We were mistaken last week in
saying that Charley Beckman's 3
new house would be a story-and-a
half. It will be u full two-story,
and one Of the best residences in
the county. Only the best ma
terial is being use |, and no expense
is being spared to make it in all
respects one Of the incest homes
in the county.
Mrs. Frances E. Berry has just
brought suit against the Mutual
Reserve Fund Life Association,
for $4,000. The plaintiff is the
widow and ben sticiary of Reuben
Berry. Mr.. and Mrs. Berry will
be remembered as old pioneers of
Elbert county, they were well
known and highly respected by
all old settlers here. Mr.. Berry
died March 4th last and the COM
pany has failed TO pay his insurance
though all premiums and expenses
had been paid as required.

Bad News From Manila.

Gen. Otis has cabled the war de-
partment from Manila that he
must have 10000 more troops at
once, besides 10000 or $4,000
more to maintain garrisons in the
towns as they are captured. Or
ders have been sent from Washing
ton to the several recruiting sta
tons throughout the country to
enlist an unlimited number of men
for service in the Philippines.
Unusual precautions are taken
by the war departmel to keep the
messages of Gen. Otis from the
public; and what with the censor
ship in the Islands and the secrecy
maintained at Washington it is
hard to know the exact situation Of
affairs. Even the casualtylists are
held up for a day or two before be-
ing made public. Gen. Hall on
service in the Philippines, writes
that the end of the war is long
way off. The sudden reticence OF
the government concerning news
from the Philippines bodies no
good, as good news is never sup
pressed. and bad news is bad
enough when it must be disclosed.

The Boom in Copper.

The Boom in Copper.
The present very high price
h copper is having the effect
hat might be expected. In all
he Rocky mountain states the
newspapers are full of accounts
y newly discovered copper
properties. This is true of
idaho, Utah, Colorado and
Washington in particular.
|The prospector, like every one
|else, is governed by the doc
trine of supply and demand.
When silver was struck down
in 1873, he went into the
mountains and searched for
GOLD and almost ignored the
white metal, with the result
| that the mines of Republic and
Buffalo Hump and other new
districts were discovered and
brought to the attention of the
world. Now with copper al
most at 20 cents a pound the
prospector and the mining man
generally is turning his atten-
ton to looking for copper
leads. Heretofore the mining
| Of that metal has usually been
considered rich mans game
and one that the person of
small means had little business
with, as construction of plants
for the reduction Of copper ore
are expensive in the extreme.
The prospector finds today,
however, that if he can find
anything that looks like a good
copper proposition, he can cas-
lily interest capital in it. That
is, the middle man who gener,
ally comes between the pros
pector and the capitalist, IS
willing to consider mining
schemes that have copper in
them. Just now it is a com.
mon thing to hear of new dis
coveries of so-called copper
leads, but like all such finds
time alone will develop the
fact, whether they are of any
permanent value. There are
not many permanent copper
camps in the United States and
the important ones can be
counted on the fingers of one
hand. In many portions of
Idaho and Montana traces of
copper are frequently found.
In times past the prospector
has not paid a great deal of
attention to such indications,
not sufficient generally to fol-
low them up. In these days,
however, it is different and the
prospector who finds rocks
carrying copper brings it to
town with the result that a
new copper zone is at once re-
ported to have been discovered
and the possibilities of the fu-
lure are considerably enlarged
upon.
Some of the eastern papers
oel'eve that the present price
OF copper will result in a great.

properties Pr This may be true.

Affairs In C@ur d'Aiene.
State Auditor Sinclair stated
to the Boise Statesman that
the situation in the north is
now very good. There was
nothing new for him to report.
He said, however, that atten.
ton should be called to the
fact that there is absolute safe,
ty for miners who wish to go
to work in the mines there.
Any miner can get work and
he will be as safe in the enjoy.
ment of his personal rights as
he would be in Boise.
MIR. Sinclair stated there was
a surplus of unskilled labor
there. This fact was at the
foundation of the report that
men were being turned away
by the shift bosses. Mr.. Sin.
clair said he had personally in.
vestigated that statement and
had satisfied himself it was un.
founded. The only men who
had been turned away were
unskilled laborers who could
not be given employment.
Miners offering to go to work
have been put on and treated
properly in every instance. /.
Speaking Of the preparations
for the trials, Mr.. Sinclair
said that Messrs. Borah, Haw.
ley and Forney had their
coats off and were working
with great zeal. There is a
wide field for them to go over,
but they are coming into pos
session of a great mass of i'm.
portant testimony. The evi.
dence that will be bought out
by the state, Mr.. Sinclair said,
is of such a characterathat a
large number OF convictions is
assured: 1t is clear and con.
vincing and it is reasonably
certain that as many as half a
dozen of the men guilty OF
murder will be convicted. T.,
Too much credit, he said,
cannot be given DIR. France
the coroner. If the entire
country had been searched for
a man for that place it would
have been impossible to secure
a better one.
In the excavating for the M
& NJ. general merchandise
building the remains of an an
cient prehistoric race was dis.
covered. The skeletons were
found at a depth of about &c
feet in the bank. From gen.
eral appearance one would sup.
pose that the family of some
noted chieftain had been in.
tered here, as the relics were
of a highly ornamented and
decorated style. Among the
relics were tables Of stone with
hieroglyphics inscribed upon
them, which are beyond a
doubt the history of this
ancient family and deeds OF
valor upon some olden battle.
field. They also found some
wampum and a curiously con-
structed tomahawk. The old.
est Indians of this section have
no idea whatever of the mean.
ing of the tables of stone
