Unexpected Death Causes Many Ex-
pressions of Sorrow.
The news of the death of William
Wallace, which occurred at North
port Wash. about 10 days ago. was
received with expressions of sincere
regret by many friends in this city
and district Although still a young
man. he was nevertheless a pioneer of
this district having arrived on the
North Side in the early sos and sub
sequently made his home at Mullan
He gave his attention to mining ex-
clusively and was not only a practical
miner but was capable of directing
large underground mining operations.
The last position of this nature he held
was foreman of the Tarbox. After
leaving the Tarbox he was associated
with r. c. Vanderford, another pio-
neer of this district in a mining en-
terprise near NOrthport where his
death occurred following an opera
ton for appendicitis He was buried
in Spokane

Marines Get Many Recruits.

Recruiting for the marine corps is
rapidly increasing and is expected to
reach the highest peace time point for
midsummer recruiting this month. Be
fore the war 500 men a month was
considered a fair average for the
smallest of the three branches of the
service, and the present indications
are that the August figures will cas-
lily double that number. according to
a Washington dispatch.
The marine corps is now recruited
to about co per cent of its authorized
strength of 274OO and at the present
rate of progress will reach the maxi
mum number within a few months.
While the passing of the pay and
bonus bills have had a stimulating
effect on enlistments. recruiting offic-
ers believe that the educational ad-
vantages now offered to marines are
leading large numbers to enlist.

DOCTORS FEES.
County Medical Men Agree on New

Schedule OF Prices.
The ShOshOne County Medical So
ciety has just issued a schedule OF
fees to be charge for all manner OF
ailments to which flesh is heir and
also for all other services for which
la physician or surgeon may be called
or consulted. Through this action the
doctors of the county. all of whom are
members of the Shoshone County
Medical society. will be governed by
a schedule of prices which will be
posted conspicuously in their respect
i've offices. Heretofore there has been
more or less variation in the charges,
and it is to harmonic these as well
as to make a general increase in the
fees corresponding to the advancing
cost of medical and surgical supplies,
that the new schedule has been adopt
ed by the county society. DR.. Quigley,
president of the society. states that
the new prices are considerably be-
low those that prevail in Missoula and

Contract Let for so Feet and Addi-
tonal Work Will Follow.
The Clear Grit Mining company has
returned to the active list after a
long period of idleness due to war
conditions. A contract has been let
to James King of Burke, to drive so
feet ON the vein and upon the COM
pletion of this contract arrangements
viii be made to continue development,
probably under contract AS a pre-
liminary Mr.. King is now engaged in
putting the camp in shape and making
necessary repairs underground. The
Clear Grit is situated about half way
between Delta and the North Fork
and about half a mile from the Bea-
yer creek railroad. The property has
a remarkable surface showing, the
outcrop being probably so feet wide
or more and shows much lead silver
ore, samples of which are said to have
carried 20 per cent lead. However.
development work to date has failed
to find ore of commercial value. al
though all conditions are favorable.
The vein that is now being drifted
on has about five feet of quartz and
iron, with some lead and silver values,
lying between a syenite dixie and
Burke quartzite. The president of the
company is DR. +. c. Rood. of Walla

MAJESTIC.
Start New Tunnel That Will Give
Great Depth.

Great Depth.
James Dunno of Burke, president
and manager of the Majestic Mining
company, was in the city last Satur-
day During the summer work was
largely confined to the construction of
good trail up Humboldt gulch, from
the wagon road just above the Dom
Paul to the site of the new tunnel that
has just been started, the distance be-
ing about two miles. A new cabin has
also been built, blacksmith shop and
all other arrangements completed for
steady development The new tunnel
Mr.. Dunno says will explore the Ma
jestc groundd 1900 feet deeper than
the present tunnel and at a depth Of
1000 feet from the surface. The Ma
jestic company owns 10 patented
claims forming a compact group hav-
ing the length of four claims and the
width OF three, while the thirteenth
claim projects from the southwest
corner of the main group extending
down to the Ajax. The International
forms the boundary on the south. Be
sides the vein that has been exposed
by shaft and open cuts as well as in
the tunnel on the Majestic, it is prob
able that other veins pass through
the ground. all of which will be in
tersected by the extension of this deep
tunnel that has now been started. Mr..
Dunno says the plan is to continue the
work during the winter. This tunnel
viii be large and designed to meet the
requirements of a permanent working
tunnel when the Majestic becomes a
mine.

BELL IS OPTIMISTIC
REGARDING RED BIRD
SOON HAVE MILL ON PROPERTY
OIL AND GAS SOUGHT IN
SOUTH IDAHO.

Friends Of Robert ~ Bell, stat,
mine inspector, will be pleased t.
learn that he regards the outlook fol-
the successful operation of the Red
Bird mine in Custer county, which
he has under bond and lease, as very
promising. Also that George and
William Snow well known in this dis
trict where they were connected with
mining operations for many years
are in line TO share in the profits OF
the enterprise through an arrange
ment through which they will place a
5O-ton mill on the property. That
Mr.. Bell is very sanguine re-
garding the future Of the mine is in
dcated by the following extract from
a recent letter to a friend in this city.
Success Missed Bargain.
81 shall be out of Office on the first
of January, and if Red Bird does not
take up all my time l shall be fully
occupied in geologic work on oil and
gas and other mineral development
features. The Red Bird enterprise is
looking well. The Snow brothers have
all the machinery for a 5O-ton mill
on the ground and expect to have it
in operation by the first of October
The mine has produced 100000 gross
since ! had it under option for the
Success Mining company through
small hand leasing units gouging af-
ter rich ore, and during that time has
paid the Red Bird company over
$4,000 in royalties / have a three
year lease and an option TO purchase.
and | think that we shall demonstrate
that the Success missed bargain
when they did not take mp that enter
prise"
Oil and Gas.
Regarding the Investigations of the
oil and gas resources of southern Ida
no made during the past summer 10y
DR. Buwalda, of the United states
geological survey Mr. Bell who CO.
operated in the work says: Or Blu
walda finished his survey of the ter
rtory extending from Weiser TO
Mountain Home and south to The
Owyhee range on August "a and left
for his home in Yakima for brief
visit before returning east He ex-
poets to have a bulletin giving the
result of his gas and oil investiga-
tons in this part of the state early
next year Upon my request he went
with me to Goose creek and Raft
river in Cassia county. for the reason
that there are two big standard rigs
working there. However. they have
found nothing so far but a very
strong flow of artesian water"
Mr. Bell further stated that Dr.
Buwalda expects to continue his in
vestigations of oil and gas prospects
in southern Idaho next year. when he
will probably cover the territory
south of Twin Falls. where it is un-
derstood that indications of oil have
been found in the course of drilling
wells for water
