The republican state committee which
met at Boise last week decided on Mos
COW as the place and August 10 as the
date for holding the convention to NOM
mate a state ticket. The appoction-
ment is two delegates at large and one
for each 100 votes or majority fraction
thereof cast for the republican candi-
date for secretary of state in 1902. Ada
county has the largest number, with &c.
North Idaho counties are as follows:

The people of Elk City are making
a splendid effort toward securing the
adjustment of a portion of the Bitter
Root forest reserve and are certainly
deserving of success. Senator Dubois
has charge of the matter at Washington
and believes the peoples petitions will
be granted. Relieved from the reserve
bureau, the mining camps Of Elk City,
Dixie and Buffalo Hump, would make
greater progress in me year than they
now can in five. -Grangeville Free

Hump, Jan. 81. Especial to the Tri-
bune. AFTER IA days of hard labor,
Joe Dizard pulled his sleigh to the jun
DO today. Yesterday the wind ceased
and the sun and moon are doing all they
can to make perfect weather.
At the Jumbo the new crusher was
started the 25th. Everything is work
ing very nicely" said Mr.. Jay, but
we have to take things easy as our belt
for TIE crashcr Is somewhere between
Grangeville and here and our 4-inch
belt lacks service. The new 10-stamps
will be dropping by the first of Febru-
ary."
At the Crackerjack some splendid ore
has been uncovered but not much actual
work is being done owing to the delay
in getting the receiver for the compress
sor. This is at the station between
Adams camp and Moore's. Two veins
have been cut and drifted on, one of IL
feet and the second showing 26 feet of
ore by actual crosscut. The third, or
main lead, is still 70 feet in from the
end of the crosscut tunnel. AS soon as
the compressor is installed, machine
drills will be at work on this 70 feet
and three large bodies of ore, almost
parallel, viii be in sight, each large
enough in itself to make a. mine. The
electricity is made and has been fully
tested.
At the Del Rio the tunnel is now in
235 feet and a crosscut east and west to
the wall will be run at $50 feet. Bunch
es of quartz are found all through the
ground being taken out and ore should
be encountered in paying quantities in
the next SO feet.
Several new companies have been
formed here since Jan. LIST, but no work
is being done on the properties at pres

with guess, the matter is briefly dis
missed with some such phrase as Gin

Investors are no longer paying for
engineers guesses; as a heavy mining
investor remarked to us, che could do
his w guessing" A well-balanced
judgment, based on accurately ascer-
tanned facts and the careful application
of a broad experience to engineering
problems has, on the other hand, a
great and increasing value.

Judgement In Mine Management.

1t was a favorite and often repeated
dictum of philosophy that the human
being is prone to deceive himself with
phrases. In no more particular is that
dictum true when we commence to
speak of judgment, says the Mining
Reporter. In a report, which we had
to wade through recently, the word
judgment occurred with great frequen-
cy. The writer of the report seemed
afraid at any time to come out fat-foot-
ed and state that so and so was Or was
not the case; but always, gin my judg-
ment it was or was not
In the report alluded to it was abso-
lutely necessary to get a guage, so to
speak, on what the writer meant by
judgment. In dealing with a very i'm
portant phase of the matter the report
stated, Sin my judgment, it may be
Conservatory estimated that" etc. 1t
was a point on which we had absolute
knowledge, and if the conservative es-
innate were cut in two it still would
be to high. The writer had simply
made a wild guess; but by calling it
judgment, had really deceived himself
into believing it such.
We have been examining with care
all the literature ~appertaining to a GER
tain phase of the mining industry. In
the earlier literature the writer's would
would apparently make wild guesses
and bluntly state them as facts. The
more recent writers went through
about the same mental process, but
more circumspeetly stated that in their
Judgment such and such were facts.
1t is to be feared that a good old word
has been abused to such an extent that
it nc longer means what it formerly
expressed, Today it is used too fire.
quently to ove up careless, ~slovenly
thinking or mental sloth.
We are assured by quite a number OF
writers that, for example, the cost OF
extracting unmined ore, the number OF
cubic feet per ton in place, the value OF
q mine, etc., are all matters of judg-
ment. So, in a degree, as in the fnal
analysis, they are; but they ought new
err to be matters of unaided Judgment.
For example, before coming to a judg-
ment as to the value of a mine the en-
gineer viii spend weeks, or ever
months, with a corps Of assistants, pa
tiently sampling, measuring and col.
Letting and analizing facts before com
ing to a conclusion, or a true, bona fde
judgment. Surely the greater contains
the less, and hence the engineer should
not be too free in using his unaideo
Judgment in such important matters as
estimating working expenses or in cen.
verting volume Of ore into weight.
AS a result of our study we have no
ticed that ALMOST without exception
where a judgment has been carefully
arrived at the basis or lines of reason

The mayor and board Of public
works met this morning, with Con
tractor +. G. Terrell and inspected
Fourth street from Jefferson TO Ken
lucky avenue. but the street will not
BE- open before tomorrow.
Mayor Yei.er said that the board
decided to follow the provisions Of
the law and advertise to the property
owners for inspection. The property
owners sre given one day TO look the
street over and'to enter any objections
they might have 10 make, aud in case
no objections are lodged, the street
will be thrown open.
The inspection will be made tomor.
row. and Mayor Yeiser says the street
will undoubtedly then be- thrown open.
There hsye been some few complaints
| 10 ICED against the work but not by
property owners.
Mr. Terrell stated Of the work,
that If any faul, is found, it can not
/ BE- attri buted TO him, ~ he did every
thing he was instructed to, and in
event any objections are lodged they
will go against the city engineer and
the inspectors the city employed to
[ look after the work, and see that it
was done right.
The street car company A. well As
the public in general, is anxious Ia
get the street open.
Il is understood that there is lis.
pute between Contractor Terrell and
city as to who finally passes oa the
work, the general council or the board
Of public works. When the contract
was let the board Of works had not
been established. and Contractor Ter
rell claims the general council, which
let the contract, should also pass on
its execution.
The board Of public works, on tn,
other hand, ella ms that when n wa.
1 created, all such work uuder the law
passed into It's hands. IL hiss no par.
ticular desire, It is understood, 10

ply wants TO discharge its duty under
the law If this is its duty. The ques.
ton will probably come up later.

IF POSSIBLE, AVOID A LAWSUIT.

IF POSSIBLE, AVOID A LAWSUIT.
There have been innumerable kicks
against the seven blocks Of brick
street Just completed ever since the
work began nearly a year ago, but
they did no good. The work is done
at last, however. and il it has TO be
paid for. it might IS well be paid for
without any litigation.
Going to law is costly, and besides,
the city always loses. The Broadway
brick street suit was lost although
the street has never yet been received,
and the city had to pay every dollar Of
the contract price, although IL was a
botch job, and not . particle Of the
repairs specified in the contract to be
kept up for FIVE years after compile
ton, has ever been made.
In the present contract the city had
its engineer, inspector and others, who
stood by and watched the work, and il
the city didn't get good job, while it
should not have 10 pay for it, il
doubtless will have II TO DO, and de-
laying it by lawsuits will only mske
it more expensive to the taxpayers. II
the work is not substantial and salts
factory, the taxpayers have only the
city officials to thank for it. These
officials were elected by a majority OF
voters, and if they prove a costly in
vestment to the taxpayers,it will only
be another case of paying the fiddler
II the work is not satisfactory, and
the city is advised it will not have ii
to pay for, It should refuse to pay the
balance. II the city is advised that
it has to pay for it good or bad, on
the other hand, as it had to pay fer
Broadway, it should do so without q
lawsuit, for the people do not care to
be Inundated by adding another to
the long list of lawsuits already lost
by the city.
