OIL INDICATIONS PLENTIFUL.

1t has been known for number
of years that oil exists In this por-
tion of the valley. Several years
ago two wells were drilled on the
Hopkins ranch to secure water for
domestic purposes. In each the
water was found so highly impreg-
mated with oil that 1t was impossible
to use 1t. Samples of the oil were
sent to Denver, Salt Lake and Port
land to be tested and In each in
stance the analysis showed from rs
to 70 per cent pure oil AS a result
Of the test, H. A. Partridge and
John Bloomfield of Nampa leased
the land belonging to Mr.. Hop
kins. and some development work
was done. but operations were soon
abandoned and the lease allowed to
expire. At that time considerable
oil excitement prevailed and num-
erous claims were staked out on
government. land on the Butte. AT
other places. notably the John
Bayse farm, the indications are

ically 1t Is neat and attractive. being
printed on good book paper and got

ner. The paper reflects credit upon

Lake Tribune and Goodwin's Weekly.
which two papers are the ablest anti
Mormon champions in the country.
Both are prejudiced, and guided by
personal, If not selfish interests. The
Scimitar seems to be the out post of
the Utah American party, and Is the
the offspring of bigotry, deceat and
hypocracy. The Scimitar ably. elo-
quently and fearlessly presents its
views. For this full credit Is due.
and The Tribune congratulates Sena-
tor Dubois and his fellow publishers.
Senator Dubois as a man deserves
great credit from the people of Idaho.
He Is honest, If prejudiced, capa-
BILE and tiresless. He has done much
for Idaho. He stands by his friends.
The Tribune admires and respects
him. He probably has more personal
friends in Idaho than any other man

sadly handicapped. 1t has one mis-
sion and is not open to reason. 1t
cannot convince because 1t cannot be
convinced. However, The Scimitar
Is well worth reading. 1t can do the
worst no harm and might do the best
some good. We commend 1t to our
readers.

Caldwell BANKS
Still Stand PAT

The financial panic has come and
gone. 1t did great deal of good
and some harm. For a few days the
New York stock gamblers were ena-
bled to make things interesting for
the country at large, but owing to
the abundant prosperity everywhere,
a fiutter in Wall street could do no
permanent damage. The panic has
brought some interesting facts to
light and the people will do we'll to
remember them. The weak institu-
lions were forced to show their
hands. This is worth something. With
no particular danger the banks of
Boise, Nampa, Payette, Weiser and
several other towns took advantage
of the opportunity to meet all con-
tingencies. They were afraid. 1t
will be source of qualification to the
people of Caldwell and to the Cald-
well banks for years to come to know
that the First National, the Western
National and the Caldwell Banking
4 Trust Company's bank were ready
at any time to pay dollar for dollar
and no questions asked. The Trib-
une congratulates Caldwell and its
banks. The town is in good condi-
ton and so are the banks. They
will not lose by the stand taken.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN.

Mr.. Henry Kehoe, who has been
manager of the Sonnemann proper
ties at South Mountain for the par
ties holding an option on them, came
In from Boise, Wednesday, and we
learned from him that work had been
suspended on those properties until
spring. 1t now being too late to get
machinery over there before winter
sets In. The men whom Mr.. WAYNE
Darlington Interested I'm the devel-
opment of this group of claims, are
said to be wealthy New York and Sy-
racuse men, and they have during
the summer done large amount of
development work, meeting all their
obligations promptly, but find that
without machinery, they could not
satisfactorily do sufficient develop
ment work to justify a purchase of
the property without an extension of
their option, which it is presumed
they have secured. Mr.. Kehoe went
out to Boulder creek yesterday with
Mr.. Fegtley, to examine the group of
mining claims recently located by
several Silver City parties. and this
week bonded to Mr.. Lee Bunch
Owyhee Nugget.

H. B. HEYBURN'S
SITUATION VIEWS

The demand of national banks for
increased circulation continues. I'm
der the demand for the past five
working days the treasury depart
ment has increased its circulation to
1857 ,45O and this is likely to be
largely increased. The treasury Of
ficials hold the belief that the money
stringency has had its run and is
in the last stage.
A protest has been made to Pres
ident Roosevelt by Senator Hepburn
against the further deposit of gov
eminent money with New York banks
until these institutions consent to pay
the reserves of western banks In cash
intead of cashiers checks. The pres
ident requested the senator to put his
views in writing. Following is the
text of Senator Heyburn's protest:
ION behalf of the western and the
northwestern states. would urge
that no further deposits of money
from the treasury of the United
States be made in New York banks
except on the condition that such
banks shall Immediately make an ad-
vance In money to the western
states. The full amount OF the reser-
yes should be paid by such New York
banks. The tying up of many mil
lions of dollars of western money
representing the reserves of the wes-
tern banks held by New York banks.
must inevitably result In empower
ing the New York banks to determine
the time and conditions of resump-
ton of banking functions by the
western banks, whereas II the reserve
OF the western banks could be con-
verified into available money at once
the financial situation of the west
would be free from domination on the
part of the east and would be of great
value In the restoration of desirable
financial conditions"

Vincent st. John, one of the motor
ious leader of the Western Fedora
ton of Min rs, was shot at Goldfield,
Nevada, Tuesday, by Pat Mullaney
another leader of the miners. The
trouble started over a dispute be-
tween the two men. st. John ad-
vocated that no electric lights should
be burned here the power for which
was furnished by the California pow
er plant. He insisted the plant was
nonsunion and that the city should
be put in darkness. Mullaney advo-
Gated different course, and in an
argument with st. John he shot the
latter.
+ st. John is in the miners union
hospital with fractured arm and
fingers. Pat Tenant, union leader,
was hit with chance shot, was taken
to the union drug store and thence to
the hospital.
Mullaney is in Jail and refuses to
talk. The streets are crowded, and
more shooting is expected tonight at
the union meeting. This means the
end OF union rule here. Mullaney is
from Cripple Creek and was leader
there. The doctors report that both
men will live. Another miner was
grazed on the forehead by flying
bullet.

Close Call On Canal

John Banks Oueck, aged about 10
years, son OF William c. Qucck, Of
Chesapeake City, narrowly escaped
being drowned on Friday afternoon OF
last week. Young Qucck and some
companions started to skate towards
Summit Bridge and after getting quite
distance beyond Pivot Bridge, Qucck
decided to return to Chesapeake City
When about two miles above the
latter place on the return trip, he
broke through some thin ice where a
feeder made into the canal. The water
was or Q feet deep where he first
went in. He succeeoed in breaking the
ice to the shore but was so exhausted
that he could not crawl out His cries
attracted George Thornton on the
Davidson place, who reached the un-
fortunate yonug man just in time
When Mr.. Thornton got Queck pulled
out he was unconscious, and it required
considerable work and time to restore
him to consciousness He then walk
ed the three miles to Chesapeake City
and was but little the worse of the ex-
perience.
