Our Sugar at Portland.

While D. FL. Biethan was at the Port
land Fair in looking over the Idaho ex
hibit he missed sugar and at once wrote
the company here who soon had ship
ment on the road. Mr.. Biethan is in re.
ceipt of the following letter from Mr.
Mcbride, which shows that the ship
ment not only arrived but that it is at
tracting some attention to Idaho:
The exhibit of sugar you sent us has
arrived, is fine and like many others
that we have is attracting marked at
tention, especially from eastern people
numbers of whom seem to think that we
have nothing but mountains and a few
mines until they come into the building
and see what we can raise, and after
seeing they express wonderment, but it
is fact that we have numbers of those
people who have not the slightest con-
ception of what the State can do.
Thanking you for myself and on be-
half of the State of Idaho for the public
spirit you have manifested, I beg to re-
main.
Very Truly Yours,

Benny on the Boa Constructor.

The boa constructor is large snake
with scales on it's outside and stom-
ach sixteen feet long. 1t lives in
warm countries, where there is a
great deal of rain and jungles, and
has tongue that looks like streak
Of lightning flashing athwart the pale
horizon. When you see boa con
strictor in cage you think how much
better it would feel II it could 60 out
and stretch itself, but, alas, it cannot.
When my Uncle Hiram was kind Of
sick once he said he saw red boa
constructor with horns on its head,
but no one else in the apartment
could see it. The boa constructor
can be trained SO it will let a lady
with her hair all frizzled take it out
of box and bend it around her neck,
but I would rather play with a pet
kitten, which is warmer and more
affectionate.-Chicago Tribune.

Rich Gold and Silver Ore Near
ChalIis.
A RUSH TO THE NEW FIELD.
Some Blackf0Oters Are on the Grounds
With Location Blanks. Capitalists
Pass Through En- Route for This
New Mining Field.

Parker Mountain, on Warm Sprin,
creek, is in Lemhi county, and % mile
northwest of Challis. From Challi
there is good wagon road nearly one
half the distance. Parker Mountain il
wild and romantic spot in the noun
tains and abounds in large and small
game and trout. The district is wei
timbered and watered for mining pur
poses.
The recent discovery of such rich or,
IN the camp that averaged $3.50 per tor
in gold and silver, has caused quite I
stampede from Challis, Loon Greek anG
Custer, and some prospectors from {
distance have arrived, yet the news ot
the rich strikes has not reached the out
side public, SO it is little known outside
of this vicinity. A few mining experts
of renown have visited the camp and all
speak in high praise of the outlook, and
say the rhyolite, andesite, phonolite and
porphyry formation of the region is like
that of the famous gold camps in Ne.
vada, viz: Bullfrog, Tonopah, Goldfeld
and Rhyolite.
Last week prominent mining men rep
resenting capitalists, and others, left
for Parker Mountain, viz: Judge James
M. Stevens, of Blackfoot, VIM. L. Will
son and Attorney Carl Cochran, of Den
yer, Colorado; Thomas B. Wilde, of
Philadelphia, Pa, A. S. Crandall, of Ia
coma, Wash, Goss Bros, of Salt Lake,
Utah, and Attorney M. A. Brown, Of
Challis.
Parker Mountain is situated in vast
unexplored mineral region, and is in the
Loon Creek, Custer and Thunder Noun
tain mineral zone.
The assay returns from the Parker
Mountain district that we published last
week were SO rich in gold and silver
that it read more like fairy tale than
a true statement of facts. The general
average of the ore went $3.50 per ton in
gold, other samples lower and some
higher, while picked sample went over
S37 600 per ton. These look like big
figures, and they are. Since the first
assay returns were made there, other
assays have been made on the outside,
and they all conform and tell the tale of
he richness of the Parker Mountain
res Of course the veins of this ex-
remely rich ore are not wide, but ton
II so of this stuff would put person on
easy street. But there is large ledge
N the Togo group of three claims, un-
overed but not developed, that shows
trong body of ore that averages from
our to five feet in thickness, and aver
ges from 1924 to 800 per ton In gold and
liver. The ores of that district have
OF been tested for other than gold and
liver values, but upon tests may be
,und to contain other mineral values.

Sugar City went down before the Mil

clever exhibition of base ball, taking
their defeat good naturedly The day
was anything but favorable for the
game, it being so cool that none of the
players could get warm up, and several
innings were played in drizzling rain
storm.
The visitors got but three hits off of
Steltz while Backfoot landed on Hoon
for ten. Steltz had excellent support
while the visitors put up poor game in
this respect. The features of the game
were the heavy hitting by Ruffo, who
came in for clean home run hit which
has to be great drive on the Blackfoot
grounds, and three bagger; O'Leary
also connected for three bagger while
several of the boys took two base hits.
There were two sensational plays, a
catch by O'Leary and double, perhaps.
the swiftest ever played on Blackfoot
Diamond, in which O'Leary, Wessler
and Jones participated.
The fielding and general team work of
the Millionaires has improved wonder

ing force. Captain Steltz is getting the
best there is in the team worked up to
point that is causing some anxiety
among the other teams of the league.

kno W that ignorance of the law
does not excuse any person. The
quickest, cheapest and the best
way to know the law is to buy a

the laws. This will be printed
within q few hours after the gov
