Wood and Water.
The Clearwater river Is (ho western line of the
jrroup of mines belonging to t his Company, and will
furnish water for any plant which tin; Company will
noon erect on their premises on the hanks of the river.
The lands of the Company are well timbered in
miftlcieiit uantitles for timber, lumberand fuel, which
may be necessary to use at mines, and for building
purposes am fuel.
Location in Creat Cold & Copper Bolt.
The mines of the Alta-Idaho (Sold and Copcr
Mining Company are located on the west side ol the
.Hitter Hoot Mountains, nearly opposite the great cop
per mines of Montana which are on the eastern side of
this mountain and nmong the richest copper mines in
the world, and the best paying mines in the I'nited
States.
The especial field of this Company is Idaho, al
though its operations may not beeontlned to that state.
The vast undeveloped resources of Idaho cannot help
but bring immense wealth to their owners in the fu
ture. They who are fortunate to participate in the ac
quirement of a part of this enormous natural wealth
will have no reason to regret tlieirclioice of investment. '
The Alta-ldaho (Sold ami Copper Mining Com
pany's mines are now in operation and are being
pushed to the fullest development possible.
The company fillers a limited amount of stock for
sale. Keeent developments show that the ore is in
large quantities and of a rich quality which will war
rant the value of the stock to increase as the opera
tions continue. The present price of the stock will be
increased in a very short time. Willi an abundance
of rich ore and advantages which few mines have,thero
is no doubt of tUesuccess of this Company.
The otllcers of the Company will be pleased to
have you write or call upon them, as they are glad to
answer all inquiries and furnish the fullest informa
tion concerning the mines and the manner of working
thorn, and any other information desired concerning
them.

I, i:viston, Idaho, Jan. IS, 190.5.
To whom it may concern .
1 have recently examined (ho Empire O roup of
mines situated In tiie Idaho Mining District, Idaho
County, State of Idaho. This group consists of nine
mines, formerly owned by A. 1). l'ardep and (SeoM.
Snyder, and now owned by the Alta-ldaho (Sold and
Copper Mining Company.
I'll esc mines are essentially (Sold, Silver and Cop
lMr propositions, the ores consisting of the whole range
of sulphides including copper glance ; also carbonates.
The gossan showing more or less oxydi.ed iron carry
ing gold values. The geology of the 'mountain is some
what complex, but aside from porphyritie iutriisives
the general character of country rock is diorite,alteiod
limestones, etc.
The veins parallel each other to summit of moun
tain and range from " to 40 feet in width, showing line
service mineralization at .intervals along their entire
course. The strike is N. W. and S. K. and walls are
nearly, if not quite vertical. I regard them as true
fissures. They are easily traceable on surface by f re
silient outcrops, some of a bold type and in the case of
the Idaho Ituby vein, a series of open cuts and shafts
show it to be continuous for over 2000 feet and varying
a surface from 10 to 14 feet in width with exception
ally good ores in sight.
With a surface slope angle of approximately .TO de
grees the entire hill is workable by cross-cut tunnels,
the portals of which in each instance would be adja
cent to river and railway line, thus insuring u cheap
ness in mining costs not usually obtainable.
The present main opening) liy tunnel projected
so as to cut through the middle of the property and
thus encounter all of the veins at right angles. 'This
tunnel is now driven for a distance of about 1H0 feet,
gaining about It 15 feet in depth and while I did not
make measurements, would judge that a distance of
"Itf feet intervenes between the face of Ihe tunnel and
the Jda-Kuby vein aforementioned, which would bo
encountered at about L'ilO feet below surface.
On the several lenses of ore already encountered
I would suggest that drifting be continued as their
lenticular character show possibility ot chambers or
deposits of rich ore, and that work in face of main
tunnel be carried on as at present, although a double
shaft would be more desirable.
The persistent presence of mineral in the country
rock as tunnel progresses is very encouraging and the
chances for encountering leads which do not show on
the surface are very good.
I have before me a certificate of assay signed by
J. V, Killinger, ussayer, Lewiston, Iduho, which

I n addition to tin; foregoing, we would call your
attention to the following extract found on pages VZ"
and ll'H IT. S. Geological Survey, Part 1', Water Sup
ply iiml Irrigation, papers No. 54, by l'rof. Israel Cook
Kiissell of Michigan University :
"To the reader who is not familiar with the min
eral resources of the Nez Perce region, it may be of in
terest to learn that the crystalline rocks of older data
than the Columbia Kiver lava are quite generally ore
bearing. These rocks, in many instances, are nieta
phoric in character ; that Is, they consist of either sed
imentary or igneous material that has been greatly al
tered by heat and pressure and by movements which
have caused it to become slieared'and assume a schis
tose structure. Uesides these changes there have been
great intrusions of molten magmas, cither into lls
sures. as in the formation of the numerous dikes, or of
a regional character, as the intrusions of granite, dio
rite, etc., Into the earth's crust from great depths be
low the surface. Where cither the metamorphic or
plulonlc rocks are exposed at the surface, it is mani
fest there has been deep erosion. 'Ihe thickness of
rock removed has not been measured, but may be
safely estimated at several thousand feet. The rocks
which once were deeply buried are frequently trav
ersed by veins in which more or less metallic material
in the form office gold, silver, copper, etc., has been
deposited from the heated waters which percolated
through them.
lu vcucral the rocks exposed beneath the Colum
bia river, lava in the canyons of Snake, Salmon ami
Clearwater rivers are such as are looked to for depos
its of gold, silver, copper and many other ores and
minerals. The prediction which a geologist would be
led to make from the general character of these rocks
is that they will be found to contain the precious me
tals, which is verified by the discovery of gold and
ores of silver and copper' in what are reported to be
rich deposits."
In conclusion, the Empire Mines are surrounded
by the greatest mineral producing sections of the
The AltaIdaho Gold & Copper flining Co.,
or to W. B. Allen, Bloomsburg, Pa.; Charles Harder, Catawissa,
Northwest and will In turn lake part in producing
their quox of wealth for the benefit of the Company's
stockholders.
Kxlcnsivo mineral bells are as yet barely prospect
ed if at all. The company will keep a corps of cxcrt.
prospectors In the field during the coining season and
continue to add to its holdings at a minimum cost.
Intimately acquainted with this reirion, we have
the utmost faith in it. (SKO. M. SXVDKII,

brought out with him perhaps the finest collection of
copper, gold and silver ores ever seen In this city. The
ore is from the well known Kmnire group of mines at
Pardee, which were recently sold to the Alta-Idaho

have been steadily prosecuting development work for
the past four years. The properties embrace seven
full claims and' two parts of claims, and are located on
the north side of the Clearwater river one mile from

Mr. I Merman Fritz, Secretary.
Dear sir : During the past few years I have seen
many dill'ercnt kinds of ores, especially gold, copper,
lead, silver, zinc and iron, hut I never before saw so
line a lot of ores containing compounds of gold, silver
and copper with so large a per eentage of these valua
ble metals as was shown nu to-day from the mines of
the Alta-ldaho Mining Company. Anyone of these
minerals is there in Milliciciit' quantities to pay well
for the mining. The other two, therefore, simply go
to double and treble l ho profits, 1 1 seems to me in
vestors have, an unusually fine opportunity for highly
profitable investment in the slocks oH'crcd by this
company. Very resiHctfully, .1). S. 1IAKTLINE.

Economy iu a Newspaper.
An exchange says: "A working
man who was complaining of hard
times recently was asked how he could
afford to take a newspaper. 'Well,'
he said, 'I shall never be too poor to
take a paper. , I thought I was too
poor for ten years after I was married.
My wife suggested that I take a paper
regularly, and I did so, and it was the
most economical stroke of my life.
It kept me home, afforded me pleas
ure and instruction and a comfort to
the whole family. I had to stop the
use of tobacco for a year once m
order to pay for the paper, and the
result was that I have not cared for
tobacco since, and in that one item I
have saved enough to pay for several
papers. So leng as I have money
enough to buy bread with I will have
money enough to pay for a newspaper.
It is the cheapest investment a man
can make, both for himself and family;
it is the last expense I will lop oft. I
will drink my tea and coffee without
sugar before I will do without my
paper; I can better afford to do so.' "

Since the great business boom
which struck the town about a year

in its population, the house has
been entirely too small. Many

Rural Free Delivery Spreading.
The rural free delivery system is
spreading rapidly. Something like
ten thousand new routes are being es
tablished each year, and the postoflice
department figures that by July, 1905
all available territory will -be covered.
The records show that the increase in
the amount of mail matter handled
for the people served has amounted
to from forty to seventy-five per cent.
Most of the old fourth-class postoflices
will soon be wiped out, in fact, about
twenty thousand have already been
discontinued. The rural free mail
delivery idea is spreading like an epi
demic. The people are clamoring for
it and all are p'eased when they get
it.

Wild ducks are beginning to fly
northward, tempted by the mild
weather which has beeu prevailing
for some time. Dr. Jacob Kalbfus,
secretary of the Pennsylvania Game
Commission, says: "A strong effort
is being made in a number of states
to have the shooting of ducks con
fined to the fall and several states
have made laws to that effect,
There is no question among sports
men that such a law would be high
ly beneficial in increasing the fly of
ducks m the fall and gunners would
really get more birds in the end.
