HIGH GRADE
COPPER ORE
Located On Salmon River Near Grange.
vile.
RICHNESS EQUALS UNITED VERDE
A Strong Company Organized
to Prosecute Development

While it is generally known that
there are large bodies Of copper
bearing ore along the. Salmon
river just west of this city, yet
few realize the magnitude of these
bodies of ore and the high values
they carry.
Some four or five years ago Mr..
r. w. Karsten located twelve or
fifteen claims upon the huge out
crop OF this copper lead, and since
then there has been at work a
quiet but persistent system of
development Of the claims. Sew
eral hundred feet Of development
work have been done upon the
property, and ore bodies, almost
incredible in size, have been ex-
posed, carrying values in copper,
silver and gold While at present,
lack OF transportation facilities
will prevent the shipment of a
great portion of the ore, yet there
have been uncovered hundreds of
tons OF high grade ore, carrying
from % to 60 per cent copper and
from l5 to 40 ounces Of silver.
which the owners of the property
expect to begin shipping early in
the new year. The property is
located about sixteen miles almost
directly west from Grangeville,
and being in a climate, always
mild and temperate, where winters
SHOWS never fall, it's situation is
an ideal one for a great mining
camp.
These properties are in the grea,
copper belt, which traverses east
tern Oregon and western Idaho fol
miles, and it has been long be-
lieved and confidently asserted by
those who have studied the forma-
tion of the lead and character OF
the ores in this great mineral zone
that within its scope there would
be developed, almost at the very
gates OF the city of Grangeville,
property that would rival the
United Verde, seems now indeed
probable, if not apparent.
The outcrop of the vein is dis
cernable for several miles, and in
places on the surface, shows a
width of over hundred feet.
Repeated assaying and testing
of the ores show that the entire
body of this ore carries values and
the development done has un-
covered bodies of hundreds of tons
carrying values surprisingly high.
The Idaho Consolidated Copper
Mining Company, limited, with Of
flee in Grangeville, has taken hold
of the property, and will begin al
once the shipment of the high
grade ore, and push development
work on an extensive scale. Local
men who have been watching the
development of the property for
past years with much interest,
have put up considerable money to
test the merits of these claims,
and have become much interested
in the "Idaho Consolidated" that
they may aid in the further de-
velopment of the property, and
share in its future.
The company will begin the
work on two-hundred foot tunnel
to tap the lead at the three
hundred and seventy, five foot level
Immediately under the old work
ings. and when this has been COM
pleted six-hundred foot tunnel
will be run to tap the ledge at the
seven-hundred foot level.
The mining public may we'll af-
for to keep an eye on this section.

To Test Sugar Bounty.

1t is rumored that proceedings
may be commenced to test the con-
stitutionality Of the sugar bounty
act passed by the last legislature.
A similar act in Minnesota has
just been declared void. The
state administration is preparing
to pay the bounty, having sent the
secretary of state to weigh the
sugar now in the Idaho Falls fact
ory. The bounty will be paid un-
less il is enjoined. The sugar peo-
pie expect to get $50, 600 from the

IN HONOR OF MITCHELL
5000 People Crowd the Audi
forum in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Six thousand peo-
pie crowded the auditorium last night
at the demonstration of the local unions
in honor of John Mitchell president Of
the United Mine Workers. The great
est enthusiasm was shown when Mr..
Mitchell appeared on the platform and
his speech later in the evening was re-
ceived with cheers. Henry D. Lloyd OF
Chicago also spoke.
After an address by Clarence S. Oar
row of this city, Mr. Mitchell spoke
briefly. His speech was interrupted at
every few words by the applause of his
audience. He declared that he was
not one of those who believed in the
trade union as the ultimate, or that its
formation was the final result to be
obtained. The working men of the
world are, he declared, passing through
a period of evolution and while every
body knew that conditions were chang
ing, nobody could foreteu what the
final result would be. He was not one
Of those, ne said, who made war upon
capital or denounced it. He believed
that there was never a time in the past
nor would there be in the future when
the difference between the labOrer and
the capitalist could not be settled if they
would but come sQuarely together and
tell the truth to each other. He spoke
strongly on behalf of the principle of
trades unionism, saying that he be-
Heved it one of the greatest powers

Mr.. Smith and Bale Waggener
Have a Lively Time.
Their Meeting Over the New
Tax Bill.
NOT A SINGLE BILL
Oldest Legislator Only One Who
Has No " Law
Senator Kings Long Record as
a LaWmaker.

The way to gel up good scrap is to
turn Bale Waggener Of the house and
F. Dumont Smith of the senate together
for a little while when they have opin-
ions which will not mix. Last night the
spectators greatly enjoyed talk mill in
which these two professionals were en-
gagged. The occasion was the meeting
of the tax commission This tax COM
mission is rather vague in purpose, but
its alleged mission last night was to see
whether or not certain instruments of
and in writing, such as mortgages,
notes, etcetera, should be taxable. The
majority lifted up its voice and declared
that the rules of the game should not be
changed to accommodate the few who
were lucky enough to hold a line OF mort
cages on their neighbors.

1y declined the appointment, but the
committee went ahead and notified him
Of the meeting. In his letter to Mr..
Griley. Mr.. Howe stated that he did
not believe there is any legal authority
for the existence of the committee; that
the committee has no power to sum-
mon witnesses and that any investiga-
ton which the committee might make
would be entirely unsatisfactory to the
public On these grounds he declined
to meet with the committee.
Councilman BergundthaI this morn
ing expressed practically Gae same
views to a reporter for the State Jour
nal
Councilman Neil is at his farm in
Wakarusa today, but will be home this
evening in time for the meeting. He
expects to attend.
The plan is now to have the whole
council take up the investigation. The
formal charges which DR.. Mcfarland
has filed viii be the basis for action
by the council There is some doubt
whether a majority of that body will
vote favorably on taking up the inves-
ugation. as it will be claimed that the
special committee appointed by Mayor
Parker has the matter in charge.

sIEGER HADNO ENEMIES.
Murdered Man Well Thought of in
Burlington.


Burlington, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE peo-
pie of Burlington are practically unan-
imOus in the belief that J. p. Sieger
was murdered and robbed in Kansas
City He was engaged to Miss Catlin
and they we're together all day Mon
day. While in Chicago q week or so
ago, he visited the large stores to get
ideas for Miss Catlin's wedding clothes
and a few nights before he went to
Kansas City he went with Miss Catlin
to the dressmaker's to help plan her
travelling gown. Sieger was Of a cheer
ful disposition and at no time while
here seemed to be Respondent.
During the eighteen mon tbs he work
ed in the mill here, he attended strictly
to his own business, and so far as can
be learned never smoked or chewed to-
bacco, never drank whisky and never
took more than one glass of beer at
one time He had no enemies here. He
generally carried a large roll of bills
and it is reported that he had consider
able money when he bought his ticket
for Kansas City Tuesday morning Of
last week
The theory of suicide finds no believ-
ers here. Sieger had no apparent cause
to even think Of suicide. Mr.. Catlin,
who went to Kansas City with Sieger
says that when they parted about
o'clock that night, Sieger appeared to
be in perfect health and to be content
ed and happy. The people here do not
believe that he was given poison or
glass while here There is no jealous
woman in the case here and no excuse
for any one to want TO kill him.

JENKS' DIVISION PLAN.
In Reapportionment Would Change
Only Two Districts.

Chairman jerks of the house congress
sional appOrtionment committee has in
troduced another congressional appor-
tionment bill altogether different from
any which has yet appeared. His idea
is to have all the districts as they are
at present except the Third and Seventh,
and to carve the new district out of
these two. He would take Cowley, Elk
and Chautauqua counties from the
Third and Sedgwick Harvey, Sumner
and Harper from the Seventh for the
new district.
Il think if the state is reapportioned
at all it win have to be along this line, "
said Mr. jerks today I don't believe
an agreement can be reached in any
other manner. Both the Third and the
Seventh districts have more than their
proportion Of population now and both
are growing. My idea is to make these
districts little under the required
population, because they will soon grow
to it
This sort of an apportionment would
leave the Third with 1885, the old Sew
enth with 1924, and the new district
with 155 1888.

THE SUPERINTENDENT MILL

Quite a discussion has arisen as to
whether it should be called the Smith
Waggener mill. or the Waggener-S Smith
mill. It is cOntended by many that the
order in which the names are used in
dicetes a winner. For instance, the late
disturbance was called the spanish
American war. which would indicate
that the last-named party is a winner
Another specimen of the same is the
late Franco-Prussian war Then there
is the Chinko-JaDo war which occurred
some ten years ago, and the rule holds
good. The few who take the other side
call UP the latest war, which they call
the AnglO-Boer war, and call the atten-
ton of the other gang to the fact that
the name of Boer comes last. but that
nation did not prevail. The first-named
faction bounce back by declaring that
the Beers were not really whipped any
how.
At any rate the outsiders declare that
Smith and Waggener will mix some
time until the affair viii be known to
history as THE Great Wagg- Smithner
Mill .

TOY BALLOON
Caught in Child's Throat and Clicked
Him to Death.

Pittsburg Feb. 17.-Joseph Antkowick,
a pupil at the Polish school on South
Fifteenth street was playing about the
school yard with several companions.
He had a little toy balloon of the kind
which, after blowing up. makes a noise
as the air escapes This he put to his
mouth and started TO run across the
yard.
He fell and the balloon was forced
down his throat. He choked and his
companions notified the sisters in charge
of the school, who summoned Dr.. Riggs.
The doctor attempted to get the balloon
out of the childs throat with instru-
ments. but failed and it slipped further
down. The boy died while the doctor
