BONDS ARE ISSUED
FOR ELECTRIC LINE

Bonds in the sum of 100000 were
| ordered issued yesterday for the con-
structlon and equipment of the Lewis
ton Southeastern Electric railroad and
the power site of the Central Idaho De-
velopment company on Salmon river
at the meeting of the stockholders in
both companies yesterday, says the
Lewiston Tribune. Very nearly all
the stock was represented either in
person or by proxy, and the meeting
was a most enthusiastic one. The
bonds are divided between the two
companies, the electric road issue
amounting to $4,000, 900 and the power
site to 100000.
The bonds have already been sold,
subject to the report of Engineers
Scofield and Cotes and will be turn
ed over to the financiers of the road
as soon as they can be printed. They
are secured by an indenture of mort
gage on all of the property, rights of
way franchises, ETC., owned by the
two companies
The early plans Of the electric COM
pany are for the construction of a SER
vice Of tracks 1t will be operated by
steam until such time as the
power plant can be placed in
commission. The officers of the
company look for work to
commence within three months af-
ter the bonds have been turned over
to the capitalists.

Bio Mining Deal.

One of the largest placer mining
deals reported in this country this yeal
was closed when Henry r. Herzinger
Of the Grangeville Standard News
and E. P. Wright and L. o. Nelsir
of Portland, Oregon, purchased 1900
acres of placer ground above Lucille
on the Salmon river, paying nearly
$4,000 to Henry Ricke, w. Kramer
and Emery Hirchberger says a
Grangeville report. They have already
commenced work on the placer depos-
it's, which are said to be the largest
on the river. The first work will be
confined to replacing pipes, cleaning
out bitches and installing giants. Eight
men are engaged on the work and
more will be added as soon as the ma
chinery arrives The new owners are
well known mining men, and state that
they believe they have some of the
best placer gravel in central Idaho.
