SEVEN DEVILS OPERATIONS.
Foothold Gained There by Three
Strong Companies.


Albert Kleinschmidt, the Helena,
Mont capitalist who is heavily
interested in the great copper prop
critics of the Seven Devils, was in
Boise City several days this week
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Boise Statesman Mr..
Kleinschmidt gave some highly
important information concerning
present and future operations in
that district. He stated that be
and his associates had leased and
bonded the Peacock mine for 10
years. -. r
The parties holding the lease and
bond are represented by Glass Bros.
of the Basin and Bay State Mining
company that has just erected large
worksin Montana at Basin City.
The capitalists interested in the en-
terprise are among the most sub
stantial of the east. Mr.. Klein
schmidt said the lease was based
on an estimate of 100000 tons Of
ore in sight. The estimate had
been made up from figures furnished
by some of the best experts in the
country.
1t was further stated by Mr..
Kleinschmidt that the company
would first build a railroad to the
mines. They are doing some work,
but their regular operations will be
preceded by the securing of trans
portation facilities. Mr.. Klein
schmidt did not know where the
company contemplated starting its
road but it was his impression it
would start from Huntington.
The company to which Mr.. Klein
schmidt and his partners have sold
the Blue Jacket group is working
80 men. The president of this
company is Mr.. Hillhouse, of the
Metropolitan Trust company of
New York, and another officer is j.
C. Aiken.
The Whitcomb company has pur-
chased the South Peacock, Key and
some other properties outright and
will develop them extensively.
This is the company represented
by w. Thomas Hart, formerly
superintendent of the Binietallic.
who is one of the best known min
ing men in the country. The COM
pany is controlled by people inter-
ested in the Calumet and Hecla.
Continuing, Mr.. Kleinschmidt
said the Northern Pacific would
certainly build into the Seven Devils,
and be thought that Hill would also
build the Great Northern in.
Of the gold resources of the cen
trail portion of the state, he said
they were unequalled. 1t was his
belief that Idaho would prove to
be the greatest gold state in the
Union. With the building Of rail
roads the gold districts would be
opened up and furnish vast
amount of traffic.

EUGENE FIELDS DAUGHTER.
Readings from Her Fathers Poems
TO BE Given TO-Morrow Night.

From present indications tomorrow
nights star course will have the largest
ratio Of season ticket-holders present that
has been in attendance upon any enter
tainment of the season. At noon yester-
day, only ninety seats remained untaken,
and 1t is now certain that Miss Field will
have a most charming audience present
when she appears upon the platform Mon
day night The appearance of this young
lady is not an ordinary event.
Not only will Miss Mary appear in
readings from her fathers POEMS which,
Of itself is sufficient to draw a cultured
audience, but the young lady of herself,
from the very evening that she entered
upon the Lyceum platform, has steadily
forged TO the front, and she is sure TO
win on her own merits. She will GER
tainly be helped by the wonderful reputa-
ton of her father and his numerous
friends
Speaking Of her initial appearance, the
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette, says: THE
children's poet was lovingly remem-
bered last night. a touching tribute
was given to the memory of Eugene
Field and to his daughter, when twenty
little men and women, Of ages from 2 to
years, filed the hands Of the poets
daughter with fragrant VioletS. IN their
hands they carried little wands, from
which hung the letters forming the name
Of Miss Mary French Field. At the ex-
IRENE right stood the tiniest girl, carry
ing the punctuation mark, the period,
which followed the name. The innocent
childishness of the little ones thus doing
homage TO their own poet merited the
applause of the men and women which
rang through the hall.
Miss Field read several Of her fathers
familiar poems, blending pathos and
humor, her Interpretation setting before
her hearers more nearly the homely, but
sweet, pictures Of childhood. Her voice
is sweet and sympathetic, not strong, but
Of a carrying quality, while her presence
holds charm and dignity. She immedi-
ately won the hearts of her audience"
Her reception here will be fitting one,
and the Star Course Committee OF the
Association is TO be congratulated on the
good taste manifested in booking such
u strong attraction.

People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old Chronic" who

treatment and naturally he discourages
them by telling them that their case is

thus a disease that can in every case

who might free themselves OF the trouble
In a few days.

Taken as a whole. this Legislature has
been a Woodworking body. and In the
main its members have been actuated
nv the highest and most unselfish motives,
and if it has fallen short of public ex-
pectaton in its efforts at retrenchment,
the difficulties surrounding this question
must be considered. and the fact that
members Of the Legislature are, after all,
only human beings, and Influenced very
much in the same way as the rest OF
mankind. must be pleaded IN extenuation
Of their shortcomings.
