denly awaken to the fact that i'm
provements in cars are designed to
offer greater service, not an oppor-

AS this bad treatment was being In
ficted upon a new model, which, like
a. number of other makes, is equipped
with a very powerful engine and a
flexible clutch, it is obvious that the

Capable OF Being Abused.
The whole question as to why mod
ern cars are going wrong by the
wholesale hinges on the fact that
cars are SO much more capable of
being abused than they used to be.
This encourages unwarranted abuse
or cars--and the sort Of trouble that
comes on by degrees.
An "old timer" who is still going
around with a 1913 model suffered
the annoyance of having a connecting
car the other day because he raced
the motor too soon after it had
started. This had been unintentionai,

Immediate damage due to racing
a cold motor was common in the old
days when oiiing systems were in
adequate and bearing not designed
to Withstand abnormal heat and
strain. But today it is rare; and
because of this fact it is quite COM

ter Of unreliability,~ because that af-
fects the majority of drivers. The
very good driver and the very poor

difficulty to the community. in form

whose driving Is inconstant leads to
speculation and frequently to errone-
Gus conclusions all of which may
mean unfortunately unfair testimony

Must BE Careful Always.
The average driver has fits of driv-

that he may reveal himself as an
undesirable driver to the very party

The situation with respect to the
inconsistent driver works the other
way, too. One of the most unfortunate
conditions is the acquittal OF the driver,
who ought. to be made to take his
medicine, for justice as well as his
own sake. The public usually shows
decided preference for believing the
worst, and accordingly the situation
where the guilty driver goes scot

none the less dangerous. for it is

trouble.
Work Of One Driver,
One reckless driver goes a long
way toward making motoring un-

Every driver arrives at a point in
his experience where he thinks he is
pretty clever. II am justified in TAX

this Is that witnesses judge him by
average rules, and If the ''other fell

they are cautious, but the public can

PLATINUM APPEARS TO
BE PLENTIFUL IN THE
VICINITY OF LAKE CITY

At the rate platinum is being
discovered along the shores of
Lake Occur d'Alene by experts
from Grants Pass, Oregon, that
precious metal will soon be as
plentiful as lead and less valuable.
Far be it from the purpose of this
paper TO discourage legitimate
efforts to develop platinum or any
other mineral resource, but in con-
nection with these alleged discov-
cries which have evidently Great
ed much interest in Occur d'Alene,
it is well to remember that certain
so called platinum experts and
chemists in southern Oregon have
earned a rather unsavory reputa-
ton and it is possible that some
of them may have found more in
viting fields in Idaho. An account
of the platinum discoveries near
Wolf Lodge and plans for a refin-
cry as published in the Occur
d'Alene Press is reprinted on an
other page. The announcement of
these wonderful discoveries is de-
cidedly sudden, and it would be
the part of wisdom for all those
who are disposed to invest in this
pretentious enterprise to have the
ore carefully tested by assayers
of established reputation before
parting with their cash.

CONTROL OF SUCCESSCO.
UP TO STOCKHOLDERS
LETTER OF PRESIDENT REVIEWS
ACC OMPLlSHMENTS OF
DIRECTORS.

The approaching meeting of stock
! holders of the Success Mining COM
pany promises to develop an interest
ing contest for the control of the COM
pany. For the past few weeks an ac-
tive campaign has been waged by OPP
pOnents of the present board to secure
proxies, and rumors persist that the
Days are back of this movement, but
of this there appears to be no evil
dence beyond the fact that some of
the most active are close friends or
associates of the Days. In the mean
time operations at the Success mine
are progressing as usual leads silver
shipments, crude ana concentrates,
are moving to the smelter, zinc con-
.centrates are piling up which will
eventually enrich the Golfers of the
company, while the development of
the big ore body on the $50 level, both
in the raise and drifts, is proving even
more gratifying than on the level
above The latest feature of the con-
test for control is a letter addressed
to the stockholders by Franklin Pfr-
man, president of the Success COM
pany, which reviews the work of the
present board of directors, their sue
cess in restoring the mine to produce

BRADY SECURES BOND ON
PANHANDLE FORS7O,OOO
LIMITED WORK EXPECTED TO
FIND LARGE BODY
OF ORE.

Patrick Brady has secured a lease
and bond on the Panhandle, situated
on Nine Mile and about two and a
half miles from Wallace. The prop
erty consists of four patented claims,
joining the Black Cloud on the east,
and upon which a promising showing
of ore has been developed. The prop
erty is now owned by W. N. Rumley
of Chicago. The bond is for $4,000
and a royalty on ore shipments under
the terms of the lease will apply on the
purchase price. Mr.. Brady will pro-
coed at once to clean up the old work.

The Panhandle was located many
years ago. and the original owners

ore shipments amounted to upwards
of $4,000. Expense of mining coupled
with the low price of lead caused a

ore all the way. In one place there is
said to be a good grade of milling ore
for about 100 feet. This tunnel finally
struck a fault which from workings

at this point a payment became due
under the bond. An extension of time
was asked to permit picking up the
vein beyond the fault. This was de-

GREAT MORNING ORE
SHOOT ON 245OLEVEL
FOURTEEN FEET WIDE
All Conditions Favorable to
Continuance to Much
Greater Depth
FOURTEEN FEET WIDE

A MOTHER 200 feet has been
N added to the proved depth Of
the great Morning ore body
owned by the Federal Mining
q Smelling company. The new level
is the 2450, which is 1850 feet below
the main operating tunnel and $500
feet beneath the apex of the vein. The
crosscut from the shaft on the new
level reached the vein last week and
its extension through it proved the
ore shoot to be II feet WIDE averag-
ing 10 per cent lead and with the usu-
al silver content, also the usual per-
centage of zinc. The ore is in all es-
sential respects of the same character
that has been found in the upper lev
els, and all geological conditions are
favorable to it's continuance to much
greater depth Drifting is now pro-
ceeding both east and west and when
this has extended a short distance,
work will again be taken up in the
shaft. when another 200 feet will be
sunk and the 1850 level will be opened
up with all conditions favorable to
finding this wonderful ore body still
unimpaired. In letter to the direct
ors which was made part of the an
nual report of the company for the
year 1922, Frederick Burbidge, general
manager of the Federal. made this
statement
THE ore shoot is one of the most
persistent in the Occur d'Alene dis

the company's claims, a length of 1900
feet, and the workings have reached a

How much deeper the ore may 20,
it is impossible to tell; but as there
are so far no signs of weakening, it is
not unreasonable to assume a further
depth of at least 600 feet. 1t is posi-
bic that the ore shoot may go much
deeper"

BULLION TO HAVE MILL
HAS MUCH ORE IN SIGHT
REPORT OF MANAGER OUTLINES
IMPORTANT PLANS FOR
COMPANY.

An interesting report to the stock
holders of the Bullion Mining COM
pany has just been issued by James
II. Taylor manager, in which the
work accomplished during the past
year is reviewed and plans outlined
for the coming year. The most i'm
portant feature of the report is the
announced purpose to finance the
company with the view to construct
ing a mill and placing the property on
productive basis. This will be done
by increasing the capital stock and a
meeting of stockholders has been call
ed for May 5, when the matter will be
formally acted upon. The Bullion has
large tonnage of copper gold ore
blocked out and the mine is easily &C
cessible to the Milwaukee railroad.
The time is especially favorable to
carry out this plan, as the price Of
copper is high and the outlook for the
metal is especially bright. Mr.. Tay-
lor states that absolute title to the 16
claims composing the Bullion group
has been obtained by United States
patent, and that seven claims Of the
Copper Chief, controlled by the Bull
lion, are in process of patenting. A
wagon road connecting the mine with
the Milwaukee railroad is partially
completed, and during the past year
much underground work was accom-
plished which further proved the ex-
tent and value of the ore. Continuing,
the report says:
Direct Road to Wallace.
I'VE will resume operations this
spring just as soon as weather per-
mits. The heavy snow will doubtless
have disappeared by the first of May.
We plan to construct a short piece of
wagon road to connect our present
road with the Yellowstone Trail at
Tammany Mont This link will be
about one half mile long and will give
us a direct automobile connection with
Wallace, which we have not had in
the past, and which will render COM
with the mine much more
prompt and efficient.
1--WE will also continue underground
development, extending the drift east
and continuing the raise on ore.
To Build a Mill.
IN order to place the Bullion on
producing basis, it is going to be ne
cessary to build a concentrating plant
and install electric power. 1 am now
assured that we have sufficient ore to
justify this installation. The expense
Of equipment must necessarily be !
heavy. and I feel that our present
considering their al
ready large investment, can not, with
out serious hardship, contribute the
funds required It must be financed
by outside capital which to be effect
i've must be raised in sums large
enough to carry through the work
without delay after it is begun, and
this is not possible by assessments. !
Your board of directors have recon-
mended that the solution to our prob
lem is to increase our capitalization
10 100000 shares and have authoriz-
ed a special stockholders meeting for
May to vote on the question. A for
nal notice of this meeting is herewith
enclosed. with proxy card for those
attend in person. Please |
sign and mail the card now. if you
can not come to the meeting, as we
must have a good representative vote.

Vast Addition to Ore Re-
serves-New Strike Regard
ed of Great Importance
800 FEET FROM 1000

v yesterday the Hecla Mining
" company distributed a dividend
of S25O.OOO among its stock
holders. Almost coincident
with this big disbursement came the
news of a strike in the Wide West
claim which promises to add an i'm
portant asset to Hecla, and also the
announcement that preparations are
being made to prove the continuity of
the big Heola ore shoot below the 1000
level. These are matters of very great
interest to Hecla stockholders as they
are to the people of the Occur d'Alene
district in general, who delight to
hear of new strikes and the proving
of large ore reserves. The Wide West
claim upon which the strike was made
is one of what is known as the old
Tiger POorman group, which was ac-
quired by Hecla few years ago in the
settlement of pending litigation be-
tween the Federal and Hecla. The
claim is on the west side of the can
yon, extending up the mountain from
the site of the old Tiger mill in
Burke, and is bounded on three sides
