The Wallace Miner is listed as a Second Class Mail Matter published every Thursday by Wallace Printing Company located in the Elks Temple Building, Bank Street, Wallace Idaho, with entry at the Wallace Post Office.
The Coeur d'Alene mining district shows renewed optimism as new mines, notably the Bunker Hill & Sullivan effort and the McPhillips discovery, suggest many years of productive ore. Prospecting and development press on near active mines, with potential for further rich finds across the region.
The tourist travel for this year was practically ended and the question of maintaining a free camp on charging as has been done during the past season will doubtless be threshed out before the next season opens. But after all the question of making the mall fee to cover actual expense.
The Coeur d Alene district should expand beyond viewing tourism as advertising for mining. Plans to attract and retain travelers for multiple days could shift spending beyond the city, showcasing local scenery and outdoor life. The piece urges leveraging Yellowstone era routes to draw visitors to Wallace and surrounding attractions.
The 1923 New York morning press strike began September 17 as printers quit, publishers refused to deal, and President Berry sought replacement labor. Samuel Gompers condemned the unlawful action after Berry secured union help, noting the strike was opposed by both press and public and by union members. The episode highlighted Gompers’ cautious stance and timing amid union leadership debates.
The text argues a judge’s jurisdiction and timing for denouncing a strike, stating if it was beyond his jurisdiction on September 17 it remained so on September 28, and that denouncing on September 28 would be less appropriate than doing so on September 17.
Idaho prison commission urges legislative action to fix deplorable conditions at the state penitentiary. Crowding, poor sanitation, lack of segregation, and limited inmate instruction are cited, with proposed steel cells, running water, proper lighting, and a new cell house to modernize facilities and aid reintegration. The commission seeks public support for taxation to fund these improvements while avoiding overzealous reform.
The text argues against assuming ore from dikes, noting veins often follow cracks and intrusive rocks share a common magmatic origin. It urges miners to chase ore itself, not just dike contacts, and describes how dikes and veins form along fissures due to shared genesis and mechanical weakness. The geologist aids but should not dominate the search.
Scribner s October issue features Mary R Andrews voyage piece The Voyage of the Sudden Death revealing a cheerful canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness from first hand woodsman perspective. George Ellery Hale hails James H Breasted s Egypt studies in The Work on an American Orientalist while Henry Cabot Lodge discusses One Hundred Years of the Monroe Doctrine and Sherrill profiles Mussolini the Pope and the Red Socialists in Great Personages in the New Italy amid Italy s critical era.
A Cypriot official Constant Antoniades asks the University of Idaho about its forestry correspondence courses. The Forestry School notes two offerings Our Trees and How to Know Them and Lumber and Its Uses. The latter, started 1918, has over 300 students since inception, mainly out of state with Idaho residents among enrollees.
President Coolidge rejects calling a special session to aid wheat growers unless a definite, practicable plan is proposed. Some newly elected Senators demanding an extra session admit they lack concrete proposals. If they cannot decide what they want, they cannot expect agreement in the 96-member Senate.
The article argues igneous contacts are not universal ore sources and rejects the view that ore escapes from cooling rock. It notes many igneous contacts lack ore and clarifies that even narrow dikes linked to veins require careful assessment rather than assuming direct mass transfer from the intrusion.
The text explains earthquakes arise from dislocation along crustal faults as the earth’s crust continually moves in various directions. It notes fracture lines off Japan and California and remarks on slip magnitudes, including a 40 foot Yakutat event felt worldwide.
A rugged maritime poem narrated by a captain and steadfast crew facing endless seas. The mate pleads for mercy, but the admiral urges persistence with the refrain sail on. At dawn a single light appears, symbolizing resilience and the lesson that perseverance conquers the dark.
At Caribou in Beauty Bay work on a new 10 ton ball mill foundation has begun with over a hundred sacks of cement laid. Mechanics expect to place the mill boxes next week after the cement dries in ten days to two weeks. The second tunnel ore is being broken at four feet daily and two shifts will be added, plus a drill at Number 8 tunnel to outline the vein. Winter buildings are ready and officers expect continued activity all season.
Adam Aulbach of Murray spent a busy summer preparing gold property near Murray for production at the Buckeye mine near Wallace. He toured the area last Monday, noting tunnels, ample ore, and a two stamp mill with steam boiler and equipment on hand. Production is planned for spring and he will resume contributions to the Miner to promote mineral resources of the North Side.
The Macedonia Mining company held its annual stockholders meeting at W. H. Hanson's office last Thursday evening. Elected were A. M. Mundell as president and manager, L. J. Echols as vice president, and W. S. Leland as secretary treasurer. Directors include W. H. Hanson and E. R. Nelson. The firm owns a large group of claims on the west fork of Slate creek rooted in A. M. Mundell’s early prospecting efforts.
The article notes substantial preliminary development work by an unnamed party led by Mr Mundell. Favorable signs point to important lead-silver ore deposits. Directors joined Mundell last Sunday to inspect the site with plans to start development. Mundell faced typical capital-raising challenges but left confident that development would proceed soon.
Dr. F. B. Laney of the U S Geological Survey and University of Idaho predicts the Seven Devils district in central Idaho may become one of the west’s richest copper regions. Based on surveys by the geological survey and Idaho state bureau of mines, the Seven Devils area shares the same formation as Oregon’s copper belt, with railroad access boosting potential returns from ore.
Giant Ledge project advances after surveys at the Giant Lodge four miles above Murray. J L Stanford oversees winter work to extend the drift at the 400 foot level and sink the shaft from 400 to 500 feet. Lead-silver ore at 200 and 400 levels prompts talks of a mill, but management aims to prove larger tonnage first. The compressor has been moved to a new building near the shaft.
At the Pratt Kansas state fish hatchery fish are fed by electricity. Large bulbs line the pond edges attracting moths and other insects which cover the water beneath the lights and are quickly devoured by the fish.
