Residents of Boise City, Idaho, are
very much excited over the discovery
of mineral which has illuminating
power. The discovery was made by
George +. Ayres, Il well-known mining
man Of Boise, several weeks ago in one
of his claims about sixty miles from
Boise. At the time he did not think
much of the matter, and, therefore,
paid no attention to 1t. The further he
went into the mine. however, the
brighter the light became, until, after
Il few feet had been worked, it was
not necessary for him to use lamp.
1t was then that he took some of the
mineral to Boise and had it examined
by an assuyer.
Terry l.. Williams, Of Boise, who is
interested with Mr.. Ayres. was In Ia
coma, WASH, recently and had a piece
Of the mineral with him. He will have
an assay Of it made and expects that
Its true worth will be determined.
so far we have not been able to find
any person who can tell what kind Of
mineral it is" he said when exhibiting
it, and it is for that purpose l have
brought it here. There is large body
Of it ut the mine where this was taken
out, about sixty miles from Boise City.
Mr.. Ayres, owner Of the mine. found 1t
four weeks ago at depth OF 300 feet
from the surface. He was running a
crosscut tunnel to tap his ledge Mt this
depth, when he struck this deposit.
AT first it attracted his attention by
giving forth dull light. As he worked
further in the light became brighter,
and the end of three days work he was
able to 60 ahead without the aid Of
lamp. Then the mineral became curl
Osity and some of 1t was taken to
Boise. 1t was examined, but there has
been no one who is able to tell just
what 1t is.
"Mr. Ayres took a piece Of 1t to his
cabin, and after night tried to make 1t
show a light, but 1t was not so bright
az it had been in the tunnel. This Ia
attributed to the atmospheric condi-
lions and is undoubtedly true, for In
the experiments that have been made
with it in Boise we have been able to
reproduce the atmospheric conditions
In water that prevail where the min.
eral is found, and therefore 1t is not
thought that we will have any trou.
BILE in getting the desired result.
$50 far as we have been able to learn,
this Is the first Of the mineral ever
found in the world. All assayers to
whom we have shown 1t say they never
heard of it before. and they are not
able to tell what 1t is. We will go ahead
and try to put it to some use. and even
at the present time are reasonably sure
Of success. II 1t does come out as we
expect. the mine will he more valuable
than we ever believed.
There is a large body of the deposit,
and the farther we 20 in the stronger
becomes the light. Another thing that
we are convinced of Is that If 1t can be
made practical it will be perpetual
light, for in the throwing off Of it's rays
there does not appear to be any waste
of the mineral. Since the discovery
there has been a large number Of WIS.,
itOrs to the mine, and interest In the
outcome is being watched by all in the
vicinity where the deposit was uncov-
cred. "-Northwest Magazine.

many years the centre of this city. Ii Is
100 small architectually to fill the re-
quircments Of the place regarded from
the view point of the picturesque. 1t Is
too small--too low, and too narrow on its
north and south eievations--to comport
with its surroundings. The Delaware
Hospital buildings, on the opposite side
of the street, with its ample grounds,
dwarfs the school building, and the little
store house that crowds against it on
the south seems to be disputng with tll,
school house about its rights to be tHerc.
Then the building wits too small even
upon the ground of utility and economy
when it was erected. The cost of seat
ing pupils in that school was nearly twice
as great MS need be, and this cost was
incurred to satisfy the utilitarian ccono-
mists. Had it been built as first ir-
bridge to Fourteenth street been plr-
chased and utilized as site, the build
ing would have been handsomer, cheaper
as an investment, more economical as Il
schoolhouse, and of greater value to til,
city as an eXemplar of its civic spirit

phasize the error made in reducing it,
size, reducing its front elevation and til,

KEEP THE GROUND OPEN.

We imagine that we will strike wid"
the matter, when We suggest that the
Board of Public Education preserve the
lot recently bought and adjoining the
High School, as part Of the grounds of
that school. The ground bought for that
building site was too nearly covered hy
the building to secure the best results as
to beauty Of appearance, and the late
purchase gives opportunity for correcting
that error. We think il fortunate.
OF course we understand the travail of
the economical and utlitaran souls who
are always on the look ont for cXtrava-
ganer and waste in the distribution OF
thu taxpayers money, over such pur-
chase and such 4 suggestion hs We
make here. or course, to them, every
thing that is not necessary, absolutely
necessary, IL cXtrayngancr AMI waste.
Such thing as beauty Of architecture
in 50 common il thing as school house
belongs 10 the unnecessary as n matter Of
course, and the idea of IN open space
about that school house, with frees and
grass. to give atmosphere and color tn
the picture which it presents; well. that
is simply unthinkable. That is, it is too
often nnthinkahle at the right time.
One Of the worst mistakes ever made in
the erection OF public building III this
City was made in the erection of Wash
ington School No. a. That school
building occupies one Of the handsomest
sites for public school building that
this country affords. We think we can
say that without fear Of successful con-
tradiction. The building and the site
were sacrificed to the utlitarian spirit
that carped. then as it does now, over
what it alleged to be-without proof n
waste of taxpayers money. That school
building stands in what is to be, before
