To THE MINING MEN or WASHING
TON COUNTY
GENrLEMEN-The management of
the Idaho Inter Mountain Fair asso-
citation fully appreciate that one of
the chief industries of our state TO-
day, is that of mining. Every
county in the state being producer
of the precious metals, and we
greatly desire that.each county in the
state shall be represented at the
coming exposition at Boise, Oct. II
to %, 1904, and to this end we kind
ly ask and urge mining men in the
various counties, to at once desig-
nate one OF their number whose duty
it shall be to collect an exhibit which
will fairly represent the mining inter
ests and resources of their county and
forward to the secretary of the Fair
association. 1t will be hauled by
freight without cost to the owners,
ample space will be afforded for its
display and free admission will be
furnished your representative pro-

resources and advantages of your
county.

association.
This exposition is for the entire
state of Idaho and we believe that it
will afford the best and most practi-
cal means of bringing to the atten-
ton of the mining world, which Il
already directed toward Idaho, at
least a fair idea of our wonderful re.
sources.
Kindly communicate as soon as
possible with the secretary of this

ON FOREST RESERVES
SENATOR DUBOIS FURNISHES lNFOKMA'
TION THAT WILL BE OF
INTEREST.

the maximum which will not over
stock the range, does not provide Tor
all applicants, the latter are given
preference in the following order:
(a) Persons residing within the
reserve;
(b) Persons owning ranches with
in the reserve but not residing there
on;
(c( Persons living in the vicinity
of the reserve, owning what may be
called neighboring stock;
(d) persons living at distance
who have some claim of equity or
priority.
This rule of preference is not IRON
bound, but may be modified where
Justice demands it; for instance,
class (b) is not construed SO as to
permit large stock owners to crowd
out the cattle of settlers under class
(c) by buying small ranches in the re-
serve, for which they have no other
use. The whole intent of the graz
ing restrictions is to insure the full
est permanent use of the range tc
those best entitled to 1t.
Cattle are permitted in practically
all reserves; sheep in those where nc
marked damage seems to result
therefrom. In case the proposed re
serves in central Idaho are created,
1t will be the recommendation of this
bureau that sheep grazing will bc
permitted upon them to a degre,
which will not permanently impair
the range. The proposed reserve o.
about 735, 900 acres on the uppe
timbered portions of the Seven Devil
and Cuddy ranges, during the las
two seasons has carried from 20, 00t
to 10000 sheep, many of which
came from Oregon Under the regu
latlons, neither sheep nor cattle from
other states will be allowed on tn
reserve and | believe that total o
about so, 600 will be all that the trac
can support safely and large enough
to accommodate legitimate Idaho APP
plicants.
The proposed Payette reserve il
Idaho county will include some shee
range, but very little accessible b.
cattle. 1t does not appear that muc
damage has been done by sheep. s
the number permitted thereon wi
probably necessitate no reduction O
the present industry.

ELECTRIC POWER.

A number of the principal men in the
Bay Counties Power Company of Cali
fornia have about completed arrange
ments for building an electric power line
to Tonopah and Goldfield from Lavining
lake. These are without doubt the best
power locations in the Sierras, and the
hydraulic installation can be installed
quicker than on any other location known
in that part of the country, as they COM
prise two large waterfalls which will
necessitate a very short pipe line. The
distance to Tonopah is 120 miles.

A LUCKY SHOT
A Fortune TumbIed Down With
the Blast

A heavy shot put in the drift of the
Lookout mine at Fish lake one day last
week opened up what promises to be one
of the biggest pay shoots ever discovered
in Western Nevada, says the Goldfield
Review.
An extra heavy shot was put in one of
the holes and the following morning
when the "muckers'' went in to clean up,
it was discovered that quite a cavern had
occurred. An investigation of this
showed that the ore for a distance of
forty feet above and for a considerable
distance along the drift had fallen in, and
to depth of fifty feet below an immense
cave had been opened up. Careful meas
urements OF the ore exposed were made
and it was determined that the lucky
shot had opened up not less than 10000
tons of ore, and the lowest average sam
pie of 1t gave returns of $40 per ton, put
ting a valuation of 100000 on the whole
mass.

JURY DISCHARGED.

The jury in the New York murder case
of Nan Patterson for the killing of Book
maker Young could not agree. The jury
stood equally divided. Murder in the Sec
ond degree was what three of the jury
thought, while three others thought that
and six stood for acquittal The case
will likely be tried again. 1t don't cost
anything for the Silver State to take
long distance shot at the case and say
that in the Silver States opinion Nan
Patterson never fired the fatal shot.

COHEN BOUGHT
A GOLD BRICK
Former Nevadan Humbugged by
Alameda Mine Spectator
Last Week

Max Gutter, q mining speculator of
Alameda. Cal. was placed under arrest
at San Francisco Thursday to answer to
charge of selling a gold brick to Elkan
Cohen, formerly a merchant and land
owner Of Carson valley. and well known
In Reno. says the Gazette. Gutter was
held for several hours, but was finally
released under IS. 900 bonds.
1t is alleged that he sold a gold brick,
of little value except for junk. to Cohen
for 1880. accomplishing his purpose. ac-
cording to the allegation of Morris
Cohen. the brother of the victim, by
means OF hypnotic influence. 1t was
brought out during the preliminary ex-
animation that Elkan Cohen is living
with the Gutter family in Alameda at the
present time. despite the fact that he is
the complaining witness against the de-
fendant.
The Cohens went to San Francisco
from Nevada some time ago with several
hundred thousand dollars, which they
had amassed through trade and specula-
tion In this State. Gutter from the first
interested himself in several deals with
them. and. while Morris Cohen was OPP
posed to him. Gutter found ready sec
ond to his schemes in Elkan. the other
brother, who. Morris asserts, Is easily
humbugged and over whom he claims
Gutter has undue influence.
During the absence of Morris from San
Francisco It is alleged. Gutter offered a
lightly plated gold brick to Elkan in con-
sideration of certain money paid down
and the wiping out OF a balance which
stood on the Cohen books against him.
The offer was accepted. Gutter left the
city after the transfer was made, and
shortly after the two Cohens. Morris
having returned, took the brick to the
Mint. where its character was learned.

WONDERFUL OPERATION
Lawrence AckIand on the Road
to Recovery
WONDERFUL OPERATION.


Word comes from San Francisco that
Lawrence Ackland, a well-known South
ern Pacific fireman, has undergone a
most wonderful surgical operation, which
has proved successful, and the young
man Is now on the road to recovery, says
the Sparks Headlight. Ackland was
taken to San Francisco from Winnemuc-
ca several months ago, suffering from
complication of ailments, and 1t was
thought he would never recover and that
an operation would prove fatal. Much
time was taken up in preparing him for
the operation and last week it was per-
formed. The physicians found that the
pericardium or membraneous sack which
contains the heart had become attached
to the ribs and four of the ribs were in
such a condition that they had to be re-
moved. They were detached from the
sternum in front and were cut off within
an inch of the spinal column in the back.
The young mans heart action is now re-
ported to be almost normal.

This is the best evidence of any printed
that the road will be built and taken In
consideration with the order placed for
500 miles of steel with the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company. makes it appear rea-
sonably sure that the Western Pacific
