BOLD BURGLARY AT JENNEY'S


Last Sunday evening about 10
O'Clock some person or persons broke
into b NJ Jenneys jewelry store on
Second street and stole As watches,
some diamonds and many other valu-
able articles, worth between $500 and
5000 Many of the watches taken
were watches that had been left wit h
him for repairs.
The burglars had eviden tIy plan
ned the theft, Mr. Jenney and his
son being in attendance at the ball
game IN Huntington that day, and
the burglary took place before the
train arrived in the evening. In
fact it was done about the time when
many of our citizens had gone to the
depot to meet tue returning sojourn-
ers at Huntington and very few peo-
pie were on our streets
The loss is heavy one for Mr.,
Jenney and the thieves have not yet
been apprehended or the goods re-
covered.

ANOTHER BRITISH DISASTER
English Lose 400 Men and Six Guns Gen.
Joubert Dead,

: The victorious reign of General
Butler in the alleged subdued Free
State has been interrupted with an
other serious disaster almost at the
gates Of Bloemfontein. Col. Broad
wood on March 30th marched out
fourteen miles from the city to pro
tect the city waterworks, which were
threatened by the enemy. He ran
into Boer ambuscade with the re-
suit that he lost over 400 men,
killed, wounded and missing, and
six pieces of artillery. The Beers
have cut off the water supply of
Bloemfontein and communications
with Kimberly have been cut several
times, in fact, numerous bodies of
Beers in the rear of the English to
harass supply trains, are putting a
serious aspect on Buffers situation.
Latest statistics show that, up to
date, the English have had 20, 600
men killed, wounded, taken prison
ers and otherwise rendered hars de
combat The English have also lost
Is, 600 horses and cattle, killed and
captured by the Beers.
Gen. Joubert, commander genera
of the Transvaal forces, died last
Tuesday, of stomach trouble He
had been suffering for some time,
but his death came wholly unexpect-
ed, and there is mourning everywhere
in the Transvaal for the untiring pat
roit, for the upright noble defender
of the republic, who has done SC
much for his country. In the deatl
of Gen Joubert the Boer govern
ment has suffered great loss, anC
his place will be hard to fill
General Louis Botha will succeed
Jouhert as commander of the Trans
vaal army Botha is the hero o

Blue Jacket VIII At Once Employ
Fifty Ore Teams.
GOOD SEASON FOR THE DEVILS
This Year VIII Permit Operation of Many
Heretofore Unproductive Properties.

Frank j French, superintendent
of the Blue Jacket Mines, goes to
Seven Devils this week to arrange
for steady shipment of ore during
the entire season Fifty teams will
at once be secured to transport the
product of the mines to Cam bridge
and they will be kept steadily at
work. This gives an opportunity
for any one with an idle team to put
1t at work. A force of twenty five
men has been working all winter in
the Blue jacket, but Mr.. French
will at once increase the force.
There is no reason why a number
of mines should not become shippers
this season. The field is clear for
many of the poorer property holders
to handle their ore to some advant-
age and get some returns. The
isolation which has heretofore made
it impossible for the mine owners
without capital to ship at a profit is
fast being removed, and with the
certainty of tue p. & l.. N. road
being put through to Council at an
early date, those having 20 per cent
ore, and upwards, will fiud that they
can ship and make a little money.
Investigation shows that 20 per cent
ore will yield profit under present
conditions, after shippiIg g and reduc-
ing. With the road to Council there
will be but 40 mile wagon haul,
which can be made tor about $S pei
ton, from Council 10 Salt Lake a
rate can probably be secured of about
$11; and the cost of reduction at
Salt Lake will be $9-a total cost of
$27 per ton for shipping and treat
ing. A ton of 20 per cent copper
one will yield 400 pounds of copper,
at the present price of IL cents ;
pound, worth $62, and as all Sever
Devils ores carry about So per ton il
gold and silver, the total returns viii
be $67 per ton, less S27 leaves $4(
for the mining and profit. Man,
their claims at that figure and maxi
the district large producer. Be
sides there will no doubt be ore buy
ers in the camp to take the outpu
at the mine and save the owner tn
trouble of shipping

late as desired to any individual who
will when desired agree to report re-

ARRANGING MILLING PLANT


A directors meeting Of the Thunder
Mountain Consolidated Gold Mines,
Limited, was held Tuesday evening
in Weiser, and much important busi
ness was transacted preparatory to the
active seasons work of putting a
milling plant at the mines. The
first payment has been made upon
the property, and the, Caswells have
signified their intention to take stock
in the company for the greater part
of the purchase price. Demands
for stock are coming to the company
every day, and the most eager are
men entirely familiar with the prop
erty. Its value has long been known
here, but it was too big thing for
individuals to handle The company
now has abundant money on hand to
push operations.
Thunder Mountain will soon take it's
place among the mining notorieties
of the world. At home and abroad
it is noted for its pile of gold bear
ing rock, and while it is known that
the corporation controlling it has the
bulk of all the mountain contains,
or more than dozen claims of some
twenty acres EACH yet there is cx
pected such u rush for what may re-
main as was never before seen to the
gold fields of Idaho TO those ac-
quainted with mining properties it is
easy to make showing of values
based upon measurements or magnl-
tude To say certain claim has a
length Of 1000 feet, width Of 500
feet, and depth of 25O, and all
carrying gold bearing rock milling
$S. 80 per ton, is sufficient they
would at once be impressed with its
enormity But to the other class,
figures as follows would be more
plain:
Length Of lode, feet (conseryatve) M 1000
Width Of lode. feet (coDseryative) $50. 500
Depth, feet (known from exposure) 80. 2oO
Total IN cubic feet lbo 900 900
Estimating 10 cubic feet to the ton
gives in sight and ready to mill 10000 900
Valued at ~ 80 per ton gives the enor- -
nous sum of.......,...............s ssb.O Oo0o0
1t is generally supposed that mines
are not open to certain estimates as
above indicated, and this is generally
true of mining ventures, but when
the body of ore is exposed, lays as
it were without over burden, the
measurements and values are much
open to demonstration as a field of
wheat or bin of grain, the market
price Of the grain being known
This paper has before stated that the
Caswell gold lode in Thunder Noun
tain was about to outdo the most
celebrated mines in the world, and if
the above figures are true, as there is
every reason to believe them to be,
Idaho can soon claim one of the
greatest gold mines in the world, and
the Thunder Mountain Consoli-
dated Gold Mines, Limited, own
ing and operating it. the largest
corporation on the Pacific coast
This fact may be better realized
when it is also stated that the above
, figures are based upon but one Of its
many valuable claims which take in
the entire mountain where the ledge
is found and the water rights and
placer grounds adjacent, formed by
, the gold washed from its mammoth
e pile.
