MINING PROSPECTS
TIE SIDING COPPER PROPERTIES
ATTRACTING WIDESPREAD
ATTENTION.
Messrs. Kinnaman and Lynde Say
They Have Interested Outside Cap
ital in Their Prospects-American
Mine Closed Down, But Company
Will Probably Work Elsewhere.

P. e. Kinnaman and w. c. Lynde of
Tie Siding, whose copper prospects are
attracting widespread attention, were
in the city Saturday evening and
brought some more fine specimens Of
ore.
They have started to sink another
shaft about 200 feet from the site of the
/ one which is already down 40 feet.
They are down about 10 or IL feet on
the latter shaft and are working in a
mass of rock described by one Laramie
miner as disintegrated quartzite. 1t is
a light-colored rock, somewhat similar
to limestone, but softer and of finer
grain, and is full Of particles of copper.
No assay has been made Of this ore,
but the lowest estimate made OF its
content is 10 per cent copper and some
silver. The new shaft is about six feet
square and no walls are visible on Ell
ther side, so it is impossible to deter
mine just how wide the vein is.
Messrs. Kinnaman and Lynde said
that a party of men representing them
selves t. be Nebraskans appeared at
the mine Saturday and made them a
proposition which they accepted. The
strangers agree to put in machinery
and furnish labor to develop the prop
for an interest in the claims; and
according to the owners the agree
ment was signed and the men left for
Denver Saturday to secur the neces-
sary men and machinery for the work,
They are Of the opision that the pro-
are Denver mining experts, in
resent themselves to be.
A large number of strangers are at
Tie Siding. investigating the mining
in that vicinity, and it is
more than probable that extensive de-
of the region will result.
AMERICAN MINE CLOSED.
The American mine, near Mountain
Home. in the southern part OF Albany
county. which has been the scene of
extensive operations for the past year
more, was closed down last Friday
and will not be worked again. About
seventy men were employed at the
mine.
The property was owned by eastern
capitalists and it is said they will de-
vote their attention to other mines in
this vicinity. In fact, it was stated to-
day by one who has been prominently
with the work that the men
discharged would not be long idle, as
there was other and better work for
them.
The owners of the American were
unfortunate in their selection of the
first superintendent of the mine, W. c.
Tonkin, who left a very unsavoy repu-
tation behind him, and who, it seems
persistently misrepresented the condi-
tons at the mine and induced the own
ers to proceed with the work when the
prospects would not warrant the ex-
penditure of money.
After he left Laramie, between two
days, Mr.. A. T. Holmes was employed
to superintend the work and after a
careful examination and thorough test
of the workings he came to the conclu-
sion that there would be no sense in
continuing the work. Accordingly, up
on his recommendation, two experts in
the employment of the company we're
sent to the mine and after a thorough
examination they confirmed Mr..
Holmes opinion and the order to shut
down soon followed.

MONDELL is FEELING EASY.

Says Wyoming Republicans Endorse
Course of Their Representatives.
Washington, May 12.-Congressman
Mondell will leave for Wyoming tomor-
row to be in attendance upon the con-
vention of the Wyoming republicans
which will be held at Cheyenne next
Wednesday. Speaking OF the situation
generally in the state, Mr.. Mondell said
the outlook is exceedingly good for re-
publican success. and that the course
OF the Wyoming delegation in congress
is receiving the support of republicans
in general. AS to the delegation to the
national convention, Mr.. Mondell said,
in all probability it would be Senator
Warren, Governor Richards and two
other men outside Of official life. He
said both Senator Clark and himself
had been suggested as delegates, but he
believed if there was anyone else in
the state DESTROYS Of going he should
get out of the way in their favor.

Public Water TroughS.

Why would it not be a good
idea for the village trustees to
erect in growing Grangeyille a
couple of water troughs for the
accommodation of teams from the
country? 1t is true that we have
a creek flowing through the town
but the water is no better than it
should be, and many of our
visitors are new corners who do not
know Of its existence. With our
fine system of water works we can
supply u trough at either end of
town with an abundant supply of
pure cold running water at all
seasons of the year without any
other expense than the cost OF
building the troughs. On some OF
the reservation towns where water
is not to be had at any price there
may be some excuse for not having
public water troughs, but here in
growing Grangevillc we have nc
longer any pretense for withhold
ing water for the use of team
from the country. 1t is little
thing but it has it's influence il
attracting and keeping trade in the
town. In fact we make the sug
gestion at the request of rural
visitors who know the necessity OF
this slight Improvement.

Speaks Well for Idaho.

The report of the secretary OF
state for last year reflects the ac-
tivity that has prevailed through
out the state. There has been a
great increase in the number Of
new interpretations, swelling tn
fees from that source. The total
receipts Of the office for the year
were $4,000, against $1,000 for til"
year of 1898. There were 81 no.
taries public appointed against 53
in 1898. One hundred and forty
six domestic interpretations were
organized, against IS in 1898,
while 30 foreign Incorporation
qualified, against 10 in 1898. OF
the new corporations, 1Ol werr
mining companies, 63 domestic
and 80 foreign. In addition, 30
foreign companies flied designat-
ons of agreement. This makes IA
total of 232 companies authorized
during the year to do business in
the state, which is an increase Of
9Oper cent over the preceding
year.

COLORADO CAPITAL.
Frank Brown Gives Some en-
couraging reports.

Mr. Frank Brown, of Mt. Idaho,
and a member of the firm of Frank
Brown & Co. operating in Grange
vile and Buffalo Hump is much
pleased with the results of his
recent trip through the principal
Colorado camps. Although Mr.
Brown has many friends in Color
ado and his trip was combination
one, uniting business with pleasure
his chief object was the testing Of
Buffalo Hump ores in order to
ascertain the most economical
treatment under the present Cir
cumstances. After visiting Lead
vile, Cripple Creek, Peublo,
Denver, Creede aud other import
ant places and comforting with
prominent mining men, and
submitting his samples to different
tests, Mr.. Brown has concluded
that Buffalo Hump ores as far as
they have been shown with the
present stage of development in
the camp will be milled and the
concentrates shipped. Cyaniding
will not likely be adopted unless
the character OF the ere changes
materially with inor, ased depth.
Mr.. Brown says that Colorado
mining men are watching every
movement being made in mining
way through central idaho, and
that nearly all the big operatives
will have representatives here this
spring. The ultimate transfer OF
the Big Buffalo is awaited in Color
ado as anxiously as here, and will
be a sort Of signal for Colorado
men who have their eyes turned
this way to make q start.

Idaho County Boundaries.

In view OF the fact that the
time is near ut hand when the
county assessor will start up the
work of assessing property for pur-
poses of taxation we deem it advi-
sable to call attention to the fact,
which seems TO be generally over
looked, that the northern bounda-
ry line of Idaho county throws a.
bout 20 miles of the Clearwater
Short line into this county, and
that the same, or u portion there
of, will be subject to taxation in
this baliwick this year.
The northern boundary line
commences at the mouth Of Malo-
ney creek on Salmon river, thence
follows Maloney up to the head Of
Deep creek, thence to the head oil
Willow creek and thence in a
general north-easterly direction
down Lawyers canyon to Kamiah.
From Kamiah the line runs down
the main Clearwater river to the
mouth of Lolo creek, a distance o.
about nine miles, and as three OF
four miles of this distance was
completed before January l, it il
of course subject to taxation for
this year.
The addition of even this smal
mileage will be of great benefit tt
the financial interests OF the count,
and next year we should have al
least 20 more miles added to oul
resources, exclusive of the proper
~ in the new towns on the line O
the road. As railroads are assessed
at So, 600 per mile we ought to add
800, 900 to the total valuation OF
property in the county this yeal
from that source alone.

IDAHO LEADS THE REST.
State Holds Record for Rail-
road Building.

road Building.
The Railway Age, in it's annual
review of the number Of miles OF
road constructed during 1899, gives
Idaho 164. 26 miles. Six different
lines have done the building, and
no account is taken of grades
constructed, the figures simply
relating to the number of miles OF
steel actually laid. 1t is fair to
presume that there was much
more noise made than actual work
done in the happy old state OF
Oregon, which is credited with
only 22.9O miles built by four diff
erent lines. With all its bluster
the state of Washington only built
IS miles of road by the united
efforts of four lines. Montana
does not make much ia showing
with "a miles and Utah reports
lO1. go miles. 1t will thus be
seen that Idaho leads all the states
of the Pacific northwest.
In the whole United States
there were 1900 miles of railroad
built during the year, being a
greater mileage than for any year
since 1890 when 567O miles were
constructed. The largest number
OF miles Of road were built in
Iowa, which is credited with
2S2 Sc miles. The smallest shO\ :
ing is from Kentucky, where only
$50 miles were added. The
whole state Of California only beats
Idaho by about five miles, Cali
fornia having reported 5000.
Kansas is down near the bottom ol
the list, with only II miles, while
Nebraska has SO. SO miles. 1t may
safely be said that Idaho leads
all the Pacific coast states for only
California is ahead Of it, with moi
much to boast Of The Railway
Age secures these figures in such
manner that they are absolutel.

Our Electric Lights.

For the past two weeks growing
Grangeville has enjoyed the luxury
of electric lights and the service
is giving great satisfaction and 4
being generally well patronised.
The arc lights for the streets have
not vet arrived but are expected
here in the next two weeks and
will be installed as soon "a they
arrive. The rates charged by the
company are quite reasonable and
make distinct saving when com
pared with the use Of coal oil, to
ray nothing of the cost OF lamp
chimneys, the time saved in
cleaning lamps, and last but NOT
least, the great protection which
our new illuminator affords from
fire. A very large proportion OF
the fire losses in towns like
Grangeville, which are built up
Of wood almost exclusively, arist-
from the explosion OF lamps and
the consequent spread OF oil which
gives confagration g start that
too frequently cannot be checked
until the town is consumed and
destroyed. There are so many
illustrations of this fact before ns
that the electric lights should be
patronised to the exclusion of all
other illuminants. The inlroduct-
ion of electricity and the additional
protection given us by our water
system and fire department should
reduce the rates charged by TIN
fire insurance companies, but s.
far no reduction has been made
and we suggest that our business
men would make money by taking
up this subject and by concerted
representation secure reductio,
Of the existing rates. Such repre-
sensations would induce TIN
companies to send up IL specia
agent to revise the rates. or thi
we have the assurance of the com
pany which we have represented
for IA years. Let us get togeth e
and take the necessary steps a
once.

leads to the main body. The
indications are that there is a
very large body of the coal. They
have run in on the stringers for a
distance of 60 feet. The strike Is
made especially important in view
of the fact that The survey of the
r. & |. n. railroad takes the road
into Pollock. Practical tests of the
coal have been made. In one Of
these a bar of steel was melted i'll
three minutes by the use of small
bellows. The ore body is being
opened by means of an incline.
If there is big body of this coal
there the discoveries have fortune.
