Election In Oregon.

The election in Oregon Monday
was, like the state, freak. Gov
renor Chamberlain, democrat, was
reelected by from two to three thou
sand He was the only democrat on
the state ticket who came within
a Salt Lake block of getting there.
Gearin, who was running for the
United States senate under the Ore
gon make-believe law, ran far ahead
of his party ticket: but even had he
landed the votes, it would have been
an empty honor, as the Legislature
elected consists of eighty-four re-
publicans and six democrats. Both
woman's suffrage and local option,
which were being voted for under
the referendum act, were given solar

HALF MILLION POUNDS
OF MINING MACHINERY
HeIfriCh Mercantile Go. is Forwarding
Tram. COMPRESSOR and Electric
Equipment to the Atlanta.

The Hclfrich Mercantile company
has the handling of a half million
pounds of machinery for the Atlanta
mine, from which that camp takes
its name. One car load arrived
some days since and three more
reached here this week.
This machinery consists of an
aerial tram, one mile in length,
weight 200, 900 pounds; electrical
equipment, which weighs about the
same, air compressor and 10; of
miscellaneous stuff weighing 100,-
600 pounds. The air compressor
and part of the tram are already
here and is being hauled to the
mine. E. c. Helfrich says that
he is not letting the freighting by
contract, but is securing teams
wherever he can find them and
hurrying in the machinery as fast
as possible. He has now engaged
an outfit that hauls so, 900 pounds
at a trip. The roads are in fair
condition and six horses can draw
two wagons.
The Atlanta, or as il is some-
times called, the Monarch, is the
property of which Dan Kirby is
superintendent, and is owned by
Mr.. Barnsdale and associates, OF
Pittsburg. They have been at
work on development continuously
for five years and it is reported,
apparently on reliable authority,
that more than a million dollars
worth of ore has been blocked out.
Something like 5000, 900 has been
expended on the property during
that time.
For year past experts have been
at work on the treatment problem,
which is said to have been satisfac-
torily solved. The fact that this
large amount of machinery is being
installed confirms this statement.
There is an old ten-stamp mill on
the property, erected by former
owners, but no attempt has been
made. of late years to use it for
reduction of the ores.
The Atlanta is one of the old
producers that shut down when the
water line was reached and the
rock went refractory. 1t is a mat
ter of congratulation for this entire
county that it has fallen into good
hands, has been properly opened up
by that practical mining man, Dan
Kirby, and will again soon be
forced to yield up its revealed trea-
sures.

MFLLtN'S BRICK BLOCK
OCCUPIED BY FLETCHER

Rock is now being hauled for the
foundation for a brick building to
be erected by Thomas Mellen on his
lot adjoining the First National
bank block The store room will
be "a by 500 feet. The brick to be
used will come from the kiln which
Bob Moore is now burning, and he
will probably be awarded the con-
tract for erecting the building.
1t is being constructed especially
for G.. w. Fletcher, who will occu-
py it as dry goods store. Mr..
Fletcher was in the mercantile
business here for years and one of
the houses that does the most extern
sive business in this section of the
state still bears his name, the G..

1t is reported that Mr.. Mellen
will also be interested in the busi-
ness, as silent partner; but he in

COMMITTEE MUST
MEET TO Do BUSINESS

Assiduous enquiry has failed to
secure clue that would lead to the
discovery of any meeting held by
either of the Fourth of July COM
mittees appointed a week ago, so
there is little to report regarding
the celebration, in addition to what
Maverick contained in its last issue.
Chief of Police Boyd says this pro-
crastination on the part of commit
tees is a misdemcanor, at least, and
if something is not done forthwith
and Immediately, he will have to
pull the law on them.
The committee on the literary
exercises, composed of local attor-
neys, of which E. M. Wolfe is
chairman, will meet this afternoon
or evening and arrange program.
Mr.. Boyd, not in his official ca
pacity, but as member of the
committee on arrangements, has
run the subscriptions up to the
thousand dollar mark, or there
abouts; which does not include
some special purses offered on the
races by the Great Western Beet
Sugar company and ]. H. Garrett,
amounting to several hundred dol
lars.
A purse of $50 has been hung up
for the winning team in a base ball
game, to be plyaed on the morning
of the fifth. Glenn's Ferry has been
invited to come over and get drub-
bing, but has not yet accepted.

BRICK BUILDING BOOM
ON IN MOUNTAIN HOME

George Smith must have tip on
an approaching building boom. He
has installed at his place near town
an Eagle brick making machine,
with a capacity of $4,000 day.
He has prepared the mud pits and
is now experimenting with the
machine, getting it in readiness for
a run. A kiln will be burned as
soon as a couple of hundred thou
sand can be nodded.
Bob Moore has a kiln of $50, 900
now ready to be fired, of which
Contractor Smith has secured
100, 600.
Smith says in his advertisement
in this paper today, that he can
erect a brick building now just
about as cheap as a frame, owing
to the high cost of lumber, the coast
combine having advanced prices
from 25 to 40 per cent within the
past two weeks.
There is plenty of good brick clay
in the vicinity of Mountain Home ;
but sand for the molds is hauled
seven miles. Sand is quite scarce
hereabouts, and contractors say that
at no distant day, in order to get the
right kind for plaster and mortar,
it will have to be shipped in by
rail. Coal is used as a fuel in
burning kilns, and costs about two
dollars thousand brick burned.

W0OLGR0WERS ADOPT
THE SALES DAY SYSTEM
Mountain Home Will Offer $4,000
Pounds Next TueSday--Fred GoOd-
ing Goes to Boston.

A number of sheep men from
Mountain Home and vicinity went
to Boise Monday to attend the spec
ial meeting of the Idaho Woolgrow-
ers association, among the number
being Thomas Mellen, R. F. Cook
and w. T. Montgomery, who re-
turned yesterday.
The Association decided to adopt
the system that has proven so salts
factory to both buyers and sellers in
days for the principal points of
shipment. If at these sales prices
offered are such that in the judg-
ment of the growers they do not
care to dispose of their wools,
they will have the alternative of
shipping them to Boston, to be
sold under the supervision of a COM
mittee appointed to take charge of
any wool thus shipped.
1t was decided to send President
Fred Gooding of the association to
Boston to look after matters at that
end and keep tab on the situation.
Secretary Clinton will keep Mr..
Gooding posted by wire on sales
days regarding prices offered and
whether the wool is sold or shipped
on those days will depend upon the
report made by Gooding from Boston
after being informed of the prices
offered by buyers here. MIR. Good
ing will leave his home at Pocatel-
10 in few days for Boston.
The following dates for the first
sales were fixed
Boise, Monday, June II.
Mountain Home, Tuesday, June
IL.
Shoshone, Wednesday morning,
June 13, previous to the departure
of the train on the Wood River
branch.
HALEY, Thursday, June IA.
Wood River points, Friday and
Saturday, June IS and 10.
Caldwell, Monday, June 18.
Payette, Tuesday, June 10.
Weiser, Wednesday, June 20,
previous to time of departure of
train for Midvale.
Midvale, balance of Wednesday
and Thursday, June 20 and June 21.
1t is the intention to have these
sales weekly; future dates to be
fixed as conditions develop. Wool
growers in attendance at the special
meeting pledged to hold 1880, 600
pounds of wool at discretion of the
committee, and it is estimated that
not less than 5000, 600 pounds will
be so pledged. The association is
notifying buyers in all the adjoining
states of these dates, with the view
of getting as many on the ground as
possible.
Here at Mountain Home the G..
w. Fletcher company has stored in
it's warehouses at present 25 COM
plete clips, 1888 sacks, or 5S5, 375
pounds. Wool is now coming in
very freely from all directions and
this company estimates that 25, 900
or 80, 900 pounds will be added to
the above figures by Tuesday, when
the sale will take place here. 1t so
happens that Ross & Van Orff have
comparatively little wool on hand
at this time; only three incomplete
clips, though this will be added to
materially by Tuesday, as their daily
receipts are now unusually large.
1t is, therefore, probably safe to say
that $50, 600 pounds will be offered
for sale here at that time.
