WAS CALLED BACK.

Constable Clyne arrested a man
named H. II. Mills on Wednesday on a
telegram from the sheriff at Pocatello.
Mills is accused of stealing eight head
of COWS from Rowland Bros, dairymen
at Pocatello, and driving them this
way, selling five of them to Owens
Bros. at Iona. He was locked up in
the city Jail, and it being little cold,
Clyne allowed him to keep his pocket
knife that he might build fire, which
he did, and by heating the fire shovel
and burning and cutting with his knife
while the shovel was heating, he at
tempted to cut hole through the door,
but did not succeed. Deputy Sheriff
Geo. Ross came up on Thursday and
took him back to PocatellO.--Idaho

Got into Jail.

Three bad boys, about 1G years of age,
broke into A. b. Bean q Co.'S. hardware
store last Friday night and stole half a
dozen revOlvers, some cartridges and a
little loose change and some postage
stamps, The youngsters broke Il pane
of glass in the door and then shot back
the bolt. A passer-by happened to see
them in the store and gave the alarm
but the boys lied before the officers got
there. They were all heavily armed

These youngsters, it seems, had had
their heads turned by blood-and. thun.

the East side where they had established
headquarters and had concocted the
great scheme of holding up Union

in Hamburg, and that the fruit took
well, with the exception that the prune
was a tri6e to sweet for the German
palate. The prune in question Was the
French. lie gave chem an idea of the
favor of the Italian prune and was as.
sured that prune with a tart flavor
would be just what the market desired.
The Turkish prune has tart flavor
and IS sold on the German market, but
for less money than the California
product, for the reason that they are
carelessly dried and put up in coarse
sacks, while on the other hand the Cal
ifornia prune is dried excellently and
put up in attractive packages. The
duty on dried pTunes is half cent per
pound, while it costs less than a fourth
of cent per pound for the freight
across the ocean from New York to
Hamburg. He is not prepared to say
what the cost would be on dried fruit
from here to New York, but feels sat
isfied shat If we make the proper effort
to place our fruits on the German mar
ket the railway companies will assist
such efforts by making a specially low
freight rate on such shipment.
Speaking of apples, Mr.. Jacobsen
said: II made the assertion to an i'm
porter of fruits in Hamburg, that l
feared we would not be able, on &C.
count of cost of transportation, to place
our apples in a green state npOn the
German market. He replied, never
mind the cost, if you have fine article
it will pay you to put it on this market.
This firm paid FIVE cents per pound,
wholesale, for apples last fall. There
is no duty on apples in a green state"
Mr., Jacobsen is thoroughly convinced
that the German market want our ItaI-
ian prunes in preference to the sweet
French, and will in the near future
place some of that variety on the Ger
man market. lie viii be pleased to CO.

VALVE OF FARM ANIMALS.

According to statistics published by
the department of agriculture at Wash.
ington, says the Iron Age, the aggre,
gate value of farm animals in the
United States has declined very mater.
tally in recent years. At the present
time the value Of these animals is 1885,.
580,597 less than it was in 1898. The
decline is more particularly observable
in the case of horses. Taking the sew
en- years from 1890 to 1896, it is shown
that horses increased in number until
1893. In 1892, however, their value be-
gan to fall off, and in 1895 it was not
quite half that of 1892, showing an ag-
gregate decline in this respect of about
$5OO,O00,OO0. This depreciation is at
tributed in the main to the introduce
ton of trolley cars and bicycles The
high cost of fodder. however, after re.
cent seasons of drought, is also given
as contributing cause. The value of
mules since 1890 has fallen nearly $780,
100000, or not far from half the total
existing value of these animals in the
United States. On the other hand
mich cows have increased in numbers,
while the average value of these ami
mails has advanced steadily within the
past few years. The increase in value
of mich cows last year, as compared
with 1894, is S1,S0OOO0 Oxen and
other cattle decreased in numbers more
than 100000 in 1895, while their value
increased on an average $3.50 a head in
the same period. A decline is noted in
the numbers and value of sheep in the
last three years, the decrease in value
aggregating about 100000 and the
falling off in numbers of these animals
last year being nearly 100000 Swine,
in 1895, declined per cent in number
and 10 per cent in aggregate value, the
total decrease in the value of swine in
1885 being nearly $SS,OOO,OOO. 1t is ex
pected, however, that the enormous
corn crop of last year will have favor
able effect on the next statement of
farm animals, the tendency to an in.
crease in numbers and value being al
ready observable.

POINTERs FOR FRnIr Gp0wrps.

Mr., N. A. Jacobsen of this place. who
has just returned from a Ave months
visit to his old home in Germany, in.

the markets of Northern Germany, that
California prunes as well as American
apples were sold readily. He SAYS he
looked into the matter pretty thorough
ly, and is convinced that there is
probability that the fruit growers of
Idaho may soon take advantage of the
German market. He says that In Ger.
many fruit growing has been greatly
overlooked, that the government real.

CONDITION AND VALUE OF CUBA.

Cuba is the island we want for her in.
herent wealth, for the fact that her trop-
tcal productions would invigorate, aug.
ment and give symmetrical complete
ness to our commerce, and she assure
us supreme control of those seas, as
American as our great lakes. Ameri-
cans Of the United States should no
longer involve themselves in the con.
ceit that they alone are capable of self
government. The Cubans have had
the teachings of many troubles and
wrought with sad sincerity" and if
the test comes it will be proven that
they have builded wiser than we knew.
We have no place for Cuba save as a
state, and she is worthy to be a men,
Der of our Union. That is the fate and
fortune that await her, and it is the
only way of salvation. Sooner or later,
maybe very soon, perhaps after some
time has passed, the grasp of Spain
will relax, and Cuba free, will substan-
tiate her freedom forever by consolida-
ton in our imperishable SYSTEM

CYANIDE ELECTRIC PLANT.
The New Process Empisyed In liz De Lamar
Mines-ExeeIlent Results Secured.

In an article on the new process Of
running recently introduced In De La
mar, the Nugget says:
"The plant consists Of two shallow
brick tanks, standing side by side, thor
oughly cemented, with level cement
floors, each divided into three compart-
ments by ridges running transversely
across them. In either end Of each
compartment is a cylinder and over the
pair of cylinders is a belt made of peri
GRATED sheet steel, to the outer surface
of which are bolted wood strips in
which are set wooden pins. In the ce-
Inent floor of the tanks are placed
strips of sheet copper, forming the neg
alive pole of the electric current when
applied On these floors are placed a
layer of quicksilver. This pulp is
charged into one of these tanks from
81 storage tank connected with the bat.
terry. The steel belts are set in motion
and the chemicals to form the solution
are poured into the pulp. The current
of the electricity is turned onto the
steel belts through the cylinders on
which they run and the belts, with their
wooden pins, keep the pulp constantly
stirred, while the electricity deposits
the mineral, as fast as dissolved, upon
the underlying quicksilver as the cur
rent passes through 1t to the negative
pole. Each charge of pulp is kept in
motion in the tank until the values
have all been dissolved and taken up by
the quicksilver, ten hours being consid.
cred ample time for this purpose. The
tanks, which are made to hold twenty
five tons each, are charged alternately.
The power required to drive the steel
belts and the dynamo is considerably
less than would be needed to drive pans
and settlers working the quantity of ore,
end no steam is required for heat in
this new process. The labor employed
to attend the tanks is very little. The
tanks may be charged an indefinite
number of times without drawing off
the amalgam.
"TO sum up-The advantages claim
ed for this new process are, a cheaper
plant than an amalgamting mill, less
power and less labor employed and last
but most important, ability to save the
highest percentage in any character of
ores which can be worked by solution.
.''At the present writing only one of
the six sections of this plant has been
running, some mechanical changes
having to he yet made to make them
run smoothly. No cleanup or report
Of results have been made further than

quire several days yet to give definite

One of the richest gold fields ever dis.
covered is on Trestle creek about four
miles west of Hope. Several men have
been working there for about two
months, and a number of promising
claims have been located. The Tam
arack claim. owned by X. Wanemaker,
Sam Black and Jack Stonehocker is
the principal cause of the excitement
here today. Our forms were ready for
the press when word reached us that
AL. Lindsay, who has been down from
his Trestle creek claims for a couple of
days, had pounded cut small guam
tity of the ore from the Tamarack and
found that it was very high in free
gold. On going to Wanemaker's store
to ascertain the facts in the case we
were shown the gold that had been
pounded out, and it is indeed very rich
in the yellow metal. From the colors
in the pan we were able to see that the
ore would run several hundred dollars
in gold. Several tons of this ore is on
the dump and the company has ledge
eight feet in width. Miners are flock
ing to the new discovery by the dozen,
and everyone believes that we have a
second Cripple creek out here close to
our town. The owners of the lamar
ack have 30-foot shaft and some tun-
mel work and it has been improving
with depth, but the find is much richer
than they ever anticipated. AS the
mine is only one mile from the lake it
will be easy of access, and lively camp
