One striking phase of. the present
mining activity is the success that has
attended the efforts to rehabilitate old
properties. In the older districts there
are many patented mines that have
been lying idle for ten to twenty five
years, and investors are beginning to
turn their attention to the opportuni-
ties brought about by changed condi-
tions. Operations were suspended on
these mines years ago because the ore
was not of sufficient value for prolita-
BILE production, or the margin of profit
was very small. With lower smelling
and transportation charges, lower
wages, and cheaper supplies, ore that
did not pay the cost of production
twenty years ago now yields very
handsome profit. Men of means are
looking up these proerties throughout
Utah and Idaho, clearing out the old
workings, and many instances open
ing up large bodies of pay ore. The old
districts thus offer quite as fine field
for investors as many or the newly dis
covered regions.-Inter Mountain Min

The insurance adjusters are getting
almost to the end of their labors in fix
ing the amount to be paid the Tiger
and Poorman Consolidated Mining
company on account of the recent fire.
The total insurance on the property
actually in the fire was $4,000. 1t is
estimated by parties conVersant with
the matter that the company will re-
celve about $4,000 from the insurance
companies. No definite plans have
been made regarding the new plant
pending this adjustment,-Ceur d

wishes to keep abreast of the rapidly
developing international questions of
the day. In the April number there is
a full and able editorial discussion of
the complicated African situation,
which is described as ''the drama of
Europe in Africa" The mixed inter
ests and motives of England, Russia,
Italy and France in the Dark Cont

general attitude toward the European
powers is also discussed, and the editor
comments briefly on Americas relation
with Spain, our interest in the Cuban
revolution, ami the present status of
the Venezuelan boundary dispute. In
addition to this editorial treatment lin

Jack Hamlin and II. A. Keym have
evidently "struck it rich" on Moscow
mountain. On Tuesday Hamlin had
four assays made from on as many
claims, aud one showed $l4.10, and an
other $l48, while the other two showed
only trace. On Wednesday Hamlin
opened a camp on the Black Bear and
Why Not claims from which the rock
was taken that made the large assay
was only ten feet deep and the vein
was several feet thick. uamlin is con-
fident that they have struck it big and
will run a tunnel far enough into the
mountain to determine the extent of
the ledge and the value of the ore.
Five assays from a claim about 5000
feet east from the Why Not averaged
$40 Is to the ton, the highest being $22,
and the lowest $405. In these claims
the quartz resembles decomposed gran
lite and the gold is scattered all through
it, there being no vein but simply a
mountain of the decomposed forma-
ton with gold in all of it. In the next
thirty days the prospect work will be
done on 4 number of the claims already
located on the mountain and if the
claims being worked by Mr.. Hamlin
show up we'll, others will begin active
operations and development.-MOscOw

Idaho gets very little in the sundry
civil bill this year. She will probably
get about one fifth of the $4,000, ap'
propriated for the public surveys, and
is one of the states in which the max
imum rates for surveys may be paid.
The geological survey will probably do
a small amount of work in this state
during the next fiscal year, and several
hundred dollars will be expended in
the work of guaging streams and de-
termining the water supply. The min
eral land commission, consisting of IL
members, whose duties are to examine
and classify lands within the limits
of the Northern Pacific grants in Mon
taua and Idaho is continued by an ap.

be appropriated for the publication of

Willard Walter, the sheep man, who
resides near Castle Creek, swore out a
warrant a few days since for the arrest
of B. II. Mathewson for assault with
intent to commit murder on the person
of one George Ellsworth, who was herd
ing sheep for Walter.
The case came up for examination
before Probate Judge Lewis this week,
and Mathewson was held to the district
court under 800 bonds The sheep
herder, Ellsworth, testified that his
sheep got into Mathewson's field and
that he was in the act of driving them
out when Mathewson shot at him, the
bullet going through his coat and vest.
Mathewson on the other hand, swore
that he did not shoot at him. There
was no other testimony in regard to
the assault.-Silver City A0alGnche.

ROSWELL (, HORR IS DEAD.
His Illness Contracted During
 the Campaign.
The Michigan Representative Was a Valued Champion of Protection, and Stumped the Country Tn Be- half of That Principle.

PLAINFIELD N. J., Dec. 18-Ex- Congressman Roswell G. Horr died to- night. He had been ill for several weeks. Excessive work in the cam paign brought on an attack from which he failed to rally.
 Mr. Horr was a representative from Michigan in the house a few years ago. After leaving congress he went on the stump in the interest of the Me Kinley bill. He became noted as an advocate of protection, speaking in all parts of the United States. Subse- quently he was connected with the editorial staff of the New York Trib- une. A year ago he attracted atten- ton to himself by his debate with Coin Harvey on the silver question. MT. Horr was a good talker and a genial man and had hosts of friends throughout the country who will be pained to learn of his death.

of inquiry, that while he was disposed to hold strongly for the presidents prerogative, he was not nearly so strongly opposed to Cuban indepen- dence as he had been a year ago, and that he would be entirely reconciled to it if satisfied as to the future course to be pursued. He did not dissent strongly from the point made that his own report showed sufficient cause for action and he admitted that a state of affairs which permits the killing of American citizens and the destruction of American property was deplorable
 "They are, however" he added, ''the incidents of war"
 Not of war properly conducted, but of anarchy" was the response.
 The secretary said: General Lee has made no general written report at all; he has made reports on several special cases, but not on the Cuban situation as a whole''
 While the committee will report the resolution as agreed upon Monday, it is not expected the question will be pressed until after the holidays.
 This was private bill day in the house, but most of the session was de- voted to the passage of thirty seven pension and relief bills favorably acted upon by the committee of the whole last Friday. At the opening session of the house there was pretty piece of by-play growing out of the pre- sentation of a resolution from some additional employees of the house. The house was in a state of confusion and Dingley and the leaders of the major ity were catechising Odell as to the necessity for an increase When they finished their dialogue Richardson of Tennessee complained that he had not been able to hear what had been said and he inquired suggestively if dis tinguished leaders of the house. had officially announced that an increase was necessary before approaching the extra session. Dingley parried the thrust and replied blandly that he was sorry his confusion had rendered ii impossible for the gentleman from Tennessee to understand what he had said. The resolution was defeated.

A LIFE TOO PRIMITIVE FOR HER
Mrs. Brumbach Objects to Marriage
 Bonds in Narrow Bounds.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 1S-Ida B. Brumbach sued Thomas G. Brum- bach today in the circuit court for di- vorce. They were married in 1888 and have one child. She says that in 1890 he left her secretly in the night, talk ing $700 and two wagons and teams. She was anxious about him, but a neighbor told her he had gone to Colo rado. A few months later he wrote her and in 1895 he sent her money to come to him. She went to Colorado and he took her to live on ranch in a small house with only one room in which she and he and five others ate and slept. She objected to that and left and returned to this city.

WASTING PUBLIC MONEY.
Appropriation for Dredging the Chi
 cago River Was Too Large.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-The Hi nois representatives who went to call upon Secretary Lamont yesterday aobut the improvement of the Chicago river, came away with cold chills run ming down their backs at suggestion which the secretary made to them. The appropriation which the Illinois mem- bers obtained at the last session for the Chicago river, was $700,000 for dredging the channel to the depth of sixteen feet. It has since been discov- cred that the cost of dredging will not be over $250,000 and they want Sec retary Lamont to authorize the con- tracts for strengthening and widening the river, to be paid out of the ap- propriation already available. After discussing the matter at length, the secretary closed by saying: Well gentlemen, even if we should decide that this might be done, you must re- member that there is Comptroller Bowler to be reckoned with. He migh1 refuse to authorize the payment of any money that was not used specifically for dredging, as seems to have beer intended by the wording of the bill." MT. Bowlers reputation for sticking close to the wording in appropriation | bills was too well known to all presen to need further explanation. And tha closed the interview.
