Our former young townsman,
Willie Brodhead, came up from
Shoshone last Monday to see the
sights at Ketchum, and informed
the KEYSTONE that F. T. Collins
had been placed in charge of the
Dillon depot. Referring to Franks
advancement the Shoshone Journal
has this to say:
Our agent, Mr. F. T. Collins, leaves US
this week to take charge Of Dillon sta
ton. During his short stay with US Mr.
Collins has by his gentlemanly manner
made many friends. We are sorry to lose
him, but he is worthy of advancement
and has our best wishes.
"Here, too," is the unqualified en-
dorsement of every one in Ketchum.

RUMoR has reached us that a
scheme is on foot to start daily
democratic paper at Boise, and it
should be done. Surely there are
democrats in the state who are able
to carry an enterprise of that kind,
and the party will continue to be
almos: fatally handicapped in all
of its political endeavors until it is
possessed of such paper. The
Statesman goes into a very large
number Of democratic houses in
the state where it would not be seen
nor read were there a democratic
newspaper published at home to
take its place; and wherever it goes
its influence operates in behalf of
the republican party. This influ-
ence may not be great, but all news
papers influence readers to some
extent, and to the extent of the
Statesman's influence the demo-
cratic party in Idaho is injured, be-
cause the weekly papers, though
able to refute its doctrines, do not
reach sufficient number of people
to be effective, nor reach them often
enough. For there is as much in
constant iteration as there is in
power of argument. We hope TO
see the new paper established.

THE Bulletin wants a democratic
club organized at Rocky Bar, and
there should be one organized in
every precinct in the state, if the
party hopes to succeed next fall.
The blunders Of the republicans will
of course contribute to democratic
success but its main dependence
should be upon its own strength
and discipline and not upon the
weakness of the enemy.

A Great Work.

The Caldwell Tribune has this to
say Of the great reservoir now in
course of construction at Mt. Home :
A person can have but faint concep-
ton OF the magnitude Of this work By
hearing or reading. It is one of those
things which must be seen to be appreci-
ated. The dam being put in 10 probably
200 Or 800 yards long, about 200 feet wide
on the top and 48 feet high. It is being
built Of dry clay and fine gravel, rip
raped on the upper side, and when com
pleted will hold In check water enough to
form lake five miles in circumference
and from 20 to 100 feet deep. It is stu
ated in beautiful little basin, nature
forming all other sides of the lake. The
outlet is novel and safe. Some 50 feet
above the dam hole is blasted in SOLID
rock probably 10 feet. Commencing at
this point tunnel is constructed through
the hill around the dam, and comes out
some fifty feet on the other side. The
head gate will be set at the mouth of this
tunnel, and tower erected as high as the
water can rise. It can thus be easily
handled and the water can be allowed to
run through without any wear, tear or
pressure on the dam. Some sixty or
seventy teams are hard at work from day
light till dark. trying t., get everything
in readiness before the spring thaw. They
are piling up the dirt At the rate of foot
q day and have about 20 feet yet to go.
To the uninitiated it does not look as
though there was enough snow in the
mountains to fill this great basin, but
those better acquainted with Rattlesnake
say enough water to fill it will come down
In "a hours. The bottom of the lake,
although only about three miles from the
town, has an elevation of 70 feet above it.
What magnificent power. The work is
being done by Chicago company, whose
capital; stock is 100000. So far they
have met every payment, and as they also
own the town site the people there feel
that they are in earnest aud have conf
dence in them.

THE KEYSTONE is indebted to
Hon. F. H. Newell for a census
bulletin relating to irrigation in
Idaho. 1t says there are 4 1923 farms
irrigated, out of total of 1854 in
the state. The total area of irrigated
land on which crops were raised in
1890 is put at 217,OO5 acres. The
average irrigated portions of ferns
is 80 acres; average first cost of
water right per acre, 81 rs; average
cost of preparing soil for cultivation,
including purchase price, which we
presume means government price,
excluding water right, is $40 Sc
per acre; average present value per
acre, 46 so, showing an apparent
cost, less cost of buildings, of $31 20
an acre; average annual cost of
water 80 cents per acre, which de-
Quoted from annual average value of
products per acre leaves an average
annual return per acre of $12 Ii.

SECRETARY PINKHAM is again re-
ceiving the attentions of the Idaho
press, and as usual its notices are
uncomplimentary. Pinkham seems
to possess remarkable faculty for
doing the wrong thing in the right
way to make himself ridiculous as
well as obnoxious to the general
public. He never opens his mouth
without putting his foot in it to
such an extent that it must cause
him physical pain. We are sorry
for him, as we begin to think it is
destiny rather than perverseness,
and would, if we could, defend him !;
but after a most careful and pains
taking survey of the field, we have
absolutely failed to discover a sim
gle official act of his that will ad
NIT of defense. His only escape is
for him to return to the oblivion
of a strictly private life in Canada.

make all needed appropriations for

Develop Your Claims.

The Seattle Mining News gives
this good advice to owners of min.
ing claims who want to sell out
Its lesson applies here and every
other place in the mines, and
many q man has sacrificed for.
tune by being in too great hurry
to sell out, and instances are COM
mon, as the News declares, where
prospectors find mines, but do not
have the necessary means to de-
velop the property, and have to sell
for what they can get. There are also
many who own claims which they
could 60 to work and develop into
mines by mere hard labor, just as
settlers in new country take bar
rem land and convert it into profit
able farms. In this state men can
work for wages a portion of the
time and with their savings, during
that period, work their mines for a
number of months; but good
many seem to be playing at mining
and spend the money furnished
them to develop their properties in
riotous living. Simply owning
claim and holding it does not make
a mine, nor a miner. This state
contains hundreds of mines which
might make the owners rich if they
were worked, but too many want to
sell, and it is difficult to dispose of
mere prospect holes these days. In
older camps this is better under
stood than in new ones. The pros
pector sits around, delaying the
development of his property, and
frequents hotels and the bar-rooms,
looking for some one to buy claims
at prices the mines should be worth
providing the existing showing con-
tinued. They are afraid to prove the
mine and are often foolish enough
to think that some one will assume
the risk for them. Under such cir
cumstances sales are made only to
men, men who can see
further into the ground than the
majority, or recognize features that
others have failed to observe. These
men are mining men and they ap-
preciate the worth of the property,
which many times is very little.
The owner of mining property
cannot pursue a more foolish poll
cy than to defer developments when
the expense incident can be recov-
cred from the ore extracted.
