other way, just what sort Of a good
for nothing affair the show was, so
that our officials here could have
headed it off, and if not then, after
they arrived, organized volunteer
company to egg them out of town.
The people who went expected some

with free comps were sore, and felt
| it cost them too much. There is
nothing wrong with. a good circus,
and people are willing to pay the
price TO see one, but there should be
some way other than by mob vio-
lence, to put such wouldbe shows
out of existence.
,, In spite of the rain, keeping coun-

that the Miller show took about
81 900 out of this place-more than

takes in at the picture shows for a

affords, all too for less than one

served seat TO the Miller shows.
Still there are some who think the
opera house admission too much,
Again there were those who were

of Chautauqua, with its uplifting in

No, boys and girls, and all others

were disappointed in not getting to
do so, thank the good Lord for the
rain which kept you away.

A ROTTEN CIRCUS

Many a youngster, and older ones
too, for that matter, in the county
we will venture, We're keenly disap-
pointed last Thursday because there
was a constant downpour of rain.
This was the day when the Miller
circus was to appear here. Bad as
were the disappointments because of
the rain, which kept so many away,
guise, and what a shame it was that
it did not storm hard enough or do
something worse, so that not single
person would have attended the so
called circus We say $50 called"
because it was not worthy Of the
name Of circus.
1t was supposed to have come on
the morning train, but didn't get in
until late. That could be, and was.
excused. When the tents were pitch
ed on the common, from outside ap-
pearanees it would seem that it
might be a fairly good little circus.
However those who went were, we
will venture to state, the most keen
ly disappointed so far as show going
is concerned, of any time in their
lives. The only thing resembling
first class show was the tent, and
price of admission-the latter was
the same as the price of Ringling's
or Robinson's or any other first class
show. Their menagerie tent, which
was a good sized one, contained
nothing to speak of but a couple Of
old mountain lions, and an extra ad-
mission was required to see these
wonders" in addition to the price
to the 'big show The circus prop
er had three or four performers, and
two dogs of fair ability, the latter de-
serving of much sympathy in having
to be hitched up with such a bunch.
There were but very few seats to ac-
commOdate the general admissions.
The object of this was to force such
as could not get rush seats, to the re-
served seats of which there were
plenty at soc extra per. The only
redeeming feature of the burned"
thing was that it lasted less than an
hour. Other tents of good size con-
tanned gambling. and an immoral
side show. In fact the whole rotten |
business had the ear marks of the
tag end of busted up carnival"
When we knew a goodly number
of our people went and took the chill |
dren, we thought what a blessing it
would have been had the officers of !
some place where it previously show

in the city the first of the week to
confer with s. f. Peel local manager
regarding the large interests of the
company in this district. While here
Mr.. Buck also conferred with Herman
j. Rossi secretary of the Amazon
Dixie Mining company, regarding the
use of the big transformer at Taft for
connection with an electric power line
the company is planning to extend to
the Richmond mine. This transformer
was installed by the Amazon Dixie
company, and is still its property
although used by the Montana Power
company in furnishing power for the
Amazon Dixie mine. Although Mr.
Rossi was not in position to give a
definite answer without first submit
ting it to Wesley Everett, president
and manager of the company, who is
now in Cleveland. it is altogether prob
able that the power company will be
given permission to use it. Electric

iCorrects Statement in Connection
With Recent Discovery.
In giving an account of the recent
mineral discovery on Jewel gulch, near
Osburn, it appears that the Miner was
very much in error in stating that the
lucky discoverer Jasper Allamanno,
was not a miner although the state
ment was based upon what this paper
regarded as reliable authority Mr..
Allamanno naturally objects to this
statement going uncorrected. He
states that he has been engaged in
mining most of his life, and was en-
ployed in the mines of this district for
three or four years, for verification of
which he referred to several well
known mining men. The Miner is
pleased to make the correction, and
also to add that the remarkable dis
covery made by Mr. Allamanno gives
strong Indication of being the begin
ming of large and valuable ore body
He is preparing now to start a cross
cut tunnel that will cut the vein at a
depth Of about $50 feet by running a
distance.

Manager Gives Optimistic Outlook
for Immediate Future.
In outlining plans now being carried
out by the Carney Copper company,
J. L. Martin, of Mullan, president and
manager of the company says:
THE Carney Copper company, own
ing group of seven claims and three
fractions miles southeast of Null
Ian, has let a contract to resume work
in No. 8 tunnel ZOO feet south of the
Northern Pacific railroad at the Car
Donate Hill camp. This tunnel is in
5i4 feet and only requires go feet more
TO reach the point of intersection with
the ledge as per former surveys. It
will be of special interest to the share
holders to know that this work has
been financed by the sale of treasury
stock and that there is not likely to
be an assessment this spring or sum-
mer.
THE Carney is one Of the most
promising prospects in the Occur
dAlenes, having shipped two cars of
good ore several years ago. and owing
to the depression in the metal mar
kets and difficult task of raising funds
for development purposes has been al
lowed to lay quiet awaiting the re-
period and revival in in
terest in mining. Now that both are
here the Carney company has under

MERRIAM MAKING NEW
MAP OF THE COEUR
D'ALENE DISTRICT

c. F. o. Merriam. mining engi-
neer of this city, is engaged in
making a new map Of the Occur
d'Alene district patterned after
the Merriam Map of several years
ago, which proved exceedingly
popular, but not profitable. The
present map is being made for a
group of Spokane men. by whom
il will be distributed The map
will be sSx26 inches. It will COW
er a wider territory than any
previous map. extending from
Kingston on the west to Saltese,
Mont, on the east, and from the
head of Eagle creek on the north
to a line five miles south of Wal
lace in the st. Joe section. 1t will
include the entire Pine creek
section. the North Side, Slate
creek and the copper belt on the
st. Joe and the territory east as
far as Saltese. The map will be
up to date and will show all the
groups of surveyed claims in the
territory covered. The Outstand-
ing feature of the map is that
instead Of showing each individ-
ual claim, ii simply shows the
outline of each group of claims
with the name. This method sup
plies all the information usually
desired and permits reducing the
map TO a convenient size. Mr..
Merriam will probably have the
map completed this week and it
