He DiSIikeS Court Processes.

Joe Darrah was in ShoshOne Satur-
day having been summoned from his
mine in Stanley Basin as witness in a
case which was not heard after he got
here. He returned to the mine the
next day, breathing out fire and sud
den death to all court processes that
took him away from the gold mill
where he is piling up gold bricks like
cord wood, ready for the day when
there is so much gold that it will be
good only as ballast or building ma
terial
Mr.. Darrah has really met with
wonderful success in the development
and operation of the mine. He has so
feet Of ore that is expected to mill not
far from $40 ton. An expert who
recently visited the property, says that
if the mine were in Colorado it would
sell for s., 600. 600. 1t is equipped with
a 20-stamp mill and a complete cyanide
plant. The total cleanup is expected
to reach an average of 95 per. cent of
all the gold values contained in the ore.
Less than one-half of this is saved on
the plates, the rest being recovered by
the cyanide process which treats all the
tailings. The mill is to be shut down
soon. for the winter, as it has not been
possible to get ready for an all-winter
operation of the plant because of the
remote location. Next year will doubt
less see this one of the most notable
properties in Idaho.

More Street Lights for ShOshone

At a meeting of the town board Mon
day night the question Of a street light
on the bridge on Peterson street was
discussed, and the light will probably
be installed soon. The street has long
been dark and dangerous, and the light
was considered in the way of safe busi-
ness insurance against a possible acci-
dent and a heavy damage suit. 1t is
also probable that the grade of the road
will be widened and made more safe for
passage, while walk might be built
to accommodate the number of people
who live in that part of town. In
places the grade is hardly more than
twice the width of a wagon, which
makes it extremely dangerous, espe-
cially after dark. The city is taking
out rock from the lava knoll near the
court house which can be used in build
ing up the retaining wall for the grade
at this place.
An arc light is also to be placed at
the northwest corner of the court house
square, and has long seemed desirable
There are so many tall trees there as to
make it a very dark corner.
The question of wells for city drink
ing water supply was brought up and
in brief, but was not favored
by the council A 6-inch well is esti-
mated to cost from $500 to $1,000 with
the uncertainty that it will be a good
producer. The towns of Jerome and
Wendell, however, have bored wells,
Jerome to a depth of 342 feet and Wen
dell half that depth, and both have as
fine water as there is in the world.

IRRIGATION MADE EASY.
New Patented Water Wheel Will do
the JOb---An Idaho Invention.

Letters patent for water wheel in
vented by Pocatcllo man, have been
issued at Washington, according to an
nouncement made by Mum & Co., the
Washington patent lawyers, to w. c.
Dougherty of this city, says the Poca-
tello Tribune Mr.. Dongherty perfected
his invention about two years ago. A
working model has since that time been
on exhibition at his home, 82O North
Main street. Officials of the patent
Office in granting the patent, offered
the pleasing information that Mr.
Dougherty's wheel is the most perfect
and complete ever submitted to the
Washington authorities.
The wheel is designed for the lifting
of water for irrigation. 1t consists of
a frame carrying two fan wheels on each
side, geared to an endless belt of
buckets, operating on a square shaft.
The paddles of the fan wheels are con-
cave, affording the greatest possible
resistance to the current of the water.
On the model shown in Mr. Dougherty's S
yard there are twenty buckets. Two
are submerged always at the same
time and two at the top are always in

MINES ARE PROSPEROUS.
Idaho County Gold Hunters Doing
Well at Their Trade.

F. E. Johnesse of Lucille, Idaho
county, was a passenger on the east
bound passenger train Thursday morn
ing. He was on his way to Baltimore,
to report on his work as manager of the
Blue Jacket mine in Idaho county This
mine has one of the most checkered
careers of any mine in the state. It
has always shown good values Of cop
per and gold-it is in the Seven Devils
copper country but the veins have
been so elusive that a number OF owners
or leasers have quit it. Mr. Johnesse,
who had it six years ago, still had faith
in the property, and after it had passed
through several other hands ne organ
lied a company back east which has
been at work for two years, with fine
success. The shaft is down 650 feet,
with good ore values in sight. It's the
intention to develop the property for
almost two years more, until the rail-
road is built from Huntington down the
oHdhS river, WiiSh IllS lililS WEI DS
ready for an immense ore treating
plant.
With Mr.. Johnesse was Louis Smith,
a former member Of the state legisla-
ture from Idaho county, and a miner
from Buffalo Hump, which was the
biggest boom camp in the west in 1899.
Through mismanagement some of the
most promising properties of that dis
repute, but the camp is good, as is also
the nearby camp of Elk City. Elk City
basin produced perhaps not less than
$50, 900, 600 in placer gold in the palmy
days of placer mining, from 1861 to
to the early 7O's. Considerable quartz
mining is now carried on there.

ShOnShOne'S New Business House

Shoshone is to have another live bus
mess house-indeed, has it now-in the
coming of the firm of D. L. Pruitt &
Sons, from Omaha, Arkansas. Mr..
Pruitt, who mas been president of the
bank at his home town, as well as en-
gagged in general merchandise and other
enterprises, wanted to try the west, so
he and all his sons with their families
came to Idaho. They brought a small
stock of general merchandise as a
starter, but plan to put in a complete
new stock as soon as they can find
good location here and learn something
of the local needs. They now have
good line of staple sroceries and dry
goods, but will make it one of the best
stocks in this part of the country as
they can get a good place. They are
located in the Baugh block, next door
to the Twin Falls company Office. 1t is
a welcome addition to the business of
the town.

DEATH OF II. A. SECOR.
Well Known Lincoln County Citizen
Goes to His Long Rest.

H. A. Secor Of Hagerman, an old and
respected citizen of Lincoln county,
died Friday at the home of his sister,
Mrs. z. Swinehart, of Hagerman. He
had lived in Idaho for a great many
years, first in Cassia county, where he
held a number of public offices, includ-
ing clerk and recorder and commission
er, and later moving to Lincoln county.
Here he was commissioner for one term,
and was also a candidate for the legis-
lature or the democratic ticket year
ago, but lost by few votes. He had
the typhoid fever year ago, since
which time he has never regained his
health The funeral services were held
Sunday
Mr.. Secor was twice married, but
survived both his companions. He
leaves a son, H. E. Secor, of Idianapo-
lis, Indiana, who came here this week
to settle up the estate of the father
The son plans to remove to Idaho to
make his home as soon as his wife, who
is now ill, regains her health so that
they can make the trip.

the position of dumping, SO that really
the wheel is required to raise but seven
loaded buckets at one time.
Mr.. Dougherty estimates that he can
construct a larger wheel forabout $500,
which win have a capacity in a current
running two miles an hour to lift one
thousand gallons every minute. The
device is compact and very simple, the
valuable and patentable parts being the
concave blades of the wheels, the hinged
boxes forming an endless belt, and a
device whereby the fan wheels may be
raised or lowered without disturbing
the position of the main frame. -Poca-

Two of a Kind.

Messrs O. R. Ball and A. T. Smith,
manager ard travelling agent for the
American Type Founders company at
Portland, were in town Thursday morn
ing, on their way up the branch to
HALEY. There isn't another such
pair of men travelling for any other
institution in the west. Both men are
tall-6 feet 4 inches and matched to
hair in the matter of height; both are
as straight as the proverbial Indian and
then some; and they are as good fell
lows as ever packed a grip and started
out to please the public. They are
making a business trip through their
territory and will be here again tonight.
Mr.. Ball says that business conditions
are remarkably good all their section.
which embraces most Of the Pacific
northwest. The are selling bigger bills
of goods than ever before. and the fact
that prices are higher in all lines is no
bar to the steady buying. In partic
ular, the newspaper men Of Idaho have
been liberal patrons Of the type house,
and there has been a noticeable change
for the better in the appearance Of
many Idaho publications.

TuffieId Cleared After Hard Fight
By the Jury---Judge Also Un-
ties Matrimonial Bonds
---COurt AdjOurnS.

Court adjourned here Saturday at
midnight with the report of the jury in
the Tufield case. The jury brought in
a verdict of not guilty, so the prisoner
was necessarily turned loose. There
was some division among the jury, it
being reported that the first ballot
stood six for acquittal and five for con-
viction, though the exact figures are
not given out After four hours
debate a verdict of not guilty was
agreed upon. Spectators who were not
interested either way have said that the
verdict was surprise, but the man is
free, and that is all there is to it.
w. c. Tufield was granted divorce
from his wife, Henrietta Tufield, whom
he alleged has left him nine years ago
Bert Butler was sentenced for horse
stealing to six years in the penitentiary,
and will soon be taken to Boise to be-
gin his sentence.

Big Wood River Land Open
ing at Gooding, Nov. IA.

On Tuesday the state land board at Boise met and
sanctioned the opening Of the Big Wood River tract OF
the Idaho Irrigation companys Carey act land segrega
ton. The opening will take place at GOodng Novem-
Der eth.
This is the land that was to have been opened Sep
tenber a. but the opening was postponed comprises
10000 acres the west end Of the land segregated by the
Idaho Irrigation company and to be waered from their
great storage reservoir twenty FIVE miles up the Big
Wood river from Shoshone.
There is nothing finer in Idaho in the way of farm
lands There is no better water right Water will be
the act next year. The land extends within few miles
of Shoshone only four miles from here to the nearest OF
the land The balance Of the land will be easily tribu
tary to Goodng and surrounds the town all four sides
1t will be the only opening the main line OF the o. 5
L. in southern Idaho.
The townste of Gooding is to be opened at the
time Some lots may besold earlier to applicants who want
to put up business houses and be ready for the opening
Fuller details will be available next week.

on the big project.
The first work will be the installation
of the big centrifugal pumps, three II
inch pumps, the largest in use, to pump
out the water to allow for the laying OF
the foundation of the dam,, The foun-
dation will be concrete, and. there will
be concrete core clear to the top of
the dam. A wing, or Golfer dam, will
be built to keep the main flow of the
river out of the way while the founda-
tion work is in progress. Then the
pumps will be set to work and the ex-
cavation can go on without Interrupt
ton. Two large tunnels, large enough
to carry the full flow of the river even
in flood season, will be run to take the
water away from the dam proper
These will either laid out in the open
river bed, built entirely of concrete, or
concrete lined tunnels through the solid
lava flow that forms part of the dam.
They will be about 500 feet in length.
Gates are to be put in to allow of the
tunnels being used at any time to drain
the reservoir for power, or for any pur-
pose whatever.
An electric power plant is to be built
this winter to furnish light and power
for work on the dam. About four miles
below the dam there are falls in the
river where 400-horse can be developed
at an expense that is triAing as COM
pared with using steam power for the
dam work. A complete electric plant
is to be put in, and a pole line laid up
to the reservoir for its utilization.
Electric drills are to be used for the
immense amount of rock work neces-
sary to move the whole mountain down
into the river bed to make the dam. 1t
is given out that the work will be car
ried on so rapidly that water can be de
livered on the Gooding tract next year,
while the Alberta tract will have water
this winter.
Several hundred men are now en-
ployed on the canal and dams, and more
are being added as fast as they come.
The horses owned by the company and
now at work on the construction use a
car of oats every three days. All
southern Idaho is being secured for hay
and grain to feed these animals. There
will be little diminution in the number
of horses employed and none in the
number of men, while the two big trac-
ton engines now in use, the two still
larger ones now on the road, and the
4OO-horse power electric plant will all
be doing their best to complete the
work.

Electric Road Certain
Sure Thing that 1t Will Be Built as at First
Planned---Rush Big Wood Project

Major Fred R. Reed, sales agent and
chief booster for the Twin Falls North
Side company, promulgated some won
derfully good news here in Shoshone
Saturday morning when he showed a
telegram from the hackers of the North
Side Electric railroad between Miner
and Gooding, saying that the road was
to be pushed to an early completion be-
tween those two points While Good
ing was the point agreed upon in the
contract with the state land board as
the point where the electric should
strike the main line other surveys have
been run to determine whether some
other poin. might not be even more
feasible Apparently this point has
been settled and the route fully deter
mined upon.
This promised railroad activity, in
connection with the rush work being
done by the Big Wood River construc-
tion contractors, augurs great things
for the rapid development of Lincoln
county Work is, of course, going on
steadily on the big canals for the Twin
Falls North Side company from Miner
down through the main tract. The first
segregation near Miner, which is part
of the land belonging to the South Side
tract though on this side of the river
will have water this winter according
to contract. This is the 80, 600 acre
tract opened at Miner in April. Work
is to be continued steadily so as to bring
water to all the Jerome and Wendell
land as soon as possible.
On the Big Wood project, north of
Gooding, some of the segregation also
extending south of the town and ad-
ioing the North Side tract, work is
being rushed as never before. A num-
Der of miles of the main canal for the
Alberta tract have been finished ready
to turn the water in. The headgates
are well along, the diversion dams can
be finished in a few days, and water is
to be brought on that section of the
tract this winter-it could be brought
on within so days or thereabouts if it
were necessary. The main working
force of the company, however, has
