Moved Mill.

The South Fork mill which
formerly stood on the South Fork
No. i has been moved to the
South Fork No. 8, where such
ore as is free enough to be treat
ed on the ground will be sorted
and miIled there, while the more
refractory ore will be shipped as
usual. Mr.. Espey has had a
force of men at work opening
new ore reserves on his bonanza
for several months.

FOREST RESERVES.
BY w. B, HEPBURN.

discussing this question from the
fact that the forestry bureau has
seemed to select that state as a
play ground for its fancy and has
made it the victim of its un-
American policy, to the end that
it's settlement is being retarded,
and the home maker is discOur-
aged from approaching it, and
those already settled within its
borders are hampered and en-
barressed in the exercise of their
rights under the law.
The best protectors of the
forest against fire and other
wasteful devastation are the peo-
pie living within it, with their
home and property at stake. 1t
is the neighbors banding together
that will respond most quickly
to these dangers and most eff
fectively prevent them.

within the timber from choice.

and educated the families and
then produced men that have
made history.
The only people within the
state who favor the forest re-
serve policy as administered are
those who have not considered
the question or those with some
selfish purpose to serve. The
large timber syndicates, who
have secured vast areas of the
finest white pine and other tim
ber in the world within Idaho,
would like to see the field of fu-
ture possession of timber lands
by individuals closed. They are
thus relieved from the competi-
ton of the custom mill and the
local supply upon the market
which would come from the sale
of the excess timber on the home
steads and other legal claims
which. should be made within
these reserves.

who is the head Of the forestry
service, together with, the chief
forester of the United States, re-

greenish. The yellow, orange
and red colors of this mineral
have produced the most splendid
mineral specimens known to any

Zirconium is chemical ele-
ment named after the mineral
zircon. 1t is also found in other
minerals such as eudialyte, hya-
cinth, polymignite, etc. 1t has
many physical and chemical prop
critics resembling the element
silicon. Like silicon and carbon
it exists free in three allotropic
forms: the amorphous, obtained
as a black powder by heating
sodium or potassium; the crystal
line as foliated leaves from heat
ing sodium chromium fuoride.
with metallic aluminium, and the
graphitoidae, obtained in scales
of a steel gray color by action Of
iron on sodium zirconium. The.
oxide commonly known as zir-
coma is prepared by fusing zircon
with a mixture Of sodium hydrate
and sodium carbonate, treating
with hydrochloric acid and heat
to separate the silica, precipita-
ing the solution so obtained with.
ammonia, and heating this white
precipitate. Another method is
also used by which the chloride
is made by treating crushed zir-
con with chlorine, separating the
silicon chloride by heat, precipi-
tating the solution of zirconium
chloride with ammonia and heat
ing the precipitate. Zirconia
forms a white powder or amor
phous Jumps. Zirconium forms
a long series Of salts, in most of
which it acts as a basic element.
Zirconia has the power OF being
very refractory toward heat, not
being charged even by that of
the heat of the oxy-hydrogen
blow-pipe fame. 1t also possesses
great radiating power. Mining

SALOONS IN
THIS CITY ALL
DID BUSINESS
Order TO Close During the Prim-
ary Election Was Counter
rnanted Yesterday.
THEY VIOLATED The LAW
Middlesex County Appears to be
the Only Place in the State
Where They We're Open.

A few of the saloons closed their
doors yesterday, but the majority of
them were wide open until IL o'clock
last night. Some of them were even
open after that time, on account of
the extra business caused by the cleo
ton crowds.
City Attorney Hommann and Chief
Burke both said it was illegal for
liquor to be sold yesterday between
the hours of l O'Clock in the after
noon and O'Clock last night. AS the
opinion of the city attorney was
against the saloons being open, Chief
Burke issued orders that they would
have to close, but on being told later
that most of the saloons in the county
were doing business, he revoked his
former orders, and those who were
not already open, did SO at once. A
few were inclined to be angry because
they thought they mad been the vic
tins of hoax, but soon forgot their
troubles as the crowds filled their
rooms. All of them did an enormous
business, and in spite of all the liquor
sold, not one disorderly character was
arrested, in fact everything was or
derly in the city last night, all the
noise and disturbances taking place
behind locked doors.
Both the day and night policemen
were on duty and perfect order was
kept at the polls and on the streets
during the entire night.
sChief Burke and Detective Huff
were also on active duty, and the per-
feet order last night is largely due to
their efforts. A few politicians who
had taken too much" were escorted
to their homes by friends, and at the
police court this morning Recorder
Pickersgill had no cases to pass judg-
ment upon
In spite of the fact that the saloons
were open in this county they were
closed in nearly every city in the
state.

BOYS CAUSE
ANNOYANCE.
Salvation Army Complains of a
Crowd Around Their Headquar-
ters Other Complaints.

A gang of boys every night at
about o'clock congregate in front of
the Salvation Army rooms on New
Brunswick avenue, and in many ways
disturb the members of that religious
body, and also the nearby neighbors
The youths with sticks pound on the
sidewalks and houses, which seems
to be their favorite amusement. Each
night the noises are made by the
same boys, and already a number of
complaints have been received by the
police in regard to stopping the nul-
sance. A policeman will watch the
place, and the first time the disturb
ance is repeated, raid will be made
on the entire gang. 1t seems that in
every part of the city, crowds of mis-
chievous boys are continually annoy
ing people, and as soon as one gang
is dispersed, another one is COM
planned of.
Mrs. Coleman, of Al Fayette street,
is one of the complainants and last
night she reported to the police that
Harold Walters, Fred and Raymond
Jensen and the Thompson boys,
whose first names were not given, had
been throwing dirt at her house, OPP
ening and closing the shutters, and
otherwise creating a nuisance.
Chief Burke says The boys are very
troublesome, and will see that they
are taken care of.

Disappointment Over Primary Re.
+. suits Does Not Dishearten
Leader Of New Idea.

NEWARK, Sept. 26.-When the
headquarters of the League for Linn
tied Franchises and Equal Taxation
shortly after 2 o'clock this morning,
it was conceded by the new idea"
leaders that the machine had carried
the county. Before leaving for his
home in West Orange, Senator Colby
said to a News reporter:
at looks at this time as if we were
defeated There is nothing to be
said. If we are defeated one of the
ablest and most faithful delegations
Essex county ever sent to the legis-
lature has been recalled.

ted, but not in the least discouraged.
The fight which we started last year
is just becoming interesting, and this
defeat, while it may set the movement
back few months, will not deter
those interested in it from working
for ultimate results. The bishops
bill is mainly responsible for the re-
suit"

sey are accomplished facts. | believe
the great body of the republican par
ty is composed of honest and consci-
entious voters, and that they will yet
work out in our own party the prin-
ciples for which we have fought
There were at headquarters at this
time Assemblymen Austen Colgate,
Philip c. Walsh, Jr., Gustav w. Roe
ber, Gustavus f. Sommer, and Henry
G. Hines. They all declared that like
Mr.. Gibson they were in the fight to
stay, and that they were not dishear-
tened by their defeat in contest
which they looked upon as merely a
skirmish in the war they were waging
against bossism and political corrup-
ton.
Assemblyman William p. Martin,
at his home, late this morning, said:
"This has been campaign of prin-
ciple against misrepresentation. We
think we are right and will try to
convince the people that we are right.
One election does not settle the mat
ter We will go on and fight until
either we convince the people that
we are right or they convince us that
we are wrong.
