Mining World.

perienced quartz prospectors and
many were the failures to find
veins of mineral through the hills
above the placers, though many
promising discoveries were made,
among them the Buster group.
1t was during the early 80s
that Mr.. S. w. Smith located a
vein about a mile from the town
and began development work.
Without ado he stayed with his
property in the determination to
be it's sole owner until its value
was recognized by mine investors.
During the month of October he
sold it for $3.50, 1000.
But Smiths is not the only
promising quartz property in the
district. for through all Of the
nils are found gold-bearing
ledges and numerous stamp mills
IRE at work pounding out values.
It is only recently, however, that
experienced lode prospectors have
oeen at work in the district.
Though placer miners have felt
certain that there were free gold
veins through the hills, success
in finding them has been of only
the Indifferent kind.
Intelligent prospecting has
been literally rewarded, though
capital. has not as yet become
generally interested in the de-
velopment work. This is the
great requirement at present to
bring to the camp probable
boom.
The gold-bearing rock is found
in various forms, from narrow
veins to great dikes. The latter
are generally of a low grade, but
when treated by cyaniding yielc
handsome returns, An extensive
cyaniding plant has been com.
pleted this fall by the Crooked
River Mining company, whose
properties are at Orogrande, Il
miles from Elk City.
Surface values in the veins
range from a few dollars to the
ton to few hundred dollars t.
the ton and in those properties
where depth has been attained
there has been found a handsom,
increase in values. So far a
tests have been made about two
thirds of the values are in fre'
! gold and one-third in concentra
tes. 1t is essentially a gold CAM
with small values in silver.

At the confluence of the mum

paid its respects to the president
Of the United States. AS the
head of the greatest free nation
on earth, he received the COR
gratulations for the accomplish
ments of the past yea |
and the good wishes fol |
the new year that is in its
infancy. 1t was a brilliant scene
that presented itself to those
fortunate enough to be guests of
the president. The diplomatic
representatives of the kings and
emperors of all the nations of the
earth were there, and resplen-
dent in the glitter of cloth and
gold reserved for state occasions.
They came to present the COM
pliments of their masters to the
president of eighty millions of
people. Not only the represen-
tatives of foreign nations, but
statesmen, sailors, soldiers, Of
fceholders, officeseekers and the
plain people who hold no office
and are seeking none, for three
hours, passed through the his
toric White House, wishing the
president and his wife Happy
New Year. The reception was
indeed picture that made the
thoughtful hark back to the be-
ginning Of the republic for some
comparison. When the first
president was inagurated, France
and Spain were the only foreign
nations representated at the
ceremony, but how different now
The most powerful nations were
glad to be represented. They
came and counted it an honor,
instead of a condescension. to
shake the hand of the president
of the United States.
George A. Raum, a pioneer OF
Idaho, who has for many years
been an employ Of the capitol,
died on the 29th ultimo of acute
indigestion. Mr.. Raum was g
native of Kentucky and 67 years
of age. He went to Idaho many
years ago and made his home al
Weiser where he had many in
terests, especially Of a mining
nature. He was appointed {
doorkeeper at the capitol about
Is years ago. and has remained
here since.
Ross E. Rowell, Of Boise, who
was recommended by Senator
Hepburn for examination for the
position of second lieutenant il
the marine corps, stood his ex
animation last week, and out o.

stood tenth in the list Of those

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

Inc Times contains the authorized announcement of Judge T. C. Folbre as a candidate for reelection to the oniee Of County and Probate Judge of st' francis county, subject to the democratic primary election.
 Judge Folbre is so well known and so highly esteemed by his constitu- ents that We scarcely know what we can say that has not already been sad ot his splendid administration. lie is now serving his second term as County and Probate Judge and the ability which has characterized his present ineumbency demonstrates his peculiar fitness for the position. Es. peciaily IS this true of the manner in which he has managed the finances of the county and the economic hand. ing or the county's expenses. When he entered upon the administration ot the county's affairs county scrip was worth from 45 to 50 cents on the dollar. He has not only paid of about sloooo indebtedness and put scrip at par, but the last July settlement showed handsome balances to the credit Of each and every separate fund, the county general fund show. ing a balance Of SIP, ,491.7J.
 Al the same time he has built and contracted for about thirtv.eieht bridges, taken up five Of the out. standing railroad bonds of 5000 each. called in and cancelled eight of the Bailey railroad bonds held in escrow by the First National Bank, of Little Rock, and afterwards sold as q part oi Its assets 10 innocent purchasers amounting 10 ss000 and interest. ag- gregating about S20, GOO, the price of which he advanced to the county out oi his own pocket, there being no available funds. He has also put a handsome and substantial stone fence around the court house grounds which Is q credit to the taxpayers ol this county, and a monument 10 his enterprise and good judgment. All these things and much more he has accomplished with only a very small increase in the countys reve- nues, and he deserves the highest praise and endorsement therefor.
 Judge Folbre served in the Confed. crate army from August, 1861, 10 May 20, 1865. He is an old-fashloned democrat and true blue to his friends at all times and under all circum- stances. He is man of sterling in. tegrity, great force of character, and has the courage Of his convictions.
 If nominated and elected he will give the business of the office his un- divided time and attention, and will serve the taxpayers of this county faithfully, impartially, economically. and 10 the very best of his ability.
 The Times bespeaks your earnest consideration of the county's best in. terests in connection with his candi. dacy, and has no hesitation in saving that his reelection will be no mistake and the affairs of the county will be in good, safe hands.

Coughs, colds and croup. to which children are susceptible, are quickly cured by its use. It counter acts any tendency of cold to result in pneumonia, and If given as soon as the first symptoms of croup appear, it will prevent the attack.

 perfect security. Sold by J. T. Sanders.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
ELECTION BETS
AND THE REASON FOR MIsREP-
RESENTATloN BY THE MORN
JOURNAL CLAP-TRAP.

Even the little things show the
prejudice and utter disregard of
truth in the Morning Journal clap
trap. In an effort to create a false
feeling of security among its followers,
the morning publication stated that a
bet of five hundred dollars on the elec.
ton of Tom Hubbell was pulled down,
when prominent man" appeared as
q taker.
The prominent man." who is an in
terested party to the election of one
lone man on the peoples ticket, want
ed to bet his money on the decision
of the county commissioners, and the
Hubbell money was up on the final
result, as should be finally determined
by the courts, If there was a contest.
The Hubbell money Is still up and
vainly awaits takers.
The willingness of those on the in
side of the workings of the gang back
ing the peoples party to bet on the
action OF the county commissioners,
with two of the three recognized
enemies of the regular republican
party; one a candidate on the peoples
ticket, and the other running his neal
relative on the same ticket, creates
suspicion, even in the minds of the
disinterested.
Why should those knowing the in
side workings of the trades and deal;
responsible for the peoples ticket be
so ready with money to bet on the
count made by their judges of election
and their county commissioners?

FRANCE LOSES ANOTHER
SUBMARINE AND CREW

Paris, Oct. 17.-Gloom prevails at
the ministry of marine here ON ae-
count OF a disaster to the French sub
marine boat, the Lutin, which left Bi-
serta. Tunis, yesterday for a plunging
experiment, having on board a crew
of fourteen men commanded by Lieu
tenant Phoehon, and which was re-
ported last night TO have disappeared.
The principal hope of floating the Lu-
tin in time to save the lives OF the
imprisoned men rests in the assist
ance OF a Danish salvage steamer
which happened to be near and was
summoned to aid in raising the Lutin-
Inc submarine boat lies In thirty
fathoms OF water, and the submarine
boat, Parfadet, which sank last sum
mer in only ten fathoms was sub
merged nine days, and when she was
refoate0 all the crew were dead. Two
powerful salvage vessels have been
dispatched from Toulon 10 the scene

MAY PROVE AN ERROR IN
BOOKKEEPING, BUT HARDLY

washington, ID. c., Oct. 1.-THE Of
ficials of the treasury department have
been informed by Z. ]. Atkins, as
sistant treasurer of the United states
at St. LOUIS, that there is probably a
shortage in accounts of his Office of
about $61,500 and at his request the
accounts are now being checked by
treasury experts.
At his request, also, Chief Wilkie,
of the United States secret service,
has been sent to st. Louis with a
view of determining who is RESPONSE
BILE for the shortage, If it shall be
actually found to exist.
It is understood that the assistant
treasurer in checking up one of the
cages in his Office, found the cash
short to the amount stated; but on
being confronted with the figures the
clerk in charge insisted that he knew
nothing of 1t. and that there must be
an error in bookkeeping. Atkins, how
ever, was of the opinion there was an
actual shortage and Immediately no
titled the department and asked for
prompt examination of his office.
