How to Irrigate Potatoes.

A request having been made for

the Gem State Rural publishes the

to have the mat of vines cover the

protecting it from sun, thereby re-

They must be cultivated as soon as
the ground is suitable to work after

nit. They must not be irrigated in
such way as will bring the plants
and water in direct contact. No
rule will absolutely apply. Some
potatoes require more water than
others. some land does the same.

BIG CREEK
PLACER STRIKE

G. j. Arnold, the owner of sew

the Thunder Mountain district, has
sent out word to withdraw the clam

time, he placed the mine with a To-
cal agent for sale. He reports that
big strike has been made and that

never visited the Thunder Mountain
district, he has bonds on property
there, and he believes the new camp
has very bright future.
The ores Of the Thunder Noun
tain region, said Mr.. Isham to
Tribune reporter last evening, ''are
similar to the Cripple creek forma-
ton. The ore is technically desig-
mated as phonoletic, and in some
specimens | have detected birdseye
porphyry. There is ample justifica-
tion in the statement that Thunder
Mountain promises to make great
camp. l am we'll pleased with the
mineral districts OF Idaho county
that have visited. The people of
this section of Idaho do not seem to
realize the grand country in which
they live. The mineral belt is con-
tiguous to great and rich agricultural
tracts and there are such magnificent
waterways. We do not have those
things in Colorado. There is not
enough known OF Idaho. There isi
room for people and capital here.
II want to add, !" said Mr. Ishman,
"that the holders Of property in the
Idaho county districts should not
make the mistake that has been
made in so many mining camps.
Capital is now turned to Idaho Coun-
ty and it should be given show.
Holass Of property should work
with capital by granting reasonable
'Vorakjax bonds. This mining region
will then escape retarding influences
and if the country sustains present
! indications, Idaho will become grea
as mining state in short time.

TO EXPERT
DEWEY MINE

E. M. Ray, the famous mining
engineer and expert of Colorado, ar
rived in Weiser this week and left on
the Pacific & Idaho Northern for
Thunder Mountain on Thursday
morning. He goes for the purpose
of exporting the Dewey mine in the
most exhaustive manner over its en-
tire area and above ground and below
and has authority to employ hun
dred men, il needed, to assist. He
is sent by Pittsburg parties who are
associated with Dewey and the trip
is probably oecasioned by statement
made in the Engineering and Mining
Journal, as coming from an alleged
expert, regarding the property. 1t
is understood that the 100-stamp mill
ordered for the property has been
held up awaiting the outcome of the
investigation. The report of Mr..
Ray will be awaited with great inter-
est as it will have great beariug
on the future OF the district and
probably on his confirmation of all
suppasition relative to the mine will
depend the installing of the big
plant aud future operations.

Sank Near Olds' Ferry While Trying
to Escape Capture.
CAUGHT BY UNDERClRRENT
Thought to Belong to an Or ganized Gang of
Rustlers.

A telegram from Huntington says
that last Saturday an unknown man
stole valuable black team belong
ing to contractors working on the 0.
r. & N. near Baker City. He also
borrowed, without leave, a set of
harness and a single buggy from
Dave Littlefield of Auburn, who had
left his horses, buggy and harness in
one of the stables of Wingville. Two
men with rig answering the des-
scription of the stolen articles passed
Durkee Sunday morning enroute to
this place. They we're followed here
by three pursuers from Baker and it
was learned tlat they had crossed
Old's ferry, about four miles below
town. The ferryman informed them
that the men had started straight
down the river on the Idaho side, &c
two of the pursuers followed tina
bank of the river, while one remained
on this side, who caught sight of
man riding in the brush across tn
river. He signalled to his compan
ions and the fugitive jumped int
the river and swan for an island j
the middle of the stream. Whe
about half way there he disappeare
and failed to arise. 1t is suppose
he was caught by the undeIcurr
for the watchers remained until mi,
night but saw no trace of him.

Why the Steamer Norma was leased

Boat was Built at Huntington and Created
Great interest at Weiser.

A telegram from Portland says;
The repairing of the steamer Norma

that the boat is to be used in railway
construction has to some extent re-
vived interest in her history The
Norma was built in 1899, by Jacob
Kamm, Portland capitalist The
story told here, and most generally
accepted, is that when Mr.. Kamm
started the construction of his boat
at the shipyard just below the Ore
gon Short Line bridge, near Farewell
bend, the statement was gwen out
that the new boat WAS to be used in
the Seven Devils region traffic, tax
ing down supplies and bringing out
ore for shipment to the smelters at
Salt Lake and Portland.
