MINES AND FORESTS RICH
IN NATURAL RESOURCE

Within short distance of Payette
are many splendid opportunities for
engaging in quartz and placer mining.
Within driving distance are located
the ''Trade Dollar Consolidated
Mines on the Owyhee mountains,
which. are among the most profitable
in the state, having yielded for several
years in succession net income Of
one-half million dollars a year. There
are doubtless many others, equally
valuable, awaiting development. Pearl
and Willow Creek, a new mining
camp, is within forty miles of .Payette,
where there are several promising
mines and prospects.
The output in the year 1897, of gold,
silver and lead was nearly $15,000,000,
and is increasing at the rate Of about
Is per cent annually. There has been
a general awakening in the mining in
dustry in this state the last year.
Idaho now ranks fifth in the United
States as a gold, silver and lead pro-
Queer. The mountains and hills have
immense quantities of gold, silver, cop
per, iron, lead, coal, and rich deposits
of sulphur, fine marble, opal fields,
beds of jasper onyx, and other pre-
cious minerals. There is no question
but that Idaho offers as great induce
ments to prospectors and mine invest
ors as any mining section, not except
| ing Nome, British Columbia, or any
| part of the Rocky Mountains.
Boundless Tracts of Timber.
On the middle, north and south
forks of the Payette river there are al
most boundless tracts of magnificent
timber, affording some splendid lum.
Der propositions. The timber can be
readily foated down the river to Pay.
into lumber. There is ready sale
near at home for much Of the stock
and the remainder can be shipped tt
advantage to the markets Of thu

Any citizen can take 100 acres un

\ The timber on the Payette consist
of the following varieties: About 4

recently been opened at the upper en-
OF the Payette valley, not far from tn

ing SHOWS in the timber on the noun
tains and hills tributary to the Pay
cite river There is enough water
flowing from the Payettes lakes into
the river to irrigate thoroly every acre
Of land in the valleys. Added to this
is the immense water sheds, formed
of melting SHOWS in the mountains
and hills. There is no question but
that this water supply is double any
emergency in any year.
One does not have to "sleep awake
nights nor worry his. life out in the
day, for fear Of too much or too little.
water.
One needs to see and investigate
the water supply in the Payette river
to appreciate the unsurpassed volume
for the irrigation of lands tributary
to the Payette and Snake river val
leys.
Good water is found. in wells, some
being dug, but mostly driven wells,
at depth of twenty to forty feet.
Soil Will Never Wear Out.
! The soil is similar to that Of Italy,
being an alluvial sandy loan, with
an underlying stratum Of basalt,
which makes it exceedingly fertile,
and by applying irrigating waters,
tains and hillsides the wash or sedi-
ment, the soil is continually enriched.
| With the continual application Of
these waters, carrying this fertilizer,
comes a soil which will never wear
| out, but becomes richer constantly,
and is susceptible Of raising the finest
i and most prolific crops each year.
/ 1t is difficult to make the eastern
! farmer realize the enormity of the
| crops which, on an average, under
this system Of farming. yield as much
4 from one acre as Is secured in humid
| districts from -four acres.
In order to see the beautiful and
sequestered Payette valley, it is nee
essary to leave the train at Payette
and traverse the valley for several
miles up and down the river. Here
the desert, which first greeted the
early settlers and dissuaded many OF
them from grasping the riches lurking
4 in the rich and productive soil be-
i meath it's mantle Of sage brush, has
almost disappeared, and in it's place
there are now hundreds of modern
homes of prosperous, up-to-date
| farmers and fruit-growers, beautiful
I green fields of alfalfa, clover and the
ever-changing shades Of waving grain
land blooming orchards There are
also numerous Ave and ten-acre tracts
covered with melons, the celebrated
Payette valley canta1oupes. and other
!, products Of the truck gardens, from
which many a home Is supplied with
all its necessities and even luxuries.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES
For the Human Body in Health
And Disease.

The mention of sulphur will recall
I TO many of us the early days when
our mothefs and grandmotheTs gave
| az our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
, lasses every sprine and fall -
II was the universal Spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old fashioned rem
| edy was not without merit
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
4 quantity had TO be taken to get any
! effect
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
! effects of sulphur in paiatable, con-
! centrated form. so that a single grain
! is far more effective than a tablespoon
/ full of the crude sulphur
IN recent years. research and ex-
| pertinent have proven that the best
! sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
| tanned from Calcium Calcium Sui
phide) and sold in drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate-coated pei
lets and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated. effective form
Few people are aware of the value
of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
| health Sulphur acts, directly on the
/ liver and excretOry organs, and purifies
and enriehes the blood by the prompt
elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall but the
crUdity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
! the modern concentrated preparations
Of sulphur, of which Stuarts Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
DR.. r. NJ wilkins, while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies, soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was SUI
! perior TO any other FORM He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from cOnssi-
patton or malaria, 1 have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium Waters. In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep seated carbuncles, / have
repeatedly seen them dry UP and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuarts Calcium Waters is a DroDri-
etary article, and sold by druggists
and for that reason tabOOed by many
! physicians. yet ! know of nothing so
| safe and reliable for constipation liver
and kidney trouble, and especially in
all forms of skin disease, as this rem
edy."
At any rate people who are tired Of
! pills, cathartics and so-eahed blood
! purifiers viii find in Stuart's Cal
! eium Waters, a far safer, more pal
Stahle and effective preparation.

BULL VALLEY IRON.
DON C. Robbins Tells Why Deposits
Were Not Sooner Found.

Questioned concerning his trip down
to the iron mines of Bull valley, in
Washington county, with A. 3. Lewis,
Don G. Robbins yesterday stated that
he had no information concerning the
reported deals to give out.
"All | can say at this time" said Mr..
Robbins, is that there Is any quantity
of fine iron ore in that district, which
is twenty miles southwest of Iron
mountain. in Iron county. That the de-
pcsits have so long remained un-
touched and unnoticed is due. in my
opinion. to the physical characteristics
of the country. The mountains are very
precipitouS and the loose rock from
them has slipped down and in a meas
ure covered up the iron. To add to the
concealment and to make it all the
more uninviting to the prospector.
great masses of scrub oak and other
kinds of brush have grown uD in the.
loose stony country and made travel
through it practically out of the ques-
ton.
Within the last few years. and not
many Of them, either, fire has swept
off nearly all of the brush, and this
fact. / take it, is what was responsible
for the iron being finally noticed. The
hedges are very large and the iron is
undoubtedly all that has been claimed
for it. That something will be done
with it is certain, but when or how 1
am not prepared to say now"

CONDITIONS AT NEW YORK.
Manager McGill Makes a Statement
on the Subject.

You can saw for me-" said Man
daer NJ. J. McGill OF the New York
Bonanza yesterday. that there is alb
solutely no foundation for the report
that we intend to resume sinking in
the shaft either now or I'm the near
future, and not at all. so far as the
present management is concerned, I'M
iii the mine is able to bear the ex-
pense. We expect to go considerably
deeper in the winze now going down
from the 400-foOt level. The hoist in
stalled there is good for 500 feet with
bucket and. even though il was
not. IL would not cost a great deal to
install another donkey TO help it out
1t VIII be time enough TO talk of sink
ing the main shaft deeper when we
have the mine sufficiently opened and
proven uD to justify it."
Mr.. McGHl came down to attend the
regular monthly meeting of the direc-
tors, when was held Friday night He
said the Wine had attained depth
Of twenty-five feet below the 500 level
when he left home and that the drift
on the 600 was out about the same dis
lance. For that distance the high
grade streak has held continuous and
varied in thickness from eleven to
eighteen inches. with some good ore
making alongside, ore that was con-
sidcred good enough to save for ship
ment. The ore shoot is stronger in the
bottom OF the drift than il is above
and when the vein is opened lower
down he confidently expects an even
better showing than the 600 discloses.
ID was expected that the forty tons
of ore which has been hauled to the
Park City sampler would have gone
through the mill yesterday. but he was
advised during the afternoon that it
would not be sampled until today The
consignment VIII likely reach here to-
morrow and be sold Tuesday. Twenty
i've tons OF this ore, Mr.. McGill states,
came from the 500 level while fifteen
tons were taken from the 500 and in
the winze below that level, which has
only been run out a short distance.
What the ore will go Manager Nc
Gill said he WAS not prepared to say,
but he was willing that the figures
should De given 10 the public when
the consignment was sold He was
confident, however. that il would show
a substantial profit and he. also ex-
pressed the opinion that the mine was
now in shape TO pay its way without
having 10 call on the shareholders,
While he considered there was every
probability OF il doing even better than
that. He viii return 10 camp today.

BINGHAM MINES

Boston Con. Is Said to Be Head
ed For AmaIgamated Camp.
CONDITIONS AT NEW YORK
DULUTH MAN GETS COAL LANDS
AT SCoFIELD.

Every few days the news comes from
the east that Amalgamated Copper
interests are sparring for foothold
i'm Bingham. 1t has been reported that
the control Of Utah Consolidated was
being quietly acquired and that the
combination had its eye on Bingham
Con. and United States as we'll Some
OF these reports have apparently not
been altogether fOundationless, but il
has not appeared that control in any
Of them had been acquired.
The latest story is from Boston and
is TO the effect that the Amalgamated
company is considering the purchase
Of the Boston Consolidated with the
purpose as stated above. To substan-
tate it the declaration is made that
a Mr.. Wiley, one OF the Amalgamated
copper experts, has recently examined
the company's mines. and this fact
coupled with the fact that Samuel
Newhouse, the controlling factor in
Boston Con. has just relinquished his
claim against the company for a share
OF its earnings and taken cash for the
moneys advanced by him in develop
ing the mines. is taken TO mean that
a deal is probably pending and that
Mr.. NewhouSe is now I'm the east for
no other purpose than to take a hand
in its closing.
IT is also pointed out that a few
months since the management of the
Boston Consolidated was seriously con-
sidering the erection of it's own smeit-
er and large concentrating plant to
handle its cOpper-bearing porphyries,
of which it owns $50 acres. The plan
was suddenly dropped and instead $50
tons Of ore per day was contracted to
the Bingham smelter and the force at
the mine was materially increased in
order that developments might be
pushed. a year ago it was estimated
that there were 100000 tons of ore
blocked out; that the reserves have
been largely augmented there is no
doubt and the fasteners are now con-

MAY DAYS NEW ORE BODY.
Yankee Fissure Now Shows Thirty
Inches Of Fine Ore.

That conditions at the May Day are
constantly on the improve is the assur-
ance given by Secretary John Campbell.
He, was settling for another two car
loads of ore yesterday and stated that
three more were being loaded at the
mine
The most interesting feature of the
mines development at the present time
is what is termed the Yankee assure in
the eastern portion of the companys
grounds. One week ago it was stated
that the development in that fissure
was disclosing some nice ore mixed
with the quartz filling of the ledge.
There is now exposed two and one-half
feet of solid ore, much of which, MIR.
Campbell says, is galepa. The shoot
is opening up splendidly and dipping
strongly into the heart of May Day
ground. Every shifts work makes the
showing better and the belief exists
that the shoot is going to prove very
important one.
