Another happy family circle
has been broken and many hearts
are bowed in sorrow, for r.. G.
MORGAN the beloved husband.
father, friend, and valued citi-
zen, is dead. The familiar form,
the genial smile. and the gene

word for all humanity, will be

The writer has known Mr..
Morgan for many years and an

would add this tribute of love to
his memory.
He was gallant soldier of the
Lost Cause, a member of the
34th Regiment, 1st Mississippi
Cavalry, and served until the
close of the war. His early life
was spent in Marshall county and
many of his old home friends will
drop tear to his memory. The
Lord had blessed him in his fami-
ly circle; he lived to see twelve
children reach the age of matu-
rity, who by their love and de-
vouon made sunshine and han.
piness in his life. He was al.
ways thoughtful of others even
the little children all knew and
loved him because of his kindly

materially to her future prosperity.
Within one mile of Bellevue is
located the famous Minnie Moore
camp, which up to date has produced
approximately $4,000, 900. This
mine and the Queen of the Hills,
another large producer, the Relief,
Michigan and other adjacent proper
ties, are now controlled by the Idaho
Consolidated Mining company and
operated as one group. The company
during the past two years has oper-
ated three new mills on tailings from

augmented by the erection by the
business men of the town of a roomy
and substantially built cutting-out
and branding corral with complete
water system in all of. the pens.
The horse industry is also very
carefully attended to in this section
and while the local demand has been
such that comparatively no ship
ments have been made of any conse-
quence during the last few years, still
in years past many cars of horses
were shipped to eastern markets from
this point. The farmers are now
disposed to improve the quality of
their horses by the importation of
blooded stock and in few years the
quality of the horses will equal that
of the cattle and sheep already
shipped from this section.
There are located near Bellevue
some of the most noted and meritor-
ious focks belonging to Laidlow, at
the head of which are some of the
proudest ribbon wearers of Canadian
and English exhibitions. There is
also the celebrated flock of Lincolns
belonging to Ex-Governor Gooding
that are justly celebrated far beyond
the confines of the state
The stock industry is of such great

Several new industries have been
established during the past year, no
tably among which is the large stor-
age warehouse recently erected by
Coats & proctor. The building is so
by 126 feet and contains a modern
ice plant and cold storage and refrig-
Grating boxes for the storing of but
ter, eggs and meat, while the other
part of the building is used to store
hay, grain, potatoes, wool, etc. The
proprietors of this industry are pay
ing cash to the ranchers for their pro-
duce, which makes a market here at
all times for the product of the farm.
The local production is not sufficient
to supply the demand and butter and
eggs are being shipped from other
parts of the state. A large quantity
of eggs have been shipped here from
the vicinity of Idaho Falls, st. An
thony and Rexburg for storage. The
enterprise of these gentlemen Is not
only proving beneficial to this
locality, but it is a benefit to the
southern part of the state. Besides

Two miles south Of Bellevue, in
Lees Gulch, is located the Hillside,
developed to the depth of $50 feet,
with a large tonnage of shipping ore
exposed.
Immediately above it are located
the Bonanza King and Joe Garrison,
which in the early days shipped some
phenomenally rich silver ore. Fiji
teen hundred feet west of these
claims M. H. Williams struck the
large body of ore last fall on the
Early Morning. Mr.. Williams and
his partners have installed a within
hoist and the shaft is now down
about 100 feet, showing continuous
ore, much of which is sacked for
shipment as it comes from the mine.
In addition much second class ore is
piled up on the dump awaiting con-
centration.
About two and half miles west
of Bellevue are the Copper King and
Maggie May, operated by the Weber
Mining Company, of which Frank
Weber of Bellevue is the principal
owner. This property is incorpor-
ated for 100000 with the prin-
cipal Office in Alkaline, Kans., where
many of the stockholders reside. It
has been developed to depth OF 100
feet and in that distance has pro-
duced considerable ore assaying 20
per cent copper with high values in
silver. Specimens of fine sulphide
ore weighing 40 and so pounds, are
on exhibition at his place of business
on Main street, attest to the richness
and size Of the various ore bodies In
this property.
On the east side of the river and
below the city of Bellevue are To-
Gated the Monday, Queen Victoria
and the Pacific Tunnel Co. The
Queen Victoria is credited with a
shipment that assayed 1900 ounces
in silver
The Hidden Treasure, further
down the mountain and about two
miles south of town, has been oper-
ated for the last two years under the
management of Arthur B. Menkin,
who came out from Baltimore to
open up the property. Four or five
men have been employed constantly
and several shipments of high grade
ore have been made.

STOCK RAISING

Wood River lambs are regarded as
being among the very choicest of
range lambs received in any of the
great markets of the country, and
probably no other section can COM
pete with them in any degree, except
it be the Teton Basin and very linn
tied portion of the state of Washing
ton. The average annual shipments
of sheep and lambs from the Wood
River country amounts to approx
mately 1900 cars per year, while
the amount of wool annually shipped
will approximate $50 cars, which, at
the prices at which wool has been
selling brings to this section from
100000 to $1,500,00O. This, cou-
pied with the livestock receipts for
sheep, brings from the sheep industry
alone not less than $3,o0O,0O0 to 3d.
10000 each year. The cattle. while
not SO numerous as the sheep, are
still a very important item. The
average annual shipment of cattle
from this section is from 400 to 500
cars per year, which will easily add
another half million to the sum total.
Bellevue has been favored with a
very large proportion of the ship
ments.
In fact on the cattle it has prob
ably shipped four out of every five
carload shipped from the Wood River
country. On the shipment of sheep
the amount will average from 500 to
600 cars per year. Bellevue has one
of the best stockyards on the Oregon
Short Line system, which have been

nearer the surface and filed on a small
tract of Uncle Sans domain. They
found that the land was very produc-
tive and they prospered with very
little effort and were content. Many
Of the early settlers have added to
their holdings from time to time
until now there are many ranches in
the valley which embrace from 600
to 1000 acres, notably among which
is the Arthur Brown ranch of about
5000 acres. and which passed into
the hands of a coterie of Salt Lake
capitalists after the death of Senator
Brown This ranch has within the
past year been subdivided into small
tracts and has all been sold to eastern
people who will make their homes in
this valley. other large land hold
ings will follow the same course and
it is almost an absolute certainty
that the population of the valley will
be doubled in the next year.
The location of Bellevue is such
that it will reap more benefit from
this increase of population than any
other town in the valley, as nine
tenths of the farm lands in the Wood
River country are tributary to it.
Nearly every line of business is rep
resented here and the merchants
carry good stocks.

The unwatering of the mine has
been accomplished by Worthingtor
turbine pumps, coupled on the column
pipe 400 feet apart and each operated
by 35 horsepower motors. These
pumps were especially built for this
particular job, as they are required
to operate in an incline shaft.
The company owns a fine power
plant located a quarter of mile
from Bellevue on the Wood river,
where an abundance of water is
available under a 38-foot head. This
plant is strictly modern in every
respect and consists Of two units OF
400 horsepower each. The current is
generated at $500 volts by Westing-

to horizontal turbines and is trans
formed for use at the mine and mill

About mile and half west of the

This property contains large body
of galena ore, developed about $50

lower tunnel being about 100 feet
below the upper tunnel, and the dis
lance from the upper tunnel to the
apex of the vein being several hun

grade and averages from one to five
feet in width, carrying the usual
high silver values occurring in the
Wood River district, and as 1t lies
directly west of the Minnie Moore
mine in the grandodeorite formation,
it undoubtedly is a part of the same
vein system and will most likely be-
come one of the largest producers in
