A FOOT OF HIGH GRADE
IN CEDAR CREEK SHAFT

William Weyer, president of the
Cedar Greek Mining & Develop
ment company returned from an
inspection of the company's prop
erty the first of the week. Good
progress is being made sinking the
shaft from No. tunnel, two
shifts being employed. He says
that there is a strong foot of
practically clean ore in the bot
tom of the shaft, along with much
lower grade or OF good milling
grade. Samples of the high grade
which he brought over, which were
fairly representative of the shoot
gave an assay return of 2O3
ounces in silver, 53.4 per cent lead
and per cent zinc. The shaft is
following the vein along the foot
wall and will be extended 200 feet,
at which depth the vein will be
explored by drifting. From pres
ent indications this work will re-
suit in making large addition to
the already large amount of ore in
sight, and justify the company in
proceeding at once to carry out
plans for the construction of a
mill.

ment which makes impossible the
former large scale production at low
cost. lie refers to the fact that in the
last twenty years no new lead depos-
its of importance have been discover
ed in any part of the world and that
additional lead can be obtained only
from low grade deposits which can not
be prohtaby mined at prevailing
prices. After describing these condi-
lions, Mr.. Crane says:
"The only logical conclusion
which can be reached is that pro-
ducers of lead in America are
facing days of prosperity greater
than any they have yet known
and that this prosperity will re-
suit in the regeneration of many
mines which long have been mac
tive, due TO the fact that their
ores were Of too low grade TO
handle profitably with lead selling
at average prices. Nor does il
require a keen imagination to see
what will come in the way of
prosperity to the mining company
which is so happily situated that
it now has large reserve of high
grade lead ore upon which to
draw
In the west we have no mines
which produce lead alone, but sill
yer and lead are usually associat-
ed. In some instances the COM
bination is lead and zinc; in 9TH
ers lead, silver and zinc. Hence,
in an attempt to pick out the
western organizations which will
derive the greatest benefit from
the existing and prospective lead
situation, it is members of the sill
ver-lead mines group to which at
tention must be paid"

SORROWS OF SOCIALISM.

Morris Hillquit states one truth thai

is pleasing to most Americans. Glass
consciousness, class mindedness and
class crystalllzation-in other words
the envy and hatred of groups-are
not rooted here.
Mr.. Hillquit remarks with gloom
that even some trades union agitators
have repudiated measures smacking
of class legislation. "They don't real
ize yet that workingmen are a class, 3"
means Hillquit That is true. Except
in those few instances where labor
can be collectively deceived by the
socialists and communists the work
ers not only do not consider them
selves a class but realize that in this
country there are no classes as Eur
ope knows classes.
The peasant farmer coming to Am
erica from the continent may retain
some of his class consciousness all his
life; but his children will be free from
it. The European laborer who comes
here may be class conscious or social

TROUBLES OF THE FARMER

Mining Congress JournaD
The mining industry is deeply con-
cerned with conditions which retarC
the prosperity of the farmers 'Theil
contributions to the maintenance OF
governments, the volume of theh
freight traffic over the transportation
systems of the country and their
ability to purchase modern farming
machinery and agricultural imple-
ments, directly affect the prosperity
of the mines.
Wasteful practices and willful pes
simism are aggravating the depress-
ing conditions which confront the
farmers, particularly in the western
states. Prone to brood over condi-
tons which they can not control, the
farmers generally. and especially in
the west, are neglecting to conserve
resources which are most vital to
their welfare.
They are being led and bled by
malicious propagandists while thous-
ands of tractors. reapers threshers,
binders, headers and other costly far
ming machinery, implements and
equipment deteriorate in the fields
a harbor for birds, or a roost for do
nestle fowls.
The annual loss on one tractor,
reaper binder threshing machine, or
header, due to improper care. in many
instances exceeds the farmers tax
bill. The annual loss sustained in the
agricultural industry by reason of
wasteful practices in handling and
failing to shelter such equipment is
enormous.
BY the elimination of this waste, by
sharing the optimistic outlook which
is stimulating other lines of industrial
activity and by cooperation with
those engaged in other basic indus
tries, the agricultural industry can
insure a greater degree of prosperity
than would be possible otherwise.
Cooperation of those engaged in the
basic industries is necessary to pre-
vent tax reforms which will increase
the burden of taxation to obstruct
increases in public in
and expenditures; to pro-
mote a better understanding of the !
problems confronting all basic indus
tries to foster a more uniform dis
LributiOn of labor; to secure an equit- /
able adjustment Of freight rates; and I
10 elect to public office officials who
viii serve their constituencies eff
'iently and without discrimination.
Farmers must recognize the inter-
dependence of agriculture. mining,
and transportation.
The prosperity of one is dependent
lpon the prosperity of others. Each
hOuld eliminate wasteful practices
nd willful pessimism that all may
njoy the full benefits of the dawning
IA of prosperity.

that it would be necessary to run

Tonnage in Sight.
William Connolly. superintendent Of
the Washington division of the O.-W.
r. e n, was in the city the first of
the week. He confirmed the report
that his company would repair the
two miles of track and provide a
loading station just above the Helm
ranch. This is only about 1900 feet
from the end of the track. but in that
distance there is a bad washout which
involves a heavy expense to repair a
situation that explains why the load
ing station will not be at the terminus
By utilizing the branch the truck or
wagon haul from Pine creek mines
will be reduced about two miles. Mr..
Connolly said that the company had
no intention of extending the track to
the forks of the creek at this time, but
stood ready to do so and also continue
it further whenever there was tonnage
to justify it.

WHY WAGES WE'RE ADVANCED
IN coEUR D'ALENEs.

In his review of mining condition
throughout the country in Marc
which appeared in the issue of Apr
T. the assistant editor of the Engin
eering and Mining Journal Press ha
this to say in discussing advances i
wages which became effective durin
the month:
In the Occur d'Alene it was as
serted that the increased scale
was the consequence of the high
price of lead In a sense this is
true, because if the lead market
We're not good there would not be
a strong incentive for maximum
productions but the immediate
reason is the action of the copper
mining companies in Butte in
boosting their scale. The COM
paratively low railroad fare be-
tween Butte and Occur d'Alene
promotes flow of workers be-
tween the two places. In a few
instances it was intimated that the
wage increase might be attribut-
ed to an altruistic desire on the
part of the companies to share
with the employees the prosperity
that accompanies 17c copper,
S.25c lead and SC zinc. Generally.
however, il was admitted frankly
that the purpose was to induce
the men by the most direct means
possible to stay on the job: and to
attract others if possible"
That statement is very unfair to the
operators of the Occur d'Alene dis
riot and it is rather surprising that

and president of the Macedonia Min
ing company, left last Monday morn
ing for the property going by way of
Saltese and thence by the Milwaukee

last fall he brought samples of ore
enc of which returned an assay of Az
ounces in silver. This was taken from

being in the bottom and low down in
the face of the drift, indicating that it
was the top of a rich ore shoot. Mr..

VOTE THE BONDS FOR THE NEW
FIRE STATION.

With no opposition to the republic
can city ticket as a whole there may
be tendency among taxpayers to
regard the approaching election as
unimportant overlooking the fact that
the question of issuing municipal
bonds to the extent of $4,000 to build
"a new fire station is also to be passed
upon. The election will be held next
Tuesday and the registration books
close next Saturday evening. Up to
this time the registration has been
very light indicating an apathy
among the taxpayers quite surprising
in view Of the Importance Of the bond
ing question.
10 make provision for the fire de-
partment in keeping with its re-
quirements and the actual needs of
the city is in line with the record of
the people of Wallace who have never
failed to respond afIirmatively when
the question of fire protection has
been the issue. The city now has the
best modern equipment and a well or
ganized fire department, and it is pro-
posed now to provide a modern build
ing which win protect the expensive
equipment and greatly increase the
efficiency Of the department, which
means better protection to property
and lower rates of Insurance. Surely
this is a matter of sufficient import
ance to awaken a lively interest
among the taxpayers of the city.
s. Wallace is without bonded debt or
any other Indebtedness. over twenty
years ago the people with far less
taxable resources than they have to-
day voted bonds for the construction
of sewerage system and these were
paid off with such a slight levy that
taxpayers hardly realized that they
We're being paid. Payment of the pro
posed fire department bonds will be
even less burdensome. because the
new station will result in a direct
cash saving to the taxpayers which
viii to a great extent offset the an
nua interest payments. This will be
accomplished through reduction OF in
surance rates to some extent and
eliminating $3.50 a year rent now paid

contemplated will meet the require
