advantageous location of Bellevue
and accordingly stop here and Their
drive to the other places. The pc.
culiar location of Bellevue is such
that 1t is impossible to get to any
place in the valley without passing
through it. To meet the demand OF
the travelling public two of the largest
and best equipped livery stables on
Wood river are ready at all times to
give prompt and courteous attention
to those needing their services. Mr..
ID. b. Smith has charge of one of
these and Messrs. McMulin and Cross
the other. Mr.. Dee Story has charge
of the automobile service and is CIV
Ing the very best of satisfaction. He
is now planning to build garage and
put on some larger machines. He is
scarcely able to meet the demands for
transportation in his line at present
but his other cars will be in opera
ton at very early date. The roads
in this vicinity are free from dust
and are as firm as pavement, no bet
ter automobile roads can be found
the country over.
This is the paradise OF the nimrod
and the angler. During the summer
and autumn the grouse and sage hen
abound, and in winter cranes, ducks
and geese fill the hunters heart with
delight; IL perchance he tires of these
tanner sports he has but to repair to
the mountain, where he will find the
mountain goat, the bear, the noun
tain sheep and the timid deer. With
In stones throw of the city limits
flows the Wood river, in which can
be caught trout as large as they
grow; the season, however, is lin
tied to summer and autumn. The sea-
son in Silver creek is the whole year
round. Here at any time of the year
may be observed the angler pitting
his cunning against the vigilance of
the finny tribe, and In spring, sum
mer and autumn fishermen may be
seen in every direction To prevent
its supply being exhausted, the gov
eminent has located here a large
hatchery which turns millions of
young fry into the stream every year.
The hotel service of Bellevue is ex-
cellent; mountain trout can be had
at either hotel throughout the entire
year. The Central hotel is one of
the oldest and most popular hotels
on Wood river; all OF the travelling
men know of it's congenial proprietor,
Bert Picker. Since Mr.. Ed Thomas
has taken charge of the Morris hotel
1t has become as popular as the Cen
trail. Mr.. Thomas is a wide awake
business man and caters to the wishes
of his guests. In the midst of the
business section Mr.. Varcoe has his
excellent restaurant.
For the Spectator and business
man here is a virgin field of unde-
veloped resources; for the artist,
garden where he can bask in the
realms of natural beauty; for the
pleasure seeker, a place where he can
escape the dust and scorching winds
of the desert, lie down to pleasant
dreams at night and rise up in the
morning to breakfast of grouse,
canvas back and mountain trout.

reducing the temperature of the cool
ing boxes, the plant has capacity of
producing two tons of the most beau
tiful artificial ice and it has been
demonstrated that this ice will last
nearly twice as long as the naturally
frozen ice.
The fruit raising possibilities of
the valley are well established. APP
pies and pears of the finest varieties
have been produced here for many
years and crop failure is almost un-
known. No scientific methods have
been employed in fruit culture, the
trees being allowed to grow in almost
wild state, and the great production
has been surprise to the expert hor-
ticulturists VINO have visited the
valley.
With the increase in population in
the country tributary to Bellevue
there will naturally follow an in
crease in the business in the town,
and those who are looking for bust
ness location cannot do better than
to investigate the advantages that
are offered here.
:
The person who is seeking for a
place to make a home will find in the
Wood River Valley almost an ideal
spot. Scenery, climate, an abundance
of pure water and pure mountain air
all combine to make life worth living.

ources of Idaho In general and the
Wood River country In particular.
1t is the universal judgment of all
who have visited Wood River that II
is one of the most beautiful valleys
in the west. 1t is watered by Wood
river and Silver creek. The former
is skirted along it's entire course with
stately forests and finally leaves the
basin through deep and narrow
canyon carved out of the solid rock
by the rush of its waters. Silver
creek, one of natures wonders, wells
up from the lowlands, mighty river;
the volume of its water is constant
and its temperature varies but little
during the changing seasons, AFFORD
ing a natural nesting and feeding
ground for ducks, geese and other
aquatic game birds, and an ideal
home for the speckled trout.
Looking northward one can see the
snow capped peaks of the Sawtooth
range from which come the cool and
refreshing summer breezes. Here
lies the secret of the delightfully."-
cool evenings, even in July and Au-
gust. While others swelter and toss
upon the ir couch till morning dawns,
here one, tucked up snugly in his
blankets, can lie down to pleasant
dreams.
From the top OF Mount Lookout,
just back of Bellevue, can be had the
best panoramic view of the valley.
From this vantage point one can be-
hold the plain with its silvery streams
meandering through the meadows, the
trees and fields of living green, the
grazing herds and peaceful homes
gladdening the valley, and around the
plain can be seen a continuous rim
of majestic mountains, warding off
the chilling blasts of winter and the
scorching winds of summer. Located
in this charming scene like jewel in
its casket lies the beautiful city of
Bellevue so aptly named.
Bellevue is the hub city of the
valley; it has well-kept wagon roads
radiating out in many directions to
the outlying and tributary points; to
the east, the Lost River country Just
recently opened up for settlement, and
the Muldoon mining district; to the
south, Carey, Silver creek and Rich
field; to the west, the great reservoir
in which is impounded the water for
the Richtield project, and Camas
Prairie; to the north, the many. fam
GUS hot springs, Ketchum and the
hustling town of HALEY.
Bellevue has an entirely modern
school building valued at $4,000; in
addition to the class rooms, 1t is
equipped with an auditorium, a lib
rary and a physical and chemical
laboratory. 1t has the latest i'm
proved heating plant, air, either hot
or cold can be furnished to any part
of the building on a moments notice,
thus insuring temperature comfort
able both summer and winter.
The school offers instruction in the
grades and four years of high school.
The school throughout is on a par
with the best in the state. Pupils and
students leaving the Bellevue school
find no difficulty in holding their
grades and standing in the schools
to which they go, no matter whether
that school be in Idaho or elsewhere.
This year witnessed one of the
largest graduating classes in the his
tory of the high school and by far
the largest in the county. Pupils liv-
ing miles away in the country drive
to school each morning, returning to
their homes in the afternoon after

Bellevue, justly styled the Gate
City of the Great Wood River Mineral
Belt, is situated in the center of one
of the largest and most productive
agricultural tracts in southern Idaho,

past two years is mainly due to the

veiAs are exposed. The north vein
carries considerable copper carbonate
ore showing gold values. South Of
this is another vein which shows a
splendid body of lead carbonates and
galena, with silver values in the
ratio Of one ounce of silver to the
unit of lead. Mr.. Zortman is now
awaiting the arrival of machinery to
install a hydro-electric plant and
compressor and will this summer use
machine drills in driving the lower
tunnel to the vein.
Bellevue has much to be proud of
in the mining achievements OF the
past, and while there is much that is
gratifying in the shipments and pay
rolls of the present, she still has
great hope for the future. M. H.
Williams, Bellevues pioneer mining
man, who was member of the first
party of prospectors that arrived in
the Wood River Valley. and who now
divides his time between mining and
fruit raising, says: IT have been
prospecting for over forty years; /
have been in many of the mining
camps throughout the state; and 1

pecting within five miles of Bellevue
than 1 would in any other place

And he is dead right.

the district.
The Queen Extension, which pro-
duced considerable ore in the past
and which adjoins the Idaho CONSOLE
dated property on the north, has been
leased this spring to r. B. French OF
Bellevue. Mr.. French has done con-
siderable work on the property up
to date and recently struck a nice
body of shipping ore in the lower
tunnel. He and his associates are
now cleaning out and re-timbering
the wings in this tunnel preparatory
to sinking and further developing
the new strike.
In the Minnie Moore gulch are also
located the Overland, Edna, Snow
bound and st. Idlers, which in the
past have produced a large tonnage
of high grade silver-lead ore from
comparatively shallow workings. De-
velopment work is at the present
time being done on some of these
properties and In addition to this
there are at least $50 properties in
the immediate vicinity of Bellevue
upon which the annual assessment
work is being done every year. It
is more than probable that this de-
velopment work will in the near flu
ture produce more bonanzas similar
to those which in the past made
Bellevue famous.

A part OF the theory touching the
nature of matter is that the ions,
which are the constituents OF atoms,
are not only In constant motion, but
that this energy is working toward a
lower quality of matter; that is, that
gold is developing toward copper or
toward some other kind of metal OF
Tess value. So of silver and the dia-
mond. These precious metals never
transmute upward, but always down
ward The changes may not be OBJ
served in centuries, but in millions Of
years they will manifest themselves.
This disintegration of the atom and its
transmutation into the base metals
suggest two inferences-either the ad-
vance of civilization in the eradication
Of gold and other precious metals. or
that the so-called baser metals are OF
greater value and use In the social
economy OF course, long before the
eradication Of gold through this proc
ess, mankind will disappear from the
planet yet the lesson is left BY this
scientific discovery that in the great
plan Of nature, copper and iron are
more to be esteemed than gold or
silver. ss
