ORE STOLEN AT
BLUE JEANS
Several Tons of High Grade
Ore Gone.


When men were put to work
on the Blue Jeans claims to get
the ore that was on the dump
with the intention of having it
milled at the custom plant, it
was found that all the frst-class
ore had mysteriously disappeared
Mrs. M. A. Parr, the owner of
the property, went to the claims
and made an examination of the
ore dump and found that all of
the best ore had been taken, and
only a few tons of the second
class ore was left. When this
ore was taken is not known, as
the owner has not been on the
ground for sometime, and where
it was taken to, is more of a
mystery. There was a large
amount of ore and the value will
be severely felt by the owner.

Must Be Crazy.

A story printed in the Lewis
ton Tribune, from Grangeville,
about man named Pruitt who
gave himself up to the sheriff
claiming to have killed his part
ner on the Salmon river, about
25 miles above the Eakin ranch,
sounds very queer. Pruitt says
that after he killed his partner
he placed the body in the river
and went to the Eakin placer and
got some men working there to
go back with him and bury the
body. That when they returned
they could not find the body, SC
they returned to the Eakin ban
where he secured a boat, and
went down the river. From ].
R. Painter, who operates the
Eakin placer, it is learned that
no such person has been at his
place this fall, and that he never
heard anything of the man. =.

McNAMARA'S
CONFESSION
Astonishing End of Dynamite
Case.

The one topic of conversation
since the news of the confession
of the McNamara's at Los AM
geles, last Friday, has been:
Why did they do it? What will
the sentence be?
A great many waited for a
statement from Darrow, chief
of counsel for the defense, but
this did not make things any
clearer as to why the accused
men confessed. 1t was simply
to save their necks. 1t now
transpires that their guilt has
been known all the time, and the
evidence was such that they
would have been convicted.
Nearly all organized labor are
against the men now that they
have confessed, and in most
cases the extreme penalty was
asked for.
1t is now stated that more ar.
rests will be made and mer
higher up will be implicated II
the crime.
The judge sentenced James B.
Mcnamara to life Imprisonment
and John J. to Is years.

The world is indebted to the Chi

Of the silkwormA Its product was un-
known in Rome, until the time Of Ju-
lius' Caesar, and so costly was ehe ma
terial that even the Emperor Aurelian
refused dress Of this lustrous fabric
to his empress. Now it is nurtured
in almost every country, and its prod
ucts are within the reach OF all.
Besides the several domesticated
species, there is a wild silkworm
found in Central America which
weaves a baglike structure two feet
In depth that hangs from the trees.
At a distance the nest resembles a
huge matted cobweb. The insect
makes no cocoon, but weaves the silk
in layers and skeins around the IN

there were sent to England some years
ago about six pounds Of this silk.
There it was made into handkerchiefs

Timely Hints by Good.
Authority.
RESUMPTION CLAUSE ANALIZED
Claim Owners Cannot be to
Careful.

The following article taken
from the Mining Science of Dem
yer, and written by R. S. Nor
rison, author of Morrison's Min
ing Rights, is of vital interest to
prospectors who have not COM
pleted their annual assessment
work.
In Mining Science of Nov. 2
we summarized the questions
likely to arise on the perfor-
nance of annual labor, but did
not reach the matter of resump-
ton of labor, which is an i'm
portant sub-factor of the annual
labor law.
The act of congress, after de-
manding from the owners $lOO
worth of labor or improvements
each year, and adding that on
their failure to do or perform,
the claim shall be open to relo-
cation, says:
Provided, that the original
locators, their heirs, assigns or
legal representatives; have not
resumed work upon the claim
after failure and before such
location" the word location"
meaning a relocation of the claim
by a third party.
This proviso, by a sort of
friendly collusion, allows the
owner to do no labor during the
current year until perhaps the
last day of the year, when he
does some work on the claim and
is on hand on the morning of the
first of January to perform the
labor for the next year. The re-
suit is that by careful watching
the work for the second yeal
protects for that year and there
is nothing lost, although the
former has been an entirely idle
or almost an entirely idle year.
There is no express statute al
lowing the partial labor of ont
wear to be aided by any part O.

labor for 1909 or,for 1910, or fo
neither year? It-is certain tina
he has not performed it for botl
years.
The word resumed" is use
in the above cited, section. Tha
word implies a return to some

ALL READY
TO BUILD
Agents Have Explored the
Salmon River Route.

- ~~O
From what can be learned the
Pittsburg & Gilmore road is
showing some activity on the
Montana side, and reports have
it that all arrangements have
been made to commence con-
struction work in the spring.
Contractors agents have made
a thorough inspection of the pre-
posed route, and among other il
formation report the following
about the mineral resources:
Agent of the company for
three years have been periodical
ly making trips into the Salmon
river country, and have covered
every part of the great region
that the stream drair and which
would be tributary to a line built
down the river. The distance
from Whitebird TO Salmon City
by way of the river, as disclosed
by the railroad survey, is 1875
miles. For a distance of thirty
five miles above Whitebird, reach
ing a point known as Higgins
Springs, there is wagon road
or trail. For distance of forty
miles below Salmon City, or
reaching the town of Shoup,
there is a wagon road, So in
these sections of country served
by wagon road or trail, the
agents had no difficulty in secur-
ing very careful data as to the
possibilities of the country, in a
mining, livestock or fruit grow
ing way. Between Higgins and
Shoup, approximately a distance
of 120 miles, is a trail-less wild
erness, accessible only under the
greatest of difficulties. But the
agents have investigated, ex-
plored and charted that entire
region; and this is one of the in
, teresting findings made: Thirty
,, miles below Shoup, and appar-
! emily sweeping through the
country for miles, greal min
eral zone has been encountered,
which experts, sent by the rail-
road company, have reported
possesses possibilities in mining
way that promise to measure up
to the greatness of the Occur
d'Alenes as a silver-lead pro-
ducer. For a distance of thirty
: miles below Shoup, the forma-
e ton is granite, but here the por-
phyry-quartzite is found and tl e
great leads cut this. No data is
d yet available as to the full width
of the mineral zone, but con, /
e tions indicate that it creeps W, II
S into southern Idaho, while its
n northern extremity is in the
heart of the Big Creek district.
The railroad people have been
told that the building of the road
$ down the river would open up an
, immense mining country with
o practically unlimited tonnage.
II The agents have also reported tc
J. the railroad people that a rl,f
IL timber district could be penetrat

the later year and apply it all
for 1910. This seems an evasion
OF the law, and under this doc
trine party, as already observ-
ed, can escape entirely all labor
during each alternate year. 1t
is nevertheless, true, and we
know of no case which holds to
the contrary.
We here digress to observe
that the actual results in the way
of development produced, or
other benefit to the mine by the
performance Of annual labor, is
extremely small. 1t seldom
happens that 10 it., more or less,
of sinking or drifting will dis
close ore of value not previously
known to exist, A portion of
the work almost always consists
in cleaning out rubbish which
has fallen in or repairing old
timbers. The work is done, as
it is always done, where done in
the performance of a perfume
tory duty from which no returns
are expected. If the work all
ready done is sufficient to allow
"a patent to issue, it is always
more economical in the long run
to apply for patent and so put an
end to what may be called the
payment of an annual bonus for
the privilege of holding down a
fraction of the public domain.
! The first day of the following
calendar year is everywhere a
legal holiday, and sometimes also
a Sunday. If a third party is
first on the ground and has stuck
up a notice or stuck a pick in the
ground, such stranger or third
, party is, nevertheless, in position
to perfect a good location and
! kill the old title. The fact OF
! Sunday or legal holiday does not
prevent a valid entry by the
! stranger, But if on the last day

RESUME WORK
Will Drive Tunnel on Big Ore
Shoot,


VIM. Simpson, one Of the own.
ers of the Idaho Copper group of
claims, situated on Kinks Fork,
is taking in supplies and will
commence work on the property,
1t is the intention to drive the
present tunnel another hundred
feet and do some more cross
cutting. This work will put the
tunnel under the crest of the
ridge and into the. heart of the
ore shoot.
The low price of copper the
past year has not been very en-
couraging for the development
of copper properties, but as it is
now advancing in price, the
owners of the property feel that
they are justified in continuing
work.
The Idaho Copper has a large
body of low grade ore that carries
good values in gold and silver.
