VIEWED FROM BOISE.
Assayer Pinkham Gives Impressions of
North Idaho Affairs.

Boise Statesman: Joseph Pink
ham, assayer in charge of the
United States assay Office in this
city, has returned from his an
nual trip through the mining re-
gions of northern Idaho where he
went to collect statistics for the
treasury department. Mr.. Pink
ham enjoyed the trip very much
and brings back some very inter
esting news.
He says that mining operations
throughout Idaho are yearly in
creasing. Many new claims are
being developed. In Shoshone
county alone, he says, the output
for last year was SO, 900, 900, 900
greater than for the previous
year. The greatest increase, he
says, is noticeable in the regions
about Pierce City and Elk City,
and especially in the latter region
where hydraulic plants which
had been idle for several years
have lately resumed operations
very pro6tably.

THE GUN MEN
ARE ON TRIAL
Hearing Of Sweeney and
Prader Is Now on in
Crangeville.

The preliminary hearing of Mike
Sweeney and Andrew Prader who shot
Joe Mitchell, June 2e, on Crooked river,
is being held before a justice of the
peace in Grangeville this week. We'd
nesday was the day set for the hearing,
but report from Grangeville, Thurs
day indicated the hearing will cover sew
eral days and will probably not be
finished this week.
Both the state and the defense have
a great deal of testimony to offer, and,
judging from the number of witnesses
summoned, it is evident the preliminary
trial is going to be an exhaustive affair;
even the character of the, men who
figured III the shooting will be brought
out if all of the witnesses who went to
Grangeville are placed on the stand.
The states witnesses who started for
Grangevllle, Sunday, We're: John
Yearsley, Geo. Trout, Ed Comley, Isaac
Maxwell and the boy who was with Joe
Mitchell, John Yearsley and Geo. Trout
at the time of the shooting. In addi-
tion to these, message Thursday noon
called DR.. J. D. Shinnick and j. c..
Litchfeld, and that evening a deputy
sheriff arrived to subpoena others.
1t is not known in Elk City how many
witnesses the defense has summoned.
Andrew Prader, one of the defendants,
arrived in town the latter part of last
week, and went from here to Orogrande.
j. L. c. McCaffrey and DIR. B. S. Cul-
len were among those who went out to
testify for the defense.

An exchange tells Of a lady
who decided to scare her husband
who was a hard drinker, so he
would reform. To do this she
procured the costume of devil
she had worn at a masquerade.
The next time the erring spouse
came home feeling happy she
quickly donned the costume. AS
she opened the door she stepped
forward and said in sulphurous
tones: Come in with me. / am
the devil" The result rather
startled her as the response which
greeted her was: ''Zatso? Shake
Of boy; Pm your brother-in-law.

SUCCESS IN MINING.
Butte Mining Review Gives Few Points
on How To Make 1t Win.

outtc NiiilIiS rcVicW OiVco FCW rOuhto
on How To Make 1t Win.
Singleness of purpose and origi-
nality mark the success of the
mining man. Not alone are these
essential, but he must work and
overcome obstacles as they pre-
sent themselves from time to
time. Many man has lost cour-
age and quit work over the adj
verse comment some one, ignor-
ant as to mining perhaps, has set
forth. about the possibilities or
values of his possessions. Never
Give up" is the motto man
operating a mine must ever have
before him, provided he has a
good proposition to start with.
The man who does things, who
brings about results, who feels
within himself the power Of
achievement, and is determined
to make himself known in the
world, never waits to see what
the crowd is going to do. He
does not ask for advice Of every
body he knows, or wait for prece-
dents. ], He lays out his own plans,
thinks his own thoughts, directs
his own energies, plays the game
with the cards he has, and does
not ask for an impossible pack.
He does not complain because OBJ
stacles appear in his path; and
when he comes to them, he goes
through them, not over them or
around them. He never whines
or grumbles; he simply keeps to
his task and works in a vigorous,
manly way. He goes about
everything he undertakes with a
determination that insures vict-
ory. 1t takes courage and origi-
nality to step out from the crowd
and act independently to jump
into deep water, as it were, and
swim or sink.
The man who acts boldly wins
the confidence of the world.
The days are now gone by when
the possession of a gold mine
could be taken as an excuse for
any amount of extravaganza, and
the idea was allowed to prevail
that the extraction of precious
metal from the ore was necessar.
lily a fortune-making industry
says the Butte Mining Review
Mining now takes its place among
any other manufacturing busi
ness propositions, and differs il
nothing except the article pro
duced from the rest of them. Ex
ceptional cases OCCUR in the new
placer diggings, where one man.
labor can accumulate store O.
gold that can be amassed in n,
other business and by no. othe.
means, but these rare instance
, do not affect the main fact.

HOW TOHANDLE MEN
An Important Subject to Foremen
on Big Works.
DISCUSSED BY A WRITER
Diplomacy Most Valuable Asset Fore
man Can Possess.

Mining Scientific Press: The
subject Of the proper manner of
managing miners has been dis
cussed recently in this journal by
two contributors, both of whom
are well-qualifed to express
opinions. AS between the tyran-
nical foreman who drives his men
by sheer power of nerve force,
occasionally supplemented by an
exhibition of muscular superior
ity, and the easy-going boss who
tries TO make things pleasant all
round, there is an obvious need
of a compromise. Mr.. Edward
w. Ralph has emphasized the
fact that the right man repre-
sents the. mean between a "bull-
dozer' and the good fellow" 1t
is a problem of practical momeht;
many mine has suffered through
stupidity in this regard, for men
are more than machines, and TO
get the best service out of them
they must be treated neither as
coolies nor as mandarins. To our
mind the best kind of Cornish
foreman represents a desirable
type; he is a miner HIMSELF a
miner from the ground up, he
can do the things he expects
others to do. he is physically able
to. take care of himself in a
scuffle, he is good natured and
possesses that saving salt, a sense
of humor. Many an awkward
fellow can be won by a bit of fun
at the proper season, especially
when backed by other more solid
qualities, and good nature will
enable man to shed vitupera-
tion which otherwise might lead
to a fight.
Old Capt. Martin Goldsworthy,
in the Michigan copper country,
was of this kind. One day when
a big Swede had called him all
the names not in the dictionary
and had finally retired, someone
asked the captain, who was big
powerful man, why he had not
knocked him down; he replied,
with a smile and a shrug: "Oh,
that's one of the honors of my
} position. " In other words, there
) was no call for him as boss tc
step down and engage in bout
with one of his men, unless act
ually struck first. 1t is amusing,
and instructive, too, to see how
a Cornishman will handle a poly
glot crowd Of men whose langu
ages he does not understand an(
yet be able to instruct them as tt
their duties. But our friend from
the "old country has one fault

especially if they are his country

LAPP g. co.
WILL BUILD

o. c. Lapp, of the firm of Lapp & Co.,
of Harpster, arrived in Elk City, We'd
nesday, to look after business affairs in
the firms store here fora few days.
1t is Mr.. Lapp's intention to divide his
time equally between the store in Harp
ster and the store here. He will be in
Elk City from about the 10th to the
25th of each month, and the rest of his
time he will spend in the Harpster
store.
Mr.. Lapp announces his firm has under
way some very decided improvements
for the Elk City store, chief of which is
new building. The vacant lot be-
tween the A. N. Ingram residence and
saloon has been purchased for the, new
building site. The building will be
3Ox60 feet, one story. The front and
rear will be covered with corrugated
iron, giving it handsome appearance
from the street. The interior will be
fitted and furnished for convenience ac-
cording to the tastes and requirements
of the hustling firm. With the opening
of the new store feature in handling
goods will be inaugurated in Elk City,
that of display of goods. The new
store will have two large display win
dows.
Mr. Lapp expects to move into the
new store about the first of October.
He will place an order for the lumber
as soon as he gets back to Harpstel
and then the contract with the builders
f.r,
will be made.

Dave Patterson, employed. at
the Crooked creek placer mine at
Dixie, was in Elk City on bqsi--
ness a few days the first of the
week.
VIM. Schlotterbeck received a
letter from S. w. Smith, at Lew
iston, the latter part of last week,
in which he stated he intended
to leave next day for Oakland,
California. Mr.. Smith is nego-
tiating with California parties for
the sale of mining property he
owns in this district, and there is
a sentiment general in the camp
that there is a business deal pend
ing, which if made, will mean
much to Elk City camp.
The Gold Point Mining company
Of this camp the first of the week
received from Gov. F. R. Gooding
a bronze medal, which was the
prize offered at the Portland fair
for the best specimens of gold ore
from Idaho county. The medal
is a beautiful memento, some
thing that will be priced by its
possessors for the significance it
bears to their valuable mining
property. In bis letter notifying
the company of the awarding of
the prize, Gov. .Gooding explains
that the delay has been caused by
the manufacturing jeweler.
A clustering, self-important
man walked into a barber shop,
says an exchange, and wanted
his hair cut. He didn't want any
talk. Just a plain hair cut, and
!. he wanted it hight away. The
modest and uRpretentious ole
gentlemen in the shop attempted
to explairs but was roughly tolc
togo ahead without one word
After the job was finished the
man who knew everything looked
into the glass and was horrifieC
at his appearance. He fairly
stormed around, and, Indignantly
asked the old gentleman if h
called that a hair cut. The ole
man replied: Il don't know
he'll be in presently. | am thu

was waiting for a hair cut myself
but you wouldn't give me

OF the United States supreme court
the city OF Chicago obtains almost
