Rocky Bar and Vicinity.
RED WARRIOR, Jan. II, 1898

NED w ARRlOk, Jan. II 1855.
DEAR OLD BULLELIN This section
OF Elmore county has been blessed so
far this winter with remarkably fine
weather. December month was ex-
traordinary for the mountains-about
two-thirds being bright, sun-shiney
days. So far this month some snow
has fall and it is now about two feet
deep. We are now looking forward
to and expect an early spaing, and
anticipate that long-looked-for wave
of prosperity about the fiSt Of May,
unless the present Hanna Congress
demonatizes gold.
Everybody is making preparation
for vigorous summer campaign in
the way of extricating the yellow met
tie from these long dormant deposits.
So far this section--say of q radius
OF 20 miles from Rocky Bar-has been
but very little prospected.
In the early COS the Idaho, Vishnu,
Confederate Star and Gilmore mines
were discovered. They have produced
millions of dollars in gold and am
firm in the opinion that there is more
of the precious mettle in them to-day
than has been taken out. Not one OF
them has been worked or even opened
below water-level with the exception
of the Gilmore. Capital and little
energetic prospecting Is what this
country wants, and could we have one
summer of the needed capital and en-.
ergy we would, in my opinion, have
a Klondike in Gilmore county, and
then not put in all our time talkin 6
about the tar away frozen north.
Nearly all the mines on Red War.
rior hill are being worked this winter
by individual owners or leasers, and
all are making wages.
| At Rocky Bar there is considerable
development work being done by E
G. Towne, who has about 20 men al
work this winter. He is prospecting
some six or eight different mines, in
each of which he has good showing
and will, in my opinion, open up in
the near future some wonderful de-
posits. Mr.. Towne is doing just wha,
this country needs. Had we few
more such mining men this section
would soon come to the front.
Foley Abbott, am told, has just
struck fine body OF ore in the Vishnu
hill.
The Bascom district has some good
mines. Four men are working there
this winter under lease on the Gil
max and Klondike mines, which are
owned by Nicholson & Van Shack
The last report from these mines was
about the 25th of December, at which
time the lessees were doing we'll. They
had two feet of high grade ore and
three or four feet of ore that is worth
about $50 or $40 per ton. These mines
are leased until next May, and the
boys are in good spirits. They expect
to make big cleanup in the spring.
Will write again when the "wave'
comes. HANNAH.

Early Friday morning man
named Frank Richards, from Poca-
tello, cook by occupation, came
hobbling into town in almost a
frozen condition. He entered the
drug store and made known his
condition to w. d. Reynolds, who
administered to his wants the best
he could and then hunted up JUS
tice Swan to have the poor fellow
sent to the hospital. Justice Swan
made the proper order and Richards
was sent to the hospital in sleigh.
After remaining there a half hour
or so the unfortunate man was in
formed that he could not be treated
in Elmore's hospital because he WAS
not resident of the county, and he
was ordered to leave. By this time
bis limbs became very painful, but
he, by great effort, made his way
back to Main street. James Carroll.
observing him and learning his mis-
fortune, invited him into his paint
shop where he had hot fire al
ready going, and upon removing his
shoes his feet were found to be
frozen solid and his legs nearly to
the knees in like condition. Mr..
Carroll placed his feet in basin oil
cold water and applied turpentine
to his legs, which seemed a great
/
relief. Learning that the man had
been turned away from the hospi.
tai, DIR. Swan consulted a number
of our taxpaying citizens, and then
informed the hospital contractor
that if she did not receive and treat
the patient the matter would imme
diately be taken to the courts fol-
settlement, whereupon she relented
and received the man. Monday
he by some means raised sufficien
money TO pay his fare to Boise
and it is said he was only too glac
to avail himself of the opportunit,
to leave. Richards claimed tina
he was lot accustomed to beating
his way on the railroad and pre-
ferred walking to attempt it, ant
that as he could not get shelter O
fire after leaving Glenn's Ferry b
was compelled to walk all night t,
reach this place--a walk that vii
probably cause him the loss of bot
feet if not bis life.

As an advertising medium the
evening paper is commanding it
self to advertisers over the coun-
try more and more every year.
There are reasons for this and the
first and foremost among these
reasons is the one that shows on
the books of merchants-the profit
derived. AS a rule, the women
are the great readers of the adver-
tisements. They have come to
realize that they accomplish a
saving when they take advantage
of the merchants being over
stocked in some line, or when for
financial reasons he diminishes
his stock. 1t is the woman that
notes that Jones is selling GER
tain garment "two pennies cheap
er than Smith," and all these little
matters that the busy life of a
man prevents.
1t is the woman who picks up
the evening paper after the work
of the day is done and reads the
advertisements and counsels with
her husband as to the advisability
of making certain purchases that
she sees noted as bargains in the
advertising columns of the paper.
Home matters are talked in the
light of the evening lamp and not
at the breakfast table, when the
head of the family is swallowing a
hurried breakfast that he may be
able to get to his desk on time,
Nor does the wife pick up the
mornings paper before she has her
mornings work done to read it
over and go out to make purchases
without first talking the matter
over with the husband.
The evening piper is becoming
the paper that has the circulation
and that means that advertising
will pay in its columns. The
world moves and the morning
paper doesn't-that is the secret
and the whole secret of the onward
and upward march of the after
noon medium. Denver Times.

Those who favor the indepen-
dent incorporation of the west
part of town have succeeded in
securing the required number of
petitioners for special election,
and as soon as the surveying is
done, no doubt the commission
ers will call special election
when those interested will decide
the fate of the proposition.
The question should be consid-
cred fairly, and fully investigation
made as to the probable results
that may develop in the future.
Look up the records of towns that
are made up of two or more indie
pendent corporations-Pueblo, for
instance. Such towns will say
that it is an unsatisfactory policy.
The Tribune does not believe
that the majority of the west end
residents will vote to incorporate.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.

Miss Drake, whose father was at ono time United States minister to Ger
 many, IS a Philadelphian, but has been
 residing for some years in Weisbaden,
 Germany. Recently she decided to ra- turn to her native city, but was fearful, the Record says, lest some household effects should suffer damage in transit. She hit upon a plan which was decid- edly novel, although somewhat eXpen- siye. She hired one of the largest fur niture vans to be had in Europe, and in it were packed her household goods under her close and careful supervis ion. Six s.rong horses drew the van from Weisbaden to Hamburg, where the body of the vehicle was lifted from the axles and deposited in the hold Of the German steamship Assyria, which was bound for Philadelphia. Upon the arrival of the Assyria at that port few days ago, Collector Thomas, upon the application of the representatives 1 of Miss Drake detailed Customs In spector Mcguire to take charge Of the
 vehicle. The huge box was set upon wheels once more, and six horses drew 1 it to the South Forty-frst street resi- dence. where it was unloadad under the
 eye Of the inspector. The van will be
 sent back to Hamburg, completing a journey of 6,000 miles
 The Edison Electric Illuminating
 company in New York has sent out a
 circular to it's customers announcing
 a big cut in rates for arc and inean-
 descent electric lighting to private con- suners. The company announces that it has at last succeeded in solving the
 great problem Of manufacturing cleo
 tricity at a basis sufficiently econoni-
 cal to make 1t formidable rival of
 gas for home illuminating. The man. agers also state that electricity for long
