In veins, seldom less tina, two -
more often four to five inches wide
formed OF closely compacted paral,
iel ,oers, which run from wall IN
wall OF the vein without breat ~ ~
lault. The grain is very fine. and
even In the rough state the fibers
are singularly distinct. several
VEINS are found, always in regular
extent, and the fiber always lies at
right angles to the sides of the de.
post. The inclosing rock is dark
brown shale. The fibres are some
what elastic, and easy separable bv
the fingers. The character of the
rock varies considerably. some
places are soft and some hard. the
better quality asbestos occurs in
the hard rock. Its color is a pecu-
mar lavender-blue, and is caused
by the large proportion of protox-
ide OF iron it contains. Its comno.
s'tlon is given as: Silica, 81. i:
protoxide OF iron, 1913; soda, 90:
magnesia, 2.3; water, SO.
The present output is over 100
tons per month, and there is. an
parently, unlimited capacity for
development and increased turn
out as the demand for it increases.
Native labor is emploved nndar
European supervision. Very little
skilled labor is required, the mining
being mostly surface work, or by
shallow adits driven in the sides OF
the hills. The smallness of the
cost at which the article is obtained
forms a striking feature, being only
S24 per ton of 1000 lbs. :
1t has most of the qualities OF
white asbestos. 1t is uninfamma-
bic, heat-proof. and unaffected by
atmospheric influences, and is a
non-conducting material. 1t is
stronger than the ordinary ashes
tos. In cobbing it breaks away
from the matrix rock with a clean
fracture, and without any frag-
ments of the latter adharing. 1t is
a most efficient covering for pre-
venting loss Of heat and condcnsa-
ton, and consequently in econo-
MIXING fuel.

Vaudeville Theatre.

From Mondays daily.
There will be a grand opening of
the Palace theatre and concert hall
tonight. A number of talented
vaudeville artists have been en-
gagged and a fine orchestra, under
the leadership of Prof. Tucker of
Moscow. There will be a change
of program twice a week, and en-
tirely new features will be present
ed every two weeks. This is an
enterprise that should fill a long
felt want in Grangeville.

CLEARWATER COUNTRY
A Canadian Gives His impress.
sions Of this Great Vallev

SpOsS - ss'sS OI0oI valley.
~. L., in Spokesman Review.
When the late Horace Greeley
advised the young men to 90 west
he gave good and wholesome adj.
vice, and although it was given
years ago, there are still MANY
golden opportunities here which
never did or will exist in the east
l have found that here the hand Of
friendship is cordially extended to
the stranger, that if he wishes to
hustle he will get q show for his
alley as well as the old resident.
This is, I think, largely due to the
absence of that exclusiyeness So
prevalent elsewhere.
After q brief sojourn in Spokane
/ went to Lewiston, thence out on
the Nez Perces reservation, where
the noble red man in all his glory
owns nearly all the desirable spots
Probably it is safe to say that the
Great Oliver of all good never be-
slowed fruitfulness with such a
lavish hand on any part Of this ter
restrial kingdom as he has on this
favored land. The farmer, or
rancher, as he is here called, has
only to tickle the hills with an an
tiquated pillow and they laugh hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat. But to my mind it is
doubtful if the Idaho farmer is
wise in his day or generation.
Mixed farming would be a sure
thing compared with wheat only,
for if the crop is failure, or prices
60 back on him, as he now runs his
farm, che goes broke"
I have actually seen farmers who
worked 500 to 800 acres of land
buying at country stores, butter,
eggs and bacon, all of which they
should sell instead of purchase. Of
course if they produced those COM
modities they would have to live
on their farms-something which
many of them do not do-they stay
there for a few weeks during the
seeding and harvest and live the
remainder of the year in the neigh
boring villages, towns or cities.
While such course is not in the
farmers best interests, it certainly
il a good thing for the townpeople,
for the Idaho farmer spends his
money like q king, and his way
of doing things is making bustling
little business centers possible,
which under other circumstances
would not exist.
Chief among these are Agatha
and Willola, ON the Clearwater
river, through which the Northern
Pacific railway is building road
and the o. r. & N. has one sur
veyed. Agatha, formerly known
as evans Ferry" is on the north
side-a busy little town, with three
general stores, two restaurants, a
livery, and the headquarters of the
Northern Pacific construction and
engineering corps. Willola, it's
rival on the south side of the river,
is a healthy infant less than a
month old, which gives promise of
being the largest and best business
center ON the Clearwater. In fact,
it is the only place along the river
where mother nature has pushed
back the hills far enough to give
room for a large city, without sea-
ling the mountain. Already the
new town has general store, a
blacksmith shop, two large grain
warehouses, lumber yard, a build
ing contractor, real estate agent
and a civil engineer.

Clearwater Claims.

Assayer Murray made a trip to
the Clearwater country Sunday and
took a large number of samples
from the St. Patrick claim for as
say. The results will be known
tomorrow. He makes an exceed
ingly favorable report upon the
Grass Roots, Gold Blend and Gold
Stone claims across the other side
of the river from the st. Patrick.
The theory is that the same ledge
extends clear across under the
water.
"Old Bill" the old horse which
carried to Fort Lapwai the news
Of the Indian outbreak in these
parts in June, 1877, is still alive AT
the ranch of d. A. McKinlay, near
Cottonwood. The old fellow went
all through the war and came out
without a scratch. He was 10
wears old at the time OF the out
break and is now turning gray and
quite deaf, and ought to be pen.
stoned for the rest of his natural
life.
The Goan boys have traded their
livery barn and stock at Mt. Idaho
to Irwin Rothwell & McChesney
Williams for one-sixth interest IN
the Dewey mine on the south fork
Clearwater.

In An Address. Charge the Dominant
Party with Insiscerity.
Washington, Dec. 19.-After the pas
sage yesterday by the house of the
financial bill the Silver Republican
leaders In the city held a meeting and
adopted an address ITO the members OF
the Republican party who still believe
in bimetallism." setting forth their
views as to Its effect. The address
declares that the passage Of the bill
without the opposition of single Re-
publican vote marks the elimination
Of policy long and carefully pursued
by certain influences in control Of the
leadership Of the Republican party and
justifies the action of the men who In
1896 refused to remain in that organic
alton after the adoption of the st.
Louis platform.
The address declares that frank
announcement for the gold standard
In the st. Louis platform, or straight
forward Interpretation Of it by the Re
publican candidate for president az
meaning the gold standard, and moth
ing else, would have elected Mr. Bryan
" al oSCt WhCAuiA6 AAoJoANJ' hS
address concludes:
THE scheme we denounced in 1895
is nearing consummation. The policy
that was denied by the Republican
party in that campaign stands now
confessed. Millions of you who voted
the Republican ticket in 1896 would
not have done SO had you believed
your party destined so soon to be the
agent Of the forces that now dominate
it. Millions of you were bimetallists
in 1896 and remain so today. Now
that your country is about to be
handed over to the ownership and con-
troll of the great speculative banks and
their associated trusts and combina-
tions, may we not appeal to you to
come to the rescue of the liberties OF
the people and their imperiled institu-

New Madrid, Mo-, Dec. 19.-The
steamer City Of Kansas of the Tennes-
see River Packet company, burned to
the waters edge early yesterday morn
ing while lying at the foot of Maine
street. Several hundred bales OF cot
ton, considerable freight and baggage
was destroyed. The total loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. All the passengers
and most of the crew were asleep.
They were quickly awakened and all
gained the shore in safety just in time
to escape the flames. Some had been
awakened so suddenly that they had
not time to dress. They wore moth
ing but their night dresses, and were
shoeless and hatless. A number OF
passengers on the opposite side Of the
boat jumped into the water to escape
the flames. Fortunately the water was
not deep there, and they waded ashore
safely.
