the rest of the world,even to the frozen
solitudes of the north pole. has been
more and more completely mapped by
scientific explorers. There can scarce
ly be a greater prize than Lh'asa for
the explorer of today. While the most
daring Adventures continue uniformly
to record their repeated failures. an
interesting sense of romance gathers
round Lh'asa. and some of the most
daring brains in Europe are now busy
trying to find way through the bar
riers of the growing mystery and ro-

Friar Odoric in 1925 and ending with
Thomas Manning in 1911, apart from
various other expeditions which went
far into Thibet. but not SO far as
Lh'asa. Then there is the romantic
case OF Moorcroft. of whose life in
Lh'asa Hue gives a most circumstan-
tial account on the joint authority of
the regent and the Chinese governor of
Lh'asa. Mr. Rockhill is silent about
Moorcroft, which suggests that he does

European having entered 1t since NJ.
Hue left it in 1916. though many un
successful attempts have been made to
do so.
Although the mystery of Lh'asa has
deepened during the past fifty years of
travel and exploration. it appears that
during the previous 500 years. and es-
pecially during the previous fifty. it
was far more accessible. In his Jour
ney Through Mongolia and Thibet,"
Mr.. Rockhill mentions no fewer than

II Nese Capital for China.

The prediction is
already made in
certain highly in
iiuential quarters
that none of the
civilized powers of
the world will ever
again send ambas-
SadOrS to Pekin.
The situation Is
now far enough
advanced to make
it plain that if the
Chinese empire is
to maintain its in
tegrity it must be
at the cost of such
concessions to 9TH
er nations as shall
form absolute
guarantees against
outrageous a II d
sudden treachery
on the part of the
Chinese govern
ment. There are
very few guaran-
tees that China can
give which the rest
of the world would
accept as worth
anything, but first
among these is the
removal of the
capital to a point

that,not knowing the Thibetan tongue,
he avoided direct Intercourse with the
natives to keep up his incognito; that
ne made numerous maps and drawings
OF the town and district; that he left
Lh'asa for Ladak about 1898, getting
murdered on the way, and that the
Thibetan government pursued and
arrested the murderers, thus getting
possession of the maps and drawings,
which finally identified him as an Eng
lishman. Such is the summary of
HUGS narrative. 1t is not much like
story of local manufactures; 1t is
much more like what might have real
ly happened. Though Mr.. Rockhill
does not include 1t in his category of
adventures in connection with Lh'asa,
Hue gives numerous and sound rea-
sons for his full faith in it.
1t Is instructive to note that the
causes for refusal to admit foreigners
TO Lh'asa are political rather than re-
ligious. Though Buddhism was estab-
lished as the official creed in China
nearly 1000 years ago. it was after
ward discarded. and there was no such
connection to prejudice the position
of Hue in 1916. On the other hand.
Hue was a Frenchman and the repre-
sentative of a politically powerful
church; France was a great nation,
strong enough to follow politically
where Hue had led theologically.
These facts would be plainly enough
to the son of heaven" and his ad-
vi 4 /;
be as regards the rival attractions Of
Buddhism and Catholicism in Thibet.
When Hue left his escort was of Chi
nese soldiers, under the immediate or
ders of KiChau, the Chinese governor
at Lh'asa. No serious constitutional
changes are known to have taken place
since then in the relations between
Thibet and China; therefore it is clear
that the real motive for isolating
Lh'asa starts from Pekin. Even as-
suming that all formal documents nec-
essary to a traveller are placed by the
Chinese authorities in the hands of
one going to Lh'asa it does not by any
means follow that he would arrive
there safely. A message ordering his
assassination might be sent before him
to convenient place, and, after the
event, it would be either difficult or
impossible to identify the assassins
with the government All these diff
culties, however. only tend to increase
the charm that Lh'asa now has for the
explorer. The chances are not encour-
aging, but the thing might be done.

KILLED THE MEDICINE WOMAN.
Thought She Could Have Saved Child's
Life But Wouldn't.

Anna Edna was an Indian medicine
woman. She was intrustei with knowl'
edge Of natures laws, somewhat higher
than that Of the average Indian. Her
people expected her to be unfailing in her
cures and prophecies. They had implicit
confidence In her superior powers, and
fully believed that she was In touch with
the Great Spirit. A mistake in her con-
duct was impossible, from the Indian point
OF view. She was priesteSs and omen
for them to follow and obey. In sickness
she was the ever present guide. IN trou.
bic, the law giver, and In death the chief
mOurner, whose Wailings drove away the
evil spirits and opened the gates Of the
happy hunting ground for the departed.
She was clothed by them In sort OF
sacred admiration, and her talks" were
voices from the invisible spirit.
But In this instance her herbs and in.
carnations failed her, and the child she
was doctoring died. In the twinkIing Of
an eve, her superior power vanished az.
cording TO the customs Of her people. She
had failed to cure, and was false proph.
etess, an imposter, a witch, and for prac.
ticing her frauds, she must die. This Is
the Indian law. II Is Older than any

Seattle Owners Let Contract

rich strike on the Belle Baker claim Of
the Mammoth group, and In this eonnec.

The Seattle owners Of the Tammany

The Belle Baker and the Mammoth are
two claims belonging to the Mammoth
Mining company. According TO THE
SUMPTER MINER the strike made last
week "is the richest, largest and most i'm.
portant yet made In those gold tieIls--in
fact in the Northwest"
The Mammoth mine has already yielded
several fortunes, but owing to the cost Of
working 1t was abandoned several years
ago. It was originally discovered by
James Reilly, at present a resident of Sc.

Ut the Northwest as well as a sea captain

took about $4,000 from the Mammoth,
when his partners became discouraged
and wanted to 20 to the Coeur d'Alenes.

STOCK ASSOCIATION.
Plan on Foot to Organize an As
soeiation Including the Country
Adjacent the Payette and Its
Tributaries.

SOclatlOn Including the country
Adjacent the Payette and Its
Tributaries.
In another column of this issue will be
found 4 call for meetlRg at their re-
spective points of the people to assemble
and take preparatory steps towards the
establishment of stock association for
the projection of owners throughout this
section.
The initiatory steps will be to form an
assQciation including Falk's Store, En-
NETT Marsh, Sweet, Horseshoe Bend, Ola,
and other places that see it their advant
age to belong to such an organization
Later, it is desired to exten d the scope Of
territory included within the onganiza-
ton to include the lower part Of the Pay
cite valley, Boise Valley, and such parts
Of Boise and Washington counties as can
be induced to join in the protection.
For many years it has been the custom
of not few to make their living, and. too
some money, by occasionally picking up
such animals as they could get hold of
and in some way disguise or otherwise
/ hold or dispose Of to their advantage.
Such an outrage has been suffered more
by the earnest, toilng rancher who has
only few head Of stock and the losing Of
two or three head during the season tax
ing his profits. The association proposed
is a means Of protection against such an
imposition and will cost the members
but very little annually.
BY the workings of a stock association
each member will have his brand which
will be announced to the public through
the papers at least once year. He will
also be acquainted with or have list of
every other members brand and if he at
any time sees stock he can at once deter
mine to whom they belong and if their
whereabouts looks suspicious make ii
special note to that effect; or if by chance
any stock should stray away from home
any member of the association seeing
ls.id animal or animals could ut oace de-
termnc t. whom il or they belong and
notify the owner without all the trouble
and cost of an cstray procedure. And
furthermore the association by organic
ing is expected to create fund to be
used in the prosecution Of those who dc
or attempt to take stock not belonging tC
them. In union there is strength and
prestage Of united supremacy which
will bring safety to the stock of every
citizen while with continuation of tn,
present practice every one is subject tC
a greater or less loss while the fnancia
condition Of most individuals and publ,
sentiment are not such as to back claim
for justice.
Let every one get to work and be OF
hand that the proposed organization may
become realization.
