Count Won POsadOwsky No Longer
Menace as Imperial Minister.

Berlin. July 13-Prince Buelows visit
to the Kaiser at Kiel has resulted in
what is practically a transformation Of
the imperial and Prussian ministries.
Last night the Norddeutsche AIlgemine
Zeitung announced the retirement Of
Count Won Posadowsky. imperial minister
Of the interior, and Herr Won Studt, Prus-
sian minister OF education. Count Won
Posadowsky is succeeded by Herr Won

shoes. and Herr Won Studt is succeeded
by Herr Won BethmannH ollweg. Of the
department Of education.

General regret is expressed at Count
Won Posadowsky's retirement He was a

onlsts. always reasonable and possessed
of enormous industry and knowledge. AS
early as last December it was noticed that
he was a doomed man. He did not
| approve Of Prince Buelow's breaking with
the Center. He prophesied that the So
cialsts would return ia strong. He dis

Radicals, and his idea of a Conservative

If there Is general regret at Count Won

which Prussia ever had.

With regard to the new men, Herr
Bethmann- Hollweg is an accomplished
scholar. an able speaker. and a Con-
servative 70 the backbone. but with in

DR.. LEONARD TALKS.

The Capital News has receiv-
ed the following interesting com
munication from DIR. J. G. Leon
ard, of Boise, who is at Challis:
Talk about your mines and
stock deals, but remember that
Custer and Lemhi counties are
coming to the front, and there is
no stir about it, either. The Pitt
Mill & Mining company of Val
ley creek, has struck it rich and
none of the stock is for sale.
This company has opened up a
vein so feet wide, and has tap
ped it with three tunnels, un-
covering ore that goes $3.50 to
the ton. The working tunnel
taps the vein 400 feet down and
there is enough of that kind of
ore in sight to last 10 years.
Their little mill has 10 stamps.
A run of four hours yielded 8
pounds of hard amalgam taken
from the plates. A large cleo
trio power plant is being put in
and will be run by water, plenty
of which is at hand to run all the
year, and there is also plenty of
timber.
"A Mr.. Warner, a mining ex-
pert from Denver, says it is the
biggest mine in Idaho, and if il
were in Colorado it would be
worth S., 900, 1000.

The manager of this property,
d. P. Carpenter, got dose OF
cyanide and went back to Pitts

plant is going on.
