DR.. Fouts left among the other dele
gates to go to the Democratic conven-
tion in Denver Tuesday morning.
Geo. Miller also left Tuesday morning
for Denver to help nominate our future
governor.
While working in Pewabic mine last
Tuesday evening Tom Gendel had big
roch fall on his right foot from some
where above and smashed it very badly.
The rock fell from above and before he
could get out Of the way struck his foot.
1t was lucky the rock did not strike him
on the head. The foot was bandaged up
and Mr.. Gendel is compelled to limp
around.
Word was received here this week that
Ed Jones arrived in New York last Sat-
urday and in all probability will reach
this place some time this week. He has
been visiting for the past month or 30
John Hughes, who recently left here
for Denver to work. has sold his resi-.
dence and furniture to John Hancock,
No. 2. This is nice residence, being
situated on the upper road behind the
postotflce.
Mrs. Rose Hughes is in town this week
visiting with friends and relatives and
attending to the details Of the selling Of
their house.

NJ. X. Sullivan moved that the meet.
ing for the nomination OF the county
ticket be held on the 18th of October.
AS the gentleman expressed it, he want
ed short and sweet campaign. One Of
the delegates objected to the 18th, stat
ing that that had always been regarded
as an unlucky number and he could see
the tickets finish unless the date was
changed.
The convention was devoid OF enthu.
siasm and aside from the activity Of the
leaders no interest whatever was shown.
Very little had been left for the dele
gates to do and shortly after the conven-
ton was called to order it was apparent
to the delegates that their presence was
not particularly needed. Back Of the
railing were seated numerous Republi.
cans who in former years had been &C.
tive participants in the proceedings Of
the conventions, were en- that occasion
mere onlookers, having no desire to mix
with the self constituted leaders Of the
party.

Revenue Officer Tells Why the Euol-

ness Is Flourishing.
An old revenue officer VINO has had
years of active experience in raiding
stills says that illicit Listilling in the
south will never be stopped. The rea-
son is that the profits are so large
they will always invite to a violation
OF the law. l will give, he says, a.
idea Of how cheaply moonshine
whisky is made. and the immense
profits that are reaped from its sale.
They take one gallon of cheap black
molasses, which costs about 80 cents;
two bushels of meal, costing 65 cents
per bushel, and some water. This is
made into a mash, allowed to fer.
ment, and the stuff then goes through
the process of evaporation. This
amount of meal, water and molasses
makes 40 gallons of whisky, which is
sold for 50 a gallon. Anyone can see
the immense profit from this illustra-
ton.

Farm Products of Manchuria.

Millet, Indian corn, and wheat are
among the chief farm products of
Manchuria. Apples and grapes do
well, although the native apple is soft
and lacks flavor. Tomatoes grow in
great abundance, particularly in south
ern Manchuria, where asparagus also
flourishes. All vegetables, as a rule,
can be grown in abundance.

was learned that the Lost Pack
er matte furnace was ready to
fire up for trial run, delega-
ton of Custer and Bonanza folks,
including a number of the Custer
ladies', established themselves in
swift going rigs for the journey.
Your correspondent had seat
by invitation with the Boise &
Boston Co.'S. dredgers, who were
out in force for few days out
ing and to see the new land of
which they had heard so much
but had not seen.
The people of Custer county
are quite familiar with the Loon
country and know how to get
there, but outsiders may wish
some light on il as seen by day
light, and | will go into details
somewhat as to route, etc.
The distance from Custer to
Ivers, where the Lost Packer
mating plant is established and
where there is now a good sized
town, is 20 miles, or about the
same distance as from Bonanza
down to Clayton. From mouth
of Jordan creek, on the Yankee
Fork, about half way between
Bonanza and Custer, the distance
is "a miles, and this over as fine
mountain road as can be found
anywhere in the State-a hard,
wide road with numerous turn
outs" or switches for teams that
might happen to meet. The dis
lance can be covered in six hours
if you have a spirited team and
push little on the riobons;some
make it in less time than that.
From the mouth of Jordan,
where the Loon creek road be-
gins, through to Ivers, is a most
interesting country to travel
over-every mile bringing some
thing new in view and unlike
that usually found in mountain
countries. The road was main
ly constructed by the Lost Pack
er company, but is kept in repair
by Custer county.
This was the main pack.trail
route of the early pioneers and
prospectors from the Salmon
river to Loon creek, Middle Fork,
South Fork, Yellow Pine Basin,
Warrens, and what is now known
rs the great Thunder Mountain
region. One mineral belt after
another running parallel and of
unknown length, crosscuts the
country easterly and westerly

ties of the ancient Mephistophel-
rs brothers, or Seven Devils, and

placer and quartz claims-for-
merly the Morrison & Pearson's
property, later the Stems
with 5stamp quartz mill, at
present not in operation. Here
in the creek and on the bars in
early placer days is where so
many big gold nuggets we're
found from one ounce up to~eas
high as 80 ounces in weight-and
number that weighed a pound
and over, and how many were
'swiped" by the Chinese and
others that worked in the mines
will never be known. At one
place below the mill, behind a
high rim-rock, $4,000 was taken
out of small space of ground.
The creek is undoubtedly rich
there, very little of which was
ever opened, but it can only be
worked by dredge.
AT this portion of the creek

ing of half dozen veins, cross
es Jordan to the west side where
the hills are low and where the
quartz was worked to water, and
no deeper The new manage
ment contemplates opening the
old ore shoots, some of which
were immensely rich, and pos
sibly dredge the creek.
Here, on the east or right hand
side of the creek going up, is the
pilot" group of mines, patent
ed, and owned by nonresident.
This property, as surveyed, is
LAP feet in length, taking in
over 100 feet of the creek bot
tom, and joining onto the west
end of the Charles Dickens, "
"Capulet, Juliet" and "Letha
Corona" veins, and 1000 feet
wide on the creek. There are
several veins of ore on it, two of
which are the famous Dickens"
north and south veins. A tun-
mel from Jordan creek would
open all the Dickens Hill lodges
at a depth of 800 to 1,100 feet
and be on ore all the way, as
! openings by tunnels at the creek
line and open cuts tracing out
the veins on the surface to the

monstrates. NoTE.-I have

and among them the "Bismark, "
Sunbeam" and the none famous
Daisy" mine from which much
gold bullion is being taken. 1t
is decidedly the best paying gold
quartz property in Custer county
or any other county in this por-
tion of the State.
The mill and mines and all the
buildings connected Herewith,
are on west side of Jordan, few
rods from the main road, and
one has a good view of the min
es, tunnels, mill, buildings, ETC.,
on that side of the creek from
the wagon road. Bismark Hill
or mountain looms up twelve
hundred or more feet from where
the mill stands and furnishes a
very picturesque background to
the various buildings and little
home dwellings nestled at it's
base. Later on, may give a
complete account of the mines,
mill results, ETC., as it is place
of move than ordinary impor-
lance to this end of Custer
county.
Directly opposite the Sunbeam
and on the road, and situated in
beautiful grove of pines fam
Gus in early days as a packers
camping place, is the Lake
Hotel, a noted hostelry, or way
side inn, where all modern con-
veniences and accommodations
for man or beast are to be had.
This is real Travellers Rest,
mountain oasis, and tourists and
travellers are in abundance there
at this season of the year.
On same side of Jordan creek
and adjoining Sunbeam proper
ties, are the claims, six or seven
in number, of the North Sun
beam" Mining Co., extending up
about a mile to mouth of Grouse
creek. This property has but
recently been Incorporated, and
is very favorably situated and in
same mineral belt as "Bismark"
and Daisy" The stock is al
ready assuming a gilt edge tint
and is in demand at good figures.
On east side of Jordan, direct
ly opposite Bismark Mountain,
is Mt. Estes, whose extravagent-
ly rich gold and silver veins gave
the mountain such notriety as a
great mineral belt. These diff
ferent mineral belts and mining
localities are merely mentioned
on the journey to Loon creek to
show the continuity of the min
eral field between the Custer and
Loon countries.
Less than two miles above the
Lake Hotel is the pine Grove, "
another hospitable wayside inn.
1t, like the Lake." is in a grove
of pines, and has all the usual
hotel comforts, and running
mountain brook at the door, and
watering trough for thirty ami
mails.
From this point we soon begin
to ascend the Jordan and Loon
divide on an easy grade, and ten
or eleven miles from mouth OF
Jordan.
The elevation at the summit is
even 5000 feet. Here the hills
are broken down, and furnish a
natural pass, but on each side
the crags and peaks loom up un-
til they are almost lost in the
skies. Looking back from the
summit to the east and to the
west, and over to the mountains
of Lightning creek and West
Fork of Yankee Fork, the view
is too grand and picturesque fol-
