IN OwYHEE COUNTY
COUNTY
POTOsI.

Work was begun on the construction of
the Potosi mill on Wednesday of this
week and several big freight loads of the
timbers are now on the ground and more
are arriving every day. All the machin-
cry and equipments for the mill, as well
as all the lumber required, are expected
to arrive here as rapidly as they are need
ed, and the work will be rapidly pushed
until completed.
The new tunnel to open the ore bodies
in the mine, above the shaft-house level,
was started this week. This tunnel runs
from the west, and will cut the old drift
run years ago about its face, and save
cleaning out and re-timbering this old
drift, now badly caved, besides making a
new dump for the waste. The vein is
quite wide in the face of the old drift and
contains larger percentage of silver. As
1t IS extended into the mountain it will
gain in depth quite rapidly, and it is
hoped, will cut into rich shoots of ore
known to be located further south. 1t is
known that the Potosi vein extends south
beyond the limits OF its ground and shows
in the rich prospects on the Getchell
claims beyond the summit Of the hill.
No work is now being done on No. 8
drift north, the power drills being taken
from that drift for use in the shaft-house
level tunnel.
Mr.. D. G. Nevin, president of the com
pany, visited the mine yesterday and was
well pleased with the manner in which
the work is progressing and favorably inn
pressed with the prospects.

HOMESEEKERS RATES FROM
COLORADO TO IDAHO.

The Oregon Short Line officials have
completed arrangements by which
homeseeker's rate Of one fare plus two
dollars viii be put into effect May 10, and
continue until Dec. l, from all Colorado
points to Idaho points. These tickets are
good for twenty-one days, thus giving
homeseekers ample time to look over all
the desirable farming localities in south
ern Idaho. 1t has been several years
since there have been any homeseexer's
rates from Colorado and it is believed the
rate will bring many Colorado farmers
here. They are particularly desirable
class as they are already familiar with ir-
rigation and do not have to learn it.

THE BANNER.

w. S. Sterling, travelling man for
Portland wholesale house, making his
22nd annual call at Silver City, spent
Tuesday here, visiting the Banner mine
and mill, he having been among the first
subscribers for stock in that company.
In company with Manager Steele and
Mine Superintendent Jones, he went
thoroughly through all the workings in
the mine, and expressed himself surprised
at the amount of work done in its devel-
opment and the showing made. After
being shown through the mill he declared
equal qualification, saying it was the most
substantially constructed mill for its
capacity he had seen, and he has no
doubt about its ability to work the ores
of the mine very economically and make
close saving of values. In other words,
as he expressed himself to a friend, he
was pleased beyond measure with his
visit In his travels he meets number
Of the stockholders in the company, and
he will leave with them all a favorable
impression of their investment.
The only regret Mr.. Sterling had to ex-
press, was that the company had not
started and run the top-of-the-mill cross
cut tunnel to cut the mine at greater
depth and by so doing, had obviated the
necessity of building the gravity tram, by
dropping the ore down to this tunnel
from the level tram and delivering at the
mill through the lower tunnel 1t was
explained to him that this had been
thought of, but had not been done be-
cause of the time it would take before
ore could be delivered at the mill.
The trestle work for the gravity tram is
now nearly completed, and lumber and
rails for the level tram are now coming
in. The company has ordered supplies
of quicksilver, lime, salt and bluestone
which will arrive by the time they will be
needed.
A connection is now being made be-
tween No. drift north in the mine and
the winze started in No. north, sunk

reasonable certainty that good percent

him. 1t is, however, immaterial whether
any of the uninstructed delegates are for

If the Idaho Statesman would only say
what it wishes to be inferred respecting
Senator Hepburn, it would be the more
manly course to pursue. Its manage
ment tries to leave the impression that it
is friendly to biggest Drained man who
ever occupied a seat in the U. S. Senate
from Idaho, while on every opportunity
giving some of his actions or opinions ex-
pressed just the intimation Of a slur Of
disapproyal. That the senator, while
disagreeing with some of the policies OF
the administration and openly opposing
them, still continues to maintain its good
will and regard, as well as that of its
friends who do not always view affairs in
the same light as he, shows that be is
big man. The Statesman knows this,
but refrains from saying it for some ul-
terror reason.

COMRADE ARNOLD THE VICTIM

This time it was Co,nrade Arnold Of
7th st. N. E., that was short in the
number he thought was necessary to
hold his strong castle. So he started
out to look up his reserves and while
he was thus engaged his stronghold
was invaded by an aggressive force, so
strong that he did not, deem it
advisable to try to eject them, but
with the assistance Of his good wife
did all he could to make the evening
enjoyable. Six tables wore held by
the requisite number of players until
eleven o'clock, when Grandma Arnold
had the call for lunch sounded, which
was eagerly responded to by all. After
lunch, which I should pause to remark

BALL PRACTICE.

The first baseball game of the
season was played at the ball grounds
south of the city last Sunday after
noon, when team selfstyled as the
prospective city team met and defeated
the Pine Tree Knots by a score of II
to 0: Only five of the regular players
of the latter named team participated
in the game, the vacancies being filled
by spectators. The affair was mostly
in the nature of giving players a try
out for the big team, which it is
hoped will be organized soon. Among
those who were given a trial at
twirling were Neuman, Wetzel and
Moran on one side and Armstrong
and Hogle on the other. The affair
Was pulled off very good naturally,
and it was regarded as a huge joke
when eleven men batted in one inn
ing. However, all will learn by
experience. and it is hoped that even
more will turn out for practice next
time.

LAND SEEKERS DUPfD.
Unscrupulous ''locators''
Working in the State
Of Oregon

H. H. Kelley, president of the
Kelley How Thomson company, has
returned to Duluth from the west and
says. considerable agitation is going on
n.Oregon over the fleeing of would
be- settlers by INSCRIPTIONS Gland
locators.
Mr.. Kelley says that many persons
from Minnesota and other states in
this section of the country, have been
going out there, upon inducements
from these "locators, - and have been
paying their hard earned money to
these. agents for the purpose of secur-
ing lands to which they have no title,
and can get none
The place where most of the fleeing
has. been going on and 'ssquatters
have been filing, are the Oregon and
California land grant lands. Some of
the bolder spirits among the spurious
land agents have been advertising that
Attorney General Bonaparte had given
his. sanction to the filing on the lands,
and this induced Mr.. Bonaparte to
write the following letter to the
Oregon editor:
"My Dear Sir: I am duly in re-
ceipt Of your letter of the oath inst.
with the inclosed clipping. It would
be a source of pleasure to me if I could
write you at some length on the
subject matter of your letter, but am
compelled to say that the interests Of
the government will not permit me
doing SO. can only say that it
proposes to undertake proceeding for
the purposes Of testing the rights and
responsibilities of the present holders
of the title to the lands to which you
refer, and that it would be advisable
not to make any expenditures in the
premises except upon the advise Of
competent and experienced counsel, in
whom implicit confidence could be
placed. Yours truly,
"Charles J. Bonaparte. -
1T is the practice of these pro-
fessiona1 '1ocltors' to secure from the
prospective holnesteader, fee of $500
for securing him tract of land, and
make him agree to give another 800
when the title is perfected said Mr.
Kelley, in discussing the matter.
"The agents know the title to those
lands is clouded and that a squatter
would have hard time getting good
title, but they do not care; they are
waxing far on the 800 fees Even if
the homesteaders can secure a good
claim to their property, the chances
are that it will take ten years before
the matter can be cleared up. It is
best to take the attorney generals
advice and not make any expenditures
on the land -
