John Randolph, a veteran miner
and pioneer of the Basin, died at
|Placerville at o'clock this morning,
|of heart disease. He has been in
poor health for long time. Deseas-
led was over "a years of age; was
born in Norway, July 10, 1919; came
Ito California in 1852 and to Placer
willie in 1865. He was a prominent
Odd Fellow and member of the
Lodge in Placerville. He had not
accumulated a great deal of this
worlds goods but he had host of
friends, which gives conclusive evil
'dence that he was a man worthy of
esteem. Two brothers reside at Be-
|nicia, California.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow at p. NJ, from the Odd Eel
low hall at Placerville, under the au-
spices of the Lodge.

Seven Devils Copper.
Weiser SIGNAL

R. G. Eckes, the expert who rep
|resents the Salt Lake men who con-
template putting in the smelter at
Seven Devils, arrived last week and
went into the camp in company with
Mr.. Hoyt. Rogers, Hoyt and the ex.
|pert returned last evening.
Mr.. Eckes was amazed at what he
saw in the camp. He said: "For the
last FIVE months have been chasing
around after copper prospects, and in
Eall the prospects l have examined du-
|ring that FIVE months there is not as
|much copper combined as there Is in
Ione location in the Seven Devils. -
He said that all the prospects he had
examined in Utah, Wyoming and
elsewhere would not supply enough
copper to keep the Salt Lake refinery
Irnnning month, and that the CON-
spany needed just such source of
supply as the Seven Devils, and
would undoubtedly take hold right
away. Mr.. Eckes figured that on the
Peacock, taking in from the road lew
el without going down, there were
100000 tons of ore. Producing 800
pounds to the ton, this would yield
|54, 100000 pounds of copper, which
at ten cents would be worth $5,4OO,-
1000. This is all in sight.

The State Wagon Road Commis-
SION, which has been in session ut the
Capital the past week, will, probably
adjourn Tomorrow. Advertisements
for bids on the whole line of construc.
ton will not be ordered published at
this meeting OF the Commission, as
some of the engineers have not
completed the entire survey oi
their sections.
The Commission has decided that
Boise county's piece of road, which
is to be built into Bear Valley, shall
extend from Banner, by way of Dry
Lakes and Clear creek, as the law
CLEARLY indicates. The survey in this
county still lacks about ten miles OF
being completed and Surveyor He'd
den was ordered to proceed at once
and complete the survey. He will
probably pass through this place to-
morrow on his way out to finish the
work. Hedden's report shows that
he has already surveyed 60 miles, al
together, on different routes, and that
the expense is $l183, which sum is
none too small. The route from Ban,
lner to the centre of Bear Valley, ten
|miles beyond where Hedden has sur
|vsyed, was surveyed by the State
Road Commission, last year, at an ex-
|pense OF $3.50. The only difference
|in the expense of the two surveys is
that the Commission secured the use
|of pack train from the Government,
which had been used on the geolog-
|ical survey, Tor which they were not
charged.

BOISE DEMOCRAT: The Bellevue
Herald thus tells how a rancber pre-
vented an army of crickets from raid
ing his fields: The crickets were
threatening his two hundred acre
field, two miles below town, when he
had a twelve inch board placed
around the field, caused the board to
be lined with tin, and had the upper
edge of the tin turned down outward
some two inches, so that, even if Mr..
Cricket should crawl up the tin he
could not crawl over the little sharp
edged shelf. A huge land roller is
also employed to roll over the vast
crawling army in front of the tin
board barricade, which crushes mill
ions of the little jumping jacks. In
dustry combined with ingenuity can
accomplish wonders, and proves that
man is the master in every emergen-
cv."
ODE Corder, on Indian creek, kept
the crickets out of his field in the
same manner, and so have ranchers
on the sage plain opposite Boise. 1t
is the only efficacious barrier against
the pests yet devised.

Resolutions PreAented. = speeches

According to the call of the vice.
president Of the Bi-metallic League
for Idaho, silver mass meeting was
held at the Columbia theater in Boise
City on Wednesday evening. The
board Of trade had previously selected
committee to draft resolutions to be
presented at the meeting. These
resolutions we're read by Gov. McCon-
nell, who was chairman of the COM
mite. The resolutions make q con-
else statement of the silver question
in behalf of our state, and conclude
by requesting our Representatives in
Congress to vote against repeal
Of any portion of the Sherman law,
unless the repeating act itself con-
tains provision for reconciliation
and recognition of silver as it existed
under the laws in force prior to 1878.
Rouslng silver speeches were made
by Senators Shoup and Dubois, Capt.
James Gum, George Ainslie, and
Chief Justice Huston. The gather
ing was very representative, includ-
ing ladies, and every utterance and
every resolution for silver was cheer
ed enthusiastically.
A committee composed of I. S.
Weller, Colonel Mullen, D. P. B.
Pride, George Ainslie, Alfred Eoff,
Sigmund Falk, and G. w. Moore was
selected to appoint delegates to at
tend the meeting OF the Bi-metallic

DEATH OF MRS KEENAN, JONES
Obituary..
BY n. W BARRY.

Leaves have their time to fall;
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, y
DeathP'
Wednesday morning, July 26th, a,
10 minutes past IL, the spirit Of Nancy
Margaret, the beloved wife of Heman
Jones, took its fight to that land
where there is neither pain nor sor-
row. The ago Of Mrs. Jones was so
years, 2 months and 3 days. She was
taken sick last February and her
death was from heart trouble. She
was born in Missouri and moved
to Illinois when two years of age, and
married Heman Jones in that State
10 1853. That year they crossed the
plains, being FIVE months on the road,
enduring the hardships and Drawing
the dangers usually incident to a trip
across to the Pacific slope in those
days of slow and tedious travelling.
They settled on farm in the Waldo
Hills, near Salem, in Marion county,
Oregon, where they resided until
1865, when they moved to this coun-
|ty, being among the early pioneers
whom the gold excitement of this
place attracted from all directions.
She has resided here continuously
since then, and in early days, when
the family lived on Buena Vista
bar, the writer, when a school
boy, formed her acquaintance, which
soon developed into warm and last
ling friendship. Mrs. Jones house
was the favorite resort of the school
children, who we're always greeted
with pleasant smile and a hearty
welcome. She was the mother of
FIVE children-three sons and two
daughters. Her youngest son, Gro
|ver, died in 1865, at the age of seven
years, when the family were living
on Buena Vista bar.
Her last moments were anxiously
watched by her husband, her sons
IL. w. and G. E. Jones, and her
daughters Mrs. A. B. Day and Miss
Amelia Jones, her daughter-in-law
Mrs. E. w. Jones, and son-in-law.
Alfred B. Day. There were also
present at the bedside Mrs. J. A.
|Lippincott and Mrs. w. r. Byrne.
She leaves a twin brother, Newton
Walker, who resides at Viola, Marion
county, Oregon, also brother, Lem
|uel Walker, of Woodburn, Marion
county, Oregon, and many relatives
in Illinois and Oregon to mourn her
loss in unison with the heartbroken
family. Mrs. Jones was a woman of
sterling qualities and was so devoted
to the welfare of her family as to be
rarely ever seen from home. Those
who knew her best, loved her most,
for her sweet and pleasant ways that
seemed to be a part of her ma
ture. Her friends are many and all
feel sad to think that one who has
done so much good in the world was
not permitted to remain longer, but
there is a consolation in knowing she
lis now meriting the reward she so
Justly earned by her good deeds
while here below. The svmpathies
of the entire community are extended
to the bereaved husband and family
lin this their dark hour of trouble and
sorrow.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied.
. We thought her d, ing when she slept
And sleeping when she died"

TIE down stage from this place to
Boise had a small runaway yester
day. The stage met freight team
in bad place about a mile above
Dunnigan's toll gate and had to
be lifted out of the road in or
der that the team might pass. The
cover of the freight wagon in passing
caught against the covering of the
stage, which scared the stage horses
and they started to run. The driver
and the two passengers were not in
the stage at the time, so the horses
escaped and ran away with the stage,
but were stopped at Dunnigan's place.
The only damage done was tearing
the covering from the stage.
