It Is a time-honored fact that the
workers In any organization are in the
very Bniall minority; the hurden always
falls on the shoulders of the vei) few.
while the many shirk the work is w.Hl
hb the rt spionsllilllty ; but nex.r the
credit or the honor. Merely shirking is
nothing worse than selfishness, lrre-
sponslbility. whtrh In the end only
counts against one self, but the ",b-rk-er"
are a nuisance to themselves and
to everybody els.
A "jerker, " according to club vfi
Tificular. 1 the meniber who does not
work herself and won't ullnw any one
else to work In peace and harmony: the
rhronic fault-finder: the disturber of the
pence, and the impediment In the way
of the workers accomplishing anything
She I not the earnest critic whose criti
cism Is for the best Interest of the club,
but she Is Invariably the woman with a
little wisdom whose learning has made
her mad. Then she has other (pialUl
cat ions jealousy predominating This
makes her see motives never dreamed
of by the doer of deeds, and sh Is al
ways ready to put the worst construc
tion upon the work of others, l'sually
she Is not truthful unintentionally,
perhaps: but her imagination creates
facts. She' is a fault-flnder, never satis
fied and always with her eye set upon
the weak spot In the club's armor. She
Is wholly without charity, and whose
tongue cuttcth like a two-edg-ed sword
In short, she does none of the work and
is the self-appointed monitor over those
that do.
A the club year Is about to open, it
would be well for every club member to
taJte herself to task and find out into
which class she belongs. This will be
short work If you belong to either of
the first two. If you are one of the

The following is a report made to The Poticie Mining- Company, by Captain II. D. Williams. M. E., July 10, 1908, and its reading with a full understanding, will afford many the oppor

a successful promotion, and the profits that are usually gobbled up by the promoters. TJie stockholders, and not the promoters, are going to ge(t the "lion's" share of the profits. We are free from

aided materially in determining the strike of the leads, from
the flow of same. A number of rtunnels have been driven into
the south side of the hill, the longest of which is on the
"Maud" claim and is in some 350 feet: another tunnel almost
on the line between the "Guy" and "Arthur-' Is in 150 feet; on
the line between the "Karl" and "Florence" there is another
tunnel of about 100 feei, and several more from 20 to 40 feet
on various claims down to the present workings, which is on
1 he "Poticie" claim; this is in 100 feet, is well timbered and in
good shape, being equipped with new car and 8-pound rails,
blacksmith shop and powder house. The breast of this tunnel
at the present time, is in a porph yr tic-quartzite and will cut
the quartz lead in about 250 feet farther at a depth of 300 feet
from the surface.
GF.OI.OGY A most interesting geological condition exists
on these properties. Apparently the quartzite is the typical
country rock in this district. It is broken in two zones by par
allel dvkes of intrusive porphyry, traversing the country" from
the northeast to the southwest. Volcanic eruptions have left the
formation on the north side of the dyke at a pitch of about
75 degrees, and seems to be charat I erist ic of the gold belt.
)n the south side of the dyke the formation seems to be nearly
flat 'in places and broken by a series of faults. These faults
have a slate filling, with contact matter of hull quartz. It is
in this , section (hat bodies of silver ore may be looked for:
however, my time being limited. I did not make a thorough
investigation of these features, as the gold side offered more
than sufficient inducement to confine the efforts of the company
to that section of the properties for a long time to come.
SUMMARY- While in most countries it is the usual pro
cedure, when possible, to follow the ore, and from the vast
outcrop of apparently high-grade ore on the norih s,de it would
seem the logical way to do would be to work on this outcrop;
but. owing to tiie fact that there is yet to be recorded in the
Coeur d'Alenes an instance of the vein not growing wider and
richer with depth, also as there is n. t s..in'Uient water in the
north gulch to run a mill mors than a short time in the spring,
and the principal timber on the piopertv being located on the
south slope, and that a good road has been built from the
country road to the mouth of the present workings (which
would entail a great rxpen-c to bring about the same results
in the other gulch. a there is only an 'different bridle trail
leading in and out among l he placer workings, making it a
hard place to build a wagon rondl. and also for the reason that
the pitch of the vein is toward the present workings, making
the vein practically coining to meet the tunnel rather than
pitching away from it. as would have been the case bad ihc
tunnel been driven on the other side, and the present workings
will enable them to cut the formation 150 feet deeper than
would an opening on the croppings on the other side of the.
gulch.
TRANSPORTATION -The mine is situated about 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 & Northern railroad, at Murray, and
to the west there is a good, even grade to the Idaho & Northern
railroad, at the junction of Beaver and Pritchard creeks. The
Northern Pacific railroad extends to the Treasury Vault tip
Nine-Mile creek, about seven miles from this property. This
road is in excellent condition, over which a stage runs daily.
TIMBER There is sufficient timber on the claims for all
ordinary mining purposes for some time to come,
In closing, I wo lild say that from all indications you will
have one of the largest producing mines fft this already famous
district of bonanza properties. The reputation of the Coeur
d'Alenes is world-wide and the fact that there has been no
record of failures, from lack lof ore wherever the mines have
been developed, where the mines have been conservatively and
intelligently prospected and the veins show increased width
and value of ore as depth is obtained. The remarkable increase
in values since 1&S4, starting with the production of $258,375 in
gold, silver and lead until 1H87, where it. hit the million-dollar
point, and from then gradually increasing until 1903. where it
reached a production of over $11,000,000, and from then on to
the present time, when the official figures of the state of idaho
show the enormous production of $1 9.5(30,329, giving a grand
total up to that time of $146,283,361. The big mvnes of this dis
trict seem lo be growing.larger, and it seems to be only a ques
tion of the number of men available in mining and milling
facilities to make the production of these mines reach any
amount desired This country is certainly the miners' paraiise.
I have visited nearly all the large mining centers ei the world,
and in no other place have I seen the certainty of success so
clearly outlined in legitimate mining enterprises.
