the Seven Devils has begun. During the
past summer stages left Council at | p.
m. for the Seven Devils and the Mea-
dows. The road to the Devils, usually
a good one, is at times much broken by
the ore teams, making the forty-five mile
drive a somewhat rough and dusty, al
though in every other respect, very
pleasant one. Here are seen well-irrigat-
ed and highly cultivated orchards and
ranches with the pine-coyered hills on
either side. Entering the cool, black
pine forests one begins the climb up the
mountains. which present most charm
ing scenes. The clear, cool mountain
streams, with their myriads of trout, the
refreshing mountain air, the waving
pines. the balsamic fragrance, the rug
ged rocks, amply repay one for travels
fatigue.
Late in the evening Landore in the
Seven Devils is reached-a town of fifteen
or more houses-where little more than
a year ago was wilderness of pines,
frs and underbrush. Here saw-mill
of 5000 feet per day capacity turns out a
fine quality of lumber. The town is
located at the dump of the DEBORAH
mine, and the beautiful cottages and
grounds of Manager Hancock are the
distinguishing feature of the place One
mile farther on is DEBORAH, few months
younger than Landore, and little larger.
This town boasts fine tiag-pole of fir,
seventy feet high, which stands AS it
grew except that the bark and limbs
have been stripped from the trunk.
The trip to the mines on horseback is
most enjoyable. The road winds around
description battling mountain scenery.
The f1rst mines on the way up are the
Helena where about fifty men are en-
ployed, and the Blue Jacket with its pro-
gressive operations Farther rp the
mountain one ascends White Monument
peak from which a magnificent view
presents itself OF the canyon on one side
An awful chasm--and the distant
towering mountains of Oregon and
Washington on the other, while scattered
everywhere in profusion are most beaut-
iful mountain flowers. Here one realizes
why this state received the Indian name
Idaho "Gem Of the Mountains In
full view from this point are the seven
black peaks which give this region the
name Seven Devils.
A pleasant ride of nine miles brought
the writer and her party to the Peacock
mine, one of the richest copper mines In
the country. The ore here lies all around
on the surface. We were most royalty
entertained by the manager. Mr.. Block,
who took us down into the mine. and
showed us all it's workings. The scenery,
climate, and water. to say nothing of the
vast mineral wealth of this region, would
tempt one to give up all modern luxuries
to enjoy nature as we find it in this
charming land.

ho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Colorado and
Nevada had practically agreed to a
concerted plan of action in support
of this to secure an appropriation
for irrigation.
'sThe receipts for the sale of gov
ernment lands above expenses are to
be used to build great reservoirs and
canals to catch the water as it comes
from the snow on the mountains, he
said.
"You see, government irrigation
will permit lands now unused to be
reclaimed and sold to home seekers,
which will each year raise money and
in this way the system will be virtu-
ally self supporting after it is
started. The reservoirs, which must
cost millions, will be built as fast as
the income allows.
"There are 100, 500, 900 acres of
land to be reclaimed in this way,
IL, 900, 600 in Idaho alone. In Snake
River valley, where $500 miles of
bitches have been built by private
owners, 100000 acres have been
made fertile and are raising from 200
to 800 bushels of potatoes and 25
bushels of wheat to the acre.

BOERS SUMMON COUNSEL
What Shall Be Done About South Az
rican Reprisalss

Amsterdam, Nov. 1.-The Boer
deputation here summoned Messrs.
Leyds and Van Boescholen by tele-
graph yesterday from Brussels to
consider dispatches received from
the Boer leaders in the field, saying
that the fighting burghers we're
determined to make reprlsals il the
British continue hanging and shoot
ing rebels and others, to the effect
that the Boer authorities in South
Africa affirm that the adoption of
reprisals would be bad policy and
that, in order to strengthen their
position they request Mr.. Kruger to
let them know his opinion, as he
still has the greatest hold on the
minds OF the burghers. The meet
ing lasted four hours and it was de-
cided to advise Mr.. Kruger to comply
with the request of the Boer author
tiles and to take the opportunity to
bring the subject OF British execu-
tions in South Africa before the
European public in an open letter.

A BAKER CITY PAPER TALKS
Latest Information Of Number Of Men En-.
gagged In the Seven Devils Mines

Oregon Daily Republican,
The Blue Jacket mine, of the
Seven Devils, is still operating and
at present there is no indication that
it will be reduced to the compare
tively idle state Of several other prom
inent properties of that camp this
winter. n M. Imhaus has just re-
turned from the Meadows, beyond
the Seven Devils, but learned during
the course of his trip much relating
to the famous copper district, which
is now absorbing much public inter-
est because of the lull in operations
The force retained at the Peacock,
Mr.. Imhaus says, will number per-
haps 20 men. This crew will be
kept at work in the shaft OF the Pea
cock all winter, and it seems to be
the purpose of the management to
secure depth there Immediately. At
the other properties, except the Blue
Jacket, very few men are retained,
which numbers of course may vary
slightly any time that the manage
ment desires to change the nature of
work they are performing. Three or
four men as rule now are in
charge of each of these properties.
One indication Mr.. Imhaus noted
was the number of persons taking
timber claims beyond Council, to-
ward the Price Valley and Meadows
country. 1t appears that all these
people had assurance that the rail
road would extend in that direction
and they we're acquiring timber
tracts for future use in connection
with the lumber business that must
spring up whenever transportation
facilities are offered. Price Valley
and the Meadows is the natural di-
rection for railroad from Weiser to
take, as the former place is on the
Weiser river, upon which the line is
constructed, and Meadows Is across
a very low divide on the Salmon side
of the watershed. This was sup
posed to be the original destination
of the railroad, and the Seven Dew
lis enterprise was later considera-
ton. One way of reaching these
copper mines was constructing the
regular road to Price Valley and
thence running branch to Seven
Devils.
These facts emphasize the neces-
sity of pushing work on the Oregon
line. The p. & l. N. line is not in
tended for the Seven Devils, and if
the Oregon road would get into the
field via the Snake, there would be
encouragement for the Idaho concern
to construct the branch into the
mines.
At present the sawmill of the p
& |. N. at Council is running to {
capacity of about 80, 900 feet daily
