DISTRICT JUDGSHlP.

1t is expected that Governor Davis
will soon appoint a judge to preside
over the first judicial district to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge w w. Woods. The governor
has been urged to fill this vacancy
without delay. as there are numerous
criminal and civil cases on the calen-
dar awaiting trial. and besides the
absence of a judge in the district
causes much inconvenience in the
execution of legal processes outside of
the regular procedure in open court.
There are three applicants for the
position, all of whom are understood
to have strong endorsements They
are James Z. clyde and A. H. Feather
stone, of this city and r. r. Morgan,
of Kellogg.

THE METAL MARKET.

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. in its review of the metal market
for the week ending November 10,
finds little of a cheering nature in the
metal situation 1t notes the reduc-
ton of the A. s. & r. price of lead
first to cents and now to 61k cents
and in spite of the concession in price
it remarks that Tess lead has been
sold during the last few days than
for some time" The zinc situation
is worse than lead, and according to
the Journal demand has been even
weaker than usual daily concessions
in price being made to attract pur-
chasers. On the other hand, many
zinc producers refuse to sell at cur
rent prices. Summing up the market
conditions in general, the Journal
says:
Reports of further price cutting in
various industries and a decided
slump in the stock market have made
the metal market weaker during the
last week, and it is difficult to find
note of optimism Costs now have
absolutely no bearing on prices. and.
the fact that zinc and copper are SELL
ing below the present cost of produc-
ton does not make them a bargain in
the eyes of possible buyers. The bet
ter feeling which we reported last
week seems TO have been largely a
sentimental one following the election.
It is now the general opinion that bet
Ter prices can hardly be expected be-
lore next spring"

DEATH OF A PIONEER.
James r. Wood Came to Occur
d'Alenes in 1888.

James X. WOOD came to Occur
d'Alenes in 1888.
In the death of James r. Wood in
this city last Monday, one OF the early
pioneers of the Occur d'Alene district
passed away Mr.. Wood arrived at
Eagle in 1888 and for many years was
actively engaged in mining. A native
OF Pennsylvania, he went to Califor-
mia i'm 1870 and was in Nevada when
the news of the rich gold discoveries
on Prichard creek reached him. He
started at once for the new diggings
and arrived in time to secure valuable
placer ground which he worked sue
cessfully. Later he gave his attention
to quartz mining, but lack of trans
portation on the North Side was a
barrier to securing capital necessary
to make his holdings profitable. The
remains were removed to Murray
where burial took place with Masonic
honors Mr. Wood was a brother of
Lyman Wood. who died a few months
ago. The body of James r. Wood
rests beside that of his father Eli c.
Wood, in the little cemetery at Muir
ray where so many sturdy pioneers
have found their final rest

In the bottom of the shaft there is
about 10 feet of the vein that carries
considerable values in lead and sill

liable water right and electric power
plant
From the standpoint of the Federal
the settlement also appears to have
been advantageous. If the company
had finally been successful in proving
its right to the east vein" the devel-
opment of it and equipment for pro-
duction would involve a great ex-
pense. In addition to the cash CON
sideration Of S75OOOO which the Fed
eral receives. it is presumed. without
any official information on the sub
ject. that the ore from the disputed
and Tiger Poorman ground viii be
shipped to the smelters of the Ameri-
can Smelling K Refining company of
which the Federal is a subsidiary
company
Position of Marsh
What will be the fate of the Marsh
in the final adjustment is a question
that is being much discussed. From
the time il first became known that
Marsh. working under the lease from /
the Federal had discovered what was |
alleged TO be the apex of the east |
vein" of the Hecla on the Russell I
claim. there has been much trading in
Marsh stock the price at one time
advancing to AZ cents upon the belief
that it would share in large profits
upon final proof that its apex conten-
ton was correct The fact that the
Hecla company made a compromise
settlement with the Federal does not
carry with it the conclu-
sion that Hecla conceded the apex to
be in the Russell claim. This is a q
point in the settlement upon which c
both parties are significantly silent ]
The deeds from Federal to Hecla for y
both the Russell and Mono Fraction q
claims and the Tiger Poorman group 2
are of course executed subject to the e
lease held by Marsh and that com n
pany is privileged to proceed under its b
terms without interference from Hec- III
Ia. While the Marsh seems to have p
been ignored in the negotiations be b
tween the Federal and Hecla. now il
hat the main issue has been settled al

FEDERAL HAS RICH MINE
WOOD RIVER DISTRICT
THE INDEPENDENCE HAS HIGH
GRADE LEAD
ENGINEERING FEAT.

Returning from a trip to the Wood
river district recently. Robert n. Bell
state mine inspector, gave a Boise pa
per an interesting account of mining
operations in that section What he
has to say OF the independence mine
is of special interest in this section, as
it is owned and operated by the Fed
eral Mining & Smelling company, as
is also the North Star.
The Independence mine. says Mr..
Bell is at present the most important
operation of the district 1t provides
employment for IS men and has been
yielding y to 10 tons of high grade
concentrates and crude ore for several
months.
The Independence carries the rich
est slver-lead ore in the district. II
has been subjected to vigorous devel-
opment for several months past with
competent management and is in bet
ter condition and has larger ore re-
sources than at any time in its his
tory.
Use North Star Mill.
This old plant has been handling 40
TO so tons of ore a day with probably
the smallest volume of water of any
milling operation in the state. The
water is settled and used over again
several times and the stream from
which it comes is so small that it will
not run after severe freezing weather
sets in.
The company has driven tunnel to
the Independence from the North Star
mine. The tunnel will provide an out
let for the independence to the new
North Star mill on East Fork, which
was built several years ago for the
treatment of the complex lead-zinc !
ore of the North Star mine and is be- |
ing readjusted The mill viii be in
shape soon to handle 200 tons. which !
it is believed the Independence can |
supply
Fine Engineering Feat.
The two mines have been success
fully connected through the lower or
Pummer tunnel on the North star
mine by a crosscut several thousand |
feet long and very substantially |
timbered four compartment raise sit
uated well back in the foot wall of the
Independence vein and carried up on
a uniform pitch of 60 degrees, where
it comes out i'm the floor of the 600
foot shaft level of the Independence
vein exactly where it was designed to
break through.
This is a result of engineering ac-
ouracy in mine survey well worthy Of
note in view of the fact that il in
volved a crooked traverse 1900 feet
long, in and out of both mines and
over the high intervening mountain
divide. With the advantage of the
new Star mill and very substantial
mine plant equipment and nearer
facilities down the val
ey of East Fork to Gimlet station the

/ larger scale than any other prop
rty in the history of Wood river mi

recaution has been taken against
