Wann and Long Instantly Killed and
Young Long Wounded.
BOB WETTER THE SLAY ER
Trouble Over Mines Supposed
to be the Cause.

Idaho county was again shocked
this morning by the news that two
men had been shot down in cold
blood at a mining camp near Re-
sort. Bob Wetter, a prospector,
did the shooting and the cause is
supposed to be trouble over mining
claims. The victims, Wann and
Long are also miners and had been
mining in the vicinity for two
years past. Last Tuesday evening
they were stopping at Jack Clare's
cabin on Grouse creek about three
miles from Resort when Wetter
appeared and shot Wann who was
sitting on stool outside and began
shooting at Clare and boy, son
of Longs. They succeeded how
ever in getting away the boy being
slightly wounded in the leg Wet
ters then rushed into the cabin
where the Senior Long was and
shot and instantly killed him.
After the killing Wetter went to
the Golden Rule mine not far away
and told Millard Hubbard and
James Stevens that he had "got
part of the ---" and was
willing to give himself up. They
Immediately started W h their
prisoner and reached here just be-
fore noon today. When Wetter
came to the mine he was armed
with 1850 winchester with which
he did the shooting and a SO cali
bre revolver.
AS we go to press it is impossible
to get the particulars but it is
known that the parties had had
trouble over mining claims. Wann
was one armed man and former.
ly lived at Weiser and Long was
originally from Walla Walla.
Stevens and Hubbard turned the
prisoner over to Sheriff Seay ant
he is now in Jail.

DEATH OF w. M. JACK
A Prominent Business M n
Passes Away.

TdSSSS AWAY
This community was shocked on
Monday morning last by the an
nouncement that w. NJ. Jack,
proprietor of the Grangeville water
works, had died at the Jersey
House at one O'Clock that morning.
Mr.. Jack arrived here from his
home at Los Angeles ON his annual
summers visit, and two weeks
since was affected with bronchial
troubles, from which he had ap-
parently recovered and had been
up and about until the day pre-
ceding his death. .Abont midnight
of Sunday he was affected with
heart trouble, and before his doc
tor could be summoned he had
passed away. The circumstances
are the more distressing from the
fact that Mrs. Jack had only arri
we'd here a few da,s previously,
and the sudden death Of her hus
band naturally Frustrated her with
grief.
Mr.. Jack has had an eventful
career. Born in Scotland in 1887
he came to the United States at an
early age and was employed in
the east in various capacities
until he attained the age of
81 years when he came west and
located in the Boise basin and en-
gagged in mining. Later he went
to Helena, Montana, where he en-
tered the hardware business as a
partner Of the firm OF Kinney 4
Jack. Still later he went to Butte,
Montana, where he engaged in the
same business, aud where Mr..
Bertsch of this city entered his
employ. Mr.. Bertsch informs us
that the business at Butte aggre-
gated hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually From Butte
Mr.. Jack went to Portland and en-
barked in the firm of Crane & Jack
residing there for four years, when
he located in Los Angeles, where
he has ever since resided.
In 1899 Mr.. Jack became inter-
ested with Mr.. Orchard in the con-
struction of water works systems
at Kendrick and Grangeville, and
finally purchased the interest OF
his partner, and owned the entire
Grangeville system at the time OF
his death.
Mr.. Jack never aspired to public
life, but during his residence al
Butte he was elected county com
missioner and served as chairman
of the board of Silver Bow county
for number of term. He was {
genial and most hospitable citizen
enterprising and progressive and
full of the right kind of public
spirit. The people of Grangevill'
feel that they have lost persona
friend in his death, and extend t.
! the widow and children their full
sympathy i n their unexpecte'
bereavement.

BUFFALO HUMP CAMP
Properties Making Good Show
lngs-HIliS Alive With Men.

lngS-HlIlS Alive With Men.
Matt Gilbert, manager of the
Buffalo Chief, states that while in
the Hump last week he visited a
large number of the more active
properties, and found that con.
ditions generally were never more
satisfactory. Among those visited
were the Jumbo, Mother Lode,
Atlas, Cracker Jack, Colonel, Wise
Boy, Lucky Lad, Blue Jay, Cen
trai Hump group, Little Frank,
Starlight, Ironclad, Buffalo Chief
and Granite group.
The Jumbo has an excellent
showing, the new tunnel being in
over $50 feet, and though nearly
100 feet from where the company
expected to encounter pay ore there
were four feet of good milling ore
in the face of the tunnel, with val
ues running about $500. The
company is milling from 60 to 20
tons per day and employ about 60
men.
The Mother Lode is sinking,
having gained depth of rs feet
An air compressor now on the road
will be installed.
The Atlas has an ore shoot 500
feet long that runs high in values.
The company is sinking and now
has a depth of over 300 feet.
The Cracker Jack is milling
from the lower tunnel and have a
very large body Of rich ore.
The Colonel has drift 300 feet
and has good ore.
The Wise Boy has struck their
ore shoot and the mill will be
started soon. The shoot would
have been struck sooner, but for
the fact that the tunnel was being
driven along side of the vein.
The Lucky Lad will be milling
in few days.
The Blue Jay, south Of the
Jumbo, owned by Dayton people,
has very fine ore, and the PROPOSE
> ton would justify mill at the
present time This company will
do a great amount Of development
work this season.
The Central Hump Mining Co
has good surface showings. A con
tract was let for sinking. Drifting
will be continued indefinitely. l
this property shows up as wei
with depth as the surface would
indicate, it will certainly make q
mine.
A. d. Foster has large force o
men at work on the Little Frank
w. l.. Richie, mining man O
wide experience, recently in. th'
Hump, made thorough examina
ton of the Buffalo Chief propert.
and was greatly surprised with thu
showings, and thought that tn
property ought 20 have a mil
erected Immediately.
The Buffalo Hump Mining Co
of Seattle, owning the Buffalo Chic
the Starlight and the Ironcla'
claims, h a S very promisin
future.
Mr.. Gilbert, as manager, ha
+! lust let contract for 500 feet @
tunnel work on the Buffalo Chic
| and large force OF men are no'
at work. In addition to this
| contract was let for 100 feet on tn
| Starlight and Ironclad. One thol

VERMONT'S Maple.

Great Holes Dug In Green Mountains
by Those Who Extract 1t.
The Green mountains contain some
of the largest artificial holes in the
world, says the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican. They are really vast cham
bers which have been eXcavated under
ground in working the great marble
deposits. While marble is quarried in
Vermont, it is also actually mined, as
! some openings are in the form of chan
| ground. A visitor to n of these open
ings gets an idea Of the magnitude of
this industry when he realizes that
from this space has been extracted
nothing but marble. The Sheldon quar-
~, as it is called, on the property of
the Vermont Marble company, is the
deepest quarry of it's kind in the world.
The bottom is nearly 300 feet from the
surface. This quarry contains cham
bers more than 200 feet in height and
spacious enough to seat 5000 people
without crowding. They form vast
amphitheaters. whose walls and cell
ings as well as floors are solid marble,
for O n OF these quarries has been
worked out. in spite of the enormous
quantities that have been taken from
them.
While marble was known to exist in
the Green mountains a century ago,
the q%uarrying Of it is one Of the new
industries of New England, but SO rap
idly has it developed that Rutland
county produces more marble than all
Of the other beds in this country COM
bined. From it m material for not
only banks, office buildings, postoffices
and c~ourthOuses, but also for statuary,
slabs and other interior work for build
ings and cemetery decorations. Such
is the variety which has been discover
ed that it is being used for every pur-
pose for which marble was formerly
imported and has been put to new
uses besides. The beds contain varie-
ties similar to the Pentelic marble,
from which the buildings of ancient
Athens were constructed. Another va
riety is almost identical with the ia
nous marble of Carrala. From this
the tints range all the way to black.
including blue. red and green, with
tints intermingled. Experts believe
that the beds are practically inexhaust-
ible. They have been traced more
than fifty miles, and all the indications
point to the existence OF Il deposit al
most continuous for twenty-five miles.
Although nearly 10000 tons u year are
being quarrieu. only az insignificant
portion OF the beds has leea removed.

fifty, but his grain has lodged. sug-
gest that he might grow corn, and he
replies that only the expense Of cult
| waiting the corn stands in the way;
there is heat enough and richness
enough and need of the grain. Now
they feed wheat and oats. Oats
yield as much as IS bushels, though
SO bushels are considered a good crop.
| Wheat yields from 25 to 55 bushels.
Potatoes raise the level of the ground
from three to six inches where they
grow. Sugar beets thrive.
Great Sheep Ranges.
Back of this valley lie the grea.
sheep ranges. The greatest in the
world today they are, with probably
the best average class OF sheep.
Sheepmen here own a great deal of
pasture land bought from the railroad.
They breed we'll. At present there is
great demand for Cotswold rams.
Curiously enough the Cotswold are
much nor highly priced than the Lin
coin in this land. Landing is late
here, not till May, therefore there are
not so many fat lambs sent from here
to Chicago ana Colorado.
Mr.. O'Donnell makes his wethers
pay best on alfalfa feeding without
grain. He makes a gain of about 20
pounds on hay alone. Sometimes he
buys light lambs and winters them
twice, besides summering them on
the range. That pays him we'll; the
wool more than pays the cost of run
ming them in summer. Cattlemen arc
in the minority here beside sheepmen
and mot in it, when it comes to
showing down of profits. Mr.O'Don-
nell has a brother who owns cattle.
They run on the same range, one with
sheep, the other with cattle, and each
thrives. That shows that, so the land
is not overstocked, sheep and cattle
will thrive on the same land.
O'Donnell said that, during a sue
'cession of dry years, the grass seemed
to be dead and sheepmen themselves
conceded that sheep had ruined the
range both by eating too close and by
treading it with their sharp hoofs.
Then came a wet season and at once
the land sprung up green and glori-
Gus. Old timers like Paul McCor-
mick, who were here long before the
railway, said that never in the palm
lest days of the buffalo had there been
such grass.
Glorious Valley, Indeed.
1t is indeed a glorious valley.
School houses stand here and there,
big, romy school houses, and back OF
them are sheds where the children
keep their saddle ponies. Settlers
are getting neat and pretty homes.
The reign of the cottonwood is yet
the land, but you see here and
there a man planting elms or naples
and many sorts OF trees will grow
here. Mr.. O'Donnell's orchard was
bending to the ground with real ap-
pies and as we started to leave Hes

your Guy ana DullQ up a community
here that will have hundreds of
thousands of citizens the way is open
to you. Get 100 acres of land and
cut it into acre farms, put a house on
each acre and get good instructors
to teach farming, and let it be known
that the workingman from the over
crowded east car come here and learn
farming before he buys land and you
will soon see every foot of this mag
n%ificent domain settled with a happy,
prosperous and contented people,"
Such a colony of instruction was al
ready under way in Arizona, through
the cooperation of one of the rail
roads, and that 100 acres of irrigated
land was being secured, to be subdi-
vided into one and two acre tracts
upon which to train in irrigation
practical prospective colonists. He
proposed such a colony for Billings,
which above all other regions OF the
west was favored by nature for the
successful consummation of just such
a project.
THE people of the crowded Cities"
continued Mr.. Maxwell, "do moi want
to go out onto a big farm. They
would feel out of their element, and
would miss the society and social con
ditions to which they are accustomed.
But on the small acre farm, on the
five-acre farm, they can combine the
advantages Of the town and the en-.
joyment of the pure air of heaven and
the joy of natures company. Now,
l know that many of you think 100
acres a small tract of land; but, let
me ask you, are not 100000 farms OF
five acres each better than 500, 900
acres divided UP into 3,125 one-hun-
dred-and-sixty-acre farms, much less
ranches?
Another thing, in this question OF
the national irrigation and land poll
cies in the west-be honest with the
people OF the east, to whom we looked
for the passage of the irrigation act,
and to whom we must look again for
additional legislation. You have got
to be honest with the eastern people.
Your agricultural land must be kept
from speculation and reserved for the
settler, who will go there and take it
up in not more than 16O-acre tracts
and live on it five years."
Cooperation Is Urged.
Mr.. Maxwell stated that the great
campaign of irrigation, agricultural
education, rural settlement and colo
nization he had outlined invited the
support of every public spirited citi-
zen, and he urged the cooperation OF
the people of Billings. He wanted
their support in membership in the
National Irrigation association; he de-
sired the support of the state of Mon |
tana to the extent of 1000 active |
members. To show how the subject |
was regarded in other parts of the
west he read a telegram from Charles |
