was gained, however, the values have
gradually increased, until at Is feet,
the present depth attained, the entire
vein will average $3.50 a ton in
gold.
When seen last evening Mr.. Walsh
stated that the formation indicated a
true conact vein between porphyry
and granite The vein was com
posed of decomposed quartz with
stringers of oxidized granite and
seams of spar. The walls were
clearly defined, he said, and there
was every evidence of it's extending
to great depth. The vein matter
was so decomposed, he said, that
great quantities of it could be handled
at little expense with stamp mill.
He stated that the values we're SO
evenly distributed through the entire
ledge that every pound of ore mined
could be milled at good profit.
In reference to the facilities for
handling the output, Mr.. Walsh
stated that there was an abundance
of water near at hand for power
purposes while plentiful supply o.
timber was standing on the claim fol
all needs, such as cabins, shat
houses and mine and mill timbers.
Mr.. Walsh stated that he and hls
partner had been offered a tempting
price for their property, but that i
was not for sale. He said that they
intended to at once enter upon de
velopment work to demonstrate th

WEISER'S SPLENDID
OREGON ADJUNCT.
Is Creating Increased Excit-

Col. Dewey.

Our Mineral territory over in
Oregon continues to grow and rumors
are that startling discoveries have

Group, owned by Weiser people, and
which is showing up better and big
ger with each foot Of depth. 1t Is
SAID the reports came into Hunting
ton so thick and so enticing that last
Sunday every team in the town was
pressed into service to convey for
tune seekers to the Malheur district.
1t is told that Col. Dewey, the
veteran plunger of Idaho, who
brought the wealth of Thunder Mt.
to the attention of capitalists, is
going in for another fortune, if it is
to be had there. A Baker paper
says: "Samples Of ore from Willow
Creek Malheur county, from the
claim recently bonded by Col. Dewey
the Idaho bonanza king, were assay
ed in this city yesterday by Home

ing that from the celebrated Nortl

Creek claims. The group involve

The rush to Thunder Mt. may have
kbeen little disappointing, because
of the wrong class of people compos-
iug the majority, bit it was pro-
ductive of good as it took in a GER
tain number of real prospectors who,
when they did not find Dewey mines
at any point they might drive stake,
at once scattered into the surround
line mountains to look for new things
and the result is that mineral depos-
it's are being found found for miles
around. One of the latest'is told of
by the Boise Statesman:
"Joseph Walsh and William

fully and ably represented in the

William Jennings Bryan. Regard
ing those principles as opposed to

privileges, we condemn every effort
to repudiate or ignore them.

TRUSTS.
The alarming recent growth o
trusts whereby legitimate competl
ton is destroyed and the prices o
staple articles of consumption un
reasonably inflated, is due to hig
protective tariff, failure to enforc

THEN AND NOW

When the returns from the primary
elections were canvassed in 1900, there
was a cry Of fraud in one district. That
district was thrown out, as It was said
there should be no taint of suspicion
resting ON the ticket The Morning
News was delighted, and in an edi-
torial, with its hand on its heart, told
the people what a glorious thing it was
to throw out that district because Of a
suspicion of fraud.
This year there was another contest,
and one has only to read the news re-
ports I'M our contemporary TO conclude
that the fraud was monstrous, and yet
the Morning News says nothing. It
does not clamor for the throwing out
of that district Why? Presumably
because there are two candidates now,
and no amicable agreement has been
reached.
Had either Robertson or Sparks been
placed on the ticket by both factions,
had they agreed to allow the vote Of
the Eleventh primary election district,
or to throw it out, we should have
read In the News the next morning
that exact justice had been done and
that it was the only proper course to
take. Our contemporary with solemn
voice is always the flrst to commend
things after they have been done, bui
before an uncertainty they can only
say: "Be good" But unfortunately
there has been no agreement betweeI
the factions. and therefore our con
temporary sits ON the fence with an in
sipid grin distorting its features while
