The Phanthoscope theater has
received some new views OF the
town of st. Pierre, on the island of
Martinique, taken before and af-
ter the eruption of Mt. Pelee, and
some magnificent views of the
mountain in eruption, showing the
smoke, fire, steam, lava and rocks
being ernpted from the mouth of
the crater. 1t is a novel lesson in
physical geography, and is withal
highly interesting and instructive.
The old folks as we'll as children
will derive intense satisfaction
from having these forces of nature
brought to their doors by the
moving picture show. They have
also received a large concert phon-
ograph the largest manufactured
and as loud as a band, which will
be a welcome addition to the show.
The fact that the stage company
are running a Sunday stage has
misled some of our people into the
belief that we are getting a seven
day mail service. This is not the
fact. The stage company are run
ming the Sunday stage on their
own account, and solely for the
purpose of bringing up the accum-
ulatcd express matter and sucl
passengers as may have arrived or
the Saturday train. Their con
tract does not call for the delivery
of the mail until Monday, but the,
bring up the mail and express ano
passengers on Sunday solely OF
private account. We regret tina
there is but little prospect of th'
seven day mail service being estab
lished.

Johnny Pearson is out from War
rem for drove of live stock for his
meat market in that camp. He re-
ports the placer mines working
night and day while the water
lasts, and that the Colorado peo-
pie who purchased the Bohndel &
Brahan placers on Grouse creek are
on the ground and have every
promise of doing well. Work on
the Junior tunnel in Warren has
been recommended, and what with
the operations of the other mines
and the great travel through there,
caused by the Thunder Mountain
rush, the old camp wears an aspect
of liveliness such as it has not ex-
perienced since it's discovery in
1861.
T. f. Greenlee writes from Sal
mon City asking for information
concerning his brother who was re-
ported drowned in the Middle Fork
of Salmon river, where he was pros
pecting. He was six feet one or
two inches tall, dark complexion,
dark hair and mustache, and pre-
sumably wore overalls. Should
any of our readers know of his
present whereabouts, or have any
information concerning his death,
they will confer o favor on anxious
relatives by communicating with
them at Salmon City.
The school board met Monday
evening and accepted the plans for
the addition to the school building
to be built from the proceeds of the
bond issue. Bids will be called
for up to June %, at which time
the bids for bonds will also be
opened. The addition will be 36x5s
feet over all and two stories high
and will contain two large rooms
on the lower floor, each 25x35, ane
a large room, 35x4S, for the use O
the high school, together with
recitation room and library up
stairs.

$500 in gold from % pounds of
rock. Irwin Bros. have some good
locations, and SO have Doc Mont
gomery and Spaulding, of Florence,
Ed Haug-r and many others.
"As to my own holdings, am
interested with Geo. Connors and
Wright in the ownership Of the
Jewel group, upon which we last
year put in two-stamp mill. and
have crushed good deal Of the
ore from our claims with very sat
isfactory results, both in demon
strating the fact that the ore has
the values, and the equally impor-
tant fact that these values are
saved on the plates. We find that
the ore from the Jewel group aver
ages $50 per ton in gold, and they
concentrate anywhere from 10 tons
into | to 20 into l., and the con-
centrations run anywhere from
$500 up to $1,000 per ton'in gold.
The Jewel group consists Of
three claims called the Jewel, Multi
nomah and Belle Ore. They are
situated on Bear creek, about three
miles from Salmon river, and their
altitude is not over 5000 feet above
sea level, or much the same as
Garngeville. Upon the Jewel we
have run tunnel l40 feet long
an another of 100 feet. On the
Multnomah we have uncovered the
vein for distance of $50 feet on
the surface, and on the Belle Ore
we have a 6O-foot tunnel. We are
more than satisfied with our show
ings, and have offers to sell at the
valuation of 500, 900 for the entire
property, which we may or may
not accept. We have good prop
osition and do not care whether
we sell or hold on. We went in
there with our outfits on our back
and finding the old Hunt trail from
the wire bridge inaccessible we cut
out trail ourselves, so that we
are now only ten miles distant from
the state wagon road. We have
put in some hard licks to open uI
this camp, and our interests are
valuable and well protected. We
have ample water power to run oul
quartz mill and sawmill, and WI
have also a fine location for q town
site upon our property and are will
, ing to give some one good layon
on this latter feature.

On Saturday morning last at 2:3O
Mrs. Annie G. Cone departed this
life after a protracted illness. Last
September she was taken down
with form of typhoid, which de-
veloped into typhoid-la grippe, and
for several weeks past she had been
gradually failing and it was known
that her race was run. She suf-
fered severely, but retained con-
sciousness until the "a hours pre-
ceding death.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the M. +. church on SUM-
day afternoon, and as the sun was
sinking to the west her body was
laid away to its last resting place
in the new cemetery, with the
beautiful and dignified ritual OF
the Eastern Star, there to await the
coming of the resurrection dawn.
The large concourse of sorrowine
friends and neighbors testified tt
the esteem in which our departed
sister was held in the estimation o
the community. May she rest il
peace.

w. A. Scott, recorder of the
Marshall lake district, was also a
visitor in Grangeville the past
week, having accompanied his faith
er from the camp on his way to
California after months visit
with his son. Mr.. Scott, Sr., is
well pleased with this part OF Idaho,
and expressed it as his opinion that
there would be several permanent
camps established on both sides of
Salmon river in the very near fut-
ure. He was particularly inn
pressed with the showings made in
Marshall lake, and said that in
California such showings would
create the greatest excitement.
Scott, Jr., is recorder of Mar
shall lake mining district, and in
talking to the FREE Press said:
"Yes, | am direct from Marshall
lake, and the showings in the camp
more than justify all the good words
YOU have said about it. The ore
is plentiful and rich, and there is
water power and timber in abund-
ance to maintain big mining camp
in these important essentials.
"Since l have acted as recorder
of the district there have been
about 200 location notices fled fol
record. There must be close on te
300 people in there now prospect
ing for quartz. and with the dis
coveries which they will be making
added to what is already known o
the mines in existence, it is safe t,
say that we are building up goot

Edward Hanger, who has been
spending some weeks in the new
Marshal lake mining district on
the south side of Salmon river. Is
miles from Florence, is spending
month with his family in grow
ing Grangeville, and is very en-
thusiastic over the phenomenally
rich gold quartz found in the lodges
of that section. The principal
locations made thus far are on Bear
creek, which puts into Salmon
river next above b oulder creek at
the site of the old'wire bridge.
Bennett & Morrell have recently
located group of three claims
known as the Treasure group which
shows some very rich ore, located
one-half mile below the Jewel, a
mill test of which shows values of
s467 per ton in gold. Mr. Hanger
has also made some locations which
promise to be as good as the best,
and he is also interested in others
to the extent of halfinterest.
He left specimens of some very
rich ore which can be seen at the
FREE Press Office, which for rich
ness overlaps anything we have
ever seen from any other claims in
this country. The rich ore is
largely oxidized, and well honey
combed, and Mr.. Hanger says that
it does not seem to be confined to
either of the walls, but is found
promiscuously all through the vein
matter. The general character ol
the quartz is white, literally
sprinkled with free gold with some
specular iron. hematite, and the
whole of the matrix is remarkably
free from pyrites.
The lodges vary from two feet te
four feet in width, and they arr
bedded in a formation of mics
schist covered by thin surfac,

In his address at Wilmington, N. G. last

trade. We must admit said MIR. VANDERBILT
that "the edge Is off Of our invasion of the
foreign markets." What Is the cause OF
this decline, and is the loss OF foreign trade

The New York correspondent of the Phila

the subject, says experts suspect that zone
OF the chief causes for the falling off In our
exports is the high prices and the tendency
Ia higher prices which have been the strik
ing characteristic Of American industry for
the past eighteen months.
The experts not only believe that the
prevalence OF high prices is costing the
United States part Of the nations foreign
trade, but they also intimate that domestic
business will also be affected. Ii is said
that the managers Of some OF the largest
railroad corporations lear that the increase
in the cost Of living will cut down the traffic
