EXCITEMENT
IN IDAHO OYER
GOLD STRIKE
Two Veins of Rich Quartz
Discovered on Badger
Creek.
THREATS OF MINERS
Seize the Iron Dieke Copper Mine
for Back Pay and May
Blow It Up.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ROISE Idaho. July 30.-One of the
biggest quartz discoveries in the his
tory of the State has been made on
Badger Creek, which empties into the
Boise River, about three miles this side
of Twin Springs. The discovery was
made by a prospectOr named FRANK
Bryant at a point on the creek three
miles from it's mouth. News of the
strike reached Boise yesterday evening
and created distinct sensation IN min
ing circles. A large number of people
at once struck out for the scene of the
new discovery and others will go to-
day.
It is understood that R. K. Anderson,
manager of the Twin Springs Com
pany has taken option on thirteen OF
the claims for his company, which en-
braces the best locations. He has had
ten assays made which run all the way
from $50 to $133 a ton. One pound OF
ore from the original discovery yielded
$50 in gold.
miles from Boise. By this time
swarm of people, who heard the news
here last night, are on the ground.
The important discovery covers two
veins, which are about teet wide at
the surface and only 500 teet apart
running east and west.
In the south vein gold prednminates,
and from it the most of the samples
were taken for assay. In the north
vein silver predominates, but 1T also
carries large percentage of lead. The
assays show an average value of 20 per
cent lead and so ounces OF silver to the
ton 1t is the gold vein, however, that
caused the sensation.
News from the Seven Devils is to the
effect that the Iron Dieke mine, belong
ing to the Northwest Copper Company,
has shut down with it's employees in
possession. For three months there
has not been a payday and the men
employed in the mine concluded to take
possession of the property until such
time as they would see the color of
some pay.
Two guards were placed over the
property in the day and two at night.
For an extra precaution the men drill
ed a hole in some rock near the mine
and loaded it with powder. This they
intend to touch off if any attempt is
made by the management to regain
possession of the mine as a signal to
the rest to fall into line. A clash is ex-
pected any time.

ASBURY PARK, n. J., July 30
John S. Durham, former Minister to
Hayti and Charge d'Affaires at San
Domingo, when seen at his home last
night said:
1t is moment in the affairs Of San
Domingo when the United States must
act with great tact in treating with
the educated leaders in their efforts to
establish an orderly government Any
thing looking like interference with
government on the part Of the
United States, however, would be bit
terly resented.

AN ATTACK
MADE By THE
INSURGENTS
Filipinos Make an Unsuc-
cessful Attempt to Re-
capture Calamba.
THEIR MOVE FAILS
Seek to Confuse Americans by Ad-
vancing From Two Directions,
but Are Easily Repulsed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MANILA, July 30.-The insurgents
made an unsuccessful attempt this
morning to recapture the town of Cal
amba, on the shore of Laguna de Bal,
which the forces of General Hall cap
tured last Wednesday afternoon. The
rebels numbered 2400 men. The attack
was made simultaneously from the
north and south, the Filipinos appa-
rently thinking they would confuse the
Americans by attacking from two
points at once.
1t was not even necessary to employ
the whole American force to drive the
Filipinos off. Two companies of the
Twenty-first Infantry, a squadron of
cavalry and one gun sufficed to repulse
the attack from the north, while the
400 men of the Washington Regiment,
comprising a part of Halls command
and a detachment of cavalry, drove off
the rebels who had advanced from the
south.
The loss of the insurgents is not
known. The American loss was one
killed and seven wounded. Despite the
condition of the country, caused by the
recent rains, the enemy is active.
The Signal Corps has laid cable
across Laguna de Bal from Calamba
to Taguig. This gives direct cOmmuni-
cation with Manila. Taguig being con-
nected with the capital by land lines.

SITUATION CRITICAL
Assassins Make an Attempt to
Seize the Body Of the Late
President HeureauX,
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KINGSTON. Jamaica, July 30.-A
private cable dispatch received here by
way of Cape Haytien reports that the
revolution in San Domingo is pro-
crossing favorably. The dispatch says
that the real reason for the detention
of President Heureauxs body at Santi-
ago was that the country between San
tiago and Porto Plata is occupied by
the insurgents, who. abandoning their
plan of occupying Moca as a base of
operations, are concentrating to attack
Porto Plata, which is feebly garri-
sOned.
Great excitement prevails owing to
the fact that the Government has not
been able to ascertain the extent Of
the ramifications of the revolution,
which is growing demoralized through
the death Of the President.
In the event of the revolution sue
ceeding, according to the private cable
gram it is probable that Jiminez and
Jitones. the reputed leaders of the revo-
luton, will agree to retire, offering the
Presidency TO Maxine Gomez, who
would prove acceptable to all parties
A deputation, it is reported. is going
to Cuba to confer with General Gomez.
EGl1 "A Ia oan domingo, july
30.-The situation is critical An out
break is momentarily expected. The
friends of the Government are under
arms and ready for action to protect
property and peace. A feeble attempt
was made to seize the body of Presi-
dent Heureaux by the assassins, Ramon
Caceres, Manuel Caceres. HOracio Vas
quez and Domingo Pichardo who are
in the country about Moca. with their
followers.
The burial of President Heureaux
was conducted with fitting honors Gov
ernOr Pepin has assembled troops in

has 1000 men. The Minister of the
Treasury has arrived at Moca in hot
haste. The Government is taking steps
for the protection Of the business and

STILL SAYS THE YOUTH
ARE OVEREDUCATED
Huntington Explains His San Fran
cisco Speech to the Industrial
Commission.

CHICAGO, July CA special to the
Chronicle from Greenville, Tenn, says:
Coils P Huntington has written a letter
to Judge V. w. Grubbs. chairman of the
State committee of the Industrial Com
mission, explaining his recent speech at
San Francisco, wherein he said the youth
of the country were being overeducated.
Mr.. Huntington says that education is
not harmful in itself, but the generality
of young men spend too many of perhaps
the most valuable years of their life in the
schoolroom. The mass of boys, he de-
clares. by carrying their education be-
yond the point required to enable them
to cope with the practical details of bust
ness gain a positive distaste, for labor
that does not come under the head gen
teel." and as a result young men are
crowding into poorly paid places. where
they do not have to soil their hands or do
manual labor, and good chances for pro-
motion go begging in many cases.
This condition of things, he says, is Gu
rious, and must be explained before the
present system of educating young men in
this country can be called successful.
