that have taken place In the Holy Land,
the multitude of cities, villages and
towns, the countless millions who have
been born there and whose bones now

Herbert Spencer once won Il curious
wager. He was staying for fishing
holiday in the house of Sir Francis
Powell. the president Of the Scottish
academy, and while angling for trout
he happened to drop his eyeglasses into
a deep pool of the river. In the even
ing he related his misadventure to his
host and the guests, and said that he
was prepared to bet that he would re-
cover the pince-nez from the bottom Of
the pool. His friends declared that
this was an impossible feat but Her
bert Spencer still offered to make the
bet His challenge was accepted by
one Of the visitors. Upon the following
evening Spencer returned to the house
with the missing eyeglasses. He had
fastened strong magnet on the end
Of his fishing line and fished for the
glasses until it came into contact with
their steel rims.

THUNDER MT. ROAD
Contractors Say 1t viii Be Completed
by September /.

D., w. Cooper, the head of the con-
struction company. having the contract
for the building of the wagon road into
Thunder Mountain, left this morning to
look after the work, says the Boise
Capital News. The route over which it
is proposed to build the road has not yet
been fully determined, Mr.. Johness' in
terview in morning paper to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Mr.. Cooper said
this morning that he could not say just
what route would be taken but that he
believed that everything would be arnic-
ably adjusted and that the road would
be completed by the first of September.
B. R. L. Postum left several days ago
with crew of men and supplies to COM
mence work where it was left off last
fall, and it is expected that he has al
ready commenced. Two 6-horse teams
started out yesterday with IL, 900 pounds
of supplies for the men engaged on the
work. Accompanying them were twelve
men, who will complete the crews who
will be engaged on the work until it is
completed. Mr.. Cooper left on the stage
this morning and will overtake the
wagons on the road to accompany them
into the camp.
Mr.. Hall, another one of the contrac-
tors, will leave about the first of July
with more supplies and to remain on the
job until it is completed. There is an
urgent need for the completion
of Il the road as there are several
outfits of machinery ready to be taken
in as soon as the road is completed. 1t
should have been finished last fall, but
owing to the dilatory tactics which have
characterized the entire Morrison adj
ministration, the completion of the road
was deferred until this year. An cleo
ton is now drawing close and the gov
ernor sees the necessity of having it
completed in time to secure the votes of
the Thunder Mountain people. Other
wise it would drag along indefinitely.

Pleasures of Prospecting.

With the arrival of summer comes
also the annual season for prospecting,
apd already throughout the districts of
the west, the rough and-ready men of
the trail, upon whom the mining indus
try most depends, are hieing for the
mountains, for the deep woods, for the
desert. Nothing can stop them-neither
summers heat nor winters cold; icy
crags or clustering plains-all are alike
to the seekers for gold.
Prospecting is pleasure as we'll as an
art, and great many slaves of the city
office dirt and grim would do well to
pack grub kit and hit the trail-pros-
pect.a while, taste the genuine freedom
of the mountaineer, breathe Gods pure
ozone of the outer world, roll up in a
blanket and sleep next the earth, drink
pure water and black coffee, and eat
fapjacks and bacon and beans. 1t will
do any man good, whether he strikes a
bonanza in the nature of golden treas
ure or not, for he is sure to receive
natures tan of health and vigor and
come home reincarnated.
Prospecting, like many other phases
of the gold-getting business, is an art,
and to become proficient in it requires
considerable experience. However, the
old-time prospector will tell you that a
fool can find a ledge where the wisest
man of the pan and rocker has failed.
"Gold is where you find it," and it does
not matter very much who looks for it,
as its discovery often falls to the lot of
the most initiated. But it is well to
make study either from books, and by
the aid of samples, or from some one
well posted upon the character and for
nation of the more common ores. A
little study of this kind will come well
in hand when you begin to use your
hand-pick in the mountains.
l. Of course it must be well understood
before starting that to go prospecting
you must leave your auto behind. You
must be willing to rough it and dine
upon '.camp sinkers" of your own or
your partners cooking for several
weeks. You must remember that you
will be deprived of the opportunity of
swearing at the cook for making the
beans too salty, or for frying the bacon
too hard, as the usual rule is to turn the
duties of cooking over to the man who
first complains about the grub. The
prospector must content himself with
one or two tough Indian ponies-c ayuses
for carrying the pack. If it is posi-
BILE get a burro, Jas he is the best ami
NAL for the purpose. The burro will
never stray far from camp, will carry
his load patiently and willingly, will eat
anything from chaparral brush to scrub
oak leaves, and Will go anywhere man
can go except up tree.
The pack should be complete but
never made burdensome with "duff1e"
not absolutely necessary. The grub kit
consists, first, of a coffee pot and frying
pan. Then there is the bag of flour
and the beans-always beans. Space
must also be made for small cans of salt
and soda. Sugar is not needed, though
