NEW ELEVATOR
A SURE THING

], M. Anderson, manager for the Buff
falo Hill Mining company, arrived We'd
nesday from Grangeville, where he
transacted business for several days in
connection with the new elevator the
company intends to install this summer.
.1e reports the bargain for the machine
has been made, and the equipment is
expected to arrive in Sites in about
ten days. Mr.. Anderson states the
machine is to be used in working the
fiat in front of the cabins, and not the
new pit, as stated by Mining News a
few weeks ago.
The installing the new elevator will
necessitate employment of large force
of men on the Buffalo Hill placer in the
future, which is now the biggest pro-
ducer of placer gold in the district.

TIEDEMA.N BUYS
in COLUMBIA

Charley Tiedeman last Saturday
bought of J. L. G. McCafrey his one
third interest in the Columbia group of
mining claims. The owners of the
property now are Charley Tiedeman
and Charley Svenson, of Elk City, and
George v. Harrington, of Spokane,
Washington.
The Columbia comprises four claims,
and is a very good prospect, owing
chiefly to its close proximity to the
Buster mine. There is tunnel more
than one hundred feet in length.

John H, Jones Says Two Men VIII
Work to One in Occur d'Alene.
LEWISTON HAS FAITH
Believes Mines Will Make a
Denver of That Town.

John H. Jones, the well known as
sayer and metallurgist at Lewiston, was
"a visitor in camp over night Monday
while returning home from a profess
sional trip in the Orogrande district
When seen by the Mining News man
Mr.. Jones was bubbling over with good
remarks on the mining outlook for
central Idaho, and we believe he is 60
ing to be from now on the biggest
booster, with influence, that ever Wis
tied the districts. Mr.. Jones says the
Lewiston country is banking on the
mines in central Idaho doing for Lewis
ton what the mineral resources have
done for Colorado cities, Salt Lake,
Butte, Spokane, and other American
cities, and, after his visit here, he be-
lieves their faith is well founded.
"You will have railroad here before
long," said Mr.. Jones, "and when you
get it two men will be employed where
one is employed in the Coeur d. Alenes. "
Mr.. Jones visited the Buster and met
Supt. Joseph Thorn, whom he knew ir
British Columbia several years ago.

logging, lumber and building operations
are resuming in all parts of the Pacific

More than 5000 men are already at
work on the North Bank, the Riparia
branch and the st. Paul and the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle lines and it is
expected that this number will be
doubled as soon as the spring work be,
gins. All conditions favor logging ope'
rations, and crews are being sent into
the forests every day. The mines il

the richest silver-lead producers in the

pubncan campaign managers no little
annoyance The Republican view of
the incident is we'll set forth by the
Chicago Inter Ocean, one of the lead
ing Republican papers in the entire
west. The Inter Ocean said:
"The Hon Nicholas Longworth pro-
posed to 10000 American citizens in
Rock Island on Friday that Mr.. Taft
should be made president of the Uni
ted States for the next eight years and
Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years fol-
lowing Mr. Taft's second term.
"As Mr.. LOngWOTth is President
Roosevelts sOn-in-laW, his words are
accepted usually as semi-Official for
the White House. This is the unfortu-
nate feature OF his utterance in the
present instance.
The American people are not look
ing for a lord protector. Even the
most ardent admirers of Mr. Roosevelt
would not care to make him another
Diaz.
with some eight years of the presi-
dency behind him next March and
with eight years Of Mr. Taft before
him, Mr.. Roosevelt, according to his
son-in-law's ideas, would be able to
celebrate on March 4, 1925, nearly
quarter of a century of personal rule
over this republic.
Such a program is not one to be
announced just now, incredible and
impossible as it seems. Especially it
is not one to be announced from the
bosom of Mr.. ROOseYelt's family. Good
politics and good taste are both against
such utteranCes.
aside from Mr. I0ngWOrthS nlain
assumption that MI Taft's two terms
would not constitute even subStan-
tial interregnum-Wit which no real
friend Of Mr.. Taft can agree-such re
marks regarding the institution Of
Roosevelt dynasty are not only shock
ing but absolutely damaging to the
Republican candidate and the Repub-
lican party
Speaking of the LongwOrth incident,
Mr. Josephus Daniels, chairman Of the
publicity bureau al Democratic head
quarters, said:
The people may take it in their
heads in November to knock Mr.,
Longworth's nice family arrangement
in the head by going outside the close
corporation and family monopoly of
the presidency That would be sad
for the son-in-law, but good for the
country. The remark of Mr.. Long
worth shows that long tenures In Of
flee for one party makes those in
power think they own the government.
If for no other reason than to teach
the son-in-law and others near the
throne that this is republic, the
voters will decide upon a change in
November"
