REMARKABLE ORE BODY
 ON B. C. SILVER

Probably the richest large ore body so far opened up in the district is now being mined on the B. c. Silver. AS it is the company's policy to give out no information concerning the mine operations save through the head office, full details could not be obtained. It is known, however, that the big vein is remarkable in many re- spects. It is said to average be- tween 10 and IA feet in width and is of shipping grade throughout, although a large part carries extraordinary val ues. Native silver is visible in practically every foot of the rock across the width of the vein, while lenses carrying both silver and free gold are said to be common. So far as can be learned the vein is not an extension of the Premier mine vein system, and is To- cated a considerable distance from the north boundary line of Premier. The ore is being extracted and sacked for ship ment, without sorting, practic- ally every ounce of it being of shipping grade. Reliable in- formants state that the ore IS so rich that it would not be, difficult in the least to sorL large quantities that would run into six or seven hundred dollars per ton. The general average is said to run from around $130 to $180 per ton.
 Shipments of ore are coming down from the mine in lots of about 10 tons daily. About 100 tons is now at the dock await ing transportation to the smelt- CT. As previously announced, the company plans to continu. shipments at the rate of about 300 tons per month through out the winter.

Inaugurating a new experi- mental policy as to service orl Christmas day, the Postmaster General has issued instructions to postmasters throughout the United States to suspend all work at 12 o'clock midnight December 24, except to retain on duty on Christmas day only such employees as are required to make the regular holiday dispatches of first class mail to trains and to receive but nol distribute, incoming mails from trains. The order suspends city deliveries, village deliveries ol rural deliveries on Christmas Day, although special delivery mail will be handled and de- livered as usual.
 In a statement accompanying the order Postmaster General New says that the experiment is being tried for the dual pun. pose of furthering it's "mail early" campaign to insure the delivery of all mail before Christmas Day. and to place the postoffice on a holiday basis with other businesses on Christmas Day.
 In keeping with the above Or der, the local office will not make deliveries between mid night December 24 and mid. night on the 25th.

The new community hall at Premier has been completed and was formally dedicated Monday night, according to visitors from the mine.
 The new structure is 30 by 80 feet in size and forms a splendid addition to the camps fine array of buildings, as well as providing ample accommo- 'dations for entertainments, dance, etc.
 The first of the festivities to take place in the new building was the annual Christmas tree held Tuesday evening i'll conjunction with an entertain ment by the Premier school children.

BIG VALUES ON
 THE PORTER IDAHO

Ore of far greater average value than any heretofore found on that noted property is being mined on the Porter Idaho as a result of the recent discovery of an hitherto un- known vein in the 300 foot tunnel run last summer. A cross cut run on the new vein has revealed an ore body 20 feet in width with a high grade vein 8 feet wide which carries exceptional values over it's entire width. Three samples taken across this section of the vein this week gave assay returns of 5O4 oz. silver, 29 per cent lead; TAO OF. silver, 21 per cent lead; $40 oz. silver 9 per cent lead, while a fourth sample taken from a vein of zinc ore 8 to 10 inches thick along the foot wall gave assay of IA OF. in silver, in addition to the zinc, the percentage of which was not determined. The remaining 12 feet of the ore body carries ore of good commercial grade. In addition, to the above an assay of the lead carbonates in one of the ore samples mentioned-that showing TAO OF. silver-show- ed silver values of 220 ounces.
 Owing to it's exceptional size managing director Clay Portel expects to break down and store enough ore from this body during the winter to keep the pack train going all sum mer.
 A crew of five men is employ ed, taking out ore and extend Ing the cross cut to tap at depth the rich ore body on which a winze was sunk last summer.

Preliminary reports from sal mon packers in the first divis- ion of the territory, indicates a total pack for Southeastern Alaska of 2,676,693 cases for season of 1925, This total is 111,096 cases less than the 1924 pack. Final reports, it is expected, will virtually wipe out this shortage, as some can neries have not been heard from, and some of the earlier rigures submitted to the Bur eau of-Fisheries, will probably be under the actual pack, it is said.

DUNWELL PLANNING
 ORE SHIPMENTS

High grade ore shipments ap- proximating 300 tons per month are contemplated by the Dunwell company during pres ent winter according to reli- able reports from Stewart. The shipments are to be inaugu- rated soon after the first of the year and arrangements for handling the ore are already under way. Around one hun dred tons of ore is reported sacked and ready for the first shipment, which will be sent down as soon as means of transportation are provided between the mine and wagon road. This will be obtained by the construction of a short tram from the mouth of the tunnel, where the ore is stored, to the wagon road terminal.

THE GREAT

Net earnings of the six chef lead-silver producers in the Occur d'Alene district of Idah3 total S102,021.981 since 1ooo-- 9 period of twenty-three years, or an average for each of those years of $4,435,738-accora- to sworn statements filed u1- der the laws of 1902, says tha Southwest Mining News.
 Bunker Hill 6 Sullivan, the greatest mine of it's kind in the world, is credited with $3O,- 600,852; Federal Mining os Smelling Co.,, owner of the Morning mine, with $20,31o,-
 195; Hercules, owned by the Day family and exhausted as a big producer last year, $21,- 09,149; Hecla still producing at even higher levels than in the past, $15,525,752: Tama- rack 6 Custer, $6, 6,570,727 (an since 19t4): Interstate Calla- han, $7,402, ,3O4, practically all paid during war years, when zinc, it's principal pro. duct, stood at high levels. l These figures by no means represent the total profits VOL from this great district.

TACOMA CAPITALISTS
 SHOW INCLINATION FOR.
 MINING INVESTMENT


 Interest in mining develop ment may soon be revived in Tacoma, recalling a quarter of a century ago when the en- tire Northwest found the topic of prime interest, according to Pat Daly, late superintendent of the Big Missouri and wide ly known local mining man, in a recent statement to the Ia coma News Tribune.
 MT. Daly points to a dozen oI more prominent Tacomans who are associated in the recently organized Big Missouri Mining Go. and the purchase of that noted property as evidence of the revival of interest in min- ing ventures on the part of Ia coma capitalists. Among the number named by MT. Daly as interested in the Big Missouri are: George H. Osgood, presi- dent of the company; J. T. Gregory, Frank D. Oakley, H. A. Henton, K. B. Kellogg, W. E. Wilmot, G. A. de Haseth. Commander J. w. Woodrum, w. Carr Morrow, Stanton War burton, w. L. Mccormack and A. R. Watson.
 'I estimate" he is reported as saying, "that there is be, tween $30,O00,000 and S5O,- 000,O00 in gold and silver in that mine. I expect it to be the one wonder mine in the world"
 T have just returned from the mine. The camp is provis- toned until June. We have two machine drillers working two shifts a day and five drill compressors. At present all work is confined to drifting on different ore bodies and by the l first of June we will have blocked out 100000 tons of ore"
 The article states that in a directors meeting called i'm mediately after MT. Daly's ar rival in Tacoma he reported the results of the past seasons operations and informed the officials of the progress that { has been made.
 ! In this connection it may bt stated that MT. Daily is an i'm i portant factor in the newly or ganized Big Missouri Mining 1 Go.
 ! According to a message re. ceived by the Herald from the company headquarters at Ia coma, and signed by the presi- dent, MT. Daly was called to Tacoma expressly to receive, and accepted, an official posit- ion with the new company. The communication states further that future develop mnt on the Big Missouri will be carried on under the com, bined direction of MT. Daily and Harry Townsend, the not ed mining engineer.
 The News Tribune article re ferred to says that the new company plans to install a mill of 1000 tons capacity at the mine, but when this will be started has not been determin- ed. MT. Daly expects to remain in Tacoma until after the holi- days, when he will return to the Big Missouri, according to

THE SECRET OF POWER

There is no one direction in
which leaders of public opinion
should set an example for the
community as in the direction of
cultivating the habit of patient
consideration of problems free
from hysteria and violence and
bitterness. In every mans life
there is constant temptation to
whack away with a bludgeon
without thought of where the
blows land. Rarely such method
is right. Generally anger defeats
itself. The man or the commun-
ity or the state which has the pa
thence TO await confirmation of
its anger by fact is the one which
decides rightly and progressively.
Edmund Burke uttered pro-
found truth when he said. 1T is
ordered in the eternal constitu-
ton of things that men of in
temperate minds cannot be free:
their passions forge their fet-
ters." To be sure the man who
thinks without feeling is apt to
be more powerless than the man
who feels without thinking. But
the man who keeps his feelings
within the bounds OF reason.
thereby making his emotion a
thing of light as well as of heat,
is the really conquering man.
There is no quality so necessary
in the rightful ordering Of life as
the quality of intellectual recti-
tude: the careful desire never to
hit below the belt even for tenn
porary advantage; the habit of
practicing a just regard for the
evidence of fact. There could be
no finer tribute won by leaders
than to have il said Of them as
Albert Parker Fitch said of a
group of Harvard instructors:
They handled ideas as scrupu-
lousy as the banker handles his
clients money. Their pride in
honest thinking, the moral obi
cation to be Just. disinterested,
accurate in thinking. is noble
witness to great Inheritance"

CALVIN COOLIDGE PUTS
1T THIS WAY

We want cooperation preach
ed as a principle, not a panacea.
Ii will not perform miracles. II
will not accomplish the impos-
sible. But il is a sound. tried.
demonstrated principle that must
be introduced at the basis of our
agricultural establishment. II
demands that the individual shall
surrender some part of his
complete independence for his
own and general good. 1t means
that a certain authority must be
delegated. and when delegated.
it must be supported. There
must be faith. good will,
patience. IL must be understood
that no very spectacular achiev-
ments will be wrought. The Co
operative Association, which es-
tablishes grades and standards
encourages the good and elimin-
ates the poor varieties. increases
the efficiency of the production.
provides unified product adapt
ed to its market, organizes its
distribution. creates confidence
in its products and its methods
that kind of an association is
doing the best that cooperation
can do. II will serve both the
seller and the buyer. Under wise
leadership it will succeed. More
than anything else We need a
generation of farmers trained to
cooperation: and to get that We
need able, courageous. determin-
ed leadership. and most of all,
leadership that will not desert
the farmer. but will stay by
him."

Two more days were spent al
Withee with friends. Being in
Withee two Sundays we had the
opportunity of hearing and reap.
ing the benefits of good sermons
by two pastors of the Danish
Lutheran church-the first Sun.
day by Rev. p. H. Petersen, their
local pastor, and the second Sun.
day by Rev. Chr. Stockholm from
Fredsville, Iowa.
The Petersen family who were
former resident of Askov, leaving
here eight years ago for Califor-
MIA and later Michigan, appear to
be very contented at Withee to
which place they came about two
months ago. The people there
are also well pleased with the
Pedersens. The two children
Alma and Harald-were small
tots when they left Askov. Alma,
entering her third year of high
school. is bright and pleasant
young lady-the real type of
American girl-and Harald, en-
tering his second year of high, is
just at the overgrown age and
enjoys his bicycle riding.
The A. p. Andersen family,
also former Askov settlers, have a
fine farm at Withee, having re-
Gently completed a large and
modern dwelling house on same.
They as well as the Pedersens

Monday morning the journey
was started homeward, back in

who had spent the time visiting

in and out through thick forests,
and good road to drive on. A

BRYAN's FAvORITE STORY

AS Bryan was fond of telling
it, a preacher and lawyer were
talking shop. The preacher said
to the lawyer: What do you do
when you make a mistake in a
speech before a jury?" Said the
lawyer: 1T depends upon the
character of the mistake. If it
is slight error, | let it go. If
important, | correct it. What
do you do when you make a mis-
take in a sermon?" Il follow
your plan," replied the preacher.
IF it is serious error | correct
it. If slight, | let it go. For in
stance in my sermon Sunday /
started to say that the Devil is
the father of all liars, but what
| did say was, The Devil is the
father of all lawyers. However,
it was a trifle and | let it CO."

author of the History of Door
County"
In the preface of the book Mr..
Holland quotes the impressions of
Door county given by Prof. c. M.
Moss, of Urbana, Illinois, who has
summered at Ephraim for forty
years, while he tells in brief the
background for the book and its
purpose.
Il cannot picture it as much
less than a bit of the outer rim of
Paradise" asserts Mr.. Moss.
What with the rugged newness
of the surroundings, its peaceful
quiet so full of the very breath of
serene life to one who could APP
preciate its soul in invigorating
influence, the simple, genuine
kindness of the people, their
calm and hopeful religious life, it
resembles the sleep of young
child, trustful and undisturbed
by the clamor of disquiet of the
day, yet throbbing with a fresh
life animating its being.
The city of Sturgeon Bay, as
before mentioned, is the farther
most point on the peninsula
that has railroad service so the
inhabitants of Washington Island
are about so miles from the rail
road. We were also told that
there is no physician north of
Sturgeon Bay. 1t is therefore not
well for the Islanders to have any
physical disorders especially in
the winter time. They are un-
doubtedly a sturdy lot anyway
being way out there between the
dashing waves of Green bay and
Lake Michigan with plenty of
fresh cool air. The city
of Sturgeon Bay is also located
on a beautiful harbor by the same
name, projecting in from Green
bay. A channel has been dug
from there to Lake Michigan,
making it possible for big boats
to sail through. Sturgeon Bay is
an important port for boats ply
ing from Chicago, Milwaukee and
other lake ports to Marinette and
Menominee.
Leaving Sturgeon Bay later
that afternoon the journey was
directed to Algoma on the shores
of Lake Michigan. The drive
along the shore there is a most
beautiful and picturesque one,
Mr.. Hansen suggested that we
take dip in the lake just for the
novelty of it. even though the
water seemed a little cool. The
ladies refused but Mr.. Hansen
and the writer jumped in. 1t was
outside of breakwater and the
waves rolled Justify. The water
felt as if it were at the freezing
point, not another soul was out
bathing at that point and it was
some novelty, Ten minutes
was enough.
Indians had settlements at
Algoma way back in the seven
teenth century and number of
Indian graves can be found at
that place.
The refreshing dip put more
pep into the driving and we were
soon at Green Bay where we
stayed over night. Friday morn
