Route to Cranpeville.

Numerous inquiries have been
made of late regarding the route
from Weiser to Grangeville by peo-
pie from the east who wish to get
into that locality. For the benefit
of those desiring information we
will give the distance and route
from Weiser. The distance from
Weiser to Council by rail is GO
miles. At Council the stage is
taken to Meadows, 80 miles; from
Meadows to Golf, IS miles: Golf 10
White Bird, 80 miles, and from
White Bird TO Grangeville Is miles,
making total of I76 miles from
Weiser, 90 of which is by rail. The
wagon road, one of the finest in
the west, was built by the state
and the p. & /. n. and 0. S. L.
railroads, $4,000 being expended
on 1t. Daily stages leave Council

The gold bugs are getting in
their fine work in the matter of re-
stricting the coinage of gold, while
they are keeping the mints of the
country busy coming the "5O-cent"
silver dollars, with the intention
by and by OF making the silver dol
lars redeemable in gold, for which
interest-bearing gold bonds to buy
the gold will be issued. The coin
age Of gold for the month of May
last was only 1926, 900, against
nine and half millions in the
same month of 1901 Thus far
only eighteen millions of gold coin
have been minted this year, against
fifty-six millions for the same time
last year. In the meantime the
coinage of "50-cent' silver dollars
has aggregated fourteen millions
for the five months of 1902, and
has thus kept the fair ratio with
1901, when the total coinage of sill
yer was thirty-one million dollars.
The financiers are getting the plans
laid for big issues of interest bear
ing gold bonds. Wait and see.

FORFEITURE OF CLAIM S.

The supreme court of Colorado
in n recent decision says:
"The act of congress authorizing
the procedure by which the prop
erty OF the cO-owner Of mining
claim may be forfeited must b..
strictly construed, and a notice of
forfeiture Of the interest of a CO.
owner, because of failure to con-
tribute his proportion of the ex-
penditures, is fatally defective if it
does not specify the amount OF
money spent upon each claim, nor
facts which might excuse the ex-
penditure on each of the claims"

THE IDAHO MERGER.

When the Clearwater Valley rail-
road Can offshoot OF the 0. K. & N.
Co. has extended its line from
Wallula to Lewiston by way Of
Riparia it is expected that it will
take over the Clearwater Short
Line branch of the Northern Pa
cific, and will also cover the terri
tory included in the Nez Perez In
dian reservation and the Camas
Prairie country. The branch from
Sites to growing Grangeville is a
part Of the new system, and an
other projected extension runs from
Cul de Sac, Peck or Nezperce.
Under the reorganization the Clear
water Valley company will not
be the creature Of the o. X. Il N
Co. nor the Northern Pacific, but
will handle the traffic of the Clear
water valley and turn it over to
the Snake river valley line running
from Wallula to Lewiston, which
will handle the traffic of each of
the companies for the benefit OF
the shipping company, the expense
Of operation being borne by the
companies in proportion to the
traffic shipped by each. At Wal
lula the Northern Pacific traffic
will be turned over TO that road,
while the O. X. & N. trade will be
shipped down the river to Port

The Thunder Mountain CORE
spondent of the Mining and Engi-
neering Journal says: 81 consider
it a little too early yet to pass a
definite opinion on the district, as
the higher hills, including Thunder
Mountain, as still capped with
snow. Free gold can be panned
from the surface soil over an area
several miles square around Thun-
der Mountain. The district shows
igneous rocks entirely for fully 10
miles square, but these are mostly
massive and heavy formations,
and, unlike Cripple Creek, narrow
dykes and contact quartz veins are
conspicuously wanting. Some rich
discoveries of assure and contact
veins are reported in the granite
formations that bound this great
igneous field to the south and east,
and it is likely that with the heavy
influx of prospectors some good
veins will be found in this central
Idaho region during this summer. /"

BENEFICIAL LEGISLATION

Government aid in the reclama.
ton of the arid lands OF the west
is an accomplished fact. The ma
tional irrigation bill has passed the
house of representatives by big
majority, and it will be of meal
culable value to the western states.
Millions of acres of land that are
now practically worthless will be
made productive and furnish homes
for many people. No act of con-
gress passed in recent years is of
such great value to the west, and
no legislation will result in greater
benefit to the whole country in the
years to come. We may exploit
the Philippine islands and build up
a vast commerce on the Pacific, but
this trade will be insignificant in
comparison with the future denselv
populated and highly productive
irrigated areas of the west that are
now barren wastes. Water and
wealth will flow through a land of
prosperity and plenty under the
industrial and agricultural activity
that will followas a result of the
final passage of this bill. Senators
Dubois and HeitfeId in the senate,
and Congressman Glenn in the
house, all did effective work. in
aiding in the final accomplishment
OF this long.sought end. As an in
stance of what irrigation has al
ready accomplished we may cite
the fact that irrigated lands in the
southern counties OF the state of

THREE CARS OF
ORE AT SAHUARO.
Owners Running Drift From
Incline Shaft, Preparatory
to Stopping out Ore.

Dave Brenneman and j. A. Mill
er of the Sahuaro were in town on
Thursday, attending the democrat

three cars of high-grade silver-Gop-
per ore on the dump, ready for the
first buyer who comes prepared to
do business. At present they are
running a drift from the 60-foot
level on the incline shaft, following
a vein Of black oxide of copper ore
carrying considerable silver and
averaging something over $3.50 a
ton. The drift will be continued
for some distance and the ore stop
ed out to the surface.
Work will be continued on the
cross cut from the main working
shaft, which is thought to be near
ing the ledge of rich silver ore
which crops on the surface and ran
as high as several thousand ounces
to the ton. The Sahuaro has every
indication of becoming a big pro-
ducer whenever it gets in the
hands of men with sufficient mon

DEAR SIR:-In Black Rock dis
trict development work is or the

Quite a number Of prospectors
are scattered over the hills in
search of new mines and | should
Judge from some of the samples
brought in that they were meeting
with good success. One old-timer
brought in sample of ore that as
sayed 20 per cent. Lead and $4,000
in gold.
In the Electra mine the ore still
continues to hold out well and
shows plenty OF copper.
On the White group quite an ad-
ditional. force of men have been
put to work during the last week.
With proper mill for treating
the ore this group would be one of
the best bullion producers in the
county.
In the Black Rock group work
is being pushed on the 200 level.

copper and gold ore. The cross
cut towards the foot wall is in 20
feet and looks we'll.

nently to the left of the Wicken-

ing run from the foot of the hill
towards the dyke and several pock-
cts and stringers Of copper ore have
been encountered. Four feet
of kaolin lies next to the dyke and
experts who have examined it say
it is fine quality, suitable for the
manufacture of firebrick.
