The distance is III miles. The scouts
camped at the springs that night
and enjoyed a bath thru the courtesy
of Mr.. Anderson. The next day they
marched in from the springs in fonf

Have Been Located.

the scene of the discovery and we're
10 we'll impressed with the surface
Indications that they proceeded to
locate claims in that vicinity and
dp-to-date something like 100 loca-
tions have been made.
Mr.. Small is so enthusiastic in the
belief that he has struck something
really good that he and his associa.
tes are arranging to develop the
prospect at once to sufficient depth
to determine the real value of the
property. The nature of the lead
is such that it can be followed for
considerable depth at very little
expense.
1t is the general opinion of the
local mining men who have visited
the place that there is we'll defined
lead of gold bearing rock, which
will undoubtedly increase in rloh-
ness as 1t goes down, and Mr..
Small and his associates are being
warmly congratulated over the pros
poets they have of becoming the
owners of a property which will in
time become a great wealth pro-
ducer. If their hopes are realized
it means not only great deal to
these men, but to the others who
have located adjoining claims and
to Montpelier in general.

HAINES APP pkRENTLY
WINS BY 81 VOTES

More than two weeks have passed
since the primary election and still
the republicans OF Idaho do not
really know who their candidate for
governor is. However, the official
returns from the various counties as
unofiicially reported in the Boise
papers give the nomination to John
M. Haines by a plurality of So over
NClagstone. As the figures published
in the Boise papers last Sunday did
not include the vote on three or four
small precincts, there Ia possibility
of Halnes' plurality beng reduced,
if not wiped out entirely.
Wednesday was the day set by
law for the state board of canvassers
to meet and officially canvass the
certified returns from the counties.
Upon convening the board found
that the returns from nine counties
had not yet been received by the
secretary of state, and consequently
the board had to adjourn until the
reports from the delinquent counties
arrived.
Owing to the extra work in com
pletlng the abstract Of the assessment
roll to be forwarded to the State
Auditor, County Auditor Broom
head did not get the certified re-
turns from this county made up
until Wednesday night. They would
not reach Boise until today, wher
the state board will make the efii9
ial count, providing he returns fr9n
the other delinquent counties hkv'
been received. So it is barely pos
sible that the Official result of tn
election will be made known to
morrow.
The vote as given IN last Sunday
Statesman is as follows:
uaines, total frs at and secan
cbpice 12.sls.

No little amount of excitement
was created in Montpelier this week
when it became known that b. +.
Small had discovered some exceed
ingly rich gold bearing rock, up
Montpelier canyon abou, ten miles
east of town. --~~
7 The discovery was made by Mr..
Small two weeks ago while he was
out hunting. He brought in sever
al pieces of surface rock and sent
them to Boise chemist to be as
sayed. " While the rock looked
good to Mr.. Small, he was greatly
surprise when the returns from the
assayer showed $4.l3 in gold to
the ton and 40 cents in silver.
Mr.. Small, with Z. l.. McClave
and Phil Thomas, who are associat-
ed with him, being satisfied that
they had proposition worth in
vestigating, went down on the lead
about two feet. From this point
they sent more samples to the as
sayer which gave returns of Sl4.3s
in gold and 81. 20 IN silver.
They Immediately located seven
claims and then made known the
result of their assays to quite a
number of their friends. Quite a

CANDIDATES NAME
GENITAL COMMITTEES

The republican and democratic
in Bear Lake county met
at Paris Wednesday afternoon and
in accordance with the provisions
of the direct primary law, selected
the county central committees.
With two or three exceptions the
of both parties were all
present.
While no designations were fled
Wednesday, it is generally under
stood that DIR. Poynter will tender
his resignation as candidate for re-
preventative on the democratic tic
ket, and e. A. Burrell, republican
candidate for the same Office, will
also withdraw. If these men decide
to withdraw, their designations will
probably be filed with the COM
mittees when they meet at Paris on
Saturday, Aug. "a, for the purpose
of organizing.
The friends of both men are try
ing to persuade them to stay on the
tickets, but in the event that they
do not, the committees will probab.
ly endeavor to fill both vacancies
with Montpelier men.
Some of the democratic friends
of Fred Cruikshank want him to 60
on the ticket, but Fred has been in
the race twice for representative and
feels as though two defeats ere
enough for one man to bear.
The republicans seem to be short
on legislative material in Montpelier
Or rather, they have plenty of good
material, but none of them have
legislative aspirations, and for this
reason the committee may have to
go outside of Montpelier to select q
candidate. in the event that Mr..
Burrell withdraws from the ticket.
However, if he listens to the wishes
of his many friends, Mr.. Burrel
will stay on the ticket.
Following is the personnel of thu
