something wider, and longer and
bigger than the question of temper

The ". C. T. D. Lecture.

The address given by Mr.. Fred
Gillette before the w. G. T. U. last
Sunday evening was listened to by
good sized and attentive audience.
The following is synopsis of the
speakers remarks:
Mr.. Gillette gave an outline Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and pointed out that it was
an outcome Of two great significant
facts of the 10Th century, viz: the
coming of Woman to consciousness
of herself as a Power: and the
growth of the modern world toward
the principle of Organization.
Rome had first organized the world,
but failed of permanent success
through insufficient recognition Of
the individual conscience; and
mankind had to wait for the lesson
which Christianity brought, viz
the sacredness Of individual man,
AS MAN, before the organization Of
human society could be placed up
on growing and improving basis.
The speaker said this was the mean
ing of the Woman's Christian Union
and all other Unions that are now
joining forces for the worlds work.
It is useless for individuals to self
ishly isolate themselves from this
grand tendency. In doing SO they
simply leave themselves out in the
moral and spiritual death of indi-
vidualism. All must freely join
hands and go forward together in
order that the great world problem
of universal good may be solved
"No one is accomplished SO long as
any are incomplete: The happi-
ness Of one cannot consist with the
misery of any other
The speaker read copious ex-
tracts from a powerful pamphlet,
compiled from the latest sources OF
information and statistics, showing
some of the perils our country still
has to meet; such as those of I'M
migration, intemperance, socialism
the dangers and misuses Of the
enormous, and in the history of the
world, the entirely unparalleled
growth of wealth, which is so rap.
idly accommodating with US; politics
and crime in the great cities; ma
terialism: Atheism, etc.
The speaker closed by appealing
to the Ketchum local Union to
nurse within itself the principles
of faith. By keeping in the spirit
of work it would find work to do
Especially here in the great West
which is 80 soon to hold the bal

uINIke SUMMARY.
The Famous Parker Nine Again Com
ing to the Front---Notes.

The KEYSTONE has authentic in
formation that a valuable strike
was made on Tuesday last in the
we'll known Parker mine. The de-
velopment was made on the main
incline in that portion called the
Rooster Winze," between the first
and second levels, at a point in the
mine which had never heretofore
been prospected much, and at a
depth of about one hundred and
fifty feet. We are informed that
the vein is thirty inches wide, two
feet of which is pay ore. A certifi-
cate was exhibited of an assay of
ore from the find showing SAG OF.
silver per ton, with but small
percentage of lead.
The Parker mine was at one time
a large producer of extraordinarily
rich ore and returned handsome
dividends to it's owners, but the ore
body gradually weakened, and very
little work has been done on it for
the past year or two, except under
leases. The lessees, Messrs. Camp
& Mahoney, having the utmost
confidence in the old mine, perse-
vered in their work and have the
satisfaction of finding the valuable
ore body above mentioned, and the
KEYSTONE wishes the faithful lessees
that success which their untiring
efforts entitle them to.
This development in the Parker
is very important to all interested
in mining claims located along the
Elkhorn and Parker belt, and
should inspire all the owners in
that locality with renewed conf
dence and assurance that all that
is needed to bring the hidden wealth
to view is work. In few months
the keystone tunnel that is now
being driven must penetrate the
ore bodies which undoubtedly now
lie hidden in the Elkhorn hill
When this is accomplished and ex-
tensive mining operations are re.
sumed upon the Parker group, and
active work is commenced upon
the Baltimore group and surround
ing meritorious mines, it will be
the means of infusing new life into
| the mining industry around Ketch
UNI and giving employment to hun
dreds of miners.

CLAYTON'S FUTURE.
Another Newsy Letter From Our Epe'
cial Correspondent.
CLAYTON, IDAHO. Jan. 10. 1889.

ED. KEYSTONE: It is not in a
boastful mood that we care to speak
Of our mines, neither do we care
to publish any misrepresentation
regarding the future Of our camp
simply to create a boom here; but
when one can point with pride to
the magnitude of our output, is it
at all strange that the people of
Clayton feel exultant over her very
fattering prospects?
The Silver Rule mine, owned and
operated by the A. J. Crook & Co.
company, is virtually but six
months old and her output for 1888
is nearly 100000. What can we
not expect for the coming season,
with 60 men already employed in
opening the ore reserves, and the
daily output at present, in simple
development work alone. is quite
20 tons of ore per day, or, in dollars
and cents, some So, 900 per month?
What lead mine in the Northwest
to-day has a better showing?
The Rule" has been discovered
some two years or more. 1t was
operated by the original locators
before being purchased by the pres
ent owners only to the extent of the
necessary assessment work each
year. Ore was found continuous,
but in a very diminutive state, from
the grass roots down. The surface
ore was of low grade and would
hardly pay for handling at the then
excessive rate of smelling and
freight charges. The management
of the smelling works here, know
ing the ore to be very essential
article to use in conjunction with
the smelling of the Ella and Lark
mine ores, purchased the "pros-
pect," commenced development,
and the result is as before stated.
My authority for the output Of the
mine to date is taken from the
books of the company, and is there
fore correct. l herewith append a
statement Of statistics furnished me
| by A. J. Crook q Co, of the amount
Of business done by the company
for the year 1888. Are they not
favorable, particularly when you
realize that but one short year ago
the town of Clayton was composed
of but six people?

THE shipments of ore from
Ketchum from Sept. 1st to Dec. 31st,
since the new ore rate became eff
fective, was 2,995.43 pounds. This
is said to exceed the shipments
from Haley and Bellevue together.
The above figures do not include
bullion from Bayhorse and Clayton.

The purchase of the Ingersoll
plant was chiefly for the purpose
of driving a cross-cut tunnel to tap
the Ella mine at a greater depth
than was possible to do by hand.
The tunnel is now in 600 feet, and
according to surveys there is yet
about 80 feet to be driven. At the
present rate of work being done by
the drill, about ten days will be
taken yet in completing the tunnel
and tapping the ledge.
Some 10 feet above where this
tunnel will tap the ledge is the bot
tom of the shaft that at present
writing is the lowest workings OF
the Ella mine. In the bottom OF
this shaft, and in the main work
ings above and to the west 100 feet,
is already exposed a continuous
body Of galena and iron ore ~ feet
wide. Should this ore body extend
downward to the tunnel level, as is
expected, six months from now will
prove also the Ella to be bonanza,
with sufficient ore exposed to war
rant a three years. run at least OF
the smelter.
Of the Deltifee mine, We only
know that it is the producer of the
iron ore requisite to the huxing OF
the Lark" Rule" and ella "
mines. From surface tracings 1t IS
evidently continuation Of the Ella
vein, but more promising, with
same development, than ever the
Ella was. Mr.. Stephen Wilcox is
the foreman of the Deltifee, and is
thoroughly capable manager OF
the same.
OF the Skylark mine it is useless
for me to speak further. This mine
is so we'll known and all Idahoans
are so conversant with its output
for the past seven years that the
mine has gained reputation. SUI
flee it to say: we are but all infant
our camp is considered inaccessible
in winter; we are the terminus OF
fifth rate mail service; we are
considered out of the world and pay
a high freight on all we consume,
but We will 'get there, all the same"
and "don't you forget it." Our
town is growing rapidly; our PEG,
pie are possessed of the push and
vim that warrants success; SIX
months from date will see US CON
nected with the outside world with
something more than a sem emil ?,
sional mail, and the year 1889 Will
prove Clayton the greatest producer
of anv silver and lead camp ~
