W. A Berglund, cooperative weather observer, presents eight winter seasons of November to March snowfall in the Coeur d'Alene district.

The figures cover measurable precipitation as temperatures stayed near freezing.
Jay W. Stevens chief of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and Pacific Coast Fire Chiefs will speak at the board of trade luncheon next Wednesday on fire prevention. The talk aims to boost public awareness and coordinate plans for the Pacific coast chiefs convention in August. A permanent forest fire prevention committee was formed, and a three member ore exhibit committee was authorized to send northwest ore samples to St Paul for a permanent display.
The camp was referred to the publicity committee and the president authorized to gather Coeur d Alene district views for advertising. Those views were framed for display in the public library’s community room. Mitton W Emmett, former Kellogg Commercial Club president, urged a paved road between the smelter city and Wallace and urged Wallace business leaders to back the project.
The article notes a promising link at Hecla with the Wide West strike, detailing an ore shoot at the 2000 level about 1800 feet long and 5 to 25 feet wide. It envisions the ore body extending 800 feet below the 2000 level, suggesting a larger plan could secure future profitability if the deposit continues deeper.

Brady expects ore on the east side of the fault within 90 days, with local partners involved.
Milton W. Emmett of Kellogg, manager of the Argentine Leasing Company, said shipments will start next week after O W R N & Co completed a side track for direct loading from the bin linked to the tramway. About 200 tons of ore are ready, with silver and copper values, to be treated at Sweeny mill and Bunker Hill smelter.
