will admit that the interests of Bradley,
Mackenzie and their associates in the
district, and the excellent showing in
their Buster property have contributed
most to the cause. There are num-
Der of prospects that have developed
into good showings the past year, and
the gold district is attracting capital
that usually seeks investment in the
mines during periods of financial depres-
sion, when investment In stocks is
dangerous to the principal and returns
are very much in doubt. The transpor-
tation problem, the greatest of all our
troubles, offers US hope. Heretofore
the Northern Pacific has held, and even
now holds full control over transporta-
ton in central Idaho. There has not
been enough competition to compel the
company to branch out and extend the
road to places that are held back and
retarded in growth only because of lack
of that which one company alone could
give. The future offers solution to the
problem. The permanent survey made
last year for the O. R. & N. along the
Middle Fork of the Clearwater river
revives the fight between that company
and the Northern Pacific; the electric
company has surveyed into Grangeville,
and there is no end to rumors of other
roads coming to this territory, one or
two of which may prove to be more
than rumors.
With all these things, present and
why should we not expect
this year to be by far the best in the
history of mining in central Idaho.

There are the best of indications that
the gold mine districts in this part of
Idaho are going to take long strides
forward the present year. Before an
other twelve months have passed a
number of the old camps that for many
years were big producers of placer gold
will, in all probability, be equally as
prominent as quartz gold producers.
From Florence, Warrens, Ramey Ridge,
Thunder Mountain and Marshall Lake
districts, all south of the Salmon river,
come very good reports, while the pro-
gress and showings made the past year
in Buffalo Hump, Newsome, Orogrande,
Dixie and Elk City are so well known
that they are given preferred space, and
lots of it, by the daily press and mining
journals, and are an important subject
in conversation in mining circles in the
northwest.
No county in Idaho at the present
time occupies so prominent a position
among big mining men as Idaho county
does, and it is no doubt true that there
is no one mining district outside the ex-
cited mining camps, so called, in Ne
vada, that will entertain more strang-
ers and interest more capital this year
than Elk City will. This may appear
as exaggeration at first thought, but
there are facts to warrant the state
ment. Three stamp mills are in pros
pect at this time, and one running now
will have five stamps added before the
first of July. More quartz properties
are under bond right now than at any
other time in the history of the camp,
and work will be started on most of
them as soon as the snow is off so the
engineers can determine how and where
to do the work. This will be great
year for the placer miners. An ele-
vator will be installed on one property,
and there is more than probability
that dredge will be put on Elk creek
by company now operating in quartz.
In addition to real mining there are two
power sites, one in Elk district and the
other in Orogrande district, that may
get machinery equipment during the
year.
No one condition has given this dis
trict the prominence in mining circles
it has so suddenly acquired, though all

When the lamp is shattered
The light in the dust lies dead
When the cloud is scattered
The rainbow's glory is shed.
When the lutte is broken
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken
Loved accents are soon forgot.
AS music and splendor
Survive not the lamp and the lutte,
The hearts echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute
No song but sad dirges,
Like the wind through ruined cell,
Or the mournful surges
That rings the dead seaman s knell.
When hearts have once mingled
Love first leaves the well-built nest;
The weak one is singled
To endure what it once possessed.
0 Love! who bewailest
The frailty of all things here,
Why choose you the frailest
For your cradle, your home and your
bier?
Its passions will rock thee
AS the storms rock the ravens on high;
Bright reason will mock thee
Like the sun from wintry sky.
From thy nest every rafter
Will rot, and thine eagle home
Leave the naked to laughter,
When leaves fall and cold winds come.
Shelley.

Mistitch laughed, and in an instant
the prince sprang at him. Sophy heard
the blades meet. Strong as death was
the fascination for her eyes-aye, for
her ears, too, for she heard the quick
moving feet and the quicker breathing
OF q mortal combat. But she would not
look-she tried not even to listen. Her
eyes were for a man she could not see,
her ears for a man she could not hear.
She remembered the lean fellow hid

window. She dared not call to warn

The street grew empty. the glare OF the
Nominations was quenched. But OF
all this Sophy saw nothing. She had
sunk down in her chair by the window
and lay there. save for her tumultuous
breathing, still as death.
The commandant had no fear and
would have his way. He stood alone
now in the street. looking from the

Sound in our dreaming ears.
And, bark, the battle thunders swell
Across the gulf Of years!
How strange, how swift, The after days!
Spring after spring goes by;
Voices Of sorrow and Of praise
In iessenins murmurs die;
The ranks are thinned, their work long
done,
The stately heads grown white,
And brave old comrades one by one
Pass out beyond our sight.
