Will Resume Work,

E. S. Kinney, superintendent of
the Big Buffalo mine, arrived here
Tuesday and left yesterday for the
Hump where he goes to resume
work on that property. The Big
Buffalo mill shut down some time
ago and the report was circulated
that the property was worked out.
However, no one familiar with the
mine believed it, and it is more
than probable that the present
operations will be much more ex-
tensive than anything done hereto
fore. The old workings have been
left to cave in and it is rumored
that they will be abandoned and a
long tunnel driven from Sheep
creek, but nothing definite is
known as the management is very
reticent about giving out informa-
tiOn.

, COUNTY, IDAHO, THURSDAY, JULY g. r9o,
Activity at Elk.

The mining activity in Elk City
seems to be growing and from
present indications there will be a
great deal of work done there this
season. A correspondent to the
Spokane Review Of July 4th re-
ports the following:
Joseph Bondero and j. l.. John.
son of the Elk City Mining & Mill
ing Co., the property of which is
on Red Horse creek, were in town
this week and report things as look.
ing very encouraging just now.
They have about 80 feet depth in
the shaft now and three feet OF ore
showing gold clear across. While
sinking they encountered six large
quarts boulders weighing about Is
or 100 pounds which were streaked
with free gold. There is forty
foot tunnel on the property, with
three feet of ore the full length of
the tunnel. They are now INSTALL
ing pump and will sink at least
100 feet more.

b. S. Bartholf, who is interested
with D. M. Drumheller of Spokane
in some claims on Seigel creek, near
the American Eagle mine, came in
a few days ago, accompanied by
his family, and will put in the sum-
mer in developing their property.
Development work in the new
district known as the Yetter district
is progressing well, frank Steckner
M. Thorne and John Dawkins have
about IS feet of tunnel on their
property, They have eight feet of
good ore in the tnnel and expect to

made cash payment, will return
from the east soon to commence
work.
w. F. Johnson and E. J. Com

reported from the Yetter district,
are still working on their property,
which continues to improve with
depth in the shaft.

Work on Last Chance,

Dan Greenwalt and wife arrived
from Florence last week to OBJ
tain supplies for the Last Chance
placer property, and incidentally
to help celebrate the national holi-
day. Mr.. Greenwalt has had a
crew at work for some time and
will soon have the most completely
equipped hydraulic mining propo-
sition in this part Of the state.
Five miles of ditch have beed dug
and 500 feet of 9-inch pipe line to
furnish water for the giants, to-
gether with dwelling houses and
other necessary improvements ts.
The Last Chance is one of the big
placer properties that has lain for
years from lack Of the necessary
capital TO exploit them. The com
pany which now owns them is
called the Miners Grub Stake
Company OF New York, and owns
an immense amount of valuable
ground which will insure large re.
turns for many years to come. A
great deal of this ground is enor-
mously rich, five to seven dollars
per pan obtained on the bedrock
occasionally, and it will soon be
proven that all the money in the
Florence basin has not yet been
washed out. Mr.. Greenwalt ia
highly elated at the outlook for
the exploitation of the best placer
proposition in this part of the
state.

Six Months In Jail.

Sheriff Seay brought D. A. Har-
ness and Asa Newell over from
Cottonwood Tuesday to serve six
months in Jail and pay d fine of
$500 each for violating the laws of
the land. Harness was convicted
on a charge of malicious mischief
in which he seems to have gotten
gloriously drunk and start g d
through the country shooting at
every thing in sight until he killed
a horse for John Crea and came
near shooting two or three people.
Newell had sold whisky to an
Indian who in turn had created a
disturbance in Cottonwood.

To Improve Streets.

City Engineer w. G. McNutt
has been instructed by the city
council to establish the grade and
make an estimate Of the cost OF
macadamizing Main street from B.
L. Crosby's store east to the brew
cry. This would cover four blocks
and include practically all Of the
business portion of the street. Mr..
McNutt will perform the work
at once and the council will prob
ably take some action in the mat
ter at their next meeting. The
seasons are so short here that it
will be necessary to rush the work
with all possible haste in order to
have it completed before the fall
rains set in.

BUFFALO HUMP
IS A LIVELY CAMP
Honey Is Brought Out Each Month BY
the Thousands.
EASTERN CAPITALISTS GOING In
snow, Rain and Mud Does
Not Check Travel.

There has been great deal of
snow fallen in the Hump country
lately. On the 3rd about three feet
fell and there has also been a heavy
rain fall, but still the travel to and
from that section continues to in
crease. Tuesday morning Louis
Dahl, Frank Brown, s. G. Olson.
George Filler and his son, Dave, ali
stockholders in the Jumbo, left for
the Hump and will return about
the first of next week. They are
going in to look over the property
and to lay plans for faster work.
An upriaise will be started from be-
low and between the two main
working tunnels and run 300 feet
to the surface. The new mill will
sood be completed and IA STAN ps
put in operation. As soon as all
the machinery can be taken in
there will be 80 stamps at work.
The 4-stamp mill now at work on
the Jumbo pounded out $4,000 of
the yellow metal in a run of %
days last month. i.
Electricity For Cracker Jack.
Claud Flint came out from the
Cracker Jack and brought $500
with him as a result of the last
months work. He also attended
meeting of the board of directors,
at which time arrangements were
completed for greatly increasing
the working facilities.
They purchased the water rights
formerly held by the Light Il Pow
er company, and have already sent
men in to make all necessary sur.
veys and estimates preparatory to
installing electric power. They can
generate $50 horse power and all
that is not needed in operating the
Cracker Jack can be readily sold
to other mines, thus making the
electric plant one Of the most val
liable assets of the company. A
cya0ide plant and machine drills
will be put in and these, with the
five additional stamps now on the
way, 1t is estimated will require
75 horse power. All this work
will be pushed as fast as money
and men can do it and it is expect
ed to have everything completed
before the snow flies. In order not
to be delayed for want of funds,
the company has placed $4,000
shares of treasury stock on the
market which will be sold at 20
cents share. That it is q good
buy at that price is best evidenced
by the fact that over 81, 900 shares
have been sold to local parties this
week.

Saturday ten caaloads of horses, which
he gathered from the surrounding coun-

200 head gathered in the West. A sale
OF Western horses is made by this firm
every two weeks until December. Mr..
Clay made the statement that the
market is steady and prices good for fat
horses, but that poor horses do not net
much te the sellers, consequently those
owning horses would do better to fatten
them at home before selling. Horses
are much better pay this season than
cattle, and there is a steady demand for
good stock.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
it and set the matter right.

War Seems Sure.

London, Sept. ESPECIAL dispatches
from the near East, published here this
morning add little fresh news regarding
the situation in the Balkans. All the
correspondents at Constantinople en-
phasize the apparent danger of war with
Bulgaria. while the Sofia correspondents
are equally insistent as to the prudent
and correct attitude of Prince Ferdinand
and his Government.
Accounts from both Turkish and insur-
gent sources of the operations in Mace
donia show that the work of extermina-
ton is proceeding unchecked, and, al
though apparently emphasizing the
danger of confgration, the powers are
making little effort to interfere 1t is
believed that nothing of serious nature
Will be done until after the meeting of
the Gar and Emperor Francis Joseph
at Vienna, when it may be too late.
The insurgents are now said to num-
Der 25O0 well-armed and efficiently COM
manded men. Their leaders will stop
at nothing to secure resources for their
equipment.
A dispatch to the Times from Monastir,
dated September 5, says:
'In Turkish circles war with Bulgaria
is considered to be imminent. Hilmi
Pasha. Inspector General of Macedonia
says he sees no other solution. The
final reserves are being warned to hold
themselves in readiness, and orders
have been issued to the principal towns
to supply horses and money and other
wise aid the military preparations.
"In the teverish attempt to stamp out

reason to suspect that an attempt is be-
ing made to produce the indiscriminate
slaughter of the Bulgarian element in

are in danger of being treated alike.

Minister Leishman at Constantinope
in which he says a riot occurred Thurs
day night at Beirut, in which sever
Christians were killed and several
wounded. Two houses occupied by
Christians were pillaged by the soldiers.
The panic was general.
The Balkau situation becomes graver

Christians at Beirut and the powers are
now thoroughly alarmed.
Admiral Cotton will land marines at
Beirut, if necessary, to protect the
lives of Americans Several of the
powers contemplate sending fleets to
Turkish waters.
The barbarty of the Turks in Mace.

move is to fire the forests in which l5O,-
