Barge Goes Down.

The efforts Of the Ladd Metals
Company to transport fire brick
and other material to the proposed
site Of their smelter at Homestead, =,
via the Snake river, has proved a
failure. A barge load of fire brick
was started down the river the
other day. At Sturgill bar, below
Huntington, the barge struck a
rock and went to pieces. The brick
were lost and the men on board
had hard struggle to save their
lives.
1t was a mere chance that the
barge reached the Sturgill rapids
before going down. II it had shot
those rapids in safety there are 9TH
ers where the danger is equally as
great. The barge had aboard about
four ton of fire brick when she
struck the rock, and our informant
AYERS that she crushed like an egg
shell and so quickly that the men
has no time to think of saving
themselves until they were in the
water.

MOTHER LODE ALL RIGHT
General Manager Louis Smith
Doing Good Work.

The fact that the development
work now proceeding in the Bnffa-
10 Hump district of this country is
showing up more than satisfactor-
lily to the owners of mining claims
where work is going on is made
apparent by the showing made in
the past few days upon the Mother
Lode and Louise claims in that
great district. These two claims
were located during the stampede
of 1898 by Louis Smith. They
are situated to the southeast of the
Big Buffalo and northeast of the
Jumbo mines, and cover the dis
tance between Bear lake and Ruby
lake. This is the largest ledge in
a district famous for large lodges,
and the belief is general that it
was not misnamed when Its locator
decided that he had the sure
enough Mother Lode Of the dis
trict. The owners recently let a
contract to Geo. Baker and Geo.
Davis for driving 16O feet of tun-
mel on the Louise, and this work
they have nearly completed in 80
days, thus showing that the forma-
tion is soft and easily worked.
When the boys started in on their
work, the pay streak was only
eight inches wide after driving a
distance Of 81 feet they crosscut to
the vein and found the pay had
widened to three feet, and at 1OO
feet it had again widened out to
eight feet, all of which was good
pay ore. The ledge, according to
surface showings, is fully IS feet
wide, but the tunnel driven this
summer was projected along the
foot wall and no effort was made
to crosscut to the hanging wall.
The foot wall is granite, but the
formation of the hanging wall if
not yet definitely known. The
ore found in the present workings
is very free, and resembles the ores
Of Florence, and carries some hem
attic.
Upon the Mother Lode work i,
now progressing by tunnel, and a
distance of 80 feet the men hat
encountered some very rich sulph
ide ore, similar in character to tn,
average ores of Buffalo Hump
The showing ON both claims is 81
satisfactory that the owners con
template starting a tunnel from
Ruby lake clear through to Beal
lake. distance of 5000 feet, which
will give depth of 900 feet below
the grass roots. The owners
of these valuable properties ar,
Louis Smith, Frank Brown ant
Norman & Cameron of Spokane
with the former as manager. From
present indications the Mother
Lode and Louise claims are goins
to make two of the big mines in ,
camp famous for it's big things.

BRAIN TUMOR OPERATION
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Vincent
ConvalesCing.

SOIlVoi0SCIHSs
The many friends of Deputy
Sheriff Jos. Vincent will be pleased
to learn that he is convalescing
nicely from his operation of Tues
day morning at the Gary hospital.
The operation was one for tu-
NOR of the brain, requiring the re-
moval of a section of the skull (by
trephining) and the insertion of a
silver plate, thus affording the re-
lief of such pressure rs would en-
anate from this growth. The tu-
NOR was found to lie three-quar-
ters of an inch in front of, what is
known to the anatomist as, the
Rolandic or motor area, which pas
ses downward and forward from a
point one-half iuch posterior to the
center of the median line Of the
craneum, and controls the motor
functions of the body. 1t is the
seat of a large percentage of all
brain tumors; however, in this
instance the predisposing fact
or was, probably, blow which
Mr.. Vincent received some l2
years since.
DR.. Campbell performed the
operation and DR.. Shaeffer admin
istered the anaesthetic.
Residents of Grangeville and Vi
cinity should now commence to
appreciate the Importance and
benefits Of a hospital, since in such
cases the private home can at best
afford but poor accommodations,
and asepsis is practically impossi-
BILE. Let us hope that Mr.. and
Mrs. Gary will decide upon Grange.

their hospital.
