LOLO GROUP
NEAR DIXIE
Shows Large Vein of High
Grade Ore.

Grade Ore.
Don A. Burpee and sons are
the owners of the Lolo group of
seven claims, located a short dis
tance from Dixie, and on which
considerable development work
has been done.
A tunnel has been driven ITO
feet, and 80 feet of cross-cuts
made, which shows a strong vein
IA feet wide, carrying good
values. At another point a shaft
40 feet deep has been sunk, all
in ore. There are numerous
open cuts along the outcrop, and
all show a good character of ore.
Some of the ore is very high
grade and pans very free.

Hornblende rocks alter in diff

the condition of metamorphism.
The same rock might we'll give
rise to mica schist and to some
thing roughly classified as slate.
Under weathering conditions
hornblende ordinarily changes to
chlorite, which is often accom-
panied by epidote, calcite, quartz
iron oxides and siderite. Under
deep-seated conditions biotite is
frequently formed from horn
blende. Occasionally epidote
forms at the same time.
Gouge is finely ground rock
found along vein walls. 1t is a
product of pressure dtiring fault
ing, modified often by the later
action of circulating water. 1t is
not always equally developed on
both walls. If in a given case
the hanging wall be thought Of
as remaining fixed and the foot
wall as rising along it, the foot
may be conceived as raveling off
against the hanging, and the
natural result would be a well
developed gouge along the hang
ing. one that was sporadic only
along the foot, and a vein filling
which may include at any given
level, fragments of any of the
rocks in that part of the foot
wall that has been. raised to or
above the level chosen.

WHY BUILD
SALMON ROAD
Only Road That Can Compete
With Panama Canal.

With Panama Canal.
Ruben McGregor, of Elk City,
is a visitor in the city, having
reached here yesterday morning
from Window, Minnesota, where
he has been visiting his father,
who is in i'll health, says the
Lewiston Tribune. Mr.. McGre-
gor is we'll known in Idaho county
mining circles, having entered
the Buffalo Hump district during
the boom days, IA years ago. He
has quite extensive mining. in-t
terests there and has never lost
faith that the district is destined
to become a great producer.
Mr.. McGregor believes that the
Salmon river railroad will be
built, thus providing transporta-
ton facilities of a nature that
assure the successful handling of
great bodies of ore that cannot
be worked, under. existing con-
ditions. "This line down the
Salmon river" he said yester-
day, Twill be the only one that
can successfully compete with
the Panama canal, and. it will
provide the best route across the
great western country. The dis
tance from Salmon City to tide
water is 300 miles by this route,
and 500 miles of the line are now
provided. There remains to be
constructed only the 300-mile gap
across Idaho from Salmon City
to Lewiston. The grade from
Salmon City to Portland is but
seven feet to the mile, and the
divide beyond Salmon City can
be crossed on a l per cent grade.
Mr.. McGregor says this road
will serve region, now entirely
isolated of transportation, that is
larger than the state of New
York, and the route will traverse
one of the most picturesque
canyons on the American CONT
nent. At points this canyon is a
mile deep. Following the con-
struction of this line," said Mr..
McGregor, there is no doubt
that at some point above Lewis;
ton, perhaps near the mouth Of
the Salmon, will be erected big
Esmelters. There IS coal in the
Salmon City section, while the
road will make available alst
lime and the gold, silver ane
copper ores of the Salmon rive,
, region.

The ProspeCtor
and His Burro
From Salt Lake Mining Review.

from OalC Lake Mining REVIEW. |
''The air has been quite balmy |
of late," said the prospector to
his burro, "and l notice that you
are skating about sizing up the
outlook for good sagebrush
crop this season, for next to the
covering of a full-grown ham,
you esteem the sagebrush as one
of the choicest articles of your
diet. The budding of the sage
brush, also, is usually the signal
) for the prospector to break away
from the roulette wheel and faro
bank long enough to skirmish
around for his burro and load up
his pack for trip into the hills.
The sage hen, also, is thinking
of nesting again, which means
that it is high time to get busy
in following up the float brought
down into the canyons by the
winters storms, and to hunt for
the lodges uncovered by spring
freshets and landslides. AS for
myself, l feel the call of the
mountains and it will not be long
now, before we will be camping
high up in the pines or in some
sheltered canyon far out in the
desert ranges.
Il see you are somewhat skep-
tical about any good result COM
ing from spring freshets, and
landslides caused by softened
ground, and intimate that a sea-
son spent near some thirst parlor
in wide-open camp would be
more in accordance with your
idea of comfort. But, none what
ever. This policy might do with
some, and doubtless does with
many, the result being that
when winter comes again they
are generally baggy at the knees
and unable to buy even a meal
ticket. The pushing, hard work
ing, and really intelligent pros
peetor, however, will get out
early in the spring, and, if he
doesn't find something good be-
fore the summer is over, it is not
because he has not put in his full
time in the effort. But, you say,

THE PLATFORM

Although the platforms OF
political parties have OF recent
years-as demonstrated in the
Roosevelt and Taft campaigns
been used as gang planks. still
they are intended for candidates
to stand on, and to inform the
people of the measures and poll;
cies to be carried. They should
be plain, simple, and straight
forward, and not subject tc
several interpretations. This rule
has also been recognized anc
ignored in drawing them-so
that they could be interpreted to
suit the pleasure of the party IN
power. -
The Democratic party shouto
adopt this year a platform that
by it's simplicity will appeal to
every man who can read and
understand plain English. It
should not promise too much but
what it does promise should not be
left in doubt. A few lines ought
to be sufficient to enunclate any
truth or declare for any reform.
And in view of the direct pri-
mary who will prepare this plat
form? The State candidates
will no doubt stand on the one
adopted by the State Convention,
but where will the local candl-
dates in each county be, and
who will adopt theirs for them!
Or will each stand on his own,
and it be the case of root hog
or die %
It is a well known fact that
the resolutions or platforms are
prepared before hand by one OF
two persons and promptly ap-
proved by the Committee on
Resolutions and adopted by the
Convention. This is the custom
a1y way, though of cours,
there have been rare exceptions
to this rule. Would it not be
well to try a new plan and the
party management begin now to
prepare for framing a platform
for next fall? This work should
not be left to one man, but the
members of the Central Com
mittees should take it up, and by
investigation and thought they
will be prepared, when the time
comes, to draw a platform that
will represent the wishes Of the
people, ::and:: not zone presenting
the views of a few individuals.
A discussion and consideration
of the various planks proposed
will result in only those being
adopted that the mass of the
people desire. Such a platform
with good candidates will as
sure asDemocfatic victory. The

"WAR GAME" THAT WE OUGHT
NOT TO INDULGE IN.

The people of this country are
not so simple as to believe that
the mobilization of the army ano
navy is meant merely to give
them practice in a war game. y
They see in the massing OF
troops so near the Mexican Dor
der a demonstration intended to
awe the revolutionists to throw
down their arms and return to
their homes, there to meet such
fate as the Diaz Government
shall decree, says the Baltimore
Sun. And they will be inclined
to believe, furthermore, that the
demonstration is made at the
behest and to serve the purposes
of certain moneyed interests
that have invested in Mexican
property.
A few weeks ago we witnessed
the spectacle of a naval demon
stration, though less in strength,
in Honduran waters, and made,
as many persons believed, with
the purpose of protecting the
money of American fnanciers in
vested or about to be invested in
Honduran securities. The dem
onstration on the Mexican Dor
der seems to be in the interest OF
the same general group of
financiers. Happily the Hondu-
ran situation was relieved by a
compromise between the Govern
ment and the revolutionists, and
nothing but the bluff" was
required there. But what will
follow if the Mexican revolution
lists, refuse to be frightened
Will Mexico be invaded by our
troops?
This Government has no right
to interfere in the internal affairs
of other countries. If our
moneyed men sent their money
away from home for investment
let them look to the countries to
which they send 1t for Its pro-
lection. That is part of the
game-the legitimate risk they
take in the hope of greater gain,
The strength Of this people must
not be sold to help them press
for a debt.
The same day on which orders
were given for the mobilization
of the army and navy there was
given out in Washington a letter
from President Taft, commend
ing the public service of Richard
A. Ballinger, who had just been
driven to resign from the Cab
met because the people thought
he served special interests rather
than the general good. And
those special interests are the
same in a general way as those
that desire armed protection for
their investments in Mexico.

All these things of this country,
and together will stir up a wrath
to which President Taft will do
we'll to give heed.

warnings given was skinny on
