The state auditor is of the opin-
ion that the counties affected by
the Bunting bank failure will have
to be sued for the amount due the
state, get judgment and then man.
damus the commissioners to make
a levy to liquidate the Judgment.
The counties are responsible to the
state and the county treasurers are
responsible on their bonds to the
respective counties. In each case
Mr.. Bunting was the principal
bondsman and it is said it would
bankrupt all the others to make
the loss good. The auditor is al
so of the opinion that the state
should sue Latah county for the
amount due from ex-Treasurer
Hattabaugh, $4,000. The last
legislature authorized the governor,
attorney general and auditor to
compromise this claim but the
Statesman says it may be deter
mined to enforce payment in full.

Mining Outlook In Warren.
Florence Miner.

Florence Miner.
J. A. Myers and N. Fitzwilliams
arrived from Warren last Satur-
day, on their way to Lewiston.
These gentlemen report promis-
ing outlook for Warren and predict
that the camp will enjoy greater
prosperity this summer than it has
since the bonanza days of placer
mining. Samples of rich ore from
several properties were brought by
Mr.. Ftzwilliams and are now on
exhibition at II. Hamlin's.
Foremost in the list of quartz
mines is the Little Giant, owned
by George Riebold and Harry
Schieler, which has been steady
producer for many years. The
ore in this mine is exceedingly
rich, specimen sent by the own
ers to the Columbian exposition
was awarded the first premium for
richness over competitors from all
parts of the world. At present
drifts are being run east and west
on the ore body from bottom Of
shaft 100 feet below tunnel. The
vein has increased from four inches
near the surface to 10 inches al
present level. The property is
equipped with a 5-stamp mill,
steam hoist, pump, etc, and 9
plant for operating air drills has
been ordered and will soon be
placed on the ground. 1t is nc
exaggeration to say that the Little
Giant is to-day one of the best
! mining properties in Idaho.

worked next summer. This mine
was discovered and worked in the
early days, when miners were paid
Sc per day and everything else was
high in proportion. The mine was
after varying degrees, of success
and failure, abandoned. Mr.. E. b.
True was superintendent at the
time, and knowing the value of
the property, realized that with
lower wages and general reduction
of expenses following the advent of
cheaper transportation the mine
would prove a dividend-payer
Consequently he in company with
N. Heckathorn, of Wood River,
relocated it some time ago, and
the work since done proves that
Mr.. True's judgment was correct,
a rich body of ore being exposed
with every evidence of perman-
ency.
The lola, owned by Patterson
Bros. and l.. johnson, is another
property of unusual promise. This
mine with the aid of a small aras-
ira and with very limited supply
of water, has paid all expenses of
development and furnished means
for working other claims owned by
same parties, besides vast amount
of rich ore opened up ready for
extraction.
Near the Little Giant is located
the Goodenough owned by Messrs.
Czizek g. Moffat, but now under
bond to Boston capital. This
property is developed by tunnel
521 feet long and about $50 feet of
upraises, showing the ledge to be
of an average width of II inches
A 25-ton mill test yielded S64 per
ton. Chutes have been but in
place and all preparations made
for active work as soon as the
snow is gone.
Among the more recent discover
les is the Red Jacket, owned by
Messrs. Myers & Blake, ON Summit
Flat. The vein has been traced
long distance on surface, and
further explored by 50-foot shaft
and drift II feet long which
shows well defined vein 5 fee
wide, assays from which yield al
average of about $50 per ton. The
owners are naturally elated a
their good fortune, and are max

work on a large scale.

The Chicago Times Herald saws

| An attempt will be made to break the
strike that exists in the northern Illinois
district, and 800 skilled celestins have
been picked from New York They will
all bear arms, live inside Gatling gun
equipped stockade and be body guarded
by 100 former Chicago police.
An agent of the Chinese Six Companies
was in Chicago last week and made "a
contract with the Wilmington Coal Com
pany to deliver 800 Cinnamon at the mines
of the Wilmington Rraidwood district
The first consignment of 200 will arrive
next Tuesday and the others will be on
hand as soon MS provisions can be made
TO take care of them. Arrangements for
an additional 1000 Chinese miners have
been made conditional on the success of
the first adventure. Elaborate prepare
lions have been completed to take care of
the first 800 Cinnamon and give them am.
pie protection.
II American workmen will not fight
over that, they deserve the fate
mapped out for them by the plutes.
The protected aristocrats would like
to see the American population re-
duced to the six million people who
through tariff legislation and silver
decentralization are now enabled to
own 81 per cent of the whole wealth
of the country, width the balance
made up of meek foreign paupers.
The country would then present the
aspect of six million reputable cili-
zens reveling IN all the wealth of the
country, an aristocracy of dollars
that could then enact laws creating
titles; the remaining 20 millions be-
ing human animal toiIers who. for
their keep, created the wealth, per-

the means to luxury on which the
Goldfish aristocracy sat afloat. That

leading. The common, everyday

from Huntington Idaho Statesman
The Statesman can always find
plenty Of news about "Baker City
Gold Fields" and other Oregon
points; and the fact that its telescope
is elevated beyond Idaho and con
stantly scrutinizing the Oregon Dor
der is probably the reason that it al
ways sees Huntington and Snake
river in any reference it incidentally
makes (Which is seldom) regarding
Idaho mining interests in Washing
ton county, and invariably gets them
tackled on the tail end Any state
ments originating from reliable
sources in this county are invisible to
the Statesman, but Oregon news is
voraciously siezed on, and only such
Washington county mining affairs as
have the post mark of the Oregon
channel has standing with the Idaho
daily.
The plan to use the Snake river as
medium to prevent the successful
opening OF the Seven Devils camp
and keep it out of the copper mar
kets of the world has been used with
good effect in the past by the agents
of the copper syndicate and Montana
parties, and the present may see the
operation repeated The Statesman
is probably unaware that the 'sSnake

thorouhhly exposed as fraud of the
first water, and without attempt al
defence on the part of those promot-
ing the swinCle. The Statesman has
certainly never heard of these
charges, because if it had it is GER
