ANTI-GAMBLING BILL FIGHT
Has Been the Leading Feature of the Past
Few Days.

Boise, Jan. 81, Correspondence
New bills galore have been introduced
in both branches of the legislature
during the past week, but little or no
progress has been made in any i'm
portant measure. The pace cut out
in the first few weeks was too hot to
last and the members are taking it
easy. The anti gambling bill which
passed the house with plenty of votes
to spare, is having harder time in
the senate but, in spite Of deter
mined opposition, it is steadily max
ing ground. On yesterday it came
up on second reading and was adopted
section by section, bitterly fought by
the full force of the opposition. Sen
ator Smith of Washington county,
evidently is under the impression that
gambling is great civilizing and ed
ucating medium and said in the gen
eral debate over the first section: 81
am opposed TO this bill because ii
will starye out our schools and rob
our children of an education. No
vote of mine will ever 90 for this
bill or any oher bill that is arrayed
against our school interests. So we
may look for the introduction by the
Washingto County senator of ga
bill' for an act to provide for the
teaching of the rudiments of faro
and how to buck the tiger, in our pri-
mary schools; to institute u course OF
poker and the science of blui1ing in
the curriculum OF our high scho i, and
for other purposes
The votes taken show that Bulge,
Brigham, Church, Carey, Easton,
Gooding, Hegstead, Mulliner, Nc
Murrin, Price and Stacy are in favor
of the bill and that Ainsley, Baily,
Hays, Hooper, Lippincott, Melon
aid, Smith, Wright and Watts are
\ against it. The bill will be up foi
hdnal action next week and will prob
Ably pass.

lows:

Miscellaneous Work in Progress in
the Great Copper District.
FLATTERING DEVELOPMENTS
A Bear Creek Resident Sends Resume Of
Some Present Opereticns

A glance at the doings on Bear
and Indian creeks from the divide
between the two:
The mine nearest us is the Great
Eastern, owned by Arthur David, an
oldtimer in these regions. The work
on the Great Eastern Commonly
called the French Ledge is develops
ing some large bodies Of high grade
ore. For the past week work has
been progressing on an ore face the
full width of the tunnel, and which
runs from one half to four ounces
in gold and from trace to g four per
cent copper. This ore contains .
high per cent Of iron so much desired
for huxing. 1t is a first class con-
centrating ore and the principal
beauty is the large bodies in sight.
Mr. David has not been idle during
the past years here, although, like
all prospectors, he has had to fight
for sufficient finances to get bacon
and beans with. Notwilhstandina
this, he has done about IS, 600 worth
of work on the French ledge and
considerable work on other claims
lie owns
The Placer Basin group is under
development and there has lately
been erected there hoist which as.
sists in crowding the development.
Mr.. Ford informs us that develop-
ments are more lattering than antic.
ipated, and should things continue to
improve he will, in the early spring,
put in the necessary equipment for
reducing the ores, which will imme.
diately put one dividend payer in
sight at Seven Devils.
Looking westward we see the
steady work at the Blue Jacket and
Decorah groups. Supt lreton is
pushing work on the Decorah tunnel
with tire shifts His company has
u lease on this group and are devel-
oping the properties in good shape.
Mr.. S. G Jones is putting force
Of men on the extension of the De-
corah east. He intends to develop
this property as fast rs is practical
ble 1t is quite an undertaking ut
present, owing to the deep snow.
The Blue jacket people are push
ing work under contract, four men
working night and day shifts We
were lately informed that ore was
being encountered in the tunnel, which
no doubt will be welcome news to the
company.
Cuprum is lively for mountain
town. Mr.. Alers informs us that the
Peacock has richer ore and looks bet
, ter than ever.
The Vaughn Bros men have 45-
IT. cross cut, all in use. Should de-
velopments continue to improve the
showing, thirty days more work will
put more ore in sight than was ever
done with the same work in any dis
trict
Dame Rumor says several we'd
: dings are in sight in our camp. AL
right, come on weddings, but we
must have a piece Of cake before our
pencil can do justice 20 a wedding in
