The Blackbird Copper Gold
Mining company has just closed
another important purchase Of
Idaho property and issued its
checks for more than 800, 900 in
the requirement of great Red
Bird gold property, some fifteen
miles northwest of Salmon. The
names of the vendors could not
be learned, but they are reported
to be all residents of Salmon, and
the purchase price will be divid-
ed among some six of them.
The property has been devel-
oped extensively during the past
year under bond, and it is known
that the monster ledge which
traverses the ground solid for no
less than one and a half miles
has right now more than $50, 900
tons of gold ore in sight, ore
which at most conservative es-
innate will yield over IS per ton
on the plates, taken as it comes,
while sensationally high values
have been known to come from
certain portions of it.
The company, the Herald is
reliably informed, will continue
the development of the mine for
possably another year, when a
mill commensurate with the
needs of the undertaking will be
erected on the property and the
rock made to dislodge it's golden
treasure.
The Blackbird company has
done with the Red Bird just
what it has been doing with all
the numerous properties in which
it has invested such vast sums of
money during the past few
months, namely; 1t first secured
what was considered a reason
able bond and then proceeded to
determine by systematic work
and the liberal expenditure of
money whether the price de-
manded should be finally paid or
not. In other words, it is one of
the very few investment com
panies which has shown. the
nerve to spend it's money in max
ing mines, rather than demand
ing that mines be shown before
taking hold. In this way it has
acquired some magnificent prop
critics in Idaho and Utah as we'll
properties which, had they
been first developed, could not
have been touched for a great
many times what they cost.
To this system, urged upon the
syndicate by DR.. P. A. H. Frank
lin, and to it's winning features
being readily understood by
those behind it, is due the splen
did achievements made. The
Black birds success will be the
means of much more work upon
the same lines in the years to
come, as it perfectly demonstrat-
es that the true wey and the
cheap way to acquire big mines
is to get hold of the crude mater
ial and open it up.-Salt Lake

Church to listen to tie lecture de-
liv.red By Joaquin Miller.
The familiar figure of the poet as he
stepped on the platform looked just

the past decade, for he has changed
but little.
The title of his talk is lessons not
Learned 10 Books,'' and began with
the statement that teachers of these
lessons must have begun with the
morning of the world. He told Of the
men, who in the early days of creation
had studied nature, and from streams
and stones and the forest had learned
some six hundred and fifty years before
Christ. had endeavored to teach man
kinC the lessons of happiness and he
quoted from the works of Buddah and
anecG otes of Christ.
He dwelt in well chosen language
upon the topic of beauty and how
many people, by reason of their ig-
nofance were blind to the most beau
tiful things of earth
He leclted soG.u interesting illustra-
tions of the wisdom of Buddah. and
gave some Interesting examples of SIM

with the best thought and literature
of the country. He recited some Of his

WEDDING OUT OLD EMPLOYEES.
The Union Pacific Getting Rid of It's Tried
Yeterans-PhysicaI Test That is Side
tracking Lots of Old Runners.

If the Union Pacific goes down the
line with its dismissals Of employees, at
the same ratio as at present, not less
than 10000 men, some of them for
twenty years in the service, will be
taken from the ranks and fresh blood
injected into the veins Of the big sys-
TEN. Aphysical examination of Union
Pacific employees is now being con-
Quoted at the shops. The same exami-
nation is being conducted very quietly
in many Of the larger cities along the
route Of the road. 1t will soon be COM
pleted.
1t is said to be a positive fact that
out Of twenty engineers examined in
Omaha, a few days ago, thirteen we're
dismissed. If the dismissals are ex-
tended along the line at this rate, it is
computed that 10000 men viii be let
out. The examination takes in all men
employed in actual train service, from
section hands to engineers and cOnduc-
tors. The examination here, is quietly
conducted, but it is reported that sew

The doctors are supposed to examine
all employees, but if they are told that
such and such man is not wanted, as
a general thing he is dismissed. This
examination is for physical defects

perience in matters enters. On the

ASSASSIN SELECTED BY LOT.
Kentucky OmcIaIs Investigating a start
ling Revelation Made In q Letter Con-
tanning Statement Of Dying Man

The New York World has the follow
ing on the discovery of a well-defned
plot to assassInate GOebel;
It was reported that information had
been received which pointed to DELHI
crate plot in which many men were in
terested, and that there was knowledge
that the selection Of the assassin was
decided by lot. According to this
story one black bean was placed among
a large number Of white ones, and the
man who drew this black bean was TO
become, and did become, the assassin
This information came to Common
weaIth's Attorney Robert B. Franklin
in letter in which it was stated that
Bransfield BeTtram, Sheriff Of Breckin-
ridge County, who recently died from
pneumonia resulting from exposure
while here, stated to the members of
mis- family shortly before his death that
be was in Frankfort when GOebel was
shot, that be had knowledge beforehand
that Goebel would be assassinated and
that a meeting at which there was
casting Of lots was held the night be-
fore the occurrence Of the crime. The
names Of the men who were at this
meeting we're not given nor was that
of the man who drew the fatal black
bean.
1t is said that twenty-five persons
were in the plot and participated in the
drawing of lots. The meeting is said to
have been held at midnight in the Office
Of the Seer etary Of State. After full
discussion Of the matter, it was decided
that all should draw from a box in
which had been placed twenty-four
white beans and one black one. The
person drawing the black bean was to
kill Goebel.
The men in the meeting are said to
have been largely picked men from the
mountains, many Of whom had partici-
pated in feuds and were crack shots.

A Trick Bottle.

Rev. 7. n. Hazen exhibited a trick
bottle in the l. Ernst news stand Sat
urday evening, which he received from
a boy relative in Iowa. Within the
bottle at the bottom was a saw buck Of
red wood completely covering the
space. On the saw buck is a log OF
wood, a saw sticking in the notch, a
maIlet resting on the Log and an axe
and wedge also sticking in the log
Inserted in the center Of the log is a
sprig Of cedar. which rises to the neck
of the bottle. The large wooden cork
is keyed crOsswsys just below the neck
of the bottle. How these things could
be placed in the bottle, and the cork
keyed through is a puzzle hard to ex-
plain. Mr.. Hazen said the trick was
done by a lad who was confined to the
house with rheumatism
