EASTERNERS BUY COAL LANDS
hotchkisS Field to be Put on Big Pro-
ducing Basis. Railroad Spur
to be Built.

From the North Fork Times we take
the following particulars of an extern
sive mining deal that took place there
last week and which will prove of in
terest and benefit. not only to the peo-
pie of Hotchkiss, but of the entire
county if the transaction carries out
according to this report. The Times
says: ----- -,-.---------4-,---.ra.--
"A deal which is fraught with the
largest and brightest possibilities for
Hotchkiss and the valley adjacent was
consummated this week and from now
on great activity will he noticed in
way which few have counted on.
During the past week the Semi
Anthracite Coal & Mining Co. cor
poration composed of Washington, D.
c.. Pittsburg and Colorado men COM
pleted the deal whereby they come into
possession of the Burdick coal bank

were the active agents in making the
sale.
This property is clearly recognized by
its new owners as being the greatest
mining proposition in the state. Geolo-
gists have long accepted the conclusion
that the most immense coal body in the
world is the one lying just to the north
of this town and running for many
miles east and west. The vein now be-
ing worked on the Burdick is, on the
average, seventeen feet in thickness
and below this is still another vein
which is considerably thicker. The coal
is of very hard quality and all in the
Valley who have used it think it far
superior to any soft coal they have ever
used. 1t has the right pitch to make
it easily mined and the conditions are
such that it can be loaded into the cars
at a minimum Of cost.
Some time next week, our informant
tells US, the engineers will be here to
make survey for d. & r. G. spur to
the property. 1t is the present inten-
ton to run the spur up the Wolf Park
gulch, thus going across property
owned by Messrs. Hadly, Long, Gonna
BILE. Upton and possibly one other.
Work will Immediately begin on
erecting big buildings, shops, etc. at
the point they have selected from which
to start the big workings to be pushed.
Mining will be done on the largest and
most approved scale. The machinery
has already been ordered and will be
here within the next few days"

|BORAH ON THE RACK

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 12.-The DEM
pcrats formally launched their cam
paign with a meeting here this even
mig. This only speaker was Senator
Dubois, who spoke with great DELHI
eration, laying down what are to be
The lines of the campaign from a
democratic standpoint. Rev. Mr..
Lemon, pastor of the Christian
church, introduced Senator Dubois
with few remarks approving his po-
'sition. The senator then proceeded
to explain that the Mormon question
was the political issue in the state.
There was no other issue he said.
On other questions the republicans
and democrats are virtually united.
In proof of this he asid in congress
he and Hepburn and French voted to-
gether on practically all questions.
On the tariff question he supported
the president, while Hepburn and
French were both standpatters. He
charged that Mr. .Borah was the can
didate of the Mormons, and said that
before Christmas Senator Smoot
would be ousted from the senate and
then Borah would be the authorized
representative of the Mormon church.

HAVANA is
ISOLATED.
Cut Off From the

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 12.-This
city is almost in a state of seige.
Communication with the interior was
never SO difficult during the Span
ish days. President Palma issued a
decree last evening prohibiting vehi-
Giles and automobiles from leaving
the city limits without special permit
from the government. All outgoing
trains are inspected by detectives.
Havana is to all intents and purposes
insulated. The prices Of fresh pro-
duce and fuits have risen nearly 100
per cent in the past "a hours and
great anxiety is expressed over the
situation. There is no immediate
danger Of shortage in the food sup
ply, but even famine is not impossi-
BILE, and so long as present condi
tions continue great Inconvenience
and suffering are sure to result.

this month. Fortunate 1t was that
the last legislature authorized an ap-
preparation for the construction Of
assay and metallurgical buildings.
These buildings are now being fast
completed, and will be in perfect
readiness for the active work of the
mining department when this session
of the university begins. Out of the
fund received for the insurance Of
the destroyed administration build
ing, an agricultural haIl Is being
constructed, and will be ready for
occupancy the first of November.
The wreckage of the destroyed build
ing is now cleaned away, and work
on the new building will commence
within few days.
The old "ad'' building, as it was
Familiarity termed by the students,
was considered the best of its kind in
the entire northwest, and the one to
take its place will be far better, more
suitable and more stately than the
one it will replace. At first the reg
ular class room will be, to certain
extent, handicapped until the new
administration building is completed,
but arrangements are being made to
continue the work in the best posi-.
BILE manner and TO the advantage of
the students. At present the interest
of the friends of the university was
never more manifest, and the ENROLL
ment is certain to be larger than be-
fore. The difficulties incident to the
fire have so far been overcome that
there is no occasion for any old or
prospective student to remain away
on that account.

Hall reservation until next spring.
Senator Hepburn, after receipt of
protests against the removal this fall
sent Commissioner Leupp the follow
ing dispatch on September 6:
"Am in receipt of strong protest
on behalf of Lemhi Indians against
their removal to Fort Hall this year.
They urge that they will suffer be-
cause of insufficient provisions at
Fort Hall for houses, water and other
necessary conditions which cannot be
provided for before winter; that no
arrangements have been made or can
be made this fall for taking care of
their flocks at the new location; that
Chief Tendery and his cUunsellors are
earnestly opposed TO such removal
this fall. Does the department in
tend to pay for their Improvements
ON the Lemhi reservation before re-
movaI or does order of removal in
elude children in school at Lemhi?
Under the circumstances it seems to
me unwise to remove these Indians
until arrangements have been fully
made for their reception at the new
location. - The senator received the
following reply:
Removal Of Lemhi Indians post
pOned until next spring; improve
ments on reservation will be sold to
highest bidder; proceeds to be paid
TO Indians owning such improve
ments. "LEUPP,

The review and parade were intend

populace, but the undertaking was a
dismal failure. There was a noticea-

were silent and President Palma re-

President Palma to the command of

Havana is surrounded by rebels
and bands of them make raids into

have asked in vain for protection. So
far no outrages have been committed
by the marauders.
