the property in the hopes of finding
some assure in the great lode that
would pay for the expensive trans
portatlon. Finally he and his asso-
ciates had over sixty asasys made
and from the sum total averages of
only 81. so were obtained. This was
very disappointing to Mr.. Tipman,
I for they had concluded that unless
the ore would go $40 per ton they
could not handle it, consequently they
let the property lapse, but as soon as
the excitement came, he, like all
others who knew of the great prop
erty, was DESTROYS of taking it up
once more
Mr.. Hibbs thoroughly examined
the property, took up all the records
and assays; besides a through test,
made himself, he was so pleased with
the result that this fall he boughtout
all the holdings of Mr.. Spruill, so
confident was he of the merits of the
property.
Mr.. Stewart says that while there
is fully established values Of better
than S. per ton for 100 feet in width
that they only claim that much, as
even that makes it sound almost too
big to believe. The ore is strictly
free milling and is one of the great
est cyanide propositions, Mr.. Stewart
says, he ever saw.
Among other locators are Miss
Mary Rice, Martin q Kinsinger, and
Mr. Larson, these being the early
locators, however, in a very short
time the entire country was staked
for miles solid.
Mr.. Stewart was with Mr.. Rice
and Mr.. Wiggers, the pioneer locator,
on Placer creek, securing ten claims
there in the heart of the big dyke.
These parties located there and
thoroughly prospected the territory
some three weeks before they told of
their great discovery. The recent
big strikes made there more fully
demonstrates the values of these
locations.
The Stewards, father and son, and
j. +. England, spent the entire
season prospecting in nearly every
camp of the district, and have secur-
ed valuable holdings in several
sections.
Mr. Stewart and his father are old
time Colorado prospectors, and left
that state for Idaho. They also
have valuable holdings in Alaska
and Old Mexico.

THE SNOW SLIDE
MINING DISTRICT
INTERESTING REPORT OF THE OLDEST
WORKED SECTION OF THUNDER
MT. DISTRICT.

statesman.
In an interview with Mr.. G. G.
Stewart he tells The following history
of the now famous Snow Slide section
of the Thunder Mountain district,
which is perhaps among the oldest
worked ledge properties in that part
of Idaho. Mr.. Stewart said, in part:
Our party were among the very
first to get into the district lastspring,
and long before it was possible to
reach the Snow Slide summit between
West Fork and Monumental creek
and Snow Slide creek with horses
and party of friends took our
outfit on our backs and started one
night, secretly, for Snow Slide. Ar
irving there we found that M. NJ,
Spruill was already on the ground,
but gladly did he show us where his
lines we're and as he had all the
claims he wished or rather all he
coul Id do location work on.
commenced to stake on the same
ledge, viz, the main ledge on the
old workings long ago discovered.
Mr.. Spruill had prospected the
property several years ago, but like
many others, while the returns we're
good, it was too far in the interior to
be handled at that time. He then
went to Alaska and while there the
sale of the Dewey was made with the
consequent excitement, and knowing
of this great ledge OIL Snow Slide he
Immediately set cut TO secure the
same, realizing that since the tide of
capital was flowing to Thunder Noun
tain that this would be one of the
great mines there.
Nor was he alone in his conjecture,
Tor Mr.. Tipman, the original dis
coverer of the property, and who did
practically all the development work
up till this season, was after it also,
and came over the treacherous Snow
Slide trail to locate the ground, and
after finding it taken by Mr. Stewart
and Spruill, congratulated them and
then told his identity.
Mr. Tipman located the property
~ early as 1893, sinking SERIES of
shafts along the ledge and fully ex-
plotted the width, finding that the
main lode was about 800 feet wide
and with pay shoot of over 100 feet
in width. This, by series of assays
made at the old lola mill from time
-to7time, gave values of from SO to
$32. so per ton.

GREAT WILD HORSE HUNT.
An Expedition Sent to Central Asia
by a Well-knOwn Dealer
in Wild Beasts.

In recent years the catching Of
wild animals for geological parks and
circuses has by no meAE5 deteriorat-
ed as an industry. In July of last
year Carl Hagenbeck, of Hamburg,
the wild animal dealer, sent an expe-
dition to Mongolia for specimens of
the wild horse should be found in
that region.
The special kind of wild horse that
Mr.. Hagenbeck was after was more
than usually swift and elusive, and to
overcome the difficulties in the way
of it's capture his men hired seven
troops of Kirghiz horsemen, number
ing about 1000 in all, and mounted
wild horses.
The latest reports received here are
that the agents have secured forty
six colts, nearly equally divided be-
tween males and females. Brood
mares had to be taken along, one for
each colt, to serve as adopted moth
ers for the young captives.
When the expedition gets out of
Mongolia it will have to travel more
than two months through a rough
country before it reaches the near
est station on the Central Siberian
railway. After that the captive
horses will have to travel by rail
nearly 1850 miles, to reach Ham
burg.
Several of the captives have been
sold already, it is said, at about 3d.
500 a pair, a price that will buy a
pretty good blooded horse of almost
the best domestic stock.-N. Y. Sun.

partments for use during the fair. After
ward it can be thrown into one compart-
ment to serve such uses as the building Will
be put to after the Fair. The height of the
stories allows the rooms to be thoroughly
lighted and ventilated, and gives them a
monumental appearance.
A great dome crowns the center and the
second story is formed into a balcony
opening the view from the level of the first
story floor to the ceiling of the dome. The
visitor entering the building Will be
struck at once with the size of the rotunda
and the wide sweep of the dome.
Sixteen column will carry the balcony OF
the second floor and, following the plan Of
the dome, will carry the perspective from
the floor line to the vault OF the DOME.
The ceiling of the great dome and the
walls of the corridor will supply work for
the mural painter in the representation
of incidents in the history of Missouri and
in genre represetNation of incidents of the
life and work of-~s citizens. These genre
paintings will represent life and action of
the present day in Missouri, and will in q
short time to come be of great, historical
interest. 1t is the intention to have these
paintings represent a court scene; a mar
riage scene, civil or church; a baptism
scene, and other everyday events of the
present time.
Large, wide, easy flights of stairs lead
to the second story. The sides of the main
entrance are decorated with massive stone
columns and the e~ntablature, broken into
the shape of an arch, makes the front light
in construction and graceful in appear
ance. This form also guarantees light and
ventilation in the main rotunda at all
times.
A magnificent carving In stone of the coat
of arms Of the State of Missouri will hold
a place here over the main entrance of the
building. This will stamp 1t through COM
ing years as one of the possessions of the
State, no matter to what use 1t is turned
after the Exposition.
In the rear wing is a large assembly hall
on a level with the first-story floor. This
hall is Is feet high in the clear, capable of

vT,HE Missouri Rullding at the Louislana

wTHHE Missouri Building at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at ST. Louis Is to
L be almost in the geographical center
OF Forest Park and is therefore near the
eastern boundary of that part of the park
to be used for the Fair. 1t will be easy of
access from north, south and east. Tn
grounds to the south are nearly level to the
border of the park at Clayton Road. To the
north the approach is precipitous. which
adds beauties of perspective, while at the
same time the declivity is not so great as to
render it inaccessible for pedestrians. The
Intramurai Railway, which will traverse
the grounds of the Fair, has been laid out
to pass in the immediate vicinity and a
handsome station will be located near the
Missouri Building.
All the sewer water and electric service
lines will be brought to the building. The
site selected is now heavily wooded with
oak, hickory and other forest trees n
where the necessities of foundations and
walks compel. The majestic old trees will
be kept to serve as a background and a
.edifice.
The Missouri Building will face the north,
looking directly toward what will be the
Exposition. The Lindell pavilion, located
near this point, is even now, and will be
after the Fair, the central gateway on the
north side of the park.
Inc style Oh architecture Ol Inc pullulnS
is a free treatment of the French Renais-
sance, which is the characteristic style Sc
lected for the Exposition. 1t is in the shape
of a long parallelogram with a center wing
extending to the fear. 1t Will be two stories
in height and will have a basement story
also. The center is a symmetrical square
design with the two side and rear wings
joining same.
The two side wings of the three which
branch from the main rotunda, will have q
center corridor the full length of the wing
with rooms on either side-large and spa
cious and capable OF being used either as
reception or exhibit rooms. The present
intention is to divide the space into COM
