FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR
From Mining
Zest to Zion
Claries F.Caldwell, pioneer min
i'- i man of the Coeur d'Alene and
Slocan districts, president of Utica
Mines Ltd., has been elected Gener
al Overseer of the Christian Cathol
ic Apostolic Church, Zion City, Ill
inois, and left for that point this
week to assume his duties as suc
cessor of John A. Lewis, who died
July 7 last and who for 13 years
had worn the mantle of John Alex
ander Dowie, "First Apostle of the
Lord Jesus the Christ, and Geneaal
Overseer of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic Church in Zion.” or “Elijah
II,” as he styled himself.
Mr. Caldwell was in Zion City at
the time of the death of tiis prede
cessor and, no successor having been
appointed pFior to his demise, as the
rules of the church provide, the offi
cials met in conclave and finally
settled upon Caldwell by unanimous
vote, says Northwest Mining Truth,
Spokane. The church was founded
by Dowie in 1896, and in 1901 was
established at Zion City, on the
shore of Lake Michigan, 42 mi'- .
north of Chicago and about ih .
distance south of Milwaukee, or, as
said, “Between Beer and Babel.” In
1906 the church revolted against
Dowie's rule and finally suspended
him from the church, charging him
with the misuse of investments,
tyranny, polygamous tendencies and
other offenses. Later his' position
wa3 usurped by Voliva, chief insur
rectionist, and Johii A. Lewis was
selected by the orthodox wing of
the church. Since its establishment
the “church” has grown in finan
cial power and is possessed of much
property of value. Mr. Caldwell’s
duties will inMtide supervision oi
dictatorship over its business, polit
ical and spiritual affairs.
Charles F. Caldwell is one of the
really picturesque figures oi con
temporary mining history ol the
Northwest, having run the gamut
of trials and tribulations to which
the pioneer of this section has al
ways been heir. He was born at
Harrisonville, Missouri, in 1861 and
is therefore in his 59th yeas. After
a few years spent in the raining
districts of Colorado he arrived at
Murray in 1884, soon after the dis
covery of gold by Prichard had
started the Coewr d’Alene stampede
He engaged in some desultory pla
cer mining on Prichard creek, ran a
sawmill and lumber camp and then
built the Palace hotel, which he ran
for about two years. In 1889, at the
time of the great Spokane fire, he
was at Chloride, on Pend Oreille
lake, where another excitement had
followed location of the Weber mine
and in the following year moved to
Spokane, where he opened offices in
the Ziegler building as a broker in
mines and stocks.
In 1*891 he stampeded to Kaslo
whence the first rumors of the dis
covery of the Payne mine by Eli
Carpenter had emanated, but in the
following year followed another
band of rainbow chasers who start
ed a gold excitement on the Lar
deau and Duncan rivers, north of
Kootenay lake. In 1893 and 189i
ho was engaged in contracting ex
traction of ore at the Poorman mine
near Nelson, then under operation
by the late “Uncle John” Daven
port, but returned to the Slocan in
the following year and was engaged
by J. D. Farrel, then superintendent
of this division of the Great North
ern, to make a practical report up
on the operating mines and pros
pects of the district.
Soon afterwards he joined the
rush to Rosslaud and there bonded
and worked the Homestake in the
south belt. He also bonded the Sun
set for $12,000 foF a syndicate rep
resented by D.M.Linnard, the Cali
fornia hotel man, and E.C. Provand,
memcer of the British Parliament,
but the bond was rejected and the
property resold to other parties for
$250,000. Filled with disgust, Cald
well returned to the Slocan in 1896
and began development of the Elk
horn, adjoining the Whitewater
