TO RESUME OPERATIONS.
The Eva May Mine VIII he Worked
Again About the First of the
New Year.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.


Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Basin, Dec. 21.-It is understood that
preparations are being made to resume
active mining at the Eva May mine
about the first of the new year. This
property was closed down last August
on account of the low price of silver.
At that time the property had run be-
hind about $1,000. Since that a consid-
cradle amount of development work
has been done. and it is believed now
that the property is again in shape to
pay.
The Hope mine and concentrator will
be sold at sheriffs sale Dec. 81 at which
time L. A. H. Franklins connection
With the property will probably be def
nitely ended. This mine has produced
100000 of wealth and has paid $155. 900
in dividends, and has only been deyel-
oned to the 3o0-foot level. The present
difficulty with the mine is that every
pound of ore in sight has been
"gouged" out while development work
has never been pushed ahead. The Hope
lead is true assure vein With we'll
defined walls. and there is not a mining
man in this district who does not be-

and best paying mines in the state ii

would get hold of IT and open il up to

An INTERESTING CASE
Discovered by Clerk at the
Court House.
INVOLVES TITLE TO LAND
County Auditor Davies Withdraws Sup
port From Mrs. Botsford-Discov-
cred That She Had Property
in Idaho Falls.
INVOLVES TITLE TO LAND

One of the abstract clerks employed
at the court house discovered an inter-
esting case iii looking up the title to
some property in the Leggat & Foster
addition. He traced the title all right
mntil he struck a deed conveying the
property from some man TO woman.
The next transfer was from the same
man to another party and there was no
record to show that the woman, who
previously held title to the property
had ever transferred it or relinquished
title to it. The clerk had to hunt up the
different parties to the various deeds,
and discovered that the man who had
twice sold the same property was a
young white man and that the woman
was a big colored person. He had deed
ed the property to her and subsequently
married her, in which transaction the
colored woman lost her personal and in
dividual identity, and afterwards. as her
husband. the man sold the property
again to another party. his wife join
ing i'm the transfer. Upon the discovery
of these facts the abstract clerk was
enabled to straighten out the title to the
property.
County Auditor Davies has stricken
from the list of poor who have been re-
seiying aid from the county the name
of Mrs. Botsford, who has been receiving
aid for several years. The auditor dis
lowered, on investigating complaints
made by neighbors of Mrs. Botsford,
: that she owns 10 lots in Idaho Falls 1t
was also reported that she had money
in a bank, but that she denied. The
auditor also found that Mrs. Botsford
had made will leaving all her prop
erty and effects to a well-known real
estate agent in Butte In consideration
that he would take care of her during
her last sickness and ship her body to
San Francisco for burial In a lot, in
cemetery. owned by her. The real es-
tate agent was questioned about Mrs.
Botsfords ability to support herself
and got angry and said he would see
that she got along hereafter without aid
from the county. He said her property
at Idaho Falls was worthless.
| new rule has been established by
the deputies in the office of the clerk
of the courts in relation to the issuance
of marriage licenses, and hereafter there

all parties interested and cigars must
be of a recognized brand and paid in
advance. The clerks will probably soon
extend the rule and no licenses will be
issued without an additional fee of such
cigars. For various causes and reasons
many candidates for matrimony are
anxious TO have their licenses kept from
the newspapers. promising a box of
cigars for the extension of the favor.

MUST SHOW CAUSE.
II. W. Thomas Cited to Appear Before
Judge Clancy for Contempt of Court.

L. w. Thomas has been cited into
court next Tuesday by Judge Clancy
to show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt Of court The
citation is the result of the conflict
ing injnnctions issued by Judge Lind
say and Judge Clancy a few days ago.
On the application of I'll. l.. Haupt
Judge Lindsay issued a restraining or
der to prevent Thomas from interfer-
ing with Haupt in his effort to do an
nual representation work on small

made in the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. If men only knew it, these
sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded
than small -pox or yellow fever. The
sneaking disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
disordered and the body receives INSULT
cient or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brstn fag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread DESTROYER, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he IS i'll danger
These sneaking diseases that undermine
a mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DIR. Pierce's

well up to a late hour in the afternoon
but suddenly became unconscious and
had remained so up to a late hour Satur-
day night. The city physician was I'M
certain what had caused this mans con-
llition.
