Morning Mine Fire Claims Three Lives
Morning mine reports say water floods the 1400 level where the fire is located, slowing progress toward resumption. The origin remains unsolved, but heroic rescue attempts saved several workers as three men died and others were treated for gas exposure. The fire is now located above the 1400 level with water pumped from 1200 to 2000 to flood the area.

Gasoline tax bill moves to legislature approval
A proposed gasoline tax bill before the Idaho Legislature seeks a state highway fund funded by a two cent per gallon license tax on motor fuel sales. The measure lacks explicit fund distribution, potentially benefiting counties with extensive state highways but undercutting those with few miles. It imposes monthly filings to the secretary of state and a $500 fine or up to six months in jail for violations.

Congress urged to halt British silver export and issue silver coin
Editorial proposes immediate action pending the Pittman act expiry. It urges Congress to retire one and two dollar bills, circulate silver dollars, and instruct the treasurer to buy 600 million ounces of silver after expiry for coinage. The plan envisions foreign banks holding silver coin while importers provide legal US money, and suggests a future price trigger to change the ratio. It argues foreign markets would eagerly absorb a billion dollars of silver coin in exchange for goods, enabling large exports.
