Otis is OverWorked.

Admiral Dewey in a recent in
terview said that Gen. Otis was
the most overworked man in the
service of the United States in the
Philippine Islands. This was also
the testimony of Col. Jones, of the
Blackfoot News, who commanded
the Idaho troops in the Islands,
upon his return six months ago.
Jesse Rains saw service in the hos
pital department at Manila and
probably saw as much of Gen. Otis
and his methods of work as any
body and he, too, says that Gen.
Otis is overworked to degree
that threatens his health. Gen.
Otis sits at his desk day after day
from daylight to dark attending to
the arduous duties of his position,
and is unwilling that the response
bility should be shared by anyone.
How thoughtless then it is for
stay-at-home editors to keep up
the exasperating fusilade at Gen.
Otis. charging him with incompe-
tency and neglect of duty and de-
manding his recall when he is do
ing his utmost to settle matters
and bring the war to a speedy
close. Give us a rest.

Men and Women p.tro...

There is great difference in men

the fair sex is by no means lost. II
woman is satisfactorily suited she
is apt to be a more valuable and

OFTEN talks about hsr footwear to her

She expatiates on the satisfaction in
style and fit which her shoes, purchased
at ssch and such store, give her. and
she never forgets to mention how At
tentive and obliging the sales people in
the store are. This latter has it's due
effect, and cAe first time her friends ex.
perience, or fancy they do, any lack Of

An Asbestos Exhibit.

Review.
There are many rare and
wonderful things for the visi,
tor to see in the mineral de.
partment of the Exposition.
One could collect from the
well filled shelves a large num-
Der of specimens, curios and
rich ore pieces that would
form the nucleus of a museum
of rare interest. Aside from
the chalcopyrite and the hem
attic, the porphyry and the
quartz, which to those unvers-
ed in mining affairs are to
some extent undressing,
there are exhibits which are
well worth hunting up because
they are rare and worth see
ing and remembering. Here
are some of them:
In the Idaho department
will be found a shelf upon
which are long wisps of gray
ish fiber. They look, before
one gets close to them, like
shriveled tobacco leaves. Clos.
er inspection shows the mater
ial to be asbestos in the extra
long fiber, which is much
sought for and seldom found
in the northwestern mountains.
This comes from the Clear
water district of Idaho, and is
exhibited by Col. Bracket,
the head of the exploring par,
ty which is investigating the
widest wildernesses of the
state. Col. Bracket is in the
city.

We All Want to Know.

In delivering the address of
welcome to Company H at
Pocatello upon their return
from Manila, Ex-senator Fred
/. Dubois among other things
said:
"Great Difference will be
paid to your opinions. You
are familiar with conditions in
the PHILIPPINES. You know the
country and the people. You
have now taken up again the
duties and the responsibilities
of citizenship. What shall we
do with the Philippine Islands
after the Filippinos are SUBJ
dued? Shall we govern them
as a colony? Shall we make
a territory out of them and in.
corporate them into our body
politics, on an equal footing
with Arizona Shall we
stand as their sponsor and
friend, demanding hands off,
from other nations, and aid
them in establishing repub.
lie of their own? Shall we
leave them as we found them
to work out their own saliva
ton in their own way? The
American people are sadly di
vided on these questions.
81 call your attention to the
condition of mind of our PEG
pie, and assure you that you
will have great influence il
guiding the country to the
wisest and best solution. A
great responsibility rests upor
you. If you discharge it il
that lofty and magnifcen
spirit which has so far actual
ed you, you will impose ever
greater obligations on on
grateful people. With an al
hail and as an echo of the sin
cerest sentiment of every Cit
zen of the state, | bid yo1
welcome and wish for vol
every good fortune and happi

An Astonishing Statement.

A recent dispatch from
Washington says: 1t may be
an astonishing statement to
say that the United States
government refuses to accept
gold of its own coinage in ex-
change for silver dollars, but
that is what at least one SUBJ
treasurer is actually doing. A
complaint comes from St.
Louis where the snb-treasurer
declines to exchange silver ex-
cept for silver certificates.
Neither gold nor banknotes
will tempt the white coin from
his vaults. 1t is possible for
the United States treasury to
reach a point where general
order will be issued to all sub.
treasurers forbidding them to
exchange silver dollars for
gold, national banknotes or
any other form of currency ex-
cept silver certificates.
Uncle Sam presents the re-
markable spectacle of trying
to get rid of gold and of hoard
ing silver, all of which is an in
teresting phase of the wave of
prosperity, and of the old cam
paign roorback of three years
ago that there is no demand
for silver.
While the treasury has in
its vaults gold to the enormous
total of S.342 ,69I,o4S, of which
SOFAS 500 is not covered
by gold certificates, and while

B. G. Peters returned from
Agatha Wednesday, where he
had been four days assisting
in starting the cable tramway
of the Lenore warehouses. A
test was made with nine sacks
of wheat in car. One hun.
dred feet above the water the
car started down on the in.
cline cable, reaching the other
side of the river 90 feet above
the water, over the railroad
track many feet and into the
top of the warehouse on this
side thereby saving much
heavy handling. The loaded
car in its passage down pulled
the empty car up and thus
every three minutes more than
a half a ton of grain, without
a particle of extra power, was
ready to load on the cars.

Press that the event Of the week
on Salmon river is the purchase Of
the Mckinley quartz mine, two
and one-half lies this side Of Fid-
die creek, to the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Co., of Cnur ID Alene.
The deal was brought about by the
company's agent, Mr.. Locier, who
has been engaged in an investiga-
ton of the property for some time
past. The consideration is $15,-
600 cash, to be paid as soon as the
papers are made out; which will be
about Monday or Tuesday next
The owners of this property arr

Alkire, who discovered it only
last fall and have since been en-
gagged in exploiting it to the bes
of their ability. 1t is the inten
ton of the new proprietors to pu
on force of 10 men Immediately
and prosecute the work of develop
ment all winter, and if the propo
sition justifies it they will put on
mill this winter aud be ready t
put the mine on a productive basi

there is every indication that tn

TRE CHRISTIE SOLD


Yesterday, too late for the Press
10 announce the fact, the final pay
mept of $50, 900 was made by Nor
man & Cameron of Spokane, to Jas.
Turner on the great Monte Christie
in Buffalo Hump. This property,
as heretofore stated in our columns.
has been under bond to this firm
for some time and there have
been some wonderful strikes made
on it. This valuable property is
ON what is known as Mineral Hill
and lies between the Cliff and the
colorado properties and has al
ways been deemed one Of the best
properties in the entire Hump
country. In his interview with
the Press, Mr.. William Norman
said on September 10, relative TO
this property: ION the Monte
Christie q cross-cut tunnel should
reach the vein in the ensuing five
or six days and I have very little
doubt that similar values which
have heretofore been encountered
will be found on that level. l
made q cold sampliDg of the Monte
Christie in the shaft at depth of
% feet, across four feet, and got
results, it panning well and assay
ing $23 per ton. The hanging
wall is nowhere in sight in the
workings. Such ore as the Monte
Christie can be handled at from
three to five dollars ton, exclus-
i've Of treating the concentrates"
So it will be readily seen that
Mr.. Cameron's interview was
merely forerunner of the results
which have occurred.
When it is known that Mr..
Chas. Sweeney examined this prop
erty personally in company with
William Norman, when he was in
the camp and that Mr.. Sweeney is
interested in the property with
Messrs. Norman & Cameron, it
merely goes to show that the Buff
falo Hump camp, with all it's dis
advantages such as temporary in
accessibility, which, by the way,
has been lessened greatly now that
the new road is almost completed,
is a mining camp second to none
in the great northwest.
The Press has made it point to
say nothing heretofore relative to
the Big Buffalo deal, as far as its
latest developments are concerned,
but now we feel justified in saying
that it was one of the best argu-
ments in favor of the camp that
Chas. Sweeney, after making a
thorough and exhaustive examina.
ton of the property made another
offer for this valuable group and
one of the greatest arguments in
favor of the property was that the
greater portion of his offer was fol
cash. To be sure, it is to be re.
GREETED that Mr.. Sweeney did moi
obtain possession of the property
but nevertheless it silences all fur
ther argument regarding the rich
ness Of the Buffalo Hump camp
for Chas. Sweeney, who is second
to none in the west as judge Of
mining property, waited in Grange
vile for week to negotiate fol
this group and because he was MOI
successful was due to the owners
or rather one of the owners, not tt
the richness of the property.
The Monte Christie sale is mere
ly one of many which are about tt
be consumated, for the San Fran
cisco sale is practically concluded
and the purchasers are merely
waiting for a few minor details tt
be attended to and the final pay
ment will be made.
