HEAT SHORTAGE 41 1 ?! n i I1U6 ALARtVIING Rir Eastern Houses Obliged to Order Return of Their European Shipments. London, Aug. 1. The prolonged scarc ity of meat In the United States con tinues to claim attention and Is be ginning to create alarm. The demands of American houses for the return of canned meats sent here, already re peated twice In orders that agree to pay the rrelghl Dotn ways, are so ex tended and nerslstent It la Impossi ble to understand how such operations can be effected. In 2b years the stocks of preserved meats have not been so reduced in Ku- rope as at the present time. Through English ports alone. 6,430 000 pounds of canned meats have been returnod to the united mates. aii in dleatlon of the necessity for meat In tho exporting country la found in the fact that the Important house of I.lbby, which has Immense siocks in Antwerp, has given orders to return It to the country of its origin. Almost all the contracts pending; have been rescinded or failed of execution. The shipments of meat for South Africa as well as those for Sweden have been suspended for the time. Australia, meantime, la availing It self of the condition to push the In dustry of canned meats to the limit and In all Its packing establishments Is working with extra forces on run time to secure position and satisfy the mar ket. But It Is calculated that do what they will. It is Impossible to reestablish tha eoullibrium of the market, since all estimates seem to show that the world's demand Is superior to the actual Droductlon. In view of the situation, which If pro longed must produce an Insupportable rise In the prlc? or meats, there is a return to the idea of reopening English ports to tha admission of Argentine cattle. srzaec fanS eason is ilere Keep Cool F.lihu Root lT.

Part of this property lies in the Murray Gold Belt, and the east portion of the Hercules Silver Belt. . . . To the northwest of these properties arc the famous Pritchard Creek Placers, from which millions of dollars have been taken out within the last 25 years, this being the locality in which the first gulch mining (to any great extent), was carried on in Idaho. On either side, and extending along the base line of our claims, are a number of Placers which have been heavy producers of coarse gold and are still being successfully and profitably worked. To the north of these properties are the Kimball Placers, which arc being worked with good results and at enormous profits. BIG GOLD VALUES A practical mining man would naturally conclude that wherever such a large amount of coarse gold was f"imd in gulcl.es, it showing evidence of little wear and of not having traveled any great distance, and the quartz show ing little effect of the trituration, the proximity of a heavy decomposed quartz ledge of considerable richness is evident. A large porphyry dyke, with a strike northeast to so-.ithwest, crosses the northeast corner of the "Arthur" claim and comes out on the south end lir.e of the "Poti c:e " On the north side of this dyke and in contact trtween tie rjua'tz:-e and porphyry, crops a heavv lead f oxidized in n quartz, which is the source of placer '.' :n the ad.-m ert pr rerties J.el-uv. ( )n the norihe.i't nd a wn-h in the :dc f the mount v.n '!:cloe the o-it-c rr ppi:igs of this ledge for ahout H'O feet, and has de poMtcd thousands ar.d thousands of high grade ore in the gulih below. Fr. m the outcrop of this ledge, which :s I? to 20 fee? w.de, samples show free gold in piece as large as kernels of wheat, down to fine specki. ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY These mines are situated alvut half mile from the county road. A good wagon road has been built from the county road to the present tunnel workings. Five miles to the north is the Idaho and Northern Railroad at Murray and to the west there is a good even grade to the Idaho and Northern Railroad at the junction of Heaver and Pritchard Creeks. The Northern Pacific Kaiiroad extends to the Treasurer Vault up the Nine mile Creek, about seven miles from this property. This road is in excellent condition, over which a stage runs daily. There is sufficient timber on the claims for all raining purposes, and with such conditions, the development of o'?r properties and the-installation oi our mill and other e.;';i;merit for the treatment of our FREE MILLING COLD ORE, the shipment of our GOLD BULLION' without danger of loss, and the transportation of our HIGH GRADE SILVER LEAD ORE to smelter, makes o:r operations economjeal and insures large dividends End profits to our stockholders. IN the CIRCLE Of MYSTERIOUS RICHES A MIILI0NAIRE MAKER From all indications we will hive one of the largest f OTICIE n rr tt n mm t rr producing mines in this already famous district of bonanza properties. The reputation of the Cneur d'Alene is world wide, and there has 'been no record of failures, wherever the mines have been conservatively and intelligently pros pected and developed. The veins show increase width and value of ore as depth is obtained; and our properties are now developing into this condition. MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS A WONDERFUL PRODUCTION The remarkable increase in values in the Coeur d'Alenes since 1884, starting with the production of $258, 35 00 in gold, silver and lead, until 1887 where it hit the million dollar point, and frorn then gradually increasing until 1903, when it reached a production of over $11,000, 000 00, and from then on to the present time, when the official figures of the state of Idaho show the enormous production of $19,560,329.00, giving a gTand total up to that time of $146,283,361.00. The big mines of this district seem to be growing larger, and it seems to be only a question of the number of men available in mining and milling facilities to make the production of these mines CdDIPMY This country is certainly the reach any amount desired. miners' paradise. OFFICERS SERVE FREE No officer of this Company receives a cent for salary their services are given free and will so continue until this Company is paying dividends to its stockholders. This is done so that every cent may be used for develop ment and equipment and to the best interest of our stockholders. FIRST ALLOTMENT This is the first allotment of stock ever offered to the ptihlic. and after this allotment is sold there will be no more stock for sale except at a very much increased price. So those who can, had better buy from this fir't allotment and get the benefit of the early advancement in prices. There is not much more stock at Ten Cents per shire, and those buying now are getting a snap. ENGINEER'S REPORT EREE We will send Engineer's report fret to al! who will write for it.
