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contracts pending; have been rescinded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.

ADVANTAGEOUS LOCATION
Our properties are situated 16 miles due north of Wallace, one and a half miles east of Delta, and five miles south of Murray, being 220 acres and comprising the following full
claims: Poticie, Austin, Phillip, Potla'tch, Karl, Florence, Arthur, Guy, Maud, Black Bear No. 1 and Black Bear No. 2.' 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

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.

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

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.
