BIG INCREASE IN
PRODUCTION OF
IDAHO MINERALS
Geological Survey Estimates
the Metal Output of the
State for the Year 1912 at
$ 21 , 000 , 000 .
Washington, Jan. 8.—In 3912 the
metal output of Idaho, according to
preliminary estimates by C. N. Gerry,
of the United States geological survey, j
was valued at nearly $21,000,000, an in- ;
crease of about 10 per cent over the
value for 1911. Increases were made j
in the production of copper, lead and
sine, while the output of gold and sil
ver slightly decreased. The added
value was due partly to the better
prices of silver, copper and zinc pre
vailing in 1912. There was a slight
decrease of about 4 per cent in gold
production, lowering the output for
1912 to about $ I,.'100,000. This decrease
is traceable to lessened production from
siliceous ore and partly from copper
ore, as gold from placers and lead ore |
Increased. The Lost Packer copper j
mine, the ore of which contains con-1
siderable gold, was unproductive, and j
less gold came from the siliceous ores:
of Owyhee and Klmore counties. I
Placers, particularly those worked by
dredges, bad a greatly increased gold
output. Two boats in Poise county,I
two in l.emlii and two In Clearwater
were active.
The Silver Output.
The silver output was nearly the
same as that of 1911, or approximately
8.196.000 ounces. Silver production is
principally from lead ore, but the
amount of silver per ton Is gradually
decreasing in the older mines. Al
though shipments of lead ore increased,
the total silver output slightly do
creased. Many of the Coeur d'Alene
mines marketed more than the usual
amount of silver, but others decreased
their output.
An increase of over 46 per cent was
noted in the copper production, In spite
of the fact that the Lost Packer
smelter, at Ivers, was idle in 1912.
The estimated production of about
7.500.000 pounds came principally from
the Umpire Copper company, in Crater
county, and the Snowstorm mine, in
Shoshone county, each property shar
ing the increase. The 100-ton mill at
the Snowstorm concentrated part of
the ore the last half of the year.
Lead Production.
Lead production increased about 2
per cent, the total for 1912 being about.
279,000,000 pounds. Prom the activity
toward the end of the year, the price
of the metal and the improved pro
duction of some of the large Coeur
d'Alene mines, a greater Increase was
expected, but shipments from several
mines at Mace and Wardner were
much less than in former years. The
Hercules, Heela, Morning, Stewart,
and Ontario mines had better results,
ami the Bunker Hill upheld its great
record. Lemhi county was the source
of about 18,000,000 pounds .of lead,
largely from the Latest Out and Pitts
burg Idaho mines at Gilmore The
Blaine county production was small
near Halley, but at Arco the 'Wilbert
Mining company operated a new con
centration plant and produced nearly
1 . 500.000 pounds. The lead smelter at
Hahn was burned In September and a
lead furnace at Clayton, in Custer
county, was the only smelter operated
in the state. The lead production of
Idaho represented 65 per cent of the
value of the total metal output in 1912,
or about $12,500,000
Figures in Zinc.
There was an increase of 62 per cent
In the shipment of zinc concentrates in
1912, the total spelter output being
about 13,500,000 pounds. The Success
mine had a most productive year, hav
ing shipped over 1,000 tons of concen
trates a month. A second set of Muc
quisten tubes were in operation at the
Morning mine, thus doubling the zinc
output. The Surprise, at Pine creek,
the Black Horse. r>ar Murray, and
mines near Ketchum contributed, and
the Amazon Manhattan made ship
ments of zinc ore for the first time.
L
Amusements
"Pal«" Witnessed at Turner Theater.
"Pals," the beautiful three act com
edy drama, was witnessed by a large
and very appreciative audience at the
Turner theater last night. Never has
Boise had a stock company that psu
duced such a thoroughly complete
evening's entertainment as does the
New LcMoyn ï Stock company. "Pals"
is full of college atmosphere, bright
comedy and pretty little touches of
pathos, each and every one of the
cast filling their role to perfection.
Mr. Condit as Cairo Higgins, the
chore boy, was Immense, and Mr. Gur
vey certainly uid Justice to his comedy
scene in the first act and shows his
finished work when he appears in the
last act when he declares his love for
Kate. Mr. Erickson is seen in an en
tirely different role than heretofore, in
that of Martin Underwood, tlie crip
pled chemist, and does well. Mr.
Jonnason as Ned, one of the pals, does
not only look the part but plays it. !
This is one of the best things we have
seen him do. Mr. LeMoyne as Jim

Graham. Ned's pal, certainly gets his
share of the honors. The part affords
him great comedy opportunities and
situation and he does not let them pass,
each one is a laugh. Miss Delle as
Mlggles was perfectly at home in, the
second act scene and received a round
of applause in her specialty between
acts. Miss Peabody surprised her
many friends in handling the sympa
thetic role of Kate Blaketpore, the girl
who loved not wisely. This character
In contrast with the other woman
parts in the bill has much to do to
wards making the bill a winner. Mrs.
Si Condit as Dora's old maid aunt was
very pleasing, and Miss Charlotte
Mundorf as Dora was as charming and
winsome as ever, always pleasing her
audience. "Pals" will be seen u 11 this
week at the Turner and it Is indeed
well worth the while.
When the Turner theater ad was no
ticed at the Progressive banquet Mon
day night, when each guest was pre
sented with a paper, someone shouted,
"Hurrah for the Turner theater." All
then noticed the ad and arose with
one accord and cheered the theater
manager for offering 30 per cent of the
gross receipts to the fund for the pay
ment of the fines in the contempt case.
At the New Boz.
The feature of the bill at tlie New
Boz for the first part of this week is
another of those excellent two-reel
subjects which are being shown at this
popular show house. It Is "The Power
of Silence," by the Lubln company, and
Is a western of strong merits. The
acting is good and many scenes are
shown of large bands of sheep feeding
upon the hillsides. An awesome, tragic
climax ends the picture, which leaves
an indelible impression on one's mind.
Miss Leah Baird takes' the title role
In "A Woman," a Vitagraph, and her
acting is capably supported by Harry

Experts declare that the reason

The Isis.
One of the strongest Biblical pictures
and one which pleases all is "The Star
of Bethlehem," by the Thanhauser
company, being shown at the Isis this
week. The picture Is well acted by
some of the best motion picture play

Which are of the best licensed kind.
At the Empress.
Three strong feature acts opened this

There Is such a variety of amusement

SENATOR DEFENBACH
To occupy a seat in the Idaho senate,
take part tn the caucuses of the mem
bers, be a senator, and yet not a sena
tor, and at the same time hold down
the lucrative position of assessor of a
county of the state, is the peculiar po
sition In which Byron Defenhuch, .it
present assessor of Bonner county, and
senator-elect from the county finds
himself.
It was noticed that, at the opening
of the legislative session on Monday,
Senator, or Assessor, Deffenbaeh was
conspicuous by his absence when the
members of the upper house were
sworn In. but the real reason for Ills
absence did not develop until this
morning, when It became known that
the senator, or assessor, will not cease
to be the latter until next lUonday,
whole family ranging from father down
to baby. A rial good ventriloquist Is
always appreciated, and judging from
the applause last night this act was a
big hit.
The Empresscope completes this
week's hill.

when his term of office expires. The
reason for this condition of affairs Is
said to be because of the failure, for
some cause or other, of the county com
missioners of Bonner county io accept
Defenbach's resignation as a county
official.
Under the law Defenbach is not per
mitted to hold two such positions at
one and the same time, and since lie
cannot quit his Bonner county Job un
til bis term expires on Monday, he
cannot take his seat as a full-fledged
state senator until them.
When seen this morning the senator,
or assessor, declared, since no matters
requiring his vote arc likely to conic
before the senate until such time as lie
can get rid ot the asscssorshlp, he will
not he sworn In until next Monday, lie
declares that in the event of some im
portant question arising in which his
vole might be the deciding factor, he
will cast his vote as senator anil take
chances on the legality of the act.
in the meanwhile both Defenbach
and his friends are wondering as to the
correct title by which ho should be ud
ilressed.

Pocatello, Idaha, Jan. G, 1013.
Contest Editor, Capital News:
Dear sir: Received your sample copy
and a in very much interested in the
j'Booklovers* Contest. 1 am sending you
chuck for $3.35, and please send me the j
complete outfit. As I have not read |
anything on the contest except what is!
in the one paper you sent me, I would I
appreciate any pointers you can give 1
me to make the getting of right an
swers easier.
'Yours truly,
J. L. B.
Our story on the subject published
Dec. 23, covers what you want, so well
that we reproduce it for your benefit,
as well as any others who desire *o
enter this delightful contest, while they
still have plenty of time to get the
correct answers.
The interest in the Booklovers' Con
test is so great since our Answer Book
was placed on sah' that the Contest
Editor and the cashier of the Capital
N. ws have barely time to eat. But we
must « at, and. even while doing it, wc
hear tlie Booklovers* Contest and the j
various pictures discussed. On Sat- !
unlay evening two young men sat at
the table next to the Contest Editor in
the dining-room, and had an Answer
Book and a Catalog and the 36 pietuhes
that go with tlie Answer Book, and dis
cussed the contest in an interesting
manner, so interesting to us that we
give you the words used by the owner
of the Answer Book and the Catalog.
"Here Tom is the most interesting
game I ever saw conducted by a news
paper, and was surprised to notice, in
looking over the Capital News last
evening, that they are conducting one
in the true metropolitan style. You
know my home is in Ban Francisco,
and the "Call" there conducted one
that I became very much interest
de in. Of course I only won one
the smaller prize*, but that was be
cause I was not at home enough to give
the proper time to solving the answers,
and made a mistake in holding down
to one or two answers on most of the
pictures. Now, you kpow my sister is

!
living here here, and her husband !s in
business here, so I thought I would buy
her the Answer Book and the Catalog«
ami explain to her how to study out
the pictures. She is bright and I fesl
sure she will go in to it to win one
of the prizes. Now let me illustrate
to you how a wise young man like you
know 1 am would look at picture No. i>l
for possible titles. You see they are
sure enough Girls or Young Women.
Well, let us turn to the G's in the Cata
log, and we find first thing the title
"Girls," by Clyde Fitch, and here is
"Glinjpses of Girlhood," "Girls of a
Feather." Now, there are four of them.
Let us see what the F's say. Here is
"Four Bisters," "Four Peas In a Pod.".
But wait, this Contest Editor might
have been thinking of women, and we'U
see what the W page tells us. "Oh yes,
here is "Womankind" and "Women as
They Are." But wait a minute, he
might have been thinking of just young
folks, and we will see what the Y's tell
us. Well, the only thing here is "The
Young in Heart" and "The Younger
Set." Just then the bellboy paged us to
answer some questions propounded by
an enthusiastic Booklover on the phone,'
As we were through eating, we did not
get back to the dining-room to hear
any of the other pictures discussed by
this up-to-date young traveler. But
Ills talk brought out strongly tho
points we have been trying to explain
to you all through this Contest, and
that is the value of the Catalog and
your* rights to extra answers. And
now that we have the Answer Book for
your convenience, it is easy to exer
cise your right to as many extra an
swer?? ns you think you will need.
Where you are sure of the right answer
use only that one, but, when in doubt«
give yourself the benefit of the doubt
by submitting more than one answer
to that picture. And that Answer Book
is going so fast that wu are sorry we
placed the order for them so low. But
we cannot get any more now in time
to do any good in inis contest, so, if
you did not get yours, fill in the coupon
today, or cull at the office for one.
