FIND FORTUNE
In BLACK SAND
Dingley Follows in Wolcott's
Footsteps With Black Sand
Saving Invention.

Last summer the Globe contain
ed two articles setting forth the
fact that j. A. Wolcott, who had
been in the city for several
months working in rather a mys-
terious way and saying very lit
lie to anybody, had perfected a
machine, which it was claimed
would revolutionize placer mining
in as much as it would save what
has recently become known as
" blacksand :" values as well as
fine flour gold, which other ma
chimes have refused to separate
and save. Later it was announc-
ed that he had taken the ma
chine to the Salmon river coun-
try above White Bird and would
install it there for a thorough
test. Last heard he was still i'm
proving the new invention.
Now comes the news from the
Lewiston Teller, that w. B. Ding
ley, with whom many of our eft
liens here are somewhat acquaint
ed, as he sojourned here several
months last year, has also come
to the front with a flour gold
and black sand" saving device,
which he asserts will lap up the
sand values from Snake river at
the rate of from $500 to 5000 per
ton, which may be just fraction
strong. The Teller article, how
ever, reads in part as follows:
A machine for saving the flour
gold and for separating the black
sand has just been perfected by
w. B. Dingley, the we'll known
mining engineer, and Mr.. Ding
ley returned to Lewiston Satur-
day night from an extended alb
sence, bringing the plant with him
and will install the same along
the Snake river in the vicinity of
Lewiston within a few days.
Mr.. Dingley says he has been
experimenting on machine for
saving flour gold and has perfect.
ed one that will electrically take
up the flour gold from the sand
bars along the Snake river with
out losing a particle, however, it
is not the gold that he is seeking
so much with his machine as the
black oxide and sand which ex-
lists in quantities and when chem
ically treated being separated

EMPANEL JURY
FOR SESSION
Summons % Jurors-Grand
Jury not be Called-Work
of Former Jury Void.

The indictments for misdemean-
ors found by the grand jury of
last term have all practically been
thrown out, due to the fact that
Martin Wirrer, of Cottonwood,
an unnaturalized foreigner, was
drawn and served on the jury
in the finding of the bills. While
this may seem Ito some a small
matter to work such results, there
is no question as to the law in
point, and those who are advo-
eating law enforcement, must
promptly and gracefully accept
the mandates of the same.
In the case of f. A. Tamblyn,
who appeared by his counsel L.
Vineyard and j. Nj. Mcdonald,
as well as that of A. Sempert,
the indictments were quashed and
they were released on their own
recognizance. These were charg-
es of violating the liquor law.
Alva Fields, charged with as
sault with a deadly weapon, was
released on $500 bond, and held
to the next grand jury.
There has been talk of another
grand jury being called for this
term, but it is understood that
Judge Steele will not call grand
jury, although official announce
ment to that effect has not been
made.
The trial jury of % members
was drawn in the district court
this week and the work of sum-
moning the same was commenced
at once by Sheriff Overman and
Deputy Thompson. w. c. Cason
was named as special deputy to
serve during the session of the
district court. The following is
the jury drawn: Glenn Wasmuth,

Through the united efforts of
Congressman-elect Burton l..
French, Mayor Byrns, of Moscow,
President Mclean of the State
University and others, supple
mented by the hearty cooperation
of Senator Borah, arrangements
have about been perfected for a
visit to Moscow by Ex-President

ming, April 9th, providing it will
give him time for Spokane, and
will permit him speaking at Sand
point Monday and Missoula Tues

One of the most delightful
social events of the season was a
card party of Military five
hundred, given this week at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. G. L.
Stockton by the ladies of the
Five Hundred Club to their hus-
bands. The elaborate decorations
were emblematic of the birth
day of the Father Of His Country
and under the artistic design
employed the home presented a
most beautiful and attractive ap-
pearance.
A musical program of both
vocal and instrumental numbers,
together with dainty and
appetizing luncheon, contributed
their quota to the completion of
a most delightful evening. The
invited guests were:

LIKE OUTLOOK

Borah Chaperone to School
Land Committe-Taft
Stands With Idaho.

Late dispatches from Washing
ton, D. c.. announce that the
state school land committee, com
posed of Senator Kerns, Repre-
sentative Glennon and Assistant
Attorney General Peterson, sent
to the national capital by the
state legislature, is very much en-
couraged by the interviews they
have had with the powers that
be. Attorney General Wickersham
and Forester Graves, after list
ening to their statements, have
given them every reason for be
lieving that arrangements will be
made for the elimination from
the forest reserves of lands filed
upon by the state of Idaho, but
included in reserves before the
surveys could be made.
The two officials named after
listening with deep interest,
to the committees statements,
frankly admitted that they had
brought out many salient facts
that were not before them when
they rendered the decision ad-
verse to the state. Forester
Graves surprised the committee
by informing them he would fav-
or the elimination from the re-
serves of all lands upon which
the state had filed. AS the presi-
dent will rely heavily upon any
recommendation of the forest
service, the friendly attitude of
Graves will prove highly benefic-
ial.
The members of the committee
were taken in charge by Senator
Borah, who introduced them to
the president, who treated them
and their mission with the ut
most consideration, and at sec
ond and later interview the chief
executive signified his determin-
alton to do all in his power to
forward the cause for which they
had journeyed to the national
capital. These assurances have
filled the Idahoans with the most
sanguine hopes.
AS to the passage of the Ham
er bill permitting exchange of
sections 16 and 36 in the forest
reserves, the committee has not
been able to win over Senator
Hepburn, but have not given up
hope that he will permit this bill
to be voted upon after placing
himself on record. If Senator
Hepburn allows a vote to be TAX
en- the Hamer bill can become a
law before March A.

Mr.. Dingley has been operat-
ing in the Elk City country for
the past year and recently has
been associated with the CRANKY
smelter at Grand Forks, b. c.
Mr.. Dingley last year made a
number of tests of the sand along
the Snake river and declares that
there is a fortune in it for the
person who successfully separat-
es the oxides from the sand bars.
He declares the material is sought
for by the big electrical houses
who use it in making are lights
and other things of a like ma
ture.
He says that in making a test
of the sand that he estimated

cured such results when making
tests. He comes to Lewiston will

can secure suitable location he

SEES A BRIGHT
FUTURE FOR US
w. j. Jordan Cheers Us Up
By Mentioning Our
Advantages.

General Agent w. j. Jordan of
the Northern Pacific, was in the
city over night Tuesday In an
interview with the Globe repres-
entative, Mr.. Jordan compliment
ed Grangeville and Camas Prai-
rie on the manner in which they
have held their own in a business
way during the little after holt
days stagnation, and attributes
it to the fact that this country
is not confined strictly to grain
raising but is counted among the
large stock raising and shipping
sections of the north west. He
says that while some of the Pal
ouse points and other strictly agri-
cultural sections have their grain
tied up in warehouses, and conse-
quently that much money tied up
the same as we have, that Camas
prairie has continued to ship out
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars worth of stock, the money
from which comes back for circu-
lation, and is that much of a loca
easement over the conditions at
the other places mentioned, while
our grain yeild was the best last
year in tn northwest.
And further MIR. Jordan has III
bounded confidence in the mining
country lying contiguous to this
section, which he says is in his
Judgment today the greatest un-
developed mining belt in the en-
tire northwest, even surprising
the Jarbridge mines which are be
ing so extensively exploited at
this time. But in his opinion the
time is near at hand when centra
Idaho will be the lodestone that
will draw, and unlimited capital
and unexcelled engineering and
mining skill will seek its fast
nesses and court its favors with
the fervor and persistence of the
ardent lover. He says there will
be no trouble about transporta
ton when the tonnage is there
to induce the building of lines
up its gorges and hillsides; ton
mage is what the railroads are
seeking, and when the mining
capitalist gets busy and produces
the shipping commodity the rail
road capitalist will be promptly
on hand with facilities for its
transportation to the outside
world.
The big copper discovery re-
Gently made near Elk City, looks
good to Mr.. Jordan, who recog-
nizes the fact that tonnage comes
from the copper ore instead of
the free milling ores and concen-
trates, and as thorough railroad
man, embued with the shipping
idea, that copper find takes his
eye. Mr.. Jordan returned to
Lewiston after spending Wednes-
day in the city looking after his
company business.
