F. w. Bradley and Associates Become Owners
Of Big Mining Property Here.
STAMP MILL THIS SUMMER
Company Will Lay Broad Plans For Extensive
Operations in the Future.

All of the details in regard to the sale
of the Buster gold mine by S. w. Smith,
to F. w. Bradley and his associates
have been agreed upon by all parties
concerned, and the formal transfer of
the property will take place the coming
week in the Office of Bradley & Macken-
zie, in San Francisco. Mr.. Mackenzie,
the member of the company who was
selected to make the final inspection of
the mine, and on whose word the deal
depended. left Tuesday morning, after
nine days spent at the mine, and Mr..
Smith, the present owner, left today.
Mr.. Mackenzie went from here to Spo-
kane, then to Seattle, and will arrive in
San Francisco about the time Mr.. Smith
gets there. Mr.. Smith will be absent
from Elk City just long enough to close
the business and will then return and
close up his affairs here, preparatory to
returning to his native state, California,
to take a long and needed rest. Mr..
Smiths position as superintendent at
the mine; which he has held since the
property was taken under bond last
September, is taken by Mr.. Joseph
Thorn, young man who accompanied
Mr. Mackenzie here. w. L. Brown,
who is now assayer and engineer, will
return to San Francisco.
Elk's New Prosperity Dawns.
The sale of the Buster mine, which
has been anxiously waited for SO long,
and to company with the high stand
ing in mining circles that the new COM
pany has, means more for the future
prosperity of the Elk mining region and
central Idaho than cold type can say.
The coming to the district of Bradley,
Mackenzie, Callahan, Wertenweiler and
others means that the Elk mining re-
gion is field for investment promising
big returns, and their move will be
followed by other men with capital, who,
lacking the knowledge and actual ex
perience, have, been too timid to take
the initiative ii opening up the district
The operations of the new company
alone will make this district one of the
best and most prosperous in Idaho
But the courage and confidence the new
company will impart to other capital
lists and investors is sure to start boon
that will eclipse any boom in centra
Idoho since the discovery of placer gole
in Pierce City and Elk City made then
the liyeliest camps in America.

Plenty of Nitrogen Let.

1t has been estimated that In France
alone the amount of nitrogen yearly
taken from the soil is 100000 tons and
not much more than one-half of this Ia
returned to the soil in stable manure
Let it be assumed, for the purpose of
argument, that those countries employ
ing heterogeneous fertilizers use during
each year 100000 tons of nitrogen.
This seems to be a fairly liberal eB-
Innate judging from the above figure
regarding France and the fact thar
during 1905 100000 tons Of nitrate
of soda were employed throughout the
world. On this basis 1t is easily seen
that there is no danger Of impoverish-
ing the atmosphere, for the atmospher-
ic pressure at sea level corresponds to
about eleven pounds of nitrogen q
square inch, or say 1900 pounds q
square foot, or 20000,000 tons a square
mile.
Each square mile OF the earth's eur
face has above 1t enough nitrogen to
supply the entire world for five yearx
on the basis assumed above and slncd
the entire surface of the earth is not
much short OF 200OO0,0O0 square miles

ARMY OF JAPs IN HAWAII.
Three Complete 6rigades, Total o
5000 Men.

BerlinIThree complete brigades Of
the Japanese army, approximately
40 trained soldiers, are in the Ha-
waiian Islands, according to informa-
ton in the hands of the German gen.
eral staff.
1t is said that the Japanese migra-
rion to the islands has been super
vised carefully by the japanese war
department, and the members Of the
two brigades have been sent slowly
and without attracting any attention.
The official information here indi-
Gates that the Japanese could seize
the islands Immediately without
trouble, If war should be declared
against the United States. This move
on the part of Japan is looked upon
as characteristic of the crafty and in
genious war methods Of, the little
eastern people.

DEER IN THE UNITED STATES.
Whitehall Population North of Rio
Grande About Half a Million.

Whitehall Population North of Rio
Grande About Half "A Million.
In the season OF 1895 the official re-
turns showed that 1900 deer were kill
ed In the Adirondacks. 1t is notorious
that official returns are far below the
actual slaughter, for we must add
those killed Illegally during or out of
season as we'll as those that we're killed
and not found. There is also a pro-
portion destroyed by natural enemies,
so that we need not hesitate to accept
the chief protectors estimate that TO-
900 deer were killed in the Adlrondacks
during the season of 1895.
But this must have been far less
than half their number, otherwise they
could not stand the drain, as they evil
IDENTIFY do. l have heard hunters esti-
mate that under the most favorable
circumstances the deer do not add more
than a third each year by actual In
crease. If, therefore, more than quar-
ter are killed in a season 1t means
falling or. But the Adirondack deer
are holding their own and l should
therefore estimate their numbers at
10000, or, roughly, three to a square
mile
The official report for Maine gives
1879 deer killed In 1899, which we are
to believe means destruction OF at
least $1,000 deer. But they have ample
room and are steadily increasing, so
that l put those in Maine at not less
than 10000, or about two to the square
mile, In 1900. w. II. Hornaday gives
the estimate of deer In Maine at lOO,-
600, or three to the square mile, In
1904.
The Adirondaclss, northern New Eng
land, northern Michigan, northeastern
Texas and the dry parts of Florida,
aggregating 10000 square miles, may
yet show an average of three deer TO
the square mile. But we must con-
slider the species absent from Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Kentucky, the northern half OF
Missouri and the southern halves OF
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New
York and Ontario, total of about 6O0,-
VVO square mlleS VI Ihef peS' NO"'i
try. And the rest of the region marked
for Whitehall in present times Is SC
J nearly without them that one deer to
five square miles would be liberal
estimate. These figures would make
the entire Whitehall population NORTH
, of the Rio Grande somewhere about
100000. The State of Maine, therefore
has now one-fifth of the deer In thu
country, because she has learned tha
they are worth keeping.-Scribner's

Judge TuthilIs Advice to Woman

DN0hSu ny OpOuSc.
Chicago.-The killing of husbands
who beat their wives was advocated
by Judge Tuthill in the course of a
divorce suit tried before him today.
Indignant at a woman's description
of the inhuman treatment to which
she had been subjected by a man who
claimed to be "her master" and
aroused by statements that his abuse
had taken place in the presence of
men who would not interfere, Judge
'Tuthill declared that in extreme cases
violence should be met with violence
no matter what the consequences.
1T is a woman's duty either to kill
man or get away from him." was the
judges emphatic utteraLce.
The court also recommended thai
neighbors should rush in to a suffer
ing woman's rescue and assail the
woman-beater with any missile OF
weapon to hand. He announced thai
any one who took such action would
find friend in him.

BIG STEAMER BURNS.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON LAKE
CAYUGA, N. 7.
steamer in Flames In Middle of Lake
Mad Race to Shore, Where the
Steamer Was Beached in Seven
Feet of Water-Nlne Lives Were
Lost.

Auburn, N. Y, July 29.-The steam
boat Frontenac was burned and
beached opposite Farley's point at
Lake Cayuga and nine lives were lost.
The victims were all women and
children passengers and all were
drowned. Several other passengers
were severely burned before the boat
could be beached. She lies burned
and blackened under seven feet of
water. The bodies of the drowned
women and children have been recov.
cred. The following were drowned
and the bodies subsequently recov-
cred: Miss Homer Genung, Free
Vile; Carl Genung, years old; Mrs.
Zalia McCreery, Cohoes; Miss Ida
Bennett, Frankfort; Miss Stella Gin
ton, Ithaca; Miss Marietta Sullivan,
Syracuse; 6-year-old daughter of
Howard Able, South Bloomington ;
two unidentified women.
The most seriously burned are
Mrs. Able, South Bloomingsburg;
Eliza futile, Middleton; Charlotte
Brigham, Syracuse.
The steamer, on old sidewheeler
double-deck craft, which has piled be-
tween Ithaca and Cayuga on Lake
Cayuga for rs years, left the former
place this afternoon for the upper
lake, carrying so passengers and a
crew of 10.
In midlake fire broke out in the en-
CINE room and, famed by stiff north
east wind, spread quickly to the af
terward section of the boat. The
crew Of II men behaved splendidly
fighting the flames at first, but seeing
that nothing could be saved turned
all their attention to the passengers
Life preservers were put on every
one that could be found in the brie
time, but in spite of their efforts nine
persisted. Captain Brown directed
the work Of the crew and was the las
to leave the burning boat.
In strong contrast to the Drawer.
Of the crew was the panic and in som,
instances cowardice of many mel
among the passengers. In trying t.
save themselves they seriously i'm
peded the work of the crew. Whel
midlake Captain Brown turned tn
bow of his little steamer toward tn
shore and set his crew to work to sui
due the flames if possible and to cain
the passengers and see they got lif
preservers.
The flames made rapid headway
however, and there was great excite
ment among the passengers as the
were driven to the bow of the boa
The boat was beached at Farley
point. Men from the summer CO
tages did valiant work in rescuin
the passengers and in caring for tn
injured. 1t is not known just ho'
the women and children were throw
into the water. 1t is thought, how
ever, that they became panic-stricke
and either jumped into the water a
the boat neared the shore or wer
forced overheard in their rush to &c
into the boats that put off.
