Senator Quay, who died recently,
sent a message to Roosevelt before
his death in which he told him
that the republicans had one OF
the hardest fights, ever known,
before them this year. Qnay was
II of the most astute of polltl-
t~iciaus and made few mistakes as a
prophet of his party's success or
failure. He also advised Roose-
Welt against making Cortelyou his
campaign manager. Quay is dead
but we trust that his prophetic
vision may turn out to be well
founded.

A TOWNSHIP DEAL.
Rumored Purchase by Chas. Sweeney
of Part of Harpster.

The Lewiston Tribune of May says:
The rumored purchase of townsite
at Harpster by Charles Sweeney and
the ultimate extension of the Northern
Pacific road as a logical result, as dis
cussed in yesterdays Tribune, created
much interest in the mining circles yes
terday and brought forth new features
of the case that strengthen the rumor.
Miners who have been in close touch
with the operations In the upper country
state that the management of the Dew
ey mine has been in telephone commun-
ication with Mr.. Sweeney at frequent
intervals for the past few weeks and it
is generally believed that the Harpster
extension has been assured the Dewey
people, and that the wagon road now
under construction is the result of this
assurance.
1t is also stated that the building of
the line would explain the building of a
telephone line to the Dewey mine by
Harpster capital, 1t was yesterday
learned that the present visit of Frank
Brown, manager of the jun bo mine,
and Louis Dahl, we'll known Buffalo
Hump miner, into the mining district is
in the interests of the new road. 1t is
positively stated that Messrs. Brown
and Dahl will visit the miners in the
country to be served by the proposed
road up the South Fork and ascertain
how much money can be secured from
the mine owners. The matter will ther
be brought to the attention of the state
and an appropriation will be asked a
the next session of the legislature tx
assist in the building of the road. 1t i:
stated that the building of the proposed
water grade from Harpster into tn,
Hump would lesson the freight charges
by more than one-half and that the roaS
would be in condition for all kinds O.
teaming at all seasons of the year TIL,
route would also be several miles short
er than the route now travelled.
Mr.. Sweeney is receiving the entir
support of all the mining interests. il
the road extension movement and a
the building of the railroad to Harpste
would be of comparatively small ex
pense it is believed that the line will b
constructed during the summer.

The Hogan Mill Starts Up.

The Crooked River Company's prop

2, after being idle for six months, dur
ing which time some important changes
have been made in the personnel of the
company and in the mill equipment,
particularly in the plate area which
has been more than doubled, an i'm
provement suggested to Mr.. Hogan by
observation of the Homestake methods,

though the Crooked River Company's S
property is little more than past the ex-
perimental stage as to the treatment of
the ore, it is safe to say it will be a
dividend payer before the summer is

The French Group.

Andrew Prader returned from a trip
to Clearwater station this week, whece
he went to inspect the French group
for Peter Proulx, one of the owners.
While the pIoperty was not in condi-
tion for very thorough investigation,
Mr.. Prader saw enough to give him a
decidedly favorable impression. He
describes the ore as being the only alb
solutely free milling ore he has encoun-
tered in this part of Idaho. Mr.. Proulx
intends intend doing some more work on this this

THE HERCULES GROUP.
Tho Ledge Exposed on the Surface for
Two thousand Feet.

Ralph Middleton and w. F. Johnson,
who have been prospecting the surface
ground along the course of their main
ledge report the most encouraging re-
suits. This property was bonded to w.
H. Adams, of Spokane, last summer.
During the late autumn and winter con-
siderable development work was done,
consisting of tunnel Ga in the
clear and 375 feet long, with an acquir-
ed depth at the breast of the tunnel of
23O feet, but they failed to find the
ledge they were running for, although
three other very fair ore bodies were
crossed. About this time a payment
was due, but the parties failed to come
to the scratch and the property revert
ed to the vendors, who continued the
work until satisfied that the tunnel was
not driven far enough to intersect the
ore body. With the object of verifying
this impression and removing all rea-
sonable doubt, they exposed the ledge
at various points along its course for a
distance Of 1000 feet and made a new
survey and were rather astonished tc
find that their tunnel was about 15C
feet too short assuming the ledge to be
vertical, but as the ledges in that par
ticular system all have an easterly diT
it is probable they will encounter the
ore body at lesser distance. Wher
completed this tunnel will give deptf
of 300 feet approximately.
The ledge as exposed on the surface
shows width ranging from two and {
half feet to five feet the entire 200'
feet. The assay values run from s4.6t
to s140 in gold. While the ore is with
out doubt sulphide in character it pam
very freely.
The group comprises six claims, thre,
in length and three parallel and is wei
equipped with mining timber for al
purposes. The fortunate owners o
this valuable property are all prospec
tors and miners of extended experienc
in the mountains; they are Ralph Mid
dleton, the discoverer, w. F. Johnso
and E. J. Comley, his partners.

IN THE HUMP CAMP.
A Budget on Late News From The
Lewiston Tribune.

Hump, April 27. April 26 was Odd
Fellows anniversary and preparations
had been in progress for some time to
make it an event in the camp, The
early part of the evening was taken up
with a meeting of the order but at 10
o'clock an adjournment was taken to
the Hotel Buffalo, where under the
able management of Mr.. Cy Leitch and
wife an ample repast had been prepared:
After few remarks by E. M. Watson,
Mr.. Leitch and others, supper was
served. A hearty invitation had been
extended to every one in camp and "a
sat down to a splendid repast. The
phonograph, loaned by the Hump Brew
ing Co., discoursed sweet music and
every one had splendid time. After
supper the floor was cleared and dane
ing was indulged in till a. m. Every
mine in camp sent its representative.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jay came from the Jum-
bo; Nick McGree from the Cracker
jack and a few from everywhere.
Everyone is loud in their praise of the
event as everyone forgot self in making
his neighbor enjoy himself.
Mr.. E. ]. Garvin returned to camp

hurry up his dynamo. This came in to-
day and as everything is in place at the

The bishop was forced TO retire TO the
