Send Them to Bed With a Kiss.

o mother, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day.
You often grow cross and inpatient,
Complain of the noise and the play !;
Fol- the day brings SO many vexations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mother, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with kiss !
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps, from the pathway of right;
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morn until night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite bless
ings,
Send the children to bed with kiss !!
For some day their noise will not vex
you,
The silence will hurt you far more !;
You will long for the sweet children
voices,
Or sweet childish face at the door;
And to press child's face to your
bosom,
You'd give all the world for just this.
For the comfort twill give you in
sorrow,
Send the children to bed with kiss !!

Work Now Progressing Very
Satisfactory.

From Thomas H. Minear, gen.
eeal n1ai1ager Of the Idaho Com
stock Mine company at Dixie, it
was learned that the present de-
velopment work consists in driv-
ing a working tunnel 1900 feet,
which will give vertical depth
of $50 feet or about 1000 feet on
the dip of the ledge.
This tunnel was started on the
Constock F, and will cross the
Pinchot into the Comstock E,
where it will follow the ledge.
The tunnel which is 4 1-2x5 1-2x7
has been driven 410 feet, and
the ledge on the Pinchot has
been cut and drifted on 70 feet.
The company hold IA claims.

Twenty-Five Men Employed d
Digging Ditch.

M. H. Sullivan, manager of the
Gold Scale placer, has the work
Of digging the ditch we'll in hand.
The right-of-way has all been
cleared and quite a piece has
been plowed, and is ready to be
finished, which will be done by
contract. Three separate crews
starting at station work Monday
morning. There will be very
little rock work. The ditch will
be 5 feet wide on top, 3'feet on
the bottom and 2 feet deep, and
will be two miles long. 1t will
require about 800 feet of hume,
including the race. At the point
where the pit will be opened,
there is a fall Of 210 feet from
the penstock. Mr.. Sullivan ex-
poets to have the ditch COM
pleted in six weeks.
Aside from the work on the
ditch, the company is clearing
quite a large area of ground, and
will lay the pipe line so that
every thing will be ready to COM
mence piping early in the spring.
Surveyor McNutt, with three
assistants, is at present locating
the right-of-way for the ditch
from the east fork of American
river. A preliminary survey OF
this ditch line, shows that it will
be nine miles long. This ditch
will not be started this fall, but
| will he dug next summer.

RIVER LINE
Why Oregon Short Line In

Why Oregon Short Line In
creased Stock.
The Portland Oregonian, a
newspaper always closely in
formed relative to the plans of
the Union Pacific, offers the
opinion, in commenting on the
increase of $72, 900, 900 in Oregon
Short Line stock, that the fund
is made available for "emer-
gency" use in the construction
of new lines and that the Salmon
river line in idaho is one of these
emergencies" s." The newspaper
says:
1t is not improbable that one
of the big emergencies which
the directors had in view is the
construction of the much dis
cussed line down the Salmon
river canyon. This line through
the canyon would be very ex-
pensive project for the greater
part of the distance, but as a
connecting link in the great
water level system operated by
the Union Pacifc-Oregon Short
Line-O. R. e N. it would be
worth all that it cost. This pro-
ject provides for the extension
to the mouth of the Salmon river
of the Oregon Short Line branch
now completed from Blackfoot,
Idaho, to Mackay. Much of the
distance along the river would
be through the deepest canyons
! to be found on the American con-
tinent, the river for many miles
running at the bottom Of canyons
from 1000 to 5000 feet deer.
There are, of course, wonderful
scenic attractions on route like
this, but it will not be natural
beauties nor passenger travel
that will justify expenditure Of
so large a sum. The road when
it is built will be constructed for
the purpose of extending the
water-level lines of the Hartman
system further into the interior
than any other railroad system
has penetrated with a continuous
water-level line from tidewater.
With this road through Salmon
} river canyon, freight can be
hauled along the banks of the
Columbia, Snake, Salmon and
Lost rivers for a distance of more
5 than 800 miles from the ocean.
t This natural advantage over any
line which is obliged to climb over
mountains has an economic value
that will recompense the builders
for the heavy cost. 1t may also
. have a very important bearing
on the changed conditions in dis
y tribution which are sure to fol

land in various sections is being
dry farmed, and there are
several million acres yet to be
reclaimed by dry farming
methods. -
Professor F. D. Farrell of
Caldwell, director Of the South
ern Idaho substations, says this
in an interesting article on ''The
Progress Of Dry Farming" in
the Dry Farming Congress Bull
etin, which will be issued at the
opening Of the fifth session Of the
Dry Farming Congress in Spo-
kane on October 3.
"These facts are usually some
what obscured by the splendid
activity on the irrigated lands,
he adds in brief. while the
irrigated lands are the most
talked Of and the greatest out
let for investment, the state has
dry land areas as large as seyeral
eastern states that probably will
never be irrigated but can be
successfully dry farmed."

in the meantime had grown very
weak, and DR.. Rains held a con-

with the result that an operation
was performed Sunday evening.
The bullet was located and re-
moved, being found imbeded in
the hip bone, having gone
straight back. After the opera
ton Shissler never regained con-
sciousness, and passed away at E
O'Clock Monday morning.
N. B. Pettibone, his brother
in-law, was with him at the time
and made arrangements for his
burial, which took place Tuesday

Prospectors Doing Great
Work.
EQUIP TO DEVELOP ALL WINTER
Immense Ore Bodies Exposed
on the Surface.

A recent inspection Of the
copper section on Kinks Fork,
near Anderson Butte, confirms
all that has heretofore been said
about this section. The trip to
the camp shows that it will be a
very easy matter to put wagon
road in from Elk City, but for
present needs the splendid trail
is all that is wanted.
The first and original location
made was by VIM. Simpson, and
is known as the Idaho Copper
group, and consists of six claims
laying on the east and west side
of Kinks Fork. On the west
side is where most of the work
has been done. At the point of
discovery he has opened up the
surface by a series of open cuts,
rs feet across a mineralized zone,
that shows copper of value, and
in most places it will pan gold.
In all of these cuts good assays
of both gold and copper are OBJ
tanned.
After satisfying himself that
this was something that would
stand development, Mr.. Simpson
traced the course of the zone on
the surface some five or six
hundred feet west, and then
started a tunnel on the creek
level. This tunnel is now in GO
feet and Is, and has been in ore
all the way. At the face now
the ore is heavily mineralized,
carrying both chalcopyrites and
bornite. The tunnel will be
driven so feet further, when they
will crosscut north and deter
mine the extent of the ore at this
point, which will have a deptl
of 80 feet. After prosecuting
the tunnel will be driven into the
hill, where a depth of 200 fee
can be obtained.
Mr.. Simpson has associated
with him several mining men O.
Kellogg, and it is their intention
to work all winter. They are a
present building cabins.
On the east end of the Idah,
Copper group, S. E. Hunter ha
two claims that are showing VI
well. The surface work expos
ing the same character of ore.
On the west, j. E. Brown, L
A. Strong and Jake Pritchard
have three claims that have
fine showing. After exposing
the ore on the surface, they ar
now driving a shallow tunnel
which is in ore. heavily mineral
lied. They expect to do cor
siderable development work thi

There are several other prom

claims, all of them showing or
of good copper values, and un
doubtedly several will be deve.
oped this winter.
