THANKSGIVING DAY IN coEUR
D'ALENES.

The Miner makes its appearance
this week in advance of the regular
publication day in order that the entire
force may do fun justice to the spirit
Of Thanksgiving day and to the I'M
happy bird that is an annual martyr
to the occasion 1t would be difficult
to find IN this blessed land OF ours a
place in which the condition of the
people is more in harmony with the
spirit of the day. The year now draw
ing rapidly to close has been pros
porous and the outlook for even great
er prosperity during the coming year
inspires confidence Some have shared
in this prosperity to a greater extent
than others, but there are few indeed
in the Occur d'Alenes who are not in
position to enjoy the feast that is the
browning feature of this national day
of thanksgiving and feel that they
have much for which to express their
gratitude If there are those who are
not so happily situated. they will at
least be made to feel that the day has
lot been set apart in vain by those
who have found that there is more
happiness in giving than in receiving.

centrifuaaI Concentration.

In connection with experimental
work performed some time ago by the
Department of the Interior at the
Reno. Nevada, station of the Bureau
of Mines. on the concentration of a
zinc descloizite ore carrying vana-
dunn, a laboratory size centrifugal
concentrating bowl was developed for
extracting metals from the shines
that represented the major portion of
losses in the table concentration of
the descloizite ore. More recent ex-
periments indicate that the bureaus
concentration may have a commercial
application to a neglected field of
metallurgy, the concentration of
shines that are not amendable to flo
tation, or that it may possibly com
pete with flotation itself in the treat
ment of some ores. Improvements
evolved have been incorporated in a
design for a small commercial ma
chine with which further experiments
may be conducted under plant con
jitiOns.

COLUMBIA BASIN.
Boise Statesman.

Boise Statesman.
The Columbia Basin league is urg-
ing construction of its reclamation
project. Idaho thinks she has some
fairly impressive projects and fairly
( large irrigation canals, but they are
pigmy works compared with the ones
proposed by the Columbia basin
boosters.
They want to have a ditch that will
carry 10000 second feet of water
which would make its capacity about
10 times as large as that of our New
York canal. They want miles of con-
crete-lined sidehill work and many
tunnels. one of them II miles long
in solid rock. Their system takes
water from the upper Columbia river,
which carries no more than $500 sec
ond feet at low water, so the balance
Of the supply 10000 second feet
must be supplied by huge reservoirs
say 10 times the size of Arrowrock.
On such a project the water rights
alone would have to cost between
$3.50 and $500 an acre. This is as
much as to say that if land on west
ern irrigation projects will produce
enough income to be worth $4O0 an
acre. then the time is ripe for con
the construction of so am
bilious project as that in the Col
umbia basin.

Under the direction of F. w. Cal

the workings at the old Argentine
mine, two and a half miles west of
Wallace, have been unwatered and a
program of development will at once
be taken up. During the past two
years under the former management
the mine was equipped and much de-
velopment was done, and it was be-
lieved that the old property was en-
tering upon new and profitable lease
of life. The equipment included com
pressor driven by electric power and
a cable tramway over 1000 feet in
length to deliver ore from the mine
to the railroad, ore bins and everv-
thing necessary for development and
production Although ore CARRYING
high silver values was found and of
a character that obtained a favorable
smelling rate. the returns from ship
ments were disappointing. This fail
ure in profits resulted in the reor-
of the company and Mr..
Galloway was placed in charge of
operations, and the outlook is regard !
ed favorable for placing the mine on

Charles Mathewson, of Toronto, one
of party of thirteen who left Canada
early in the summer to search for

Guiana, has returned sick man. He
says that the party, after reaching

engaged a crew of twenty negroes
and assembled the Mazarini River for
two weeks, when they began operations
in the Jungle They probed the ground
with thin steel rods, and when gravel
beds were struck removed the subson
and washed the gravel. They obtained
some diamonds, which, though rather
small, were perfect stones, and brought
good prices in the markets of George
town. Fair progress was being made
when fever broke out. One of the
party, L. X. Stokes, who had graduated
as mining engineer at the University
of Toronto died, and several of the
others we're FRUSTRATED. MANY of the
negroes deserted, and the party was

diamonds. They still have hope of be

Hydraulic Mining on Sea Bottom.

Some remarkable experiences in
the work of recovering the gold from
the Laurentic sunk during the war
off Tough Swilly, on the north coast
of Ireland, have been described by
diver of the admiralty's salvage YES
sci Racer, which has been carrying
on the salvaging work for four years.
When she was sunk the Laurentic
was carrying gold bullion estimated
to be worth SS5,OOO,OO0. THE gold
was found among all sorts of debris
said the diver. TT was in the mud
among broken bottles. coal, concrete
tiles and shovels. In 1919 we started
to dig out the gold with our hands
but the work tore our fingers. Then
we devised the method of using
hose with water power pressure ana
were able to clear away the dirt and
find the gold"
On the ocean bed the divers had
queer companions. They saw an ang-
Ter or fishing frog catch a small hsh
with a lure on the end of thread
like structure extending from his
head.

Life is a narrow veil between the
cold and barren peaks of two eterni-
ties. We strive in vain to look be-

the only answer is the echo of our
wailing cry. From the voiceless lips
of the unreplying dead. there comes
no word; but in the night of death
hope sees a star, and listening love
can hear the rustling of a wing. He
who sleeps here, when dying, mistak-

a contract was let this week to ex-

will continue development during the
winter. The contractor is being paid
half cash and half stock, which in

tended in ore for over 300 feet, and
is now following the footwal. The
ore is both lead and zinc that on
the footwall side being described as
mostly lead while on the hanging
wall side it is said that there is
about two feet of zinc ore of good
