WANT TO BE A GOOD AMERICAN

Russell F. Collins. Wallace, Idaho)
Twas in the fall of Nineteen Ten the
forest fires began
and darken all the land.
Reports had come from Big Creek
how the flames were rolling high
And cen the stoutest held his breath
for he knew that men must die.
Pulaski was the fire chief and called
for volunteers
To battle back the awful flames and
warn the mountaineers.
In the front ranks there was Tony.
an Italian by birth,
Who had often prayed for such n
chance to prove his every worth.
I'm a native son of Italy, the land Of
ancient Rome,
But when crossed the briny deep
this country was my own.
I ma speak very good English but 1
do the best I can.
For don you see want 20 be a good
American"
Far up among the mountain crags
were many doomed to die
Unless a courier could go and tell
them all to fly.
Who'll try it," said Pulaski "'tis a
desperate sort of game
To scale the crags of Striped Peak
and beat that awful flame"
said Tony then please let me try; I'll
go 7 know I can,
And show the men of Occur d'Alene
that I'm every inch a man."
lie went; the hot flames licked his
breath amid the mountain pine
rhe fire brands fell on every side but
never did he whine.
lis mission was completed, and poor
Tony had returned;
The smile was still upon his face,
though it was badly burned.
\ thousand miners thronged the
streets of little Wallace town,
rhe flag was raised for Tony as a
hero of renOwn.
Tn native son of Italy, the land of
ancient Rome.
But when crossed the briny deep I
made this land my own.

Commissioners and Railroad Officials
Confer and Agree.
The county commissioners and the
O.-W r. & n. company have reached
satisfactory agreement regarding
the change in the highway just west
of town by which the road will paral-
lei the railroad from the Continental
oil station down to a point opposite
the bridge which will cross the river
below the site of the old sampler.
This agreement was the result of a
conference Tuesday participated in by
the county commissioners, Joseph A.
Murphy, state engineer in charge of
highway construction in this county:
William Connolly, division superin-
tendent of the O.-W r. & N; j. H.
Robb, division engineer, and James A.
Wayne, local attorney for the rail-
road. AS a result of this agreement
the way is now open for carrying out
the change that will eliminate Mark

for the construction of this piece of
road and also the Pine creek improve

Let New Contract Which Is Expected
to Reach Vein.
C. w. Dougherty, manager of the
North Star Mining & Development
company, states that a contract to ex
tend the main crosscut was let this
week to Chas. c. Barton and the work
is now going forward The total
length of the crosscut is now about
1900 feet, its purpose being to cut
what is known as the north vein, Mr.
Dougherty is of the opinion that the
vein will be reached before the COM
pletion of this contract; in fact, he
expects to break into it within Is or
20 feet. The vein will be cut at
depth of about 600 feet and beneath
a big blowout that is believed to be
the Gaping OF an ore body. The North
Star is situated near Black Cloud on
Nine Mile, and about two and a hall
rifles from Wallace.

The directors of Marsh Mines Con-

of one cent per share, which is ex-
pected to bring in $4,000 to the treas
ury of the company to provide for a
continuation of development. In his
report covering the operations during
the past year F. Gushing Moore, en-
gineer for the company, says:
"Appreciable values in silver and
lead are found by assay, but so far
no ore of commercial value has been
encountered although your officers
are hopeful that it will be encounter
ed soon. 49,. AS was expected, we
encountered the fault developed on
the Russell tunnel level, $40 feet
above, and the vein beyond the fault
placed only about so feet to the north
instead of $50 as in the Russell tun-
mel
1--WE went too far north and missed
the west end of the eastern segment
and were compelled to return from the
face and crosscut south to find the
vein. The eastern segment has been
found and the vein has been followed
for more than 400 feet from that
point.
THE vein is a wei defined fissure,

eristic of the veins of the Occur

The German mark has at last fallen

Still, the German mark has fallen
