Dedication Ceremonies.

This attractive watering place be-
side the road was erected by the COM
missioners of Shoshone county in hon
or of Captain John Mullan, builder Of
the famous military road that bears
his name. and as a means of beauti-
flying and popularizing the Occur
d'Alene- Yellowstone trail through this
county The idea originated with Fl
w ingalls, and John Foss. of Mullan,
the latter being road supervisor and
to whom is due the credit for the con-
struction of the fountain The tablet
is properly credited to Mr.. ingalls,,
who secured the funds by popular
subscription, chiefly in Mullan, and
prepared the interesting inscription
In the presence of quite an assem-
blage last Friday the fountain was
formally dedicated, the county being
represented by Commissioners James
H. Taylor and John Wood The dedi-
catory address was made by Joseph
A. Murphy, engineer representing the
state highway department in the con-
struction of roads and bridges in this
county. Following the address, James
H. Taylor. chairman of the board Of
county commissioners. accepted the
fountain on behalf of the county, in
the course of which he broke the ira
ditional bottle containing pure cold
water above the fountain.
Mr.. Murphy's Address.
1t was with evident pride in his pro-
fession that Mr. Murphy eulogized the
work of the pioneer road builder and
dedicated the fountain as a perman-
ent monument in honor of his achieve
ment in the following address:
ut is fitting that we set aside near
the western boundary of the Occur
.dAlenes a shrine dedicated to the
builder of the Mullan road in the form
of a drinking fountain to welcome
tourists to the hospitality Of Shoshone
county. Those coming westward may
refresh themselves as they drop over
the divide and look down upon the

way westward TO the Pacific Those

Shape Silver Policy.
That the Reno meeting will be one
of the most important gatherings in
the history of western mining opera

who sees i'm the meeting the shaping
of silver policy for both North and
South America to endure for many
years to come and ultimately work
out the salvation of the silver produc-

await some relief through legislation
The Reno meeting is a long step to-

TO CAPT. JOHN MULLAN

ITNHE FORMAL dedication of the
Bitter Root spring on the beau
tiful highway that crosses the
divide between Idaho and Mon
tana at Lookout pass took place last
Friday at noon with ceremonies be
fitting the occasion The spring is
about "a mile and a half from the
summit at a draw down which flows
"a little stream of pure cold water
distilled from the banks of snow in
the higher reaches of the mountains
A stone wall across this draw pro-
vides a background for the spring or
fountain, the water from which bub-
bles up in constant flow through up
right pipes in the center of two con
crete basins, making it easily access
ible for automobiles and for thirsty
wayfarers. Embedded in the masonry
above the fountains are chunks of ore
from every mine in the district, a plan
that makes the ore exhibit a conspic-
uous feature and at the same time
makes il safe from depreciation by
vandals. The ore specimens include
lead silver zinc and copper The road
has been widened adjacent to the
fountain and there is room to park
dozen ears or more. The fountain is
situated a short distance from the old
Mullan road which is crossed by this
new and modern highway. A bronze
tablet firmly bolted in the wall has
the following inscription:

Lookout Nears Vein.
The Lookout Mountain property a
short distance south of the Amy, is
continuing steady development opera
tons. driving a crosscut northward to
reach a great assured area, exposed
for hundreds of feet along the sur
face and bearing silver-lead values at
the grass roots This assured area,
described by Hershey, eminent geolo-
gist, as 200 feet in width, is looked
upon as the mother lode of the Pine
creek mines The Lookout crosscut
will pierce the zone at a depth of over
300 feet and will be extended across
the fssure to the Dewey lead, one of
the main veins of the Lookout group.
The Lookout management is planning
installation of electric power to take
the place of the gasoline equipment
now in use and will then have sufti-
cient power to carry forward the shaft
operations and further develop the
ore bodies now exposed on the 300
foot level of the Lookout vein.
At the Jim Blaine property, south
of the Lookout Mountain mine, the
crosscut tunnel has been extended
500 feet and has recently encountered
stringers of ore giving indications of
the approach to the main ledge cross
ing the property to the south Of the
Placer creek fault. This is one Of the
deepest tunnel developments under
way in the Pine creek district and
will reach its objective at a face depth
of approximately 1000 feet.
Hilarity Starts crosscut.
Following a drift on ore for 1877 feet
averaging from one to three feet of
high grade mill feed with consider
able crude ore, the Hilarity manage
nent is now prosecuting to reach the
'ootwall side of the vein and will
carry forward the drift for some dis

saws from the ore show values of 8

ON A BASEBALL
RESULTS IN FRACTURED HIP

While trying to perform an act
of kindness and assist couple of
amateur ball players practising
curves on Oddie avenue near Mineral
street, Wayne Stanley sustained
what may prove to be compound
fracture of the hip and is now under
treatment at the Mines hospital.
Stanley was walking down Oddie
avenue when Slip O'Niel pitched a
ball to his partner. The latter
muffed and the ball rolled down the
street at slow speed. Stanley ex-
tended one foot to arrest the ball.
In doing this he inadvertently
stepped on the sphere and was
thrown to the ground, alighting on
the thigh with an impact that could
be heard at the fire station. Stanley
could not rise and Officer Kelley
rushed him off to the Mines hospital
where an X-ray developed the real
nature of the Iinjury.-Tonopah

OVERCOME BY GAS WHILE
WORKING IN AN OIL TANK

Overcome by noxious gases while
working inside an old oil tank at the
Union Pacific shops, Albert J. Tells,
colored, was temporarily deprived
of his eyesight, hearing and power
of speech and for time was in a
critical condition, his lungs and
throat being seriously affected, the
Las Vegas Review reports.
He was treated at the Railroad
Hospital for a few days and was
then transferred to Los Angeles,
where he is reported to be recover
ing and gradually regaining his
faculties.
The tank in which Tells was at
work was from an oil burning en-
CINE, but had not been in use for
many months. A fellow laborer, who
was not affected in any way, states
that the interior of the tank was
dry and scaly and showed no signs
of oil. Under these circumstances
the origin of the gas cannot be ac-
counted for and its presence in the
tank is a mystery. Some have
suggested that it may have been re-
Gently used as a still for moonshine
whiskey, which would explain almost
everything, except that one of the
laborers suffered no i'll effects.
