Owl Creek mountains and adjacent
territory, says MIR. H N. Darton,
geologist, of the United States Ge-
illogical Survey, in a recent report
on this region. This report, which
was made in accordance with sem
ate resolution, has more than usual
interest because of its bearing on
the value of the lands in the coded
portion of the ShoshOne Indian res
ervation, Wyoming, which will be
open for settlement on August Is.
There has been no development OF
mineral resources in the Owl Creek
mountains and the immediate vicin-
ity, but Mr.. barton is of the opin-
ion that when the GRANTEES and as
ISOLATED rocks of the region are
thoroughly explored, valuable min
erals such, as gold and copper may
possibly be found. He predicts also
that coal of local value will be dis
covered in the Laramie formation.

are among the assets of the region,

SOURCE OF PRAIRIE
BASIN TIN FOUND

The existence of large quantities
of stream tin in the placer gravel of
Prairie Basin was made known by
the pioneer miners The source of
this mineral remained a mystery
until very recently. Mr.. Eli
Minert, who owns the old placer
mine at the head of Big creek, has
been tracing this tin float quite
persistently for the past year, with
the result of a discovery of the ore
in place.
Mr.. Minert returned from the
camp last week with some fine
specimens of tin ore, in which the
mineral occurs in the cassiterite
form, which he secured from a
dixie formation some three miles
from the placer deposit of stream
tin. These specimens are very rich
tin, and the supply is said to be
very large. The occurrence is in
kind of granitic-trachyte dixie
structure. This formation prevails
in large section of the mountain
region of the Prairie Basin drain
age. 1t is now recalled that this
stream tin is found on the bars oil
all the water-courses that cut this
coarse trachyte formation. This
discovery by Mr.. Minert has prob
ably given to the prospectors clew
that will open up an importan
field.
Many samples of this tin ore have
been displayed in the past two OF
three years, but the assay tests die
not yield a payable per cent of thu
mineral. 1t now transpircs tina

LOST QUARTZ MOUNTAIN
MINE IN CENTRAL IDAHO

p. c. Huffman & Co., stock brok-
ers in New York, have compiled a
folder containing a half dozen or
more of the old, familiar fake sto-
ries about lost mines. They are
sending these stories to newspapers
all over the country, accompanied by
a circular letter, stating that the
matter is not copyrighted, that
newspapers are at liberty to reprint
the stuff, and emphasizing the fact
that no free advertising is concealed
therein. Kullman & Co., of course,
have some dollar purpose in going
to this trouble and expense, which
has not yet developed. An off-hand
guess as to their object is that
they are preparing to sell stock in
a company organized for the alleged
purpose of looking for these myth
ical mines, and are thus working
up public interest in the subject.

fraud yet accredited to mining,

An unusually sad case of a lost

SENATOR HEYBURN'S
QUEER POSITION

The position taken by Senator
Hepburn, OF Idaho, with reference {
to interference in politics by feder-
al officeholders indicates that the
gentleman is a long way behind the
times. In talk to the Republican .
state. convention at Pocatello, Mr..
Hepburn said:
''When / am instrumental in
the appointment of Z any man to
office and he writes to me that he
is out of politics because he is in
office, l see to it that he gets out
of office as soon as possible. -
The senator attempted to qualify
this statement by defining a poll
tician as one who takes an interest
in the government of his country,
and that all good citizens should
take an interest. With reference
to the average citizen MIR. Hey
burn is right; with reference to
federal officeholders he is decidedly
wrong. The trouble about the lat
ter is that they never lose sight
of the power that appointed them
and they are for that power, right
or wrong. The question of good
government or bad cuts no figure
with them whatsoever. When
Senator Hepburn insists that such
men should get into politics he prac-
tica1ly advocates the construction
of machines kept oiled and in rum
ming order by federal and other
patronage.
The Senator from Idaho and Spo-
: kane should remember another
point. The officeholder' time does
. not belong to him, but to the peo-
: pie. He is not, by virtue of his
, office the master of the people. He
. is their servant. And every time
> he leaves the work he is paid by
: the public to do in order that he
+ may further in some way the polit-
4 ical fortunes of the Individual who
appointed him, he is by that much
o. robblng the people. We do no
h see how Senator Hepburn can ge
a away from this proposition.
# But Senator Hepburn is old
n fashioned in other respects. H
a is against the election of Unitec
J. States senators by direct vote of tn
% people, perhaps because he realize
: that in a straight contest before tn
~ people of Idaho his chance of cleo
>, ton would be extremely slim. TIL
# senator believes the protective tariff
10 is holy and sacred institution
If In his Pocatcllo speech he openl
- declared himself in favor of tarii
~ schedules that would make it i'm
possible for any foreign country
Ct market its goods here. Mr.. Hey
in burn evidently has no appreciatio
in of the wide demand in his ow
ID party for a revision of the tart
r schedule. 1t is a demand that
ne so strong, even in the republica
lie party in Idaho, that if Senate
G. Hepburn clings to his present pos
&c ton he will die the death, poll
n. ically, and that within very sho
,iv time.

New YolL. Aug. 15.-There was :
riot on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
railroad at KensingtOn, which devel-
oped over assaults made on passen-
gers who refused payment of an eX-
cess fare to Coney island. Before the
riot vas quelled one man was badly
injured and several were arrested.
Two hundred citizens and 80 police,
men and several employees Of the com
pany took part in the fighting. The
row started when Siegfried Guggen-
helm, a real estate dealer. on his way
to Brooklyn, refused to pay a second
fare. Nineteen cars filled with pas
sengers were on the Gravesend sid
ing. The passengers enjoyed them
selves wrecking the cars until there
was nothing b~reakable left in them.
Police were on guard to see that the
passengers were not assaulted, but
they did not interfere when the pas
sengers took their revenge out on the
car fixtures.
