The Milk In the cocoanut.

: A correspondent of the New York
Sun, referring to an inquiry respecting
the origin and meaning of the saying,
"This accounts for the milk in the CO.
coanut," says that an answer may be
found In the practice remarked by
Captain Marryat in one of his novels
on the occasion of a ships visiting the
West Indies. as follows:
On the ships arrival the bumboat
women would flock to its side, plenti-
fully supplied with cocoanuts, which
were eagerly sought by the sailors, and
on the occasion described by the author
one of the ships officers had selected a
cocoanut, and the bumboat woman
eagerly interfered to prevent his re-
ceiving the one he had selected, saying,
"That not for officer; that for sailor"
The officers curiosity being aroused,
he asked for a cocoanut ''for officer"
and at the same time insisted upon get
ting the one originally selected by him.
On opening the two the one "for Off
Ger" was found to be in its natural
state, containing the so called milk,
whereas the one "for sailor" was found
| to have had its milk removed and the
place thereof supplied by rum. Further
examination disclosed that all of the
cocoanuts FOR sailor" had thus been
| treated

Houses Keen London Warm.

The temperature of the air in Lon
don is raised by the artificial sources
of heat existing in it no less than two
degrees on the annual mean above
that of it's immediate vicinity. Mr..
Howard, in his work on climate, has
fully established this fact by com
parison Of long series of observations
made at Plaistow. Stratford and Tot
tenham Green, all within five miles of
London, with those made at the apart
ments of the Royal society in London
and periodically recorded in "Philo-
sophical Transactions" In explanation
Mr.. Howard refers to the heat in
duced by the populations dust as the
temperature of hive of beesI and
from the domestic fires and from the
foundries, breweries, steam engines
and other manufactories.-John Timb's

BeadIe and Minister.

A story is told about west country
minister and his beadle, showing the
familiarity that used to exist between
the minister and his man. The minis
ter and John had got into an argument,
and it became so hot that John was
like to lose his temper. The minister
naturally tried to throw oil on the trou-
bled waters.
Man, john" he said, 'it's a good
thing we are not all of one mind. For
example, had everybody been Of my
mind everybody would have been
wanting my good wife Janet"
Every true" replied John little sur
ly, ''for if everybody had been in the
same mind as me naebody would hae
ta'en her ava. She may max a guild
enough minister's wife. but she would
hae made a puir show aside my Jean!'

MILL START
IN FEW DAYS
Will Only Amalgamate at
Present.

Things are moving along fast
at the Mineral Zone group, and
the hoist is expected to be in
place in a few days. The vein
is holding its own as the drift is
driven east.
The old Buster mill has been
overhauled and will be ready to
commence treating ore about the
first Of the week. For the pres
ent the ore will only be treated
by amalgamation, and the tailings
will be held for future treatment,
Geo. S. Backus will have charge
Of the mill.

mon affords a better field than
that now proven, and the fact
that experts are moving in there
ahead of the railroad would seem
to justify such a view. Many
mining men Of prominence have
asserted that the upper Salmon
river country affords a mining
field that will some day outrank
the Occur d'Alenes as a silver
lead producer. while a big new
gold production will also be real
lied. The absence of transpor-
tation facilities has denied open

time.

WORKING ON
BIG CREEK
Much Activity in Southern
Part of County.

From Allen Stonebraker, who
has just come out from the Big
creek and Crooked creek country
is is learned that there is much
activity on the different proper
ties in that section of the
county.
The mill Oh the Eagle mine at
Edwardsburg is now running,
and is expected to continue for
the summer. The Moore mine
near the Eagle, is working, and
is under option to eastern parties.
The Jensen brothers are work
ing the Yellow Jacket group on
Crooked creek, and are getting
good results. They have done
considerable development work
the past winter.
Chas. Mclaughlin is working
on his claims, and taking ou
some fine ore. -
On the claims owned by Mr.
Stonebraker, a large amount o.
work has been done, and thu
small mill has been running
steadily and produced a nice
amount of bullion. Mr.. Stone
broker is out for supplies anC
will return in a few days.

Make New Find.

w. F. Johnson and Bob Hiland
have made a new discovery on
Galena creek. The vein uncov-
cred carries good values, but not
enough work has been done to
determine to what extent the ore
shoot will go. The claims are
well situated, and a road runs
nearly to the property. More
work will be done, and the vein
uncovered for some distance.

NOW INVADE
SALMON RIVER
Mining Men Are Early in the
Field.

The Lewiston Tribune says:
An important report dealing with
the development of the great
central Idaho country has ema-
mated from Salmon City to the
effect that some of the largest
operators in the United States
now have experts in the district
between Salmon City and Golf,
along the main stream of the
Salmon river. This is the dis
trict traversed by the surveys of
the Pittsburg & Gilmore road
which has built to Salmon with
the announced purpose Of contln-
uing on down the river to Lewis
ton. In connection with the re-
ports, it has been disclosed that
while Salmon City, through other
varied resources, was an attrac-
tive field for the new road, inves-
tigation had been previously
made that showed the railroad
people there was an extensive
mining tonnage near that city.
The operation of the road has
amply justified all predictions in
that regard, the fact being that
the mines are opening up in q
manner that has caused a sensa-
tion in Salt Lake mining circles.
where considerable mining stock
is held. The view appears to be
held quite firmly at Salmon thai

PIacinu of Buildinu Stone.

1t is, generally speaking, the rule of
masons that stone used in building
should be 60 placed that it will be as
it lay in it's natural bed when quarried.
This familiar rule is not, however,
always to be depended upon and in
many cases needs to be supplemented
with other precautions. There are
three planes Of fracture known to
quarrymen. The rift" is the direction
In which stone splits most easily; the
"grain" that which is next easiest; the
"head" that which offers greatest re-
sistance. In a paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture. the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head But in a quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane Of the rift; hence the i'm
perfection Of the ordinary rule for
placing stone in building.-Chicago Rec

To the Voters OF Idaho County

The primary election to be held
July 30th, is of vital Importance
to every Idaho county voter, as
the result Of the primary will to
some extent determine the future
status of the county as to whe-
ther it shall remain intact, or be
divided into two or three small
counties. Regardless of politics,
every citizen of the county is in
terested in this important matter
and should register at once in
order to vote at the coming pri-
mary election. The old regis
tration is void, and every voter
is required to register whether
he has previously registered or
not.
If the county division question
is not settled in the primaries, it
will be disturbing element in
the general election to be held in
| November, and also in the next
session Of the legislature. We
believe that a large majority of
the voters of Idaho county are
opposed to any division whatever
at this time, and by voting for
those candidates on the legisla-
tive ticket who are known to be
opposed to division, and who are
openly pledged to oppose any di-
vision, the matter can be settled
and anti-division candidates nom-
= mated on both the republican
and the democratic tickets, thus
ending the fight, and taking it
out of the politics of this county
for the present at least.
! The candidates who are known
to be opposed to any division at
this time, and who are pledged
g to oppose division are:
, Republican ticket-State sena-
= tor: H. E. Sweet, ]. Loyal Ad-
l kison. Representatives.. L.
Harchelrode, Floyd Church.
Democratic ticket-State sena-
!, tor: w. N. Scales. Represen-
: tative-Geo. w. Stephens, Arthur
P. Mundt.
Those candidates who are not
openly pledged against division
), are undoubtedly in favor of di
= vision.
{ This is the first opportunity
that the citizens of Idaho count!
. have had of voting upon county
= division, and a full expression il
" desired. Let every voter who i
" opposed to the division of oil
Idaho county into two or thre
D ,, counties, register without delay
N and cast his ballot on July 3Otl
= accordingly.

Five Months Observation
by Expert.
HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE
Thinks Well Of the Salmon
River Country.
Dixie, July q.

Leslie P. Lehman, a mining
expert of Baltimore and Wash
jngton, passed through Dixie to-
day, on his return to the east.
For the past five months Mr..
Lehman has been stationed at
the camp of the Majestic G. & S.
M. Co., in whose interests he
was sent west and whose large
holdings lay about four miles
from Dixie.
Mr.. Lehman has established
a well equipped assaying and
testing laboratory at the Majestic
camp which has given him an
opportunity to become familiar
with the chemistry of the ore in
the immediate neighborhood.
Mr.. Lehman is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects of the
district, but believes that better
results could be accomplished by
vein sinking rather than by tun-
neling.
The tremendous overturning
which occurred in these noun
tains during the glacial period
has so disrupted the stratifica-
ton of the lodges that it is al
most impossible to prospect the
veins to any great extent. But
these rich veins of highly min
eral wealth of the precious
metals which are encountered as
; well as through the outcroppings
manifest the evidence of i'm
mense lodes of gold bearing ore
which is mostly. a clean iron
ouartzite, and therefor holding
the gold in a free, uncombineo
state. ~
The lodes and seams have beer
broken off by dikes of quartz
diorite, siliceous and micaceou'
shist and granitetiferous quartz
ite slightly mineralized will
pyrites and galena, carrying
small values of gold and silver
but not in sufficient quantity tt
be of commercial value. Thes
dikes are often of great lengtl
and thickness.
While here Mr.. Lehman pai'
several visits to the Salmon rive
and was charmed with the sceni
beauty presented there. H
thinks with the completion o
the railroad through this territor
that the Dixie district should at
tract deserved attention to tn
safe and sane investor.
Mr.. Lehman intends to spea
a good word to his investin
friends of the east and begs t
thank his many friends here fo
the courtesies extended durin
his sojourn in the Idaho district

INDIAN TELLS OF BURDENS
DR.. Eastman Speaks to White
Men on Their Philosophy.

Or. Charles a. Eastman, the full-blooded
Sioux who has discarded his name Of
"Ohiyesa." told the members Of the Camp
Fire club at their "buckskin dinner" at
the Hotel Astor last night. just what he
though of white mans philosophy" For
the philosophy itself he had nothing but
the highest praise, but he declared that
white men almost never practised 1t.
Dividing the Indian into four classes
the original Indian Of America, the transit
tlon or trafficking period Indian. the reser-
vation Indian, and now the new Indian
VINO was TO come out of all this develop
ment-Dr Eastman pointed out how the
original teachings of the work for others"
spirit which was inculcated in the Indian
nature had been the very means of his
downfall at the hands Of the white man.
After the treaty of 1868, DR.. Eastman
said, the government gave to the Indians
absolute ownership with all rights in a
certain territory in the black Hills but in
a very few years gold was discovered In
those hills. and the pioneer prospectors
ignored the solemn word of their govern
ment to get possession of claims in the
supposedly Indian owned ground.
AS instances of the coming Indian, he
pointed to Senator owen and to Senator
Clapp, and he expressed the fervent hope
that this new Indian would be able to lead
the country "out of the political dilemma
It is now in."
DR.. Eastman was dressed in full Indian
costume and he was surrounded at the
guest table by men in camp attire, among
them Ernest T. Seton, who presided, Dar
