MINES OF HORSESHOE BEND.
Many Large Lodges of Rich Gold Ore in
That Section.

Arthur Neal. the veteran prospector
and miner is in from Horse Shoe
Bend, where he operated during the
past season. He has been working the
Kaintuck claim under --Esd. This
of them is twenty feet in width. This
wide vein has from twelve to fourteen
feet of ore, Mr.. Neal states, that goes
from $40 to SIS a ton in gold.
The property is about half way be-
tween Marsh and Horse Shoe Bend.
There are many good veins in that vi
entity. Nj. Neal states that II is one
of the best districts he has ever worked
in. The lodges are large on the sur
face, and II they maintain their size
and grade as depth is gained on them
they will become great mines.
Another point Is that the lodges can
be worked very easily. The properties
are near the river. Wood and climber
can be foated down at small cost.
Wood can be procured for $3.50 cord.
The district can be reached easily at
any season. While so many mining
camps are almost inaccessible during
the winter, this one can be reached as
easily in midwinter as in summer.
The altitude Is not great; there is very
little snow, and the road Is always
good. For these reasons the camp Is u
very desirable one. Other things be-
ing equal II Is better when a camp
can be easily reached. That advantage
is enjoyed by the Horse Shoe Bend
section, and, with its large lodges of
good ore, It should attract n great deal
OF attention.-Boise Statesman.

The Horn Silver is a great mine. and

TO COL0NIZE THE TAIL0RS.
Would Take New York Tailors and Colon
izc Them Elsewhere to Give Others
n Chance.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Baron de
there are too many men and women
employed in the clothing trade in the
eastern side of New York and the
sooner the number is diminished by
starting a colony for them elsewhere
where they can learn different trades
the better 1t will be for all concerned
This was decided upon after much
consideration. There are about 65,000
men and women employed in the DIFF
ferent branches in the clothing trade
in this city. They cannot all make a
living. Because of the great number,
wages hcve been greatly reduced.
Good pay for a weeks work is only SO,
but not many can get work all the
week through. There are so many eager
TO work that three or four days week
Is as long as they are wanted.
1t IL believed that If 40 per cent OF
the tailors can be induced to go else
where where u colony can be started
for them the other 60 per cent can make
n comfortable living
Meyer Schoenfeld leader of the
brotherhood of Tailors, says:
The Idea is very good one. Why,
1 alone could get over 5000 to leave the
city to start a colony where they can
be taught other trades. They ought
to be made tinsmiths, carpenters. paint
ers and the like.
But, before l could be induced to go
into this thing l would have to get a
guaranty that II these men with their
families should consent to go away
they must be supported for at least q
year. If this could be accomplished 1t
would bring the tailoring business to
the level of other trades and there
would be less dissatisfaction and fewer
strikes"
1t Is the intention of the Hirsch as
ISOLATION to start several colonies in
the limits of Greater New York.

POISON IN THE BODY.

four Months After Death It Ia Found In
tho Remains of One of Zanolrs wives.
New York. Dec. 27.--The Herald says:
Three distinct poisons have been dis
covered as q result of chemical an
alysis in the body of the fourth wife
of Charles Zanoli, who collected insur-
ance money on the lives OF at least
seven persons. He is suspected OF be-
ing responsible for some of those
deaths and is now in the Tombs await
ing termination of the tests begun by
Prof Wilthaur. the chemical expert
employed by the district attorney.
The professor has found traces OF ar
senic, mercury and zinc In the parts
of the body of Jennie sumner, Mrs.
Zanoli No 4, given to him 70 analysis.
She died supposedly of fever, last
autumn. The professor does not feel
justified yet in making report that
the death was due to poisoning, for
the presence of arsenic, zinc and mer-
curry might be accounted for as result
of the use of embalming filids by the
undertaken, who prepared the body for
burial. This must be investigated, and
Prof Wilthaur win not complete his
analysis for at least week.
zanol will be brought into court
again this morning. but owing to the
absence of n definite report from the
chemical expert the attorney In all
probability will ask that the prisoner
be again remanded. 1t is the intention
to postpone action in the case until
the findings of Prof. Wilthaur can be
placed in evidence.
Prof. Wilthaur has been working
day, night. Sundays and holidays on
the case. and does not expect to be able
TO make a report for several days.
District Attorney Van Wyck, who
has the Zanoli case in charge, had
long conference with the professor last
night. He called there by appointment
to learn IL possible IL enough progress
had been made in the analysis to fur
nish information on which to base q
more serious charge against Zanon.
He did learn that the three poisonous
substances mentioned had been discov-
cred, but until he had information to
dispel the doubt MS to whether or not
the poisons may have been part of the
embalming fluids used he will not
change the charge standing against
the barber. who had collected so many
life insurance policies.
When the autopsy upon the body of
the fourth Mrs. Zanoli was performed
an examination was made OF the arm
to see IL there were any evidence of any
drug having been administered by hy-
podermic injection. SO far IN could be
found there was no evidence to show
that there had been any poisonous in
lection by that method.
