-KErcuUM, Jan. II, 1886.
Ed. KEYSTONE: In your last
issue there is statement with
regard to the rare metal vanadium.
1t seems somebody has found van
adate of lead in mine, and thinks
it is a big thing, worth $4,000, etc.
It is true the metal itself is costly
because Of the difficulty of extrac-
ton from its ores as well as the
scarcity of it. But no possible use
lfas yet been found for the metal
itself. The salt vandate of ammo
MIA is the only useful form of it.
l have purchased this in London,
at retail, at the rate of $36 per
pound. Nor is its use great, even
were it cheap. In conjunction with
certain acids and mordants it pro-
duces splendid black. But have
proved to my own satisfaction that
after few months it fades to a
dingy dust color.
Yours truly, ~

From the tenor of letters received
from Camas Prairie we judge tina
the people of that region will g
solidly against annexation if thu
Salmon River line is made tn,
basis of territorial disvision. AND
the grievance would be a tangible
one, for quite a large percentage o.
poll and personal property take:
in Idaho county are derived from
south Of the Salmon, and to cut of
that portion would practically
bankrupt the county. We await
further developments from that
section with great interest, as in
common with Lewiston, Camas
Prairie has big business south OF
Salmon River that we cannot
afford to lose, but cerainly will
lose if the territorial line ISM
showed fifty miles farther south

The annexation question is
getting to be somewhat mixed"
Now comes word from the north
that a petition 20 Delegate Voorhees,
is in circulation in Asotin county,
W. T., and is being numerously
signed, asking North Idaho be not
annexed to Washington. Also in
North Idaho there is growing sem
timent against annexation, and it
is doubtful, if the question was put
10 vote. if annexation would
receive a majority. 1t will not be
long until North and South Idaho
are connected by rail, then northern
counties would be better off in
Idaho than in Washington. 1t is
only a question of very few years

and when so bound together we
believe that al clamor for separa-
lion would cease and that the north
would soon realize that the best
interest of her people would be to
remain in Idaho.-Boise Statesman.

Lieutenant General Sheridan, in
conversation with a representative
Of the Associated Press on Friday
last remarked:
Il have reason to believe
that General Crooks opera
ton will result in the destruction
OF Geronimo's band and the resto-
ration Of quiet in the region of the
Apache depredations, but the work
cannot be accomplished in a day
Now that General Crook has full
sway, his tact and fearless energy
viii, | doubt not, bring about
good results. He has all the troops
he wants and they are placed in
the most advantageous positions.
Detachments guard all the water
ing places and patrols and scout
ing parties cover the entire area OF
10000 square miles over which the
savages have been operating
Every route which is practicable to
white men is thus guarded. The
failure to cxtirpate the band long
ago is due to the willy instincts OF
IN enemy so small in numbers
that the methods of actual warfare
cannot be employed. with effect,

There was fair attendance al
the Anti-Chinesc meeting last even
ing. The assembly was called to
order by George W. Taylor. Geo.
NJ. Parsons was chosen chairman.
He appointed T. +. Picotte sccrc-
tary, and Charles Haupt, j. II.
Van Ness, Lyttleton Price, p. NJ.
Bruncr and Thomas Connolly a
committee on resolutions.
Vigorous speeches were made by
George III. Roberts, Lyttleton Price,
G. l.. Waters and p. Nj. Bruner.
The resolutions were read by
Lyttleton Price, and the meeting
unanimously adopted them. They
stated that the Chinese must go
that no violence would be used !;
that a committee of five citizens be
appointed to notify the Chinese of
the nature of the resolutions. The
Sheriff was requested to close the
Chinese opium joints.
At the close of the meeting the
roll was produced, and received a
large number of signatures.-Hai-
ley News Miner, 18th.
Careful consideration of the
nature of the Anti-Chincsc move
ment begun in HALEY compels us
to uphold it and recommend the
same procedure in ketchum. The
Chinese curse has been sufficiently
demonstrated by the press to be
thoroughly understood by every
citizen. We want to get rid Of
them, but good judgment does not
dictate violent means. HALEY pee-
pie simply propose to cease patron
izing them. If this is studiously
carried out the Chinese MUST 60.
There will be nothing to stay for.
Such a plan will admit of sufficient
time for peaceable settlements
between them and the whites, and
and there will be no rash or dis
honest work. A few weeks at the
most and nearly every Chinaman
in the county will be out of sight.
If any movement is begun in
Ketchum, let it be of this dcliber-
ate order. Let it be the outgrowth
Of just consideration and careful
judgment. While we cannot applaud
the various bull-headed schemes of
immediate, expulsion, springing
up in different parts of the country
from rash eloquence and untimely
action, we do believe that calm
and peaceable movement, such as
simply refusing to employ them
directly or indirectly, will bring the
needed result and free the country
of its worst curse.
