Distinction Belongs to the Tacoma

It would appear from the following
letter that the superlative "tallest'
should be applied to the Tacoma stack
of the American Smelling & Refining
company. rather than to the Anaconda
although when actual capacity is con-
sidered the Anaconda is the premier
chimney, says the Engineering and
Mining JournaI-Press.
Il note in the Journal Press of Aug
ust 10, and again under date of No
vember IS, that the Anaconda stack
is called the highest stack in the
world think you have been misir
formed as to the height of the Ana
conda stack. have seen the draw
ings of the Anaconda stack and the
5S5 feet of sc called height is from the
base of the foundation to the top o.
the stack. The shaft or brick part Of
the Anaconda stack is only 555 feet
high. This is the only effective part
of the stack and it has always been
customary with our companys plants
to designate the height of a stack as
the height of the hollow part of the
stack. You can readily see that two
stacks of the same height, but one on
solid rock and the other on clay, would
have very different heights of founda-
lions. Moreover a metallurgist is on
ly interested in the hollow shaft of
the stack.
1.-THE Tacoma plant of the American
Smelling & Refining company has a
stack with the brick or hollow part
572 feet 10 inches high above the top
of the foundation. The foundation is
80 feet in height, which would make
stack 6O2 feet 10 inches high if desig-
mated in the manner of the Anaconda
stack.
Both the Anaconda and Tacoma
stacks were built by the Custodis
company and think this stack COM
pany will verify my statements.
IF the question were which were
the largest stack in the world, have
no doubt that the Anaconda stack
would be placed at the top of the list,
as it is go feet in diameter at the top.

Mining in North Central Idaho--Rich
Field Soon Accessible by Completion
of Modern Highway

(By Oren A. Fitzgerald, Moscow, Ida.)
Hopes in the north central Idaho
mining region, which have had little
encouragement for years, are rising
again with prospects for completion
next year of a truck highway to Elk
City, in the heart of these great I'M
developed fields. Many believe that
north central Idaho comprising the
larger part of Idaho county and con-
tanning the northern half of the great
Idaho batholith, is one of the worlds
greatest undeveloped and generously
mineralized areas and eventually will
become a genuine producing section.
This region also is probably less de-
velOped, even from the most funda-
mental standpoint, and more open to
additional exploration than any other
For twenty years, beginning immedi-
ately after the lode excitement which
came as a logical aftermath to the ex-
haustlon of the great placer bonanzas
this entire area has experienced very
little activity. largely because of lack
of transportation.
Mines in the interior of this area
are not able to bear the exorbitant
transportation costs and operate sue
cessfully. The cost Of constructing
mountain roads is astoundingly ex-
pensive. Twenty miles of the truck
highway have already been completed
from Grangeville up the South Fork of
the Clearwater river at a cost of ap-
proximately 1925, 900; but the road
ends shortly after entering the forest
reserve. Until it is completed to Elk
City or within a reasonable distance
from the town It will be of little bene-
fit to the mining interests.
Completion of the highway how
ever. is believed in sight. Camas
Prairie towns Lewiston and Spokane
realize the possibilities sealed in the
north central Idaho fields and are
uniting efforts. A state appropriation
of $4,000 has been assured which
with a generous contribution from the
federal government, for the uncom-
2leted distance is in forest reserve ter
ritory, should put the thoroughfare to

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
RATES ON SAME BASIS
BILL BY COOLING is NOT WHO'LL
~ SATISFACTORY TO
IDAHO PEOPLE.

The bill introduced by Senator
Gooding which provides for railroad
rates on "a mileage basis which
would prevent the fixing Of rates
In one direction for the short
haul that will divert the traffic to the
the distance hauled the basis or rates
charged. is not meeting unanimous
approval among the people of Idaho.
1t is pointed out that the position o.
this state is such that the effect OF
such a rate would shut the products
of Idaho out of the eastern market,
giving the advantage to competitors
within a shorter haul of the market.
Other provisions of the senator's bill
are the adjustment of the closed
gateway which would permit shippers
to have the choice of competing lines;
also to prohibit preferential rates be-
tween certain favored towns to the
detriment of others. and to equalize
branch line rates with those of main
lines.

State Bureau of Mines and Geology and
Its Work During Past Two Years

The Miner is indebted to Francis A.
thomson, executive secretary for the
following summary of the report OF
the state bureau of mines and geoI-
oev which will be submitted to the
legislature;
The exploitation OF the mineral re-
sources of such a state as Idaho. as
ner cent OF the area OF which is noun
famous and mineral bearing in char
acter) is dependent upon authorita-
tive investigation and publication as
a stimulus to prospecting and devel-
opment Nothing will contribute more
to the future success of agriculture,
stock raising and every other industry
in the state than vigorous activity in
Idahos mineral industry. Expendi-
lures in such work will bring rich re-
suits in increasing the taxable wealth
of the state of Idaho
Since it's creation in 1919 the bureau
of mines and geology has received
$4,000 a year. all of which has been
spent in investigation of the mineral
resources of the state, in cooperation
with the U. S. geological survey and
the U. S. bureau of mines and in max
ing known the results of thiswork
What Bureau Has Accomplished.
Here is a list of the work done:
l. A geological survey OF the Seven
Devils, Heath, Hornet, Hoodoo and
Deer Creek copper districts has been
made The bulletin on this area con-
tanning 100 pages and IL maps has at
tracted much attention to the area,
and development is going forward.
Further study is being given to this
area.
?. The clays of the state have been
studied and a 73-page report issued. |
This has shown that Idaho contains |
some of the finest clay deposits in the |
world and capital is being attracted to
their development The manufactur-
ing of clay products will undoubtedly |
be one of the greatest industries of |
the state rs years from now
3. The gold and silver deposits of |
Thunder Mountain, Big Creek, Sea
Foam, Stanley Basin and Sheep Noun
tain have been surveyed and a brief
report published, calling attention to
their possibilities. Capital has al
ready been drawn to this area as a I
result of the report.
4. The geology and treatment of
the gold ores of the Boise Basin have
been investigated and a report is prac-
tically ready for the printers.
5. The silver-lead- zinc ores of the h
Pend dOreille area have been investi-
gated and proper methods of treat
ment have been described to the oper- 7
ators. One of these, the Talache I
Mines company, has since erected
large mill which is operating continu- t
ously. g
6. Reported gas and oil discoveries c
in the northern part of the state have S
,een investigated and through press r
reports and individual advice the pro- n
noters have been advised as to our q
Most of this advice has e
been of a negative character and much
money has been saved to the public by i
rank statement of facts. n
T. The geology and gold resources n
If central Idaho, north of the Salmon C
liver have been thoroughly investigat- a
