A SUCCESSFUL TEST.
Black Pearls New Mill Saves
the Values.

Two tests were made of the black
Pearls new cyanide mill last week
and it is claimed the result was
greater than anticipated
The first test was made with 0
tons of ore, which was first crushed
and then placed in cyanide solu-
tion, where it was eight hours. The
result was 81 per centof the gold was
saved and rs per cent of the silver.
The second test resulted in 80 per
cent of gold being saved. The are
averaged $12 per ton.
The mill has capacity of 80 tons
per day. There is a vast body of
ore in sight and the company is de-
lighted over the success which has
attended their efforts and
they fully expect to soon have a
dividend paying property.
The Easter mill is ready to make
a run and will start up as soon as
power is available.
The Whitman company is also in
stalling cyanide mill.

REAGAN CORNER SOLD.
St. Anthony Man Buys Choice
Main Street Property.

w. c. Bowers of St. Anthony,
Idaho, on Tuesday bought the Rea-
gan corner on Main street for $5,-
750, or $52. 25 per front foot. The
property consists of 110 feet front
ing on Main street and a frame
building. 1t is splendidly located
for business purposes and will be
improved.
The large frame house upon the
lots was bui 1t about 10 years ago
by a New York gentleman named
Cole, who built it for a hotel. He
was the original Canyon canal pro-
jectol and went broke on the propo-
sition. He sold it to Daniel Rea-
gan, Sr., who occupied it as resi-
dence.
Mr.. Bowers also bought the Joe
Degen residence property of two
acres and two acres adjoining of
Mrs. Durham. For the Degen pro-
perty he paid $4,000. He will
move his family here as soon as
possible and make this his perman-
ent home. For many years he has
been prominently identified with
business interests of St. Anthony
and will be valuable addition to
Emmett.

A. Warden contributed % varieties

Mrs. Oaks also made a fine show
ing in the the same line. Mr. Dew
ey was tireless in answering ques-
tions, and gave the Emmett country
some advertising that will count, for
he had the products to back his
statements.
A feature of the Emmett exhibit
that probably attracted most atten-
tion from farmers was the big corn
which yielded 100 bushels to the
acre. In explaining how to grow
corn Mr.. Dewey said most farmers
use too much water, they destroy the
fertility of their soil He said cul-
tivation is what is needed and less
water. He plowed his corn four
times, keeping the soil well pulver-
lied and level. When he could not
get through the rows again he hill

lsed but very little water, he said,

make corn throw out sprouts or

spent the entire day along the big
ditch. They inspected the
fiume $, tunnels, ditch and dam.
To the Index the governor said
he found the canal in much better
conditions than he expected. "but, "
he added, "there are places where
it is very defective. The fumes: for
instance, are faulty in many res
poets, and there is more of them
than there is any need of. A large
portion of them could and should Be
torn down and replaced with ditch
work"
The governor stated he believed
when the company shall have car
ried out their plans for remodeling
the canal, good ditch will be the
result. "The land board will ac-
cept no other kind, said he. ''and
a first class ditch must be built be-
fore the board will pass upon it. A
reliable engineer will be appointed
by the state to personally look after
the work here, and he will be in
structed to see that first class ditch
is built"
The rebuilding of the washed-out
dam has begun at last. Two car
loads of derricKs hoists and engines
arrived last week and have been set
up, and are doing business. A

PINEHURST

1.-The Brownlee Cyclone" has
passed through this region and left
about 5000 pounds of fine grain in
its wake; as good as any to be
found in miles around. In some
localities it produced "a bushels
to the acre. But for the early
frost the yield would have been
much larger. There were some fine
large potatoes raised on Mr.. Smith s
homestead. Vino says we can't
raise anything in the hills?
Mr.. Fincher has so tons of good
timothy hay with all the rest.
Hurrah for the good old hills OF
Dry Buck. At the Phillips
ranch, which is several hundred
feet lower and not quite SO frosty,
of course, they can raise anything
in the line of fruit and vegetables,
and some of the finest corn you
will see anywhere in Idaho.

a month earlier, there wouldn't
have been enough blue ribbon in
Caldwell to have gone around, -
and John is correct. Considering
that the exhibit was gotten togeth-
er in less than week and that the
best of the fruit and garden products
had been marketed before the notion
of making a display had entered
the minds of the Emmett people,
it was a great victory, and goes to
prove what The Index has all along
claimed that there is no better
farming or fruit country lying out
doors in Uncle Sans domain than
right here in the Payette valley.
Lest some of our Eastern readers
may think The Index is over en-
thusiastic, we give below the Boise
SAteman's description of the dis
play:
One of the finest precinct exhibits
is that made by the Emmett Com
mercial club, in charge of J. c. De-
wey. A number of products shown
are worthy of special mention. In
"a section of the Emmett exhibit is
a large number of entries made by
Mr.. Dewey the products of his farm
located half mile east of town. His
corn, consisting of Missouri field
and Stearns varieties, is very fine.
The stalks are IA feet high and
heavy ears hang down-all fully
r1atured, making show that would
lbok good in Iowa or Nebraska.
The corn has not been gathered,
but Mr.. Dewey said eastern corn
growers had assured him the yield |
would be fully 100 bushels to the
acre. Six watermelons, weighing
As pounds each, looked good to the
visitors. They were fianked by
pyramid of muskmelons that tast-
ed as good as they looked. Other
features of Mr.. Dewey S exhibit are

Caldwell, Weiser, Baker City and

TENS of waterworks. The prime
object of their Investigations will be
to ascertain the advantages of
wood and iron pipes for water
mains. City Attorney Monroe was
instructed to prepare a sidewalk
ordinance, which will include a
number of streets in different parts
of town.

The above tells the story in a nut
shell of the success of the exhibit
made by Emmett farmers and or
chardists at the county fair last
week, and adds one more trophy to
the belt of the upper Payette val
ley.
The record now reads Gold
Medal at the Portland exposition
two years ago, silver loving cup at
the Natioual Irrigation Congress,
and the grand sweepstakes prize at
the county fair. Let's make it one
more at the Yukon exposition.
When John Dewey came march
ing home from the fair on Monday,
with streamers OF blue and red rib
bons sticking out of every pocket
and fluttering in the breeze, he re-
sembled a 42nd degree rooter in
victorious college football team,
and he was every whit as jubilant.
"Why," said he, eff we had COM
menced preparations for the exhibit

tion with seed suited to this climate
Mr.. Dewey thought corn growing
could be generally made very prof
table. A great many farmers were
glad to secure the information and
as result there will be more corn
grown in the Boise and Payette
valleys than ever before. Mr.. Dew
ey plants four grains to the hill
in rows both ways SO that he can
better cultivate the ground. >
The fact of the matter is, the ex-
hibit simply astonished everyone
who saw it, and opened the eyes of
people frommany sections ofthe state
as we'll as those from other states east
and west. The diversity of products
corn, wheat, oats, barley, pota-
toes, cabbage, turnips. tomatoes,
squashes, pumpkins, cucumbers,
watermelons, cantaloupes, tobacco,
raspberries and strawberries the Sc
cond crop, grapes, peaches, pears,
plums, prunes, ounces, and
whole raft of other stuff-surprised
everybody. The size and quality
of everything seemed wonderful,
too. Sixteen foot corn, with. Sc
veral great we'll formed ears hang
ing from each stalk; potatoes SO
large that "a filled bushef mea-
sure; a cabbage head that would
make enough sauer kraut to feed a
regiment of Dutch soldiers;
and the fruit not only had size and
color, but that delicious flavor that
only a perfect combination of sun
shine and soil and water can pro-
luce.
To John Dewey large share of
he credit for the success of the ex-
libit is due. He labored unceas-
ngly and in spite of obstacles that
would have discouraged the ordin-
Try man, he scored great victory.
The Index is unable to secure
ist of the winners this week.

some mammoth squash, four variet-
les of tomatoes, pepper plant less
than six inches in height con-
tanning eight large peppers, sor-
ghum 10 feet in height, and some
fine samples of sweet corn which
produced from two to three ears on
each stalk.
John Wilkins furnished an inter
esting feature os the Emmett exhib-
it, consisting of sweet potatoes :. the
only ones shown. Great bucnhes of
them are shown on the vine, Civ
ing good idea of the great product
iveness of the sweet potato on the
wilkins ranch. 1t has been claim
ed that sweet potatoes do not thrive
in Idaho, but Mr. Dewey said one
plat seven acres now growing near
Emmett proved to the contrary, and
he thought it would be very pofit-
able crop. Mr.. Wilkins had fine
variety of white corn fully matured,
which was taken from an Emmett
field that would yield 100 bushels
to the acre. The variety seemed
specially suited to this section of
Idaho, but its name was not obtain
able. Other fine exhibits in the
