UNION NO. 9.-The work being done
by Cole & Sinclair on leases /, ? and 8
on Dexter Union No. 3 has given a black
eye to all predictions that Manhattan
values DO not run deep. On No. 8,
Wednesday forenoon at the 100-foot
level in a drift, the best values yet en-
eountered were found. The ledge is of
hard quartz and is about three feet
wide. The recent strike is a body of
ore that will run well up into the nun
dreds. On the T5-foot level a drift is
being run into lease Nc . and good ship
ping ore all the way. On No. 3 the
same operators are working pm the So
foot level. In all these preliminary
workings TIE men have been constantly
in shipping ore, and when stopping is
commenced the production from these
three leases will be something to open
the eyes of everybody.
MUsTANG-The leasers on Mustang
hill are all active. Work on the famous
No. /. ct the hill top continues in phe-
nomenally high grade ore. Windlasses
are at work on Nos. 5 and 6, both of
which are on the ledge, are working in
good milling ore. with streaks of ship
ping ore. on No. 5. which is owned by
the Manhattan Leasing and Mining
two shifts are working and
the character of the ledge shows great
Improvement at the forty-foot level. On
No. s, owned by Diamondfe Jack
Davis, the shaft is down between TWEEN
ty and thirty feet, and the men have
ten or twelve tons of shipping ore on
the dump.
BRIGGS LEASE.-The Briggs lease
No. II on the Dexter Union No. 9, con-
tinues to give up great quantities of
high grade shipping ore. Wednesday
the superintendent reported a strike in
the north drift of ore worth 81 a pound.
At the fifty foot level drifts nave been
run on the ledge in both directions and
stopping has been commenced on both
sides of the shaft. In all the workings
the ore will average above $3.50 a ton
and every day or two the miners break
into remarkably rich pockets.
ANNIE LAURIE.-A twenty ton ship
ment of ore was made from the Annie
Laurie the first of the week to the Gold
field sampling works. Weekly ship
ments are being made from this mine.
INDIAN CAMF.-Leasers Gardner &
Maynard on indian Camp No. 4 have
struck a six-foot ledge at a depth of ten
feet that yields very satisfactory values.
The ledge parallels the big producers on

oHIo.-In speaking of conditions in
the Ohio, General Manager Ely said
Yesterday: The south crosscut on the
400 level recently encountered a large
ledge of quartz at a point about 100
feet from the shaft. The body of ore.
taken as a whole, is of low grade, but
we have a nice streak of ore on the
footwall which is very rich. We cannot
tell definitely whether the ledge is the
western extension of the West End
ledge until we get through the nortl
and south fault plane which cut the
ledge off close to our end line. In adj
dition to the work in the south eros y
cut, we are raising from the 400 level
at a point about 500 feet from the shaft,
to catch the Mcnamara ledge, which we
believe enters the Ohio Toncl'ah ground
in that vicinity, but nearer the surface.

The Sheriff's office ret eived word this

Henry Book accidentally Shot
and Killed.

Mistaken for bear in the hazy light
of early morning, Henry Beck, sheep
man. was shot and almost instantly
killed last Tuesday at his sheep camp
on Smith creek, about 80 miles from
this place, by his sheep herder. He
was a partner in the sheep business
with John Gakey, also resident of
Boise.
The shooting seems to have been
purely accidental. The story that has
come so Boise from different sources is
that Book was visiting his sheep camp,
which is about four miles from Smiths
prairie, and had stated to his herder,
man by the name of W nipple, that he
was going to leave camp Monday even
ing for Buclianan's ranch, which was
some distance away.
1t is customary for herders to sleep
near their sheep to protect them from
coyotes and other animals, so when
evening came Whipple left MIR. Book in
the camp with the understanding that he
would leave that evening.
Early next morning, before the sun
had clarified the atmosphere, Whipple
returned to the camp for his breakfast.
On approaching he noticed something
moving about beneath the carcass OF a
mutton he had left hanging in tree.
He mistook the object for bear and
shot it with his rifle. His aim WAS
only too accurate and when he fnves.
tigated he found he had killed his EN-
loyer, the bullet piercing his neck.
The news did not reach Boise unit
shortly afternoon, when it was tele
phoned in. The coroner Of Elmor'
county was telephoned and at once lef
for the scene of the accident. Under
taker Schreiber of Boise also left for tn
place last evening to bring the body Il
the city.

been in Idaho for the last 10 years

INVADE FARMS
crIckets Invade Farms of Ere.
mont In Alarming Number.

There is trouble with crickets in Ere
mont county. The insects have often
bothered farmers over there, but this
year thew seem to more voracious than
usual, and the governor has been ap
pealed to to do something to assist the
people in the contest with the invaders.
1t is the intention of the latter TO visit
the county this week on Tuesday and
Wednesday to make a personal investi-
cation OF the situation.
The state has no funds to assist in the
campaign, but the governor has asked
the department Of agriculture to send
men to she scene to give what aid they
can.
Some years ago the government sent
Mr.. Simpson to that section to investi.
gate the pest. He found the crickets
hatch out in the sand beds in the vicin.
ity OF Market Lake, but no means has
been found to eradicate them.
This year the insects have started OF
a march in force from their sand hill,
across the fields OF the Snake valley il
Fremont county and nothing has suf
feed TO stop their course. 1t is said tn,
farmers have built 120 miles OF fences t.
turn the tide, but this has not prove,
sufficient. This fencing WAS not al
done this year, however-Statesma

New Catholic Order Coming
to Idaho.

A special from Cottonwood to the
Lewiston Tribune says:
Plans which involve the expenditure
Of about 81 100000 in handsome college
buildings and the removal OF great
Catholic monastic order to Cottonwood,
became known here today. For over a
year the Benedictine Brothers have
had their ewes on this section and
have quietly purchased 800 acres Of
fine land two miles east Of the city,
where they viii found their religious
colony. Father Berthold has been
working in the interest OF the Bene-
dictines in this section for more than Il
year and he has had the assistance Of
two associates the greater part of the
time.
The city will be the headquarters OF
the Benedictine brothers for the west
crn part Of the United States and was
chosen on account of the healthful
climate, productive soil and natural
surroundings. All the small schools
will be combined and the future Ca
tholic ministry will receive its training
here. The convent will furnish a
home for over 100 sisters, who will aid
in the teachings. The convent will he
one OF the three principal buildings tc
be erected.
The lands of the Benedictines art
beautifully situated and the broad acres
will be made most beautiful. Part o
the land will be farmed, part will b'
devoted to gardening and fruit growing
and a well equipped dairy and stool
farm will furnish Injuries to the monk
and their students. The big farm viii
he worked entirely by members of TIN
colony and it is rumored more Ian,
will be bought later on.
The extreme reserve which has fol
lowed the movements of Father Ber
thold and his assistants has kept tn
story from the public for a long time
but now that it is out there is grea
rejoicing among the residents of thi
section over such good fortune. In tn
eastern states the Benedictine monk
have established several institution
similar to the one to be built here
and all are in the most fourishin
condition.

1t is not often that a mouse kills a
cat. Such a death however, was meted
out last month to q fine black eat In
a Cape May hotel
The cat caught the mouse and began,
as cats will, to play with 1t, to tease
1t. For some ten minutes this went
IN.
And then, all of a sudden, the cat
found herself struggling for her life.
In mounting the mouse, without desir-
Ing to hurt 1t, she had inadvertently
half swallowed 1t. There 1t was, stuck
in her throat, choking her to death.
For three or four minutes the cat
choked and gasped. Then 1t fell
over, dead. And the mouse, oddly
enough, was disgorged at the moment
the cat died. The mouse was alive. II
lay on the floor a moment, resting.
Then it stole away, after one triumph
ant look at the dead body of the cat
which II had killed.

Before the annual congress OF Ger
meeting at Gerlitz, Prof. Blau, a we'll
known authority ON diseases of the
ear, read al interesting paper on the
formation Of the ears of criminals and
lunatics, says the London Telegraph
Prof. Blau has taken accurate meas
urements of 1,061 ears. OF these 255
are the ears of lunatics and 343 those
Of male criminals. The examination,
moreover, was confined to men of one
race and one country.
Inc professor comes to the conclu-
sion that in the vast majority Of cases
the various parts of the auricle, or ex-
ternal ear, are larger in the case Of
criminals and lunaties than In the case
Of normal persons. That is especially
noticeable in the helix, or incurved out
er border Of the ear and also in the
lobe. According to Prof Blau, the
larger the helix Ia, the lower the state
OF mental development The hearing
faculty, on the other hand, Is keener,
and Prof. Blau illustrates his theory
by reference to the auricles Of apes
who are all in possession OF this ex-
tended outer border. Prof. Blau add
ed the curious remark that an abnor-
nal development Of the outer border
was more noticeable among criminals
charged with sexual crimes than any
other classes Of criminals.
