WILL BE CONVENTION OF
PROSPECTORS AND MINERS

SPOKANE.-The romance of placer
mining reenacted in many dramatic
instances again in 1882 as it was in
the days of the pioneer, will be told
at the Northwest Mining convention in
Spokane, December Is, Is and II.
Hundreds of men went out from
Spokane and other cities of the In
land Empire, where schools Of instruc-
ton for placer miners were held, to
stake their all on adventure in the
hills. 1t is the aim Of the convention
to hear the stories of the success or
difficulties.
This will be convention of pros
pectors and miners more than any of
the other mining conventions in the
past" said Robert T. Banks, president
Of the Northwest Mining Association
The men who were out will have ar
opportunity TO show their samples OF
to tell what they have discovered
I'VE expect to have experienced
miners, mining engineers and college
men at the convention who will glad
ly consult with the miners concerning
any difficult problems they encoun-
tered
I'VE also would like to have ex-
shibited any Of the new devices or in
ventions which mining men have for
saving the fine gold in western rivers
I'VE will gladly receive mineral ex-
hibits this year as in the past, al
though this year those who have ex-
hibits will have to pay the expense OF
getting the samples here and taking
care of them"

Gold Orc Shipped
From Libby Brings
Satisfying Returns
Midas Ships Three Carloads to SmcIter
and Plans on Further
Consignments.

News items in this paper few weeks
ago told of shipments of ore being made
by the Midas mine, south of Libby.
A recent article in the Spokane papers
quotes the president Of the company,
]. P. Graves, as reporting on the re-
suits of these shipments The article
says that on Al tons of ore shipped the
company has received 1888 after the
deduction Of freight and smelter
charges. The gross value Of the lot was
$9l7, the gold content 1882 and the
silver content SIS. according to q set
Element sheet of the Trail snelter.
In addition to the shipments pre-
viously made to the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan company we recently shipped
three cars of crude ore to the CONSOLE
dated Mining and Smelling company
at Trail, B. c." said Mr. Graves, land
have returns from two of these cars.
"One of them netted U.s. exclusive OF
mining, about SIT ton, and the sec
ond about S. ton. The car netting
about SIT was partly hand-sorted be-
fore shipping. The ore Of S. net value
was not sorted The returns on these
two cars are very satisfactory to the
company.
These shipments again confirm our
estimates previously made to our
stockholders, that this gold property
can, with its mill in operation, earn
about S. a ton net. As soon as it is
possible, our mill will be started, SO
as to place us in position to earn some
thing for our shareholders.
The high silica content and the abb
sence of detrimental impurities of any
kind in the ore makes it possible to

Doing Commendable Work.

While the annual Christmas Seal
Sale is now in progress, 1t is not amiss
to recall to Libby people that very
commendable work is being done To-
cally by some of the proceeds from
former seal sales. A certain percent
age of the sale receipts are retained
by the local organization and this Is
later expended in some worthy work
This past year the funds have been
used to defray part Of the expense of
examining the eyes Of school children
and fitting with glasses some who could
not afford to purchase them. Eight
pairs Of glasses have thus been pro-
vided, through the cooperation OF Dr.
A. E. Ostroot and the Woman's club,
DR.. Ostroot furnishing the glasses at
reduced rates.

Two Visitors
Here Believed
TOBeCOnviCtS
Abandon Car on Callahan
Creek After Being
Chased by Sheriff.
TRIED TO BREAK
INTO TOOL SHED


Sheriff F. r. Baney now has in his
possession another automobile as the
result of hurried chase through the
kootenai canyon and up Callahan
creek, after what was supposed to ba
two criminals. The chase took place
last Saturday afternoon while the foot
ball game was in progress. And this
is how it happened
Ira Tester and Sandy Fraser hap
pened to be passing the county tool
shed at the rear of the court house,
in Fraser's car, when they noticed that
two men had driven a car right up to
the door of the shed and were work
ing there. Being somewhat suspicious,
Tester stepped over to the men and
asked what they were doing, when
they replied that they had had a flat
tire and had stopped to fix it. Still
being suspicious, Tester carelessIy
stepped closer to the door and could
plainly see that someone had been
prying at the lock- Remarking to the
men to take their time, he stepped
back to Fraser and In a low voice
asked Fraser to drive at once to the
sheriffs office as he was confident
the two strangers were yeggmen and
had been attempting to break into the
shed.
When informed of what was in prog
ress, Sheriff Baney jumped into the
Fraser car and started to pick up the
men. It was found that they had headed
for the highway west Of town. Baney
took after them and followed them
somewhat beyond the outskirts Of the
town when Fraser said he couldn't -
any farther. Whereupon Fraser and the
sheriff hurried back 70 the jan md
phoned Marshal Gibbs at Troy to drive
out to where the Bull Lake road
branches from the highway and head
off the culprits The sheriff then took
up the pursuit in Taller Upham's car,
accompanied by Upham-
In spite Of the time lost in return
ing to the office, the officers nearly
overlook the fleeing men although they
were driving at a fast rate. Coming
onto Officer Gibbs a short distance this
side of the Bull Lake road, he reported
that he had attempted to stop the car
but that the fleeing men had driven
past him at fast speed, needless of his
commands. Taking up the chase, they
followed the tracks of the car up CAL
lahan creek few miles where the car
was found in an old shed. the men
having abandoned it and taken to the
timber.
The car was a Marmon sedan, with
British Columbia license plates. In
the car, however, Sheriff Baney found
a set of 1882 Montana plates. Investi-
CATION showed that these plates belong
to a Pontiac car owned in Great Falls
This leads the officers to believe the
men are involved in some car theft,
hence their attempt to escape as soon
as they thought officers were on their
trail Within the car there were two
empty tanks, 5-gallon one and 10
gallon one 1t is believed the men were
attempting to break into the tool house
probably in search of gasoline.
Since the above was written Sheriff
Baney has learned that the Marmon
car was stolen at Missoula, and let
ter received here states it is believed
the two men at Libby were convicts
escaped from the Montana peniten-

The Truth Win Out

The Producers News In referring to
the work of Carl B. Peterson as a member
of the Sheridan county relief committee
calls attentions to Mr. Peterson campaign
pledges. making the inference that Mrs.
Peterson is again ON the payroll of the
county.
Mr.. Rasmussen evidently did not care
to take the trouble to inform himself as to
the reason for Mrs Petersons presence in
the clerk of court office or whether or not
she was receiving any compensation from
the county. Had he done this. he would
have found that Mrs. Peterson has come to
the office on several occasions during the
past mont 70 permit her husband to attend
meetings of the relief committee to which
he has 50 generously given of his time and
effort during the past year The Producers
News writer would also have found that
the services given by Mrs. Peterson on these
occasions have not cost the taxpayers of
Sheridan county one penny
Such gross misrepresentation of facts
are only typical of the style of journalism
that has always been employed by the
Communist organ. and is perhaps the best
answer to the waning cause of Radicalism
In Sheridan county. You can saw wood
with a hammer.

Thus wrote Lord Byron about the

Taylor has one day been one thing,

held their breaths. wait ne to see him
take the plunge, but he got no far
ther than Il few weeks unctuous
flattery of Senator John w. Schnitz-
Ter before he turned a moral somer-
sault and became an ardent Red
again. His radicalism since then has
been chiefly an o%pportunist reaction
TO the depression. He had been many
things before 1923, and has been
several things since. and will be
something else again directly. Just
ut present he is engaged in preach
