IDAHO MINES
SHOW SLUMP
METAL MARKETS
ASSIGNED AS CAUSE OF DROP
IN THE VALUES
GOLD PRODUCTION INCREASES
Copper and Silver Production Is Cut
Heavily.

Preliminary reports of the United
States geological survey for 1921 show
that while the value of metals mined
in Idaho for the year dropped more
than so per cent from 1920, the gold
production of the state advanced SILL
500. The largest individual producer
of gold was the Gold Hill & Idaho
Mines company at Quartzburg, in the
Boise basin. The dredge production
of the Yukon Gold company at Murray,
was also large factor in the total for
the state. Dredges nearing completion
in Elmore and Boise counties and
preparations for hydraulic operations
in Boundary county are mentioned in
the report as promising returns for
1922.
The mine output of silver decreased
from 7,326,794 ounces in 1920 to about
5,720,000 ounces in 1921. The Bunker
Hill & Sullivan at Kellogg, the Morn
ing and Heela mines at Burke, the
Independence in Blaine county and the
Ramshorn in Custer county were
specified as increasing their silver out
put for the year, while the Hercules
and Tamarack & Custer mines were
noted as large producers, although
only in operation short time. The
Coeur Sd 'Alene district produced "a
per cent of the silver contributed by
the state.
Mine output of copper decreased
from 2,53S,396 pounds in their previous
year to 1,436,000 pounds in 1921. the
Empire Copper company at Mackay
being the largest producer, although
idle half the year.
Lead fell from 249 500, 1916 pounds in
1920 to about 192,000,000 last year,
while the drop in the value was even
greater than the falling off in amount.
The Coeur dAlene district lead in this
metal also, 1S3,000,000 pounds of the
total being credited to the section.
Blaine, Boundary and Lemhi counties
were accredited with heavy produc-
ton. Rich lead-silver ore was shipped
by the lessees of the Gold Hunter
property, although the mill of the COM
pany was idle.
Zinc production for the year was
confined to the metal recovered as a
by-product in other classes of mining,
the price of the metal being too low
for profitable extraction.
Six mining companies of the state
paid total of nearly two million dol
lars in dividends as the result of OPP
erations for IL months of the year, no
record being kept of the profits of
many of the smaller producers
The total value of metal products for
the year was $15,208,000, a falling off
from $31,10,176 of 1920, but in view
of the collapse of markets and prices
and the general depression of business
which has hit the mining industry with
greater force than almost any other
line, most creditable showing for
the state.

Idaho's 1921 Farm Crops
Are Valued at $67,318,OOO

The value of Idaho's 16 important
farm crops, based on an inventory of
December 1, 1921, was $67,318,90O, ac-
cording to a report issued Thursday
by julius Fl. Jacobson, agricultural
statistician for the Idaho crop report
ing service. This compares with $780,
S07,177 for 1920, and s137680,610 for
1919. Production was, however, ex-
ceptionally good, no less than six
crops exceeding previous records.
These were wheat, oats, potatoes, hay,
alsike clover seed and apples.
The total production of spring and
winter wheat in 1921 was 27,079,00
bushels. It's value was $1S,496,8S0.
The 1920 crop was 24,600,000 bushels,
but the value was $30,750,000. The
1921 acreage was approximately mill
lion and quarter acres.
Hay, another important crop, yielded
3,180,000 tons in 1921, and its value
at an average of $500 ton was $780,

JURY IS CALLED
FOR APRIL II
SPRING TERM OF DISTRICT COURT
CONVENED MONDAY OF
THIS WEEK
PETITION FOR A RECEIVERSHIP
X. A. Shultis Named Receiver for the
Kootenai Farms Project.

The spring term of district court
convened Monday afternoon, Judge
McNaughton presiding. The court
made an order calling for jury panel
of "a to report on April II. There are
some eight or nine cases on the calen-
dar for trial by jury.
The divorce action of Dore against
Dore will be heard Monday, January
%. This case will be followed by the
suit of Myrl Fisk against the Idaho
Industrial Commission, in which the
plaintiff sues for compensation insur-
ance. The case of the State VS. Brooks
Bros, an action for abatement of a
nuisance, follows and will probably
come up for hearing next Tuesday.
Judge McNaughton made an order
providing for the selling by Sheriff
Fisher of an Essex roadster which was
captured in this county last year while
being driven through loaded with in
toxicantS.
Acting upon the petition of G. w.
Megquier the court named F. A. Shul-
tbs as receiver for 2. x. Shepard, the
owner of the Kootenai Farms, in the
Macarthur district, and fixed the bonds
of the receiver at $4,000. G. w. Meg
quier is the plaintiff in an action
against p. e. Shepard to recover $4,000
claimed to be due on promissory notes
given. The petition for a receivership
was made for the purpose of protect
ing the claims of other creditors OF
Mr.. Shepard.
o. c. Wilson, of Bonners Ferry, and
E. w, Wheelan, of Standpoint, have
been retained as counsel for Receiver
Shultis. 1t is stated that the liabilities
of the Kootenai Farms amount to some
100000 and that the assets are suffic-
lent to satisfy all claims.
The Kootenai Farms comprise some
500 acres of improved land in what
was formerly known as the Kootenai
Orchard tract, near Macarthur. The
Kootenai Orchard company was
formed some nine years ago. About
1000 acres of land was purchased
cleared and planted to fruit trees and
through the Kootenai Orchard Co. was
sold to eastern people, most of them
Chicagoans, in five and ten acre tracts
the orchard company agreeing to care
for it and cultivate the various tracts
for a period of five years or until the
trees started bearing fruit. The or
chard venture proved failure as ii
was found the tract lay in frost belt
A number of the owners of the Koo-
tenai Orchard Co. tracts turned their
holdings over to P. e. Shepard, OF
Chicago, when he came here a couple
of years ago to look after his interests
and he organized the Kootenai Farms
On considerable portion of the land
the fruit trees were removed and the
land was used for raising alfalfa,
clover and grain. 1t was planned to
build up dairy business and large
herd of grade and thoroughbred milk
cows were purchased

2,534,000 tons, and its value at an aver
age of $21.25 a ton was $55,566,500
Potatoes exceeded far the record
yield Of the two previous years, with
a total production in 1921 of 1885,
900 bushels, valued at $S,119,650. In
1919 the crop was approximately four
million bushels less, but the value was
almost two million dollars more.
Apples show the same relative val
ues as potatoes, for in 1921 there were
4,2S0,000 bushels, valued at S5,500,000.
In 1919, however, when the crop was
100000 bushels less, the value was $6,-
$4,000.
Mr.. Jacobson's report covers thor
oughly the record Of the 16 crops. He
shows for the three years 1919, 1920
and 1921 the acreage planted, the yield
per acre, total production, value per
ton or bushel, total value Of the CROP
and the value per acre.

HELD ANNUAL MEET WEDNESDAY,
KOotenai Valley Produce Co. Financial
Condition Pleases Stockholders.

The annual meeting of stockholders
and election of a board of directors
of the Kootenai Valley Produce Co.,
was held last Wednesday, following a
dinner served in the banquet room of
the International hotel.
A board of directors was elected as
follows W. f. Dunning, j. r. Meek
er, F. A. Davis, A. H. Trent and Henry
Tank. The directors will meet Sat
urday of this week to organize and
elect officers.
w. I. James, manager of the Koo-
tenai Valley Produce Co., gave a de-
tailed report of the business done the
past year, showing substantial in
crease and the business of the con-
cern in most favorable circumstances
His report showed that the company
has a large working reserve fund after
having paid out a considerable sum to
stockholders in dividends.
The stockholders were unanimous
in expressing themselves as being
highly pleased with the gains that
have been made under the manage
ment of Mr.. James and in general
seemed to favor a program of expan-
sion of the business.
In all probability the Kootenai Val
ley Produce Company will erect new
business quarters this spring, on a
site owned by the corporation adjoin-
ing the Great Northern Railway Co
right-ofway. 1t is likely that in the
near future no further stock will be
offered for sale through the corpora
tion as the concern has sufficient
money to conduct its business and take
care of improvements without needing
to depend upon finances which might
be obtained from the sale of stock.

educational value that they were
adopted by the state board of educa-
ton of Idaho for use in the schools OF
that state and were also highly en-
dorsed by the educational boards OF
Oregon, Washington and other states
The device was patented and The
Swift Map Company organized which
took over the manufacture of the maps
