For 200 years there has not been 1 do

Late advices from the district are to
the effect that this discovery of the
precious yellow metal is the biggest
and richest strike ever made in Gen.
trail Idaho. The ledge is being un-
covered as fast as possible, and in
two weeks a small fortune has been
extracted. A six inch streak of
quartz in the vein goes $7,663.20 in
gold; another streak measuring II
inches gives return of 100000.
To show the extreme richness of the
discovery twelve ounces of dirt was
washed and four ounces of gold was
the result Samples running from
100000 to- $4,000 are taken
every day, and coarse nuggets are
very plentiful. On Sunday ten sacks
of ore were extracted from the vein,
which gave an assay, after careful
sampling, Of 100000.
The strike was made on Horse
Hill, mile or so back of Bonanza,
just across the gulch from the fam
Gus Chas. Dickens mine, which, in
it's day, produced millions of dollars.
The values were encountered at the
grass roots and with the work done,
are proving richer. The group is
called "The Runover" for the reason
that the ground has actually been
run over by hundreds of people in
the past twenty years. Bonanza is
a camp about one hundred miles
northwest of Mackay, in the gold
belt of Central Idaho. There are no
less than half a dozen extremely
rich gold properties being worked in
the immediate vicinity of Custer, Bo-
nanza and Ivers at the present time,
by large companies, who are MAX
ing large amounts from the ore veins
Of the district.
This strike, considering the. num-
erous other active properties near
Custer, is quite sure to make that
end of Custer County, a thriving
and attractive district, with the pro-
liability of a good big town, either
at Custer or Bonanza.-Mackay Min

If AT FIRST, ETC.

Explorer Steffansson, who recent
ly returned from Alaska, gave out an
interview in Washington on trial mar
riages in the far north. He says they
have proven tremendously success
full up there. The problem of con-
jugal relations has been happily
solved; in the land of candle grease
is luxury there is practically no
domestic discord. If at first they
don't succeed they try, try again.
The explorer relates that there is
no such thing as family trouble as
the result of these trial marriages
excepting in those sections that have
been visited by missionaries. The as
sumption is that discord in those To-
calities comes from the efforts to
Christianize the natives and not
form any other operations of the
missionaries. The farther away from
religion and civilizing influences the
Esquimos live the more perfect in
their domestic life, says the eXplor-
err.
The marriage arrangement is as
simple as it is said to be effective.
Young people try first at about 16.
If the first marriage does not prove
successful, and it is admitted it sell
dom does, they quietly separate and
marry again. Usually it requires
three attempts before satisfaction can
be guaranteed, but it is the rare ex-
ception when the third marriage
does not prove lasting.
Because of the precedent which
tells the friends and relatives that
the third knot is rarely ever united
the ceremony incident thereto is the
most imposing of all. Feeling that
the couple is at last finally gotten rid
of, the parents of the bride do not
hesitate to go to more trouble in
preparing festivities than marked
the former try knots. Friends bring
as gifts larger hunks of walrus meat
and an extra candle.
In case children are born as the
fruits of former marriages they are
taken without complaint by foster
mothers or fathers. In many
instances, though they are adopted to
older married folks who are settled
and childless.
1t is a strange story the explorer
brings us, and it will be repellant to
some because of its inference that
civilization and religion tend to
breed discord.
But, after all, there may be some
thing in it. We have both, and we
have conjugal descriptions enough to
worry the devil respecting the future
of his haitat And we have good
many trial marriages, too, but, of
course we have ,the divorce courts
to make everything perfectly proper,
don't you know.

Cement TeleDhOne Poles.

1t is said that reinforced cement
makes telegraph poles which are
practically indistructible. Fine rods
set around and bound at the top and
bottom with other rods. These are
put in a box, cement is poured a
round them, and when the cement
sets there is a perfect, graceful, in
destructible telegraph pole, and it is
so elastic that it will stand bending
three or four feet The original cost
is a little more than the wooden
pole, but when completed it is fixed
for all time. The pole is set in &C.
ment, it has nothing to give away,
nothing to decay.
The ordinary telegraph pole lasts
twelve years, and to repair and sub
stitute new poles costs $4,000, 900
per annum. Reinforced cement poles
make repairs unnecessary. Then it
is said they are a protection against
lightning; when the lightning comes
their way 1t will run down the pole
instead of along the wire. Then a
poles has no effect on reinforced &C.
sleet storm which breaks wooden
ment poles. Forests are rapidly dis
appearing, poles are growing more
and more costly every year, and a
substitute for them is needed, and
that substitute seems to be the re-
inforced, or as they say in the east,
"the armored cement poles"

Excitement at Payette

PAYETTE, Oct. 18.-Great excite
ment prevails here over the gushe1
which came in about 3 o'clock this
afternoon, struck at a depth of about
100 feet, at the Oregon Oil & Gas
company's well No. 1. and within a
few minutes safter crowd of sew
eral hundred, attracted, by the roar
Of the escaping gas, gathered to wit
ness such site as has never been
witnessed in Idaho before.
The workmen after drilling thru
three feet of very hard shell like sub
stance were warned bv the rumbling
ound and ran at safe distance when
the gas carving water and some oil
shot into the air 25 feet above the Is
foot derrick, height of about 100
feet in all The well continued to
gush with terrific force for about
half an hour, and occasional large
quantities of sand were thrown into
the air.
When the ran the workmen were
compelled to- leave the drill in the
well anA the sand falling back clog
ged about the tool and stopped the
flow. The drillers have decided not
to attempt to remove the drill for a
period of "a hours, in order to await
developments, and the company feels
certain that they have remarkable

Lost River Phone

Supervisor, G. B. Mains of the
Lemhi South National Forest has
just returned from a trip to Idaho
Falls, where he had been for con-
sultation with the Construction En-
gineer of the Fores, Service, in re-
gard TO improvements to be made
upon the Forest during the coming
year. Mr.. Mains has been author
lied to eXpend $500 for the construc
tion of roads and trails, and states
that it is his intention to expend
the most of this money upon the
road over Pass Creek summit and
the Double Springs Pass, in order
to give the residents of the Little
Lost River and Pahsimeroi alleys
feasible route to get their pro-
ducts to market.
He has also been authorized to
furnish wire, insulators, brackets
and poles, free of charge, for the
construction of telephone line from
Mackay into Little Lost River, pro-
viding the people in this vicinity
and Little Lost River alley will per-
form the labor thereon. The only
reservation the government makes
for contributing the material for
this line; is that no toll shall be
charged over the line. They also re-
serve the right to say how many
instruments shall be placed upon
the line in order that it may not be
rendered useless by having too many
intruments attached. Mr.. Mains has
taken up the matter with the man
ager of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Co., of having switch
board placed somewhere in this city,
in order that this line if construct
ed, when necessary, with the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Co.'S line,
and in making such connections the
users of the line will probably have
to pay a switch fee of from ten to
fifteen cents, and the regular toll
from Mackay to the point upon
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
line to which they are talking.
Mr.. Mains states that he does not
anticipate any trouble in getting the
Little Lost River people to perform
the labor necessary upon said line,
to carry it to the summit of Pass
Creek, as the people of that valley
have been very anxious for the past
several years to obtain means of
communication with the outside
world 1t remains with the people
of Mackay and the Big Lost River
valley to get together and make
plans for the construction of the line
from Mackay to Pass Creek summit
The people of Arco have already
made an offer to do their part to-
ward the construction Of this line,
to secure its terminal there. 1t be-
hooves the people of Mackay to meet
this proposal and have this line
brought to Mackay. This telephone
line together with the construction
of the road through Pass Creek, will
mean many hundreds of dollars of
trade each wear tn thic town ond 10
an opportunity we cannot afford to
let go.-Mackay Miner.

DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE.

1t is announced that the League of
Southern Idaho Commercial clubs at
its annual convention, which will be
held soon in this city, will consider
a plan to enlarge the scope of its
work. 1t has been suggested that 1t
be transformed into the Idaho Devel-
opment League, under some scheme
similar to that adopted by the Cali
fornia organization, which has done
more for that state than any other
agency.
There is nothing in the name in this
instance and the identical work could
be accomplished without rechristen-
ing the organization, but those who
favor change of name point out
that it will in itself inspire greater
degree of endeavor and that the
league will the quicker become all it's
new title would indicate.
The league has already done much
for the state-a great deal more than
is generally known. It has taken up
with the railroads matters of great
Importance. Its representative char
acter has compelled a measure of at
tention that would not have been
given the individual of the single
club; and it has secured valuable
concessions. Moreover, it has widely
advertised Idaho, and it is known
that it has been directly and indi-
rectly responsible for bringing many
people from the east to this state.
So far it has been confined to deal
ing with transportation problems and
homeseekers. Under the present plan
it can do but little more. But with
the scope of its work enlarged as pro-
posed it would not only be in posi-
ton to handle everything that has
been put up to it in the past but it
would be enabled to deal also with
capital.
Capital seeks investment at all
times; and there is no more promis-
ing field for it than Idaho. So far it
has been brought here largely
through the efforts of promoters, who
have, of course, their own interests
to care for in all deals. They are not
altogether public spirited. They want
theirs, and none blames them for it
Capital sizes them up with suspicion
from the first and it is only after
superhuman effort has been put forth
that it will yield to their representa-
tions.
We do not want to understand that
it is our purpose to discredit the pro-
moter. He is great individual force
in development. He has accomplished
much for the west, and the west is
deeply under obligations to him. Our
point is that he could be assigned ma
terially by development league.
If he has project of real merit,
the league could lend it's Endorsement,
and there is no doubt the approval of
an organization representing as it
would solid the business interests of
southern Idaho would carry more
weight with prospective investor
than the word of an individual.
Conversely, the league would deny
appreciation to hot air schemes, and
it would soon come to be known
among eastern investors as depend
able authority.
Aside from the aid it could render
enterprises initiated by others, it
could take up important matters on
its own account, and if the expert
ence in California amounts to any
thing there is little doubt it would be
the means of bringing many thous-
ands to Idaho for investment.
All this requires thorough Or
ganization, a strong one and an hon.
