And sing life's lonesome times away, So --worry and theAreariest day Will find an end together! THAT ALL-NIGHT NUISANCE late there seems to be a great struggle for possession goin on between certain inhabitants of Eidell's and Harmon's add' ions—that fast residence portion of the county seat—where heretofore the cow -belled mule and hobbled cayuse held the band in unmolested bliss, cropping the grass in the silvery moonlight, disturbing nought but the fluttering nightbird, whtch angrily darted from its nest as the crunching, moving quadruped nears its habi- tation. But, alas, with the march of civilization, the tables have been turned and, the cropping band is nightly put to riot by a waiving, grotesque spectre, sometimes in one shape, sometimes in another, which causes the frightened animals to retreat double- quick to the neighboring pines on the bench land above, and the .waking inhabitants, hearing the distant bell, calmly turn over and are lost once more in the arms of Morpheus, only to be rudely awakened by the rocking of the house as the scatterd band, re- turning, take refuge under friendly eves rubbing their sides against ornamental cornices, stamping their hoofs in unalloyed bliss; or, perchance, in the hurried flight an offspring is rudely separated from it - s - mother'g side and the shrill - neigh with Ica answering echo startles the \house dog, and the barking, neigh- ing, braying, 3 -o'clock -in -the -morning community gets out and chases, swears, condemns and condoles a situation outrivaling a Miles City horse sale. There ,are numerous suggestions as to remedy—a high -board corral around the -neighborhood addition might do; but, better still, why/'not incorporate and place the county seat under the pale of rules and regulations? Why pro- crastinate and put off so import nt a step, which means a whole- some growth? It has been s d that to insure the per- manency of the county seat we shou t d hasten the incorporation day. A properly signed petition presented to the county com- missioners woulOtart the proper procedure and give to the \higher animal!! the right-of4ay, for in the language of Mc- Heffey's Garrett, \You can't do nothin' with them horses until you incorporate.!' J. . Kennedy's resignation as commissioner of agriculture and publicity brings into the limelight his deputy, Seth Maxwell, / 6w acting commissioner, well known in these parts as the Helena newspaper man who was almost prevailed upon to cast his lot with the then Mineral county promoters. Mr. Maxwell came to / Superior and looked the newspaper situation over, there being 'none in the county at that time, and the outlook seemed promis- ing. The old Boosters' club was very much impressed with Mr. Maxwell personally and sought to secure his services, but owing to his position in the capitol he turned their proposition down. vto. , NOW OPEN , FOR BUSINESS The Superior State Bank Mineral County's Only bank Capital Paid In $20,000.00 Banking In All Its branches ci The small depositor will be made as welcome as the big fellow.

IRON MOUNTAIN TUNNEL VISITED BY NEW OWNER C H. L. Day, president of the Federal Mining company, the recent purchasers of the Iron Mountain tunnel, motored in from Wallace Friday and went im- mediately to the mine. It is not an- ticipated that any radical changes will take place immediately, but a practical and systematic development of the property with more equipment and the same employes will begin at once. The Wallace Miner gives a bit of the early history of this mining district .copied from the Free Press, the first paper published in Wallace, dated Jan- uary 12, 1889, in which is stated in part that this property was located by one L. T. Jones, a Northern Pacific brakeman who, becoming enamored of the hills, quit his job and became pros- pector. When the stampede for the Spring creek excitement struck the country, Jones and his partners, Frazer and Hall, located the Iron Mountain and the Iron Tower, later bonding the property to J. K. Pardee for $100,000. Production at the Iron Mountain mine began 14 years ago and actual work continued for eight years. Dur- ing that time it yielded more than $500,000 in dividends, beside paying the expenses of mine development, the building of a 250 -ton mill and the con- struction of 16 miles of mountain road. This road, which was used before the Coeur J'Alene branch of the Northern Pacific had been. constructed, crosses the divide nortai arthe mine leading to a point on the Missoula river a few miles from its mouth. From here the oar was floated down on barges to the main line of the Northern Pocific. The closing of the famous old pro- ducer was due largely to the enactment of a state law requiring every mine to have two openings. Later the law was complied with by the construction of a tunnel more than one mile in length on the 1500 -foot level of the property. The old town of Pardee, lying near the property, is a place of considerable historical importance in Montana. The busy scene at the mouth of the tunnel recently built to7tonform to the state law presents a marked contrast with the deserted mining camp, with its tumble-down cabins, caved -in workings and grass -grown streets. The property has a modern 250 -ton mill, a fully equipped power plant and substantial frame buildings to accom- modate the business offices of the cor- poration. The mine was located by two French- men, and was in its early life operated by a man by the name of Pardee, for whom the town was named. Pardee is located at the head of Hall gulch, five miles north of Superior. Bob Angus was also an early operator of the prop- erty. —Wallace Press -Times. SILVER CABLE TO SHIP SOON Shipments are to be inaugurated soon by the Silver Cable Mining com- pany, which owns the Silver Cable mine in the East Coeur d'Alene dis- trict, near Mullan, Idaho, according to information received by Harrington & Eberhardt, Spokane tnining brokers, from officials of the corporation. \The upraise from the lower level to the intermediate tunnel, about 300 feet, is nearly completed, according to the re- port, and when this is finished ship- ments will begin,\ states P. L. Eber- hardt. \The raise has been in a full face of ore all the way that is said to assay 25 per cent zinc. As soon as the upraise is opened several drifts will be started between the - tower and inter- mediate levels, all in high-grade ore.\ The caterpillar is at work on the Packer Creek road. This will int- prove matters in the way of get- ting to the many valuable mines, such as the Hemlock, Brian, Tar- box, Last Chance and others. The first car of ore is being load- ed from the Richmond mine. Ship- ments will continue until snow gets too deep. IMPROVEMENTS AT AMADOR ARE PROGRESSING Oscar Nordquist returned from Spo- kane yesterday and will leave tomor- row morning for the Amador mine, near Iron Mountain, Mont., which is being rapidly restored to a productive condition under his supervision. His visit to Spokane was for the purpose of ordering the machinery for the mill which will soon be under construction, most of the machinery for which will probably be purchased in Spokane. Mr. Nordquist reports the new flume, a mile and a half in length, completed and the water will be running through it by Sunday. This will be followed immediately by starting the pump for the purpose of unwatering the mine. The shaft is over 700 feet in depth and the water up to the 400 level. It will require probably two months to free the mine of water, but as soon as the 400 is clear actual mining opera- tions will begin and a large amount of first class ore on that level will be ex- tracted for shipment. Begin Construction of Mills The detail of plans for the Mill hive sow practically been adopted and the work of construction will begin the coming week. The foundation timbers are already on the ground. The pro- cesses employed will be concentration and flotation and the daily capacity of the mill will be 100 tons. In addition to the large amount of available ore in the mine, it is understood that the dump represents several thousand tons of ore that will pay to mill. Taken altogether the outlook for quAk re- turns from the Amador is high rr avor- able. The restoration of the property to the active list has been accomplished by Mc.- Nordquist and S.dney L Shunts, both of this city, with whom are asso- ciated a large number of local men. — Wallace Miner. Saltese Locals When I arrived home from Superior on the 22nd inst., I noticed quite j a crowd on the corner, gath- ered around a large, dust-covered car. On investigation I found they were listening to the driver's and owner's experiences on the road between Superior and Saltese and this is what I heard - ''`Gentlemen, the road between the Idaho boun- dary and here is the best we have struck sive leaving 'Frisco. It is a boulevard, not a road, and the state of Montana should be proud of it.\ A continuation of such road building would induce peo- ple to travel just for the pleasure of passing through Mineral county. Mr. Charles Heidenreich, man- ager of the Richmond Mining and Milling company, is on a business trip to Spokane. The White Steamer has been converted into an aeroplane and - is employed in carrying supplies to the Richmond mine. Many passengers who have had the pleasure of watching the graceful curve of the White Steamer's sails while traveling from one port to the. other express great pleasure at seeing the home -coming once more of the old friend. _ . - James Hillier, one time jovial captain of the White Steamer, purchased another boat, but has her dry - . docked for repairs on the keel. He claims no barnacles were found, the running gear was out of order and was a little bit waterlogged. Mrs. John Baxter and son have left for the state of Maine to visit rpiRtiv..a Her many friends regret to see her go. Joseph Hould was called on the grand jury. Jim Hillier is assisting Mr. Town- send in the absence, of Frank and Charles Luedke.
