Flattering Prospects for the Gold
Mines Of Northern Idaho.

Flattertng Prospects for the Cold
Mines Of Northern Idaho.
Walla Walla Statesman.
A. F. Parker is in the city today
en- route to Boise City to attend q
meeting of the Board of Regents of
the University of Idaho, Of which
he is a member. He reports the
Camas prairie country as being on
the high road to prosperity, with
great gold quartz camps in pro-
cess Of development in Elk City,
Florence and Pierce City. Large
amounts of capital are being in
vested in that country, particular
ly in Florence and Elk City. These
well-known old time placer camps
yielded millions of treasure in the
early days, and for many years af-
ter the practical exhaustion of the
placer gold they remained dormant,
abandoned, save for few deter
mined prospectors who have per-
sistently sought for the source of
the placer gold. In the last four
years development work has been
done ON the quartz veins to such
an extent as to justify the hope
that large and permanent quartz
camps will arise out of the ruins of
the old abandoned placer fields.
In Florence the veins, while
usually small, are very rich. On
some claims a depth of 200 feet has
been reached, showing in every in
stance the same general character
of rich ore. Already several COM
panies have been organized with a
capitalization of a million dollars
each to operate in that resurrected
Ell Dorado of Northern Idaho. In
Elk City the veins are larger and
Of lower grade Of ore, and if the
expectation of the investors in that
camp are realized it will make
another Grass valley.
Brother Aaron is himself heavily
interested in group of ten claims
ON Relief creek, eight miles south
of Elk City, on which he and his
associates have been doing devel-
opment work for the past ten years
and in which they have expended
nearly twenty thousand dollars
and proved up a property worth
several times that sum. In few
months more they hope to under
cut sufficient ore to justify the
erection of a large milling plant
and begin to realize handsomely
on their past expenditures.
A number Of Butte people are
also doing extensive development
work improving claims on Big
creek, new camp discovered last
year, eight miles east of Buffalo
Hump. An expenditure of &c.,
600 has put in sight $50, 900 worth
of ore ON these claims. Eight
miles further east is the old placer
camp of Dixie, where very strong
lodges Of gold-bearing quartz are
being opened up with Aattering re-
suits. Fully 100000 worth of
quartz milling machinery will be
shipped into these several camps
this summer, and it is only a ques-
ton OF time until old Idaho county
eclipses her past achievements in
the way of pro lucing gold ship

TO RELIEVE HIS BRAIN.
Successful Operation on the Skull of
an Idiotic Baby.

Philadelphia, Jan. IA remarkably
successful example of the operation
known as linear craniatomy, to relieve
the pressure of the skull, has been per
formed by DR.. E. w. Holmes at the
Methodist Episcopal hospital upon a
Is months old boy.
The child's brain was cramped by too
sudden Justification of the brain cover
ing, which means that it would have
grown to be an idiot. Five months ago
the baby was taken to the Methodist
hospital and DR.. Holmes removed from
the right side of the skull a section of
bone about the length of a mans fin
ger and about as wide.
The little patient rallied and grew
perceptibly brighter, gaining better use
of its limbs especially upon the right
side of the body.
A few days ago a second operation
was performed, when DIR. Holmes re-
moved similar section of bone from
the left side of the skull. The baby has
rallied splendidly from the last opera
ton, and now smiles, INDUCES in baby
talk and shows other signs of infantile
intelligence

A WOMAN IN POLITICS.
Gov. Blacks Military Secretary's Ap-
pointment Dictated.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1.-THE appoint
nent of George c. Treadwell of this
city as military secretary by Gov. Black
is said to be due to the influence of so
ciety women, and this particular APP
pointment, it is declared, has been die
tated by one of the fair sex.
Mr.. TreadwelFs candidacy developed
after other names had been suggested
to the governor. He was supported by
William Barnes, Jr., who is not only
the political leader of Albany, but who
aSpires to be the social leader. The
governor was not disposed at first to
accede to Mr.. Barnes request. Mr..
Barnes talked, of course, about his
great pull with Plat which is undis-
puted, and about his warm support of
the organization in his newspaper. He
even went so far as to tell the governor
that his prestige as a leader in Albany
depended upon this appointment being
made.
None of these things moved the gov
ernor until the influence of the gentler
sex was brought to bear. Then Mr..
Black calamity surrendered.
