ELECTRIC LIGHT MAN
SKIPS UNDER A CLOUD
Fred Moore Discharged and Carries With
Him to Portland Things not
His Own.

F. j. Moore, until about a week
ago superintendent of the Mountain
Home Electric company, left town
last Thursday night under circum-
stances apparently entirely discred-
liable to himself.
A day or two previous he had
been discharged from the service of
the company, for neglect of duty
and disobedience CT orders.
He notified no one that he was
going away. Since his departure
Treasurer Norell, of the Electric
company, has discovered that he
had collected money for which he
made no accounting. The exact
sum is not yet known, as he hand
led numerous small bills. Mr.. Nor
ell thinks it will not exceed 500.
He also took with him three clar-
ionets which he had bought on the
installment plan and for which
members of the band had gone Sc
curity. The amount still due on the
instruments is SIS.
Moore bought ticket for and
checked his trunk to Portland. An
effort is being made to locate him,
with the intention of either secur-
ing settlement ar prosecuting him
on criminal charge.
All sorts of stories are being cir
culated here regarding his past rec
ord, some of which are doubtless
exaggerations of the facts; though
there is probably foundation for the
allegation that he has been given to
dead beating bills.

mense amount of freight over the
mountain this year from Mountain
Home, and has made a good record,
but it is not probable teams enough
could be put on to get the reduction
plant in before winter closes in.
The transportation of the tram
way outfit was a great undertaking.
There was eight miles of cable,
with all the terminal equipment to
be hauled over the long mountain
Gus road. This is to be followed
by the electrical machinery. That
machinery is to arrive at Mountain
Home this week, and will be loaded
out for the mine without delay.
The site for the power plant has
been prepared, everything being in
readiness for the machinery. II
will take but a short time to put
the machinery up when it shall
have reached the camp.
On the tramway the work is
nearing completion, about two
thirds Of the cable being in posi-
tion already.
Mr.. Kirby states the camp is look
ing well. The Minerva mine has
turned out to be great property.
A cyanide plant is to be installed
on it this fall. Statesman.

REDUCTION PLANT
FOR THE MONARCH
Superintendent Kirby Orders I5O-Ton
Plant to be Shipped Here
in Thirty Days.

Daniel Kirby, manager of the
Monarch mine, at Atlanta, is in
the city. He has just returned
from Sslt Lake, where, on Mon
day, he signed a contract for a 15O-
ton reduction plant for the property.
This plant is to be complete in
every particular. No portion of the
old machinery will be used, every
thing being new and of the most
modern character. Rolls and re-
grinding machinery will be employ
ed in preparing the ore for the ex-
traction of the values, while the
process of extraction will be a COM
bination of amalgamation, concen-
tration and cyanidiug.
The machinery for the mill will
begin to arrive in about thirty days
and will be taken forward to the
camp as rapidly as possible. 1t is
not expected it can all be transport
ed this fall and installation will
have to be deferred until next year.
The great problem to be solved
in equipping q mine on a large
scale at a point remote from a rail-
way, Mr.. Kirby says, is in connec-
tion with the transportation of the
machinery. He has hauled an inn

UTAH AMERICAN PARTY
CONTRIBUTES $4,000

The Salt Lake Republican, Sena-
tor Smoot's personal organ, pro-
Mormon to beat the band, says
At meeting held at the Knutstord
hotel shortly before the Idaho DEM
ocratic convention at Coeur d.
Alene, Willard F. Snyder, chairman
of the American party state COM
mittee, assured Senator Fred T.
Dubois that he would put SIS, 900
into the Idaho democratic campaign
fund. The offer was made in the
presence of Senator Dubois, his sec
retary, Mr.. Arney, and several Salt
Lake American party men.
During his rotten campaign in
Idaho Dubois will draw on the Salt
Lake American chairman for that
amount. Willard F. Snyder is
chairman of the American party
committee in Utah. He is the re-
puted owner of the Ogden Journal,
republican paper, and he is the
contributor to the democratic slush
fund in Idaho. He is working for
the American party's success in
Utah, posing as the dictator of re-
publican doctrine in Ogden, alone,
and is the avowed angel of the Ida
/ no democrats.
When Senator Dubois outlined
the democratic fight, he told Chair
man Snyder that an Mormon
plank would be included in the Ida
no platform and he promised that
the alleged Mormon delegations
would be thrown out of the conven-
ton. On the strength of these
promises Snyder pledged his sup
port, and the support of his party tc
the extent of $4,000.
The Dubois faction of Idaho Dem
ocrats is nothing more or less than
a sideshow to the so-called Ameri-
can outfit of Utah. The aid hand
ed the Idaho democrats by the Utah
Americans shows the American
party in another light. 1t is doing
a little missionary work of its
own. The party may have found
that the money 'bled" from the
Salt Lake city employees was more
than is needed here. The monthly
campaign assessments taken from
employees on pain of dismissal, has
formed an immense fund which
will increase measurably before the
election is held.
Chairman Snyder's offer places
him before the public in a three.
faced light. He is an American
renegade, republican hypocrite
and a democratic philanthropist
His sympathies are with no party
that will not best serve his owr
1 personal interests. His money
and the money he commands follows
his sympathy.
He is playing game that is toe

Idaho Shipping Lime Phosphate.

Shipments from the deposits Of
lime phosphate rock, along Mont
pelier creek, were commenced last
Tuesday afternoon, when four teams
arrived at the loading bridge-plat-
form on the railroad spur. The ma
terial is consigned to the San Fran
cisco Chemical Co. at Martinez,
California, to be used in the manu-
facture of fertilizers. At present
the rock is coming from surface
stripping, being conveyed to the
platform at the mine and loaded
into the wagons by means Of a tenn
porary gravity tramway The ma
chinery for the permanent tramway
installment will shortly arrive from
the east. Shipments can then be
increased should the necessity arise.
Some four carloads have gone out
since operations were commenced
this week The material has q high
specific gravity, as compared with
bituminous coal. The utilization
of this phosphate rock in the man
ufacture Of fertilizer is a new in
dustry as regards the western safes,
and consequently the enterprise is
still somewhat OF an experiment,
but it is to he hoped it will devel-
op into a permanent industry, one
that will bring large financial re-
turns to the company and immense
benefits to Montpelier Montpelier
Examiner.

AGREES WITH ScHiFF.
sormer Secretary Gage Believes Panic
Inevitable.


New York, JAM 6.-Lyman J. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
during the day that he agrees with
Jacob II. Schiff in the opinion that a
great panic is inevitable unless steps
are taken to remedy the inelasticity of
the existing currency system. "I agree
positively with Mr.. Schiff," said Mr..
Gage, that the monetary conditions
which have existed in this country
during the last sixty days are disgrace
1ul to us as a nation and I further
agree with him that stunning panic
is but a matter Of time unless some
thing is done. The more promptly
and etfectually this is done the better
for the United States.
From M. Schift's attitude | infer
that he thinks this panic may be pre,
clpitated very shortly | do not exact.

opinion there is no immediate danger
'but the danger itself is apparent ana

Bluefeld, w. Va, Jan. 6.-Twenty
three bodies, five whites and eighteen
negroes, have been removed from the
Coaldale mine, where terrific explo-
sion of mine gas caused heavy loss of
life and property. 1t was at first
supposed there were but tWenty-one
men in the mine at the time of the
explosion, but as the regular working
force is seventy-fve men it was i'm
possible to tell the exact number in
the mine until resculng party com.
pleted it's search.
The rescue work was carried on
nearly all night, the rescuers being
able to enter the mines at a. M
An hour later they succeeded in locat.
ing and rescuing the bodies of eleven
of the victims
Mine Boss Williams, who at the
time OF the explosion was nearly a
mile away, suffered from the concus.
sion and was almost overcome by the
dust and gases before he could reach
a place of safety. The greater mum.
Der of the victims were working some
little distance from the point where
the explosion occurred and were founG
to have been suffocated.
The explosion was Of terrible force
and caused great excitement in the
surrounding country, many believing
an earthquake had occurred.
The damage to the mine is very
heavy.

CALLY RESTORED.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 6.-The govern
has been quite decisive, although open
revolt continues in many places in
the interior. Artillery is employed
mercilessly and the movement is grad
ually being stif1ed. These. fires of re-
volt, however, are smothered but are
not extinguished and the main fear is
that the government, encouraged by
success, will fall into the very error of
which the revolutionists were guilty
and attempt to press it's advantage too
far. Already there are signs that the
a point which is sure to again arouse
the resentment and discomfort of the
classes which shrank from the violent
programme Of the reds" In st. Pc
tersburg, for instance, the wholesale
perquisitions of the police have been
succeeded by a particularly offensive
measure of the project OF police which
practically gives the house porters a
free hand to search private lodgings
for arms and suspicious persons for,
documents, offering them a premium
Of SO cents for the discovery of every
revolver or bomb and 25 cents for a
knife. Such a measure naturally will
arouse the cupidity of the house por-
ters and restore the intolerable sys-
TEN of personal espionage which was
in vogue at the time Of the late In
terror Minister Won Plehve.
Two wings of the Social Democratic
party have now joined the workmen's
organization in declaring that they
will boycott the elections to the ma
tional assembly,. The Social Demo.
Gratis have adopted a series of reso-
rlutions instructing remembers of so
cialist organizations not to participate
in the police elections but to take
every advantage Of such freedom Of
meeting as may be allowed them to
discuss the elections and preach the
extension of the doctrine OF armed
revolt for the purpose of completely
overthrowing the present government"

coNFEssEs TO MURDER.
Nineteen-Year-old Chicago Boy Kills
COMPANION,

Chicago, Jan civilian ]. Moran
aged nineteen years, has confessed to
the killing OF Robert Collier. aged sew.
enteen years, during a quarrel, after
which Moran says he placed Golfers
body on the track in the hope that a
passing train would hide evidences of
the crime
The accidental discovery of the body
before a train had passed disclosed
the fact that Collier had been killed
by pistol bullet. An investigation
showed that the body had first been
taken from Moran's barn, where the
murder occurred, to a vacant barn
nearby.
The idea of misleading the authori
ties then occurring to Moran he car
rled the corpse of his erstwhile friend
to the Nickel Plate railway track.
Fifteen companions Of Golfers were
rounded up by the police. Among them
was Moran, whose clothing was blood
stained and who confessed.

BURNS AN ALLEGED THIEF.

BOISE, Sept. 11.-V. L. Burns arriv-
ed from San Francisco at o'clock this
morning in the custody of Special Of
ficer Jones, a detective in the employ
of the Oregon Short Line Railway COM
pany. Burns was an employee of the
ticket office at the depot here until
July, when he disappeared from the
city without the formality of rendering
his resignation.
After his departure the auditing de-
partment detected a discrepancy in
the affairs of the local ticket office,
the report of cash from sales of tick
cts not checking out with the cancel
led tickets turned into the auditors
office.
An investigation revealed that tick
cts to the value of about $3.50 had
been distracted in a random manner
from the office and sold.
At the instance of the auditing de-
partment a warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of Burns about the last
of July, charging him with the theft
of the tickets, but it was not until a
few days ago that he was appre-
hended. The affair was kept quiet and
no inkling of anything wrong leaked
out until his capture was effected.
