MI. Miles S. Johnson makes
some timely suggestions i'll this
issue Of the Teller on the subject
OF free homes on the NeZ Perce
reservation. This paper is the
pioneer advocate of this policy.
The Teller took up the cause of
the hnmcsteadcr when il was con-
sidert d for.orn hope by even the
Idaho delegation in Congress.
The advice came back from Wash.
ington that the principle had no
standing in government councils.
Tha, condition has changed. The
bill has been passed by one branch
OF congress and it was defeated in
the other, not upon its merits, but
by trickery, which kept ii from
coming to a vote. This question
is timely one. Congress meets
i'll December and the routine work
will run over such measures MANY
months. This question should
therefore be urged with energy to be
sure that it does not go by default
again. 1t is a question Of vital
Importance to every commercial
interest of the state. The saving
OF the purchase price of five
hundred homesteads at SAYS an
acre viii make many prosperous
years for all branches of business.
The payment of this large sum
will impoverish a rich community.
The blight will be felt all over the
the northwest, and it will no, end in
a decade. 1t will entail debts to the
amount of million dollars upon
the reservation district. 1t will
send two millions out of the country
and impede the commerce of the
whole northwest by withdrawing
this wealth from active trade. Ii
will impede the development OF
every resource of the country more
than the failure of a crop.

official Paper OF NeZ Perez County,
Ready for the Boom.

Without reason the public has
been waiting for the results OF the
winters development OF Buffalo
camp and the mines Of that region
The result is even better than the
most saugulne of the interested
parties hoped TO discover to the
world. Not only the particular
mines 10 which attention was di-
rected early in the year have de-
veioped additional values. but new
mines aud even new districts have
been added to the resources OF our
inc ior. The Big Buffalo mine
winch gave promise OF being the
greatest mine in the world. has
surprised those even who expected
20 much. This property is now
developed to depth Of seventy feet
aud the ore has not deterioratetl.
The bottom Of the shaft showed the
richest ore ever tested from the
claim during It's notable history.
SO grand has been the showing in
the small shaft being sunk on the
big ledge that the holders Of the
bond. on which q s25 900 payment
is to be made June Ist, have made
no effort to find what might be in
the balance OF the deposit.
The company which owns the
Big Buffalo also owns the Jumbo.
This property has been we'll devel-
oped. Last week. however a force
OF men was put to work extending
a working tunnel This is posi-
tive evidence Of active operations
being continued indefinitely. The
Badger mill will be put to work on
the Jumbo. II will be greatly en-
larged as soon as tie roads are op.
ened TO the camp.
Instead Of one great mine on
which fate, in the minds of the
most skeptical, was suspended, we
have dozen which promise to sur.
pa the mark fixed for one. II
Lewision's future at any time de.
pended upon Buffalo Hump, tina,
future Is not only assured. but out
prospects have been multiplied by
the development of Mallick, Clear.

which did not even enter into the
plans of the indifferent or the hopes
OF the earnest friends of Lewiston
three months ago. The most timitl
only hoped for one Buffalo Hump.
aud behold, they Buffalo Humps
