In The mp---0n Averages Close to Twenty Dollars to the Ton
Large Ledge Of That Class Of Ore

That the Buffalo Hump is the
greatest mineralized district in
Idaho if not in the entire west
has always been the contention Of
the great mass of mining men who
have visited that section from
time to time. 1t has long been
known that when Sweeny shut
down the Big Buffalo, the richest
kind of values were being taken
from the property and it was
simply to give the country a
tenn porary set back and cause the
small holders to sell their claims
at d sacrifice. This game has been
kept up for years past until the
nterests of those who were loud
est in decrying the country were
for reed to admit the truth and
come back in the district

Two Insane

WO insane
Two cases of insanity were up
for investigation in Judge Fulton's
court last Saturday and both were
ordered committed to the asylum
at Orofno The first case to be ex-
amined was that of Jack Spot, IA
blacksmith who came to this
section this spring and for some
time was employed in the Jackson
shop of this city where he worked
until June when he left for the
mountains. 1t seems he wandered
around until he reached the
vicinity of the Wind river
where he became lost and after
three weeks he was discovered by
the Forest reserve men who not
ing his mental condition, brought
him out to the county seat.
The other was the case of
William Kennison, a man of sixty
some years of age who ranches
across the river from Kamiah.
1t seems Mr.. Kennison, who at
one time was preacher, has lost
his mind over religion and now
imagines he is a prophet. He
stated to the court that thrice
during his life he had been visited
by the Master. That he was man
larger than the Judge and one
was apt to be frightened at his
appearance. The man was in
very bad mental condition and
just at the stage when sometime
he would imagine he was directed
by the Lord and commit some
terrible crime. He has been more
than an ordinary man, being a
large railroad contractor during
his early life and was also one of
the soldiers who acted as White
House guard during the stirring
times of our civil conflict. The
court committed him to Orofino
for treatment.

day occupied most of the day and

ing him over to the District Court

A number of witnesses were in
troduced by the state and but three
by the defense. The courtroom
was filled with a great crowd of
people during the proceedings but
perfect order was maintained and
at no time was there any attempt
made to do violence to the prisoner,
