\ The Proper Thing To Do.

Mr.. Sickman, the gentleman in
charge of laying the cement walks
around the Waterhouse- Anderson
building, very wisely suggested to
the SIGNAL that the proper thing to
do with the old plank walks, which
are being torn up and replaced with
cement, would be to use them in lay
ing walk from town to the academy
and the industrial institute, thus en-
abling the students and citizens to go
back and forth without any lncon-
veniences in mud and rain This is
most excellent plan, and we hope
will be carried out. We understand
that cement walks will be laid on the
east side of State street, between
Commercial and Idaho, and on Com
merclal street between State an6
First street East, and perhaps OF
the south side of Idaho and ives
side of State as above. If such II
the case, that would give larg'
amount of planking for the proposed
and much needed new walk to the
academy and institute.

Now and Twenty Years Ago.

Some may say that mining Is too
uncertain, but here let me say that
mining of today is not what it was
twenty years ago even. Labor Is
cheaper, explosives are not only
cheaper, but more effective; mechani-
cal devices have been perfected, and
are cheaper; and with all these, elec-
tricity is. distributing cheap power,
whereas In the past steam was ex-
pensive. Though all of these have
tended to advance the profits, yet
they are only part of the great ben
eft that time and science have done
for mining. Twenty years ago the
average yield of ore value of all the
milling in California was not to ex-
ceed one-half. Today the per cent
obtainable for at least one third less
expense is from 85 to 95,
and this is more easily secured than
was so per cent 20 years ago. Thus
it is reasonable to say that 40 per
cent more value is obtainable today
at 33 per cent less cost than was the
yield and cost of mining 20 years
ago; and it is reasonable to consider
that mining is one of the legitimate
and profitable industries of this
coast can assert that no business
can be conducted with more certain
ty, provided unquestionable expert
ence Is at the helm. Mining cannot
be conducted safely by men unedu-
Gated in the business, and this ex-
peuence is what was at the bottom of
so many failures in tue past. "A. b..

over 5000, 900, and only at depth
of $50 feet. Twenty carloads of ore
shipped from this property to east
ern smelters IN 1900 gave returns of
AZ per cent in copper alone.
Col. Dorsey, who is at the head of
this gigantic deal, is a prominent
and influential citizen of Nebraska,
and it Is said he commands large
amount of capital. IL is reported
that John Rogers will have full man
agement of the property under the
new owners. SIGNAL believes he is
well qualified for the duties as he has
resided for some time in that dis
trict and is thoroughly familiar with
the workings of the property and the
developments necessary.
The resumption of operations in
the Seven Devils district will cast q
ray of sunshine throughout this en-
tire section, for it, has long been
known that mountains of untold
wealth were si{ently slumbering, only
awaiting the coming of capital and
the touch of the pick and drill.

HEAD CLOVEN BY
SWEEP OF SWORD
Young Japanese Soldier Is
Slain by Officer in Pres
ence OF His Bride.

The story of tragedy of war and
which has come from three different
sources but which cannot be vouched
for, has the ring of truth to anyone
who understands the Japanese char
acter. Here it Is:
When one of the regiments was
entertaining In the vicinity of Kobe,
a young man who had been called to
the colors came, newly uniformed, to
the train, followed by his mother
and sisters and his bride of but few
days. Generally the relatives of a
soldier wave flags swung from BAN
boos and shout 'sBanzal' when a
soldier goes to fight for the country,
but the mother and sisters stood dry
eyed and held out no staying hand.
The bride, young and full of longing
for her husband, wept. With the
long sleeve of her kimona she wiped
her tears and clung appealingly te
her husbands arm. Impatiently the
officer in command ordered him tc
board the train, but he fingered, anc
the tears began to trickle down.
The officer impatiently called hin
down to entrain, but the young NAL
and maiden clung to each other ant
wept. Then suddenly there was I
fash of steel, crunching sound
and, as the blood spurted over
shrieking maiden, the corpse of
soldier fell to the cement floor, th'
head cloven to the chin by the sweeI
of the officers sword.
"See," said the officer, as he wiped
his sword, "thls man preferred hi
home to his emperor and his country
Let this be warning to all. "

The good news was received in
Weiser, from reported authentic sour
ces, that the Blue Jacket group, the
famous copper properties in the Sew
en- Devils district, have been leased
and bonded to syndicate headed by
Col. Dorsey, the Nebraska Ex-Con-
gressman, John G. Rogers and Will
Hayward. The price is said to be
$3.50, 600. These gentlemen have
been negotiating this big deal for
some time and at last succeeded in
taking over the interests Of the
American Mining Co., and those of
the Blake estate of which Mr..
Manning of Ottumwa, Iowa, is the
administrator. 1t is said snug sum
was paid down.
This is indeed encouraging news
and undoubtedly means that these
great copper producers will AGAR
take on renewed activity on an ex
tensive scale in the near future. Th'
