Herald, he was placed on a commit

New f ind In Old Mines.

Elmer c. Towne, of Pine, one
of the pioneer mining men of this
county, was in town Tuesday. He
had with him some good looking
rock from the Ophdr mine, at
Rocky Bar, which ne owns. r
P. Chattin, who was doing the
talking about this Gre, while Mr..
Towne was not saying a word,
would pick up piece and tell cx-
actly how much it would go, what
per cent would be saved on the
plates, to what extent it would con-
centrate and how much would be
left in the tailings after passing
through the cyanide tanks. Accord
ing to this authority it carries gold
values all the way from 5000 to
$500; with an average width of not
over twenty feet. Notwithstanding
this josh, the ore has the appear
ance of carrying good values and is
new find in that old mine. The
Ophir was patented in 1889.

mill. AT that time ore that carried
values less than $50 was not
treated.
The shaft is now down 700 feet
and the workings are full of water.
Naturally, some cave-ins will be
found when it is pumped out, and
considerable retimbering will have
to be done. Those familiar with
the mine, however, say that it is
still valuable property and that il
will stand all the expense necessary
to put it on a producing basis once
more; that large ore bodies are in
sight. On the surface there are two
veins, on an average of not more
than twenty feet apart, which come
together at depth of $50 feet.
Several causes contributed to the
shutting down of the mine, the
chief of which was litigation with
the Pittsburg, the adjoining prop
erty. All familiar with conditions
there say that these two mines
should be worked as one, in order
to operate them most economically
1t is said that the ore remains free
milling on the 700 level.

If w. c. Howie will agree to-
vote for Brady for the United States
senate, he can have the republican
nomination for state senator. He
is political friend of Governor
Gooding, which leads the wise ones
to believe that Brady would not be
a bitter pill for him to swallow.
F. c. Smith, of Glenn's Ferry,
will accept the democratic nominal
ton for county auditor. He was a
candid ate in the convention two
years ago, but went down before
the forces of Jim Purtill, the old war
horse of the party; who, in turn,
met his Waterloo at the polls. Mr..
Smith is a tenacious character and
dislikes to let go of any hope once
entertained. AS things are now
shaping themselves, it will be a.
race between him and ]. A. Siffert.
Attorneys Mclaughlin and Green
will have it out in the democratic
convention for the nomination for
county attorney, and Attorne ys
Owen and Gaines will be the con-
testants in the republican conven-
tion for the same place That will
be peach of race, both for NOM
ination and election.

While here he went TO the au-

The Elmore is one of the oldest
mines of this county. 1t was To-
Gated in 1878. Active operations
were commenced in 1886, during
which year the mill was installed.

commissioner, in condemning inn
pure food over the state was sus-
tanned and assurance given him that

secure an assistant for State
Chemist Macy, providing that
there were sufficient funds to do
so, as it was stated that he had
more work than one man could at
tend to. An action of considerable
Importance was taken when the
board decided to issue bulletins of

reports are made, instead of holding
them until their approval at the
boards meetings. This will place
reports before the public while they

Well That Freezes Water.

The correspondent up at Kamiah
who draws on his imagination for
space filters in the Lewiston Tell
er, whose speciality runs to extremes
of temperature; describing at one
time a large surface area warmed
by subterranean heat; at another a
cave of ice frozen by chemical
action in Natures laboratory, IS
evidently running shy on imagina-
ton, for he has recently sprung
one of his old ideas, made over
into this changed guise: An ice
we'll on the farm of w. L. Jewell,
located two miles southeast of Ka-
miah, has aroused considerable in
terest among the people of this SEQ
ton. The well was dug for do
mestic purposes last year and when
sufficient depth was secured by
which d good flow of water was
expected, the workmen encountered
body of ice. The work was aban-
doned and it was believed within {
few days the ice would disappear,
but on the contrary the ice volume
has increased and is not affected. by
the heat of summer. During the
past few weeks the phenomena
condition has been carefully watch
ed and it is now believed some
subterranean channel has been tap
ped that with development will af
ford cold storage facilities withou
further cost. A bucket of ~atet
will become solid ice within few
hours even during the heat of ;
.tsummer's day if lowered into thu
we'll, and it is probable an investi
cation will be made in the nea
future with a view of installing
cold storage system.

Well Pleased Visitor.

Among the visitors in town last
vile, Iowa, who filed on a home
stead while here, and arranged for
a water right. Mr.. Kennedy is an
old-timc friend of the late Governor
Steunenburg and his brother, and
he visited with the latter before
coming to Mountain Home. He in
spected various irrigation projects
in this state and finally decided
that the one here has advantages
over all of them, notably for the
reason that the proposition is not
enveloped in governmental red tape
and the land seeker is not confined
to patches of from ten to forty acres.
What impressed him most favorably
originally $1.25, when improved,
by the expenditure of $50 for a per-
petua1 water right, and from five
to ten dollars in labor, is quoted at
500 an acre, yet you find no farms
for sale at that figure. All through
the irrigated districts improved
lands pay interest en- several times
that valuation and, of course, can't
be bought at that price. He natu-
rally concludes that this is the
greatest, surest, money making
p1 oposition ever presented to farm
ers, and he has declared himself
in on it.

Some work was done on it last year.
The Tahoma was one of the prolific
producers in the early days, and
still has large ore reserves, that only
need the application of modern
methods to make it a profitable

FRIDAY, FEB 9, 1906.

The general public deos not appear to be very deeply engaged in specula. tive operations, yet a large class of very wealthy and somewhat inexperi enced plungers have entered the mar, ket, and it is they who are relieving big holders of their surplus stocks and sustaining the present unusual ac, tivlty on the stock exchange, says Banker Clews. Some of these gentle, men experienced rather severe losses during the month of January. and it is to be hoped that such experiences will discourage the extravagaut specu lation which has been the chief men. ace of the market of late. The gen, eral business situation continues em. inently satisfactory, which is cxcm. pllfied by the splendid statement of the United States Steel corporation for the past quarter, showing profits Tor the year 1905 of S20O, ,OOO,OOO and untitled orders of 7,6Oj,0S6 tons. Many of the other ndustrials are also show. ing handsome earnings. and were it not that so many of these institutions arc so grossly over-capitalized they would be entitled to more of rlsr than they have had.

Scienty. The alternating current trans former costs considerably less than half as much as any form of electric generator, and transforms the energy received into energy of different volt age at a loss of only two to three per cent. Hence, by carrying about q piece of apparatus neither very costly nor very heavy, one can receive from the line energy at very high voltage and deliver it to the motor at what ever lower voltage may be required. The alternating current motor in itself is not especially suitable for high volt age. but the combination of transform CT and motor can not only work on hish-voltage circuit but, on the motor side can be operated with as Wide q range of voltage as may seem deslr- able for the purpose of regulation.

Santo Domingo has given this coun. try considerable trouble and promises more and there is little doubt that the sugar interests of the island are stir ring up the trouble in the hope that sooner or later the United States will be compelled to take possession of the island and either administer it's affairs as we did those of Cuba for q period or take it over entirely as we nave done with Porto Rico. says q well known representative at the uation's capital. The tariff on sugar is so high that if Santo Domingo should become part of the union and be taken with in the tariff walls. it would mean i'm mensc fortunes for the sugar plant CTS of the island and the firm -hand ,Qf Uncle Sam would guarantee stable government which would enable them 10 secure and retain an adequate sup ply of labor. While eventually tho United States will probably take in Santo Domingo as well as the Danish
 West Indies and other islands in the Caribbean sea, there is absolutely no desire whatever on the part of the aa-
 ministration to hasten that day.
 Whether the sugar interests of the is land will bc able to force the hand of the administration remains to he seen.
