VIM. Hogan, general manager
of the Crooked River Mining &
Milling Co., arrived here from
the outside the 10Th and immedi-
ately left for the mine on Crooked
river. Ye scribe could not hold
him for an interview, but had
the satisfaction Of hearing that
the transportation of the large
cyanide plant recently purchased
was progressing rapidly and very
satisfactorily. The mammoth vat
building is covered and Mr.. Ho-
gan will probably remain at the
mine to superintend the installa-
ton of the machinery.

An Important Strike.

J. A. Coverly, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the Lilly May
mine, on Red river, has just COM
pleted the annual assessment on
the Copper King on Red river.
AS is we'll known a 500-foot tun-
mel was driven on this property
by J, D. Boyer in 1901, which
gave a depth at the face of the
tunnel of about 400 feet perpen-
dicular. This drift was run
along side the quartz the entire
distance and was not crosscut at
any place. In doing the work
this year Mr.. Coverly says he
crosscut the ledge about 465 feet
from the portal of the tunnel,
giving a perpendicular depth Of
$50 feet, and found six feet of
fine looking ore and so far nc
wall. This property shows an
ore shoot of 300 feet in length,
but as no assays have yet been
made we are unable to state the
value of the ore. This being one
of the deepest workings in this
district tends to show that the
lodges do not pinch out, but holC
their own with depth.
Mr.. Coverly leaves for Spokane
on the 22d on mining business.

Flattering Prospects.

Martin Hickman has just ar
rived in town. He has been doing
the annual assessment on the
Star and Garter group. This
group consists of six claims and
is located on Deadwood. mountain,
north of the Cleveland mine. 1t
is owned by Mr.. Hickman, S. w.
Smith and Grangeville parties.
The proposition is a dyke which
the development so far has failed
to demonstrate the width. 1t has
been crosscut so far for 200 feet
by open cuts and shafts. This
width gives an average of $3.50.
"The last work done on the ad-
joining claim shows very satisfac-
tory results" says Mr.. Hickman.
"a 12-foot vein of quartz was
encountered, a great deal of
which pans free gold. Next to
this vein is so feet of birds-eye
porphyry, heavily impregnated
with iron sulphides. Then comes
40 feet of conglomerate which is
fully one-half iron. The average
values of this crosscut have not
been obtained yet, but it all pros
poets we'll with the pam"
This property promises to be a
great producer. The owners are
very we'll pleased with the result
of the recent developments and
will probably do more work in
the near future. AS the tonnage
appears to be unlimited this prop
erty can certainly be classed
among the big things of the dis
trict.

An Immense Reef.

Orrin Lamb of the Diamond
Hitch and Knob Hill groups ar
rived in the city by the Orogrand
stage the 18th. When asked for
news Mr.. Lamb said: Il have
not been around much as | have
been busy with my annual assess
ment on the Diamond Hitch snd
Knob Hill groups. The work has
proven very satisfactory. The
Knob Hill is an immense reef
about 1000 feet in width. The
values of the entire reef / do not
know, but l do know that 125
feet of it will average $3.50 per
ton. Geo. L. Bailey of Lewiston
procured an average of 81, but
that exceeds anything l could
ever get.
''The Diamond Hitch looks
better than ever before. | have
found some very rich ore. Six
teen inches Of the ledge will
assay 5000 in gold, a good pei
centage in copper and Is ounces
silver"
Mr.. Lamb says that the Colo
Bug on Big creek is working g
force of six men and has a fine
showing, and that the Union
in the same locality, with a crew
of men at work, is showing uI
nicely.

a dyke 200 feet in width, with
grade of ore characteristic to
those ore bodies. There are, how
ever, several quartz veins run
ming with this dyke Of a very
high grade, and it is my theory
that these quartz veins will unite
at depth and form one immense
ledge. 1t is difficult country to
prospect owing to the deep wash
but the float is very plentiful. AS
an example, this vein I speak of
has been traced and located for a
distance of 1000 feet by this
method. Thus it is found on
Lambs Favorite, the Jay Gould
and the Lone Star. On the latter
claim this vein is exposed at a
point 1000 feet from our Acacia
claim.
$50 far we have confined our
work to surface prospecting for
the purpose of finding the proper
place to start permanent develop
ment. That point is now settled,
and we have our 3OO-foot tunnel
started. This tunnel will be in
country rock for the first loo
feet. At this point I expect to
strike the footwall of the dyke,
after which will crosscut to the
hanging wall, a distance Of 200
feet, which will give us a vertical
depth Of loo feet. We have our
winter quarters completed and
everything ready for active de-
velopment upon my return"
Mr.. Leach says the Missouri
Idaho company are located on
this same mineral zone, and have
a fine showing and are pushing
work with vigor. In short, he
thinks the entire section has a
very bright future, particularly
since the sale of the French group
and the installation Of a cyanide
plant by the Hogan people.

Brooklyn Parties Want the Gold Dove---An
Important Strike---LOcal Mining News
In General---Bright Prospects,
Wants the Geld Dove.

John Mason, of the Gold Dove
group, arrived in town on the
18th inst. and reported that their
cyanide plant was completed and
that they were only awaiting the
arrival Of the zinc and cyanide to
start operations. Mr.. Mason
says that he has assurance from
Walla Walla parties that they will
investigate the placer property
on American river, one mile from
Elk City, as soon as the weather
will permit. Furthermore Mr..
Mason just received a commu-
nication from Brooklyn parties
asking for a cash price on the
Gold Dove, also for maps Of the
property and estimates of work
done. This inquiry is another
evidence that eastern capital is
awakening to the vast oppOrtuni-
ties that lie in this district, and
during the coming summer we
can reasonably expect a handsome
influx of eastern gold and the
opening up of several producers.

Another Shift.

Matt Lundin of the Atlas group,
who is running a cross cut on
that property, was in the city the
18th and reports good progress
and expects to catch the ledge in
about ITO feet. This will tap the
ledge at least 100 feet perpen-
dicular and will prove to a great
extent the worth of the property.
Mr.. Lundin expects to put on
another shift at once.

WASHINGTCN LETTER.
From the Northwest Press Association
Washington, D. c. Jan. i6.

The president of the United
States and the leading men in
nation holding seats in congress
were in consultation last week at
the White House. They were
talking about the necessities of
the hour from a political, indus
trial, financial and civic stand
point. Judging by this confer
ence, it is apparent that the pres
ident intends to inject his person
ality into the affairs of congress
and bring about a business ses-
sion if he can do so. Last weeks
conference was intended to sound
sentiment on matters Of impor-
tance. The president desires an
extra session of congress in the
spring, but he is opposed in this
by many Of the most prominent
men Of the country. President
Roosevelt believes that the tarif
should be revised but he does not
want to call an extra session
unless there is some probability
of accomplishing something in
this as well as in other lines. The
president in his desire to bring
the railroads under supervision,
SO far at least as freight rates
are concerned. He believes that
Senator Heyburn's bill, provid-
ing for a national board for the
control Of corporations, should be
enacted into law. Several bills
have been introduced in both
branches Of congress relating tC
Interstate commerse, but it is
understood that the one intro
duced by Senator Hepburn comes
nearest meeting his views.
The meeting last week Of the
American Forestry Congress was
of much more Importance thar
was generally believed. The
congress was attended by scien
lists and men interested in tim
ber preservation from all parts
of the country. Among those
from Idaho who took a prominent
part in the deliberations of the
meeting were Major F. A. Fem
who read a paper before the con
gress, and F. J. Hagenbrath
president Of the National Live
Stock Association.

horses and cattle and about one
million head Of sheep and hogs.
They produced last year for ship
ment So, 252, 40 worth Of fruits
and vegetables; about $3,0OO,00O
worth of hay and $7,0OO,0O0 worth
of dairy products. They have
produced about 100000 worth
of wool and hides annually for
years, and immense wealth of
minerals. The Coeur d'Alene
mines alone in 1904 produced
about $14, ,000,O worth Of ore.
Vast copper mines await better
transportation facilities and are
contiguous to the Snake river be-
tween Lewiston and Pittsburg
Landing. 1t is estimated that
the white pine in Idaho would
scale 2,700, 100000 feet and it
covers 100000 acres Of land. It
is said by lumberman to be the
finest body of white pine in the
United States today. In eastern
Oregon there is vast forest of
yellow pine which, it is estimated
would scale 0O,OOO,000 feet
and which covers 250, 900 acres.
Tributary to these rivers in Idaho,
Oregon and Washington are other
tracts Of valuable timber await
ing the means to reach the mar
kets Of the world. Last year 75,-
600 car loads of lumber was ship
ped from this region. Besides
this there many other products
that have left unmentioned be-
cause l have wanted to be brief
products which are Of vast i'm
pOrtance to the people Of the
Northwest.
The opening up of these riv-
ers to navigation would in very
short time save in freight rates
the amount Of expense that would
be incurred. By way of illustra-
ton; it costs about IA cents per
bushel to ship wheat to the coast
markets from these counties trib-
utary to these rivers. The dis
tance is from two hundred to five
hundred miles and the rate per
; pushel per hundred miles is from
four to five cents. On the Mis-
sissippi river, between st. Louis
and New Orleans, the rate per
bushel per hundred miles is
little less than one cent. In other
words, from three to four times
as much is paid for freight as
would need to be paid could we
have water transportation. Could
the freight rates be reduced ten
cents per bushel, the wheat pro-
ducer would still be paying
greater rates than he would pay
for freighting on the Mississippi
river. Could the rates be reduced
; one-half only of that or five cents
per bushel, and l believe they
could by reasonable improvement
of the Columbia, Snake and Clear
: water rivers, it would save to the
! farmers every year the amount
we are asking for in this appro-
y priation.
1--WE ship to Portland alone
: about twelve to fourteen million
4 bushels of wheat every year.
q Could we save five cents per bu-
Il shell, it would mean a saving
e every year of 5000, 900 to 100000
to the wheat producers of this
5 vast inland empire. Could we
save proportionate amount on
L all our other products and on the
{ freight that is brought from the
{ coast points for home consump-
ton, the benefits would be almost
5 as great again"

The Georgia Division of the
Southern Cotton Growers Asso-
citation, in session in Atlanta last
week, adopted resolutions calling
upon cotton growers to fix a min
imum price OF 80 cents a bushel
for cotton seed, and to sell not a
pound at q smaller price; also
declaring that no cotton shall be
sold by farmers within its juris-
diction at less than 10 cents a
pound until a fixed price shall be
agreed upon by the Executive
Committee at its meeting at
Asheville in September.
This is a move in the right di-

The Beacon has at last secured
a classically correct definition of
the mosquito which is causing all
OF the trouble. The Hon. Charles
Strong has informed us that the
derivation and meaning Of the
name is as follows: "Stego"
means "stick,' "Myia" means
"me," and "Fasciata" means
"easy," from the Latin "Facilis."
Therefore the name "Stegomyia
Fasciata" means "stick me easy"
lie further explains that this
name was bestowed ON them be-
cause the female alone causes the
trouble, and it has reference to
the traditional ease with which
the feminine portion of the hu-
man race can s'stick up" the men
and get what they want.-Macon
