Eastern Mining Expert Talks of the
Deposits,
RICHEST HE EYER saw.


Statesman.
DIR. +. William lime of Chicago,
who is widely known as mining ex-
pert, left this city yesterday for his
home DR.. lime has just returned |
from a visit to the Seven Devils cop
per mines He took back with him
two sacks of ore to be tested. DR.. |
lime came to Idaho for strong east
ern company that is interested in in
copper properties. He is conserva-
tive man and it takes great deal to
enthuse him, but the Seven Devils
did it. DR.. Ihne is unreserved in
his praises of that section, which he
says has the richest and most exten-
sive copper deposits in the world.
"ln my 40 years experience, which
has taken me to every important
mining section in the world except
ing Australia" said Dr. lime, 81
have never seen any thing like 1T
1t was q revelation TO me-.
Continuing, Dr. lime said the cop
per deposits of the Seven Devils av
erages higher percentage of copper
than the Anaconda of Montana, the
Copper Queen of Arizona or even the
copper mines of the Great Lakes
section. While in some cases the
percentage was phenomenally high,
he said the average for the entire
Seven Devils was 10 per cent copper.
Twelve percent is considered q high
average elsewhere for such large de-
posits. In the Anaconda and Cop
per Queen, he said, the average was
about 8 per cent.
Asked as to the eastern capitalists
he represented, DR.. lime, while not
dlvulging their names, said they were
in position to put through most any
enterprise they might decide upon,
and he expressed the belief his re-
port would result in interesting them
in the Seven Devils. The great dIaw-
back to that country was the lack OF
transportation facilities. and before
any company could operate exten
- sivcly there Il railroad would have tc
be built to the mines
"Such a rich country cannot fai
: to attract capital" he continued
: 'and my opinion is that the day il
5 not far distant when railroad viii
i be built into the heart of the Sever
Devils. When that is done that sec
s ton will soon have world wide rep
: utation.

Edgar Loberg was in Weiser this
week. His experience with the Blake
outfit is simply an instance in the
rascally methods pursued by that
crowd. Edgar was working for the
company and owing to the fact that
he sent the SIGNAL q few news items
it became necessary to sever his con-
nection, and he was offered time
check. He asked TO he paid off in
some kind of money. Blake sent
him an order on Oregon Construction
Company. He could not get it cash
ed and 'roared" to Blake, who then
gave check on United States Nation
al Bank, Portland Bank of Wei
ser sent check for collection and it
was dishonored Blake had few
dollars in that bank when the check
was given but drew the funds out be-
fore the check could be presented.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1898-06-16
Delivers Bit of Eioquence.

From the Atlanta [Ga.l Constitution.
One happy effect of the present grave
international crisis has been to raise
the standard of oratory in congress.
Until the prospect of war some few
days ago aroused the latent enthus.
iasm Of our law makers. it seemed as
if oratory had become lost art in the
halls which had once resounded with
the impassioned outbursts of Webster,
Calhoun, Clay, Prentiss, McDuffie,
Hayne. Randolph, Toombs, Hill, Yam
cey and other famous Americans.
But hope begins to revive. With
in the last. few weeks both senators
and representatives. i'll congress have
risen to the heights of real oratory.
Perhaps the most notably achievement
in this line belongs to Congressman
Dolliver, of Iowa, who recently electri-
fed the house of representatives by
his brilliant speech upon the present
crisis. We quote only one paragraph
Said Congressman Dolliver:
"We can not and will not stop to cal.
culate in monev recompense for our
noble ship that lies stranded, broken
and dismantled IN the most Infamous
harbor of all the seas. We will not
calculate with these for the value OF
the lives of our sailors. We will not
hatr IN "A
America, laying down, as fondly be-
lieve and hope, every trace
of partison controversy and dissenSion
in the fear of God, counting all the
cost, will exact from Spain indemnity
/ in full for all the abuses of the past
not the spoil of subjagated provinces
but the emancipation of an oppressed
race; not the ransom of besieged cities
but the creation Of new common
wealth, not the coinage of a bankrupt
treasury, but the nobler satisfaction OF
helping to raise the flag of free Ma
ton, once dishonored, ontlawed and
despised, now clothed with beauty and
with victory, and destined to stanc
guard forever IN tender gratitude above
our unforgotten heroes of the Maine.
Without the least suggestion ofjingo
oism or sentimentality the foregoing
paragraph is full Of dignifed strength
and eloquence' We congratulate Con
gresham Dolliver upon the happy
effect of his speech.
