which he visited some mining proper
ties In idaho c, y. Allen OF the Cen
tennial- Eureka mine, has returned
home quite confident tina; Utah has
quite as good prospects as her sister
state.
While In Idaho Mr.. Allen visited the
Rocky Bar and Atlanta districts, dis
tant o. and II miles, respectively from
Mountalnhome dthe nearest railroad
point. Commenting on the districts Mr..
Allen said Il Is a highly mineralIzed
section but has never been explored
10 any extent. The outorop showing
OF god-silver ore Is simply fine but the
country has never been prospected at
any depth. The trouble with these dis
trlots as well as nearly all others in
Idaho Is that they are too far from a
railroad"

WHY DO WE DIE?
Prof. Loeb of Chicago University
Thinks It May Be Needless.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-A new discovery In
relation to the prolonging Of human life
has just been announced by Professor
jacques Loeb Of the University of Chi
cago
IF the heart can be taken from a baby
after death, and the regular beat tenn
porarily restored by immersing it in a
solution Of salts" argued DR.. Lyons, the
assistant Of Professor Loeb, who made
the experiments leading to the discovery,
why cannot the heart of warm -blooded
animals be restored by an injection Of
salts into the veins if done when the
animal Is at the point Of death?"
DR.. Lyons began his experiments with
the lowest forms Of mammal life, mice,
then dogs and cats. Taking the animals
kept in the university laboratories for
experiment, he gave them such treatment
as would bring them to a condition where
life was practically extinct. Then by in
jections of sodium and calcium solutions
into the veins of the failing mammals he
was able to restore for varying periods
of time the heart beat in it's normal
rhythm and strength.

cessful attempt to break jail. 1t was found
last night that a hole twenty inches
square had been almost sawed through the
ceiling plates of steel, which are seven
eighths Of an inch thick. The places
where the saws had penetrated were COW
cred over with soap and dirt, the former
being used to hide the noise in cutting as
we'll as to conceal the cuts. The thick
plates had been nearly cut through and
another days work would have completed
the job.
1t is believed by the officers that Lenox
and his cell mate planned their escape
for tonight. Lenox and James Martin
held up and murdered Fireman James
Williams at Silver Bow Junction several
months ago. Martin also is doomed tc
hang.
