DON'T OVERLOOK OLD CAMPS.


How often do men strike fortune
by doing a little more work in aban-
doned shafts or tunnels2 1t was the
loss of a rich NINE by quitting too
coon that led the Irish prospector to
say, an never again quit quartz
claim before digging ten feet further"
The same is true Of mines that are
supposed to have been worked out.
On this subject tie Baker City Dem
ocrat makes the following sensible re-
marks:
There is phase Of prospecting al.
most entirely lost sight Of, and that is,
prospecting in mines which have been
worked and have yielded for number
Of years and then abandoned as work
ed out. No greater mistake could pos
sibly be committed than to condemn
these mines as either worked out or
worthless. Evidence continues to be
furnished by every mining camp that
the mines referred to have not been
half prospected, and numerous cases
in point may be quoted to illustrate
and support this assertion. In fact
the advantages offered in the shape Of
good roads and transportation through
many of the old mining districts should
hold out Inducements to prospectors
which all entirely new country, cut off
from communication, does not afford
A systematic course OF cross cutting
10 many OF the abandoned mines
might lead to better results than are
to be gained by prospecting new
ground.
In support of this claim we need
only refer to the success attending the
operation OF that king of producers,
the Virtue mine, under the superin-
tency of John w. McNally.. This
property yielded its millions as far
back as the COS. Early in the 70s 1T
was closed down, the operators behev.
ing that the property had been re-
heved Of its treasures. AT subsequent
periods work was resumed, but was
not until after the present manage,
ment took hold of the old producer
that the permanency of the property
was established. To-day it is the
heaviest bullion producer in the State
OF Oregon, and the enterprising owner
Geo. w. Grayson, of Oakland, Cal, is
receiving his just reward for the un-
flinching faith reposed in his old
property.

"A. b. CLAaK, OF IDAHO.

From the Northwest Magazine, for March.
Probably one of the best-known
men in Southern Idaho is Mr. A. B..
Clark of Mountain Home. Mr..
Clark was born on farm among
the rugged hills of Onondaga Coun-
ty New, York, February, 7, 1856.
Cast upon his own resources at the
early age of thirteen. he was forced
to make a struggle unknown to the
rank and file of boys Of tender years.
AS Mr.. Clark once remarked, mo
one, who has not had the experience,
can appreciate the hardships and
the struggles before, and the temp
tations that surround, boy who is
battling with the trying vicissitudes
Of life alone and single-handed."
Very early in life Mr.. Clark Sc
lected Chicago as the place wherein
to build his reputation, and there
he soon became known as an h nor
able and promising young man.
For several years past, however, he
has resided at Mountain Home,
having first been tempted by the
fiattering reports concerning the
beauty and healthfulness of the
climate. He is engaged in the de-
lightful work of fruit-growing, and
has one of the finest young orchards
in the State Of Idaho. 1t comprises
standard varieties Of apples, prunes,
peaches, ounces, plums. pears,
apricots, nectarines, mulberries,
walnuts, hickory-nuts, butter
nuts. etc.
The ranch is surrounded by row
of forest trees-which gives it much
the appearance of an oasis in that
great, sage-brush desert. That he
is thoroughly pleased and satisfied
with the country is shown by re-
mark which he made to recent
visitor, to whom he said, with char
acteristic enthusiasm, This is in
deed land of golden opportunities. "
But Mr.. Clark finds time to de-
vote to other matters as well. He
is prominent Mason, having served
as grand master of Idaho; and, al
though he never has sought political
honors for himself, he is an uncom-
promising Republican and a very
earnest worker in the interests of
his party. During the recent North
western immigration Convention,
held in st. Paul, Mr.. Clark was one
of the most prominent and Jealous
delegates, his remarks having been
listened to with exceeding interest
and carrying great weight. The
fact that he is associated with some
of the most enterprising citizens of
Chicago in developing a large tract
of land adjacent to Mountain Home,
attests the estimation in which his
business qualities are held and in
dicates his great value to the town
and State in which he makes his
home.

More Selections of Mineral Land.

As will be seen by land notice in
to days World the State officials are
after more mineral land in this Sec
ton. The people are warned to keep
off OF certain townships for sixty days
from and after Feb. 4, 1896, so that
the State authorities may select any
OF the lands in the townships named
Township 8 IN range 6 is near Idaho
City. A line run about a mile and
three quarters east of this town strikes
the west line Of said township little
over mile north of the southwest
corner. 1t covers placer ground along
More creek and also nearly all of Gam
brinus mining district. The north
boundary line cuts through the Gam.
brinus quartz claim. Township in
range is in Elkhorn district. The
State officials have already selected
seven and three-quarter sections in the
best mineral sections ON this side Of
the Basin, and still they haven't
enough. With these selection and
school sections l6 and SO in each
township we will not have much min
eral land left. The three township.
that have been eliminated from "A res
ervation heretofore made are not on
known mineral land. They were elm
mated, without doubt, by instructions
of the State officials. II is very evil
dent that mineral land is what they
want. They not only take our min
eral land, but the timber, which tim
Der will be needed by the mining sec
tons that nave not been selected
Prospecting will be almost entirely
stopped. No one will prospect on
land he knows has been selected, and
others not knowing where the selected
land lies, will not prospect at all in
this vicinity for fear Of getting on Sc.
lected land, or school sections. Our
mining industry has been given hard
blow by this disreputable gang OF State
officials.-Idaho City World.

No great percentage of the Repub-
licans Of Idaho are silver men. When
test is applied they are found on the
other side. Those who are genuine
silver men will show their wisdom by
cutting loose forthwith from their anti.
silver political associates. They
have the evidence, positive ard
unmistakable, that the Republican
party is single gold standard party
in Idaho as well as elsewhere. The
silver majority fa the Democratic
party in Idaho, the minority that is
for free silver in the Republican party,
and the solid silver forces of the Pop
ulist party, if united, will carry Idaho
for silver man for President. The
silver men must unite TO win-and we
believe they will unite.-Idaho City

In some conditions the gain
from the use of Scott's
Emulsion of Cod liver Oil
IS rapid. For this reason we
put up a SOC. size, which is
enough for an ordinary cough
or cold, or useful as a trial for
babies and children.
In other conditions gain
must be slow, sometimes
almost imperceptible, health
can't be. built up in a day. For
this SCOTS Emulsion must be
taken as nourishment, food
rather than medicine, food
prepared for tired and weak
digestions.
SCOTS EMULSION has been endorsed by
the medical profession for twenty years. (Ask
your doctor,) This Is. because 1t Is always
paiatabie always uniform always contains
the purest Norwegian cod-iiyer on and hypo-
phosphites.
Put up in SO cent and $I.oo sizes. Tho
small size may be enough to cure your
cough or help your baby.

A fellow who recently tried tc
ride bicycle, met with such hard
luck that he expressed himself in
the following language: These blad-
der wheeled bicycles are diabolical
devices of the Demon of Darkness.
They are contrivances to trap the
feet of the unweary and skin the
nose of the innocent. They are full
of guile and deceit. When you
think you have broken one to ride
and have subdued its wild and Sa-
tanic nature, behold, it bucketh
you off in the road and tears a
great hole in your pants! Look
not upon the bike when it bloweth
upon its wheels, for at last it buck
eth like a bronco and hurteth like
thunderl Nho hath skinned legs
Who hath a bloody nose? Who
hath ripped breeches2 They that

SQUARED THINGS.
How Mr.. Du,kIrk Got Even with His
ScoreIiinc WIFE.

Cleveland Leader: ~ must confess"
said CInclnnatus BuskFk, that things
have not been going exactly to my Tx
ing around this house since You got
that bicycle. hate 10 complain, but
this thing OF coming home TO cold
meals right along is getting tiresone."
oh" said Mrs. Buskirk.with shrug
I'm afraid you're not feeling well to-
day. ] guess your tires punctured-
Mr.. Buskirk fell back q couple OF
steps, and for moment thought that
his ears must have deceived him. II
was the first time that he had ever
heard his wife make Use OF slang, nor
had She ever IN the past presumed 10
dispute with him when he had suSgcs-
lions 10 make. ignoring her remark,
however, he continued:
And another thing that ! object to
Is using safety pins for the purpose or
fastening my suspendcrs to my trous-
ers. II seems impossible TO get u button
put en- them now, unless ! do 1t my
self"
Dear mel" his wife returned. What
can be the matter with you? ! guess
you're gcarcd too high.
CincIrnatus Busklrk took out his
handkerchief and wiped several large
beads OF sweat from his brow. after
which he looked In dumb amazement
Mt his wife Gathering courage, after
about a minute. he resumed:
"I notice, too, that our little Algernon
Is permitted to run at large with torn
brcechcs and dirty face. II you had
not always been so careful in the past
to keep him looking neat this would
not be 20 surprising. but"
There, there" Mrs. Busklrk inter-
ruptcd. 81 know that something has
gone wrong with you. 1t must be that
your saddle Is on crooked"
He sat down and stirred at her. Could
this, he thought, be the gentle creature
who. had In the past been so anxious 10
crafty his every whim? Could this be
tho little woman who had filled his
brenst with pride In the days gone by
and who had been willing 10 be bossed
around rs " she had been bought in
stead of married by him? But he tgnor-
cd her nippancy. and said, In injured
tones:
There's mighty little here nowadays
to make me want TO hurry home, after
my work at the office 10 done. You arc
seldom here 10 greet me as / come In.
l generally find things upside down,
around the house, while you are on
trying to break n record or hustlinG
for new places where scOrchinS can be
INDUCED In without especial danEer to
life and lIHsb. I'm pretty near sick of
It,"
"Ak." she said, In soothing tones.
and attempting 10 pat his check, what
you reed Is n new sprdckes"
Then he went out to the back hall
where her bicycle was kept, and looked
at Il long and earnestly. At first he
thought II, would kick the spokes out
of the thing, but after L moments re-
Election another plan presented Itself to
his mind. On tho morrow he bought a
machine for himself. Now the Busltlrks
are happy again. and most OF little
AlgernOn's spare moments are passed
upon the seat that has been rugged up
for him on the front end OF his cnthu-
slnstlc nAnn'R who'd.
