EARTHQUAKE AFFECTS MINES.
Engineer says Water in shafts Is
Gradually Decreasing.

e. c. Edwards, the New York mining
man. has returned TO Weiser from a trip
10 the Seven Devils 70 inspect the Blue
Jacket mine. which the company he rep
resents is contemplating taking a lease
and bond on. says the Idaho Statesman.
Mr. Edwards went to the district
for the purpose of investigating the
cost Of pumping water from the
Blue Jacket Mr.. Edwards reports a
phenomenon OF the district, in connec-
ton with the water in the deeper mines
of the district, part of which ne can
verify The miners state that in every
mine in the district the water has been
constantly diminishing since the san
Francisco earthquake. Last spring Mr..
Edwards was In the district and visited
the Blue Jacket. At that time the water
was running out at the top of the shaft;
now it is twelve or fifteen feet below the
mouth of the shaft and gradually sinking.
This, SO the miners say. is the case with
every mine in the district They are at
loss to explain the phenomena other than
the shock affected the depths Of the Seven
Devils Mountain and opened the assures
into which the water Is draining.

RYAN TO GROW PEANUTS.
Financier May Go 10 Africa soon to
Look over New Interests.

Look over New Interests.
When Thomas +. Ryan-Interests him
self in any enterprise he is more than
likely TO get everything out of it that
can be made to yield a profit. When he
acquired the 70.000 acres in the Congo
district it was generally supposed. says
the New York Tribune, that he would
be satisfied with the gold copper.
and rubber in sight there. But Mr..
Ryan. as a Vtrginian. knows the poten-
TALLY OF rich soil. and as there would
be many thousands of idle acres in the
Congo principally which he had ac-
quired, and as this idle land would not
yield any of the three great crops from
which the greater part Of his profit was
supposed to come, he determined TO put
il 10 practical use.
Virginia is a great peanut State. The
soil conditions in Mr.. Ryan's Congo do
main are peculiarly well fitted for peanut
culture. The best-paying grade of pea
nuts that come from the Virginia market
are the sO-called Jumbo variety-a large
rich nut, Astounding in oil and general
all-round nutrition.
Mr.. Ryan Is going to raise Jumbo pea
nuts on his mid-African property. These
Jumbo pean ITS viii bring a big price in
this market and win be instrumental in
breaking many a corner as now engineer
ed by the shelters in Mr. Ryan's own
State. Men with all technical agricultural
knowledge of the matter have been sent
to the Conso.
Probably the most used peanut is what
IS called the Spanish. an offshoot of
what used TO be exclusively grown in
Spain This IS the little round peanut
greater part of the crop grown there is
called Spanish No. / When the crop is
short there the original Spanish is inn
ported from Spain. but in fact il is
grown in Northern Africa The condi-
tons of the Virginia soil make it supe-
rior for this nut over any other section
in the world except the Congo district.
The Jumbo variety brings the highest
price, however. and naturally it was that
variety that Mr. Ryan selected for his
crop. He will later grow the Spanish
peanut which. although cheaper, mas a
greater sale than the Jumbo But Mr.
Ryan's advisers, knowing that the Jumbo
would have the greater sale If the price
were lower. have advised him to try that
grade first. And that is the grade that
Mr. Ryan vilI grown In the Congo dis
triet, and from the proceeds thereof he
hopes to be able to pay no inconsiderabie
part of the expenses of the working OF
his rubber plantations, gold mines, and
copper enterprises. It Is said that Mr..
Ryen will go to the Congo before very
long.
