Rich deposits OF tin in assure
veins have been discovered on
Panther creek, this county, and
the belt traversed by the ledge is
said to he fully four miles in length.
The tin district lies about thirty
miles southwest of Salmon City, on
the road to Thunder Mountain.
Samples of the ore shown at this
Office are known as cassiterite. or
tinstone (tin dioxide), and the
ledge opened is said to be six feet
wide. Assays of the samples show
a value Of about per cent of me-
tallic tin.
For several years stream tin has
been known to exist in the gravel
Of the creeks in that vicinity. But
until recently no special search was
made for it's source. Major w. S.
Patterson and Eli Minert have
made a few locations on the vein,
and others are prospecting for the
extensive outcrop.
To the prospector few salient
facts may be interesting. Cassiter-
lite appears commonly in granite.
1t is found in mass or crystalized
in square prisms and pyramids, and
bears rich brown (almost choco-
late) color. 1t is as hard as quartz,
cannot be scratched by a knife,
while it easily scratches glass. Its
specific gravity is almost equal to
to that of galena. On account Of
its weight, the granite bearing cass-
iterite, being by natural forces
ground up and washed away, the
so-called "stream tin," with Other
heavy metals, are left behind. L
the discovery proves as represented
it may be regarded as the best dis
covery in recent years, and barring
only the coal discoveries it may
have as important bearing upol
our industrial development as any
yet unearthed.

The TWo-Mile Law.

The irrepressible conflict be-
tween the sheep and cattle indus
tries has again broken out in this
county, and two cases have been
heard by local courts in the past
two weeks involving damages in
CURED by cattle men caused by
sheep pasturing within the two
mile limit of a settlers home. The
first case was that of Henry A.
Moughmer against Henry and
Clifford Riggs for trespass. This
case was heard before the probate
judge at Mt. Idaho last week and
was settled by the Judge awarding
damages against the Riggs boys for
S240. The last case was that of
Henry Won Berge against the same
defendants, and was heard before
justice Hinklc of Denver precinct,
last Saturday, wherein damages
amounting to $50 were assessed
against the defendants. In both
cases no defence was instituted and
no witnesses were sworn, the de-
fence preferring to let the cases go
by default, as the constitutionality
of the two-mile law is being tested
in the state supreme court in the
case Of Sweet VS., Ballentyne, the
lower courts of Boise county having
awarded damages against the sheep
men in actions for damages practi-
cally identical with those brought
in this county.
1t is claimed that the sheep men
of Idaho, Utah, Oregon and Wy
oming have raised a fund to ex-
coed one million dollars for the
purpose of taking this Two Mile
law into the Federal supreme
court, should the supreme court
of the state reverse itself on this
subject. The law, as it stands, is
effective enough, but could be
made better if the next legislature
could be brought to see that the
herding Of sheep within prescribed
limit Of the land or dwelling house
of another is nuisance and
should make it such by law, with
a fine as the penalty. Then we
would have a law that would stand
the test, and the validity of which
could not be questioned. Until
this is done the present law will
have to stand. At present the diff
ficulty is in appraising the dam
ages, which depends upon a num-
Der of things, such as the quality
and quantity OF the grass, the pol
luton Of water, and whether or
not there is grass beyond or out
side the twelve-mile circle accessi-
BILE to the stock Of the perso.i occu-
plying the dwelling house, and also
whether thu complainant is the
owner of live stock which have
been deprived Of grass within the
circle by the invading sheep. Fur
thermore, there is no way under
the present law, of determining
how much of the damages shall be
assessed against the owner of one
band Of sheep, when other bands
are grazing in the same belt. The
same law provides that while it is
unlawful to herd sheep or to per-
init them to be herded within two

HUNTING WITH Tine CAMERA

| In the current number of the World
| Work President Roosevelt speaks enter
| tainingly of hunting wild game. He pre-
! diets that the time will come when the
| slaughter of big game shall cease, and
says the change will be brought about
without lessening the delight of sports
men. He deprecates the wanton slaugh-
| ter of game, and firmly says that it Is
not sportsmanlike to join in the raids OF
the butchers whose work will lead to the
extinction of noble anne.
The part played by true sportsmen.
worthy of the name. in this extinction
has been nil, and indeed very little harm
has been done by men who have merely
hunted for trophies" says President
Roosevelt. I'm wild frontier country
it is too much to expect that settlers will
use, though every effort should be made
to educate them to the fact that wampiti
or deer free in the woods will. by attract
ing tourists, bring into the neighborhood
many times as much money as the
dead carcass would represent. 1t is an
excellent thing to have a nation profit
cient in craftsmanship. and it is highly
undesirable that the rifle would be en-
tirely laid by. But the shot is, after all.
only small part of the free life of the
wilderness. The chief attractions lie in
the physical hardihoOd for which the life
calls, the sense of limitless freedom which
1t brings, and the remoteneSs and Wild
charm of primitive nature, All of this
we get exactly as much in hunting with
the camera as in hunting with the rifle;
and of the two the former is the kind of
sport which calls for the higher degree of
skill, patience, resolution and knowledge
OF the life history of the animal sought"
Hunting with a camera is not alto
gether an Improbable form of sport. In
deed it may be doubted if snap shots OF
wild game taken under conditions similar
to those surrounding shooting with a
rifle are not fully as marketable at as
good a profit as the dead carcass of the
game. So on every score upon which the
slaughter of game can be defended the
president is right in advocating the sub
stitution of the sensitzed plate for dead
ly powder and ball. Already cameras
provided with stocks similar in all re-
spects to those Of a gun are coming into
use. The next generation of hunters Will
probably carry back from the forests
nothing more grewsome than a cylinder
of exposed films and the plate upon
which the game is served up will be de-
veloped in dark room.

OLD RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

Concerning reciprocity. it may be said
that the plan is no new arrangement.
What is now proposed is not so much the
extension of the reciprocal relations be-
tween this country and other nations
as The systematic applca ton of the prin-
ciple to modern trade conditions. Since
as early as 1867 we have had reciprocity
in greater or less degree with Spain,
Brazil Hawaii. British South Anaericar
possessions, Central American countries,
Germany, Austro-Hungary and France.
For 10 years we had a reciprocity treaty
with Canada. We allowed humber, ores
flax and hemp, manufactured tobacco
and several farming implements to come
in free, and in turn Canada opened the
gates to the same articles from this side
of the line. This arrangement ended in
1866. Reciprocity long ago passed the
experimental stage and has now become
a recognized principle of trade, the value
Of which we have thoroughly learned to
appreciate.

GOLD SHIPMENTS,

There is marked difference in the
conditions under which gold is shipped
out of this country at present, and the
conditions under which it left US a few
years ago. This year the gold goes
abroad in the form of loans; then it
went to pay debts. Then there was a
net amount of two billion dollars on the
wrong side of the ledger; today we are
the creditors of the world. The change
has taken place since sound economic
policies have been substituted for the
unsatisfactory makeshifts that did DUTY
IN former years. Seven years ago a
panic was caused throughout the country
by just such a condition as is now looked
upon with complacency. The sermon
contained in the brief history of the
past half-dozen years is one that will
be closely needed by the American peo-
pie. There is not one chance in a thou
sand of any considerable number of
voters being fooled by false economic
policies again. 8

GROWING COTTON TRADE.

The shipment of $500, 900 worth of cot
ton from the Southern states out of
Puget Sound points during the past
month is significant. It means that the
markets of the Orient opened UP by
American expansion are already taking
enough of American products to war;
rant jubilation over the bright pros
poets of a splendid foreign trade. This
item in Puget Sound exports is only a
part of the immense cotton trade now
being built up. The Southern states
favored expansion. A wider market was
needed for Southern cotton and it was
said the Orient would supply it, Sub
sequent events have abundantly proved
that residents of the cotton belt knew
what they were talking about when thew
cast the weight Of their influence in
favor Of expansion when that question
was before the public.
