ROOSEVELT
NOW CANDIDATE
Shes His Caster Into the
Political Arena.

The eagerly awaited reply from
Colonel Roosevelt, has been issued
from New York. 1t follows.
New York, Feb. 25,, 1912.
Gentleman: l deeply apprec-
late your letter and | realize to
the full, the heavy responsibility
it puts upon me, expressing as it
does the carefully considered
convictions Of the men elected by
popular vote to stand as the
heads of the government in their
several states.
II absolutely agree with you
that this matter is not to be de-
cided with any reference to the
personal preferences or interests
of any man, but purely from the
standpoint of the interests of the
people as. a whole. l will accept
the nomination for president if it
is rendered to me and I will ad-
here to this decision until the
convention has expressed its
preference. One of the chief
principles for which I now stand
and which | have always endeav-
ored and always will endeavor tC
reduce to action is the genuine
rule of the people; and therefore
l hope that so far as possible the
people may be given the chance
through direct primaries to ex
press their preference as to who
shall be the nominee of the re
publican presidential convention
Very truly

DisraeIi Placated CARLYLE.

modification if the man against whom
they were aimed came near enough tc

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
To disconnect or remove a
safety device which has been at
tached to machine under the
direction of the safety Inspector
of the state is, according to the
law of New York, a misdemeanor
and the fine imposed for an in
fraction of the law, acts as a
strong deterrent to carelessness
and leads to a decreased number
of accidents.
The appearance of raw clay is
no criterion whatever as to the
color of the burned product. The
colors of clays vary widely, from
the white of kaolin to the dark
red, or black, or the red burning
clays. The main coloring con-
stituent of clays is iron oxide,
and according to the amount
present it gives colors ranging
from buff to red.

Give Capital a. Chance.

1t is being freely predicted
that this is going to be a good
year for mining industry of the
west. We all hope that this is
going to be the case, and, thus
early in the season. the advance
in metal quotations strongly in
dicate that the prophecy of good
times coming is going to be full
filled.
But, the mine owners of the
west, the prospectors, and the
claim-holder, must make up his
mind to help if prosperity is to
be induced to settle in our midst,
for prosperity, as we view the
term, means money, capital, and
this must be met half way if we
hope or expect to interest the
owners of this money, of this
capital. in the many mining prop
ositions now held in allegiance
because of lack of funds fol

Most every prospector, every

Making a Magnst.

The simplest way Of magnetizing q
bar of steel is that known as "single
touch" The bar to be magnetized Is
laid on the table and the pole of
powerful ma agnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length. always
In the same direction. If the north
pole Of the magnet is employed the end
of the bar first touched will also be-
come a north pole, while the opposite
end. at which the magnet is lifted be-
fore returning, will be a south pole.
There are other and more compn-
Gated methods, known as divided
touch" and double touch" in which
two and even four magnets are en-
ployed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within a coil of insulated
wire, through which a galvanic cur
rent is circulating, The magnetism in
duced in this way, however, is weak
compared with that which can be pro
cured If the. same strength of current
is employed through the Intervention

Mineral Zone Ore Shoot
Getting Bigger.
EXTENSIVE ORE BODY OPENED
Biggest Strike Ever Made in
Central Idaho.

Work has so far progressed
on the new strike on the Colonel
Sellers claim Of the Mineral Zone
group, owned by Mrs. M. A.
Parr, as to dispel all doubt as to
it's magnitude.
The vein has been opened
further to the west, and 260 #.
of the ore shoot is now exposed,
This ore shoot pans the entire
length, and pans very big,
In the last cut that has been
opened the ore is harder and
less oxidized, but seems to be OF
a higher grade.
1t is the consensus of opinion
that this is the largest and most
extensive ore shoot ever opened
in Central Idaho. There may
have been shoots opened that IN
places would pan as good, Dut IL
must be taken into consideration
that this vein has been stripped
and ore taken out, that has been
milled, and that the mill returns
show it to be very high grade.
At present they are still taking
out ore to be sent to the Reduc-
ton plant, and in the last cut
made, it is expected that the ore
will mill considerably more than
formerly. 1t may not plate much
more, but the concentrate will
be of a higher grade. The entire
vein is taken, from wall to wall
and from assays and paintings
there seems to be very little diff
ference in the values of the en-
tire width.
The Mineral Zone group has
one of the finest bodies of mining
timber in this section, and il
well situated for economical
work, aside from the fact that /
is a sinking proposition.

DEVELOP POWER
ON THE SALMON
Portland Men Secure Water
Right.

O1S III.
A. Welch and R. B. Montague,
of Portland, operating under the
name of the Lewis County Power
company, have filed power site
locations on the Salmon river,
covering the big project at
Horseshoe Bend, where locations
were made several years ago by
the Lewiston & Southeastern
Electric Railway company.
Announcement is made that
the development of the power
project will be commenced this
spring and at least 40, 900 electric
horse power will be developed at
the beginning. The proposition
is pronounced by engineers to be
the biggest power project in the
northwest today and when fully
developed will provide 125, 900
horse power and represent an in
vestment of approximately $3,-
100000. The name of the site,
Horseshoe Bend, is taken from
the course of the Salmon river
at this point and the driving of a
1900 foot tunnel will secure a
drop of over 200 feet and dump
the overflow in the river at q
point nearly seven miles from the
point of intake.
The river at the point of intake
is only 200 feet wide and the
plans provide for the construc
tion of a dam 10 feet above the
low water mark. Two tunnel:
through through the mountain
will be driven to develop the
maximum power but at the be
ginning but one tunnel will b.
used and this of sufficient size t.
develop to 10000 horse power t.
be used by the company in it
initial operations.
The report of the engineer
shows the cost of developing tn
2 Salmon river project will not ex
ceed $24 per horse power, thi
cost including the construction
of the dam, the driving of tn
tunnels and the installation o
the electric equipment.

cally valueless, and, at the ut
most, could not show more than
$4,000 or $40, 900 blocked out and
in sight. Perhaps capital would
be willing to give twice this
much for the prospect, and it
would be money in the pocket of
the owner to take it. But no,
his ideas of values are fixed upon
future possibilities, and he wants
$25O,0O0 or $500,OO0 for a pros
pect upon which he has expend-
ed but a small amount in devel-
opment. And then he bewails
the hard times and takes a fall
out of capital when the would-be
investor passes up the PROPOSE
ton for another which can be
had for something like its present
actual value.
How much better it would be
to close a deal for $40, 900 or $780,
900, and making a big piece of
money. at that, than to scare
capital away by asking exorbi-
tant and unreasonable figures.
AS it is, it is the buyer who is
taking the chance, and not you.
Capital always assumes this risk;
but it does not propose to deal in
absurdities, and is always anxi-
GUS to play as safe as possible.
If we want prosperous times
throughout the mining districts
of the west, we must give capital
a chance. We must meet the
man with money half way. Put
yourself in his place, and then
see how your own proposition
would strike you. Don't be con-
tent to plod along year after
year, without hardly the price of
meal in your pocket, just be-
cause you insist on asking more
for a prospect than a regular
, producing mine is worth. Be
, more moderate in your demands,
, and give the other fellow, the
man. with the money, a chance
to make something. You won't
, live always, and may never live
to get a million for piece OF
mining ground that is not worth
, more than $4,000. Be reason
o able. Help in getting little
E real money in circulation in your
camp, in your district; and give
|, capital a chance. Salt Lake

purpose depends on the circum-
stances. If there is but little
material, a hand windlass may
suffice, with more, then horse
whim, steam hoist, or water
power may be used. Gasoline
engines will often serve every
purpose, and a small distillate
engine will give excellent service.
Tellurium can be detected in
ores by a method recently de-
scribed by G. T. Holloway, who
suggests method of isolating
tellurium from ore for testing
purposes, by concentrating it
with the gold and silver in a
lead button obtained by the ordi-
nary fire assay, it being possible
to treat as much as so to go GIN.
of ore in this way. The lead
button is then dissolved in nitric
acid, diluted, and the tellurium
precipated by means of lead foil,
the deposit thus obtained being
cleared and tested by concentrat-
ed sulphuric acid. If tellurium
is present a deep violet color is
produced that disappears on fur
ther heating. Manganese per-
oxide, when present, sometimes
interferes with this test.
Life of timber inside a mine

Decision Relating to
Placer Claims

The following decision relating
to placer mining claims has been
handed down by Justice Willis
Van Devanter Of the supreme
court of the United States, JAN
uary 20, 1912, affecting two plac-
er mining claims in Alaska. This
is the case of Frank H. Waskay
and others, petitioners, against
Joseph Hammer and others, and
brings out three different points
to which the attention of the local
government officials is called.
They are:
1. No deputy mineral survey
or has the legal right to locate a
mining claim, and if he attempts
to do so, his actions shall be alb
solutely void. 2. The discovery
of minerals within a mining locat-
ion later than the date of location
but prior to any adverse claim
being filed renders the location
valid. 3. When a location in
cludes more than twenty acers
and the locator later contracts
his lines to include only twenty
acers and leaves outside of the
new boundaries his discovery
point, the location becomes

by reputation as centers of musical
