Lillian Nordica have placer claims.
lAll local people know that min

years trying to capture the rich gold

land all they have done is to concen-
trate 1t, that is, get all the very fine
heavy sand and the gold together,
and then they fail to get the gold
separated from the fine sand, the
platinum, the iron and other heavy
matter that is associated with 1t and
llinseparable by any means they have
vet used. They can extract the coarse
particles, but the greater percentage
of gold is very fine and permeates the
very body of the infinitely small par
ticles of sand. The problem of how
to separate the gold from the dross
has kept experimenters poor for as
long time as Cyrus Field was ex-
perimenting with the Atlantic cable,
SO when we found ourselves at the
placer mine, we wondered what new
idea had come into camp to cause
/ them to put up the new building with

and other matter unaffected by the
chemicals. The dripping process "a

shavings. The zinc absorbs the gold
until 1t becomes loaded, and when II
reaches this condition, 1t is dried and
subjected to some other chemical that
attacks the zinc and absorbs 1t, leav-
ing the gold. Thus, by the two chem.
ical processes, they are able to take

carrying general merchandise, one
hardware store, one blacksmith shop,
one bank building nearly completed,
one real estate Office nearly comple-
| ted, one lumber yard doing business,
one drug store engaged to come, and
about two dozen residences finished
or in course of construction.
Outside of the tOwnsite the coun~
TRY is dotted with innumerable houses
and shanties costing any sum from
800 to 5000. Grain fields general

land some 500 or 500 acres. To the
westward and southwest are the still
larger dry farms where steam pl0ws
operate all summer, and steam
threshers hum all fall. .
We stopped at the Hamilton Mer-
camille establishment managed by M.
| L. Haines whose good wife won the
Republican prize offered to the best
out -of-town reporter, the prize being
a trip to the Seattle Exposition which
she will take In July. Mrs. Haines
was waiting on customers, and we
soon had feast of canned goods and
lc1ackers on the counter. Mrs. HaineS
iappolized for not having hotel In
town, but said everybody was too
bus. to start a hotel, and visitors
would just have to make the best OF
lit until somebody came along willing
to open one. Building railroad and
buying city lots was the chief sub
ject of talk around the store, and
all customers came and went in a
hurry. AT one o'clock we were on
the way back, and near Varney we
stopped nearly three hours looking
over Jones farm, helping crew of
men and horses to move house, and
closed the scene with lively run
away Of span of horses, and the au-
tomobile did not start the horses nor
get scared and stampede when they
swept by with whippletrees flying in

COMMERCIAL CLUB MET.

There was a good meeting OF the
Commercial club on Tuesday even
ing, and everybody seemed to enjoy
It. There were several visitors, one
being G. D. Brown Of Caicago, and
another Superintendent Armstrong OF
the Montana Division of the Short
Line who was In town making a tour
OF his division.
Rev. Edwards gave q very interest
Ing account Of his recent trip to North
Idaho, and recounted some OF the
incidents that came to his notice con-
cerntng the Diamond Jubilee. He
showed that people are much inter-
ested In It outside OF Blackfoot, and

half an hour on the road. At the

GrOseclOse farm man ran, out and
got on. Another man ran out to GO
along, and then Jones said, I'll come
down again in a day or two and take
both of you out and show you all
around, so they agreed to wait.
Groseclose had just sold his farm for
better than nine thousand dollars,
and said that it was on Jones advice
that he had bought the land, on Jones
offer that he had sold it at good
profit, and Jones was the man he
wanted to ride out with again to look
for another piece.
At Springfield we crossed the dam
that forms the lower end Of the reser-
voir. Jones explained that the new
railroad will come down the hollow
from the east. cross the creek Just
below the reservoir, and pass along
the bench above Boone creek. We
turned off to the westward to the Big
Levees and the Three Falls where the
canal divides, one branch crossing q
valley by means Of fill 100 feet
long and 80 feet high, while the other
branch is let down by three drops Of
ten feet each, to the -Lowline canal.
A solid race OF lava rock extended
from the divide down through the
falls to where the water becomes
placid again. Magnificent! said
Rich as he looked it. Lots of power
in those falls when they get ready
to harness it."
At Colborn's farm Mr.. Colborn got
out, and invited us to stop for dinner,
but it was early for dinner. Jones
explained that he is promoting a
scheme to get telephone line from
Blackfoot to Aberdeen, and asked
Colborn how much stock he would
take in it. Colborn replied that he
wanted to invest $4,000 In it, and
was ready any time. That's goq.i
enough said Jones. I'VE want to
divide 1t up among the local people,
and we will list you for five hundred
A little discussion as to roads and
we went back half mile to get a
road leading over the hills, we soon
struck high dyke across the road
and landed the car with pan on the
dyke and wheels in the air. The two
takers and the silent man got out,
and then there was some pushee,
some pullee, some digee, and the car
go all lightee." A settlers camp
loomed up by the roadside, the family
inside the wagon and the man sitting
on the wagon tongue. We pulled q
copy Of the Republican from the
bag, placed Diamond Jubilee folder
on it, snapped two rubber bands
around them and fired them into the

INSPECT BEFORE SHIPPING

John Burnett came down from Ar
co Saturday with shipment or hogs
which he was taking into Montana,
after loading them he learned that d
new regulation governing such ship
ments required that he have them In
spected before leaving the state, and
that he also give five days notice
before entering the state into which
ne was shipping. This made 1t neces-
sary for him to unload again and wait
for an inspector to come.
