CEDAR GREEK.

William Becker, secretary and man
ager of the Cedar Creek Mining &
Development company, went over to
the mine yesterday for the purpose of
inspecting operations and possibly to
make some changes with the view to
speeding up development. Since Sc
curing electric power for the COM
pressor. work has been taken up in
the east drift, which is following the
foot wall. A report by telephone from
the mine the first of the week stated
that there was a good three feet of
excellent ore in the face, and also
much ore of lower grade. This shoot
has now been proved for several hum
dred feet on No. tunnel level as
we'll as for $50 feet above to No. 2
level. and it is proposed to extend the
drift east at least 100 feet further and
crosscut to the hanging wall to deter
mine the width of the shoot. This
work will be followed by sinking 200
feet from No. level at a point 200 or
200 feet back from the face. These
plans are being carried out with the
view to having the mine in good shape
n provide tonnage for the mill which
viii be constructed during the com
ing year.

jim BLAINE CROSSCUT
NOT FAR FROM THE VEIN
PINE CREEK DEVELOPMENT EN-
TERPRISE-oTHER CON-
PANIES ACTIVE.

The long lower crosscut tunnel on
the property of the Jim Blaine Silver
Syndicate, located on Pine creek. is
nearing the Jim Blaine vein, according
, to a statement by officials of the COM
pany this week Stringers of quartz,
well mineralized were encountered dur
ing the past few feet and the face o
the crosscut now shows several o
these stringers which are thought t.
branch out from the main ledge. In
the upper levels of the property tho
Jim Blaine lead shows a width of over
10 feet and carries values in lead, sill
yer and zinc. The present work will
open the vein at vertical depth of
over 400 feet and by continuing the
drift a depth Of over 1000 feet can be
secured by the time a point is reached
beneath the outcroppings. Develop
ment work has continued steadily on
the property for the past two years
The company owns a group of q
claims the holdings comprising
consolidation of the Jim Blaine, Bris-
toll and Chesapeake groups The pres
ent working tunnel will reach all three
of the veins in the above named groups
and it is the intention of. the manage
ment to continue the crosscut to the
Bristol, as well as prosecute the drift
on the Jim Blaine vein.
Other Properties Active.
The Jim Blaine is one of numerous
companies that combine to make Pine
creek the scene of much mining activ-
ity, while all indications point to
renewal of operations by numerous
companies now idle. The improved
zinc situation has had a most bene-
fetal effect upon Pine creek, while the
establishment of the electrolytic zinc
plant at Kellogg by the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan company, construction of
which it is believed will begin at no
distant date, insures a permanent local
market for zinc ores. These favorable
conditions, together with the already
known large tonnage, place Pine creek
in a position to supply traffic for
railroad which can not be much long
err ignored. to say nothing of the pos
sibilities of traffic from the lumber in
terests on the west fork.

BEAVER CREEK RICH
MINERAL RESOURCES
FIELD FOR CAPITAL
Deposits of Lead-Silver and
Zinc--Deep Crosscut for
Sunset Mine Probable

NE OF THE most inviting
sections for mining develop
ment in the Occur d'Alene
district is Beaver creek, which
includes the north slope of Sunset
peak. Although much has been done
over there in the way of development
work and much ore has been exposed,
the unfavorable condition of the zinc
market for the past two or three years
has discouraged mining activity. 1t
would be a mistake, however, to as
sumo that the future of that section
depends altogether on the market for
zinc. for lead-silver ore is an equally
important resource and on the whole
probably predominates over zinc, but
its association with zinc has operated
to prevent its receiving the attention
it merits. Unlike most sections which
have been slow to secure capital for
development, Beaver creek is provid-
ed with railroad transportation. a
branch of the O.-W. r. & n. extend
ing to the heart of the section, while
good roads make it easily accessible
TO motor vehicles. The great produc-
tive veins which have made Canyon
creek and Nine Mile famous cross
Beaver creek in their course to the
northwest and give every evidence Of
! eing as productive when systematic

elements that are essentially charac-
teristic of those who dwell in the min
ing districts of the west. Neverthe-
less as the old year draws to a close it
is both interesting and profitable to
recall some of the outstanding events
which have combined to make the re-

pose the files of the Miner combine to
make a valuable and reliable reference

FIRST HALF OF YEAR
REDEEMED BY LAST
IDLE MINES RESUME
Metal Prices Rapidly Ad-
vance--Higher Wages Bring
in Plenty of Men for Mines

A LTHOUGH the year now about
~ to close will pass into history
as one of the few lean ones
which have afflicted the Occur
dAlene district in many years, it must
be said to its credit that the last half
witnessed a change that did much to-
ward redeeming it's earlier record
About April 1 the price of lead, which
for months had seemed fixed at An
cents, showed evidence of returning
vitality by advancing a few points and
from week to week continued to ad-
vance until by July l it had passed
the 6-cent point. This with the es-
tablished price of silver at 81 per
ounce had a revivifying influence up
on the mining industry. Idle mines
showed unmistakable signs of return
ing activity and on July 1 the lamar
ack and Hercules announced a re-
sumption of production. In the mean
time zinc followed the lead of lead and
had advanced to a point that on Sep
TENDER 1 brought official announce
ment that the Callahan, the big zinc
producer two years down, would re-
sumo production, which it did on Oc-
tober 1.

Add to these the number en-
ployed on leases, by smaller pro-
ducing mines and development
operations scattered all over the
district, amounting to probably
1000 men. and the grand total for
the district is 1900, which it is be-
lieved is a conservative estimate.

OUTLOOK FOR MINING IN 1928
MORE THAN 1000 MEN ARE
NOW ON THE PAYROLLS OF
THE COEUR D'ALENE MINES

The close of the year finds the
mining companies of the Occur
d'Alene district giving employ
ment to a large number of men at
high wages, condition that
means prosperity for the business
community. Following is a relia-
BILE estimate of the number en-
ployed by the several larger COM
panies:

HIGH WAGES PREVAIL IN
THE coEUR D'ALENEs AND
GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS

Employees of the mines in the
Occur dAlenes receive the highest
wages paid in the west for similar
work and the working conditions
are unexcelled Following is the
schedule Of wages for all classes of
labor in mines and mills:
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1922-12-28
Wages Advance.

These metal prices followed by an
nounced resumption of large mining
operations were hailed with much sat
isfaction by the people of the district,
but the real benefits were slow in be-
ing realized on account of the shortage
of men for the mines already SER
ious problem in the district and made
more acute by the demand for men to
supply the mines restored to activity.
With characteristic fairness, the OPP
orators of the district met the situa-
ton by announcing an increase of
wages on September 90 effective on
October 1, increasing the wages of the
miners from s4.25 to $3.50 per day
and adding bonus of so cents day
to the wages of all underground and
surface men at the mines and the en-
ployes Of mills and smelter. This COM
mendable move, together with the ap-
proach of winter resulted at once in
attracting men for all classes of labor
to the district, and the close of the
year finds the mines generally supplied
with men, the output almost normal
business throughout the district good,
and all classes facing the new year
confident that it will bring the fullest
measure of prosperity.
New Mines Come In.
One of the most gratifying features
of the old year has been the success
that has rewarded efforts to develop
new mines. Among these may be
which
under direct operation of the company
has presented conclusive evidence of a
large and deep-seated body of high
grade lead silver ore.
The Galena, now the property Of
the Callahan Zinc-Lead company has
Responded to development in a man
~ that gives unmistakable evidence
becoming a large producer of lead
fer ore. a consummation that will
IN follow now that this strong fin
ancial organization has taken over the
property.
Lookout Mountain may safely be
classed as one of the new mines of the
district credited to the closing year
It's remarkable ore body high grade
lead silver in the heart of the Pine
creek zinc belt, was one of the sensa-
tional discoveries of the year. and
while the company is not now ship
ping, the ore body has been proved
and simply awaits the opening of
deeper level.
The list of new mines includes one
on the North Side, which will become
a shipper the coming year. This Is
Cedar Creek, which already has
large tonnage of lead-silver and zinc
ore and which is being steadily in
creased by systematic development
This work is in preparation for mill
which the company will build in the
spring.
Success Comes Back.
Although an old producer Success
may properly be classed among the
new mines brought in during the year
For years idle on account Of the low
price of zinc, the discovery of a new
ore body on the main tunnel level has
practically made it a new mine inde-
pendent of possibilities for production
from the old and deep workings The
discovery attracted more attention
than any other for many years and

Atlanta 5 Su7grave Guests

vt will be Atlanta's rare good fortune to
have as visitors this week the distin-
guished delegation from Canada, Great
Britain and Australia who are sojourning
in America as guests Of this country's branch
Of the Sulgrave Institution.
Among the names most cherished by heirs
Of Anglo-Saxon tradition, that of Sulgrave is
peculiarly honored on both sides of the At
lantic, and on this -ide peculiarly dear. 1t
designates the manor in Northamptonshire
England, which was George Washington'e
ancestral home. Some years ago, when the
historic estate was falling into neglect, a
group Of public-spirited English men and
women purchased 1t as a memorial to the
seat American whose forbears 1t had nur-
tured, and as part, moreover, OF project
ed celebration Of the approaching centen-
NAL of peace among Englsh-speaking peo-
pies. Plans for this latter were broken into
by the World War, but the idea lost nothing
either in merit or in breadth and warmth OF
appeal. Rather, it waxed In potency and
splendour as the youth Of America and
Britain, of Canada and Australia, fought arm
to arm on fiery fields for common faith
and heritage. The close of the war found
the Sulgrave Institution established not in
form only, but in the very hearts of those the
earth around whose racial and spiritual kin
hedge in its purpose to foster understanding
and good will and peace; but beginning with
it's own far-circling family it hopes to reach
at last the nations all.
Among many educational and social modes
Of advancing this generous ideal is the inter-
change of visits by representative groups
from the several countries comprised. In the
present instance it Is a delegation from Great
Britain, Australia ant Canada that come as
guests Of the American Sulgrave Institution.
Atlanta is peculiarly honored in having been
chosen as one Of the seven cities of the
United States to be visited by the eminent
party, this distinction being. shared with Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
Richmond, and Norfolk. Let the Gate City
of the South manifest her appreciation not
alone through the prepared programs Of en-
tertainment but by hearty expressions Of the
community's welcome on every hand. There
appears elsewhere in The Journal a full ac-
count OF when and how the visitors will be
received and Of the part which public, as we'll
well as particular hosts, will play in these
most interesting plans. 1t will be an occasion
to call forth Atlanta's keenest, most garcious
enthusiasm, and to be cherished among her
happiest memories.

Would Bewilder G. Washington

In "Our Changing Constitution" Double
day-Page) Charles w. Pierson comments
thus on the greatest change:
could Washington Madison and the other
trainers Of the federal constitution revisit the
earth in this year Of grace 1922, it is likely
that nothing would bewilder them more than
the recent prohibition amendment.
Railways, steamships, the telegraph the
telephone, automobiles, flying machines, SUBJ
marines-all these developments of science
unknown in thir day. would fill them with
amazement and admiration.
'They would marvel at the story Of the
rise and downfall Of the German empire; at
the growth and present greatness Of the Re-
public they themselves had founded
"None of these things, however, would
seem to them to involve any essential change
in the belief and purposes of men as they had
known them.
"The prohibition amendment, on the con-
trary, would evidence to their minds the
breaking down Of a principle of government
which they had deemed automatic, the aban-
donment of a purpose which they had sup
posed innumerable."
And if we must follow Washington to
splendid isolation, why not on temperance?

The Degradation Of the T;;6
lille railing at the stupid custom Of

lille railing at the stupid custom Of
M Tipping we rarely stop to con-
slider that there hardly ever is any
real tipping done, these days. The spirit of
the "tip" has gone by the board with other
spirits.
The degradation Of what we now call the
tip could hardly be more graphically illus
trated than by the story of the American
and his wife who, through oversight or mis-
understanding, left British hotel without
tipping anybody but the hall porter and the
chambermaid. The head waiter, the impor-
tant functionary in the modern hostelry, sent
letter to the wife denouncing her husband
as having done "a disgraceful thing" and
promising to post their names with his club
and association" so that every hotel in Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales may know
your name and the ungenerous way you
treated the staff of this hotel" This is in
dicative of what the tip, once a largess gladly
given for some bit Of personal service, has
become.
If you desire to study the modern tip at
it's nadir of meaninglessness, consider the
hat boy at restaurant. There Is no sug-
gestion of personal service here. AS a mat
ter of fact, you would be better pleased
merely to install your hat on rack your
self and pick it out when you depart. The
hat boy is there simply to collect a tax from
the average man, who has not the courage
to withhold it. He does not give the boy
tip because the boy has not done anything
for him. He comes across" for only one
reason--he is afraid of what the boy will
think Of him If he doesn't.
The result Of this attitude is the debase-
ment of the tip to the exaction of fixed
due or tax, not in any way a reward for
special service or exemplary zeal in regular
service.
The tip has sunk to mere exaction; a
type of extortion on petty scale; stupid
habit: an irksome gesture.
The best thing we could do for the tip,
and the only thing that we are certain not
to do, is to abolish it completely and allow
the entire matter of personal service and its
ramifications to remain in statu quo until its
aecretions of stupid habit and general mean
ingless have been shaken off and the original
inspiration of the tip-special zeal or extra
service-has returned.
