wealth. Recalling the hardship, pri-
walton and arduous labor of many
years broken and made bearable on
ly by bright dreams of wealth, the
speaker pointed to this as a striking
example of a dream coming true. Mr..
Callahan emphasized the importance
and necessity of loyalty TO our local
industry, to encourage the investment
of capital in mining enterprises. and
TO the investment of local money in
the development of local mines. This
is the greatest lead zinc district in
the west, and the people living here
should make its resources known. The
speaker gave figures showing the
production of the Callahan mine and
referred to its high rating as an in
vestment security on the New York
stock exchange
Hull Hits Back.
H. }. Hull. prosecuting attorney of
Shoshone county devoted a few pre-
liminary remarks to a good natured
reply to some pleasantries INDUCED in
by the POSTMASTER with reference 10
his qualification as juryman. a col
loquy which provoked much amuse-
ment and in which the honors were
about even. In serious vein Mr.
Hull dwelt upon the necessity of
systematic attention to the improve
ment of social conditions i'm the dis
trict a matter in which the mine OPP
orators and the people should cooper
ate and which would prove to the ad-
vantage Of all.
Borg and the Piccoo Player.
John Borg. director of the Gala
han and a prominent stock broker Of
New York, compared his ability as
speaker to that of an alleged piccolo
player in Chicago. who. failing to
make a sound on his instrument was
branded as a bum" by a Disguised
auditor This so incensed a friend of
the unfortunate musician that he de
manded to know who applied the in
sulting epithet to which came the re-
tort that it was a matter of no con
sequence who called him a Dunn" /
what we want to know is who in h.
called him piccolo player?" How /
ever in spite of self disparagement /
Mr.. Borg gave a very interesting talk /
on the value of advertising the min
eral resources of the Occur d'Alene /
district and the manner in which this .
can be accomplished The average
New Yorker he said. has no concep-
ton of the bigness of our country. his
idea being that the Hudson river is
the western boundary of the United
States What the mining districts
need is for these men to gain cor
rect idea of what is doing in the
mines and the opportunities for min
ing investment and the money will be
forthcoming for mining development
