American Gulch up near Rob-
inson Bar, in early days was
very rich in placer gold. The
diggings was thought to have
been worked out, and conseqent-
ly the claims were deserted. The

prospecting there struck the old
pay-streak, and as a result there
is quite little boom on now.
In the Idaho building at the

mined in the United States, and

Did you ever hear tell of man
or woman trying to lift an un-
fortunate woman up when she
falls from the pedestal of hon
esty and virtue ? No, never.
Too much Adamic blood still
creeping through their veins for
that. When once a woman trips
and falls from her high honored
position she stands in a hell from
which men and women will not
stop to lift her out, husband,
brother, sister all are deaf to her
cries from that hour. But on the
other hand we have seen men as
low as hell itself, we have seen
the wife lift up the husband
from the gutter and press him
to her heart while tears and
sympathy, love and anguish
trickle down her cheek in pro-
fusion. We have seen the wife
follow the husband through life
in one constant whirl of misery
and misfortune and when at the
gates of hell they are separated
would stand and wiring her hands
in mortal agony because the cur
tain has fallen between them and
she could go no farther. We
have seen the mother follow her
son through the path of crime
and vice. Shame and degrade
ton through man was never
known to follow a woman, yet

CUSTER COUNTY MINES.


Silver Bell Mining & Explora-
tion company, to take over a
group of FIVE claims in Custer
county. The company will be
capitalized at $500,000 and will
have j. A. Neiset of Fremont,
Ohio, as president.
The property to be taken over
is the Silver Bell group of three
claims, the Copper Queen and
the South Extension. The two
latter have been secured from
F. F. Fisher and associates for
a consideration of $150,000 in
cash and stock. The first pay
ment has been made and the re-
naming cash payment will come
due on October 1. Mr.. Andreas
and his associates own the Silver
Bell group.
These five claims are all on the
same vein, covering it for some
1900 feet. They are in the East
Fork district, 15 miles south of
Clayton. The property is on the
great lead-silver belt upon which
the Ramshorg and other famous
mines are located. The vein is
from 2 to u feet wide. On the
Copper Queen one ore shoot has
been traced on the surface for
1000 feet. The ore carries lead
carbonate, silver and gold. A
lot of four tons shipped out last
fall from the Silver Bell returned
$50 a ton.
1t is the intention to start de-
velopment work Immediately and
prosecute it vigorously.
Mr.. Andreas states he regards
that section as the most richly
mineralized he has ever visited.
The Ramshorn, he says, has a
bullion record of So, 100000, and
in its miles of workings there is
still $500, 900 in sight. There
are many other properties well
developed in the same district,
all waiting for railway trans
portaUion to make them profitab-
lie. 1t is his opinion this will
not be much longer delayed.
Judge Kelly, chief counsel of
the Union Pacific system of rail
roads, who passed up the branch
road last Friday with a party of
four and his private secretary,
says the HALEY Times, on their
way to the Page group of mines
at the head of the Payette and
over the divide from Stanley
Basin, passed through HALEY
last evening in his private car
on his way East.
Judge Kelly said that the
scenery from HALEY up Wood
river to the head of the Salmon,
the Red Fish lakes, and Stanley
Basin, is simply indescribable.
He has travelled through Colo
rado, has done Switzerland afoot,
on horseback, and in every other
way open to globe.trotters; but
he never saw any scenery that
compares with Stanley Basin
and the Sawtooth mountains and
lakes. Were tourists to know of
the splendor of the scene pre-
sented there, mile after mile,
day after day, and week after
week, they would come by thous-
ands.
Concerning the silver-lead
proposition that he came to visit
Judge Kelly was non-committal.
w. G. Page, the superintend-
ent of the Alturas, the Croesus
and the Quincy, Jr., mining
companies, who accompanied
Judge Kelly and his party from
HALEY to'the mines and who re-
turned with them, said
Il would prefer to say nothing
about the mines except this;
The gentlemen seemed pleased,

their examination for a week er

SEEK SERVICE IN NAVY.
Many Young Men Enlist in Chicago
Recruiting Office.

Indicative of the probable increase IN
enlistments in Chicago for the United
States navy when the naval training
station is located at Lake Bluff is the
number of young men at present pouring
into the naval recruiting Office IN that
city. Not since the first years AFTER the
Spanish-American war, when the re-
cruiting Office in Chicago was made
permanent station, has there been such
an interest in the navy. Chicago boys
and youths from towns and villages near
by have come to appreciate the adyan-
tages for young men on Uncle Sans
warships and are giving up work IN
shops and offices for life on the Drlny
deep. Forty boys have just been ac-
cepted into the service in one week py
Lieut.. D. w. Blamer, in charge OF the
local office. This is the largest enlist.
ment for a single week in the history OF
the Chicago Office. Already in Few
days more than ten months Of this year
there have been almost 600 enlistments'
against a total of 400 for the entire
twelve months of last year. In l9o5
there were SIS boys and young men ac-
cepted. Lieut.. Blamer expects that
mark will be raised to more than ooo
before the LIST of January. When 1t IS
considered that only about 10 per cent
Of the applicants are accepted, the oth-
ers being rejected for physical incapac-
1ty, the number of those who want TO
fight for Uncle Sam ON the sea can be es-
tlmated. Lieut. Blamer says this condl-
ton is not peculiar to Chica go-although
the city ranks with Boston and ne"
York as recruiting place-but that the
increased interest in the navy is COM
mon all over the country. Indeed, such
has been the growing interest in the
West that the government has establish
ed permanent recruiting stations in Oma'
ha, Kansas City, Minneapolis, st. LOUIS
and other western cities. Formerly CHI
cago was the only station between the
Atlantic coast and San Francisco.

FROM TEXAS

9ome Coffee Facts from the Lone Star
State.
From beautiful farm down IL Tex
as, where gushing springs unite to
form babbling brooks that wind their
sparkling way through fowery meads,
comes note of gratitude for delivery
from the coffee habit.
when my baby boy came to me five
years ago, l began to drink Postum
Food Coffee, having a feeling that it
would be better for him and me than
the old kind of rug-laden coffee. /
was not disappointed in it, for it en-
abled me, small delicate woman, to
nurse bouncing healthy baby IA
months old
II have since continued the use of
Postum for I have grown fond Of it,
and have discovered to my joy that it
has entirely relieved me Of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times year, causing much
discomfort to my family and suffer
ing to myself.
My brother-in-law was cured of
chronic constipation by leaving off the
old kind of coffee and using Postum.
He has become even more fond of it
than he was of the old coffee.
In fact the entire family, from the
latest arrival "a 2-year-old who always
calls for his 'potie' first thing in the
morning) up to the head of the house,
think there is no drink SO good or so
wholesome as Postum" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.

BURTON IS AGAIN INDICTED.
Action Taken by Federal Gran0
Jury Against Kansas Man.


The federal grand jury in st. Louis
returned an indictment against United
States Senator Burton of Kansas. 1t
is stated that certain features IN the
former Indictment against Senator Bur
ton, which was quashed, were remedled
in this new indictment. The allegations
in the present Indictment are the same
as in the one quashed-that while
Senator of the United States he accept
ed money from the Rialto Grain and
Securities Company of St. Louis for SER
vices rendered before the Postoffice De-
partment in behalf of that company. The
only change is in the legal wording OF
the indictment. Chief Postoff1ce 1nspec-
tor w. J. Vickery of Washington, Will
liam G. Cochran, purchasing agent OF
the Postoffice Department of Washing
ton; Inspector in Charge r. NJ. Fulton
of st. Louis and Inspector in Charge
Joseph III. Johnson of New Orleans were
the principal witnesses. This is the third
Indictment found against Senator Bur-
ton and should a demurrer to this be
sustained it will be impossible ever to
reindict him for his alleged offense in
connection with the Rialto company ow-
ing to the statute of limitations.

Absorption of Wheeler & Wilson by
Singer Corporation.
BY the absorption of the Wheeler ana
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, the
Singer Machine Company has removed
it's principal competitor from the field.
The effect will be to form a trust OF
large proportions. The fear of an ad-
vance in prices is not based on any state
ment that can be secured from the gem
eral officers of the company. All the
Wheeler & Wilson plants and several
hundred agencies in various parts OF the
United States are acquired by the SIN

SON RETURNS AS BEGGAR.
Disguise Not Sufficient to "FoOl"
His Mother.

After an absence of several years and
disguised so that none of his old &C
quaintances seemed to know him, Thorn
as Marshall, a locomotive engineer at
st. Louis, appeared at a rear door of the
home of his mother, Mrs. Mary Marshall,
in Anderson, Ind, and pretended to be
a beggar. When he raped on the door
his sister, on seeing him, ran into the
dining room and told her mother that
tramp was at the door. Mrs. Marshall
then went to the door. ''Kind lady"
said the man in rags, ''would you please
give a poor fellow, who is tired and
hungry, a little something to eat and
a cup of your good coffee?" Before he
finished his plea his mother recognized
him, and, rushing forward, clasped him
in her arms and said: "Oh, Tom! Bless
you, you can have anything here" After
changing his clothes, "Tom" sat down
at the table and explained his joke while
he was eating supper.

Mrs. Benjamin Geist, u years old, e

her 5-year-old son from the third-story
window Of her home and then attempted
to end her own life by shooting herself.
The child narrowly missed striking Miss
Lola Woods employed in a store, which
occupies the first floor of the building.
She was leaving the store when the boy
fell into a basket containing dishes
which was in front of the store. Mrs.
Lille Berton, the landlady, heard Mrs.
Chests screams, and, running into tho
fiat, she found Mrs Chest running about
the room fourishing a revolver. Lucas,
who was thrown from the window, was
begging his mother not to kill herself
Mrs. Chest made a rush at Mrs Berton
and pursued her down the stairs to the
first floor. Then she returned to her
fiat. The next moment the child was
hurled from the window. A physician
declared that the boy would have been
instantly killed had he not fallen into the
basket of crockery. The child was Ia
ter taken to the hospital Policemen who
were summoned found the woman
caught in pane of glass in a door
separating the kitchen from parIor. She
had apparently jumped through the
glass in the door, thinking it was a
window. Policemen Morbach and Ma
her lifted the woman from the glass and
were taking her to the patrol when she
began to fight with them. The insane
woman was taken to the detention hos
pital. She was still holding the re-
volver with which she attempted to end
her life in her hand when the police
arrived. The weapon was empty.
