6. f. HAYDEN TALKS
ABOUT OUR MINES

While in Boise early in the week
Charley Hayden handed a States
man reporter some good, stiff talk
about our mines. He told him tnat
the mining outlook here is far
there is greater activity. This
extends to all the districts of the
county.
AT Rocky Bar the old Ida-Elmore
is to be started up. Pittsburg cap
ital has taken hold of the property
and it is soon to be reopened. All
the obligations against the property
have been settled, and the decks
have been cleared for placing the
old mine on the active list once
more. 1t has famous record as a
producer, and those familiar with
it have no debut it is capable of du-
plicating what it has done.
With improved methods of treat
ment, ore can be reduced which
was not amenable to old methods,
and, as there is abundance of ore in
the lower levels, much of which
could not be handled in the old
days, it is the confident belief that
! the property will again become a
i lCetNCl Tic proper
ties of the state.
! 1t was further stated by MIR. Hay
den that the Wide West, the Pitts
burgh and other properties at Rocky
Bar are being taken hold of by new
blood and will be worked again
within 18 months.
Dan Reber will soon have his
plant for the long tunnel he is run
ming to open his group of properties
in the Dixie district. 1t is expected
daily. When it comes, operations
will soon be going on more vigor-
ously than ever on the tunnel pro-
! ject.
Mr.. Hayden also said the great
irrigation project being put through
by Mr.. Garrett is adding to the gen
era1 activity. Most people, he
says, do not appreciate it's magni
tude or Importance. 1t has an in
direct effect on the mining busines:
by attracting increased attention t'
the country. Car loads of people
are coming into Mountain Home

At Work on Garrett-BaiIey Block.

Gendron & Perrin, to whom the
contract was awarded for the erec-
tion of the Garrett-Bailey building
on the corner of Canyon and Jack
son, have begun laying the concrete
blocks, of which it will be con-
structed. They will first finish
that part of the block consisting of
three store rooms, with seventy-five
feet frontage on Jackson avenue,
two stories high. Later two more
will be added, where the Garrett
barn now stands. The lean-to is
already being torn down. Saturday,
while exCavating at the bottom of
the basement to put in a stone
foundation for one of the walls,
water was encountered at a depth of
only two or three feet, or about ten
or twelve feet from the surface,
which soon filled the trench. At
another point in the cellar a hole
was dug five feet and a good flow of
water was secured, which is be-
ing used in building operations,
mixing mortar, and so forth.

Hauling Lumber so Miles.

]. 0. Baker, the saw mill man
of Trinity, arrived in town yester-
day forenoon, ahead of six wagon
loads of lumber, about 10, 600 fleet,
for dealers here. His mill is fifty
miles from Mountain Home, and
still he competes successfully with
mills on railroads. When lumber
can be hauled that distance in wag-
ons, and sold at a profit, it is a safe
bet that the railroads are not losing
any money on the transportation of
lumber. Mr.. Baker says the roads
which he and other private parties
have been building in the vicinity OF
Trinity are completed, and are prov
ing of great benefit to that section.

BOrah Wins. Hands Down.

This convention nomination of
senator proposition has proven to
be sort of tidal wave affair. From
every section of the state come re-
ports of primaries and county con-
ventions that have declared for Bo-
rah and his request for an endorse
ment at the republican state con-
vention. The state machine and
federal officials have fought him at
every turn, but the people seem to
have gotten the idea in their heads
that they can come nearer getting
a square deal in convention than in
the legislature, and as they favor
Mr.. Borah for senator, have in
structed their representatives to so
proclaim the fact by resolution at
the Pocatello convention. MIR. Bo-
rah telephoned ]. H. Garrett Tues
day that there is no doubt but what
he has won by big majority.

GOLDEN KING WILL BIT
UWAIERED AND WORKED

c. E. Thum, of Pocatello, was
in town Saturday on his return
from trip of inspection to the
Golden King, in the Dixie district
He was accompanied by G. A.
Beardsley, of New York, repre-
senting eastern capitalists, who
will be associated with MIR. Thum
in the operation of the property.
The Golden King group has
been in litigation for a number
of years. The case was instituted
in the probate court of this county,
and has dragged through to the
supreme court, which several
months ago threw it out on appeal.
During a number of years the prop
erty has been idle and in charge of
a caretaker.
A great deal of development work
was done prior to the litigation,
and the workings reached the 45o-
foot level, much ore having been
blocked out. A cyanide plant and
mill were installed on the property,
but these have been practically ruin
ed and will have to be replaced.
The mine is full of water to the
15O-foot level, and arrangements are
said to have been made to pump
this out at once, after which min
ing operations will be prosecuted
without interruption.

ferred the Maverick man to r. w.

derstood from other directors that
arrangements for beginning con-
struction work at no distant day
have practically been completed !;
but that nothing definite will be
given out on this phase of the en-
terprise until after the meeting Sat

The general government hes
loaned nearly $40, o,OOo,o 600 for the
purpose of reclaiming arid lands
and providing homes for the people.
The loan was made through an act
of congress approved by President
Roosevelt four years ago. At the
Idaho meeting the government is
going to be asked to add $500, :
600, 900 more to the loan made to
it's citizens for the more rapid COM
p1etion of the works now under
construction. Senators and MEM
bers of congress are the real trus-
tees of the government in the
loans made, and they are coming
to investigate the conditions of
the security which reclamation is
giving to insure its repayment.
The investigation will show that
the land in the desert state was
originally without value, because it
produced nothing. At a cost of $40
to $50 per acre, advanced by the
government for water, the land
yields a certain crop the first year
of cultivation worth $50 an acre,
and finds ready sale at 500 an
acre. With the security thus offered
there can be no good reason advanc-
ed why the government should not

BIG COUNTY FAIR WILL
BE HELD OCTOBER3 3 TO 6
Three Thousand Dollars in Purses and
Prizes---WiI be Something to
Interest Everybody

The men who do things in this
town have been caucussing among
themselves for a week past and have
definitely decided to hold big
county fair here this fall. The
dates have not yet been fixed,
nor have the details been arranged.
There have been number of infor-
NAL meetings, with different citi-
zens present on different occasions,
]. H. Garrett being Johnny on
the spot" as a general thing.
Tuesday evening party met at
his stables over at the race track
and threshed the whole proposition
over at length. ALI present had
talked to others. They exchanged
views and reached a few definite
conclusions. The paramount policy
will be the effort to interest every
body. There will be prizes, money,
medals, and diplomas for those who
have any thing of excellence to dis
play; farm products, garden truck,
fruits, preserves, needle work, ores,
cattle, sheep, hogs. poultry; all will
be given chance to win something.
And, besides, there will be some
horse racing, to amuse the children.
Purses amounting to $4,000 will
be offered. The fair will be held
October 3, 4, and 6.
For trotting and pacing races
there will be $1,000 in purses offer
ed; for running races $500; for re-
lay races, bucking contests and mis-
ce1laneous sports $500, and for
general premiums $500. The citi-
zens of Mountain Home and Elmore
county will donate $1,000 to the
fair.
y The Short Line has agreed to run
excursions at cheap rates all during
the four ssdays of the fair, and
otherwise help boost the enterprise.
The following big list of directors
have been chosen: j. H. Garrett,
A. M. Hall, c. H. Walker, R. Lar
son, E. c. Towne, w. A. Reynolds,
Tom Mcmillan, George P. Hall, J.
L. Weaver, A. Pence, c. b. Fara-
day, E. Pearson, ]. A. Siffert, E.

B. Ross, c. Ramsey, ]. H. Casey,
W. A Nixon, John Turner, Lars
Jacobson, George Butler, Daniel
Kirby r. p. Chattin, L. B. Green,
and perhaps one or two others who
have escaped.
Organization will be effected
within few days, when more de-
tailed information will be available.
Those who have fine specimens
of grain are requested to preserve
them. Maverick here repeats the
advise of an expert on this subject,
which was published last week.
He says:
All grasses should be gathered
when in full bloom. They should
be cut off just under the ground, to
get the full length and also to show
manner of root development. Ar
range in bundles at once; wrap
in paper to exclude all possible
light and hang up to dry. All grain
should be gathered when kernels
begin to harden, but unlike grass
es, they should be exposed to the
air to cure. This will give the
beautiful golden color necessary for
exhibits. All bundles should be
arranged neatly, with heads as near
alike as possible, great care being
taken that only variety desired
should be in the bundle.
