NAMPA LEADER: News was re-
ceived here Wednesday that the cor
poration known as the New York
Ditch Co, had made arrangements
with German capitalists to furnish
the necessary funds to pay off their
Indebtedness, and complete the big
ditch. This will indeed be welcome
news to many who have been long
expecting arrangements of this kind
to be made. The news will be glad
ly received by those who have land
that will be covered by this COM
pany. 1t will also open up large
section of fine land for settlement,
and when completed the canal will
be the largest aud one of the best In
the State Large storage reservoirs
will be constructed on the line of the
canal thus assuring 40 abundance of
water during the summer. When the
work commences, large number of
men will be employed in its eonstruc-
ton, aud large amount of money
will be expended. The nearest point
of the ditch to this town is about
twelve miles, and Nampa viii be the
headquarters while constructing q
greater portion of the work.

or'ng to them that will pay, why we
have taken new life and are full of
nope for the future of this section.
The building is 30x40 feet, and will
contain, when full, six tanks for
teaching the base metals. The ca.
Paolty OF the plant, when completed,
will be thirty tons per day. If the
company makes a success to its full
satisfaction other plants will be put
IN along the divide on the Gold Hill
belt. all the way from Canyon creek
to the mill and mines of Henry Whit
ney, at Crimes Pass, distance of
twelve or more miles. There are
continuous leads of sulphurets that
follow the quartz on the divide, and
some few places have been assayed
and l am informed most of the assays
have proven them to be paving prop
osilions, and after they have stood the
test and verified their true value, then
we can begin to look for return of the
prosperous times of by-gone days.
Dave Coughanour, since having
learned something of the lixiviatinp
process has great hopes for the future
OF the Iowa group of mines, there be-
ing large bodies of sulphurets known
to exist in the claim. / have heard
that it is Mr.. Coughanour's intention
to start up work on the Iowa mine
and mill in tho spring. 1t is hoped
that he may do so. l have it from
men who know that there is no rea-
son why the Iowa mill should not run
every day in the year. The ore is in
the mine, and plenty of it, that will
pay from six dollars up to fifty per
ton. All it wants is little capital
to develop by running a tunnel to
tap the main pay chute.
The placer mine owners begin to
show signs of fear for the good water
season that was anticipated in the
fore part OF the winter, and unless
there is more snow and rain we will
have another short run OF water for
mining and of course a scarcity OF
money. Quartz, sulphurets, hxivia-
ton, and quartz mills with all the
quartz they can work, with plenty of
gold to pay, is the only salvation for
Boise county, and will make pros
porous future. PRoss PEcToR.

THE Senate resumed consideration
of the Idaho contested election case
on the afternoon of the 18th. Sena-
tor Gray spoke two hours and a half
in favor of Glagett. Chandler, for
Dubois, followed Gray. Senator
Palmer, Democrat, who followed, lit
orally "wiped the floor" with those
who are opposing Dubois on tech
nical grounds, says the dispatches to
the Statesman. At its close Senators
Pugh, Turpie, Coke, Voorhees,, Villas,
Call, Ransom and other leading Dem
ocrats warmly congratulated the
speaker and openly expressed con-
currence in his views. 1t is now be-
lieved that Clagett will not receive
the support of one-half the Democrat
ic Senators.

AT the meeting Of the State Re-
publican Central Committee the fol-
lowing resolution vas offered by
Frank A Fem:
RESOLVED. That the Republican Com
miisee Of the State OF fdaIso welcome into
the ranks of our parry all law-abidiu9
citizens of Whatever race or creed, who
believe in the principles Of the Republican
party. who adhere 70 its cardinal doctrine
that no mar, however humble, but il en-
tnled to the protection Of the law, nor ~
great or powerful bat must obey its man
dates.
The resolution was seconded and
Mr. Fem then addressed the com
mittes, declaring that it vas not the
policy OF tae Republican party to
persecute any sect because Of any re-
ligious belief. The party was op-
posed only to evil practices and not
to beliefs. The Mormon church has
issued manifesto expressly discard
ing Polygamy. This brought the
church within the law. If there were
individual cases of polygamy those
individuals were repugnant to the
Law and we're not entitled to the right
of franchise, the Law still providing
means Of punishment The National
Republican Committee had passed on
this question and had in effect found
that there was no longer any Nor
mon party.
Judge Standrod, since the church
manifesto, had admitted Mormons to
citizenship. We are not fighting any
church, and we do not place ourselves
in opposition to the law as laid down
by the courts.
A considerable discussion followed,
all approving the general tenor of the
resolution, but some doubling its wis
dom. 1t was adopted, IL to g.

people here that smelling operations
cannot be carried on in this citv r.
cause no lime stone Is close At hand
nor any lead ores. Its not oecessarv

smslt'ng proposed to he inaugurated
indeed the lime would be detrimentsI
10 the operations and If the ore pro.
posed to be worked contained this
mineral IN excess of the silica, the
.atter would have to be introduced
INTO the furnace to neutrslize the -.
action OF the former.
II IS proposed to conduct the sc,elt-
ing the same as that now being done
by Mr.. W. L. Austin Ut Touls,on
Mont.
After the ore is received at the
works, It is put through No. 8 screen
oy crushing in the stamp mill, at the
ssme time amalgamating all the free
gold in the mortars and on the tables
From the latter the pulp flows into
the concentrating tables and the sui
ph'des are concentrated as closely a.
possible. BY this means twelve or
fifteen tons of crude ore can be re-
duced into one ton of concentrates.
BY adopting the pvritic smelling
process six to eight tons Of concen-
trates can he smelted into one ton of
matte or iron regulus. This latter
product will contain 80 per cent Of all
tbs gold and silver contained in the
crude ore. This regnlus is eagerly
sought after by the big smelters of
Denver, Omaha and other places. for
the iron alone, and they will allow the
full coin value of the gold and silver
contents to enrich their hare lead
bullion, as the iron is an indispensi-
hle adjunct in lead-silver smelling op-
eraf'ons. The charges will be about
as follows: For crushing, amalga-
mating and concentrating the crude
ore. $500 per ton; for smelling the
concentrates into regulus or matte,
about $500 per ton.

the flow to be phenomenal. Il was

BELLEVUE HERALD: At a NEE

BELLEVUE HERALD: At meet
ing of the citizens of Haley, on
Wednesday evening, it was decided
to keep the schools open for several
months to come by private subscrip-
ton, the public school fund having
been exhausted. Monthly subscrip-
tions to the amount of $3.50 were
subscribed at the meeting, and the
schools will remain open. -. R. J.
McPhee got back from Butte, Mon
tana, on Thursday of this week. He
SAYS there were at least two thousand
men out of employment in Butte
when he left. SIT matters not" he
says, "as TO the capabilities of mi
ming man up in that country, be he
American, Dago, or otherwise. He
is employed simply as machine, to
do all the work which taskmasters
may impose, and be dumb to all
manners of abuse. A newly arrived
tender foot stands an equal show
with an old experienced miner, pro-
vided he is sufficiently Submissive and
can stomach any sort of grub with
out Kicking" Mac also says the
mines are death-traps compared with
any he has ever seen, the fumes from
copper and other poisonous metals
causing constant sickness and nausea.
He has seen enough of Montana
mines and mining to last him the
balance of his life.

WAsHfsGTos, Feb. 6.Tbs CIs-
gett- Dubosse csss came up 10 the
Senate to-day. Senator Mitchell, on
behalf Of Dubois, nsds mastesly
and unanswersble legal argument 81
two bours' durssion. At sbs close 81
his speech the opposition vas not
ready to 60 on, being IN bad shape =
: result Of tbe telling points msde By
the Oregon Senator. They wanted
time to collect themselves.
During the progress Of MitcheIrs
speech, Stewart was much excited
and made . number Of interruptions.
When Mitchell said : second time
that Dubois had been duly elected =
shown BY the record and that con-
test had been trumped up afterward,
Stewart Wildly Hourished some pa
pers which he said we're sfidsvits
recently secured, showing that objec-
tion was made TO the proceeding 1t
the time Of Dubois election, on the
ground that it was not the second
Tuesday after organization Of the
Legislature
The Senator remarked soto voce
that it did not seem to bother either
Stewart or Clagett to get afidayits On
a moments notice.
Dubois sat near Teller during
Mitcheirs address, apparently sn IN
concerned and disinterested specta-
tor The Republican Senators ex-
changed pleasantries with him occa-
sionallv.
Ciagett was extremely nervous.
He would SIT by Vance awhile and
then move back to the Democratic
cloak room. Then he would slip in
and coach Vance again, whispering
occasionally to Gray and Stewart
This shows his reliance on Democrat
ic votes. His leading champions are
Democrats. He openly consults with
them on the floor and disguise is no
longer possible.
He still insists, or, rather, Stewart
does for him, that he is Republican,
and that the question is not a partisan
one Everyone understands, howev-
er, that his supreme effort has been
to make the question partisan oae,
with the hope of securing the solid
Democratic vote, and four or FIVE
Republicans in addition through
Stewards treachery.
1t is possible that Sanders of Mon
tana may join Stewart and the Dem
ocrsts, although it is not believed that
he will have the hardihood to do so.
He is under cloud with the Demo
Gratis, and has never had any stand
ing with them, as they believe lie was
not entitled to the seat, which he got
by strict party vote. If he should
now vote against the law and against
his party on technical grounds he
would no longer have any standing
with the Republicans.
Clagett furnished Vance mass OF
manuscript just before the case was
opened. After consultation in the
Democratic cloak room between Clag-
cit and the Democrats, Vance came
out with the manuscript and asked
that it be printed as part of the mi
nority report.
| Senator Mitchell, who had witness
ed the entire performance, asked
Vance who furnished the matter
which he sought to have added to his
report Vance tired to dodge the
question, but he finally said it was
| furnished under direction OF the mi
raritv of the comnittaa

in April, except for a few days, doing
what they can to Dust Treasurer

assured them that he would surely

fit-in his pants pocket if he pleased.
After remarking that they had a man
employed to guard the safe If Mr..
Bradley would only leave the money
there, the commissioners took their de-
parture, and are probably holding ex-
ecutive sessions connecting some plan
whereby they may further carry out
their designs Of prosecuting county
