THUNDER MINES
STILL SELLING

Another important sale of Thun-
der Mountain property is reported
by the New York Commercial.
Philadelphia, June "a Another
large Thunder Mountain deal was
contaminated here yesterday A
syndicate composed of about a doz-
en- prominent business men and in
vestors purchased the Hoosier, Hoo
doc, Holy Moses, Snowbird and
Curtis mines for sum that runs
high in six figures.
The properties are on the head
waters of Coney creek adjoining the
Little Mag group, owned by Nc.
Cornicks, the Salt Lake bankers, and
the Bell of, Thunder Mountain group
owned by Pittsburg Oil & Steel par
ties. They are about one half mile
south Of Col. Dewey's recent pur-
chase.
The claims here were located last
year before the camp became known
to tame. They are on the Dewey
Dyke and it Is said the body of pay
ore is more than 400 feet wide car
ryIng rich streak q feet wide, that
averages about $500 per ton. Prof.
E H. Mead Of the Oregon Short
Line staff, Martin j. Jacobs, Idaho 8
State mine inspector, and H. E.
Taylor, a Thunder Mountain pioneer,
exported the mines.
The sale was made by James
Bushnell Sperry of New York. Mr.
Sperry was one of the organizers of
the Thunder Mountain Gold Co., of
which Governor Hunt of Idaho, Is
president, and which recently bought
the Mammoth group of seven claims
and the Rockford group OF four
claims, on the Dewey or Caswell
Dyke, and the Oxford mine on the
Sunnyside Dyke.

The employees excursion over the

that it suggests the possibility of
others, and that Goodrich creek can
be made popular and permanent

The say ing, ''Nature suggests and

this locality, and it would seem that
the railway company would see the
way to acquire and improve the
grounds, and institute a system of
cheap excursions that would almost
from the start prove profitable, and
become popular.

Pump Irrigation.

Bug Foe to San Jose Scale.

Washington, June 22.-The ssbug
ologirts' of the department of aeri
culture, as the learned entomolopists
are termed by the newspapers, are
performing some very important
work in behalf of the horticulturists
of this country. Among the most
remarkable discoveries announced re-
Gently is that Of G l.. Marlatt who
has lately returned from North ChinaS
Mr.. Marlatt claims to have discovered
in that far-otf land bug which IS
the deadly foe of the destructive
San Jose scale, and that preys upon
this pest and keeps its numbers so
reduced that it is the next thing to
harmless.
In North China, the home of the
scale, it is not seriously regarded
and intlicts but little injury upon the
trees. Instead of spreading out in
every direction and killing fruit trees
wherever it attacks them, as in the
United States, the scale insects are
small, miserable and puny looking.
and of such small account that thew
did but little if any damage to trees
throughout North China. 1t was
but natural for the man of science to
seek an explanation for the appar-
emily harmlessness of an insect in
that country which in his own was
one of the worst pests known.
"The reason was not hard to find",
said Mr.. Marlatt. 'sIn North China
the scale is at home, and at home it
has its enemy. which l soon found
TO be species Of what children term
'lady bugs ,"
Mr. Marlatt proceeded to annex a
a number of the lady bugs and started
homeward with about $50 in a bam-
boo cage. Unfortunately all died
but two. They were cultivated in
the way known only to eminent "bug-
ologists' and they thrived exceed
ingly we'll. In the spring they laid
200 eggs and Matched out 200 young
ones, which are now full grown and
healthy and getting ready to bring
forth young on their own account.
They have already exterminated the
scale insect on many of the trees on
the department grounds, and when
they in turn broods the department
will have million or more of these
beneficial insects for distribution.
The division of entomology expects
to distribute them to fruit raising
districts all over the country.
Y The arrival of the lady bug in
Idaho will probably be made a day
of special thanksgiving.

PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT
 WILL BE VERY SHORT
Committee Decides to Leave Atlanta Off Programme, and Chattanooga
 Extreme Southern Point.

Washington, January 30.-The commit tee on arrangements for the reception of Prince Henry held another meeting today and completed the itinerary of the Vest ern and Southern trip, which will be taken by the Prince.
 The committee has found itself embar- rassed by its desire to meet the wishes of Prince Henry to see as much of the United States as possible in the time al- lotted to his visit and the wishes of the various cities and committees to have him stop sometime in the East. Therefore to reconsile these conditions has resulted in a programme which allots very short periods of time to many of the localities that had hoped to have the Prince with them at least one or two days. At Cin- cinnati his stay will be less than half a day and in other cases it has been nec- essary to cut out important cities or break up the long projected night runs. Atlanta has been omitted from the pro- gramme and Chattanooga will probably be the extreme Southern point.
 Short Stay In Chattanooga.
 Chattanooga, January 30. - General Boynton telegraphed President Sanders of the Chattanooga Chamber of Com merce today that Prince Henry would be in Chattanooga but three and one-half hours on Sunday, March 2, and that there will be but little time for him to visit Lookout Mountain. There will be no time for formal ceremonies.

CITIES PARALYZED
 BY REGENT STORM
POLES AND ROOFS OF MANY STRONG. BUILDINGS
 WEIGHT OF ICE.

Little Rock. January S0.-Telegraph and telephone lines are prostrated. railroad traffic interrupted and business practi- cally at standstill as the result of an unprecedented sleet storm in many DOT tions of Arkansas. Advices from Jones' boro, Pine Bluff and many other points indicate that the property damage is heavy.
 In Little Rock the loss to merca ntile stocks and buildings will reach s500,OOo The damage was due to the storm of sleet, snow and rain which prevailed from Tuesday morning until after day. light Wednesday. The sleet fell to about a depth of six inches and immediately packed into a solid mass of ice. The weight was too much for the roofs of both business houses and residences, and the inevitable happened. The roofs sagged and the seams In the tin on roofs of that kind being separated. a melting mass ran through Communica ton can not be had with many parts of the State. and it is believed that when belated re- ports are fin the damage will foot up into the millions.

The total dam age probably will amount to S2O0.0 900. The da pnaUe to Qtooka of merchandise from the roofs by the sleet and ice will amount to more than $100,0OO The Cumberland Telephone Company is probably the heav- lest sufferer. One hundred and seventy five of its poles were broken down by the frozen wires and every street in this city has been a mass of tangled wires, which caused an order to shut off all electric currents. The fire alarm system is ruined and men on horseback patrol the city to carry alarms to the stations. Ex- tra policemen are on duty to protect the homes from thieves.
