ANOTHER DEAD ISSUE.

THE attempt 10 raise states rights issue
will prove to be failure. Some of the old
line Democratic papers arc trying to reyamp this
ghost of the past, but they will learn that the
people cannot be interested in discussion OF
states rights.
The big corporations that have been enabled
to handle the legislatures of the different States
will stand firmly for states rights. They know
that it is easier to control the affairs of State
than it is to dominate the national government.
The states rights idea will not even affect a
considerable number of Democrats. Colonel
William j. Byran, the Democratic leader having
announced himself in favor Of the government
ownership of railroad companies, the advocates
of states rights cannot eXpectginueh-help from
him. The Democrats, it is often said, have been
hunting for issue but they have not found
il in states rights.

and other minerals from black
sand which is very soon to be put
to practical test on a gigantic
scale by the two men, has held
almost the exclusive attention of
DR.. Eckstein during his entire
career. His studies in the German
universities and finally as professor
at the University of Chicago, from
which institution he is now on
leave of absence, have all tended
directly to the final perfection of
his system. His quest has taken
him into the mining regions of
Africa, Siberia and Alaska, be-
sides through the mountains of
this country. While his writings
on pure chemistry have gained him
wide repute, his mining operations
have been his greatest fascination.
DR.. Fralick is a man of scientific
attachments and one of New York s
most skillful abdominal surg icons.
Largely as a recreation he has be-
come interested in mining studies,
especially in the problem of black
sand. Some years ago he fell in
with DR.. Eckstein, and during
the past three years at intervals
he has worked at the laboratories
of the University of Chicago with
the famous German, solving scien-
tific problems.
Ninety-five per cent of the gold
values can be extracted by the Eek
stein-Fralick method, declare the
scientists, and that in far more
economical fashion than that en-
ployed by other methods. The mine
will be worked by capital in possess
sion of the two men exclusively.
There will be no selling of stock.
When asked at what figure
they would quote the valuation Of
their holdings, they would make
no statement, except to reiterate
their conviction that no richer mine
existed in either Idaho or Oregon.

SCIENTISTS
ARE EXCITED
File on Snake River Black
Sand Claim and Pro-
feSS TO see Mill
ions in it.

Two placer claims, maintained
by expert judgment to be the scene
of the richest gold and black sand
deposits in the state of Oregon or
elsewhere, have just been staked
out on the west side of Snake
river a few miles above Hunting
ton, by DIR. Oscar Eckstein and
Professor Wilfred G. Fralick, the
two noted eastern scientists who
have been working in the vicin-
ity of Boise for the last month.
Friday the locations of the two
claims were recorded. A plant is
to be erected soon on scale suf-
ficiently large to permit OF the
treatment of all the black sand from
the neighboring states by the Eek
stein-Fralick method.
The preliminary survey which
was made Thursday marks region
of 800 acres, or two calims of max
imum size almost four miles in ex-
tent. The two claims are adjoin-
ing, touching two counties, and
cover a swath about four miles
along the Snake river, extending
from the water to a point one-eighth
of a mile back. They are situated
in the neighborhood of Farewell
Bend and Odds Ferry on the west
side of the river and several miles
east of Huntington.
The two scientists, who have
been working in and around Boise
for the past month, had stumbled
upon the spot accidentally while
investigating other property in the
vicinity, seeing Immediately that
the particular quality of black
sand and gravel, while defying
the usual methods used for ex-
tracing gold and other precious
minerals, were splendidly adapted
to the -Fralick method,
recently perfected. Great secrecy
was observed in their movements
and they carefully avoided the re-
gion, fearing lest the presence of
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1906-09-13

eastern experts would arouse the
natives from their coma and. lead
to their stalking out a claim before
the two could perfect plans for Sc
curing title to the fabulousy rich
region.
DR.. Fralick, the famous New
York City surgeon, accordingly
left Boise early last week, visited
the land offices governing the re-
gion involved and assured himself
that he was not claim jumping,
before commencing operations.
Last Wednesday night, with spade
and pick and corner stakes, DR..
Eckstein boarded the midnight train
and arrived at the scene of action
the following morning. The corner
stakes were quickly driven, and,
while it was almost a case of heart
failure with the squatters along
the river who for years and years
have been scratching together a
meagre living, all unconscious that
a fortune in glittering metal was
clasped jealousy in the gravel at
their very feet, the men picked
their way swiftly along and by
late in the afternoon the proper
specifications were tackled upon a
number of stakes. The men went
well armed, fearing that the squat
ters and residents across the river
would make trouble, but the latter,
while furious and taken quite off
their feet by the sudden move of
the strangers, made no further dem
onstration than to level field glass
es at the men as they worked and
to eye them angrily until they were
out of sight.
A reporter for The Statesman,
who was on the ground at the
time the claims were staked, vas
shown paintings of sand and grav-
ell, which, the two locaters de-
clare, are the richest in free gold
and carry the highest percentage
of black sand they have ever seen
in any locality. Bed rock was
struck about 10 feet above the pres
ent water line, and this the two
experts declare to be the old river
bottom and to consist of virgin soil
never operated upon for gold. 1t is
a we'll known fact that the Snake
river has always carried much gold
in its current. Said Professor Eek
stein yesterday.
"All the gold which comes down
the Snake does not have its origin
at or near its headwaters, as many
have maintained. l feel satisfied
that most of it comes from cross
sections of rich Lodges which the
river crosses at various intervals on
its course.
The method of extraction of gold

can be planted to the greatest ad-
vantage by settlers.
The service has selected a site
for large nursery in the newly
created Bear river reserve and is
looking for another in this portion
of the state. In these nurseries
trees will be propagated, to be set
out where needed. Within year
the two nurseries will be started.
1t is also intended to start a small
nursery wherever permanent
headquarters for rangers shall be
established in a reserve.
The seedlings will be planted,
first, on denuded watersheds: sec
ond, on old burns; third, on land
that has been cut over and natural
reproduction is deficient.
In these ways it is proposed to
do something for the reserve states
in addition to the great work of
protecting existing forests and con-
serving the water supply.
Mr.. Sterling was asked yesterday
whether the service could, in his
opinion, start forest growth on
the hills about Boise. He gave
it as his opinion that there would
be no difficulty in doing so. Where
citizens should take the initiative
the service would cooperate with
them in such matters. At Helena,
for instance, a tract of 900 acres
was being planted with forest trees.
The land had been secured by the
citizens and the forest service was
assisting them. That land, Mr..
Sterling added, was Just such hills
as those back of Boise. Statesman.

OREGON APPLES TAKE
FANCY OF lNGLISHMEN
Medford Orchardist Says Coast
Apples are Fast SuppIanting
Other Localities.

Oregon apples have caught with the
BritIsher of taste and fashion. He
has forsaken the New York produc-
tion which he has been fed for years
and now demands the neatly wrapped
apple that comes to London from the
orchards of Oregon. The develop
ment Of this taste is the result Of
years Of work On the part Of local
shippers and growers, who have
constantly sung the virtues Of the
western fruit in the foreign markets.
The Britisher realizes now that the
Oregon apple is the best that the
world affords and he Is clamoring at
the market places for more OF them
than have been shipped in the past.
And he is willing to pay the highest
prices for the goods. "The British
trade would rather have bushel box
Of Oregon apples than barrel Of New
York's best" says Captain Gordon
Voorhies, a large grower and shipper
of apples from his Medford orchards,
who has returned from an extended
European tour enthusiastic over the
future of Oregon apples in the foreign
markets. He visited Oil the continent
and kept in close touch with the mar
keith England, the principal ship
ping point for local apples.
"The English are waking up to the
fact that our apples are better than
those of any other state or country, y
he said. 1t was hard lesson for
the Britisher to learn. for he has had
his taste educated on the barreled ap-
pies that are shipped in great quan-
titles from the New York orchards.
Our careful selecting and neatness in
boxing caught his eye at last. and
after few years Of sampling he has
been won over to our cause. Now
the best trade of England demands
Oregon apples. The sumptuous ap-
pearance of our boxes when they are
opened in the markets did much to
place them ahead Of all rivals.
II look for the trade to increase
each year and for the prices to be
strong"
Continental Europe did not 80 ap-
peal to Captain VOORHEES, as market
for Oregon apples. The Germans are
nettled at the ingress of American
food products and they are quick to
find fault and discard any shipments
they can. The tariff on apples also
adds handicap to their successful
marketing. The wealthy class OF
