PEACOCK FARMING.
Raising Pheasants Is q New Fad WITH
Millionaires.

Raising Pheasants Is New Fad with
Millionaires.
Raising peacocks and pheasants is
new business in this country. To sup
ply their wants o number of million.
aires are importing birds and eggs from
England.
George Vanderbilt is among the num-
Der. He has already lot of peacocks
of the breed curiously called "japanned''
perhaps because their feathers have
a metallic, lacquer-like gliitering. They
are often wrongly spoken of as the
Japanese or japan peacock. Theodore
Havemeyer has recently imported lot
# pheasant eggs Of the choicest breed,
He sent them to his model farm, Nah
wah, n. j., and then invited a company
of bantam hen9 to hatch out the young
birds.
Peacocks, although not common
sight in this country, are occasionally
seen; pheasants ere even more rare
but, as already said. a demand has
arisen for them ard lucrative bust
ness should be carried on in dealing
with both the eggs and the birds.
In Suffolk, England, there is pleas
ant news upon one estate where more
than 100000 eggs are sold annually.

rocks in all their glory; indeed, the
place is famous for these birds, Of
which the hahdsomest are white. -
Having become possessed of a pair o.
peafowls, they require very little man.

If kept in confinement they pick up
pretty substantial living themselves;
it must he seen to that they have plenty
of water and grain, and occasionally
fresh vegetables. In winter they must
have sheltered home. In summer
they avail themselves of the sheltered
trees and in some secluded nook the
nest is made. The hen should be left

tered with while she is on the nest
Matching the c@g3.
A peafowl allowed to make her own

The supreme court has handed
down an important opinion in the
case of the Vermont Lean and
Trust Company against Ross Hoif-
man, from Nez Perez county
This was case for a foreclosure of
mortgage, defendant having bor-
rowed $500 and given coupon
notes for the interest, which notes
themselves bore interest from ma
turity. The company had not ta-
ken out a license to loan money in
the county. The lower court sus-
tanned a demur to the answer, and
when the defendant declined to
amend, gave Judgment for the com
pany. There were two points in
volved. 1t was claimed by the de-
Tense that the mortgage was in
valid because the company had not
taken out IA license to loan money
in the county. The supreme court
holds, however, that the failure to
take out n license does not inyali-
date mortgage, but simply makes
the company liable to fine. The
other point is that OF compound
interest. The court finds that the
interest coupons bearing interest
themselves from maturity are com
pound interest and contrary to
law. Under the statute it was the
duty of the lower court to give
judgment against the company for
10 per cent of the principal in ia,
Vor of the school fund, and to de-
prive it of all interest on the loan
The case is remanded with in
,structions to try it under the rules
laid down. u,

Interest in the Seven Devils.

The Seven Devils copper mines
have again changed hands and are
controlled by syndicate of which
Lucian Eavcs is secretary. A
town site has been selected and a
smelter will be built on Snake
river at the end of the railroad
leading from the mines. Articles
of incorporation were fled in Boise
this week for the company who
are to build the road. The arti-
cles name D. M. White as presi-
dent, Robert Schleicher as vice
president and e. w. caves as sec
rotary. A very wealthy syndicate
is behind the proposition and the
great ore bodies of the Seven Dew
ills will be fully exploited.-Teller

idaho Mines.

There are many reasons for the
belief that, with little effort on
the part of our people, the gold
mining dis tricts of Idaho can be
brought to public attention in a
manner that will lead to large in
vestments here in the future.
In a quiet way some of the min
ing men of the country have been
getting acquainted with the super
ior advantages offered here. From
many districts reports come of new
properties being opened up and of
now men coming from other states
to seek investment. Many prop
critics are under contract for pur-
chase by these visiting investors.
In numerous instances the visitors
have satisfied themselves of the
value of the districts which they
have been investigating and have
arranged for extensive develop
ment of properties they have ia
ken hold of. All of them agree
that the prospects for paying mines
are better in this state than they
have seen elsewhere.
Under these circumstances il
should be an easy matter to turn
the attention of mining men gen
orally to IDAHO, In other states
there has been SO much booming
and so many disappointments have
been experienced that the invest
ors are ready to give their atten-
ton to section that makes Il good
showing without any great blare of
trumpets. Advertising is lcgiti-
mate, and idaho needs it. What
she does not need is that which
she has not INDUCED in-the recll-
less organization of mining COM
panies for the primary purpose of
floating stock wherever people can
be induced to buy. 1t is for
tunate that this spirit has not been
developed here. We have no bad
record to rise up and condemn us,
and if we vigorously proceed with
Legitimate methods we can draw
here the means needed for the de-
velopment of our unexcelled gold
mining territory.

Every year the mining outlook
for this section of the state bright
ems with the seasons development.
Outside capital is very willing to
take hold of the gold producing
properties and as the work con-
tinues the returns give the invest
ors increased confidence. The
whole of the Clearwater and Sal
mon river basins are rich in virgin
placer grounds and undeveloped
quartz lodges. Many prominent
mining men have examined the
various camps of this section and
pronounce them equal lin quality of
ore and extent of veins and lodges
to any of the more exploited min
eral regins now doomed by capt.
talists. What is needed is some
unity of effect on the part of those
owning mining prospects and
properties already partially de-
veloped to set out prospectus of
the Clearwater-Salmon river min
ing belt. If this were done there
is no doub that the present in
crease would be multiplied many
times and some great mining camps
would bring boom times to the
Clearwater country mines-Teller.

Mr.. Issac Horner, proprietor of
the Burton House, Burton, w. Va,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured OF
rheumatism after three years of
suffering. He says: II have not
sufficient command of language to
convey any idea of what | suffered;
my physicians told me that moth
ing could be done for me; and my
friends We're fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve
me ofmy suffering. In June, 1894
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were
swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after
l began using the Pain Balm, the
swelling began to decrease, the
pain to leave, and now / consider

New York, April 5.-While business was
less active today, only 1894 shares
having changed hands, the market was lr-

were generally low, with the greatest
pressure against Jersey Central. This
stock broke nearly three points to T6 IA
and then rallied sharply ON reports that

When il was announced that the directors
had reduced the dividend from to

movement was based partially on the an
