Having made several changes
in the methods of conducting
this department there seems no
reason whatever why the board
ing should not pay a profit for
each month, i. e. whenever there
are as many as ten men board
ing with the company,
For the past three months the
average number of men employed
has been about IA, while from
this date on the number will be
considerably increased, the pres
ent number being 18.
The mill is being started on
the first of April with sufficient
water to operate II stamps, all
other parts of the machinery be-
ing hung up. With this present
supply of power the average
number of stamps will be not far
from ten. All "a stamps will be
working steadily within the next
ten days.
At this time the ore bins are
all full as well as the chutes i1
the mine, and with the mine ir
its present promising condition,
the prospects for a steady supply
of ore is very good indeed. How
ever, with the past unsettled
condition too much should not be
expected. The effort of the
management is to be diligently
conservative and we desire tt
ask as much of the stockholdel
whose ready sympathy we be
lieve will make the Jumbo q sue
cess.
Respectfully submitted,
D. l.. Filler,
Secretary.

VIII Test C.eaclserjack Ore.

Messrs. Turnbull and Kemp, OF
the Idaho Reduction company,
the srnelter company at Charleston
are this week down on the Clear
water, looking over the county,
with view of testing their pro-
cess on the ores of that section.
Mr.. Turnbull was for years as
sociated with Senator Hearst and
his bonanza associates, Messrs.
Tevis and Haggin, and is a miner
and engineer Of much ability.
The two gentlemen are sanguine
that their process would be one
ideally adapted to the reduction
of ores in this section.
Negotiations are under way
for the complete testing of the
Crackerjack ore in the Hump, by
the Ryder process, as used by the
Charleston company. The Crack
erjack has rich ore, and no end
of it, but the amalgamation pro-
cess does not seem to succeed in
saving the values. If the new
process will save the rich metallic
values, as is claimed, instead of
allowing so large percentage to
go into, the tailings pile, it may
be the one thing lacking to make
Buffalo Hump really great
camp. The rich ore is there, be-
yond question, and method of
handling SO as to extract all the
values. is all that is lacking. =

''The timbered section in ques-
ton is a part Of the proposed adj
dition to the Payette forest re-
serve.
Senator Hepburn, referring
to the incident said that the
power given to the president to
withdraw lands for forestry pur-
poses does not repeal the act
giving the right to cut timber for
railroad construction. He has
telegraphed E. M. Heigh, gen.
eral manager of the railroad
company, to press the validity Of
the departments action"
The action Of the department
Of justice was, of course, at the
instance of Forester Pinchot,
and shows to what extremes the
reserve business is being pushed
in Idaho. Even the. plain letter
Of the law is set aside by the de-
partment of justice to crafty the
insatiate demand for reserves
and the power to dominate the
people. Those who minimized
the evil of the forestry policy of
the government now have an OBJ
ject lesson, and they will see,
too, that unless congress steps in
and checks the policy the growth
of Idaho will be seriously men
aced, particularly the northern
portion of it, which would crafty
Senator Dubois. :
We have all along entertained
suspicion that Senator Dubois
was no warm friend of the
northern countless. Untrammell-
ed they would glow too rapidly
IN population and political power.
By throwing them into reserves
he can hold the population down,
If this is not the senator's sinis-
ter motive then we have mis-
judged him. But where can his
motive lead to, if il is not in line
with our suspicion? He is a
violent, frenzied and uncom,
promizing advocate of the Pin
chot reserve policy, stop-not
even to misrepresent the lands
, covered by forests. This much
g must be understood by the peo.
pie: If the government gets

laws will be denied them, anC

When the Milwaukee Comes.

The completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
through Idaho and Washington
is likely to open up a section Of
mineral country that is just be-
ing taken into serious considera-
tion. AS announced, the road
will probably cross the Bitter
Root mountains through Lolo
pass and run down the Clear
water river to Lewiston; then
through southeastern Washing
ton and up the Columbia river,
crossing the Cascades through
Snoqualmie pass, then down to
the sound, making its principal
tidewater terminus at Seattle.
Fifty miles south Of the Mil
waukee line is the rich Buffalo
Hump country, which, though
small in area, gives promise of
having a few mines that will be-
come liberal wealth producers.
The larger portion of this inter-
vening country is occupied by the
Elk City basin, which is from 20
to 30 miles from the new road.
According to the estimate of men
who are familiar with the country
advertising and transportation
facilities are all that the Elk City
district requires to make it as
busy a mining camp as any dis
trict in Idaho.
AS a quartz country the Ell
City basin is comparatively new
though it is an old placer camp
There are now a number O.
quartz properties fairly we'll de
veloped, all showing good bodies
of ore, some of them very larg,
. in extent. There are severa
stamp mills at work in the dis
trict.
The district is about 10 or l.
miles square and is destined t,
become an active mining camp
Transportation is a matter o
considerable Importance, but will
, be materially improved by tn
completion Of the Milwauke
! road through the Bitter Roo
, range. This will also, probably
> lead to the extension of tn
' Clearwater branch of the North
, ern Pacific from Sites to Ell
r City, a distance of about 80 miles
The district is we'll timbered an
: well watered and gives promis
of becoming a substantial minin
camp. The ores are free milling
and can be treated at a compare
lively low cost. Spokane Chron

To the stockholders of the Jumbo
Mining and Milling Co., Ltd,
wherever this may come;
Gentlemen: In presenting you
with the first quarterly report Of
the conditions existing at your
property, as we'll as of the finan-
ces of the company, we desire to
present the facts in as unvarnish-
ed a manner as possible, trusting
that you may find in them the
ingredients of renewed hope and
confidence.
On the whole the outlook for
the future of the Jumbo mine is
encouraging, Notwithstanding a
number of unfavorable condi-
tions the question of power is of
the greatest Importance. For
the present year the snowfall in
this vicinity is fully up to that
Of the average year and by TAX
ing some precautionary measures
we anticipate a full summers
run of the mill. The country
from which we get the necessary
drainage to supply the water for
our power purposes is limited and
preventing economical opera
tions for the entire year. Thus
it will sometime be necessary to
augment our present power
equipment with an electric plant
onssome lower stream.
For the present year all devel-
opinent work has been suspend
ed, as well as every other outside
improvement which is not abso-
lutely necessary to the present
economical operation of the mine.
The last development work in
tunnel No. a was stopped in the
latter part of January, the con-
tract for which was given in
1905 and the pay for which ap-
pears in the table of distribution
given below, the amount being
$464.85.
We are assuming that every
present stockholder in the COM
pany has knowledge of the two
extremely dry seasons, just past,
causing distressing shortage in
water for power purposes and of
the heavy cave in the No. 8 stope
which occurred in April, 1905, and
leading up to the assessment of
last August. In an effort to re-
gain this lost ground the property
was kept in operation during the
latter part of the season and
bringing the company up to the
close of the year with a heavy
debt. During the fall the chlori-
nation plant produced sufficient
funds to reduce this debt to ap-
proximately eleven thousand
dollars. At this point the newly
elected management took contro
of the property, secured a loar
of $500 and continued the op.
Grafton of the chlorination plant
which produced in January ST..
950.80, in February So, ,464.7 Y
and which, with the returns of {
shipment of concentrates to the
Tacoma smelter, returning $699. 6S
and $54 inturned from the mine
gave a fund of SIG, 1913. The
greater part of this fund has beer
paid out by the treasurer on ole
accounts previously authorized
and for which amount referenc,
is hereby made to his report.
Following is table of genera
expense for the months of Janu

HAVE A PURPOSE.

Live for something, have a purpose,
And that purpose keep in view;
Drifting like a helpless vessel
They can ne'er to life be true,
Half the wrecks that strew life s ocean,
If some star had been their guide,
Might have long been riding safely;
But they drifted with the tide.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Be glad of pain
In sorrow sweetest things will grow,
AS flowers in rain
God watches; and thou wilt have sun
When clouds their perfect work have
done. Lucy Larcom.

both the National Jewish Hospital OF

Relief Society are simply drop in the
bucket in helping to alleviate the suffer-
ing. If more institutions Of this char
acter could be started the better it
would be. In fact, we could use several
hundred more like our institutions to
begin to do some good, hence you see
that all Of us who have pure motives in
helping these poor unfortunates should
of this character and instead of in
quiet way, knocking one another should
assist the work Of each other. | have
really been anxious to become contrl-
butor to your association and would be
willing to do so at any time. L hope to
be able to visit Denver in the near fu-
ture and will be very much pleased not
alone to make the acquaintance OF your
board of officers but as well to visit your
institution"
We sincerely hope that the time is not
far distant when these two institutions
will combine their interest, and work
hand in hand. For do we not work for
the same end, or do we not derive our
income and inspiration from the same
source?"

Sailed Through Blood BED Sea.

For hours the bark z. =. Rithet, Capt
McPhail, sailed through a blood req sea.
What the stuff was that colored the
ocean such strange hue is unknown,
but it is believed that some submarine
volcanic action so stirred up the bottom
during the big disaster of April IS that
the top of the ocean was colored for days
after.
The Rithet arrived this morning, six
teen days from San Francisco, and with
her came Capt. McPhail with his re-
port of the strange color Of the sea.
The red sea was encountered the evening
of April %, five days after the big dis
aster in California. Capt. McPhail
says that he noticed the strange color
of the sea when the vessel was about
$50 miles to the south I'D west of San
Francisco, bound for honolulu. The
color was a rusty reddish. 1t appeared
in streaks about sixty to enc hundred
feet in width. These streaks ran north
and south, and extended as far as the
eye could reach. In the morning there
was no further evidence of the strange
color.
One of the Acapulco steamers had
similar experience, only the streaks were
closer in toward the coast than those
Capt. McPhail saw.-Hawaian Star.

early in the Nineteenth century. They
had fourteen children. Two died in in
fancy. Twelve were raised TO mans es-
state. Mrs. Simeon Ellington died at the
age of rs. Mrs. Daniel Dominy at the
age of 10 and Mrs. Tom Du pree at
the age of 81. Of the men, Salathiel
Fordham died ut the age Of 50, Frank
