or Elko, they like to have this place
for them selves, most all business
houses are Twin Fall people.
They get apetition out; to have the
mail all brought in from Twin Falls,
instead of from Elko, las the gov
ernment has asked for bids) also they
ask to have Mr.. Riddle appointed
sa postmaster instead the Drug
clerk of Elko. These Idahon's have
their nerve, of course that bunch |

selling lots unlawfully and they
think u. S. listens to their talk,
saying in the petition as if it were
the wish of the camp to have Mr..
Riddle appointed.
A good location for stores has to
be bought either from people who
bought from the townsite or from
the squattcr. The boys that are
putting in the drug store paid $500.

night from squatter for S65.00,
about ten lots from the drug store
and post office. OF course it is a
guess what the government is going
to dO--anyway | am going to hang
on and sell when the time comes.
There is no question a big boom
is going to be here in the next 90
days. In Twin Falls people have
booked for the stages six days
ahead and lots of people walk and
some come in wagons with pros
pecting outfits. Whenever the
saloon keepers get permits to sell
whiskey then she will hum. At
present about 10 tents are built for
gambling and to sell whiskcy.
Whiskey and beer are sold on the
quiet. About ten lodging houses
are here and ten or more restauf-
ants, and more have stuff here to
open up with. None of the restau-
rants is making any psoney yet.
Riddle is making money. The two
brothers who run the Red Front
in Goldfield are 90 open a store here
soon. Lou;s is going to New York
in fe" days, very likely to peddle
steck or some claims.
I Well boys this is about all can
tell you about Jarridge at present,
and write the way it looks to me.
1t may make good and it may not.
OF course, the making good has
few points the best of it. is my
idea, on account of having big
territory and good prospectors, salso
good mining men on the ground.
Will close for the present and
hope these few lines reach you to
find you well. Have good health

bidge good weather. With best
wishes | rem ain.

An Easter Miracle

1t was in tie year 1899, when the
armies of Napoleon were passing
over the continent of Europe and
conquering al that came in their
way.
1t was Easter morning, and the
sun shone brightly on Feldkirch, a
little town situated on the III river,
just within the borders of Austria.
The Ill flows into the Rhine
Quite early on This morning there
suddenly appeared on the heights
above the town 10 the west the gilt
tering weapons o; the l8, 900 French
soldiers, the division under the COM
mand of General Massena.
There was hasty assembling of
the town council, and it was de-
cided that a deputation be sent to
Masscna with the key of the.
town and a petition for mercy.
In the midst of all the confusion
of the hurrying to and fro and the
anxious consultation the old dean
OF the church stood up serene as
was the morning, with no thought
of fear in his brave Christian heart
1t is Easter day." he said. 1--WE
have been reckoning on our owr
strength and it is but weakness.
Let us ring the bells and have
service as usual. We will leave ouI
troubles in the hands of the Higher
Power"
Soon from all the church spires
of Fcldkirch the bells rang out
joyously. The streets became
thronged with worshippers on their
way to church. Louder and more
triumphant pealed the bells as they
rang out the glad message, and tbs
hills, putting on their new green
echoed back: Christ is risen. He
is risen from the dead"
The French army heard thc
sounds of rejoicing, and Massena
concluded there could be but one
reason for it. He was sure that
the Austrian army had arrived in
the night. He ordered his men to
break up camp, and almost before
the bells had ceased ringing-long
before Easter services were over
the French army was in orderly
retreat.
BY noon not a tent, not a
soldier, not glittering bayonct,
was to be seen on the heights above
Fcldkirch. Boston Globe.

 We lad all heard, in d general way, of the wireless telephone, but few of IS realized that it was already becom- ing q factor m the subtle rthnemen,s of our modern civilization until the news of the past two months caused US to sit up and take notice" so to speak

THE RUSH TO FLORIDA.
Even the Watery Everglades Are Be
 ing Sold As Farms.

The rush for land in Florida is on. says the Technical World. There are many reasons for this great and com parativcly sudden demand one is that the lumber and turpentinc kings are beginning to release their grip on the state lands
 Having turpentined the trees to death over vast tracts and then cut them and sold the lumber, the land is useless for their purpose. This land. which cost the turpontine men from 25 cents to s1 an acre. they are now glad to sell in large lots from 30.000 to 100000 acres at from g. to $5 an acre.
 Colonies by the score are being planted all over the state. In the very Everglades themselves. section that the Scographies once taught was but a vast swamp with little or no land above water. four or five land companies are operating One has sold lG.O00 farms in ten-acrc lots at from S20 to S24 an acre. another has sold 1000 farms at the same prices. another 900 farms at $50 tO S100 an acre and another 1000 farms at 80 to $50 an acre.
 It is estimated that 40 per cent of these sales are to actual settlers, the balance going to the small spcculator who is willing to chance the invest ment of q few hundred dollars in the hope of q great increase in price of these lands later On-whcn they come out from under the water. For 1t Is 4 fact that much of the ENcrglade land sold is at present to be travcrsed only in boats or Hn rubber boots. It is supposed that as a rule the buy CTS understand that. One big sale of Everglade land was by the state. half million acres at g per acre. the state agreeing to put out S1 per acre in draining this land. no time being set for the completion of the drainage contract.
 The state now has four s50.000 dredGes at work and has so far dredg ed about twenty-five miles of canal and nine of river. Bids have just been received for goo miles more of { canal and optimists think the drainage of the lands sold may be completed in ten years. F
 AS A sample of the rush on the rJart of the small speculator and small farmer for these Florida lands may he cited the cutting up of a big tract near Tampa about a year ago. This was advertised and money came by mail for the five and ten acre

Mazarin Sings by Wireless.

I The comment occasioned all over the world by this performance had hardly isubsidcd before another test of the 'music-carrying qualities of the wireless iteicphone was made Selections from i"Carmen" were sung over the roofs of New York. on the afternoon of Febru- Iarv 2ith. The feat was performed by Mime Mazsrin. the brilliant new star oi Ike Manhattan Opera Company. whose Itrst American interpretation of "Elek- Itra" has occasioned favorabie. yes en- lthusiastic comment by the music loving world.
 Mime. Mazarin sang into the wireless itelephone at the laboratory of Dr. Lee lDeForest. at Io3 Park Avenue. New York. A small, but select, audience heard the notes on the roof of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building land applauded the singer over a mile Lawav. A selection from Elektra" thrilled the distant hearers. IL was a strange and weird performance. The audience that heard the opera was charmed by the singers voice as well as the novelty of the performance.
 Between the songs the wireless opera tor Of the Newark, N ]. station of the Radio Telephone Company, conversed by wireless telephone with Dr. DeForest in New York During tine singing the employees of the factory all listened to the music.
 Mime Mazarin began her performance at 30 in the afternoon. She sang ,he Aria from Carmen first. then rested a few minutes before sending forth the terrific. crashing notes of "Elektra
 After the exhibition Mime MazarIU and the audience at the Metropolitan station were taken to the very top of the 700 foot tower, where they could see away in the dim distance the wireless station on the inventors laboratory from which the music had been trans mitted.

At the great wireless station of the Radio Telephone Company in the tower of the Metropolitan Life Building. New York, the exchange of messages with Chicago. Cleveland, Detroit and Key West was stopped long enough for a group of newspaper men to listen in and hear the performance As the Metropolitan Tower contains the larg- est and best equipped wireless station in the world. reaching up 100 feet into the air above Madison Square. it was very easy matter to lear the music in all its beauty and clearness of tone The harsh notes of the orchestra became soft and wooing lke-fairy- music.

It looks as if the usual concerts gwen aboard the great sea-going hotels would soon become a thing of the past. No one who travels abroad-unless he wished to see as well as hear-would prefer cabin musicale to listening to a Caruso or a Sembrich

First Wireless Telephone.

The wireless telephone which made possible the accomplishment of this won der of electricity IS the invention of Dr. Lee DeForest, whom electrical men con slider the very foremost wireless expert n America. His first successful demonstration of the wireless telephone was in May, 1907. when accounts of the yacht races at Putin Bay, Ohio, were reported over four miles away by means of the new invention. This first demon stration was SO successful that after thorough testing the United States Cow ernnent equipped all of the battleships of the great Atlantic fleet which was

New Noiseless Telegraph

This invention Dr. DeForest calls the radio telephone. In February, I9oo the inventor of the wireless telephone brought out his new suppressed spark wireless telegraph with which he was able to send messages without any 'n- terference from surrounding stations
 The first record made by this new "radiotone" wireless telegraph was the exchanging of messages between Rev West and New York and its most notable triumph was the sending of two long radiograms from the Metropolitan Tower. New York to the Railway Ex- change Building. Milwaukee. through all and during the most sd- verse weather conditions. a feat never before accomplished. The radiotone noiseless telegraph using only ? kllo- watt generator communicates with Ney West and Milwaukee. while the Unltet States Government station at Key West requires a B KilOwatt generator n order to send back its answer
 Truly the wonders of wireless are and yet the inventors tell us that the art is only in it's infancy. The transmitting of s-veral wireless messages from Curtiss bipl7ne to the ground at Fresno. Cal, was only the beginning of a practical use of the rn- vention which will be as common in few years as the wire telephone IS today.
