 IN GOOD CONDITION
RAILROADS HAVE SUCCEEDED IN
 GETTING CONNECTIONS IN ALL
 DIRECTIONS - THE WESTERN UNION AND THE POSTAL.

The various railroads succeeded yester- day in getting good wire connections in all directions after two or three of them had had trouble for more than twenty four hours.
 The Queen and Crescent got connection with Cincinnati yesterday for the first time since late Sunday, and it was able to improve it's connection with Chatta- nooga and other points north of Birming- ham on its road. Its wires southwest of Birmingham were also working satisfac- to,ially yesterday.
 The Southern has secured good connec- ton with Atlanta and also with points southwest of Birmingham. It had trouble all day Monday with wires and until late Monday night had not succeeded in ge.- ting Atlanta.
 The Louisville and Nashville did not sus.er very much from wire trouble. as tle storm which broke so many Of the wires seems to have skipped over It's right of way to Nashville and other points.
 The Frisco had little trouble and the Central of Georgia practically none be- tween Birmingham and Columbus.
 The telegraph companies were in very much better condition yesterday, as the storm and cold north. east and west of Birmingham has abated to marked de- rree, and this relieved the strain or the wires.
 Both the Postal and the Wes1sri rnon officials state that they are working ir every direction on a majority of their wires, but 1t will be day or two longer before everything Is restored as 1t was before the storm.
 II. B. Crawford, superintendent of the Columbus Birmingham division, with headquarters in Columbus, was in the city yesterday.

Ed. Townsend a well-known young white man about tine city and an em- ploye of the Birmingham Rolling Mill, cut and stabbed W. L. Simpson, freight conductor on the Louisville and Nashville, nine times yesterday afternoon in Powells saloon on Thirteenth street and First avenue. Townsend had a long splinter run through his hand from billiard cue, which Simpson used as weapon of offense and defense.
 Townsend was arrested and place in the city jail by Policemen Veitch and Mathewson on a charge of assault with a knife, and Judge Feagin set his bond at $500, which he has been unable to make.
 Simpsons wounds are serious, but not necessarily fatal Five of them are in the back, one in the side one just under the heart and two in the leg. He is at his home on Second avenue between Tenth and Eleventh streets

 Townsend claims that Simpson cursed him and then dared him to take it up, at the same time breaking a billiard cue in half and using 1t as a weapon. He claims that he ran behind the bar in the saloon and that the bartender pushed him out and that then he defend ed himself by using his knife.
 Simpson claims that Townsend attack ed him with the knife and stabbed him in the back, and that then he broke the cue and tried to defend himself with 1t, keeping Townsend at distance by polk ing him with the cue. This ls the way he accounts for the splinter in Town sends hand.
 As soon as Simpson is able to attend court the case will be tried. Townsend will probably make bond today.

cases miles of road over rough noun
tains will have to be built to bring it
out.
81 have before me a reliable cruisers
report on two of the best townships in
the Clearwater, and on one township
(36 sections) there are three sections of
timber, and on the other, four, while
many of the adjoining townships have
much less. So, as will be understood
by every one who is familiar with the
mountains east of here where the for
est reserve is located, the plan outlined
by Mr.. Pinchot and Governor Gooding
is not worth considering. In no place
on the Bitter Root forest reserve could
even one entire township of good tim
Der land be selected. So the idea of
establishing state forest reserve of
sufficient dimensions to recompense the
schools for what has been cut off these
reserves is out of the question:"

THAT CONFERENCE.

The silence with which the alleged
results of the conference between Gift
ford Pinchot and Governor Gooding re-
lating to the ''forest reserve" situation
in Idaho has been received by the state
press, indicates a certain degree of
suspicion as to the practicability of the
plan or the good faith underlying it.
AS to it's practibility or otherwise we
think that Ex-Governor McConnePs
views will best serve as disposing Of
that part of the question. Says Nc
Connel in the Lewiston Tribune:
"Mr. Pinchot certainly knows that he
is powerless to make any such deal, and
as to Governor Gooding's authority to
swap the school sections for other lands,
the constitution of Idaho provides how
such lands may be disposed of and
without amending that instrument l
doubt if even the legislature has author
ity to make such a deal. l was the
author of the article of our state con-
stitution which relates to schools and
school lands and it was my intent and
that of the convention to so guard the
interest of our public schools that the
patrimony of our children should not be
traded off or squandered by mismanage
ment or through ignorance. If there is
such thing in the state house at Boise
as a map showing the timber locations
in the state glance at it will reveal
that even when the timber lands were
in their virgin state and we were at
liberty to locate without hindrence, no
considerable body could be selected in
adjoining subdivisions. The timber had
first to be cruised and the sections aud
even forties that grew good timber Sc
lected for filing, and with all the safe
guards we could use sometimes. owing
to failure on the part of solicitors to
properly run the lines, worthless tracts
were taken even at first when the best
townships in the Potlatch basin were
vacant and open for entry, but there is
now only an occasional section or quar-
ter section in a township within the
forest reserve that has any timber
worth cutting for lumber, and in most

Recovery of Metals by Cyanide.

According to statistics furnished by
the census bureau there was total of
3,OS9, 673 tons OF ore and 1919, $3.50 tons of
tailings treated by the cyanide process
in 1902. In twelve different states, 100
mines had adopted the treatment. Of
this number 20 cyanided the ore or tail
ings without other treatment; 27 crush
ed the ore without cyaniding; 5 concen-
trated the ore, 20 combined amalgama-
ton for coarse gold with cyaniding for
fine gold; IS combined concentration
and amalgamation with cyaniding; 4
combined chlorination. and 6 smelling
and amalgamation with cyaniding.
The production from 3, 2S9, 1863 tons of
ore and tailings was 776, $50 ounces of
gold valued at SIS, 972, 268 and La, 546
ounces of silver valued at $871, 879. The
products include also $4,000 pounds of
copper valued at 81, $40; TAI, 900 pounds
of lead valued at $12, 494, and S,726
pounds of mercury recovered from the
tailings and valued at $500; a total
production of SIG 1853, $50,
The figures are given for this year, as
they are as nearly correct as any that
could possibly be obtained and as an in
stance of the wonderful results of a
process, the practical application of
which dates back only about Is years.
Although the solubility of gold in cyan
ide of potassium was known to the
ancients, according to some scientific
writers, and an attempt to apply the
process was certainly made by DIR. Julio
H. Rea of Syracuse, N. Y, in 1867, who
obtained patents on the use of potassium
cyanide as solvent for gold, and later,
in 1880, by Thomas c. Clark of Oakland,
CAL, who roasted his ores and placed
them while red hot in bath containing
salt, prussiate of potash and caustic
soda. 1t was not until 1890, when the
Macarthur Forrest process for treating
ores for the recovery of precious metals
proved to be commercial success in
the Witwatersrand gold fields in South
Africa.
The first plant for treating tailings by
the cyanide process was erected in
johannesburg in Apail, 1890, and in that
year there were recovered in the RAND
by this process 286 ounces of gold. The
following year "a, 1862 ounces of. golc
were recovered, and before the Boer-
British war the recovery amounted tt
about 800, 900 ounces.
The cyanide process, as described
tersely, consisted of lixiviating the fine
ly crushed ore with a dilute solution Of
an alkali cyanide, drawing off this solu
ton when charged with the precious
metals, and precipitating these metals
from the solution. Zinc is used as ;
precipitant. Min. and Eng. Review.

BOLSTERINC UP HIS CAUSE.

It is reported in the newspapers that
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester of the
United States, has decided 10 visit Idaho
in the near future, and by personal
inspection of the forest reserves areas
in this state secure arguments favorable
to the establishment of these reserves,
which the dispatches also state were
created on his recommendation, which
recommendation was given at the in
stance and on the advice of assistants
in whom he had confidence. If Mr..
Pinchot is coming out here for the pur-
pose of bolstering up his action in rec
ommending something of which he knew
nothing, and apparently no one of his
advisors knew enough to furnish him
argument in favor of his recommended
lions, there seems little doubt that he
will be able to satisfy himself that he
was amply justified in recommending
such action. Under such conditions he
would be queer faddest if he was not
able to see things in just the light in
which he wished to see them. 1t is to
be hoped that the dispatches have lied
about him in the same way in which the
special correspondents for several coast
and Idaho papers have lied about Sem
ator Hepburn, and his position on the
forest reserves. 1t would be an I'M
fortunate thing if it is established that
the head of the forestry department
would recommend the withdrawal of
one-third of the total area of a state,
and more than one-half the available
unappropriated area on reasons SO
meagerly supported that they must be
bolstered up by spacious one side in
yestigations, intended not to establish
the true but in defence of precipitate
action Southern Idaho Mail.

Gold is the Standard OF Value.
Mining Investor.

AS summed up by our conservative
contemporary, the Wall Street Journal,
the wealth crop of the United States
if we may use the consists of
plants, animals and minerals. ''Leav-
ing minerals out of the question and
considering only plants and animals, it
appears that every year the earth
produces for the people of this country
real wealth to the amount of between
81, 900, 100000 and $4,000, 100000. For
instance, what are known as the cereal
crops are worth about $4,000, 000,C COO a
year, of which corn accounts for one
half. Cotton, tobacco, hay, flax and
wool account for at least another ST.,
100000, 900. Garden truck, fruit and
farm animals bring the total well over
$4, 900, 900, 900 a year. This is the foun-
dalton of all business of the world.
Man must be fed three times day or
Whereabouts whatever happens. Gold is
of no use to him, coal is of no use to
him, iron is of no use to him, railroads
are of no use to him, until he is fed and
clothed. The annual yield of food by
mother earth is the source of all indus
try. Abundance of yield means good
times, and vice versa"
Leaving minerals out of the ques
ton will not do. Gold is the present
standard of value the world over, anc
when gold is scarce the purchase price
of all perishable commodities, such as
wheat, corn, meats, fruit, ETC., is low

MISS nII.IA DWIGHT

Miss Julia who died at Grace hos
pital on Sunday morning had been i'll
for something over a year, she was
removed to the hospital on Friday,
March "a. She had sinking spell on
the next Wednesday from which she
never recovered, and for hours before
released by death she was unconscious.
The remains will be taken to Berk-
shire the former home of the deceased,
where funeral services and interment
will take place. ...
The deceased and her cousin Miss
Mary Dwight, came to Branford some
five years ago, and rented Mrs. Cora
lenne RusselIs house where they made
their home till the present time. They
were both members of the Branford
Congregat ionaI church and active in
church work, and were very highly
esteemed in this place. Miss Julia's
health had never been very good during
her stay in Branford, and about a year
and a half ago she was taken down
with cancer. DIR. Evans and a nurse
were in constant attendance. Much of
the time she was comfortable and could
see her friends, and last summer rallied
sufficiently to be taken out in a wheeled
chair. Her long sickness, patiently
borne, endeared her to everybody, and
those who knew her best loved her
much, Many mourn the demire Of Miss
Dwight.
