mill, a cyanide plant, a compressor
and other improvements, making it
thoroughly equipped.
The mine was opened up six
years ago, and came into prominence
early this year, when a large lead of
ore was uncovered, samples in gold
running as high as SO, 600 a ton.
Mill tests of the ore during the time
the mill was running this summer have
averaged from $40 to $50 ton. The
property consists of ten full claims
and several fractions.

three miles from wagon road, which
has lately been pushed up the Salmon
river.
There are sufficient supplies al
ready packed in to last till next July,
and we will keep a crew of twelve
men at work during the winter. be-

big dividend paying mines of Idaho. "

A special feature of the work in
these Offices is the care used. in dag

co TO SALMON RIVER.
Surveyors Will Survey Trail from Lucille
to Bear Creek Country.

f. B. Meeker, of Kooskia, and
Fred Erskine and H. E. Rothwell, of
this city, left Monday for the upper
Salmon river country where they go
on business. Messrs. Meeker and
Erskine were appointed by Gov.
Gooding to superintend the repair
work on the Elk City-Dixie-O Orc
Grande wagon road and also to sur
vey the Bear Creek trail on Salmon
river. The work on the former
road has been practically completed,
as much as can be finished this winter
at least. The completion of the
bridge across American river on the
Elk City-Oro Grande road and also
the repair on the big log bridge just
out of Elk City were two of the last
jobs to be finished by the crews at
work on the mountain roads. Stage
drivers and freighters who were
acquainted with the Elk City-Stites
road before the improvement work
was started are well pleased with the
work done by the crew of men under
Messrs. Meeker and Erskine.
While away on this last trip into
the Salmon river country Messrs.
Rothwell, Erskine and Meeker will
start at Lucille and survey trail to
the Bear Creek country. After the
survey work is completed, specihca-
ton will be prepared and advertise
ments for contract published. This
trail, it is remembered, is the one fol
which local business men subscribed
so literally several months ago.
When the trail is complete much oi
the traffic to and from the Bear Greek
mines will come via the Salmon rivel
and Grangeville route.

would be glad to hand over to him the

secured the sum in full, all of which
he invested in the company stock.

Several years ago Charles Sales, a
young man residing on his fathers S
farm, a few miles northeast of
Grangeville, decided to study engin-
eering and accordingly took cores
pondence course from one of the
largest schools of that kind in the
country. When he had about COM
pleted his course he secured employ
ment as an engine wiper at the round
house in the o. R. s. N. railroad
yards in Spokane
On October, 1906, he, with
others, was engaged in coupling up
two large passenger engines which
were to pull train of several coaches
out of the city when one of the en-
gines, in some unaccountable manner,

ARRESTED FOR HORSE STEALING.
Prominent Juliaetta Men Arrested on
Grave Charge Operated Near Here.

-
h Grave Charge Operated Near Here.
Henry ]. Bauer, Frank White and
Edgar Kent, of Juliaetta, and George
Foresman, of Nez Perce county,
were arrested the last of the week
charged with horse stealing. From
press reports it seems that the men
are members of a well-organized
gang of horsethieves which has op-
Grated for years in Idaho, Nez Perce
and Latah counties and parts of
Oregon, Washington and British
columbia. All are we'll known and
prominent men of the Juliaetta sec
zion and were heretofore considered
respectable citizens.
# In his confession at Moscow the
last of the week Mr.. Baeur said in
part: "On Sept. 7, 1907, Kent and
III went to the George Foresman farm
in Nez Perce county, where talk
was had about running out 90 or 70
horses Foresman claimed to have on
the range in the Camas prairie country.
'Foresman then made arrangements
to meet the boys at Westlake and go
part way with the big band. He said
~ would not be safe to bring SO big a
band of horses to his home, as it was
s not known he had SO many horses.
: A few days later Kent and went
10 Foresman' place and stayed ir
bis barn all day, leaving it that night.
During the day Foresman came to the
barn, which is in secluded place,
way from his house, and had an
other talk with us about the horses,
heir sale and dividing the money
That night Kent and | took one o.
The Johnson horses and went by the
Way of Peck, Russell and Ferdinand
~ Westlake, where we waited two
Z days for Foresman, but he did no
low up. We sold the horse a
&ussell to Mr.. Campbell for S4s.

DEER VERY NUMEROUS.
This Fall a Good Season for Game in the
Mountains Successful Hunters.

Among men who are well informed
along such lines, this fall is regarded
as one of the best in many years to
secure wild game in the mountains.
Very few hunting parties have gone
out in the jungle of hills and canyons
but what they have returned with a
moderate amount of meat. Those
who did go and were unsuccessful in
bagging game, brought home exciting
stories galore--stories that will keep
the warm, responsive blood of the
enthusiastic nimrod a-tingling until
next year game season.
Early in the fall the killing of some
elk over in the vicinity of American
creek was reported. Other than this
one successful exploit, very few elk,
however, have been killed. But what
gives room for the belief that this fall
was banner season for wild game is
the exceptionally large number of deer
which have been secured. Not only
in the remotest districts of the country,
but from localities near the different
towns and mining camps come reports
of the killing and sighting of many
deer during the season.
In the last two or three weeks men
who reside on the hill south of town
and others who have been hauling
wood from that section bring in re-
ports of seeing deer almost daily. These
reports inspired several local sportsmen
with the desire to replenish the fam
lily larder and, incidentally, to have a
little genuine sport AS result a
number of parties went out in quest
of the elusive deer and most of them
were successful. Among those who
secured supply of venison are Alex
Hinkle, A. S. Wright, James Bick-
ford, G. Engel, ]. w. Hockersmith,
]. Van Vessen, VIM. Webb and c.
B. Knorr.

At the Court House
Probate News.

Probate Judge, R. F. Fulton, re-
ports the following items of interest
from his offices this week:
Geo. L. Patterson, of Warren,
has applied for letters of Administra-
ton of the estate of Robert G. De-
vine, deceased.
Decree of final distribution of the
estate of VIM. Hawley, deceased,
was entered last Monday.
In The Treasurer's Office.
A letter has been received by
County Treasurer Frank S. Rice
from c. A. Hastings, State Treasurer,
in which notification is given that the
state will accept no drafts payable
through clearing houses or clearing
house funds whatever in payment OF
state funds. Nothing but usual bank
exchange will be accepted. The
letter goes on to explain that it is the
intention to keep clearing house ex-
change out of the state funds entirely.
Mr.. Rice says that hereafter he will
be forced to refuse to accept anything
but the ordinary bank exchange in the
payment of leases or interest on de-
ferred payments, ETC., on state lands
This arrangement may be of sligh
inconvenience to some but it is inau-
gurated at this time to save costly de,
lays and extra work in the future.
The Sheriff's Office.
Everything at the sheriff's Office
has been rather quiet the past week,
as is the case with most all the Office
at the court house. Three prisoner
are being entertained by Jailor Bene
dict and other than looking after tn,
care of these, very little is doing a

COTTON PLANTING.
One of the Great Crops of the Yaqui Delta, Where the Fibre Can Be Raised to Great Profit.

In an enumeration of the possi- bilities of the delta of the Yaqui river there should not be omitted the culture of cotton, which is one of the great staples of that region, and will be one of the great ex- ports.
 Under the favorable climatic conditians planting can be done on the Yaqui lands one month earlier than in many other localities, which is usually in the latter part of March or in April. In the Yaqui delta the planting com mences usually early in March, and the ripening bolls are ready to commence picking in June, two months or more earlier than in the cotton regions of the United States; and picking can continue steadily for a period of six months consecu- lively, giving the advantage of picking season at least two months longer than elsewhere. Again, if the months of January and Febru- ary are favorable and the mild weather usual at that time con- tinues through the season the planter in the Yaqui delta will continue picking two or three years without replanting. No other region offers this advantage. The yield of cotton per acre on these lands is from fourteen hundred to two thousand pounds per acre. Near the gulf coast the lands pro- duce a long fibre product which equals the best Sea Island cotton.
 The local market is large and growing, and the proximity of the lands to tide water give the pro- duct of the Yaqui delta lands all the advantage of cheap transporta- tion in reaching the great marts of the world.
