The General Grant.

This property is situated about
three miles south Of town on the
Elk City-Dixie wagon road. 1t
was owned by the late Henry
Ternan, and is under bond to
Spokane people who have been
carrying on development work
for several months with the most
gratifying results. G. ]. Calvert
a miner of 80 years experience
has charge of the operations.
The vein is opened at various
points along its course a distance
of 600 feet, by shafts and open
cuts, in all of which is an ex-
cellent quality of ore. This is
especially true of the two shafts
which are Sc and 36 feet deep
respectively. Both show a clean
body of high grade ore from
collar to bottom.

Orogrande, April IL, 1906.


The main Schlosser tunnel at
the Umatilla is in fine mineral
lied zone matter and has been
for some time. This material
assays from 81 to $40 per ton.
This property ranks among the
very best in the district, and is
being scientifically and system
atically developed under the very
efficient management of Prof. w.
c. Brewer.
The main level at the Butterfly
has encountered vein matter that
pans free and assays in a very
gratifying manner. Important
developments will be made at
this point on this proposition, as
this vein is both rich and very
we'll defined, besides yielding
specimen rock. This vein is ac-
companied by vast quantities of
average grade zone material.

DIXIE ITEMS.
Dixie, Idaho, April 6, 1906.

trict is now in sight on the
Tiwaka group of claims, owned
by Messrs. Burk, Kinds and
Booi. The owners have dill
gently pushed work all winter in
running a 100-foot cross-cut
tunnel, to tap the ledge near the
bottom of a 50-foot shaft, and
are rewarded for their persever-
ance by uncovering a body of
high grade ore that will of a
surety awaken interest in and
around this camp. The ledge as
uncovered is 16 feet between
walls. Seven feet of this is good
clean ore that assays over $40
per ton. | have it on the most
positive assurance from Mr..
Burk, who took the. sample, that
this is not a picked sample, but
represents as nearly an average
as it is possible to get. The
balance of the ledge samples 81.
Mr.. Burk says he feels certain
the whole ledge will mill $50.
There is new departure mill
the invention of a Portland man
-on the Tiwaka. This was
erected last fall, but did not get
started before snow fell. 1t has
capacity of five tons; and it
will be in operation in a few days.
Klee Sattal arrived on today's
stage from Seattle, Wash. He
comes to take the place of M. F.
Tytler as manager of the Com
stock mine. Mr.. Tytler has done
a great deal of good work since
he arrived in camp two years
ago; and has worked hard and
persistently to make mine of
the property he represented.
That he has attained this end is
attested in the fact that during
the past year from the net profits
the mine has paid for itself, and
the purchase price, while not
positively known, is said to be
no small amount. New stock
holders in the company are re-
sponsible for Mr.. Tytler stepping
down and out, and it is with sin
cere regret that this camp sees
him deposed. Mr.. Tytler himself
is a large stockholder in the com
pany and will remain here t(
look after his interests.
Robert G. Bailey arrived il
Dixie today, having come in from
his winters sojourn in the cas-
by way of Salmon City an(
thence down the Salmon river il

the N. M. cd. Co., Of Washing
ton, D. G. This company own
large dykes on Salmon river a

dykes aggregating in width owe
300 feet. Mr.. Bailey brough
supplies from Salmon City to tn
property in large barge, havinl
on board when he left the uppe
river 10000 pounds. The rive
was very low, and as a conse
quence navigation was extreme
ly hazardous. But no mishap
occurred, and the cargo wa
safely landed at it's destination
To Harry Guleke, an old rive
man, belongs the credit Of pilot
ing the expedition through safely
1t is very probable that a mi
will be installed on these dyke
this season. Eastern ,partie
have an option on stock of tn
company sufficient to accomplis
this end, and the outlook is fay
orable that the option will b
taken up.

FOREST RESERVES.
BY w. B. HEPBURN.

lOO1NIl flsOlu bf1ol w GEIAsJ
The railroads constructing lines
in Idaho complain that the with
drawals of these lands from
settlement and development seri-
ously discourage them in the ex-
tension of their lines, inasmuch
as railroads are built to accom-
modate existing settlement and
development, or to bring about
these conditions, and that long
stretches of lines through these
reserves which contribute neither
tonnage nor passenger traffic
represent a dead investment in
such roads.
Men engaged in prospecting
and mining complain that they
are subjected to trivial annoy
ances and often to serious en-
barrassment owing, to the ex-
ercise of power and supervision
by the forest officers, rangers
and other officers, who under the
regulations, claim right to pass
upon the sqficiency of their dis
covery, of their rights in connec-
tion with their development, and
the bona fdes Of their location
when they apply for patents.
The result is that prospecting
and mining within that portion
of Idaho covered by reserves is
discouraged and men are divert
ed to other fields where these
annoyances do not exist.
might euumerate many other
serious disadvantages and draw
backs resulting from the with
drawal of these vast areas of
land from the usual enterprise
and development upon which new
countries must depend for growth
but many of the disadvantages
will be obvious from an inspec-
tion of the rules which have been
made by the forestry bureau and
which they treat with the san
City of law. In addition to the
disadvantages above suggested
the forestry bureau has assumed
to take possession of the school,
lands of Idaho, given it by abso-
lutte grant by congress in admit
ting the state, of the minimum
value of more than $40, 900, ,000
and has embraced these lands
within the forest reserves and is
leasing them under its regula
tions and thus depriving the
state of the income from the use
Eot these lands, to Which 1t is en-
titled. Even conceding that sucl
leasing is warranted by law, thi!
bureau is assuming and is exer
cising the right to make contracts
for the sale Of timber, in disre
gard of the states rights al
owner of the states lands includ
! ed in such reserve, and is gen
orally holding itself out as being
prepared to make contracts tx
sell timber from these reserves
l in competition with individual
and private enterprises engaget
in the lumber business. 1t ha
become a common huckster in tn
. market for the sale of wood an,
I, timber in any quantity from al
! armful up to an indefinite mum
ber of millions Of feet. If thi
: same spirit is carried out it woul
9 not be unreasonable to expec
!, that at some future day thi
q bureau would claim government
title to the fish in the streams i
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-04-14

these reserves, and compete in
the fish markets in Idaho with
the local industry.
Government within these re-
serves is by consent of the
forester and not by virtue of the
law. 1t follows that more than
one-fourth of Idaho is deprived
Of the rights and benefits of self
government; that the natural re-
sources of this portion of the
state are withdrawn from con-
tribution to the growth and de-
velopment of the wealth of the
state. The petty regulations
made and the trifing enterprises
carried on by the forestry bureau
with reference to these regula-
tions is ridiculous in the extreme.
The pretense that such a system
is necessary to protect the gov
ernment property in its lands
and forests within the state is
puerile and groundless. The
men comprising the forestry
bureau have a theoretical interest
in these assets which the govern
ment holds in trust for the state,
to be used only for its develop
ment, growth and enrichment,
but the people who have gone to
the state and who would go there
to make there homes, rear their
families, build cities, churches
and educational Institutes, and
develop the resources of the state
from a material and political
standpoint are possessed of as
much unselfish patriotism as the
people of any other section of
the United States. Your sons,
brothers and peighbors from
every part of the United States
who have carried their traditions,
their love of country, and then
respect for it's laws and for the
right of property with them tC
the State of Idaho and other
western states have the welfare
of their adopted country and new
homes at heart, and from motives
not only of patriotism but Of self
interest can be safely entrusted
with the protection, preservation
and development of the resources
within their state, whether per
sonal, state or national. From
the manner in which they are
being treated in regard to this
question you might imagine thai
they were not citizens of tht
United States that they were
freebooters or marauders inten
only upon the destruction of tn,
country and its resources. A
comparison of the conduct Of tn,
people of Idaho and other western
states in regard to the protec
ton, preservation, conservation
and use of the resources witt
which nature has endowed thei
section of the country with tn
conduct of those who occupies
the same relative position in New
England, the southern, middl
or central states would not be t
the discredit of the people 0
Idaho and other western states
These people have done as wei
; and better, in the way of makinl
: the best of natural resources an
: in the establishment of self gov
2 ernment, in the same length o
: time than was done by their an
cestors on the Atlantic coast.

same Plan So Successful Last Year
Adopted Again by Horse
Show.


Popular prices will prevail at the Horse
show. which opens its doors Monday. Octo-
Der y. This scheme was tried last year
and proved such a success the directors of
the Horse Show association will try the
plan again this year. This means that
most of the seats in the balcony will be
sold for rs cents, with the three top rows
50 cents. This will give thousands OF cheap
seats from which about as good view of
the ring may be had as from the higher
priced seats downstairs.
A large force of men has been engaged
at the Auditorium all week. with the result
the ring will be ready for practice driving
and riding Monday evening The decora-
lions also are being put in place earlier
this year than last and the entire building
will be made a bower Of beauty. Some OF
the decora lions have been extended. TO tho
roof and the effect will be most beautiful.
The entries for the potato race have been
so numerous the management OF the Horse
Show has been compelled 10 divide the con-
testants into two classes. only ten riders
being permitted to participate each even
ing. This is distinct feature Of the
Omaha Horse Show and is one OF the de-
cided hits of the week. other western
shows have taken up the potato race and
it is a great card wherever It is put on.

Touched by the tale OF sorrow and ex-
IRENE afiiction of poverty and death sent
IN by woman who gave her name as
Ms watkins 9G33 Pinckney street, Desk
Sergeant Havey at the police station de-
tailed a man to investigate an alleged case
of destitution in a family named Beebe
living on Grand avenue between Eleventh

Havey's informant told him over the
telephone a child died in the family three
days ago from want and sickness. and that
because OF the poverty the family had
been unable 10 pay the cost OF an under
takers services. and the body still lay in
the house uncared for. 1t was further
related modification had set in and the
case was one of unusual urgency.

tale of restitution wholly untrue. A child

already It lay in a pure white comm ready
for burial Mccarthy learned Coroner
Bradley had also been misled by the story
of an awful condition of affairs, and i'm
mediately hurried to the place with a

OUR LETTER SOx.


SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. 12-(To the
Editor of The Bee)-Your editorial,
Money Held Out of Banks, in The Bee
OF the 10th. strikes the keynote. l wrote
an article on the same subject for the
South Omaha Democrat, but they failed
TO publish it, as l believe they were
afraid of stepping on someone's toes. At
least twenty-five foreigners recently
called on me and asked me to make them
belts in which to carry their money, but
In all cases / told the parties that If they
were afraid to deposit their money and
insisted upon carrying it on their persons,
L hoped they would be knocked down and
robbed, as they would be doing society
and themselves a great wrong by divert
ing money from the regular channels of
trade.
I am foreigner but like to live like
white man. There are some foreigners
who only intend to remain here long
enough to accumulate little wealth and
then return to their native countries,
where they were unable to make a living.
The American repositories might be i'm
proved by postal savings banks. but regu-
lar bank repositories are better than car
rying money around on ones person.
