IDAHO
$500 TO The TON

Idaho.
Thirty Inches Of Solid ore-For,

to Be Assured.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Boise, Idaho, April 17.-In the Lincoln
mine at Pearl the richest strike in this
history of the district and one Of the
greatest in the state has Just been made.
Thirty inches of solid ore that carries gold
ranging from $3.50 to $500 a ton has been.
shot into.
Since the shoot was first encountered
the first Of the week, $50 sacks of the rich
stuff have been made ready for shipment,
and are easily worth from $4,000 to SIS, ,00O.
The shoot has been opened for several
feet and is holding out well, with indica
tions pointing to Its being one of much
permanency.
s The character of ore is similar to that
heretofore found in the mine, except that
it carries great values and some iron. a.
little ruby silver is also found on ex-
posed surfaces. The values are uniform
through thirty inches, the streak lying
along the hanging wall of the ledge.
When the strike was made known in the
camp much excitement followed, many
visiting the mine to ascertain particulars.
With the showing now made by the prop
erty there is every reason to believe it will
develop into one Of the greatest gold pro-
ducers in the west @~s

Finlanders Warned Of Consequences

ISHPEMING. MICH.-A circular just is
sued by the state department at washing

become liable to service in the Russian
army should they return to their native
land, has caused CONSERVATION among that
nationality in this section. Many Films
were planning to visit the country OF their
birth this summer some OF whom were to
leave this week, and the state depart
ment's notice has caused q sudden change
in plans.
The great majority of the Finlanders in
northern Michigan who are of legal age
have taken out citizenship papers and
become fully naturaIized. They have
thought they could visit the czar's do
mains ana bid defiance to the Russian
government were an attempt made to
ing on their American citizenship for pro.
lection.
The Russian government has heretofore
been lax in enforcing military service In
Finland, and visitors from America have
come and gone without interference. Now
however, a more vigorous policy has been
adopted. and It is stated that every native
born Finn will have to serve the allotted
time in the czar's army or be liable tc
severe punishment, including the possi,
bility of deportation to- Siberia. Rus
sia, 1t appears, does not recognize the
right of Finnish Americans II they have
left their native land without imperia
