News of the big deal became
known because Harold Brown OF
Pittsburg, Pa, recently approached
Mr.. Sweeny and made proposition
to lease the tailings from the Big
Buffalo, which were carefully saved
by a series of dams. Mr.. Sweeny
is stated to have told him that he
had no authority to sell him the
right to work the tailings, because
he control of the company had
passed to the Guggenheims, adding
that they valued the tailings at
$2OO,OOO.
The development work planned
by the Guggenheim interest is esti-
mated at S5, 900, 900.
One of the waterpOwers which it
is said has been transferred by Mr..
Sweeny to the Guggenheism is the
famous "Wild Horse" power. The
outlet of a lake denominated as
"Wild Horse" rushes over a preci-
pice and makes a fall of over 400
feet. 1t is said that Mr.. Sweeny
valued this power at about q quar-.
ter of a million dollars.

Two Business Changes.

Two important changes in bust
ness firms have occurred in this city
the past few days. Silas Atstin,
who has been the senior member of
the firm Of Austin & Wann disposed
of his interests in their mercantile
business to his partner, f. f.
Wann and will retire from the
business but continue to reside
here. Mr.. Wann has taken charge
and informs us the new, firm will
be known as E. +. Wann & Co :,
and continue along the same lines
as it's predecessors.
The Hotel Grangeville, which has
been under the efficient manage
ment Of j. A. Dalziel for the past
five years, has been leased to X. J.
Mcconnell, well known citizen of
Idaho county. Mr.. Dalziel took
hold of the business when it was
pretty well run down and has
turned over to the new landlord a
we'll established trade. Mr. McCon-
nell is an old hotel man, having
been in the businesss many years
in Washington previous to his
coming here. He is well known
among the mining men and has
many friends who will be glad OF
this opportunity to extend favor,
He informs us he will see that the
very best the market affords is on
his table and all patrons will be
properly taken care of.

MILLIONS FOR NINE
Oaes oweeny Dposes of Famous Big Buffalo Property and Fifty
seven Other Idaho County Claims to the
Cuggenfems for that Sum.
MEANS MUCH TO THIS CITY

Another big plum has fallen into
Grangeville's lap-the Big Buffalo
mine and the other claims owned
by Charles Sweeny have been sold
to the Guggenheims for SO, 900, 900.
For some time it has been known
by local parties that the Guggen-
helms have had an expert in the
Hump looking over the the Sweeny
property and that deal was in the
air. The sale means much to
Grangeville, as the only route into
the Hump is through our city and
in all probabilities the time is not
far distant when a railroad will
connect with the N. P. here and
give route to the smelters at Salt
Lake by the way of Lewiston and
down the Snake river route of the
Short Line. In regard to the par
ticulars of the deal, the following
dispatch from Spokane is our source
of information:
Spokane, Oct. l9-(Special. "A
gigantic mining deal said to involve
an expenditure of at least sS, 900.
600, has just been consummated,
it is said where by Charles Sweeny,
the Spokane millionaire, has sold
the famous big Buffalo mine in the
Buffalo Hump district in central
Idaho.
The big deal includes not only
the lannon's big Buffalo group, but
also the Vesuvius mine, near CAL
landar, and a number of other
claims, giving the Guggenheims
control over a total of So claims in

A Sad Ending.

Word was received here We'd

E. Lockwood on his property near
higgins. According to the inform.
alton obtainable at this time it
seems to be case of suicide. He
had made preparations to start for
Boise where he had position on
Senator Dubois paper, and after
presenting shotgun to one OF his
friends, made present of a six
shooter TO another with the re-
mark, "Fil show you how it
works." stepped into the sleeping
room. Shortly after a shot was
fred and his companions rushed in
and found him prostrate on the
floor with bullet wound in the
heart. Mr.. Lockwood was one Of
the prominent men of the state.
Details will be given next week.

are also located two Mormon taber-
nacles. The Kicks Academy,
Mormon institution with 3l2 pupils
has it home here. Its the wealthiest
Mormon school in Idaho. Here the
on coming men and women are in

called religion which teaches the
practice OF polygamy, that it's
church is first last and always.
Joseph Smith is held up as an ideal
and young Mormons are urged to
lay aside the laws of God and
country. In fact the country is the
hotbed of Mormonism. Some Gen.
tiles have ventured within the do
main = they are sorry of it now.
The old policy of the church to
gradually wear them away by a
strict social and business boycott
has been adhered to. There has
been some progress but the Nor
mon kind only. Gentiles have been
nnwelcome. Fremont county is a
"church county," The "brothers
wife" dodge is worked here and by
this and other methods of mani
pulation they have kept up the
practice of polygamy.
Gentle Control.
Now take the Twin Falls coun.

sage brush marked the present
fertile fields. The Mormons have
made some attempt to colonize tht
county but when the big irrigation
project was put in the influx O
Gentiles was too strong ant
progress followed. The county
has not the advantages Of Fremon
except that it is free from Mormon
control. A class of live western

their residence around the Twil

Although Fremont county is

county in the state, it has made
less progress within the past
twenty years than has the Twin

of her soil, many acres under ir'

IT IS NOT A FACT
Sites Editor Called Down on
His Careless Assertions.
THIS CITY GATEWAY TO ELK
A. F. Parker Gives Undeniable
Facts regarding Routes.

Grangeville, Idaho, Oct. Is,
1907.
To the editor: Our jocular
friend, Col Frank Roberts of the
Sites Sentinel, published one OF
his characteristically misleading
articles last week in which he
proudly points to the fact that the
distance from Grangeville to Elk
City via Buffalo Hump and Gro
Grande is 81 miles.
The matter is not of much pub
lie interest, but l would suggest to
Col. Roberts that the distance from
Grangeville to Elk City by way Of
say, Warrens, Thunder Mountain
or Salmon City, is considerably
longer.
But people do not usually travel
the longest way around like Cat
chasing it's tail, or like Col. Roberts
involved in the intricate convolu-
tions of his extraordinary logic,
and to enable him to escape there
from 1 would politely call his at
tention to the other fact that the
distance between Grangeville and
Elk City over the usually travelled
road by way Of Harpster is SO
miles. This distance cannot be
stretched like the Col. stretches
his alleged facts. This road, SO
miles long, has been travelled for
years before Col. Roberts ever
heard of Elk City or Idaho. This
road was originally built by
Grangeville money, and Grange
vile men have successfully worked
for state aid to be expended upon
this road, and if l am not very
much mistaken there are very
recent proofs that Grangeville men
have contributed freely of their
means to aid the betterments on
this road. just why anybody
should want to create prejudice
against the business men of Grange
vile on this topic in the face OF
their known liberality on the road
question passeth ordinary compre.
hension.
l may state incidentally that
Grangeville men have contributed
, money enough in the development
of Elk city mines to pay the state
debt, and while many of us have
never realized cent from oul
mining investments, yet we have
never lost faith in the eventua
outcome of Elk City as a grea
mining camp.
Col. Roberts could easily engage
in better business than in arrayin,

the Hump camp, as we'll as all of
the valuable rights which Mr..
Sweeny has held in that camp for
some years.
To Build Railroad.
The plans OF the Guggenheims
are stated to include a railroad up
the Salmon river to Fish Lake
gulch, up Fish Lake gulch past the
town of Callandar and the Cracker
jack mine to Vesuvius. From the
Vesuvius hugh tunnel is to be
bored through the hill, gaining a
depth Of 400 feet below the big
Buffalo, which lies high on the
hill, and depth of 23O0 feet be
low the top in the mountain known
as "Buffalo Hump"
The Guggenheims are reported
to have paid 100000 for the
control of the Big Buffalo company,
which also owns the Vesuvius
mine. The company is capitalized
for 1000, 600 and the Guggen-
hiems are said to have paid par
value for the control of the stock !,
in spite of the fact that the mine
has been closed down for many
years.
The Big Buffalo was discovered
in 1898 and purchased by Mr..
Sweeny and associates for $3.50, 900.
The deal, it is understood, was
closed after the Guggenheims sent
an expert to examine the mine. He

some Of the more enthusiastic have

quartz that would assay from as

Eastern Money Pouring In.
The Mt. Marshall group of claims
which was owned by j. G. Fox, P.
r. Briggs and Charles Waldum.
has been sold to the Rapid River
Reduction Co., an organization of
wealthy Ohioians, for 500, 900. Be.
sides this group the company has
purchased others to number
which added to the Marshall makes
thirteen. The assays show the ore
has values from s1S to 1882 a ton
and is OF the same formation as the
famous Goodenough.
Doing Much For Camp.
J. Edward Stewart, one of the
principal stockholders of the pur-
chasing company, bas been in the
district ever since the deal was
closed in July, and it is
stated has done more work
toward advancing it than any
other man in the camp. He has
constructed 10 miles of wagon road
from the state road to the camp. A
six stamp mill has been erected on
the property and forty horse en-.
gine is on the ground. A saw mill
will put in an arrangement being
made for the erection of an electric
plant.
Ancsher Good Claim.
Messrs. Fox and Briggs are doing
development work on the Sherman
aud Old Corporal groups which
they own. Seventy feet of tunnel
has been driven and the last shot
put in showed $500 ore.
Men Scarce.
Things are booming in the camp
wages have been high and miners
scarce all the summer long. All
the trade of that camp will natur-
ally come from Grangeville and the
fact of its rapid development is a
source of considerable satisfaction
to the people of this city. In re-
gard to the famous Goodenougf
property we make the following
clipping from the Weiser Signal.
What Famous Coodenough Is
Doing.
New discoveries and develop
ments in the Marshal lake mining
district are proving pretty con
clusily to mining operators that i

Idaho. Some of the richest ledge'
yet found in the state have beer
