Bullets made of precious stones are

of garnets incased in lead. The British
preserved many as curiositles.

CLEANLY WOMAN .
Erroneonsly Thinks BY Securing Hell
Scalp That She Cures Dandruff.

Cleanly woman has an erroneous
idea that by securing the scalp,
which removes the dandruff scales,
she is curing the dandrufr. She may
wash her scalp every day and yet
have dandruff her life long, accom-
panied by falling hair, too. The
only way in the world to cure dand-
ruff is to kill the dandrufr germ,
and there is no hair preparation that
will do this but Newbro's Herpicide.
Herpicide, killing the dandruff germ
leaves the hair free to grow as healthy
Nature intended. Destroy the cause
YOU remove the effect. Kill the dan
druff germ with Herpicide.

field as worthy of Investigation.
Hundreds of home people are inter
ested therein, and outsiders are get
ting in on it from the four quarters
of the United States. Remote dis
tricts are furnishing people who are
interested in the Malheur oil fields.
The first visions of fabulous
wealth had their rage, and gave way
to the laugh which follows the slow
development of any new discovery.
This condition has now changed and
scores of reliable business men are
now free to express their faith in the
oil proposition. The home people
have taken what ground they want,
have put it on record, and once again
entered their usual avocations, and
the first gusher is going to be the sig
nal for the stampede of all STAN
pedes.

Statesman.
While there has been discussion
for some years of the placer mining
operations of the Caswells at Thun-

that the fact that there have been
other operations of the same kind
there has never been published.
Certainly the information was sur
prise to the Statesman, and so far as
it can learn it has never been in print.
1t is important because of the dem

Thunder Deal at WaNa

WALLA WALLA, WASH, March
TIT is learned positively that the
deed for II claims lying in circle
almost enclosing the Dewey property
on Thunder Mountain was yesterday
closed by Moore & Campbell Of this
city. The price paid by them, which
is in the hundred thousands, was not
made public. The holdings of Moore
& Campbell now include the entire
summit of Thunder Mountain proper
and Lightning Peak, as well as the
slope of each. The purchase was
from Root to Sanburg and their as
sociates and is the biggest deal thus
far consumated in the district.

mined for four years. The property
was originally located on grubstake
by prospector named Covert, who
has since died. The original loca-
tions were placer, but Mr. Holcomb,
who was interested with Covert, has
since covered the ground with 10
lode claims.
The formation there is similar to
that at the Dewey mine, and the
placer mining has been of the same
character as that conducted by the
Caswells- sluicing off the Stacking
surface of the porphyry deposit.
There was much difficulty met with
in securing water, and for the first
three years the runs were very short.

FREIGHT Rates On Cattle.

Gerry Snow, who buys many thous-

cinity for large shippers, informs us
that matters at present are in an un-
satisfactory condition because the
freight rate to all eastern markets
have been raised $15 per car, this
being applicable even to trainioao

the cattle owners, as the buyers
must figure on regular margin, re-

There is to be a city of that name

The town is located upon the prop

that this is the only available townsite
in the new district, being located al
the junction of the West Fork and
Monumental creek, where there is q
comparatively level site, high and
dry, abundant timber adjacent and ev-
cry facility tomakea mining metrop-

to establish various business houses
there, and others are preparing to &C

Grade of Placer Hold.

The origin of the fine gold of
Snake River has been subject of
much specuat for years, and has
entirely baffled the theories and re-
searches OF the ordinary prospector
who has traced it from the mouth of
the river to its very source, only to
find, contrary to the experience of
almost all other placer fields, that
the same uniform tineness and tilmy
condition of the delicate colors pre-
vail throughout.
One of the most plausible theories
that have been suggested touching
the origin of this extensive distri-
button of the precious metal was ad-
vanced by Capt N. L. Turner, a
West Point man, who spent consid-
erable time investigating the prob
lem in the early eighties Capt.
Turner advanced the theory that the
gold was originally held in solution
by the waters of great inland sea
or lake that occupied the Snake River
valley subsequent to the Miocene pc
riod, and that the gradual and re-
peated evaporation of this great
body of water by subsequent lava
flows resulted in the precipitation Of
It's metallic contents generally and
evenly over it's basin area. This
theory would seem to account for the
uniform size and quality of the
golden colors so generally dissent
mated throughout the enormous
acreage of fine gravel beds through
which the Snake river now courses
The geological record of the rocks
left along the borders Of this stream,
and in the Grand Canyon below
Weiser, offer conclusive evidence of
land locked body of water that
covered the whole valley, and that
probably exceeded Lake Bonneville
in depth and areal extent at some Of
its higher levels. This great body
= of water, which might aptly be called
Lake Idaho, for the purpose Of this
article, was created by the closing OF
r the lower valley by a great dam OF
Columbian lava at 500 feet high,
now plainly exposed by erosion. Its
