Boise Mining Exchange.

idaho World.
When this Exchange was organized
everybody believed it would be ben
eft to the entire State, but it now looks
as if it is to be conducted for the sole
benefit of the Boise City belt, as it is
called, extending from the Black Hor-
net to Willow and Rock creeks. The
membership Of the Exchange comes
from all over the State, and all portions
Of the State, as we understand the
plans of the Exchange, were to be
treated alike. The first belt to be
written up was the Boise belt. The
pamphlets now out, and seven thou
send i've hundred copies are to be dis
tributed. This work was paid for out
of funds Of the Exchange. That was
all right. We have no objection to the
Boise belt getting in first. The people
of Boise county thought her turn
would come in due course OF time.
When the officials Of the Exchange were
written to in regard to the matter of a
pamphlet giving the mining resources
of Boise county, the consoling inform
alton was given that the people of this
county would be expected to furnish
all the write-ups gratis. Boise county
has contributed 900 to the Exchange
treasury and receives no benefits in re-
turn. About all the benefit this Min
ing exchange could be to the State
would be to advertise our mining re-
sources. IF it does not do this it had
better disband. AS an advertiser Of
the Boise gold belt it is a success. Now
if Boise county sees fit to get out
pamphlet advertising our wealth, pres
ent and prospective, Of what benefit
will it be to issue it in the name of the
Mining Exchange? If the member
ship fees from this county, amounting
to 5000, had been devoted to the inter
ests Of Boise county, it would have adj
vertised it in a way that would have
been productive Of wonderful results.
That amount is just as good as thrown
away.

When Thomas Benton, fifty years
ago, standing on the west bank Of the
Mississippi, at st. Louis, and pointing
westward, exclaimed, "Yonder is the
East! Here is Indian he was making
the greet speech in which the first sug-
gestion of a railroad across the conti-
nent was offered. When that famous
address was delivered, the territory be-
tween the Missouri river and the Rocky
Mountains was designated on the then
existing maps as "The Great American
Desert" given over to savage Indians
and the American bison. Only a short
time previously, the great Daniel Web
ster had made a speech in Congress OPP
posing an appropriation for the pur-
pose of reconoitering a route for mil
itary road to the Columbia river, de-
claring that the country was not worth
the expense it would incur.
Could these two great men have lived
to the present day, to have seen the
wonderful changes which have been
wrought west of the Missouri, and es-
pecially on the Pacific Coast, Webster
would gladly have conceded to Benton
that he had the better comprehension
of the possibilities Of the great terri
tory then but recently acquired by the
United States in settlement of account
with Mexico.
'The Great American Desert" has
been transformed into harvest field,
which not only supplies all the East
ern States, but feeds a great portion Of
Europe. The great inter r-moentain re-
gion is dotted all over with cities and
towns, and everywhere covered with
great herds of live stock, whose num-
bers are almost countless. From her

first kisses the foothills of the Rockies

General Sherman's famous remark
that @War is hell" is being verified by
the Spanish in Cuba, who are reported
to be using women and children for
shields to protect themselves from the
insurgents. General Weyler is keeping
up his reputation for being butcher,
but with the strong resolutions in both
houses of Congress, favoring the rights
of the Cubans as belgerants, the adj
ministration and the department Of
state at Washington fails to act. With
our recognition of their beligerent
rights, ''the toothless old wolf" would
be driven out Of the island in short

A New Nevada Discovery.

Mr.. J. w. Cowden, the Sucker Greek
coal prospector, returned this week
from a visit to his former partner, J.
Deekins, who has for several months
been prospecting in the Pueblo noun
tains, near the line between Nevada
and Oregon, and about 10 miles north
west Of Disaster Peak, Nevada.
Mr.. Cowden brought back with him
some very fine specimens of white sug-
airy quartz in which gold could be plain
ly. seen, and reports that Mr.. Deck
ms has, unquestionably, struck it very
rich. He has a claim opened with ten
foot holes at three different points
with ledge four feet wide, similar at
every point opened, and Mr.. Cowden
says the specimens shown are only fair
samples Of the ore through the entire
ledge. This is entirely new territory,
so far as gold discoveries go, although
some good copper prospects had form
erly been found in that vicinity. Mr..
Deekins has already contracted for and
will soon have a small mill running and
as he has rich ore from the grass roots
expects to more than make it pay for
development.
The location is 115 miles northwest
of Winnemucca, the nearest railway
point, and is $50 miles southwest of

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue

the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup If Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge Of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as med-

efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions Of bottles annually and 10y
the high approval of most eminent

The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant TO the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manuiact-
uring, figs are used, Ms they are
pleasant To the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.

d. W. Burnett is the owner of a piece Of
land on the American river, near Salmon
Falls, in FL Dorado county. The river bed
there, for 100 or 200 yards, had never been
mined. Some Chinese made him an offer
to lease this land for mining purposes for
two years, offering to pay him 800 for
the use thereof This was declined. The
Chinese were persistent, though, and af-
ter bartering for awhile Mr.. Burnett told
them they could have the land for the
time stated for $3.50, one-half - be paid
in advance and tho balance at the end of
the year.
The offer was accepted, and Mr.. Bur
nett was congratulating himself on his
bargain and considered the $15 to have
come into his possession easily.
He was not long in changing his mind,
As soon as the lease was signed the Chi
nese began to work. A force Of 1S or 90
men were employed by them. A wing
dam was built and wheel and other ap

was not over 800 or $500.
