The Weatherby District.

M. N. Thompson, general mana
ger of the Granite Mountain Gold
Mining company, owners of valua-
BILE prop erty at Weatherby, Ore, is
making his first visit to Idaho's cap
ital. Mr.. Thompson is enthusiastic
over Boise and now that he has
found the metropolis city of the
state he expects to visit often.
The Weatherby district, be says,
is most promising, and the amount
of work that is going on there is
surprising. He says his company
is working a large number of men
in development work, and owners OF
other claims in the camp are doing
likewise.
s'The placer owners at Weather
by" he adds, "have had most
prosperous season, and the clean ups
will compare favorable with other
seasons. j. j. Gleason of the Dams
Company has installed five stamps
on his property and the first 30 days
clean up from the plates was satls
factory"
Mr.. Thompson, after few days
visit, will return to camp, but in th'
future expects to visit Boise fre
quently.

Boise, July Politics, ever a
subject of perennial interest, is at
tracing more attention than usual at
present, due cipally to the active
candidacy of three democrats for the
gubernatorial nomination. The pol
iticians of the party seem to be back
ing the claims Of either Attorney
General Martin or Charles H. Jack
son for the position, while there is
deep undercurrent of popular SEN
timent in favor Of the denomination
of Governor Hunt While the poll
ticians seem TO have great many
reasons for desiring the governor s
defeat, these reasons do not appeal
to the every day citizens. 1t IS un-
derstood that both Martin and Jack
son, or the gentlemen having their
respective interests ln charge, will
ask for solid and instructed dele
CATION from Ada county. To the
writer it would seem that such del.
egation is absolutely essential to the
success Of either aspirant, as they
are both residents OF the county.

EXPOSING
AN EXPERT.


The American Miner and Pros
pector, published at San Francisco,
has the following well-timed refer Z
ence to an article condemning Thun-
der Mountain, published recently in
the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal As shown above the article
was utterly without foundation and
it is surprising that a publication of
the standing Of the journal should
give space to statements coming in
that way-but appearing in such
journal its effect is calculated to have
J a serious side in view of the difficult
ties lu bringing out new district
under even the most favorable con
ditions. Ii is gratifying to see other
responsible mining papers seeking to
counteract the evil DONE The Pros
pector says:
An expert" (s) OF the Engineering
and Mining Journal" has passed couple
of davs in the Thunder Mountain coun-
try. and has submitted his report, which
is published by his paper, He admits
that the ground was covered with from
four to six feet OF snow when he was
there, yet he descants learnedly upon
formation, and with owI-like solemnity
!, declares the porphyry to be praetically
barren of few feet below the surface
beyond the reach Of oxidiZation.
\, las to formation says this geologi-
cal sage, ''it is flow Of porphyry, COW
I ering the trachyte, andesite, and basalt

was hundreds of feet thicker and car
: ried small quantities OF gold. Genera
tions of weathering have worn away
much of the deposit and concentrated
the gold on and in the soft, oxidized sur
face OF the remaining porphyry.
Now all this he learned bv peering
through SIX feet of snow. It takes u
New York expert to accomplish such
r miracles.
The Dewey tunnel he describes as q

Again, he says he made tests himself

UONd Pence Talks.


Beginning with the Smith creek
district just over Elk creek summit
on the Warren trail. distance of
35 miles northwest, from Thunder
Mt. proper, Mr.. Pence spent some
time at each of the intervening dis
tricts now attracting attention, namely
on Big creek, Little Marble, Snow
side. West Fork of Monumental and
TRAP creeks
On the latter creek (Trap), Mr..
Pence made II locations within
about two miles of the Dewey mine.
He feels extremely well satisfied
with his locations, especially as they
are right in the heart of region
where all the properties have been
sold or bonden. Thirteen claims adj
joining Mr.. Pence's properties on
the north, in which l.. E. Carr,
formerly of Payette, held large inter-
ests, were recently sold for $50, 900.
The 25 claims recently bonded to
Plttsburg capitalists, in which Frank
Branham, with whom Mr.. Pence
went into Thunder Mountain, is in

SITE of Golden, now being surveyed
and plated. just before Mr.. Pence
came out an assayer, representing
the parties holding the bond, had
arrived on the ground to make in
vestigatlons.
Mr.. Pence also visited the Profile
ereek district to the west of Thunder
Mountain and also the Indian creek
district which is attracting great at
tention just now.
When Mr. Pence left week age
last Sunday he said there were n
cabins in the course of constructor
in Thunder Mountain City. Roose
velt and other camps also gave indi
cations of building considerably

only by the surface formation, whic
however, looks exceedingly favor

him that he would be glad to have
the opportunity to call on his
daughter. The old man looked
him over in a sympathetic way for
a few moments and then said:
"Tm sorry to hev to dissapint ye,
young TELLER, but the fact is that
my darter has been engaged for
mOre'n a year to a chap who lives
in the city. They air expectin' to
be tied up next week"
And when the discreet young
man went home and figured up
that the time he had spent in help
ing the old man with his chores
and in running errands for the old
lady amounted to about three
months all told, he dug up a lot
of language which he had laid
away and had never expected to
use except in a case Of great emer-
gency.

it is possible to be too ALFRED

SUCH MEN ACE DANGEROUS.

Shakespeare in his "Julius
Caesar'' says of Cassius that he
could not be trusted because he
was too lean.
Now We have the terror Of men
who cannot be trusted because
they are too Mechanically.
Mr.. Gladstone was very deeply
impressed by the rapid accumula.
ton Of immense wealth in the
United States, and inquired much
into the causes that made it posi-
BILE.
It is related that when he was
informed that one man in this
country, William II. Vanderbilt,
owned and controlled 5000, Co.,
600 in negotiable securities he
declared that this was too great a
power for any one man to have,
and that the government should
look after a man when he had ae-
cumulated that much money. Mr..
Gladstone probably meant that
there should be for such huge for
tunes a rising scale Of taxation
for the benefit Of the community
But if Mr.. Gladstone regarded
William 81. Vanderbilt a man
whom the government should look
after, what would he say about

Now that General Brooke lie

one Of his iaVOrite stories, which
has to do with the civil war. BE

struggle, and that upon return
ing, somewhat Unexpectedly, he
made an imprOmptu inspection Of
the camp. There had been no
fighting, and discipline had been
considerably relaxed, a number Of
small thefts had recently been
committed, and a negro had been
arrested on suspicion. When Gen
eral Brooke, then a colonel,
reached the guard tent he was
surprised to find nobody about.
He lifted the flap and looked in

NEW CURE.

Justice Shiras hasa collar but
ton story which he tells with a
great deal of gustO, says the Chi
cagO' Record Herald. A man in
Pittsburg, where he used to live,
had a wife who was complaining
Of dyspepsia, and she heard Of a
certain remedy that was put up
in capsules. Her husband bought
q dozen at a drug store and
brought them home in q pill box.
at the same time he bought a
dozen collar buttons made OF a
metallic composition that looked
very much like pearl, and the
druggist gave him a pill box SINH
lar to that in which the capsules
we're put up to carry them to his
wife, and the same day she began
to take the medicine. After she
had taken twelve doses she was
entirely cured, and advertised the
wonderful remedy all over the
neighbOrhoOd. About this time
her husband lost bis collar button,
and, opening his pill box found it
empty. a brief investigation
showed that the capsules IN the
other pill box we're still there, and
that his wife had swallowed
twelve composition collar buttons,
and been entirely cured Of dys-

ASSOCIATED Press dispatch from

This means that misery, suffer

by millions OF people in this coun-
try because Of the infamous ava
rice Of a lot OF men who have out
ragged every principle Of humanity
and justice, and placed them
selves beyond the pale Of consid-
GRAFTON.
They drove thousands of min
ers to a strike IN which they are
herOically persisting, and in which
all fair-minded men hope they
will be victorious.
These plutOcratic robbers can
not drive the people too far.
They have pressed the patience Of
the public already almost to the
limit.
They are directly and solely
responsible for the strike.
The manner in which they have
WrOnged the honest labOrer out OF
whose sweat their millions have
