New Hope.

Eugene Thomas. manager of the
New Hope Mining company. came up
from Two Mile. near Osburn. to cele-
brate the Fourth. The company is
now driving a crosscut tunnel which
will cut three veins the first two of
which show up strong on or near the
surface, but have not been explored
underground. The third vein is the
original New Hope and has been
quite extensively developed with
most satisfactory results. Consider
able lead-silver ore has been found
and all indications point to CONNER
cial ore when cut at depth by the
tunnel now being driven. The tunnel
starts from near the Two Mile wagon
road and is being constructed with
the view to making it the permanent
outlet for the property.

STEWART CAMPBELL FOR
STATE MINE INSPECTOR
EFFICIENT OFFICER FORMALLY
ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY
FOR REELECTION.

Stewart Campbell state mine in
spector has formally announced that
he is candidate for reelection. The
announcement was made this week in
Haley, his home town. and simply
confirms the impression that has gen
orally prevailed. This is Mr.. Camp
bells firts term in the inspectors Of
flee. and that he has rendered salts
factory service is indicated by the
fact that up to date no candidate has
appeared to oppose him for the re-
publican nomination. Since taking Of
flee Mr. Campbell has given close at
tention to his duties and has uniform
ly shown a disposition to promote the
welfare of the mining industry in
Idaho. He is a graduate engineer of
the Idaho school of mines. and prior
TO his election was engaged in the
practice of his profession in the Wood
river district making his home at
HALEY. Mr.. Campbells formal au-
thorized announcement of his candi-
dacy is contained in the following
from the HALEY Times News Miner:
Campbell Candidate.
Stewart Campbell. state mine in
spector, and family arrived in HALEY
the 3D. and have taken up
their residence in the II. d. Smith
home for the summer. Mr.. Campbell
expects to be here for the balance of
the week when he will leave on an Of
fetal visit to Lemhi county.
while it is generally known that
he will be a candidate to succeed
himself as state mine inspector on the
republican ticket. Mr.. Campbell has
made no formal announcement prior
to this time. as he desired this an
nouncement to be made in his home
town by the Times News Miner
Mr.. Campbell said: "There is
nothing more to announce than the
fact that I will be a candidate to sue
coed myself However, as he is now
serving his first term and from the
and capable manner he has
conducted the Office, as well as
greatly increasing its usefulness, the
republican nomination is conceded to
him and from present indications his
will be made at the re-
publican state convention in August
by reclamation"

IDAHO CLAY DEPOSITS
MAY HAVE GREAT VALUE
WORK OF STATE BUREAU OF
MINES AND GEOLOGY GETS
GOOD RESULTS.

Soon after the creation of the state
bureau of mines and geology, steps
were taken to investigate the clay
deposits of Idaho in order to deter
mine their character and wherever
possible call them to public atten-
ton as a means of bringing about
their utilization as a commercial pro-
duct of the state The investigation
was made by Frank H. Skeels, mining
engineer, at that time a resident OF
this city. He visited and sampled
various clay deposits in both north
ern and southern Idaho and his re-
port was published by the state bur
eau of mines and geology in the form
of bulletin. He found a number of
deposits which gave evidence of hav-
ing great commercial possibilities,
some of which seemed especially
adapted to the manufacture of por-
celain ware. These are now to be
made the subject of further investi-
CATION by the United States bureau of
mines and actual tests will be made
to determine their adaptability. for
manufacturing purposes. This infor-
nation is contained in an announce
ment just made by the state bureau
which says:
Idaho Porcelain Industry.
Another step forward from work
done two years ago by the Idaho bur
eau of mines and geology, in cooper
alton with the United States bureau
Of mines is announced from Washing
ton, d. c. Investigations then made
and reported in a state bulletin are
to be continued by the federal bur-
eau. in cooperation with the Univer
sity of Washington This investiga-
ton will cover residual kaolins and
feldspars of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho. suitable for manu-
facture of whiteware bodies.
THE Idaho report of two years ago,
made in a bulletin by Frank H.
Skeels, disclosed that the clays of La
tab and Benewah counties were I'M
usually fine and that when properly
prepared and washed, they were suit
able for production of porcelain.
Hewitt Wilson. consulting cera-
mist of the United States bureau of
mine, Seattle. did the laboratory work
for that report He will conduct the
new tests now to be made"

SECURE LEASE AND BOND
DADDY MINE At MURRAY
FIND SHOOT HIGH GRADE IN OLD
WoRKINGS-TREAT ORE BY
CONCENTRATION.

The old Daddy gold mine at Muir
ray. which. after a brief and brilliant
career of rich gold production some
twenty years ago, has been idle, is
again the scene of activity with a
hopeful outlook for a repetition OF
past performance NJ. +. Gardner, a
well known miner and successful
leaser of this city, d. A. Finlayson,
an equally we'll known miner of Muir
ray, and others have secured a lease
and bond on the Daddy and have al
ready started preliminary work on
the famous old property. Mr. Gard
ner came over from Murray on the
Fourth to confer with other interested
parties and expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the result of his
underground Investigations. He and
Mr. FinlaysOn have been engaged in
opening up No tunnel, which is
about 600 feet above the level of the
creek. The rich ore mined years ago
by the Daddy company came from
tunnel No. l. all of which was free
milling. In No. 2 tunnel as explain
ed by Mr. Gardner. the ore apparently
lost its free milling character and was
therefore no longer profitable for the
original owners with the treatment
facilities at hand.
Values Still There.
The ore was generally removed
above this level by the old owners and
also a shaft was sunk on the vein to
a depth of 26 feet. An examination
of the vein in the shaft shows the
shoot to be from l to s inches thick,
and Mr. Gardner says that careful
panning fails to disclose any free
gold An assay, however, shows de-
cidedly different result. One of these
assays, representing the average val
ues, returned SO ounces in gold and
2.7 ounces in silver, while another
sample which Mr. Gardner says cor
responded to a hand jig product re-
turned 1874 ounces in gold and GA
ounces in silver, the value of which is
S2744O per ton. In No. tunnel there
is a showing of about IS inches of
quartz which is believed to carry good
values IN gOlu, DuI IOf tle present at
tention will be given wholly to open
ing the ore on No. 2 level. Negotia-
lions are now pending for a COM
pressor and it is proposed to reduce
the ore for the present with hand
jigs Later if the development proves
as successful as expected, concentrat-
ing machinery will be placed in the
old stamp mill, the impression being
that the ore will respond to the usual
milling processes of the district. The
bond and lease includes the three
Daddy claims. the mill and everything
in connection with the property, and
plans contemplate meeting all pay
ments after the first through the OPP

Washout Should Be Repaired With
out Delay by County.
A section of the Sunset road about
a mile or more in length between the
Rex and the Callahan road is report
ed in bad condition as a result of a
washout caused by heavy spring rains
and melting snow While it is true
that not many men are employed in
that section, the Sunset road is new
ertheless an important highway and
one that should be kept in condition
for travel by the county It taps a
section of wonderful mineral posi-
bilities. and large sums have been
expended in development work, re-
sulting in mineral showings which
give every assurance of becoming
productive mines Good roads are an
important factor in inducing the in
vestment of capital. and many a deal
has been killed by their absence. The
cost of repairing the Sunset road is
not great and the advantages derived
from keeping it in condition for travel
fully justifles the expense.

BIRTH OF THE NATION
FlTTlNGLY CELEBRATED
BY PEOPLE OF WALLACE

The celebration of the Fourth of
July will go down in the history
of Wallace as one of the most sue
cessful and creditable that has
ever been carried out. The day
was beautiful typical of summer
in the Occur d'Alenes, and the
various events in the elaborate
program were presented accord
ing to schedule in the presence of
a great assemblage including
people from all parts of the dis
trict and many tourists who re-
manned in camp to participate in
the patriotic demonstration. The
pageant was unquestionably the
finest that was ever presented in
this city, and much credit is due
the committee for their splendid
work in arranging it. The patri-
otto program received the closest
attention and the outbursts of
applause that greeted the reading
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the eloquent address by
Hon. George +. Weeks, of Occur
d'Alene, on the leadership of the
nation. attested to the sound Am
ericanism of the people. The af
ternoon was given over to sports
for boys and girls. followed by
the big sporting event, the clos
ing ball game of the series be-
tween Wallace and Mullan. A
street dance in the evening, fol-
lowed at 9 o'clock by the formal
dance in Howarth hall, closed the
festivities of perfect day.

The placing of Harry L. Day on the
board of directors of the American
Smelling & Refining company almost
coincident with the announcement
that the Tamarack and Hercules
would resume production continues to
be a matter of interesting discussion,
and the conviction grows that it was
in pursuance of an agreement under
which the Day ores will go to the East
Helena smelter. Further evidence Of
such an agreement is found in the
easement obtained by the TamaraclS
company for the use of No. tunnel
Of the old Standard Mammoth mine
as an outlet on Canyon creek for the
Tamarack mine at a point easily ac-
cessible to the mill. Having settled
this vexed question. another probleru
confronts the public for solution and
that is, what disposition has been
made of the Northport smelter. for
it seems settled that the Days will
have no further use for that plant and
most likely they would be glad to for
get that they ever owned IT, If the
first conclusion is correct, then it may
be assumed that the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company has agreed
to take this white elephant" off lheir
hands.

Two medical meetings are to be
held in the early part of July and
many southern Idaho doctors will
make the trip by automobile over the

les have been made as to the condi-
ton of the highway owing to con-
struction work going on.
The Northwest Medical association
will meet at Spokane July 5, 6 and z,
and Immediately following the Idaho
Medical society will meet at Wallace
July 10 and IL.
Contractors are at work on the
highway it was announced at the
highway bureau but motorists Will
find no great difficulty in getting
through to the northern part of the
state. "They may be held up a few
minutes while some road machinery
is moved" said H. w. Gregory Office
engineer, "and where actual construe-
ton is going on the road may be
rough but there is no doubt about
being able to get through"

Evidently the Days are done with
the smelling business The situation
seems to confirm the belief expressed
by men well informed at the time the
Hercules and Tamarack closed down
that the chief cause Of the suspensi d.
was the inability of the Days 20 mar
ket their metal owing to inexperi
ence, the freight diferential on ore
from the mines to the smelter at
NorthpOrt the disadvantage of loca-
ton of the refinery which deprived
them of the Atlantic terminal freight
rates, and other handicaps, all of
which they overlooked or ignored as
they pompously proclaimed their pur-
pose to wage war on the smelling
trust" and free the mining industry
from its strange hold Well. the
war appears to be over The Days
seem to be out of the smelling bust
ness, but the much malgned trust"
is still doing business at the old
stand. Mr. Day has a seat at the
trust" table and presumably the Day
ores will be diverted to A. S. & r.
plants.

FIVE AND A HALF FEET
OF ORE AT THE GALENA

The best showing of ore that
has been found in the Galena
Chicago Boston, is reported in
the face of the east drift on No.
tunnel level. Continuous com
mercial ore had been exposed for
100 feet, and last Monday the last
shift before the holiday exposed
a face of ore 51a feet wide of the
best grade that has up to date
been exposed in the mine. In
fact the full width of the ore
had not been determined, as it
apparently extended into the
hanging wall in addition to filling
the entire face of the drift.

MONEY FOR IDAHO MINES
ADVERTISE IN THE EAST
ENGINEER SAYS MONEY CAN BE
HAD IF OPPORTUNITIES
ARE KNOWN.

Possibilities OF a railroad from Rog-
erson, Idaho, to Contact New, were
again revived recently by }. j. Hoh-
mann, veteran Idaho mining man in
an interview. Mr.. Holman says he
is leaving soon for Twin Falls in COM
pany with a reputable engineer and
together they will investigate the mi
ming fields at Contact for eastern
capitalists, says the Boise Statesman.
IF the actual conditions there are
anything like what are reported" he
said, the Contact mines will surpass
the famous Butte region in produc-
ton and quality Specimens of ore
taken from the Nevada mines assay
as high as $500 and 5000 a ton in cop
per and silver" he said.
Believes in Advertising.
Mr. Hohmann says from every
standpoint, mineral included, Idaho is
a wonderful state. The possibilities
OF extracting wealth from the earth
are unlimited in the gem state, he
says, and eastern capitalists are just
waiting for the opportunity to invest
their money. He says their trouble
so far has been that there is plenty
Of money for mines but no mines for
the money.
Mr. Hohmann is a strong advocate
of advertising Idaho. he says. Most
Of his time is spent either in Idaho or
eastern cities. He declared if the
legislature would stop worrying about
whether some sheep or cattle man got
a little money and took up the prob
lem of advertising the state prosper
ity would come TO all.
A real live Idahoan stationed in the
Equitable building in New York city
could, in a short time, Mr.. Holman
says, bring $1,000 into the state where
10 cents is coming in now.
