If they would rend to ribbons the mys-
terious veil Of silence. But the prairie
has no secrets it is like an open hand,
palm upward.
Across the great upturned palm of
Illinois, dusk fell sadly over miles and
miles of close-bitten prairie lands and
runty corr fields that met the gray
horizon with the fluid, easy joinder Of
a river meeting the sea. Alongside an
isolated watering station the Inter
state Accommodation slowed, shrieked
OIL its rails, stopped.
Miss Lola Lalady protruded a shin
ing head out Of a coach window and
shifted to the evening. Her eyes were
fall of restless glancings and hard as
sunlight on bayonets.
Listen, Al, to the stiffness out
there, will you! Ugh, it's so thick you
al cut it,"
Her companion on the red plush
seat beside her unwound his long agile
limbs and leaned across her slim figure
and out into the moody evening and
the plains sweeping away to the hori-
zon.
"Looka them birds, will you, 10

He followed their course, his eyes
level beneath level brows.

The peculiar quiescence of rapid mo-
ton suddenly arrested descended over
the coach voices monotonous as the
droning of bees rose languidly. The
noise of travel that lay beneath the
song of the rails sprang out suddenly;
paper rafting, leather handbags that
~squeaked in the opening and closing,
the ever mysterious creakings Of
woodwork, the engine coughing at ever
intervals. Miss Laladay's brilliant
head rolled back against the red plush
inert. She famed her moist little face
with a lacy fribble of handkerchief.

many years a resident of this city
was in Wallace last week He is now
giving his entire time to the opera
tions of the Sunshine Mining com
pany on Big creek. which owns what
is Familiarity known as the Yankee
Boy of which he is manager. The
company has modern mill of so tons
capacity which Mr.. Merriam SAYS is
kept running full time on a very good
grade Of gray copper ore of which sill
yer is the chief value. The crusher
broke down Tuesday which caused a
suspension of milling while repairs
were being made by the Occur d'Alene

mill resumed operations Friday. Mr.
Merriam says considerable new ore is
being developed in this famous old
property and expressed himself i'm
very optimistic terms regarding the
future.

nectiOn the letter calls attention to
the fact that the mining situation in
the Occur d'Alene district has great
" improved, resulting in a renewal
of development on many properties
in the prospective stage. The letter
indicates that the next work under
taken will be in line with the recon-
mendation Of Sidney l. Shonts, min
ing engineer which was to sink on
the vein from the surface in order to
determine definitely its POSITION as a

last week to confer with other stock

of this city and John H. Nordquist,
mining engineer, who represents the
estate of the late John H. Smith Mr..
Nordquist had recently visited the
property, but found that a cave a
short distance from the portal had
damned the water to an extent that
it made it impractical to enter At the
conference it was agreed that a small
assessment must be levied to provide
for assessment work, and that steps
be taken to develop the property by
giving an option on control on attract
i've terms. The Square Deal is situat-
ed on the north side of the river and
about half way between Wallace and

RECOVERING OIL FROM
SHALES OF COLORADO
DEMONSTRATION OF THE PRO-
COMMERCIAL
POSSIBILITIES

Much has been heard of late re-
garding the recovery OF oil from
shale as a means of meeting the big
shortage of fuel oil and gasoline,
which best authorities agree is sure to
come in view of the great and ever
increasing consumption. But few in
this section of the country at least
have any definite information regard
ing the possibilities of shale oil pro-
duction, and less of the process by
which the oil and other products are
extracted Those who are interested
in the subject may see a practical
demonstration of the process by call
ing upon G. II. Pickett of Denver. at
the Samuels hotel. Mr. Pickett rep
resents the Gary Shale Oil & Rein
ing company, of Denver. which owns
a large tract of shale land in Garfield
county. Colorado In his room he
has samples of the shale and mini
allure retort with which he RECEIVERS
the oil and other products just as il
is accomplished in the large plants.
After the heat has been applied for
10 or Is minutes. gas passes through
the tube leading from the retort then
crude oil. followed by gasoline assO-
ciated with paraffin. and ammonium
sulphate. a substance that is valuable
for fertilizing.
