Lewiston Placer Field.

Lewiston has a local mining excite
ment. The find reported Saturday in the
bridge excavations is regarded as an i'm
portant one. The island has been located
as placer ground and the prospects indi-
cate considerable value.
This island has been often prospected
and located. but the real pay streak was
below sort Of cement gravel hard pau
and the prospectors in the past failed to
reach the required depth necessary to
show the true value.
y company will now be organized and
some scientific methods employed TO work
the big bar on an extensive scale. The
pay streak is the same deposit of black
sand that has been found in many places
in the Lewiston valley. This auriferous
streak underlies a large portion of Vine
land and other sections of land, but in
many places it is from thirty to fifty feet
deep.
In the early days extensive work was
done on this mysterious streak. 1t was
followed for miles up and down the river,
shoveled up in boxes and rockers, and
even drifted upon and spooned out Of
crevice and from around boulders. The
early.day miners often made ten dollars
a day with rockers from this pay streak.
1t is now found to underlie the big low
water island along the city limits, at only
a few feet depth. 1t is estimated that this
island will yield many thousands of dol
lars profit.
This auriferous streak is mystery.
How it could have been deposited for
miles along the river has never been ex-
planned, nor has its source been found
The gold is not the fine fake, rusty gold
that is so extensive. It is easily saved or
ripples or with quicksilver. Wherevei
this streak is found intact it is rich. Much
of the beach gold along the river ha
been deposited by the washing Of thi
streak by the current.

Since Women Vote.

This week while out near the reservoir,
Miss Bertha Turner shot and killed
two coyotes with $3.50 Winchester.
One she killed at distance Of nearly
100 and the other at about 100 yards.
Since women have been granted the
right of suffrage in this state they are
making their presence felt in many ways
They are accused by the fusionists OF
twisting politics in this county all out OF
shape, and now they are turning their
attention to the determination of coyotes
with the same degree of Boise

Buffalo Hump Transfers.

Another big Buffalo Hump deal was
consummsted last week in Spokane. Ezra
Baird, Charles Rice and George Overfeld
returned from Spokane Sunday after
closing the big deal. The price is not
made public but it is for large sum.
The Jumbo claim was the central figure
in the deal This is one Of the great
mines of the camp. 1t has been we'll de-
veloped and the carly promises have been
fulfilled. The mine has a 200 foot tunnel
and depth of something like $50 feet
in its workings. The size Of the ledge
and the values marked it a great mine
without doubt
The Buffalo Hump Development com
pany has secured control Of the property
by this transfer and the development o!
the property will continue all winter.
The Mother Lode and the Louise are
also included in the deal. Lon Smith
and Geo x. Reed are among the lucky
sellers of Buffalo Hump mines.
The De1.ainar people have also secured
property in the hump district during the
past week. Just what they have secured
is kept secret, but they have made
heavy investments aud will spend half ;
million in development next year, Their
plans include stamp mills, concentrator:
and even su,elters iii the end.
The work outlined for next year il
that district will make it the best camp
in the northwest for one year if nothing
more should be revealed than is now it
sight. The biggest lodges and the riches
ore in any camp in the world are in tina
camp already exposed without cost,

Poisonous Properties That Lurk In ths
Honey Maker.
The chemical and toxic properties OF
the poison of the honeypee have been o
subject for long study by a German sci
enlist. DR.. Joseph Zanger. During his
investigation DR.. Zanger employed 90
600 bees. He found that the fresh poison
is clear, like water, Of an acid reaction,
bitter taste and Of a fine aromatic odor.
On e~vaporating and drying ut a tenn
perarure of 100 degrees c~entigrade GAIA
degrees r.. a gummy residue is left. 1t
is soluble in water; with alcohol it
forms an emulsionlike mixture. The
aromatic odor is due to a volatile sub
stance, which disappears on evaporation
and is not poisonous. The poisonous
constituent is not destroyed by short
boiling nor by drying and heating the
residue to 212 degrees +. nor by the di-
luted acids or alkalis.
DIR. Ranger has proved the existence
of formic acid, but he has also proved
that that is not the poisonous principle.
The latter lis an organic base, soluble,
with difficulty, in water, but kept in so.

solution Of the poisonous principle has
any effect, but they act as soworful ir-
ritants ON the mucuons membranes.
His tests made On rabbits and other
animals show that when the poison is
brought in contact with the eye there
follow ~lachrymation, hyperemia. cke-
mosis and croupous membrane or con-
junctiva. The general condition is also
affected; the animals become melan-
choly, take no food, but are very thirsty,
and the urine shows small amounts of
albumen. -Philadelphia Record.

Ice broke the spell.

There is a curious little tale about
Captain Bagot, NJ. p. for South West
moreland, which cannot fail to interest
those superstitiously inclined. 1t is said
that, some generations ago, a witch
cursed Leyens Hall, the scat of Captain
Bagot, and said that there would be no
direct male heir to the estate as long as
the Kent-the river which runs through
the grounds-fowed. Such has indeed
been the case. until IN 1895, when,
owing to the severe frost, the Kent was,
for q time, entirely frozen up, and a few
months afterward Mrs. Bagot presented
her husband with a little boy.-London
