Now that the famed turquoise mines

Now that the famed turquoise mines of Persia and India are beginning to slacken in their production, the at tention of the world is being drawn to new sources of supply. In Arizona and Nevada several mines, which promise rich results, have already been opened, while in the desert DOT tions of Inyo and San Bernardno counties. California, deposits of this gem stone have also been discovered and will probably be developed with good results. It is, however, as the Tres Piedras Mining Reporter says, from New Mexico that the chief sup plies of turquoise are being drawn. It is not generally known that New Mex ico supplies about 75 per cent. of the worlds turquoise, and that the New Mexico gem is not excelled by the finest of Persia, the country formerly supplying nearly all the good gems to the trade. Turquoise was known to the first inhabitants of this country, as is evidenced by the many orna- ments made of turquoise found in the ancient ruins, and long before the Spanish conquest of Mexico was used to ornament the golden furniture of the Aztec kings. In all probability the gems used by the Aztecs of Mexico and the aborigines of the North Amer ican continent came from New Mex leo. the mines of Cerriilos, Jarillas and the Burro mountains being work ed at that time. Ancient working; have been found in these districts ant the gems are of the first quality | which would have attracted the splen dor loving kings of the ancients.
 To the modern world the mines o New Mexico have been known but few years. Probably the mines a Cerrillos became known to the pres ent civilization before any other dis trict was opened to commerce. Abou dozen years ago the Burro mine were discovered by E. w. Porterfiel
 and N. O. Bascom, who were the orig inal locators of the famous Azur
 mine, from which millions of dollar
 of gems have been taken. M. W
 Por. r.erfcld is now manager of tn
 Porterfie d Turquoise company, an
 these concerns, in connection wit
 the Tiffany people, produce the bul
 fthe turquoise produced in tn
 world today.

APPROACHING VERY RICH SHOOT

The east 25O-foot level of the Searchlight M and M. company IS now in very good milling ore consist ing of mineraized low-grade porphyry, scanned thickly with very rich string CTS which range from two to eight inches in width. In about thirty feet more. the drift should expose the ln' tersection between the east west vein, that all underground work has been in so far, with the north-south mother lode vein, which runs through the property. Very high values are ex' pected when this point is reached. The drift is already in the character istic red-stained porphyry of the north-south vein.
 The mill is crushing ore satisfac- torily, so far as can yet be determin- ed. The pulp is very free from shines and amalgamation is good. The quan- tity crushed per "A hours has not been accurately determined, on account or the many necessary interruptions for changes in adjustment.-The search light.

Samuel Lindsay, Jr.

Sam Galloway trying his lungs
on the "Halleluia Chorus" and the
neighbors for a mile and half
around early Monday morning was
cause for much comment. Ma Cal
laway's peculiar and very unusual
demeanor excited deep sympathy
and profound sorrow, while DR..
John was on the point of undergo
ing arrest to inquire into his sanity.
1t was the conviction OF all who
witnessed their actions (gyrations
would be more proper) that here
was an entire family suddenly and
unaccountably stricken with mad
ness. For who ever heard Sam
sing !? or try to or ever thought he
could come as near trying as he
did little after midnight on the
date referred to Or that Ma Cal
laway could SO far forget herself
and the proprieties as to take up
with an extremely youthful gentle
man just arrived in town and offer
herself--heart, hand and substance
and all she held sacred if he
would only permit her to remain
with him on any terms he chose to
dictate !? Or that Dir. John would
climb the schoolhouse belltower,
Skin the cat" in sehoolboy fashion
and jumping back to earth again
declare he could lick any man in
the world, bar none. Tor any
amount !? Still, after fashion this
happened. Ask Ma Galloway, Sam
and John and they'll all plead
guilty. The baby who caused all
this was lusty fellow and weighed
little in excess of II pounds, %
carat, fine. DIR. Galloway and DR..
Mrs. Houseman were in attendance
and the report is that both mother
and child are doing the very best
possible under the circumstances

Division Knock ed Out

The act creating Lewis and Clark
counties out of kootenai was de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court at Lewiston on Monday
last, Justice Ailshie writing the opin-
ion concurred in bv Justice Sulli-
van, Chief Justics Stockslager dis
senting
special to the Statesman says
that IN the majority opin on there
was no question of the legislative
power to create Lewis county with
the seat at Standpoint, had the re-
mainder been continued as kootenai
with Rathdrum as the seat Ii be-
| ing admitted that had not the name
of Kootenai oeen changed and the
old county reorganized the legisla-
ture would have been powerless to
establish the seat at Occur d'Alene
instead of Rathdrum, therefore the
prohibition of the constitution was
thought to be circumvented. In
concluding the court says:
/. There is still enough territory
in this state for the creation of a
large number of new counties of
constitutional area and the ques-
tion must necessarily come mp be-
fore every succeeding legislature. A
right determination Is Of vast i'm.
poftance to the people Of the state
and to future legislation.
at follows from what has been
said that | consider the act in yio-
lation of the constitution. II is so
held and the writ will be quashed
and the proceedings dismissed"
