CEURD'ALENEMINES
DURING 1905 PRODUCED OVER
$15,000,000 IN MINERALS,
Lead-Silver Mines Contribute Over
$14,000,000—Federal Company Mined
the Most, With Bunker Hill Com
pany Second—Over 3000 Men Em
ployed in District.
From official and semiofficial sources
it is learned that the mines of the
Coeur d'Alene mining district during
(90S produced a total of $15.220,092 in
lead, silver, copper, goid and zinc, an
Increase over that of 1904 of approxi
mately 13,900,000.
Of tins sum the lead-silver mines
contributed $14,196,692, the remaining
11,023,740 standing to the credit of the
copper - gold - silver - zinc producing
mines.
The tons of ore mined during the
year were approximately 1,445,170, the
Federal Mining & Smelting company's
five mines—the Standard. Mammoth.
Empire State. Tiger Poorman and
Morning—loading with 876,000 tons, ns
nearly as ran bo ascertained; the
Hunker Bill ft Sullivan mine ranking
second, with the enormous output of
341,170 tons. The Hecla is third on the
list, with 100,000 tons, then follows tue
Snowstorm, with 65,400 tons; the Her
cules next, with 11.500 tons.
The silver content of all the ores
shipped totals 7,100,000 ounces, having
$4,402,000 commercial value, figured at
<;:.' cents an ounce for the year. The
lead content foots up to 249.nno.iMin
pounds, worth $10,060,000, reckoning
at 4 cents a pound, the price allowed
the producer at the mine. The New
York price of lead for the year aver*
aged G cents a pound. This difference
in price, if allowed 'he mine owners,
would make the total value of the
output of the Coeur d'Alene mines ap
proximate $17,710.f,92.
The mines of the Federal company
yielded 3,200,000 ounces of silver, the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan 2,089,000, the
Hercules 727,651, the Hecla 682,170
and the Snowstorm 382,960 ounces.
These figures are officially confirmed.
The Federal company's mines pro
duced 118,784,300 pounds of lead, the
Hunker Hill & Sullivan 97.251.170
pound--, the Hecla 403.390 pounds and
the Hercules 11,656,948 pounds.
Metallic lead to the total amount of
124,500 tons was produced in this dis
trict during 1905, an increase over last
year's output of 16,600 tons. It Is be
lieved that this remarkable output rep
resents 38 per cent of the total lead
production of the United States for
the year.
Of the eight leading mines in the
district the dividends and net earn
ings total $6,065,000, the Hunker Hill
& Sullivan leading with $3,255,000; the
Federal company's mines ranking sec
ond with $1,750,000, the Hercules next
with $450,000 and the Hecla with $240,
--(>00.
The new mines and prospect proper
ties employ about 1000 men, bringing
the grand total number of the men
employed In the mines of this district
to 8070, These men receive upon an
ige $3.60 a day each, totaling
$11,052 a day. $331,560 a month or
$3,978,720 during the year.
The chief producer of load is the
Snowshoe mine, near Mullan. with an
output last year of 5,108,572 pounds,
this being an Increase of its produc
tion for 1904 of over 3,000,000 pounds.

MARSHALL FIELD
DIEDJUESDAY
Marshall Field, the millionaire
Chicago merchant, died at the Holland
house New York city at 4 o'clock Tues
day afternoon after a nine days' illness
of pneumonia.
Death came peacefully while the mem
bers of the family, who had been in
almost constant attendance for several
days, were gathered around the deatli
bed. They, as well as the dying mer
chant himself, were prepared for the
end. For days they had been swayed
between hope and fear, but when the
alarming turn came today after the
remarkable rally of yesterday, it was
recognized that the end had been only
briefly deferred. Those who were
present when the merchant died were
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr., August N. Eddy, Mrs. Hen
ry Dibblee, John C. Liucon and Mrs.
Preston Gibson.
The ray of hope which flashed to the
watchers yesterday afternoon when the
seemingly dying man suddenly rallied
and for a time appeared to gain
strength rapidly, was first displaced by
an announcement after the morniug
oonsaltation of the doctors today. Mr.
Field's rest hud been disturbed during
the latter part of the night, and when
morning came it wns found that the
improvement had not been maintained.
From that time until the end the ap
proach of death was steady and irresis
tible. By noon the last atom of hope
again had fled. At 2 o'clock word
came from the sick room that Marshall
Field was very low and the end was
expected any moment.

The Men Who Give os Wheat.
After listening to the grain growers,

and iMost Important step in the pro
motion of the industry is in the hands
of the producer himself. If the farmer
will deliver to the warehouse or ele

ENGLAND'S ELECTION
J. ARTHUR BALFOUR, FORMER
PREMIER DEFEATED.
First Day's Contest in Ureat Britain Is
Overwhelmingly in Favor of the
Present Government—More Labor
ites—Balfour Will Find Another
Safe Seat by Some One Retiring.
London, Jan. 14.—The political map
of England Saturday underwent a
striking change as the result of par
liamentary elections, held in 39 constit
uencies in widely scattered but im
portant centers, and in which the lib
erals gained 18 seats. The laborites,
who are counted among all liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
unionist candidates.
In the east division of Manchester,
Arthur J. Ualfour, the former premier,
was defeated by T. G. Horridgo, liberal,
who was conceded even by the liberals
a weak candidate against such a per
son as Mr. Bftlfour. Mr. Horridge se
cured the remarkable majority of 1980.
This- victory, notwithstanding the lib
eral predictions, was a decidedly sen
sational outcome of the day's polling
and will, it is believed, enormously af
fect the elections which will continue
for a fortnight.
Winston Churchill, liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
division of Manchester from W. John
ston Hix, conservative, by a majority
of 1241.
Everywhere the liberal majorities
were increased, and the net result of
the first day's contest between the
greal political parties was overwhelm
ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
Although only 66 seats are now filled
out of the 670 required for the new
parliament, which will meet at West
minster February 15, the composition
of the house as shown by the results
received up to midnight, is as follows:
Liberals, 30: unionists, 14; laborites,
6; nationalists. 7. This includes 24
candidates who were unopposed and
the two candidates elected at Ipswich
Friday.
Of '■curse. Mr. Balfour will find an
other s:\fe seat before the elections
are over, by one of the unionist can
dldatea retiring in his favor. Up to
the present, however, there is no in
dication where the former premier will
find the place where he can secure a
majority which will enable him to take
his seat as a leader on the front op
position bench.
Later Report.
London, Jan. l(i.—The liberal land
slide continues. Out of 7tt congests
today the liberals and laborites to
gether secured 62 seats. The liberal
gains today show the surprising total
of 42, while the unionists gained only
one; seat, that of Hastings. Two former
cabinet officers went down before the
■torn) of liberal sesntiment.
