Stanley Basin.
idaho WORLDLY

Henry johnson and Elder
Smith returned last Sunday from
a trip through Central Idaho.
Elder informed as that some
important discoveries were made
in Stanley Basin last year, and
are being worked this summer
on small scale. The ore of the
Lodges is hard. white porphyry.
On one of the lodges four or five
holes have been sunk and the
deepest is not over twenty feet.
Sixteen feet of ore has been op-
ened and one wall has not been
reached. The ledge is composed
of veins varying from six inches
to a foot wide, and very small
openings between these veins is
filled with loose material, which
the owners seive. The fine ma
terial they pack on their backs
half mile, rock it and make
good wages. The owners say
the gold is evenly distributed
through the ledge and will mill
about $14 a ton. One hundred
yards distant from this ledge is
another, also porphyry, which is
25 feet wide. At the surface the
ore will run $4 a ton, and at the
depth of,30 feet it increases in
value to S14 per ton.
Mr.. Challis, in whose honor
the town of Challis was named,
owns valuable placer ground in
Stanley Basin. This year he
made SIS day to the man while
the water lasted, but the water
season was short. Capitalists
have been there this summer ex-
amining the ground and it is
probable that a sale will be
made. The price asked is $15,-
600.
They also informed us that a
good strike was made this sum-
mer on Jordan creek, near Bon
anza. The ledge is large and
carries good grade of gold ore.
Elder reports game and fish
abundant in all the country
through which they travelled.

A company has taken hold of
the Dye mine on Jordan creek

Of the rock through Stems mill.
Ii the ore proves satisfactory

clothing and Chas. Waller lap
robe. Harry Tolman and VIM.
Bonner while on their way in
from Bear valley met one of the
robbers whom they identified as
Jack Mitchell, and the saddle he
was riding as Mr.. Dunn's. AS
soon as Mr.. Dunn heard which
road the thief had taken he got
out warrant for the arrest of
Mitchell and sent Chas. Waller
after him. Waller has not re-
turned yet. Mitchell is said to
be an escaped convict from the
San Quentin prison of California.
The Lucky Boy Co. have had
two saddles stolen within the

A Final Word as to Lightnlns Rsas.

A Final Word ms to LightnlnH Reils.
We had intended that Inst week should
close the Enterprises anti-lightning rod
crusade, but as tie rod agents used Inst
weeks 1imes-R Republican to advocate
the alleged merits Of their business, we
have a final word this week. What the
Enterprise has claimed is that tho expers
fence of many years has proven that the
danger from lightning is 30 infinitesimal.
ly small that it is not good business pol.
icy to spend money to try to prevent it.
This position is unassailably correct, no
matter il few level.headed, successful
business men have been persuaded into
giving orders. Successful business men
sometimes make business mistakes.
This is proven by the fact that after
many years Of signal business success
many men have reverses. Crhese revers-
es OF fortune come to some men from
business mistakes and to others from
such widespread disasters MS the panic
OF '93, which brought financial ruin to
thousands through no fault of their own.)
As a business proposition, an invest.
ment in lightning rod can not be de-
Tended. But We do not question the
right Of any well-to.do citizen to spend
his money as he pleases. The Enter
prise has not sought to dictate to any.
body-only to state the facts.
The citizen who "has the price" and
wants to ornament his home with II light
ming rod, can do so and tbs, Enterprise
will ma ke no kick. "a whsle our
country homes are not as slightly rs In
the older eastern states and little orna-
mentation is desirable. But let this ad-
dition to the home be called by tho right
name-beauty, not protection.
1t has been intimated that the Enter
prise is being "nosey"-,s attending to
other peoples bnsiness-w it tells the
facts about the lightning rod business.
1t is certainly the legitimate province OF
n newspaper to acquaint the people with
the true inwardness OF all schemes the
object OF which is to get money without
giving fair returns.

the genius, and all the ambition in the
world are worthless. A boy should be
taught that success in any walk of life, that
happiness. and life itself, are dependent
upon his care of his health.
When a man feels that he Is losing his
health and vigor, when his cheeks no long
CT glow, his step is no longer elastic and
the sparkle of health is no longer in his
eyes, he should work less rest more and
resort to the right remedy to restore his

Pueblo's Pageant of States
and Nations.

Pueblo scored another succuss
in her patriotic celebration on the
Fourth. The three days celebra-
ton attracted a large attendance
from all southern Colorado. The
4th was the big day of the trio of
celebrations.
Three miles of most beautiful
displays started down Grand ave-
nue. promptly at ten o'clock and it
took 55 minutes to pass given
point. In every way the parade
showed a great improvement over
last year; there were as many
floats and they all displayed more
artistic taste than was exhibited
at the first pageant. Other feat.
ures, not enjoyed last year, were
the bands and displays from out
side cities. The grand stand was
crowded and it was an enthusiastic
crowd and all the divisions of the
parade were cheered as they
passed.
There was much rivalry between
the various states as to which
should have the handsomest float
and the result was remarkably
fine display, description of which
our space will not allow.
