HOW }. BULL SAVED 100000.
Roise Statesman.

Boise Statesman.
BY taking advantage of one clause
in the debt funding arrangement
which Great Britain has with this
country, she has saved herself, on one
semi-annual payment of the debt, the
sum of S1,s00.000 Under the terms
of the agreement Britain has the
privilege of buying Liberty bonds and
turning them over at their par value
10 the United States in payment of
the debt.
Recently payment of S6s,0OO,O0O
interest and S2S,OO0.O0O principal be-
came due and all of this amount with
the exception OF about $780, which
was paid in gold, was paid in Liberty
bonds. The bonds which were pur-
chased on the market at about 9S, or
, per cent under par, cost Britain
roughly SsO,O99,SOO. When they were
handed over to the United States they
automatically increased in value to
S91499. 500. At the
time of payment, interest on the bonds
was due. increasing the value of the
bonds by about 100000 more, maxi
ing a total Of approximately $91.sss.-
500. And the 5000 in gold made the
payment complete.
In current values the British ac-
tually saved themselves 2 per cent on
this payment, without causing the
United States any actual loss as Lib

of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany, important work is being done
by the Guelph Mining & Milling COM
pany which promises to result in the
development of ore shoots in two
parallel veins. AS told by the Ward
ner Kellogg News, since operations
were started last fall the crosscut has
been advanced 200 feet and will be
continued for 100 feet further in an
easterly direction from where a 80
foot cut to the north will reach the
Guelph VEIN This viii be exposed
at a point beneath an ore showing in
the No. 2 tunnel, 420 feet above this
lower level, and is expected to prove
an important part in the present de-
velopment program. A crosscut to the
south will also be driven from the
end of the tunnel run from the shaft
and at 800 feet it is expected to reach
the eastern extension of the Amber
girls lead at about the same level as
the ore exposure made in the Amber
girls shaft. Drifts will then be start
ed on both veins and the extent of
the ore resources fully disclosed.
The work is being carried on by
two shifts. seven men being employ
ed. Owing to heavy snowfall in that
district sufficient supplies were sent
in last month to continue operations
without delay until next May.

OUTLOOK FOR MINING INDUSTRY
IN 1924.

The record of the year just closed
in the Occur d'Alene district COM
pared with that of other years since
the close of the war makes most
gratifying showing, and the new year
finds the stage set for even greater
achievements. With the exception OF
the Callahan, which closed down on
account Of tine low price OF zine, and
the Hecla, which was forced to sus-
pend on account of fire, the mines Of
the district maintained q normal out
put during 1928, and the high price of
lead and the favorable outlook for the
metal give assurance that they viii
continue in steady production through
out the coming year. Hecla Will be
productive again almost by the time
this issue OF the Miner reaches its
readers, the Hunter viii soon be oper-
ating at maximum capacity, Pine creek
promises to add two or three producing
mines before the year is far advanced,
and before the year is out the Star viii
be Wen advanced toward the produc-
tive stage. Thus so far as production
and payrolls are concerned, the new
year seems destined to rank with the
best in the history of the district
The weak spot in the record of the
year just closed was the limited amount
of mem development work This must
be attributed to nation or world wide
conditions rather than to local. Under
normal conditions there should be no
difficulty in inducing capital to enter
tue GOour u Aiene district Tor carrying
out mining development enterprise.
The long life of the mines, the unlaiiing
demand for lead, the uniform silver
content in the ores, the intimate
knowledge OF geological conditions sur
rounding the ore deposits. and the large
mineral area awaiting systematic and
intelligent exploration, all combine to
make the Occur d'Alenes the most
inviting field for mining Investment.
II it is outside conditions that have
capital coming to the
district to the extent that has prevailed
in former years, we win simply have to
wait until those conditions are read
justed on a more favorable basis ON
the other hand if the trouble is at
home; il we have failed to make
known to the investing public the OPP
here awaiting capital; or +
If in our eagerness to attract capital /
we have overstated the facts. which I
reacts with disastrous
results; if either of these have operated Z
10 the disadvantage OF the district in
The past, then we should start the new
year with a resolution to remedy it.
AS stated in the beginning, the stage is
set for year of great prosperity, and
If there is anything in the local situa-
lion to prevent it's realization. it is up
10 us who are dependent upon the
industry to find out what it is
md remedy it.

Many species of spiders migrate by

open place. with the body elevated.
and projects from the spinnerests a
line of silk which continues to issue
until the spider feels the pull on it by
the wind. It then releases its hold
and clasping the line is borne away

ing arrived at $780, was called by
Mr.. Cannon upon reassembling at
o'clock Mr.. Bartles estimated that
for his company to provide both Of
the proposed trains would cost not
less than 500 per day.
Mr.. Cannon also called Samuel
Denine manager of the Independent
jitney service, who said that the
capacity of his company was about
80 passengers and admitted that jit-
neys could not provide transporta-
ton for the number of men estimated.
He also admitted that his service had
failed to deliver men to their work
the past two days on account of the
cold.
William H. Hoover, Office manager
of the Hercules Mining company at
Burke, emphasized the housing short
age at Burke and the necessity to
have the train service to relieve the
situation. Mr.. Hoover also brought
cut the deplorable mail and express
service and the impossibility of i'm
proving it without regular train ser
vice.
L. f. Hanley, superintendent of the
Hecla mine at Burke, covered very
much the same ground at Mr.. Nc
Carthy, manager of the Hecla, and
Mr.. Hoover, of the Hercules. He
emphasized the impossibility of pro-
viding temporary accommodations at
Burke and how failure to provide
trains would operate greatly to the
disadvantage of the mines. He also
confirmed Mr.. Hoovers statements
regarding the poor mail and express
service.
Large Attendance.
The court room was crowded in the
evening with Wallace business men,
most of whom were there to give their
support to the train movement, and
also a large number of employees of
the mines at Burke who live in Wal
lace and who are anxious to secure
trains to relieve them from the I'M
comfortable and unreliable jitneys.
Following Mr. Hanley, Mr.. Rossi
stated that ne could call any number
to testify in support of the trains
but as it would be a repetition of what
had already been given, he saw no
for doing So However, he
invited any one who desired to do so
to take the stand. No one did so,
and Mr. Rossi said that he felt
sufficient showing had been made to
the commission that there
Is an actual and pressing necessity
for the train service. He also stated
that he appreciated the liberal atti-
Lude of the Northern Pacific in being
willing to provide one train and did
not desire to impose upon that COM
oany, but felt that in view of the
that exists and the time
'equired to get action on the O.-W
R. & n, the commission would be
justified in requiring the Northern
Pacific to supply both trains until the
Nv. can be brought into line.
This ended the hearing and it is
expected that a decision will be
cached by the commission at an early
late.

Lamb ThretD Gift Books

In none of the letters or lives Of
Lamb have I found evidence that he
ever bought a new book. His literary
interests we're of no profit to- publish
ers. The battered veterans on his
shelves welcomed no dapper young re-
cruits; but he received numerous pres
entation copies from authors, and such
volumes, too modern to please his
fancy, he was wont to throw over the
wall into Westwood's garden, writes
Harry B. Smith in Scribners.
In this manner was formed the IL
brary of the younger Thomas West
wood, then boy of thirteen.
"a Leigh Hunt" he wrote 40 years
afterward, would come Swimming to

Long ago March II was known as
the anniversary of the date on which
Noah and his family entered the ark.
Many hundreds of years ago, before
there were theaters In England plays
used TO be given In front Of the
churches by the priests who acted out
Bible stories. When March IL came
around a very funny play about Noah
and his wife was performed. Mrs.
Noah was woman Of a hot temper
who thought her husband was quite
losing his mind by building an ark.
She refused fatty to live In it, even
when the rain began to fall in torrents,
The quarrel between Noah and his
wife lasted until the water got so high
that the shrieking woman had to jump
in the ark at the end to save herself
from drowning.

year in and year out surveying coast
lines and mapping the little-known

The photographic department of the

seas charted, and 40 officers and 700
men are under the control of a rear
