Affairs 111 Idaho Camps.
Robert Bell, state mining inspector of
Idaho, who was in the city recently,
spoke in the most glowing terms of the
outlook for the mining industry of our
sister state, and to The Mining Review
he said;
"Idaho is advancing very rapidly, and
tile indications are that the state will
make the biggest showing in its history,
tins year, in mining affairs. The re
markable values ami ore bodies that
are being unearthed in the gold camps
immediately tributary to Boise, in
winch a great deal of Salt Lake and
eastern capital is being invested, prom
ises to make Boise one of the leading
gold mining centers of the state.
Authentic reports from the Thunder
Mountain country, .of the results of the
winter's development of a number of
small crews of men who have been
actively engaged in opening up the
mines, are such as to warrant the be
lief that that section of the state will
force itself upon the attention of invest
ors by sheer merit.
At Lewiston a new steamboat lias
been launched which is especially de
signed to operate the upper Snake ' river
as far the Inonaha country, where some
copper-gold deposits are being opened
n P and a new smelter is going in.
"The advance in silver and lead values
has had a marked effect upon the Coeur
d Alene mines, which are enjoying the
most prosperous period of their exis
tence.
"Loom Creek, in Custer county, is
maintaining the promise of last fall and
has already attracted a considerable
population of eager miners and pros
pectors: a dozen new mining companies
have been organized to operate in the
district and a good deal of actual devel
opment is being done with excellent
results, while some very fine values
have been brought to light. The Lost
Packer has several carloads of $300 gold
ore on the dump as a result of the
winter s work with a small force of
men, This lot of high grade ore will be
l»ut on the Salt Lake market as soon ns
tlie trail is open on the Custer summit.
The district seems destined to experience
one of the most substantial booms that
Idaho has ever seen, during the coining
summer.
"The winter campaign in Lemhi
has produced some remarkably interest
ing and profitable results. Extensive
bodies of good ore have been developed
at the Gold Dust and other properties
near Leesburg, and at the Dark Horse
mine near Baker. Specimen gold and
copper ores have been opened up in
piantity during the past two months
that is of sensational value, and this is
sure to put these properties on the
shipping list this season. At Indian
Creek, the Ulysses continues to main
tain its bonanza proportions. The new
fifteen-stamp mill on this property was
started up about the first of January,
and lias since been turning out a profit
of from $4,001) to $5,000 per month, with
the ore bodies at t he mine swelling to
such proportions as to warrant the addi
tion of fifteen more stamps, and this
will probably be done during the coming
summer. At the southeast end of
Lemhi county, in the Texas and Spring
Mountain districts, the winter develop
ments among the rich silver-lead mines
of that section have been very satisfac
tory, and it is a conservative estimate
to say that tlie mines of these districts
will send at least 1,000 tons of rich wet
silver-lead mineral to the Salt Lake
Valley smelters during the season of
100Ü. These mines produce an ore very
similar in'composition and values to the
Silver King mine at Park City, Utah,
without the zinc, and they are in good
demand here.
"On tlie whole, the spring outlook for
Idaho's mining industry was never so
bright before, and I look for some very
important development and discoveries
as tlie season advances, and the most
prosperous year for mining that the
state has ever experienced."—The Min
ing Review, (Salt Lake City, May 5,

We do not believe there is another
community in America where people
better appreciate good merchandise at
the lowest prices, than the people who
come into our store. We often hear
customers say : 'T can buy these goods
of you about as cheap as 1 did in the
east. These are the kind of goods we
har e been wanting, and bought where
we came from, but I have never been
able to get them until this store opened
up." Sometime ago we had our an
nouncements in this paper that we sold
shirt waists for less money than the cost
of the material, and our sales on these
goods were far better than we antici
pated. We are now selling the best
"Perfect Fitting Clothing" nt lower
prices than those of auy other firm.

The following is State Mine Inspec

an angle of 03 degrees, with a strike

southwest.
' 'The tunnel is as straight as an am>w,
and after getting through the surface
soil the roof exhibits a clean, bright,
black-banded vein of rich bituminous
coal for the full length of the tunnel,
with the exception of a thin parting of
white, sandy clay two to six inches
wide that traverses the center of the vein.
"The floor or foot-wall foundation is
a blue, compact slaty shale, and the
hanging wall or roof is of white mica
cous sandstone.

'At this point in the tunnel the vein
still shows the effects of surface influ
ences, but at a point 400 feet in from
the mouth of the tunnel and about 150
feet vertically under tlie surface tlie
coal is firmer, brighter and of much
superior quality and a sample at this
point gave the following analysis:
Per Cent.
Moisture....................... 1.30
Volatile matter.................38.30
Fixed carbon.................... 58.57
Ash............................. 3.33
Sulphur..........................50
Total......................100.00
''This analysis proves that the vein at
this depth carries a very superior article
of clean, high grade bituminous coal,
containing a much higher percentage of
fixed carbon than the average of tlie big
producers of Utah and Wyoming. The
exceptionally high percentage of fixed
carbon shown by the last analysis is
closely verging on to semi-anthracite,
and it is my opinion that, unless it met
with a fault, this vein would, if followed
down on its dip, rapidly develop a super
ior quality of free burning anthracite.
"The Horseshoe mine is forty miles
from the Short Line railway at St. An
thony over a very easy road all the way.
I was informed that tlie mine produced
100 tons of coal during last winter,
which was sold locally to the farmers,
and a good deal of it liauled to St. An
thony and Rexburg when tlie sleighing
was good, where it found a ready sale
at $7 per ton. "
Child Burned to Death.
Hattie Richards, the 6-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F, D . Rich
ards of Driggs, Idaho, met with a shock
ing accident on May 9 and died on tlie
morning of May 12 about 1 a. 111 ., after
three days' suffering. The little one and
some of the neighboring children were
playing near a bonfire and the Richards
girl got too near and her clothing
caught fire. The fire being some dis
tance from the house it took some time
to notify the folks. In the meantime
Hattie fought the flames with her hands
which were also badly burned. Every
thing was done for her that could be
done but she passed away at the above
mentioned time. One thing that makes
the affair still more sail is that her
father. Mr. F. D. Richards, on May 1,
got stabbed in a quarrel with Mr. Lor
enzo Jeffs. Mr. Richards' wounds,
however, did not result seriously and it
was on the day and at tlie time that
Mr. Jeffs' lienring in the justice court
was in session that the little girl met
her fate,
Mr. Jeffs was put under $3,000 bonds
to stand trial in the district court.
Mr. and Mrs. Richards have the sym
pathy of all, and everything possible is
being done for their comfort.

The Wages of Sin.
Over at Preston reports say that a
shameful state of affairs has developed.
Some ten or twelvo yonng girls ranging
from 14 to 18 years, are shortly expected
to increase the population of that burg,
for missdeeds committed during the
past winter. As a result of this expos
ure, about 20 young men and boys will
be called before the bar of justice to
answer to the charge of statutory rape
Many are already' under arrest
The whole town is torn up over the
disclosures and sorrow and shame has
been brought to many homes in conse
quence.
It is a sad case from which to draw a
lesson, but the caso ought not to be
passed by without calling some atten
tion to the cause of it all. It comes
about by the indiscriminate association
of young people, where there is no safe
guards whatever provided. Young girls
and boys are permitted to roam about
at will and all hours. If, with such li
cense, there is any spirit manifest, to
deviate from the narrow path, the
chance is frequently offered, and the
result is always the same, disgrace, dis
honor mid loss of respect.
Young people ought to take heed
from tlie experience of those in Preston,
and govern themselves accordingly.
-Montpelier Examiner.
Skinned Alive.
To be literally skinned alive was the
fate of Mrs. Julia Kahlert of Kootenai,
Idaho. Mrs. Kahlert died at the Sacred
Heart hospital last week, says the Spo
kane Review. Pemliigus is a very pe
culiar disease and literally skins the
patient alive. It is rare and none of the
physicians iu Spokane had ever seen a
case before. The disease originated in
a large blister. Other blisters form and,
expanding, take the skin off tho patient.
It is always fatal, as there is no known
means to stop its dread march.
