FIRST JUNIOR PROM
MAKES SCHOOL HISTORY
Most Beansifnl Of scAool social Ac.
complishments at Fraternal Hail
Last Saturday Night.

4 The Fraternal Hall In this clty on
last Saturday evening was scene of
surprising beauty. Here was staged
by the 81 members of the class of "a
of the Nezpcrce High School the first
.Ianior Prom our community has
known And, even to the pracficed
eyes of those who have directed and
otherwise participated in similar af-
fairs, there was nothing missing.
The decorations were made up of
many rolls Of vari-colored crepe paper
cut into strips and woven into dome
like canopy over the entire hall, with
a drapery of streamers from the outer
edges of this canopy to the floor, just
far enough from the walls to clear the
row of chairs around the walls; with
artistically draped arehways for pas
sage at the center of three sides
through the shimmoring screen, and at
the further end of the hall large
rainbow arch whore bank of flowers
partially .obscured the refreshment
booth, where little Misses Eleanor
Ransier and Dorothy Harding, in fairy
costumes served punch and waters.
Special invitations had been senF
out, and though the evening was rainy
and exceedingly disagreeable, about
40 couples were present, including the
following out of town guests: Misses
Evelyn Klaus, katherine Dennis, Mil
dred Jesse, Elizabeth Hollingsworth
and Herbert Nixon, Vernon Eastman,
Frank Shultz and Leo Jesse, Of Lew
iston; Elbert stellmon, Idaho Univer-
sity, and Ellery Martin, of Ferdinand
The opening phase of the program
was character stunts representing the
several members of the Senior Glass
by grade pupils. Dancing made up the
big number, and this with a carnival
like finale in showers of confetti.
The patrons and patronesses were:
Mr. and Mrs r. A. Rantz, Mr.. and

SONORA STRIKES NEW ORE.
High Grade and Mill Feed Developed

mouth of Sonora gulch above Burke is
apparently coming into its own after

Washington Water Power company in
this district, are responsible for the
new development work.

which apparently had not been pros
pected by the lower workings. They
hired miners to drive surface cuts on
this showing, which work proved so
favorable that it was decided to run a
lower tunnel, or rather an inteImedI-
ate tunnel to open the vein about 100
feet below the surface. This tunnel
has now been completed and the vein
encountered with a mineral showing
far beyond the expectations of the
owners This new tunnel shows a well
defined vein of lead-silver ore; about
10 inches is high grade cube galena in
a quartz gangue, and besides this
there is about four feet wide of mill
ing ore in a quartzite vein filling.
Taken altogether it is the best show
ing of ore ever uncovered on the Son
ora property, and the owners are fee
ing very optimistic about it. Several
local engineers have examined the
new find and report it TO be an ex-
cellent mineral showing and worthy

STRIKE RICH ORE
IN SISTERS MINE
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER REAL
ODUCER-FOUND BY A
LEASING COMPANY.

The Sisters Leasing company oper-
ating the Sisters property in the Burke
canyon just outside the city limits of
Wallace, has opened a new body of
ore that gives every promise of be
coming a real producer.
The new strike was made in ~aise
in the east workings, and while not
enough work has been done to deter
mine the full extent Of the find
enough ore has been opened to assure
several carload shipments. The vein
appears to, be an entirely new lind.
running more east and west than any
ore heretofore found in the mine IT
is also outside of the zone of the Os-
burn fault, while other ore bodies
worked have been closely connected
with the fault. At the present time
the raise shows four feet wide Of solid
ore which gives assay returns of 81
per cent lead, As ounces silver and II
per cent zinc. This ore is being sack
ed for shipment and about one carload
is now ready for the smelter.
The leasing company is composed
of local men. Dan Murphy is pres-
dent; Allan G. Kennedy, secretary
treasurer, and associated with them
are Herman Rossi, L. L. Brainard,
Victor Turnquist Sam Hammer
Amos Thompson and Ed Roberts, who
is mine manager
The company has expended a large
amount of money in equipping the
property and in development work in
an effort to locate a body of CONNER
cial ore and while doing this work
they have shipped s9614S5 worth of
ore, net returns.

on the flats. Last season the leases
had the National mill under lease, and

Wallace preparations are being made
for an active program of development
and production. For the past year. or
since the company assumed charge OF
the property on company account. no
attempt has been made at quantity
production The work in the mine
has been confined to new development
and the retimbering of bad ground
left in the Slopes by the leasers. This
work has now all been caught up. and
in the meantime enough ore has been
shipped to meet all expenses and leave
a substantial amount i'm the treasury
The shaft has been unwatered and
new ore shoots opened up so feet be
low the tunnel level Several ears of
high grade have been shipped from
this development work without doing
any stopping. and all of these cars
have netted the company from $4,000
to $500 per car. Stopping is now be
ing started on this level and from now
on the company expects to ship at
least one car of high grade ore every
week. The ore shoot on this level is
said to average over two feet wide of
solid shipping ore

Old Property.

Kellogg Man Developing New Ore in
Old Property.
The leasing company composed of
Kellogg men, including W. w. Papesh,
Fred Rush and Andrew Cowles, who
have been prospecting the old Wyo-
ming property owned by the Bunker
Hill company, a short distance to the
west of Government gulch, is report
ed to have opened up a large tonnage
of milling ore. It is said there are
streaks of high grade on three levels
on this old property which will insure
considerable tonnage.
Practically no development has been
done on this old property since about
1917, when operations were discOntin-
ued beyond what was done by a few
Ieasers until about a year ago. Then
the present leasing company was or
ganized and it has succeeded in de-
veloping the old property to a point
that will shortly place it back among
the producers of the district, it is stat
ed.
The mill recently taken over is said
to have a capacity of $50 tons daily
It is to be overhauled and partly re-
modelled for the treatment of the Wy
oming ores. The company has order
ed a 4-drill compressor which is now
on the ground and being installed. AS
soon as the work of installation has
been completed it is the intention of
the leasing company to start breaking
ore for the concentration.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT.

Zinc, lbs. ....-.---- -..-...........- 100000
Gold. silver copper lead and zinc
was produced from mines in Idaho in
1922 to the value of s1S,399OOO ac-
cording to an estimate by c. n. Ger
ny, of the United States geological
survey. In 1921 it was s15.776,S1
The production of zinc and copper in
creased, gold decreased, and silver and
lead were nearly the same as in 1921.
The increase in total value was due
largely to the increase in the price of
lead In general mining conditions
improved in 1922 The labor situation
was better metal prices were in
creasing and freight rates were reduc-
ed Production was retarded, how
ever by the idleness of the Hercules
and Tamarack e Custer mines for
about seven months
The mine output of gold in Idaho in
1922 was valued at 100000. as com
pared with s545,731 in 1921. AS in
other recent years. a large part of the
gold output in 1922 came from the
gold Hill & Iowa mine at Quartzburg,
and the dredge of the Yukon Gold
company at Murray but the output
from both these properties decreased.
The silver output decreased slight
ly from 6.OSO,52S ounces in 1921 to s.,
$4,000 ounces in 1922 The largest
silver producers in the state were the
Bunker Hill e Sullivan, at Kellogg.
the Hecla mine at Burke and the Nor
ming mine of the Federal Mining &
Smelling company.
The mine output of copper increas-
ed from 1,6SS,195 pounds in 1921 to g.,
946. 900 pounds in 1922 The value Of
the output increased from s217777 to
