The following letter appeared in the Bos-
ton Daily journal Wednesday in correction
of the statement which had been previous
ly published, that j. L. Jefts carried
Daniel Webster to Stratton at the time of
the great gathering there in the campaign
of 1910:
Mr. Henry O. Clark, an old stage driver from
Bratteboro TO Walpoe and Chesterfield, n H..
for ID years, was taken from his regular route
and conveyed Daniel Webster and four other
then noted men of Brattleboro to Stratton, where
the famous Wing convention was held. This was
in 1910, and have often heard nv father tell the
story, Some other driver conveyed him from
Stratton to Keenr, and my father took the other
gentlemen 10 their homes in Brattleboro.

More than 100 meters have been put In

principal objection to the adoption OF the

that in many cases this is offset by the
saving that follows the introduction.

to be high grade, the ledge certainly
carries with it very big mining propo-
sition.
The gentlemen who holds the bonds
on these properties are experienced and
successful miners. They have discoy-
cred and located two claims upon ledg-
es east of and adjoining this property,
making with tia group of four claims,
and Mr.. Getchell is now in New York,
where negotiations are about completed
for the formation of a company in
which San Francisco capitalists are also
interested, and these properties will
probably be in hands very soon which
will work them vigorously. 1t is pro-
foundly to be wished that they will
demonstrate that they have found the
lode which made Blue Gulch, in an
early day so famous for its rich placer
mines. One argument in favor of this
supposition is that they find in the mine
the same character of rose quartz found
with the nuggets picked up in the plac-
ers, which has not been found else
where on that mountain.

The Journal for Highwaymen.

A week ago to-day, the Sth inst, the
stage from Jerusalem to Jerico (any
other locality will answer as well,) was
held up by lone highway-man. The
treasure box was demanded from the
driver and, on being informed that
there was no impediments Of that char
acter aboard, he disappeared in good or
der. So far so good, but it remains for a
leading representative daily journal of
the state to heap Goals offre on his head
by informing him that the stage from J..
to ]. on that day carried $1,000 in the u.
S. mail and implying that in future such
little sleepers should not be overlooked.
A few more details valuable to highway
men in future transactions were also
submitted, giving dates when valuable
shipments generally were made, or bad
been made. And this casual imfofma-
ton that large sums Of money passed be-
tween these points by stage, will be APP
preciated by hilarious Knights of the
Road and cause them to give prompt at
tention in future to this heretofore neg
lccted locality. Highwaymen should
send six dollars and become regular
subscribers to the said journal. They
will find it very valuable in their busi-
ness.
And the post Office officials, the ex-
press companies and banks will feel
grateful to have the public know that
their business between Jerusalem and
Jerico is assuming such attractive por-
portions, and ought by all means call
on the editor ofthe aforesaid leading re-
preventative daily journal and express
their satisfaction in some unmistakable
manner.
The call should be timed SO as to find

standing as clear as possible -Weiser

The Atlanta Exposition.

Among the "yictories of peacen sym
boiled forth in the various elaborate in
dustrial and artistic displays, which,
from time to time, invite the attention
of civilization, we know of none more
worthy Of earnest consideration on the
part of thoughtful men and women
everywhere, than the Cotton States and
International Exposition which will
open in Atlanta, Georgia, on the 18th
of September.
The coming Exposition which We are
assured viii be on grand scale, is the
Towering of thought concerning the
Industrial South, which found eloquent
advocacy some fifteen years ago and
since in the fervid and inspiring utter
anees and writings of Henry w. Grady,
Captain Evan Howell and other pro-
gressive, farsighted men, who believed
with Bulwer that mot to the past but
to the future looks true nobility,n and
who freely proclaimed the faith that
was in them.
We regret that the western states are
not to be more generally represented in
this Exposition in which the progress
siye spirit of the New South will appear
at its best. Georgia was the first of the
southern states to throw away the old
notions begotten by the peculiar in
stitution," and take mp new and more
enterprising methods, after the late
war, and her chief city, Atlanta, has set
the pace for progress which has re-
generated the Whole South. The West
has been gradually growing apart in its
sympathies and ties from the close and
calculating political and financial policy
of the middle and eastern states, and
acquiring greater sympathy with the
South. A close intercourse with the
South, the opportunity to establish
which is offered by this Exposition,
should rot be overlooked.

Numberso of claim owners are under
the impression that there has been a
change in the law regarding the assess
ment work required to be done on min,
ing claims. We have been asked sew
eral times if the law did not require as
sessment work to be done before Oc-
tober 1. 1t does not. The act requir-
ing 500 worth of work to be performed
was by act of Congress suspended dur
ing the year 1894 The purpose of this
act was to enable miners to hold their
claims during that year without per-
forming the usual assessment work, as a
relief from the depression of that year.
The law stands now precisely as it did
prior to the suspension of the original
act, that in order to hold claim assess
ment work to the value of 500 must be
done within the calender year, or prior
to the first of January. In other words,
the original statute is in force, Begin
ming with January 1, 1866, when the
suspension act expired,

THE WEBSTER LODE.

The source of the rich placer mines,
worked many years ago, near the head
of blue gulch, on Florida mountain,
has never yet been satisfactorily solved.
The valuable mines worked on the east
side of the gulch, it is claimed, are too
far down to have deposited the rich ore
found in the bed of the gulch, and
search has long been made for veins
higher up. Three or four years ago,
C. r. Webster, by doing some ground
sluicing, on the west side of the gulch,
discovered ledge, and Captain Wicks,
by tracing the course of the ledge, cross
cut and located it farther north. Harry
Sullivan did the same thing on the
south. Last spring the Webster and
Wicks claims were bonded to Messrs.
Getchell and Oliver, who, in addition
to the work done by Webster on his
claim, began at the point of discovery
and have run tunnel 180 feet north,
keeping near the hanging wall and an,
another drift south, 1870 feet, keeping
not far from the center of the ledge.
The north tunnel has been cross-cut
from hanging to foot wall and proven
to be 46 feet in width. The south tun-
mel is now being cross-cut toward the
hanging wall 80 feet and the wall not
yet reached. This big ledge may now
fairly be said TO have been prospected
for more than 800 feet and at consider
able depth; for both ways from the dis
covery it leads into very steep mountain
sides. 1t is certainly the biggest ledge
ever opened on that famous mountain.
The ore, for the greater portion of the
ledge, differs materially in character
form the other mines on the mountain.
and it is all claimed to carry good min
eral. Some streaks in it are certainly
quite rich, and even il it don't all prove

Mining Nuggets.
BLACK JACK.

visit to the Black Jack mines this
week found everything there running
with its customary regularity and
smoothness, and many improvements
being made around both mine and mill.
The lower tunnel, which is nearly on a
level with the dumping platform of the
mill and which will be made the main
working tunnel of the mines, will, in a
short time, be connected with the up
per workings by an upraise shaft, and
thereafter all the ore will be delivered
to the mill from this lower tunnel by
tramway 1900 feet in length, which
will be covered in before winter. At
the present time all the ore delivered
through this tunnel and tram is
what is taken out in making the up
raise and running drifts on the ledge.
A new hoist, to be driven by compressed
air, supplied from the mill, is now be-
ing placed at the upraise shaft in this
tunnel and timbers will be raised by
it to the workings above.
Half way between the mill and the
mouth of the tunnel, big boarding
house is being constructed which will
accomodate both mine and the mill
men and dispense with the two smaller
ones, at the mill and upper tunnel.
When all these improvements are COM
pleted, the Idaho-Pittsburg Mining q
Milling Company can boast of one OF
the most completely and conveniently
equipped plants to be found in Idaho.
Their mill has run SO steadily for the
past three years and its output has been
SO regular that it is unnecessary to say
anything in regard to the mine and mill
further than that both are in first class
condition and the same high grade ore
being taken out and worked in the mill.
The product is saved, first, by running
the pulp over vanners, three six foot
ones being used, and what is not saved
in the form of concentrates by the van
ners being caught by amalgamating in

the greater per centage of the value.
Quite village has grown up around
the mine. Eighteen families now re-

residing in pleasant new cottages.

ployed in the mine and mill and nota-

everything is being conducted by the
general manager, Fred Irwin.
