There has been very little new money
brought into IGaho during the past
year for new mining development, and.
while the principal old producers have
continued in steady and successful op-

been very little new blood or enthu-

An important discovery of high-gradc
lead-silver ore was recorded during the
summer OF Bellevue. Idaho, in the
Wood river district. where shipping
values Of 60 per cent lead and 120
onnces of silver per ton were found
in an ore body OF considerable length
and width on one of the old claims
that has been carried by assessment
for number OF years. near the Minnie
Moore.
New railroad construction towards
the upper Lcmhi lcad-silver belt has
attracted some attention to that sec
tlon, which embraces very extensive
area OF lcad-silver and copper bearing
formations. with an important past
history Of production. and is well
worthy OF the attention OF mining de-
vclopment capital.
COAL MINING
The progress of the coal mining de-
veopment of this state, during the
year just closed. mas been rather slow
on account of the abundant supply of
fuel from the Wyoming mines. The
rapidly advancing progress of general
industrial conditions over the country
and the consequent glut of freight
traffic on the railroads is having its
effect on the coal haulage at this date,
with the result that supplies are not
so easily obtained, and this condition
Will doubtless result in more attention
being given to the development of To-
cal deposits. with view OF permanent
relief.
At the Fremont county mines. near
st. Anthony, the Brown Bear company
is the only coal mining enterprise
which has continued In operation with
a light crew on development and pro-
duction, This property carries a SER

veloped to n depth of 200 feet by a
cross-cut tunnel with entries driven
north and south on the vein for sew
eral hundred feet, and n large supply
of clean highgrade coal is undercut.

IN SHOSHONE COUNTY.
In the Shoshone county field the
splendid new mill of the Hercules Min
ing company WAS destroyed by fire
during the summer. but the mine has
continued a good production of crude
shipping ore. for which 1t has always
been noted. and the old mill of tho
Tiger Poorman property at Burke has
been leased to take care OF the milling
product of the mine. as 1t is conven-
icntly situated to and can be connected

moter OF the daylight saving bill now
before the house of commons is anxious
to interest America in the measure. with
the object OF avoiding any interference
with commercial interchange in the
event of the bills becoming law in this
country.
Roughly the provisions tf the bill are
that the clock shall be put back one
hour III summer to enable everybody to
ENJOY the extra allowance of sunshine
The bill has passed it's second reading
IN the commons and is now awaiting the
report OF committee of experts before
its third reading can be taken
Mr.. Willett has had several interviews
with Ambassador Reid on the subject
with the result that he is mailing by to-
days steamer circular letter TO all
members of congress. inclosng also lit
erature fully descriptive of the scheme.
He states that the select committee of
the house of commons fnus that g
effect of the bill will be to benefit the
general physique, health and welfare of
all classes of the community and to re-
duce the expenditure on artificial light.
He adds: THE effect of the bill when
passed will be TO make six hours DIFF
terence between London and New York
/. This, l understand. will be p-ejudicial TO
the interests of those on both sides Of
the Atlantic whose business lies either
with the stock exchange or cotton mar
ket.

over here the markets in both countries
would open nominally at the same hour
as they do now and the trains would ar
rive and depart at the same rominal
hours as they do now, with this differ
ence, that in the morning the passen-
gers would travel in cooler atmos-
phere. while in the evening they would
enjoy another hour Of daylight
Resolutions in favor of the bill have
of commerce. twenty-seven town coun-
ellis and other corporations and fifty So
cieties, and associations. Daylight saw
ing bills have been introduced into the
legislatures of New Zealand and Vic

assembly of New South Wales is al III
to introduce a bill there"
That the matter is interesting New

The Kings Clogg.

From the Saturday Review.
The kings clogg'' is rather plctur-
esque phrase; ii has something medieval
about it. We have looked through all
the judgments given in the case of Adair
vs.. the New River Company. Limited,
and the metropolitan water board by
the court OF appeal to see if ii has any
special historic association with the
king. But really il seems to mean moth
ing more than what we mean nowadays
by all incumbrance or rent charge. Law
yers still speak of "a property being
cloSged by charges and membranes.
And the dictionaries speak of clogg or
clog as anything that obstructS.
Charles I conveyed the crowns shares
in the New River Company, known as
1.-The kings moiety" in 1851 to trustees.
and Sir Hugh Myddleton covenanted to
pay $500 year forever, and the benefit
of this covenant passed from one to an
other until the plaintiff obtained the
benefit of it. This is the kings clogg.
When the water board succeeded to the
New River Company it became a ques-
ton whether the board or the stock
held by the New River Company is liza
BILE for the clogg. The decision of the ap-
peal court is that the clogg must be pro-
vided for out of the water fund and not
out of the New River Company stock.

Ancient Luxury in Rome.
From the Atchisuu Globe.

From the AtCHIsou 'IioDc
According TO Guiglielmo Eerrero, the
italian historian, the luxury of Rome.
which older historians tell us sent that
once effuIgent nation TO decay, could not
be compared to the luxury to be found
in the modern city. The eating places
of old Rome were dingy holes compared
with the modern New York restaurant,
and Roman waste and profusion were
niggardly when compared with the way
the dweIlers of the light side of mod
ern city spend their money and waste
their substance. The richest Roman
missed many of the luXuries of modern
times now regarded almost as necessi-
ties He had no electric lights, not even
kerosene or gas There Were no auto
mobiles or steam. yachts. But the an
cient Roman managed TO eat too much.
and drink too much, and loaf TOO much,
which are the real dangers of luxury.
The trimmings and the setting are less
important 1t is those old vices which
should be avoided more than eXtrava-
gance of fine raiment Or gold dishes,
such as Rome never knew. The luxury
toboggan may travel faster than IL used
to. or not SO fast, but 1t is evident that
il is still headed in the same direction.

His Hard Luck.
From the Atchison Globe.

From the AtchisOn Globe.
An Atchison man has had a piece OF
bad luck. His Son-in-law has grown
rich. and his daughter has had hardwood
floors put in. which she keeps highly
polished to match her husbands income
The Old gentleman formerly found the
great JOY of his life in going TO see his
daughter and playing with the grand
children, but now that the floors are
polished he regards every approaching
visit with terror; his knees tremble in
fear. and he has chilis and fever all tie
time he is there. Christmas day he did
not go near the house, but sat at home
and mourned. Whenever he would think
of former Chrstmases with the children
he would get up and look for his coat.
when suddenly he would remember the
hardwood floors. and d sickening fear
would send him trembling back 10 his
chair.

Japan's Good Roads.
From the London Chronicle.

EUH
Japan is peculiarly we'll off in respect
OF good highways. The Tokaido. which
runs from Kioto to Toxic. is over 31
miles in length. and. as the writer can
testify. is admirably constructed. There
is also the Nakasendo, which is even long
er and passes through some of the finest
scenery In the world The reason OF
Japans excellence in the matter of roads
is that In the old days-not so very long
ago-the daimos. or territorial mobiles,
had to journey TO Toxic once a year in
order to pay their respects 10 the SOW
ereign. They travelled by road. with great
retinues, and if the highways were not in
perfect condition feudai justice was met
ed out to the delinquents.

There are a great many persons who
are victims of what is known as in
testinal indigestion. disease which is
due to the fact that the starchy foods
are either partially digested or not dl-
gested at all, and the result of this
trouble may be either an obstinate con-
stipation or persistent diarrhoea.
This inability to digest starch is
called .amylaceous dyspepsia" a dis
ease which is much in evidence Ameri-
cans are notoriously poor digesters of
starch. and as starchy foods. such as
potatoes. rice, bread. etc, are digested
entirely in the small intestine. and not
in the stomach proper. as is generally
supposed. it can be readily seen how
intestinal indigestion will usually pro-
duce diarrhoea-
In the small intestine the pancreatic

the power of converting them into
grape sugar and dextrine. Starch must
be so transformed before it can be of
use to the animal being. Remaining
as unchanged starch. it either passes
through the alimentary canal. and
