The gentleman who announced that

The most brilliant and browning feat
of Sarah's battle with the world was
the deal she made with Schulenbergs

next door to the old red brick in which
she hall roomed. One evening after

CampaiEners Are Busy

Democratic State Chairman, John F.
Nugent, reports that the demand for
speakers is unparalleled in the history of
his experience in Idaho campaigns.
From every nook and corner come re-
quests for Honorable James H. HawIey,
who is now being forced to make two
speeches day wherever such arrange
ment is possible. More than twenty
speakers of statewide acquaintance, in
cIuding such well known campaigners as
NJ. Alexander, K. |. Perky, Mayor j. 7.
Pence, Karl Paine, Frank Martin, F. J.
Dockery, G. W. Tannahil, Reese Hatta-
baugh, d. Worth Clark and Mr.. Nugent,
himself, have volunteered their services
and will make whirlwind finish for the
campaign, invading every county in the
State in behalf of Mr. Hawley and a
united democracy.
In Ada County, during the week, Hon
orable NJ. Alexander, accompanied by
county candidates has spoken in the
larger precincts and the people have
turned out to these meetings in large
numbers. The Democratic spell binders
are appearing nightly upon a grand
stand in the city of Boise at the corner of
9th and Main Streets, addressing open
air meetings and holding the attention of
large crowds. Nothing like the Demo-
cratic enthusiasm in Ada County was
ever known before. Estimates that Judge
Hawley and the other nominees will
carry the county by 1900 are being freely
made by good judges who predict land
slide in this erstwhile stronghold of Re
publicanism.
The Democratic Committee next week
will begin the circulation, in printed
form, of the record of the State Land
Board and of Governor Brady's admins
tration in various other departments,
which will show a condition of affairs
that will be appalling to the honest men
and women of the State.

few matters of private business.
Frederick A. Hagelin, of Caldwell, and
republican nominee for Judge of the

experience as a cigar maker and the fac

Profits in LOw-Grade Mining

The days of wasteful methods of min
ing are about over and all efforts are now
being made to prevent losses as far as is
possible and to cut down costs of opera
tion and ore treatment to the lowest pos
sibIe figure. There are still mines so
rich that even considerable loss from
wasteful methods or other causes would
not mean failure of the enterprises, but
merely smaller profits than might be
made. This is not the rule, however, as
some of our largest and most profitable
mines depend for their profits not on the
richness of the ores, but rather on the
ability to mine, handle and treat the ores,
cheaply. The mining Of low-grade ores
has been made possible by the use Of
modern mechanical appliances for mining
large tonnages of ore rapidly and at a
low cost, and of efficient mechanical and
chemical methods for treating the ore and
recovering the values. 1t is the same as
in any other business where the margin
of profit is small, the most careful meth

THE BANNER.

There is continued activity in the mines
of this company and the past few weeks
have demonstrated more fully than ever
the real mining worth of the property,
than all the former work done on it. 1t
is now being freely predicted by those
well acquainted with the recent showings
that this will be bigger mine than even
its famous neighbor, the Trade Dollar,
ever was. There is no longer any ques-
ton about the reality of this mine. The
ledge is running away up in figures and
the ore bodies are large and again this
week the men cut'into another shoot of
rich ore, the gold in which is plainly Wis
ible to the naked eye and spatterings of
gold are evident on any rock from the
ledge. The development work has been
done Systematically and on an extensive
scale and it is with great pride that we
point forward to the future success of this
company. There has never been bet
ter showing for any mining district in the
county than at present and lively camp
is sure to spring up here during the COM
ing year The present outlook of the
Banner mines indicate it.

Body Of John Turmes Found

The body Of John Turmes, the Owyhee
cattleman who was drowned in the Snake
River week ago last Monday afternoon,
has finally been found. The river at this
point is very treacherous; there are two
large whirlpools near the ford and just be-
low is a series Of rapids, which made the
work of locating the body very difficult
for the searchers.
The following, taken from the Nampa
Leader Herald, is the story of how the
accident happened, as told by one of the
eye witnesses:
Turmes, assisted by his brother, Wen
eel Turmes, aud Orville Smith, Jack
Donnely, George Duval, Jr., Harry
Thomas and George Crocheron, was
bringing herd of $50 head of cattle to
Nampa, part Of the cattle belonging to
Turmes and part to George Duval. The
ford where the cattle were driven into the
Snake has been used for years for crossing,
but has always been regarded dangerous
on account of the deep water, rocks and
rapids near it. The ford is at the mouth
of Rabbit creek The cattle had crossed
in safety when Turmes, with Duval,
Smith and the others, started to follow.
They apparently missed the ford, for
they were soon in deep water where their
horses were forced to. swim. George Du-
val got out safely by getting off his horse
and holding to the animals tail while it
swan out Orville Smith was in danger
of drowning, but was rescued with boat.
George Crocheron saw John Turmes
when his horse struck the deep water; he
went under with the animal, the horse
seeming TO pass clear over him. Turmes
then started to swim to shore. He was
known as good swimmer, and it was
thought that he was in no danger, al
though he was in bad place in the river
When within short distance Of the bank
Turmes threw up his hands and called
for the boat. Itwas too late for anyone
to reach him, and after second or two
he went under water, and another good
man was added to the long list Of victims
of the treacherous currents of the Snake
river.
1t is thought that Turmes was stricken
with cramp from the effects of the cold
water Another theory is that when he
went nnder the first time be was injured
in some way by the horse.
John Turmes was we'll known in this
section of the country. He had been in
the cattle business for many years, and
was resident of Owyhee county for close
to thirty years. He was unmarried, liv-
ing with his mother and two brothers
on ranch on the Shoe Fly. Two sisters
and brother reside at Bruneau and an
other sister at Weiser.

ods must be followed in all departments.
Close checks must be kept on the working
of the various operations and processes
involved. All wastes must be stopped and
efficiency carried to its highest possible
point.
Mining and metallurgical methods have
made rapid strides in recent years and
some astonishing results have been at
tanned. Perfection is, howe yer, goal
not yet reached and may never be, but it
will be more closely approached, and must
be, as the mining and treatment of still
lower grades of ore becomes necessary.
This constant effort to increase efficiency
of operation means that constant atten-
ton must be given to experimenting, and
to the improvement of apparatus and
methods.
The business end of mining of low
grade ores requires most careful manage
ment. Costs must be closely watched and
leaks and wastes detected and stopped.
It is only by cooperation of able business
and technical management that success
can be had Mining World.
