George I'ail aud J. E. Flemming
of the Flemming-Dail .Mining com
pany, operating a quartz mine on
Windy Arm, came up from a visit
to the Sound and left toMay for
their camp.
Their property is a silver-lead ore
body and is very high grade. An
average of $10,000 net has been
realized above all expenses after
leaving the mine, including freight
rates over the railroad and steam
ship lines, and smelting charges, on
each 100-ton shipment.
It is designed to drive a cross-cut
tunnel approximately 1,000 feet in
length which will reduce the cost of
mining very materially. A steaia
plant has been installed to furnish
power for compressors.
This mine has been operating un
der "lie same owner*. J. K. Fleni
ming and George Oail, since 1905,
?and has always taken care of itself
and returned a substantial profit
Respite the fftct that they have been
working at a disadvantage which it
is expected the new development
v ill obviate. ^
Mr. Flemming says that the rates
over the railroad on ore are very
reasonable, but, that the rates on
materials and supplies going in are1
too high.
The city of Rupert. Idaho, has
more buildings, homes and offices
heated by electricity than any other

An Indiana city has recently util
ized a special street lighting system
that has been installed for orna

Mexico Cit March 7 ? Ten thou
sand seasone* .soldiers have been or
ganized into a a army that is to pro
ceed at once to suppress rebellion in
tne north of Mexico. President Hu
erta has authorized the mobilizing
of the troops as rapidly as possible
and to begin at once an active cam
paign The trained soldiers who
have been !:i many battles will be
given the places of honor. The
new government hopes by a vigor
ous policy to wipe out all the rebel
lious uprisings that have been mani
fested since the change in the gov
ernment heads. It is the Intention
to spuelch the incipient rebellions
before they have a chance to grow
'nto anything formidable.
Douglas News man philosophises
Ilka this:
A fitting sequel to the chapter
o' happenings in Douglas last week
was the attempted murder and the
accomplished nuicide of Friday. It
may be that as Westerners we shall
allow ft to pass in the Western
way, with but scant notice. The
hurry and bustle of life precludes
the attention to small matters that
might sometimes prove beneficial.
And In the great, howling, busy
West the violent ending of human
life '<> often considered but a small
matter. But at least one lesson
should be learned, and if it is learn
ed all is well. Dougjas cannot
thrive and grow great as a home
city in the midst of sin and filth
and rottenness. And, if Douglas is
not to be a home city it will be
nothing. Justice will have its
sway, and if man is weak there is
a higher force that will, have its
away and correct the- evils which
have been overlooked. Isn't it about
timo for the wave? .
