FIVE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES
Ailshie, Chamberlain, Moore,
Sweetser, McDougall.


Chief Justice James F. Ailshie
of the Idaho supreme court, who
is candidate for reelection on the

ton of being the Youngest chief
justice in the United States.
Mr.. Ailshie was born in Greene

of Scotch ancestry. His great
great grandfather. Stephen Ailshie,
used an old fintlock in one of the
ragged regiments of the American
Revolution. His father, George
Ailshie, although a southern man
and Shareholder, answered Lin
coins first call for volunteers in
the Civil war.
James was reared on a farm,
educated in the country schools
and by teaching and self-help
worked his way through college,
graduating with the degrees
Bachelor of Philosophy and Bache-
lor OF Law. He came to Idaho 20
years ago. He located at Grange
vile in 1901 and began the practice
OF law. He has always been a
Republican. In 1898 he was
president of the state convention;
in 1900 delegate to the national
convention, and for two terms he
served as regent of the state uni
versity. He was first elected a
Justice of the Idaho supreme court
IN 1902 and has given such salts
faction that he has been reelected

are anxious to debate so that the

however, depends on her ability to
hoodwink the people, to spread
falsehoods, make fine promises, and
hide the real issues involved.
Take the tax issue for instance.
C9ur d'Alene boosters" don't
want the people to consider the
question Of taxation at all, yet the
fact is that taxation, not the location
or accessibility Of any town, is the
vital question. In case of removal
the expense of new buildings would
be not less than $l5O,OOO. Bonds
would have to be voted for that
probably more, and the in
terest on the bonds at 6 per cent per
annum would be $4,000, making
S225, 900 in interest alone, if the
bonds were made to mature in rs

they would cost the countyS375, 600,
all of which would have to be paid

BINGHAM CENT. STANDARD
HAS BRAND NEW STRIKE

An excellent vein of high-grade lead
silver ore has been encountered in the
Mountain Maid tunnel in the Bingham
Central-Standard Copper company
property, which adjoins the Bingham
New Haven property, says the Bingham
Bulletin.
According to the statement of Mine Su-
perintendent Frank Taylor, the vein is
from six to seven feet in width and mere
~ drift has been started on il. The
assay returns show that il carries about
. ounces in silver, % per cent lead and
from TO per cent in copper, and at the
present metal market will run as high
as 81, 900 to 81 500 ton.
As the Mountain Maid tunnel runs close
10 the BinSham-New Haven property, IL
Is the general impression that the ore is
an extension of the rich ore body which
yielded the latter company so much
money. Work is still being pushed on the
Jeff Davis tunnel where so much ore has
been taken out recently and which yield
ed such good values. Carloads of this ore
are being shipped regularly to the valley
smelter and the mine at the present time
is said to be in excellent shape.

GREAT STRIDES
At THE YAMPA
Smelter Reducing 800 Tons of
Ore Daily to Blister Cop
per-Mine Is Big.

With every part of the great plant run
ming smoothly and without hitch, the
Yampa Smelling company is now down to
business, and is carrying out the pro-
gram which was laid out some time ago
to the letter. says the Bingham Bulletin.
Whit the installation of the converter
some weeks ago and it's success, prob
ably the most important step in the his
tory of the company was taken The
management is no longer dependent or
any smelter to handle the matte, and
thereby tie the local plant up.
At the present time the smelter is ship
ping car of the blister copper every
two or three days east to the refinery.
AS has been said. this blister copper
which comes from the converter runs as
high as $50 and SO per cent in copper,
and the silver and gold values amount
to approximately 500 a ton. The latest
adjunct is converting the ore without
any hitch, and at the present time the
smelter in all of its various departments
is pounding things on the back as never
before in the history OF the company.
To look back year and half and
investigate what has been done will give
one an idea of the perseverance and eff
ficiency of General Manager c. w. Sax
man. From plant which was scarcely
able to handle 300 tons of ore today, and
with much trouble to the present capacity
of 500 and making 1t one of the most
complete and best equipped smelters in
the country is the record of Mr.. Saxplan
ployed at the smelter now than ever in
the history. and as the improvements go
on and additions are made the force Will
be increased. Since the advent of Mr..
Saxman from the eastern country one
new reverberatory furnace has been built.
a new blast furnace has been installed
and several McDougal furnaces have been
Put into commission. Besides this. the
new tramVay, nearly two miles long, was
erected, and has proven a success. and
lastly, the erection of the converter build
ing and the installation of the COM
preSsor.
Now the mine is furnishing the smelter
with $50 tons of ore a day, over twice
ago. and il will not be long. according
to the statement OF General Superinten-
dent Dick. until the capacity of the plant
will be 900 tons a day. Besides the $50
tons from the mine. the Yampa people
are still taking ore from the United States
properties at Eureka. This latter ton
mage makes the capacity at the present
| time at about 500 tons every twenty-four
hours 1t necessitates also the running
of three reverberatories. nine McDougals
and two blast furnaces, the third being
held in reserve for immediate use in the
event of a hitch or accident In either
of the others.
General Manager c. W. Saxman was in
camp Wednesday, and expressed himself
as being very well pleased with what he
saw The mine was also visited The
tonnage from there can be increased just
as soon as the word is passed. The mine
and the smelter have about 600 or $50 men
on the payrolls. and is well deserving of
| its reputation as being one of the stand

future of the company is very bright.
Two shifts are being worked at the pres

they are coming to the foot wall OF the

sirSus of striking ore at any place, would
rather not strike the footwall at the pres
