Electric Mining 4 Power Company will
Erect one on Their Crooked
River Property.
WILL Be 1000 HORSE POWER CAPACITY
The Company Has One Of the Largest
and Richest Bodies of Free -rlilling
Ore In the COuntry.

A company has been organized
in Butte and Helena, Mont, by
Hogan Bros, who are working
big quartz dyke on Crooked river,
Elk City mining district, under
the name of the Crooked River
Electric Mining & Power company,
and they intend erecting 1000
horse power electric plant on that
stream as soon as the foundries can
fill their orders for the necessary
machinery. Crooked river is an
ideal stream for generating electric
power, as there is ample water at
all stages, and numerous mining
properties in the near neighbor-
hood to afford a market for the
surplus power. With the extern
sion of the Clearwater Short Line
up the south fork of the Clear
water there will be a revolution
which will make that district the
most populated and productive OF
all the many mining districts in
this great county of ours.
In the territory drained by the
American river, Red river and
Crooked river are quartz mines
enough to eclipse the gold output
Of the rest of the United States,
and some day capitalists will get in
there and acquire the now idle
properties and astonish the mining
world with the possibilities OF this
great mineral zone. The Hogan
Bros. have done much to offset the
validating and rutabaga methods
of mining which have temporarily
given 50 many of the promising
properties in that section q black
eve.

ELK CITY MINES.
Every Pound of a Huge Dyke
Said to Garry Gold.

L. s. Hogan, a young attorney
of Helena, and formerly secretary
of state for Montana, is in fair
way to acquire riches via the min
ing route. Mr.. Hogan is secretary
and treasurer of the Crooked River
Mining & Milling company, which
is operating in the the Elk City
district, and is a heavy shareholder
in the corporation. "The company
has one Of the largest free milling
bodies Of ore in this country" said
Mr.. Hogan, on his recent visit,
land is putting in 2O-stamp mill
with which to reduce it. 1t started
with 10 stamps, but is now adding
another 10.
"The ore body is a huge dyke,
every pound of which, SO far ex-
tracted, averages well in gold. We
expect to have the mill running by
the lst of August and if everything
goes right, aud there is no reason
for us to believe otherwise, we
will enlarge the plant from time to
time, as there is ore enough in
SIGHT 10 keep a large mill con-
stantly in operation for % or 80
years. The property is located
about seven miles from Elk City,
one of the Oldest gold mining camps
in the west, and is surrounded by
timber and water. Our power will
be water, as there is plenty Of it all
the year.
'cFhe company owns 30 claims,
all of which are located on the
dyke. The mill is also on the
dyke, and all that is necessary is
TO quarry the ore and run it into
the mill.
II visited the scene Of operations
about ten days ago and found every
thing moving along first class. l
expect to go again in few days.
While there the last time | heard
of a rich strike of gold ore that had
been made on the American Eagle
property IoCdtcu duOut . mileS
from Elk City. The mine is owned
by Spokane men-Messrs Mona
han, Clark aud Sherman. They
drove the tunnel into the side of
the mountain and tapped the vein,
which was very rich in spots,
some of the ore going as high AS 81
per pound. 1t was an easy matter
for them to get $40 from one pan
of pulverized ore.
'After striking the vein they
drifted on it, and since my return
to Butte l have been informed that
at a distance of 20 feet they struck
it richer than ever. 1t is really
one of the richest gold mines in the
United States. As to the size of
the ore body l have not been in
formed, but it is not streak. The
ore is literally filled with gold that
can be taken out in chunks. As
the property is controlled by indi-
viduals the PROSPECTS for the own
ers to become wealthy are good. 3"

The people of Idaho county are
a pretty independent set, and while
the county is normally and largely
democratic. it will not do to insult
their intelligence by nominating
unfit candidates for county or leg
islative offices at the Forthcoming
county democratic convention
There are candidates galore for all
the Offices. Let the delegates uom-
mate the most fit and the rank and
file will do the rest.

Wisconsin capitalists have con-
tracted with nine cities to erect q
beat sugar refinery costing half a
million dollars in each place. But
there are several Ifs involved.
One business "If' is that farmers
in each vicinity must contract to
raise 1000 acres of beet for three
years. A job "If'' is that there be
no reduction of the tariff on sugar.
In other words: "IfN' seventy-siX
millions of people will consent to
pay two cents per pound more fol
their sugar than it is worth and
than they could got it for if they
conld buy it untaxed, these men
will build refineries and pocket the
tax bonus.

There are two new aspirants for
the nomination of sheriff on the
democratic ticket in the persons of
John p. Hartman and William w.
Bowman. Both are well-known
old-timers, and each will go into
the convention with earnest sup
porters. The main strife in the
convention promises to be over the
county clerk and sheriff nomina-
tons, and general all around
good-natured hot time is expected.

The democratic county central
committee did well in providing
for large membership OF the
county convention. With total
membership Of l57 delegates there
ought to be distinctively demo-
cratic gathering from all over the
county We believe that such a
large gathering will come more
nearly giving satisfaction than "a
smaller convention. In a multi
tude of counsellors there is wisdom,
saith the proverb, and the assem-
bled wisdom Of the 157 delegates
to the convention ought to insure
the nomination of a county ticket
ticket that will be invincible when
we appeal to the larger tribunal
of the people to elect them.

whereabOut for some time and have
been watching him closely. He
ran shooting gallery in Grange
vile early last spring, and has
since been travelling into the Elk
City country, where he has a
brother. Sheriff Dixon was noti-
fed and went to Sites to receive
the prisoner until such time as the
requisition papers could be ap-
proved. The prisoner was taken
to Mt. Idaho, and subsequently the
officials from Minnesota started
back with him. He admits that
he is the man wanted, but denies
having committed the crime.
Additional infor nation regard
ing the charge against the man is
that his arrest followed as the re-
suit Of confession of a younger
brother who was arrested in Min
nesota about three months ago. In
the confession it appears that the
brother stated that he and Philip
Addy had been employed for the
sum of S40O to murder the couple.
The crime was committed at a
point near Minneapolis about a
year ago. Addy had brother re-
siding on Camas Prairie aud came
to Idaho county several months
400. He consented tn retnrn m
Minnesota without requisition pa
pers aud protests that he is entirely
innocent. The officers, however,
feel assured they have the right
man, and state that the feeling
against him is so strong in the
vicinity Of the crime that precau.
tons will have to be taken to pre-.
vent him from being mobbed.

i Republican editors committed to
the imperial policy Of the present
administration are taking great
credit for the republican party fol
having sent 1900 American school
teachers to the Philippines. just
how American teachers, ignorant
OF the language, the religion, the
social customs, the national char
acter and racial life of the Filipino
people are going to teach their
children to read and speak the En-
glish language is something that
they have not undertaken to ex-
plain. The Filipinos had an abund-
ance of native teachers, and they
had schools and school houses be-
fore we destroyed them. But none
the less, the poor Filipinos, out of
their poverty, are required to pay
the American teachers six times as
much salary as they paid their own
teachers. If there is one thing
more than another by which we
should be guided by the light of
history it is in this matter of for
cing language upon an unwilling
people. Russia and Germany have
fried it in Poland. England is still
SWING it in Ireland and Wales after
several hundred years OF useless
experiment.. Germany has never
orced its language upon Poland
md Lorraine. Quebec, under En-
Ugh rule for 100 years, speaks the
French language today as univers-
lily az it is spoken on the Paris
houlevards. Spain held dominion
yer these same Philippine islands
pr 300 years, and yet we are told
hat not more than per cent of
A1e Filipinos speak the Spanish
snguage. The administration has
iade stupendous blunder and one
hich is doomed to dismal failure,
0 matter how honest the inspira-
on may have been to follow out
e alleged "hand Of destiny" con-
'rning which the itnperialists prate
loudly.

/ PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Now that the date has been set
for the holding of the democratic
primaries in Idaho county for the
election Of delegates to the county
convention, it is right that the peo-
pie should be informed that the
primary elections are the very
fountain head of popular govern
ment. II is for the people them
selves, and not the candidates for
Office, to elect these delegates who
will nominate the county ticket.
There is altogether too much in
difference among the people in this
matter, with the very natural re-
suit that the conventions are nearly
always packed by delegates pledged
in advance to the support of this
man or that man who aspires to
official position. Delegates to the
county convention shonld not be
pledged to support any particular
man for any particular Office. The
idea OF county convention is to
provide an arena wherein the
friends of the several candidates
for the Offices can present their
names and claims for the support
OF the voters, leaving the conven.
tion to select the candidates who
will give the most strength to the
ticket. Unfortunately, the work
OF the convention too frequently
results in the election Of delegates
who attend for no other purpose
than that Of boosting their particu.
lar candidate, no matter whether
he is strong or week.
At the forthcoming county dem.
ocratic convention we hope to see
no delegates elected who are pledged
to support any individual. Give
your delegates q free hand. Let
them 60 the convention free to Sc.
lect the best, the strongest and
most available of all the candidates.
By this means the convention will
be more apt to nominate a strong
ticket, and one which will give
strength to the democratic party in
the county and state. 1t does moi
follow that the candidate who con.
trolls enough votes to secure him
the nomination is necessarily the
strongest man.
The interests of the great demo.
cratic party are far superior tc
those of any individual member
and it is up to the delegates to see
to it that they select the very best
material all along the line for the
candidates whom they may honor
with a nomination.
