LAVA FIELDS OF IDAHO.
An Interesting Study For the Scien-
fist and Geologist.

The lava fields and districts of Idaho
if they have been the subject of CON
siderable research, have been but very
little written about Their extent
says an Idaho exchange, is quite un-
known. and the causes which produced
them don't appear to have been very
generally advertised. The traveller and
tourist see hundreds of square miles of
black molten rock and sand, and it is
doubtful If they ever make a note of
it in their sketch books. In the imme-
date vicinity of the charred, burned
mass that has its track so miles in
length, the indications are that in an
age not far distant there was a grand
volcanic disturbance in which a vast
chain of mountains was burned up and
leVelsd to the condition Of a plain. II
is a great field for the geologist, the
chemical expert and the all-round sci
entific student. We would like to hear
of their coming to make this section Of
our country a study. The country bor-
dering this lava belt has been mined
for years, for its precious metals. and
the lava plainly suggests the appear
ance of an immense Stag dump. As
metals and heavier substances settle to
the bottom when everything is in a
fused state. our visitors might con-
for gold and siirer bullion. AS copper
ores are quite notable feature of the
region. there is no doubt but what the
great lava plains are copper-bottomed
This dual conclusion will not prevail
with the practical miner. nevertheless
it is in line with quite all the theories
touching chemical and volcanic action.
A couple of years ago several old min
ers from Lava mining district visited
the old district of SprinS mountain
Lemhi county. They expressed sur
prise in finding certain formation con-
ditions existing as encountered in the
lava region when they came. On the
summit of the ridge. where what is
known as the Lost river trail crosses /
from Spring mountain, they traced the
border line of the volcanic belt having
its bed in the great plain to the west
and southwark. The locations that had
been made aud worked for years by the |
old and nearly forgotten Spring Noun |

nels of these locations wide seams and !

chief architects OF the trans Mississippi
exposition that all construction work viii

large buildings are nearly ready for the

building. On the latter the staff work is
nearly done and the dome is receiving the
finishing touches. The concessioraires
are pushing construction work rapidly as
are the various states, 10 of which are
erecting buildings. a telegram from
Albany says the empire state has made
an ample appropriation which viii enable

Failures of Incompetents.

A late instance of the result of in
experienced mining management con-
nected with a Nevada placer mining
enterprise is pretty well known to
many mining men in the west, says the
Denver Mining Industry. A certain
placer property in Nevada was floated
in New York by a pretentious broker
age firm with offices in the Brown Pal
ace hotel in Denver, more noted for it's
town lot booming schemes than for ac-
curacy in its statements, in which New
York parties invested over $40s, 900. 1t
was reported on by a capable expert
from Colorado, and the New York COM
pany sent out as manager for the prop
erty young college graduate who was
wholly without actual mining expert
ence. He built bitches on the hillsides
which the rains and the melting SHOWS
washed away He set giants to work
in such way that they wrought de-
Struction instead of producing profits,
and the whole thing was a failure.
simply on account of Acknowledgement
There is good evidence that the project
was meritOrious. but, of course the eX-
pert who reported on the property is
blamed for the failure. The blame
rests in other directions. The idea of
having incompetentS try to carry out
the recommendations of competent ex-
perts so often reflects injuriously on
the latter that many good engineers
now refuse to examine and report upon
properties which they have reason to
believe are good unless they first know
whether the management will be ca
pable if the property is purchased or
leased, as the case may be. In these
days of not infrequent mining sales
there is an apparent perfect riot of old
time idiocy by mine buyers in the way
of appointing inexperienced managers.

1t is learned that the leasers at the
Crescent property are cleaning up and
preparing to quit, as their lease is
about to expire. If they do quit it is
because they cannot renew their lease,
and if they cannot renew, it is certainly
because Mr.. Herkimer and his asso-

themselves. Important developments
regarding this property may be looked
for at any time now.

Washington. April 3-The Washington
annual meeting of the American Tract
society was held tonight in the New
York avenue Presbyterian church, Rev.
Wallace Radcliffe, d. D., pastor. Rev.
Judson Swift, field secretary at New
York. presented a brief report of the
societys work. The society publishes
evangelical truth in 15S languages and
dialects and the total number of volumes
that has been published in all languages
at New York is nearly 36.OO0,O0O. The total
number of books and tracts is about 5OO.-
coo. 900. and the total number of periodicals
upward of 251, 100000.
Hundreds of Sunday schools have been
organized and religious meetings held in
log cabins, school houses and in the open
air. The whole number of family visits
since the society began its work has been
nearly 100000. and the number of
families prayed. or conversed with on the
subject of religion amounts to $500 coo.
The society has continued to publish its
periodicals during the year in both Eng
fish and German. A large number of
books and tracts have also been pub
lished. a considerable falling off in do
nations and legacies has necesstated
large decrease in the force of colporteurs
and also in the grants to work in the

ards. who recently came in from
Stateline, furnishes a Record rep.
resentative with the following new:
items concerning the camp:
Some dissatisfaction among the mine
owners concerning the management. OF
the mill during the absence of Manager
Popkees resulted in the closing of the
mines from which the ore was being
milled, and a temporary run was made
on a small batch Of custom ore from
Rome Hicks. It is believed, however,
that all viii be amicabIy arranged upon
the return of FIR. Popkees.
At the Ophir mine, a, half interest of
which is bonded by the Stateline Gold
Mining d Milling company, ore is being
sacked for shipment, and three loads
were started for Salt Lake on the 18th
ult. The Ophir mine is principally a
silver proposition, and its ores cannot
be successfully treated by the Stateline
mill. This mine, which has paid its own
way right down from the grass roots.
is looking better than ever before, and
is a most valuable property.
No ore is being taken from the Gold
Belt at present, although considerable
dead" work is being done. A new
tunnel is being run below the old one
TO intersect the ore chute at a greater
depth. The Gold Belt is one of the
good properties and is one Of the COM
ing producers.
Higbee, Drake & Nugent have made
a rich strike two or three miles south
of Deer Lodge. An assay of $133 gold
and seven ounces silver has been OBJ
tanned.
1t is Il fact worthy of note that every
claim in Stateline district has improved
with development. The ores of the
district are usually of high grade. and
are without doubt destined to make
Stateline one of the greatest camps of
The state All the mines on which
work is being done are looking better
than ever before.
The population is steadily increasing
and new cabins and buildings are con-
stantIy going up. Mr.. Bast has opened
up a new store in the largest building
the camp can boast, and has a large
ard complete stock of goods.
