RICH STRIKE IN LINCOLN
Eighteen Foot Vein of Rich Ore En-
countered.

There is considerable excitement
at Pearl over a rich strike made in
the Lincoln on Monday, at depth
of 432 feet.
Sometime ago work was started
on shaft to sink 100 feet. At that
point the ledge of rich ore was
struck IS feet thick. Samples of the
ore have been sent to be assayed and
it is predicted they will show very
rich values.

Two New SchooIhouses.

The rapid settling up of this sec
ton has created a demand for larger
and better schoolhouses. The dis
trict north of town has voted bonds
in the sum of $500 for new build
ing at some convenient location On
the bench, probably near Haw creek.
Down near Falk's Store, the old
schoolhouse has been condemned
and a brick or cement building will
take its place. Bids for its con-
struction are asked for in this
issue.

Black Pearl Mailing Tests.

The Black Pearl mine is making a
test of new cyanide process. which
has been recommended, after ex-
haustive experiments, to be especial
ly suited to the formation found in
the Pearl district. It's claimed to
be able TO save 95 per cent of the
values and requires not more than
10 hours to reduce the ores. Those
interested in Pearl mines are anx-
iously awaiting the result of the
tests. If it is as successful as its in
ventors claim it to be, Pearl will
become the richest mining camp in
the world.

ANOTHER Big ORCHARD
South Dakota Capitalist Buys
Choice Slice of Slope
Land.

Monday, Arthur Richards sold to
j. M. Joslin of South Dakota 80 acres
of raw land on the South Slope for
$50 per acre, which price does not
include the water right. Mr.. Joslin
is an uncle of Fruit Inspector Fields.
The new owner will transform
the entire tract into an
orchard. Mr.. Fields will have charge
of thedevelopment of the land and
will begin work as soon as water is
assured from the Canyon canal. The
task could have been given to no
one better qualified for the job.
Mr.. Fields is practical orchardist
of wide experience and he will un-
doubtedly create out of this piece of
sagebrush land a model fruit farm.
He says it is the cream of the slope.
Mr.. Joslin is wealthy real estate
dealer and recently visited Emmett
upon his return from an extended
trip through southern California
and Old Mexico. He is thoroughly
familiar with values of fruit lands
and he considers he bought some
thing for nothing when
ne secured this tract of land at $50
per acre.
A. A. Richards added to his land
holdings at the State land sale in
Caldwell Saturday by bidding in the
,nly 40-acre tract of state land on
he south side. The land lies at the
lead of the valley and Mr.. Richards
,aid $3.50 per acre for it.

PART or DAM GOES OUT
Ninety Feet of Canyon Canal
Dam Washed Away.

Tuesday night, about II o'clock
80 feet of the Canyon Canal Com
pany's dam, 18 miles up the river
was wrecked by logs and the upper
portion of it. at least. was washed
away. Just what the extent of the
damage is is not known at this time,
but will probably be ascertlined to-
day.
The part washed out is in the
middle of the river. The two ends
are still intact. The cause of the
washout is attributed to the forma-
tion of a log jam directly in front of
the dam Loggers report that the
current was so swift at this point
that many logs were ended up and
jammed against the upper part of
the dam. Others were continually
added until the strain became so
great as to force the dam to give
away. Another theory is that there
was hole in the bottom of the dam
at this point which created an eddy
and sucked the logs in. but this is
denied by those who are familiar
WIN cOHulLlOilS LIlcTe.
The dam was built by j. H. Forbes
and completed in July, 1905. 1t had
a crest length of 250 feet and a
height of 80 feet above bed rock in
the center of the river. On the
bottom it had total length up and
down stream of 80 feet, of which so
feet was crib work and 80 feet gravel
and granite rock front filling. 1t was
four feet wide on top A lineal foot
of the dam in the main channel had |
a pressure of $1,000 pounds. Its
weight per lineal foot was 220, 900 |
pounds. In other words, it was cap
able of withstanding pressure four
times greater than it was subjected
to by water.
The disaster has cast a gloon over
this city and over the settlers on the
bench. who were expecting to have
water delivered to them this week
and had made preparations to
receive it. All of them will suffer
losses, as a large acreage of grain
had been sown, which owing to the
continued dry weather needs water
badly. Harry Workman has a 175-
acre field of as fine looking wheat
as can be found anywhere, and w.
M. Wayman has a 200-acre field. |
Billy Feen and many others also have
large fields of grain and grass which !
will be total losses unless water is
soon forthcoming. The Canyon
Canal Company is also heavy loser
But no stone will be left unturned
to deliver water. President Rogers {
and Mr.. Niver, after viewing the t
wreck, summoned to a conference
D. O. Stephenson, C. c. Stephenson I
and Mr.. Scott, engineers of Boise,
w. M. Wayman, Harry Workman
and others, and they will meet at
the dam site today to endeavor to
ievise some means of filling in the g
gap temporarily in order to provide e
water for irrigating purposes as 8
quickly as possible. The plan pro- 2
posed last night is to construct fiat I
ooats, anchor them with steel cables
,ver the gap and sink them, one on
op of the other, by loading them
With huge granite boulders. Whether c
his plan is feasible, will be decided 9,

oday. Il
Meanwhile, work on the fume is
rapidly and will be COM
,leted this week. 1t is being sub
tantially built of heavy timbers and =

The washing out of the dam, while
unfortunate for the settlers on the
bench as we'll as for this city, is only
a temporary set back. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that under the circum.
stances its going out at this time in-

than a misfortune. 1t will be re-
