COLORADO RIVER "cRIeeEo, CAS-
 MED AND CONFINED"

General Manager Cory of the c. D. company, was in Brawley this week and invited a party of friends to visit che intake of the canal of the Colorado river and examine the great work ac- complished there.
 The party consisted of MT. Cory, Chief Engineer Herman and Asst. Engineer Stewart of the s. P com pany, Director Wilsie and Supt. Earns. worth of Water Company No. 1, Supt. Allen and Directors Hovely and Mans
 field of Water Go. No. 4, Prof. Chand- ler of Pomona oCllege, Harry Stewart of Hastings & Stewart, real estate ' men and M. D. Witter of the News.
 The party went direct to Hanlon
 junction and there took a special train to the intake They found a rock bal
 lasted and rip-rapped levee 15 miles long, perfectly made and at all points some four feet higher than the highest
 water ever known there
 A half mile from theintake gate on
 the river, immense loads of rock have been piled in such manner as to pre- vent the forming of bars, and to pro tect the intake from floods.
 There are now 1000 second feet of water passing the intake and in June ahd July when the river is highest and the demand greatest there can be no possible volume of water in the river that can threaten the stability of this great engineering work.
 The visitor cannot but be impressed with infinite care, pains, labor ana scientific knowledge expended on | this great work, and one is really re- minded of some great steel works or navy ward as he looks on all the ma chinery and supplies used in it's build ing. Up and down both leVees are lines of telephone poles bearing wires and having instruments fixed at one mile distances, that watchmen may patrol both levees and give instant notice of any threatened harm to the structure. Great piles of rock and sand are stored near by and at a call for help a trainload of material could
 be dispatched to any given point III GU minutes. Cables tools of all kinds and material are in place and ready for any emergency and it can truthfully be said that the Colorado river can never again give trouble to the people of I'm . perial valley.
 There is a certain stability and rec I ognizable strength in all the details ol ] this magnificent work such as wins the q visitor, and tells of the efficient man
 agement that brought it all into being At this stage of the river the leyeeS
 are 25 feet above the water
 The engineer in charge of the work
 is F. M. Upstill, we'll known in Braw j ley.
 It was learned that at the highest
 flood in the river this season the water
 reached only 600 feet of the great lev
 ee which is 15 miles long.-Brawlel ! News.

The democrats are slowly recovering
from the shock of defeat of the National
ticket, but are congratulating themselves
on the election of their legislative ticket
from this county. We are so used to be-
ing defeated on the national issues that it
does not seriously affect our digestive APP
paratus except to curtail our supply ofthe
where-with-all to satisfy an increasing
appetite.
The Rebekah masque ball was well at
tended and the ladies are to be congrat-
ulated upon having given the most sue
cessful entertainment of this kind it has
been our lot to witness. The hall was
very tastefully decorated with unique de-
signs of witches, black cats, owls and
other things of ''spooky" nature. The
music was furnished by Jeffrey's Orches-
ira assisted by Mrs. DR.. Hamilton at the
piano. The merry dancers, arrayed in
flowing robes of white, made quite an
awe inspiring spectacle. Mother Goose
was there, but instead Of her faithful dog,
was attended by the boss Thomas Cat of
the crowd. An enjoyable evening was
spent in merry-maling and dancing until
the wee small hours Of the morning.

IN owYHEE COUNTY

The outlook in this camp was never
better than at present. The Federal
Mining and Milling company, that has
purchased the Ontario and Stuben
properties, has had large force of men
at work for some time putting the prop
erty into shape to open it up to good
depth, by driving a tunnel 1000 feet
that will tap the ledge at 1900 feet
Roads have been built and the neces-
sary buildings erected. This property
ia located in the immediate vicinity of
the richest part of the Trade Dollar
property. AS the company has ample
funds aud good competent foreman,
who thoroughly understands his bust
ness, the successful development of this
property into a producing mine is only
question of short time.
The Potosi mill is in active operation
and the music of the mill and mine
right in the edge of town, is constant
reminder that we have producing
mine right at our doors.
The Banner t1nnel is being rapidly
driven into the mountain on level
with their mill and when they strike
the ledge they will have an immense
body of ore to mill
There are other good properties that
are being developed and in short
while the old camp of Silver City will
be the busiest mining beehive in
the State of Idaho.
Large bodies of rich ore can be shown
in the properties on all sides-Boulder
Flint, War Eagle, Homestake, Rooster
Comb, Sugar Loaf and many other sur.
rounding localities are only waiting fol
proper financing to become rich pro
ducing mining camps, with Silver
City as central point, while the Della.
mar and Trade Dollar are steady pro
ducers.
Mr.. A. F. Stevens has purchased il
Salt Lake the necessary electrical ma
chinery for the Rich Gulch propert,
and will soon install an air compressor
and machine drills.
The large air compressor for the Po
tosi has arrived and is being put il
position.
The Wennersten property is beinl
developed by a crosscut tunnel, al
rapidly as possible.

Latest Reports Of The
Result in the States
Idaho.

Practically complete returns show
that Taft carried Idaho by about Is 900;
that Brady is elected governor by near
ly 1000 majority; that every candidate
on the Republican ticket is elected, al
though some of them by small plurali-
ties, aud that the next legislature will
be Republican,
Every county in the north went for
Taft and all but Latah for Brady. The
southeast went solidly for Taft and Bra
dy, and most of the Republican candi-
dates.
In Bannock county, J. F. Hunt, speak
er OF the Idaho house, is reported as
elected by only Is votes. In Fremont
county John Hart, regarded as one of
the strongest of the Republican leaders
in that part of the state, was elected by
small majority. Bear Lake is the
only county in the southeastern part of
the state that is reported as having
elected Democratic Legislators.
