Smallpox at Lewiston.

There was rumor about the
city today that the city of Lewis
ton had been quarantined. So the
PRESS wired to the Lewiston Trib-
une to ascertain the truth or falsity
of the rumor, and found that it
was a canard pure and simple; for
as Il matter of fact the authorities
of that city have the trouble well
in hand and have taken every pre-
caution to avoid the spread of the
dread disease, and purely as pre-
cautionary measure have closed
down the schools, but this was not
absolutely necessary, and is deem
ed a hasty proceeding by many,
the exigencies of the occasion not
calling for such stringent measures
so they think.

AFFAIRS ON RAPID RIVER
Copper King Concentration Started Up
Goal Mines to be Developed.

Nj. E. Baltimore was up
from Rapid river yesterday
where he is interested in the
Copper King group of mines
! We learn that he is employing
IL men on his properties and
that they now have every
thing in readiness to start up
the concentrator which they
have been erecting for some
time past in order to test the
values of the ores. The gen.
tlemen associated with Mr..
Baltimore have done large
amount of development work
on the Copper King group and
are thoroughly well pleased
with the present showing and
enthusiastic for the future OF
the property. The concen.
traitor was ready to start at
the time of Mr.. Gallimore's
departure, but it was found
that the water wheel was not
large enough to run the plant,
so improvements were made
and by this time the concen-
traitor is running.
Mr.. Baltimore also states
that the coal mines discover
ed in that section this summer
are improving in value as they
are opened up, and that one of
the three partners interested
in the ownership thereof, has
just gone back to South Da-
kota for the purpose of get.
ting three miners who are &C.
customed to working and de-
veloping coal mines, to return
with him to work on the coal
property. They are expect
ed to arrive in about a month,
and will Immediately go to
work to prove the property.
The discovery of paying
coal mines in this county will
be highly important factor
in the development of the dor
mant resources of this great
county, because it means an
adequate supply of fuel and
coke for smelling and general
refining purposes, to say
nothing of its Importance in
furnishing fuel for general man
ufacturing purposes. 1t is a
fact not generally known that
the smelters of Butte, Mon
tana, employ more laborers
than all the great mines of that
great camp, and should these
newly discovered coal mines
on Rapid river materialize in
to profitable propositions it
will enable smelters and re-
duction and refining works to
be erected and operated in this
county and treating our ores
at home instead of shipping
them to outside points for
treatment.
Idaho county is a veritable
mine OF vast mineral wealth,
and the one thing we are short
OF at present is the one item of
coal. Our ores are of such
variety that fluxing ores of all
kinds are available within reas.
enable distance, and Rapid
river has its own supply of
lime and other necessary ad.
juncts for the successful opera.
ton of a big smelling plant
The proposed extension of the
+. y |. N. railroad down the
Salmon river will be a mighty
factor iii the development of
this county, and we are not
unfalthful to our own Camas |
Prairie when we make the
statement that the construct.
ion OF this road will be even
more important in the way of
bringing wealth and popula.
ton here than even the exten.

RESUME OF THE SITUATION
One Who Knows Whereof He Speaks
Writes Interestedly Of Our
Progress.

With the progress Of time,
the vast undeveloped resourc.
es OF the state and county OF
Idaho are gradually being
brought to the light of day
and the attention OF labor and
capital directed thereto. 10.
calities' which a few weeks
ago, as Buffalo Hump, Mar
shall lake, Rapid river, and
the lately discovered lmnaha
country on Snake river were
entirely unknown, are spring
ing up and rapidly rising into
no ninence. The existence
f rich ores in all these locali-
tics, it is true, has been known
for many years, but the per
iod Of development may be
said to actually commence
with this year Of grace.
TO our mind, derived from
personal knowledge and ex-
perience of the country where
the new discoveries exist in
the lmnaha region, they mark
but the beginning OF other and
equally important discoveries
in the near future when the
section becomes more closely
prospected. Prior to our ar
rival in Northern Idaho in
1850 our mining operations
covered both sides of the big
Snake river canyon, both on
the Idaho and Oregon side,
and il is an actual fact that
the whole length of this vast
canyon is known to be rich in
minerals, and whenever pros.
pectors have worked intelli.
gently and industriously they
have everywhere been well re.
compressed for their labers.
Mines have been worked for
years successfully atlhe south.

yon from its beginning at
Horseshoe bend, 20 miles be.
low Weisers from Burnt and
Powder.riv as far down as
travelling has been possible;
but the difficulty of transpor.
iation, owing to the roughness
Of the country, and the utter
absence of roads and trails
have prevented much faithful
work from being done in the
past. The celebrated gold
nine of Connor creek, in Bak-
n county, has turned out its
hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually ever since we
nave known it. On the Idaho
tide are the copper silver de.
oosits of Mineral and Ruth.
BURG districts, which until the
all of silver were the scene of
lctive operations. Lower
Town is the famous Seven Dev.
Is district, showing the most
remarkable surface deposits of
copper that the world can
BOAST, not even excepting the
amous mines of Chill, and We
lave seen them at their best.
The geological formation of
his wonderful canyon is every
hing that can be desired for
'ase and precious metals, be.
ng limestone, granite, syenite,
and slate.
And now that attention has
'een attracted to that long
section, we may |
ook forward with the utmost |
ontidence to the assurance
hat the army of irrepressible
rospectors and discoveries
will soon open communication
Nth their brethren further
outh. That this will ultimate.
eventuate in a railroad down

ill be long delayed if the

W|CH|TACATTLEM MEN
Asked to Join in the Boycott
of Kansas City.
OKLAHOMA ALSO MAD
About the Quarantine of Kan
SaS and Missouri.

The cattlemen of southwest Kansas and
Oklahoma are organizing against the Kan
sas City market. C. L. Swartz, a cattle
man of Hazelton, Kan. whose ranches are
both in Kansas and Oklahoma, was in
Wichita yesterday to see the cattlemen
here in the interest Of the boycott. He
said that it was now practically as cheap
to ship TO Chicago as TO Kansas City and
a good deal less bothersome. especially
if a Kansas man had cattle in Oklahoma
which he wanted to ship to Kansas City.
I'VE expect TO throw thirty thousand
head Of cattle per month away from Kan
sas City,. ne said. THE way it is now
we've got TO get our cattle inspected in
Kansas and pay for it, and as soon sa
we get across the Missouri line we've got
to have them inspected again, and it costs
time and money, when there is neither
sense nor justice in the plan" Mr.. Swartz
said that a number of cattlemen were in
terested in the boycott. The plan. he said
was to run cattle shipments through to
Chicago, Omaha and st. Louis. The yard
age charges in Chicago was cut two dol
lars per head last week, too, which is in
favor Of the boycott on Kansas City.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the livestock board of Oklahoma Mon
day:
Whereas, In the opinion Of the live
stock sanitary board of the territory Of
Oklahoma, all contagious or infectious
diseases of a malignant character, es-
pecially disease known as southern cat
tie fever. has been eradicated from the
counties of Oklahoma, Logan and that
portion of Noble county not included in
the Ponca, Otoe and Missouri Indian res
ervations, It IS therefore ordered that no
cattle in that pjortion Of Oklahoma lying
south and east Of said counties shall be
permitted to enter that part Of Okaho-
ma lying north and west of the eastern
boundary line of said counties hereinbe-
fore mentioned.
Cattle that have been located within
said counties in Oklahoma since January
l. 1899, II upon examination by a live
stock inspector of this territory or by an
inspector of the United States bureau of
animal industry if found free from sple-
netic or southern cattle fever and not
infested with the southern cattle tick
(Boophilus bovis) shall be admitted to the
counties north and west of the counties
above mentioned in this territory without
restriction.
provided, however: l. That said cattle
shall be rounded up and placed in an en-
closure where the examination can be
thorough and sufficient.
80. That no such examination shall be
made and no permit shall be issued for
said cattle until they are ready for i'm
mediate shipment or movement"
