twice a month-on the 10th and 25th.
Two pay days a month means that
the company will have a great deal
more clerical work to do but on the
other hand the plan will be a great
convenience to the employees.
Local merchants believe that the
plan of two pay days a month will be
beneficial to them also and are glad
