partment at Occur d'Alene that the
assays had been made by Mr.. Dozier.
with regard to the results said to
have been secured by c. c. Titus from
the ores of the Homebuilder company
we feel it best to withhold comment
except to state that his results have
been uniformly much lower than Mr..
Dozier's, usually showing quantities of
platinum less than 1 o. to the ton
Notwithstanding this fact however,
at last advices Mr.. Titus had consist
emily refused to assay the set of pulps
which were sent to him from the sam
pies taken in the Homebuilder prop
erty as a part of this investigation.
Conclusions.
"The conclusions to be drawn from
this study are quite obvious. In the
first place sufficient evidence has been
accumulated to satisfy any reasonable
man that platinum is not present in
any of the samples collected from the
three properties visited, and since the
samples were carefully taken, under
standard conditions and at points des-
ignated by approved representatives
of the parties in question, as those
from which previous platinum assays
had been returned. the conclusion
seems clearly unacceptable that the
owners have been mistaken with re-
gard to the existence in their proper
ties OF platinum in commercial
amounts.
$50 far as the local operators are
concerned there seems every reason to
believe that they have been honestly
convinced of the existence of platin
UNI in their properties, and that the
responsibility for the unjustified plat
mum boom at Occur d'Alene City must
be placed upon certain so-called assay
ers rather than upon the good citizens
of Idaho, who are the owners of the

THE LEAD SITUATION is LOOK
ING BETTER.

The price of lead seems to have
struck bottom and has again taken an
upward turn which promises to reach
&c and possibly nc as quickly as it
slipped from that high estate during
the past few weeks. Last Monday the
price advanced from &c to 6hc, and
this sudden strength developed in the
market is taken by the best authori-
ties on lead to mean that other adj
vances viii soon follow. While the
decline in the price had not resulted
in any curtailment of production by
Occur dAlene companies, it had new
ertheless produced depression in the
public mind with respect to lead min
ing at a time when conditions had
given an optimistic outlook for the
industry. The first explanation for
the cause OF the slump seems to have
been the correct one, namely, that it
was due to the weakness of the Lon
don market and the consequent tend
ency to dump foreign lead on the
United States market This was
averted by successive cuts in the do
nestle price to meet the varying
stages of the market in Europe, a
movement which practically prevented
the importation of foreign lead. AT
the same time there was also a no
ticeable weakening of the domestic
demand, due mainly to the tying mp
of building operations in the east
The upward turn in the price is said
to reflect improved market conditions .
in Europe, removing the menace of .
foreign competition in the domestic
market. The outlook is more hope
ul for a permanent adjustment of \
affairs in Europe, and if this proves
well grounded the demand will soon
absorb the foreign output of lead
leaving the American market unham-
perde by threat of imports, a condition
which will insure "a stable and profit
able market for domestic lead.

Wallace Men Return From Property
in Sanders County Montana.

Wallace Men Return From Property
in Sanders County, Montana.
Jesse Freeman and H. v Edwards
returned from Sanders county, Mon
tana, the first of the week, where they
went a few weeks ago to perform the
annual assessment work on group Of
claims owned by the u. 5. Copper Mi
ming company, of which they are the
controlling stockholders. The group is
situated about II miles from ThOmp-
son and about five miles east of the
Jack Waite mine. Little work has
been done on the property. but it is
one that justifies extensive develop
ment, as described by Mr.. Freeman.
The vein is exposed for 400 feet on
the surface and has an average width
of about eight feet Assays show
copper, gold silver and lead but the
appearance of the ledge indicates that
the values have leached and that it
will be necessary to get below water
level to find pay ore. A tunnel has
been run about 100 feet on the vein,
which shows a similar leached cOndi
ton. Mr.. Freeman regards it as one
Of the most remarkable showings he
has ever seen and says that consider
alton is being given to starting devel-
1pment as soon as the company is
freed from certain legal entangle-
ments.

EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT A LIT.
TIE MORE HOPEFUL.

The statement of the British pre-
mier anent the Ruhr situation holds
out some hope that a solution for
Europe's troubles is about to be
sought 1t is significant that Premier
baldwin made no mention of the Unit
ed States in connection with his plans.
His visit to this country as chief of
the British debt commission evidently
confirmed him in the opinion that the
United States will not deviate from
its policy of non-interference. Amer
lea has waited for the nations of Eur
ope to take some steps to put their
own house in order. and Mr.. Baldwin
has made the first move in that direc-
ton. When European countries have
a proper spirit of COM
promise in composing their differences,
the United States will not be found
wanting in lending all proper aid to-
ward a permanent world settlement.

SENATOR 5ORAH AT KELLOGG
ON AUGUST II.

The big feature of the annual labor
celebration at Kellogg next month
will be an address by Senator w. r.
Borah. This is an occasion that al
ways attracts a large attendance, but
it is safe to predict that the record
viii be broken this year through the
appearance of the senior Idaho sena-
tor, for it makes no difference whether
you like or dislike Senator Borah, you
want to hear him speak When he
comes to Shoshone county he will be
among friends. This does not mean
that the people here are in agreement
and sympathy with him on all the
great questions upon which he has
declared his convictions with so much
force and eloquence; quite the con-
trary. Many disagree with him in his
insistence upon recognition of Rus
STA; many more think he is wrong in
the pardoning of war pris-
oners; and coming down to state
questions, still many more are lined
up against him on the direct primary;
but. after allowing for all differences !
there are few people in this county |
who do not admire his courage of
his brilliant intellect and /
MS forceful eloquence, and who are not /
proud that Idaho can claim him for
Ter own So when the senator APP I
'ears in Kellogg on August IL, he will +
re greeted by a great gathering from
III parts of the county for they know
hey will hear speech that will make
heir coming worth while.

away of the naval commanders who
became famous in the war with Spain.
At the head Of the list is Admiral
Dewey, hero of Manila bay, whose
brilliant work in destroying the Span
ish fleet at once earned recognition Of
the United States as a world power
and marked the end of Spanish rule
in the philippine islands. Then there
were Admiral Sampson and Admiral
schley who divided the honors Of vic
tory over the Spaniard in Cuban wat
ers off the entrance to Santiago har-
Dor; also Captain Clark. who sailed
the Oregon around the Horn and kept
his ship in fighting trim to participate
in the battle that practically destroy
ed the Spanish navy. Others less con-
spicuous, but with records that added
laurels to the American navy could
be named All have now passed away
The World war demonstrated the Won
derful efficiency of the navy, but it did
not bring out the daring and individ-
ual initiative and brilliant achieve
ment that characterized the few
months warfare with Spain.

QUARTER OF A CENTURY AFTER
THE SPANISH WAR.

The death few days ago of Admir-
al sigsbee reminds us that quarter
OF century has passed since the
great tragedy was enacted in Havana
harbor which precipitated the war
with Spain. After many months of
negotiating and the filing of numerous
protests against the barbarous rule of
the Spaniards in Cuba, the battleship
Maine, under the command of the then
Captain Sigsbee, was sent to Havana
on peaceful mission, the hope being
that the presence of-an American bat
tleship on a friendly visit might be
the means of enabling the United
states to bring about settlement of
the warfare between the mother coun-
try and her rebellious subjects. on
the night of February 10, 1895, while
the Maine swung at anchor in the
harbor of Havana at the place desig-
mated 10y the port authorities, terri

American seamen. As a thunderbolt
is often the precursor of a great storm.
SO the destruction of the Maine and
the loss of its gallant crew of sailors

ercan people who demanded that
spain should be driven from the
western hemisphere. and that the re-
public of Cuba should be recognized as
an Independent nation. President

THE AUToFOOL APTLY DEScRlB-

In spite of road laws, warning signs,
speed cops. fines and Imprisonment,
the automobile lunatic is still at large
and continues his harvest OF death at
street intersections. railroad crossings,
blind curves and even on the broad
and straight highway which the lun-
attic at the wheels looks upon as his
own private speedway. Probably
nothing but a binding law under
which he may be absolutely prohibit
ed from driving a car will even pene-
trate his ivory and admit a ray of
sanity TO guide his machine. It is Of
course realized that publicity will do
no good. but it is nevertheless a salts
faction to call attention to his mad
career for it may at least assist in
public sentiment in ia
