VOLUME X I WISDOM, MONTANA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1922. ftfrMBER 8 Going to Open Oreway Plans oX a most colossal ^oader- taking in mining have been' perfect ed and all the needed capital has been assured for development of the Montana Orpway Mining company's ground by running a tunnel through the mam divide-of the Rocky moun tains from the Idaho side, thus bringing the ores of that property into Idaho and shipping them from the ruHioad station at Baker. This trev . iious constructional scheme has long been considered, but the (omlng of the war and consequent cessation o all great speculative en terprises hung the project in the air up ^IT such time as money matters nUgitHiecmne a little easier. Now. howeVer, the enterprising .managers of the Montana Oreway have revived their plans And expect soon to com mence wort toward completing the remarkable feat of engineering, the like of which has never been known in America When Mohammed had failed to call the mountain to himself he con eluded to go tb the mountain. While the Montana Oreway's rich deposits were discovered in Montana, this company has already spent $150,009 In developing its property on the eastern side of the continental di vide and has proved the values be yond peradventure, but ore taken out on the Montana side at this point point will be remote from fear ible means of transportation How ever, a tunnel started on the head o. 0 Wimpy creek in Lemhi county, Ida ho, will have to proceed no great length until it taps that rich on body, auto the distance to (lie Gil more & Pittsburgh railroad station at Baker is then only 10 miles w t! a downhill pull. Samuel J Scott, formerly u mom her of the Chicago Board of Trade, was In Salmon last week on tJits very business. Ever since 1909 lie has been concerned with the Moil tana Oreway property and through the aid of himself and friends has already driven more than a mile of tunnel into the Montana-ldahe di vide, a distance almost sufficient to make the Big Hole Basin of Mon tana and the Lemhi valley of Idaho kiss each other at u point about 10 miles northeasterly from Baker, Ida ho, and about 20 miles from Salmon Operation of the mine from the Mon tana side lias been accounted im practicable and now Mr. Scott with his associates will send the tunnel through, thus making the Montana Oreway an Idaho mine Commencing at Baker a highway suitable for easy auto travel will be run a distance of seven miles up Wimpey creek. From the terminus of this highway a heavy cable tram way is to be installed to cover the remaining distance to the mine por tal. Tjh^r steel cable, supported upon huge posts set upon concrete bases, is to be equipped with steel ears or buckets for carrying ore down to the highway and for conveying supplies to the mine. One of the Interesting features of this tramway will be the Installation of a comfortable passen ger ear suitable or seating 12 pas sengers at once, and while the cable is to be electrically driven, the plans call for electric lights along the way and also lights in the passen ger car for use at night. Aside from the vast quantities of high grade ore that will find market by means of these imprevenrents, It is also proposed to tap the great supply of forest products, such as railroad ties, building timbers, etc., that have been planted by nature on the Montana side of the mountains only awaiting the enterprise of man to bring them into commercial req uisition. Many millions of railroad ties w ill, find their way through the Mg tunnel to Idaho’s side of the hill, to ha marketed at Baker. GRIIÌ ìf IS GONE “Griefs all gone from thic milk ing job, and I’m off for another bunch of cows,” said George Bar- sons when he breezed into the office, last week with a smile which just about caused the corners of his mouth to hold a sociable at the back of his neck. “Yes,” he continued, \¡she's all gone, this sob stuff at milking time And nary a one of ’em kicked. Talk about kicking. Say! I’ve got one ornery devil in my punch that we always had to tie her legs when we milked her—got to now while strip ping— but she took to the milking macffltte iTlre a d u m o water: never moved a peg. We are milking 23 sows in three-quaUers of an hour. It sure takes the sting off. We used to get up in the middle of the night to start milking and now we pound our ear ’just like folks. We could milk another dozen just about as easy as we are milking what we do and, hear me, son! there'll be an other dozen in that nani pronto. I am told there is a It year-old girl in this state taking care of 36 cows a day with machine and, by gollies, if that little girl'can do it a big husky like me ought to, eh'? Well, I reck on so' “Some folks make a big talk about vhat a job it is to 'keep them there pipes all clean ’ Listen, sister! Do ou thing the milk runs through all them there pipes’ Not on your ife, little one' Not a drop of any ibid of liquid goes through them Air, and air only, is in those over head pipes and unless you run your loulatner over there will never be anything but air in them._ »If you do .et care-less and allow milk to get nto them it isn’t a ten minutes job o clean the whole layout.

Hynes start ed up Williams gulch, a short dis tance from the Walherg house, early one morning and had waiked several hours and was almost to the top o. the range when be jumped it huge buck, said the iuvestigaotrs.
