Low Expense Operat-
ing In Elk District

The cost of actual mining in
the Elk City district is not as
high as in other mining dis
tricts in the northwest where
the ore is Of lower grade.
There is abundance of water
and timber, labor is the same
as in other places, and sup
plies can be bought as cheaply
in Elk City as they can be in
any gold district.
A. w. Boyd, lessee of the
American Eagle mine, who
has operated in northern Idaho
and British Columbia, says it
costs SO to $11 a foot to drive
tunnel and an average of $40
TO sink shaft.
1t is only when milling is
begun that the expense here
runs higher than IN other dis
tricts, and that is due to the
high cost Of power.
The numerous streams offer
great Inducements 10 power
companies, which will soon
enter the field, and when that
time comes, mining in central
Idaho will be on q safe and
sure basis.

stated to the editor Of this paper that
he had just returned from an inspection
Of the new gold strike on the south
fork Of the Clearwater and had made
an examination of the strike on the
Harmon & Morrow property and Sc
cured samples of the ore. says the
Grangeville Standard-News. Mr.. Pet
tibone states the strike is all that has
been promised for it, and predicts big
mining rush in the district during the
coming spring.
The tunnel is being driven on the
ledge which ranges in width from to
10 feet and large quantities of the ore
taken. out show free gold to the naked
eye. The crumblings from the ore Will
return values as great as 81 to the pan
and the ledge has been opened up on
the surface with crosscuts for a dis
lance of 1000 feet.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
property at sum considerably in ex-
cess of 800. 900 are now pending, but
in the event deal is not made machin-
cry will be installed as early in the
season as possible. The present tunnel
is being driven on level where !, 300
feet depth can be secured with 2, 600
foot tunnel.
Mr.. Pettibone reports important de-
yelopments on number of properties
in the district and predicts a very
active season in the south fork district.

MANY RUSH
CONTINUED from Page IL

Forty-eight years ago many farmers
OF the Willamette valley left their
plows standing in the burrows, saddled
one plowhorse and packed another and
were off to the goldfelds, feeling that
they were emancipated forever from
the erudgery Of the farm. Mechanics
dropped their tools-some sold them to
procure money for the passage to Lew
iston-and joined the hu1ying throng.
September found the hosts returning
disappointed, disgruntled, Respondent, a
summers work wasted, ready to pro-
nounce the mines Of Idaho hoax and
the transportation company that grew
rich and powerful in meeting the de-
mand for the transit Of men, horses and
supplies, a robber in the frenzied game.
Not few fortunes however, were re-
allied from the mines in those PARKWAY
days, and the year that has not added
a considerable volume Of gold to the
worlds output from these mines since
that time has been an exceptional one.

DISASTER TO PARIS
BROUGHT BY FLOOD.
Many Parts Of France Ravaged

Waters.
HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS
Villages Are Submerged, Only
Their Roofs Showing
Above Surface. I

Paris, January 23.-The floods to-
night exceeded all records. and are
fast assuming the proportions OF a
national disaster. In the north. east
and west hundreds are homeless and
ruined. Although 1t is impossible at
the present time to estimate the dam

The rise In the waters continued

destruction. The Pont de l.Alma Is
In momentary danger, and is guarded
by police.
A dispatch from Cha1ons- Sur Marine
says that a huge volume OF water Is
sweeping downstream towards Paris.
NJ. Lepine, prefect of Paris, after a
tour of inspection In an automobile

of the situation.
One of the water mains, serving five
of the most populous arrondissements

without water. The flood Is invading
the pumping stations, and the COM
pressed air factory. which supplies the
elevators in Paris. has also been
forced to shut down.
Threatened by Sewers.
One Of the great engines which pump
the sewerage in the eastern section of
Paris broke down OH account OF the
flood, and as result the sewers
threaten to overflow the streets. Sew
eral quarters are without telectrclight.
and all the trolley lines to the eastern
suburbs are out of commission.
The officials OF the prefecture are
busy providing for the homeless. but
they are finding great difficulty in se-
curing shelter. "A considerable number
of houses have sunk In the soft mud
and water and on the Boulevard OF
st. Germain. a house under construc-
tion is tottcring and threatening to
fall on the Chamber of Deputies.
The situation In the outskirts of
Paris is even worse than within the
city proper.
owing to tho widespread Interrupt

communications the exact situation In
the provinces Is difficult to define.

English Elections so Close That

4 London, January 23.-Never In the

that the result OF the elections for all
practical purposes may be considered
a tie.
No human mind can divine which OF
the public questions before the voters
had the most influence at the polls, or
whether the results mean that the
people demand tariff reform or are
loyal to the Lords or anxious to re-
ject Chancellor Lloyd Georges buo-
get. or whether all three Of these had
an equal effect. Under these circunl-
stances. neither party wants the re-
sponsibillty of attempting to legislate.
and. since division must be so close,
the unionists are better satisfied to
be in opposition than to have won by
a very small majority.
Means Another Election.
Mr.. Balfour's speeches show plainly
that with the existing. conditions he Is
glad not to have control OF the gov
ernment. Premier Asquith would be
equally pleased to escape the same
perils. All the prophets make the pre-
diction that the new cabinet will find
itself in the minority within a year,
and that the country will plunge into
another general election.
Ballot figures to date show how near
ly equal bothsthe popular vote and the
membership of the House Of Commons
will be divided. The popular vote
stands: Untonists. 2,565,627: Liberals.

TWO years ago to-day, or, to be ex-
act, on the second Monday after the
meeting of the General Assembly Of
1908, The Times Dispatch said:
In the prompt and business-like
manner with which 1t has inaugurated
the business of the session, the Lesis-
l!ature of 1908 has broken all records.
At its fourth sitting it appointed COM
mtttees: at It's seventh 1t began pass
ing bills. During the first ten days
OF life 1t organized elected most of
the, officers of whom 1t had the choos-
ing, and disposed OF nearly all the

character"
The Legislature of 1910 has seen the
Legislature OF 1908 and has raised it
a stack of blues. The present body
appointed It's committees on the first
day Instead of its fourth--at least the
House did, and the Senate committees
were practically holdovers--it also be-
gan passing bills on its seventh day.
while many others were crowdins
each others heels on tho calendar, and
1t has not only disposed Of its non-
Legislative routine. but has actually
gone through with n big slice OF the
business &C the session.
Many Measures Considered.
The number of bills introduced to
this date appears to be about the same
as In 1908. But the number considered
and passed upon In committee Is much
larger this year. Not that the volume
of bills reported betokens a useful or
faithful committee. To the contrary,
the committee which kills the most
bills Is doing the greatest service to
the Commonwealth But hearings and

of public business.

HIGH RECoRD REACHED.

Special to The Times-Dispatch.l
New York, january @3.-BradsI rect
has compiled record of prices OF
.niuety-.Ix commodities that enter into
daily and direct consumption by the
people, and the result shows that the
cost OF living has now reached an ap-
solutely high record. exceeding even
that Of March 4, 1907. when prices
went soaring In anticipation OF the
panic which came In the fall OF that
year. The figures for December 4
last were below tho previous high
record Of 1907. but the continuous sky
ward movement OF prices In the last
month OF 1909 had established new
hiEh-wnter mark by January 4.
The agures complied by Bradstreet's
are known as Index numbers They
are based on actual wholesale quota
tions per pound for the commodities
in question, which, to make them COM
prehensive. are averaged over VIDE
nrea OF markets. When 1t is, said that
the index number for January l,sl9lo,
was $9.23l0. it means that man
buying at wholesale one pound each OF

The new "number'' surpasses tho pre-
