Elk City and Adjoining Camps
Have Ore at Spokane.
BOOSTS IDAHO COUNTY MINES
Interstate Fair Display Repre-
Sc nts 200 Claims.

The fol owing item taken from
Spokane paper indicates there is some
excellent publicity work being done
by the people of Elk City and sur
rounding camps towards interesting
the outsiders in the mines of this
section:
"Thomas Mcdonald, popular son of
Central Idaho, has arrived in town
on load Of ore, and is sitting tight
on it for il represents some Of the
richest and some of the best that has
been dug in that gold-lined field.
The lot Is consigned to the mineral
department of the Interstate Fair, and
when laid out in order next week will
represent perhaps 200 lode and placer
mines throughout the Ten Mile, Elk
City, Orc Grande, Dixie, Buffalo
Hump and other districts within an
area so miles long by 10 miles wide.
Mr.. Mcdonald is arranging with L.
X. Armstrong, head of the mineral
department, for the position which the
exhibit will occupy.
In addition to the display, Mr.. Nc
Donald will give practical demonstra-
tions of placer mining, in which he
cannot be beaten, by the testimony of
the Elk City colony, grown large in
this community.
Great! responded Mr.. Mcdonald
with gusto when asked for brief in
teryiew on the conditions at camp.
When little more latitude was Of
fered, he said:
"rhe South Fork has two years
ore ahead, the Center Star has struck
a big body of ore, the American Eagle
is yielding bullion on the plates, the
Gilt Edge shows good ore and the
Gold Bug is the scene of a strike that
concerns a body 16 feet wide. Har-
mon and Morrow have struck the
ledge by a crosscut exposing ore and
showing that the body followed during
the Bradley incumbency was strin-
ger.
"Ore has been opened in many
parts Of the field during recent months
by prospe ectors and corporations,
several properties have been bonded,
and others are being negotiated for.
Some Of the very best proprieties of
the field have not been discovered by
intending buyers, although they shine
with the ustre Of Il September sun.
Minerlike work is being done on many
properties and large forces are en-
ployed. This kind of development is
providing some grand examples of
what can be done in this belt, with u
liberal expenditure of industry and a
modest sum Of money

Grand Jury Finds Thirteen
True Bills.
NO ARRESTS MADE AS YET
Grangeville, Fem and Elk City
Men Indicted.

After session of two days and a
week, the first grand jury that has
been called in Idaho county during
the past sixteen years, completed its
labors Tuesday and returned thirteen
true bills, truly an unlucky number
for someone.
While the officers are maintaing
the greatest secrecy it is current
street rumor that two Grangeville
parties have been inditced on three or
four counts each for violation of the
local option law.
A real estate man in Fem, it is
said has taken French leave, suspect
ing that the officers would be after
him and that the grand jury found
several charges against him for selling
wet goods.
Alva Fields of Elk City is said to
have been indicted for assaulting Os-
car Nelson with deadly weapon.
Up to the present time no arrests
have been made but it is expected
that warrants will be sworn out short
ly and those indicted taken in charge.
In the report made, the grand jury
denounced the county Jail as dis
grace to Idano county and recommend
ed that immediate steps be taken to
erect modern Jail OH property owned
by the county. The Jail was condem-
ned on the grounds of being unfit for
prisoners, unsanitary, unsafe for Off
GERS and not properly constructed for
the confinement Of dangerous prisoners.
The grand jury recommended that
the present county poor farm be re-
constructed and be made sanitary,
that new bedding be secured and
more attention to. the orchard given.
The report states no complaints were
received from inmates and the admin
istration of Superintendent John
Byers was endorsed, it being explained
that he was doing all possible with the
equipment furnished.
The report concludes by stating that
but hasty examination was given
the county offices and another grand
Jury is recommended as soon as the
district court is convened again, it be-
ing explained that a number Of i'm.
portant matters were brought to the
attention Of the grand jury that should
have been investigated, but the time
available did not permit other matters
being taken up. Judge Steele was
commended in his act for calling the
grand jury and County AttorneyJ. NJ
Gilmore for the efficient services rem
! dered during the session.

BALTIMORE THEATRES.
THE AMERICAN IDEA AT FoRp's.

THE AMERICAN IDEA AT FORD'S.
The Parsian-American Girl Show,
"The American Idea" George M.
Cohan's glittering success, headed by
Americas representative Coincidence,
Trixie Friganza, and an excellent sup
porting company of seventy-hve, comes
to Ford's for return engagement of one
week, commencing Monday evening. with
the usual matinees. The play is a mix
ture of ingredients rather uncommon of
its kind. There is a flavor of melodrama,
touches of heart interest, pattering jing-
ling tunes, general liveliness, and the
semblance of everyday life touching on
the international marriage craze. George
M. Cohan is responsible for the book and
music, and the piece is produced under
his personal direction, which is an assur-
ance that the event will be one of the
theatrical seasons best offerings.

precisely as it was rendered in the New
Theatre, in New York. Matinees as
usual on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Charity Organize atoms Report.

The charity organization met in regular
session in the Mayors office, on March
9Th, Rev. DIR. Thomas Freeman Dixon,
president. in the chair. The report of the
seasons work up-to date is as follows
Families assisted. I42; grants made, 600;
amount expended in relief work, $685. 5
Quite small amount remains in the
treasury for remainder of this season
which will probably run one month lon
ger. The association deserves to be COM
mended for the manner in which they re-
leved distress in our city during the
severe weather this winter, and visited
many deserving families, affordlng relief
to the sick and those in want. They de-
sire to call attention to two important
matters reported to the organization and
their aid was asked
The first was the case of woman in
our city who has incipient consumption
atorium. This woman is widow and
must be the support of her family. She
is willing to 60, if place can be obtained
for six months for her baby. who is one
/ year old. The society decided to give
this information to the public and request
anyone who may know where such a
boarding place can be found to notify
Miss Nellie M. Casey, Visiting Tubercu-
osis Nurse, 2Io East Second street.
The second case was that of man who
was collecting money from door to door
claiming that it was for the assistance Of
sick child of Harvey Smith. A member
of the society interviewed Mr.. Smith, who
Indignantly denied that he had authorized
anyone to make any such appeal. The
society therefore warns the public against
this imposter and repeats its oft-given adj
vice, "Never give money at the door, !"
unless the person is fully known. Any
such case, If reported, will be cheerfully
and carefully investigated by the society
The society also received reports Of the
Friendly Visiting Institute at the last
meeting which were very encouraging for
the future of this branch of the work.

tween rs, 900 and 100, ooo should be gov

Deems Local Option a Failure.

A dispatch from Chicago, dated March
10th, says: Samuel Gompers, President
of the American Federation of Labor,
refused recently an invitation to speak
for the local option cause.
In explaining his reason, Mr. Gompers
said that the experience of most cities
has shown prohibition to be failure.
81 could not consent to indorse local
option" said Mr.. Gompers, because
| am not in sympathy with the move
ment. Proper regulation of the liquor
traffic is much more effective than the
abolishmsnt of the saloon under the local
option or prohibition laws. Experience
in the cities both in the United States
and other countries has shown this. ,
There is not city in Maine where a
stranger cannot 60 and buy all of the
beer and whiskey that he wants. There
is no attempt whatever to-. disguise the
fact that these places are being operated
in violation of the law"
