The several splendid residences of

CYANIDE PLANT.
Result of Ford Brothers Work in
Washington County.

1t was lucky day for Seven
Devils and Washington county when
the Ford Brothers of Colorado be-
came interested in Washington
county, purchasing the Placer Basin
group of E. M. Barton, and secur-
ing other properties. The Fords
organized the Gold Coin Mining
Co. with Henry Salzer of Minnesota
as president. Mr. Salzer was in
Weiser this week and went north
Tuesday morning with a crew of
twenty men to prepare the ground
for the installion of large cyanide
plant near Black Lake at the end OF
the new road. The plant will be
modern in all respects and it is fiat
ting to note the advent of this first
cyanide mill of the county, the GER
tain forerunner of great mining
plants.

GREAT DISTRICT.
E. NJ. Barton Says Iron Mt. is of Great
Importance to Weiser.

f. M. Barton visited the Iron
Mountain district last week and there
is strong probability that he may be-
come actively interested in the de-
velopment of the camp. Ed is very
enthusiastic over the surface form
alton, which all mining men agree is
as fine as anything they have ever
known, and he believes that great
bodies of copper down in the noun
tain are a certainty. He is awake
to the fact that if live copper camp
can be opened within a half day
drive from Weiser, that it will near
hundreds of thousands, even mill
ions, of dollars to Weser in a com
mercial way, and he thinks local eff
fort should be made to bring the dis
trict out.

Work Pushing Where Bad Air is Not
Causing Trouble.

1t has been too hot here the last
month for anything, even to look up
items. People will hardly talk about
their properties, just sit in the shade
and pant.
Mr.. Ireton is pushing the adit
drift on the Keystone, and also sink
ing an incline on the Bodie, getting
the surface work in shape before win
ter comes on. These claims join the
Conway, Queen and are part of
that group
1t is expected that Mr.. Hall will
start work on the Brown and Hol-
land property in Brownlee Basin,
above Donart, soon.
The What Cheer company have let
another contract to Mcdonald and
Weston for $50 feet of drift.
At the Abbie the east drift is be.
ing driven by two shifts and they
expect to reach the ore chute soon,
also start lower tunnel in the neal
future.
At the Conglomerate they are only
working two shifts at present on &C
count of bad air caused by hot sultry
weather. 1t is expected that they
will start work at the lower end Of
their group soon, as vein OF Galens
has been found in an old tunne
which they have cleaned out ready
for inspection by Mr.. Green at hi
next visit here.

WATER WORKS AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS
weiser to Vote on The Question Of Bonding
For $4,000.

At the council meeting last Satur-
day evening the question of bonding
the city for $45, 900 for the purpose
of putting in system OF water works
and electric lights was brought up
and after considerable discussion of
the proposition, it was decided by a
vote of 5 to | to instruct the city at
torney to draw up an ordinance pro-
viding for holding an election at the
earliest possible date, said ordinance
having been submitted to the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening, when it was
passed by the same vote
In calling an election on that
question the council did the proper
thing, and we have every reason to
believe that the people will vote, by
very large majority, to put in a
system. Nothing at the present time
would be of more lasting benefit to
Weiser than a good system of water
works and electric lights.
We believe that every person who
desires to promote the welfare anc
comfort of this city will, if he or she
thoroughly considers the matter
vote for bonding.

From latest news received there is
room to hope that large part of

supposed that the chinese have
made no assault on the legation since
July 10th and that the brave defend
ers have sustained a loss of forty
per cent to date. Twenty thousand
Japanese, 10000 Russians, 5000
British and 1000 other foreign
troops have left Tien Tsin for the
relief of the legations at Pekin
Thousands of Chinese are swarming
in their path and they have serious

in the neighborhood of Pekin.

Barton Building Magnificent Addi-

ALL MODERN CONVENIENCES.
New Addition to Hotel Weiser Will be Heat
ed Throughout by Hot Water.

Architect Hummell exhibited to a
Signal reporter Monday the plans of
the Barton building and addition to
Hotel Weiser, now in course of con
struclion. and unless one has seen
them he would not be impressed with
the gratifying magnitude of the i'm
provement and the splendid appear
ance it will make when completed.
When finished the new structure
will have cost Mr.. Barton $12, 600.
The building fronts 60 feet on
Commercial street and is 100 feet
deep. the lower floor being divided
into two rooms full length and 2o
feet wide for business quarters.
Under each of these is dry airy
basement of the same dimensions as

Director Merriam Has Issued
a Circular.
Telling What Has to be Done Before
Information Is Issued.

Washington, June - (Spl) The
Census Office has issued the following
statement:
of many letters daily. asking for infoi-
nation as TO the results OF the census
in particular localities, especially III
| The larger cities. II does not appear
to occur to tho writer's that the census
has not yet been taken. The law al
! lows until June - in cities of 5000 in
| habtants and i'm rural districts until
the first of July for its completion; anu
after that the schedules nave to he
examined by the supervisors of cen
sus before they can be forwarded to
Washington in order that the supervis-
ors may determine whether the worH
has been satisfactorily done and may
be in position TO certify TO the correct
ncSS-of the enumeratOrS accounts lof
service rendered Under the law.
'ln order to appcase the impatience
of the public the following statemen,
has been prepared showing what has
TO be done with the census returns
wheE received at Washington and why
il must be weeks or even months be-
fore the figures eau he given out in
their entirety. Every enunierator is
required to tle daily report card
showing how many hours and minutes
| he has been at work ami how many
persons he has enumerated that day.
Since there are tipcluding special
euumerators for institutions ana FOR
the military and naval popuiation) ap-
proximately $4,000 enumeraiors and
thirty days are allowed Tor the compie-
ton of the census the number of daily
report cards to he examined in the
Census office is somewhere between
,OOU.OO0 and l,500.D0o, every one or
which has TO be copied by hand upon
n series of blank tabular statements,
of which there is one for every enulu,
orator.
"Thcse are then recopicd,upo Il sum
mary statement showing the amount OF
work in each supervisors district and
since there is space on each blank for
recording the work Of 100 enllmera-
tors, and only part of the blanks Will
be filed, there will he approximately
900 of these sheets. II is difficult for
anyone not familiar with census work
TO form an idea of the vast amount OF
material to be handled in all of the di-
visions of the office. The number of
boxes containing schedules sent to the
enumerators in advance of taking the
census. was 1000 and their total weight
was estimated at 300 tons All of this
material is returned 10 Washington,
where il has TO he sorted out and ar
ranged in order by states and the sub
divisions of states upon shelving aggrc
eating several miles in length. There
is IN invoice Of schedules which do not
relate to population and must be count
ed and delivered To the chief statisti
clans, for mortality, agriculture and
manufactures, and their receipts taken
for the same.
Next follows the examination in de-
tail of schedules. Every schedule has
to be examined in order TO see that the
cnumerator has moi made an over
charge for his services. For this pur-
pose the schedule has to be compared
with the account rendered by him.
Every possible effort will he made TO
