a prospector recently returned
fro ON the Elk City mines reports
that country as being full of men,
prospecting the hills, and that the
ground is having thorough turn
ing up in the shape of numerous
prospect holes that have been sunk
or to use his words, 1.-THE hills am
punched full of holes He also
Says that the run to that country
thi Is spring partook the nature of
a stampede. About 60 men are
going in and about as many com
ing out daily. Every rock in the
co, lntry shows evidence of being
Clipped by the pick in search OF
uartz. Some very fair prospect
ing placer has been located. but no
great strike has been made within
his knowledge. The ground al
ready opened is being steadily
worked and is paying fairly well.
On account of hard times no very
great move has been made in open
ing up the quartz mines, although
ma my very promising looking gold
lodges have deem located. He
thinks, on the whole, that the Elk
City country will develop very fav-
orably and is good country to be
in for steady paying mines.

BUFFALO HTrlnP PL1CERS.
The Mining Country JriOufdry
to GrdnOecihe is Receiring
Much attention.
Spokane Chronicle.


Idaho people are philosophers. If
they can't sell silver at a profit
they will increase their output of
gold. While some of the silver
mines are closed and others can
only be worked with the strictest
economy the Idaho gold fields were
never so prosperous. The Murray
quartz mills are working their
hardest.
The Warrens mine owners are
preparing to introduce new meth
DDS and modern machinery. Scores
of prospectors will explore the
widest parts of northern and CEN
trail Idaho this summer in search
of new ground, while hundreds of
Others are already taking possess
ion of the old placer fields. The
vast areas that were lightly skim
med by prospectors thirty years
ago and then abandoned and ig-
nored are now found to be rich
enough to yield many comfortable
fortunes if worked by modern
means.
ID. II. Summers, a citizen of
Grangeville who arrived in Spo-
kane last evening, gives a fair ex-
ample of this new invasion: "Thcre
are more people about Grangcville
this spring than have been seen for
many years. he said, land this
year they will have nothing but
gold. Last year a few of us started
out to examine the old placer fields
and found there is a great deal of
ground that can be worked at q
good profit Some of it was touched
by the prospectors of the early
days, and other sections passed by
as too poor to trife with. For
years they had been unnoticed,
but we determined to test them
and located considerable ground.
We soon found that in these days
the''abandoned placer fields are ex-
tremely profitable.
Ihls spring other men began to
prospect the old fields. The sea-
son was very late, in fact the snow
still fingers on the mountains and
that delayed them considerably.
But they kept coming until now
there are more than a hundred
new men on the hills and others
on the way. They have made sew
eral good discoveries, especially
around the Buffalo Hump, forty
miles from Grangville. At the rate
they are now working nearly all
the ground will be taken up before
snow flies, and next year will see
more gold produced in the Grange
vile country than was ever known
before"

In a paper giving the result Of hio
careful and prolonged investigation
of this subject, DR.. Duncan Buckley
declares that 1t is not proven that
any number of individuals have ever
acquired the disease from direct con4
tact with Others affected. or that Il
has ever been traced, in any proper
ton OF cases worth mentioning, dil
rectly from one person to another.
There is strong reason to suspect, he
says, that it may first be introduced
into the system by the way Of food,
fish being the most likely OF all sub
stances to furnish and convey the
poison; heredity probably accounts
for share Of the cases. but the dis
ease is not necessarily transmitted BY
inheritance; incubation with leproul
matter may be the means of convey1
ing the disease when all the condt
tions are favorable.

1t Worked Well.

A red-nosed man, with shabby
clothes, stopped before the row of
seats under the big weeping willow
pear the bridge in the public garden
bhe other afternoon, says the Boston
Journal. The seats were mostly oc-
cupied by women and children.
Bending down opposite a bright
looking little girl, the red-nosed man
said smilingly:
Il wish / had nickel for you,
little one. You would like a ride on
the swan boats, wouldn't you, dear?"

Here's the nickel for the child.

The rednosed man reached out his
hand and took the money with an in
