BUILT LIKE BRIDGE

One of the most clever ideas in the
bracing of bicycle frames. ever known
has been brought into use by the Iver-
Johnson people, in their late models.
Instead of the old way, (Which is used
in most bicycles) having the frame
consist of only four pieces, the liver
Johnson wheel has an extra curved
brace or bridge, between the two up
right bars of the frame. This not
only strengthens the frame and makes
it more rigid, but ads much to the
symetricaI beauty of the wheel.
The late models of this bicycle are
on exhibition at the u. S. Cycle COM

has ever been in the Elk camp than
Mr.. Espey, and that he had to part
with bonanza was source of regret

prospects for legitimate mining and
legitimate investment along those lines.

Lewiston Newspaper Sings Praise
of Elk City Mining District.
SOUTH FORK A WONDER
Will Give District Good Name
in the East.

Alfred Adams Jr., of Atlantic City,
N. j., the principal owner in the South
Fork mine in the Elk district, was in
the city yesterday en- route to his prop
erty, says the Lewiston Morning TTib-
une. This mine is better known as the
Espey and even in the initial stages of
its development was classed by many
mining men who had inspected the
ground as being a bonanza, one COM
ment referring to it as the richest
property in Idaho. Mr. Adams and his
associates, with Frank Peck as the
energetic manager, have seemed within
short time to clearly establish the
fact that the early opinions expressed
by mining men We're based upon sound
judgment.
The new owners have also established
a record in mining in this part of the
west by taking this crudely equipped
and crudely developed prospect and
within II months placing it in the pro-
ducing class, the returns being of a
class which appear TO assure a bonanza
future for the mine. The mine is now
turning off bullion and information from
a source. the reliability Of which can
not be questioned, is that the ore is
running $50 TO the ton on the plates.
More remarkable still is the informa-
ton that when the new mill was started
up the first run was made from the tail
ings Of the crude plant that Mr.. Espey
had used in operating the property ON
a small scale and these tailings Tee
turned $50 a ton. The concentrates
from such ore must necessarily give
high returns, but no figures are avail
able along that line. However, it is
learned that Mr. Adams contemplates
additions 10 the concentrating equip
ment that viii triple the capacity g

IN Elk This Winter,
BUSINESS BLOCKS, RESIDENCES

Doubled in a Year.

Building operations in Elk City have
received a wonderful impetus the past
ten days, partly due to winter coming
on, but more because the Buster Min
ing company has shown unbounded
faith in central Idaho mines, by taking
hold of other properties. A number
who had intended building during the
summer were just waiting. The words
from F. w. Bradley, the mining engi-
neer, in regard to the Buster mine, dis
sipated all fears, and it is a conserva-
tive statement to say that within the
next twelve months the number Of resi-
dences and business houses in Elk City
will be more than doubled. Many Of
the plans are yet in formative state.
A number have started building and
others viii begin shortly.

YOU think, especially when there are

This strange tree grows in nearly

the leaf there is a sharp thorn,
which is the needle. If you grasp
it firmly and pull it out long
thread of fiber comes with it. and
there you are-with a needle al
ready threaded for your sCEiag. TIE
fiber thread is very strong, and the
Mexicans use it for weaving a
coarse kind of cloth as well as for
sewing. The leaves Of the tree the
