FOUR MEN DIE BY POISONING.
Mysterious MaIady at Resort of Hot
Springs, Idaho,

Boise, Idaho, July pa wholesale
poisoning occurred near Resort Hot
Springs, a station on the Warren road
to Thunder Mountain. Some time ago
the death of Andrew Larson, a well
known miner, was reported. 1t now
develops there had been four deaths
at Larson's camp and another victim
is suffering from the same trouble,
which is pronounced poisoning. The
dead are Larson. L. c. briggs, the lat
ter son of Charles briggs, and a man
named Syphers, who worked in Lar
sons mine. Another employee named
Mason was stricken, but was removed
to the resort and is thought to be
better.
Syphers was taken i'll three weeks
ago, suffering from peculiar malady,
which could not be diagnosed. Medical
aid was secured, but the patient con-
tlnued to grow worse, and died in great
agony. Meanwhile Andrew Larson was
stricken. His symptoms were similar
to Syphers'. Everything possible was
done to relieve him, but without avail
While Andrew was battling with death
the mysterious ailment fastened upon
briggs, who was Frustrated in the
some manner as Syphers and Larson
He fingered few days and followed
his companions to the grave.
During the period when L. C. briggs
was on his deathbed, his son, Charles,
betrayed symptoms of the fatal mall
ady. Every available remedy was test
ed without purpose, and young briggs
expired within 48 hours of his father.
When Mason was taken ill his
friends were greatly alarmed, fearing
he too would succumb. He was taken
to Hot Springs, where he rallied, and
is now improved, though still suffering.

AND SUPPLIES CAN BE TAKEN
INTO THE CAMP.


Mr.. Jones is practical miner,
and is well acquainted with the
mines of the Seven Devils, having
spent several years in charge of
mines in that section. On the Pea
cock tunnel will be run to tap the
ledge at depth of 500 feet.
Mr.. Jones expects to produce con-
siderable ore. and it will either be
purchased by the Ladd Metals COM
pany and reduced by their smelter
at Homestead, or will be the means
of causing a smelter to be installed
on this side of the mountains to
work the ores.
The opening up of these mines
means great deal to Weiser, as this
city will be the base of supplies for
the mines and the melter plant if
one is erected.
In the copper ores OF the Seven
Devils district the percentage of
copper is four or five times that of
the Butte, Montana, ores.
