THE MONTPELIER THEATRE
Mr. Edison wanted to prove to
tho music-lovers of Montpelier
that his new monograph repro
duced the art of great artists with
perfect realism The test he made
was dramatic,-even spectacular.
Marion Evelyn Cox sent here by
Mr. Edison, stood beside the New
Edison and sang. Suddenly she
stopped singing The New Edison
took up the song and sang it
alone. The living voice and its
Recreation by the New Edison
were thus directly compared. The
human ear could detect no differ
ence between living voice and Re-
Created voice. 1t was both the
test and the proof. And the proof
marked a new epoch in music.

NATIONAL COPPER PLANS
FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
AGREE ON MOVEMENT TO
SEEK ORE BODIES.

The National Copper Mining COM
pany will resume development work
at once. This was decided at meet
ing of the directors and stockholders
Tuesday night at which August Paul
sen, president of the corporation,
presided. Charles McKinnis, secre-
tary, was also present, together with
a number of the leading stockholders.
The first work undertaken will be
a continuation of the crosscut on the
1000-foot level to reach an objective
some 800 feet distant, where it Is
thought an ore body will be uncover
ed. From this point it is proposed to
drift on the lead. Another crosscut
is to be started from the same level
to explore an area of virgin ground
in which engineers have stated they
believed commercial ore to exist. Thls
will be a continuation of the crosscut
under way when the property closed
down.
The recommendations of a we'll
known geologist and engineer OF Butte
are to be followed in this search for
new ore bodies in the National
ground, his report being approved by
the stockholders at the meeting on
Tuesday night.
Has Ample Funds.
The National stopped work last
August after carrying on exploration
work as deep as the 1900 level. Slopes
were operated on the 1900 level When
operations ceased the company had a
cash balance in the treasury of $751;
205.73, which is available for the work
now proposed.
A careful and detailed study Of the
mine has been made by a Butte firm
Of engineers, who have advised the
expenditure ef~additional funds In de-
Iyelopment work. Local stockholders
have long been Of the opinion that
more work should be done and the
present announcement has been well
received, President Paulsen being In
hearty accord with the proposed pro-
gram.
IT is understood work will begin as
soon as capable crew of miners car
he assembled.

ANT|MONY MINES PLAN

PED-MUCH ORE IN
SIGHT.

Announcement was made this week
that plans We're under way for a re-
sumption of activities at the Coeur
d Alene Antimony Mining companys
property on Pine creek. The steady
upward tendency in the market has
caused a cleanup ON available stocks
and the supply is said to have reach
ed low proportions. Curtaiment of
foreign shipments Is accountable for
the condition, it is reported. Chinese
ore is not coming to this country ow-
ing to disturbed conditions in that
country closing down the mines. The
high price of silver Is also playing an
! important part with the miners in the
orient, while the cost of production in
the labor line has taken big upward
leap.
/ Antimony dealers are now looking
to the American mines for their sup
ply and are reported to be in the mar
ket for large quantities of the metal
Big Tonnage in Sight.
The Occur dAlene Antimony com
pany's property Is one of the old
mines Of the district and has produc-
ed a large tonnage of high grade ore
much of which was shipped crude tc
the smelters. The property is now
equipped with a concentration of 100
tons daily capacity, containing crush
er, jigs and tables, while flotatior
plant has lately been installed. The
management now proposes to grint
the ore fine and treat it by flotatior
processes, experiments carried on by
government agents by this process
returning a close saving in values.
The mine contains a large tonnage
ready for stopping, the ore body show
ing width of three to five feet. a
large amount of mill feed is also con-
tanned in the ore bins, ready for treat
ment as soon as active operations be
gin.

uncertainty occasioned by shortage
of help and labor disturbances.
More men have been coming to the
district during the past month than
for long time previous. Most OF
them state they have been working
on the coast, a majority in the ship
wards. Some state that hundreds OF
idle men are now walking the streets
Of the coast towns, while many more
expect to be idle within the next few
weeks. The mining districts OF the
west can absorb large quantity OF
this labor. and especially will the ex-
