rHUMB BUTTE ORES
 ExfENsIvE AND DEEP
(from Tuesdays Daily)

After developing the property of the Derby Mining Company into its pres. ent stage in the last five years. raising the necessary funds in the sale of stock, George |. Young now has the company recognized and financed for larger operations than ever, the scheme of development being moro pretentious than any ever started h the Thumb Butte or adjoining districts.
 The property is opened by two shafts 300 and 265 feet in depth, respectively. The showing in the works Is such as to warrant the expenditure of n large amount in further development, as large bodies of ore of good grade are uncovered.
 The plan of development involves the sinking of the 300 foot shaft 10 a depth of 800 or 1000 feet from where a eYosscut will be run to . point un- derneath the e65 foot shaft. Should the ore showing warrant, n raise will be run to connect with the 265 foot shaft on the Italian claim, which will be made a three compartment one and one of the main working shafts. There are four large veins cropping on the surface covered by the thirty.three To. cations comprising the group. Tne or iginal holdings of the company consist 
 ed of fourteen claims, ninteen others having been added by General Mana ger Young since he started develop ment operations and satisfied himself of the wonderful possibilities of the veins, in all of which he has ore nn' covered. Ii is the general opinion of all mining engineers who have exam ined the ground that the four large veins unite at n great depth, forming one great vein in which an immense ore deposit will be found.
 The group is located five and a half miles west of this city on the crest of the divide between the Thumb Butte and Copper Basin districts, a mile and A half south of Alto station on the main line of the s. F., F. & P. railroad In the acquisition and development of the company's claims to their present stage, MT. Young encountered many difficulties, not the least of which was financing the company for continuous operation. The work was not affected in any way by the panic on the eastern money and stock markets of last fall and winter, work being prosecuted steadily. He is deserving of great ere dit for his judgment in selecting the property out of large number of oth' CTS in spite of the fact that no mines were ever opened to any considerable depth in the vicinity. He proved that the lodges had continuity and depth
 His success in financing his company to open the property beyond the pros
 meet stage is n fitting tribute to the honest and capable management ne dis played in his administration of the eoneern's affairs and the high esteem in which he is held by his assoeiaie' for energy. and business integrity The company is now close corpora tiou. owned and controlled by i've men
 with no stock for sale.

.NIAGARA,S WATER POWER

If industry could triumph over beauty the fail of water at Nis9aI@ could some day be converted to enanu- featuring uses. generating over 4,vvH 900 mechanical horsepower ana ca ing the creation at Niagara CT tne greatest manufacturing center lne world has ever known. Sixty-Iour years ago Daniel webster. with prophetic eye. turned toward the faIs , ands said: If the Thames had q 1au of 250 feet within the limits or Lon- don, London would not be toWn' ~ would be the whole world AHd -He had not then foreseen the development of electrical power.
 Lovers of nature and of the peausl- full have. however, circumvented ,, ln, dustry in it's efforts to divert the ran Of water to more sordid uses. When the nation began to see that every tlme a new manufacturing enterprise fopnp a home between Lake Erie and LAke Ontario. there was a decrease Tn tne flow of water that came over the great precipIce in Niagara River, Us peope thought It wise to take steps 10 iitnlt such enterprises, and so protect itoHi final annihilation the biggest na- tural wonder of this country. It has been a stern, but good -natured war between the commercial and aTt-loVlhg sides of the nation, A prominent mAh- ufacturer argued very seriously rev weeks ago that If the nation neeued more food or clothes, or paper or other articles than were being manufactures, 1t would be only the just and rignt thing to do to divert every drop or the water at Niagara to mechanlcal uses, supply the people with the need ed commodity at a low price. ano' II necessary, leave the rocks bare ana brown So far In the contest, however, nature lovers have won. and the power peneratIon on the American side is let until June 2s, 1909. unless further les- fslation on the matter is effected. and the Secretary of War has the right tc revoke these permits at will. Ihe campaign that brought about this vic- tory was led by the American CIVIC Association. The press and the peo- ple at large took It up, international discussions were held, the Burton act became a law despite the opposition ,ot the manufacturers, and MT. Tart. then Secretary of War. made a pilgrimage to the spot and studied the situatioh carefully and in detail.
 The loss of water from Niagara Falls has already been considerable, with out taking the power development question Into consideration. Erie Canal draws water from Niagara River at Buffalo. tho Weiland Canal takes from Lake Erie. and further back the volume Is diminished by the water taken from Lake Michigan by the Chi- caRo Drainage Canal.

PRAIRIE GROVE.
TERRIBLE

Last Monday was the forty -sixth ami
versary of the Battle Of Prairie Grove,
fought in Washington County, Arkansas,
some seventeen miles south of Fayetteville,
on Sunday, December Z, 1862. General
Thomas G.. Hindman, an ex-Congressman
from Arkansas and a born fighter, who
was assassinated at Helena after the war,
commanded the Confederate forces.
Among those who had commands under
him may be mentioned Generals D. M.
Frost, F. A. Shoup and John S. Marina
duke, commanding divisions, and Generals
John S. Roane, j. F. Pagan, M. M Parsons
and cambridge McRae, and Colonies J. O..
Shelby and r. G.. Shaver, commanding
brigades, and others. On the other side
we're Generals James G. Blount, Frank j..
Heron, John McNulta and Daniel Huston,
division commanders, and others. The
Federals outnumbered the Confederates.
1t was battle royal. The skirmishes around
Santiago, over which such great ado has
been made by Roosevelt and other his
tory fakirs, were insignificant affairs COM
pared to it. The charge of the Federal
troops across an open field and the capture
of Blocher's Arkansas battery, in which
the latter lost nineteen men in killed and
wounded and forty nine horses, was a
gallant affair. The repulse of the Federal
charge by the Confederates and the recap
ture of the battery was as gallant as any
thing ever recorded in the annals of war
fare. The battle was fought by troops
from Arkansas, Missouri and Texas on the
Confederate side, and from Kansas, Iowa
and Illinois on the Federal side. At dark
the battle closed, leaving the Confederates
masters of every foot of the ground on
which it was fought. The Confederate loss
in killed was 1854; wounded, ST. missing,
336. The enemy lost 400 dead on the field
and 1900 wounded and 275 prisoners.
The Confederates also captured five Fede-
raj flags and over 500 small arms, with
twenty three wagons containing clothing
and camp and garrison equipage.
Forty-six years ago! How wildly that
scene comes trooping up in the memory Of
the few survivors who participated in that
battle! Most of them have long since
passed across the dark river, and in a few
years all will have found eternal rest.
