LABOR SITUATION IS
GETTING BETTER
Also the Market for

proving
ZINC OUTLOOK is GOOD
Opinion of Senator w. A.
Clark---Assessment Work
Help to Local Business

"HE producing mines Of the
district are still more or less
handicapped by shortage
of labor having reference
particularly to experienced miners.
but altogether there is de-
cided Improvement in the situation
as compared with that of a few months
ago. In spite of the fact that men are
continually quitting their jobs and
leaving the district the number COM
ing in and taking employment is in
result being that the mines are stead
lily increasing their forces and one or
two are reported to have all the men
they need, while all are in better
shape than they were a few months
ago Some of them are still far below
normal, but the outlook is decidedly
better. A favorable feature of the sit
seeking employment are of a better
type of citizenship than those who APP
piled earlier in the year. The l. w. w.
element is conspicuous by it's absence,
or If many of that class are in the
mines they are so guarded in their
and methods that their in
fluence is negligible. 1t is expected
that the labor situation will continue
to improve as the season advances,
and when fall approaches men en-
gagged in outdoor work will turn to
the mines for winter employment, thus
solving the labor problem and en-
abling the mines to resume maximum
production and keep development work
in advance of production requirements.

Another feature of the situation
that will have a beneficial effect upon
the business of the district during the
remainder Of the year is the large
amount that must be expended for
labor and supplies in doing assessment
work For three years the law requir-
ing annual assessment work was sus-
pended, and it was chiefly in the in
terest of local labor and business that
congress declined to suspend the law
this year, for tine argument in favor OF
the suspension was just as. strong as
it was in the preceding years. Many
development companies have now lev
led assessments for the purpose of
providing funds to do this work and
many more will have to do so before
the year is out These with the large
of individually owned claims
which must be represented will mean
the expenditure of a large sum in the
district during the next few months,
which will have a perceptible influence
in improving local conditions.

STATE MINE INSPECTOR
ROOBT. n. BELL RET|RREESS
GIVE ATTENTION TO PRIVATE
BUSINESS AFTER LONG AND
cREDITABLE SERVICE.

After sixteen years of service, con-
tinuous with the exception of two
years, Robert n. Bell. state mine in
spector. will retire at the close of the
present term This announcement
was made by Mr. Bell at Boise last
Saturday when he stated that he would
not be a candidate for reelection. Mr..
Bell will continue to make his home
in Boise, where he will maintain an
Office and give his attention to the
practice of his profession as a mining
geologist and engineer. 1t is not sur
prising that Mr. Bell has decided to
retire; the surprising fact is that he
has served the state so long on such
meager compensation compared with
the importance of his duties, the abil-
ity required for their performance and
the value of his service to the state.
The salary of the mine inspector is
5000 per month with allowance for ac-
tual expenses while travelling. He has
of course an office in the capitol, or
will have one when that building is
completed and his clerical assistance
consists of a stenOgrapher but no field
assistant. In spite of this handicap
of small pay and no assistance in the
field. Mr.. Bell has managed to make
annual visits to all mining sections of
the state which means practically
every county, and compile the infor-
nation gathered in his annual reports
which have proved a most important
factor in drawing capital to the state
for the development of the mining re-
sources.
Other Publicity.
The reports of Mr.. Bell have been
more than a statistical tabulation of
the results of mining operations which
appeal to those who delight to delve
in cold figures. interviewer with his
description of mining operations, min
ing districts and mining discoveries
is that which newspaper men call
human interest The life of the pros
pector, his strenuous labor and final
reward, a story of real life that never
grows stale. enlivened the pages of
his reports, stirred the imagination and
made them good reading for all classes.
Nor have the publicity efforts of Mr..
Bell been confined to his annual re-
ports. He has been a frequent con-
tributOr to the technical press of the
always dealing with the min
ing industry of Idaho, while the press
Of the state has often received timely
articles on mining subjects of local
interest. In fact Mr.. Bell has been a
consistent booster of the mining in
1ustry of Idaho both as a public Of
fetal and a private citizen, and the
great advance made in mining de-
yelopment and mineral production in
IDAHO during the last twenty years
must be credited in a great measure to |
lis efforts.
Mr.. Bell was first elected mine in
'pector in 1902 and has been reelected |
very two years since that time with !
he exception of 1908, when he was
lot a candidate. He is a lifelong re-
but his personal popularity !
insured his election even when the /
carried the state.

NATIONAL AND OMAHA
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
LOSS AT NATIONAL ESTIMATED
AT s20oO0-MANY MOTORS
BURNED OUT

As if the National had not had
enough grief. the elements of the air
seem to have combined to impose fur
Their hardships upon the unlucky
stockholders of that company. Having
failed to make a dividend payer out
of the mine, the management was look
ing forward to deriving a substantial
sum through the sale of the surface
equipment, of which a complete inven-
tory and appraisement had recently
been made. But a stroke of lightning
interviewed last Sunday morning and
within the twinkling of an eye reduced
the value of available liquid assets to
the extent of about $4,000, a loss that
would have been much heavier except
for the prompt and efficient work of
the Waterman at the mine and the
quick response of the two watchmen
at the mill 1t was about o'clock
when the bolt struck the compressor
building near the portal of the main
tunnel and the building was instantly
in flames Fortunately the company
had made ample provision for fire pro-
lection and the Waterman quickly had
a strong stream of water playing on
the flames The watchmen at the mill
responded promptly to a call for help
and with their assistance the fire was
confined to the compressor and office
building There were two compress
sOrs in the building and a large guam
tity of other equipment and supplies
stored there for safe keeping. The
buildings and contents are reported a
total loss which is estimated at about
500, 600. The insurance will probably
cover half that amount. Through the
excellent work of the watchmen. the
blacksmith and machine shop near by
was saved.
Omaha Also Hit.
Practically at the same moment that
the National received the shock. light
ming also struck the compressor build
ing at the Omaha at Mace, a property
that is owned and is being developed
by August Paulsen. The men had just
gone in the tunnel to begin work and
the first they knew of the catastrophe
was when the electric lights went out.
Returning to the surface they found
the compressor building in flames and
a number of men who live near by
making strenuous efforts to eXtin-
guish or control the fire and they
succeeded in combining it to the com
pressor building. which. however, was
a total loss with its contents. The
manager of the Omaha, O. j.
Olson, was away at the time, being
on fishing trip up the North Fork.
He returned Monday and Tuesday aft
ernoon went to Spokane to confer with
Mr.. Paulsen regarding the restoration
of the plant.
Many Motors Damaged.
George Richardson, local represen- /
tative of the Washington Water Pow /
er company. reports much trouble dur
ing the past week due to the frequent |
electrical storms. The high tension |
wires passing over high mountains are |
very susceptible to the electrically /
charged atmosphere, causing a sudden
and enormous increase in the voltage
which in several cases has burned out
motors and forced a suspension of
mining operations.

Little Samuel Maintains His
Record and Scores Over Lead
ing Chess Players.

New York-On the stage of
the Lexington Opera House last
night, Samuel Rzeszewsky, the
little Jewish chess champion,
simultaneously played twenty Of
the best chess players of num-
Der of states. Of these he won
fifteen and by special adjudica-
ton, drew four and lost one.
Commencing to play at 8::45, the
little champion was persuaded at
midnight to have Frank ]. Mar
shall, United States chess cham
pion, adjudicate over the ten
games which were still in prog
ress and it was Mr.. MarshalPs
award which gave A. Sinchow of
Brownsville the victory over the
little chess genius.
During the course of the eve-
ming Samuel had gold medal
presented to him by the Marshal,
Chess Club for the skillful mar
ner in which he recently solved
some problems set before him.
The announcement that Samuel
had some days ago won game
from Mr.. Marshall, the United
States chess champion, was cir
culated in error, it was stated
yesterday, since Mr.. Marshall
and the little fellow have as yet
had no game.

"The statement of the Jewish
organizations pays some atten-

publication there has appeared a
series of articles assailing the

again arises whether Mr.. Ford or
his utterances deserve even this

JEWRY DENOUNCES AN
IT'S EMITISM IN THIS
{ COUNTRY.
New York q. c. B. Service)-
"A public statement issue
through the American Jewish
Committee and bearing the sigma
lures of the heads Of that Com
mittee, the heads of the Zionist
Organization of America, the
leaders of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, the Union
of Orthodox Jewish Congregations,
the United Synagogue of America,
the Provisional Organization of
the American Jewish Congress,
the Independent Order of B'nai
Birth and the Authorization
League, the Rabbinica1 Seminary
of the Jewish Theological Sem
mary and the United Orthodox
Jewish Rabbis of America, de-
nounces and condemns the intro
duction of anti-Semitism into this
country. The statement which
was made public is prominently
quoted in each of the local daily
publications. The 'sNew York
Times" published the statement
in full and gave it most promi-
nent position. Tn the same issue,
the "New York Times" carries
the following editorial comment
under the head of "The Assail
ants of the Jews"
"It is perhaps unfortunate that
the Jewish organizations whose
officers and representatives sign
the statement we publish today
should have thought it necessary
to make any reply to the ISLANDERS
upon the Jewish race which have
recently been circulated, for the
most part anonymously, in this
and other countries. The ques-
ton often arises whether the as
sailant of an individual, of a par
ty, of race, of a government,
who has not the courage to make
himself known is worth attend
ing to. However, as the members
of the Jewish organizations prob
ably felt that it would be impos-
sible by any process of rebuttal or
otherwise to dignity assaults so
conspicuously lacking in the
quality of dignity, they have de-
cided to give voice to the indigna-
ton these publications naturally
aroused.
