Turks Picnic at Homo.


"Simple life' picnicking in the house
is thoroughly understood by the Turk.
The real old fashioned Turk indeed, as
Sir Charles Eliot shows, reveals his in
herited nomadic instincts by treating a
house merely. as a place to camp in.
Rooms are not assigned to special pur-
poses you sit in room and write
on your hand. When you are hungry
you call. A little table is brought in,
and you eat When you want to go to
bed a pile of rugs is laid in corner,
and you go to sleep on it." Then a
scene at Yildiz-secretaries working in
a red plush room furnished in Euro
pean style. ."Some were sitting curled
up in armchairs, with their inkpots
poised perilously on the arms, the idea
of having a writing table never hav-
ing come into their heads. Some were
squatting on the floor, eating with their
fingers off broad dishes placed on low
table. One was taking a siesta In the
corner."-St James Gazette.

AT the Last Chance Mine.

Messrs. Larsen & Wilson,
owners of the Last Chance group
are at present at work driving a
shallow tunnel to tap the north
end of the ore Shoot on the south
vein. The shoot was opened by
a long tunnel, but pitched SO
strong to the north that but little
ore could be extracted, and it is
the intention now to find the
north end with a view of sinking
on it. The mill has not been
started this spring, but it is the
intention to commence dropping
stamps soon.
The Last Chance has three
veins on their ground, and the
large one on which the mill is
built, is so base that but small
per cent of the values can be
saved by amalgamation.

To the Public.

In the past there has been
more or less misunderstanding
as to what the law requires in
regard to burning brush, logs
and slashing for the purpose of
clearing land; so for the benefit
of those who contemplate doing
burning this season l quote the
following from the Fallon Fire
Law: "The period from June J.
to Oct. 1, in each year shall be
known as the closed season, dur
ing which time it shall be un-
lawful for any camper, farmer,
logger or other individual, firm
or corporation, to set out or
cause to be set out, fires in slash
ings, down or fallen timber, or
on timber lands, for the purpose
of clearing lands of brush, grass
or other infamable material. +"
Now this does not mean that
there must not be any burning
done during this period, but the
law was enacted for the protec-
tion of the public against malici-
GUS individuals who have no re-
gard for the welfare of the
public, but care only for their
own Individual interests, and it
is required that application be
made and a permit secured in
writing or print.
| do not believe that any of
the people of this district are of
malicious intent; l believe that
each Individual feels an interest
in the welfare of his neighbor.
1t is my desire to help you III
every way that l can, and l res
pectfully request that yo coop
perate with me in carrying out
the provisions of the law.
RICHARD E. MOSES,
Deputy State Fire Warden.

Qisabused His Mind.

At London theater the other night,
when a well known actress was weep;
ing bitterly on the stage, sensitive
countryman burst into tears and wept
audibly. .
"What are you making that row
forw asked neighbor.
"Im thinking O. that poor creatures
Distress" was the reply.
What? Don't you know she's paid
EGO week to do that?"
"Eh? Twenty pounds week! Do
you mean to say her crying's not
real?"
"Of course not"
"Then all I've got to say Is she's a
deceitful hussy." 4. And up he got and
went out. Twenty pounds week.
he was muttering as he moved into the
street, "and to kick up all that row
too."-London Globe.

Ore Exposed by Cavi1g Of
Slopes.
Lower Levels VIII Be Opened at an
Early Date.

Work has commenced at the
Mineral Zone group, with a view
of putting this property in the
list of producers again. Mrs. M.
A. Parr, the owner, has small
force of men at work on the sur
face, filling in around the shaft
so that it can be held intact.
The slopes that were opened
last year are all caved, and the
ground has started to slip some
distance back of the vein, but at
present the ground at the shaft
has not moved.
At the east end of the stope
the cave has exposed consider
able ore of a value that can be
milled at a profit, and this will
be taken out before any attempt
will be made to get into the
lower workings.
AS to conditions on any of the
levels, it will not be known until
after the shaft has been un-
watered, but it is not supposed
that the ground has caved below
the ffty-foot level.
When the work was done last
year the vein on the hundred
foot level was never cross-cut tc
the hanging wall, and it is known
that there was good ore coming
in on this side of the vein, ano
this cross-cutting will be done
as soon as possible.
The cave has demonstrated
that the throw of the vein is
much heavier on the east enc
than on the west, and it now
looks like the work done on the
lower level has kept under the
dip of the ore, and it is possible
. that the rich shoot may be pickeC
up by cross-cutting to the south

erintendent, has in consequence;
the good will and loyalty of his
men.
Not so, however, with the boss
who knows it all, and is always
making the men do the work his
way. He soon earns the i'll will
of his men and they soon lack
interest in their work and the
company suffers.
Reductions in the cost of oper-
alton have, in many instances,
resulted from the adoption of
suggestions by miners. Probably
the manner of carrying out the
idea was not of the best, but the
basic idea was there for the man
with the better brain to elabo-
rate.
This same policy prevails all
the way up to the general man
ager. A good foreman will seek
the advice of his under bosses,
using or rejecting The opinions
or suggestions as his larger ex-
perience dictates. By such a
course bosses are induced to take
more interest in their work and
will give greater thought to the
work under their charge. Not
only this, but it infuses conf
dence in their own ability and
that of the men under them.

GrangeVilIe'S Horse Show.

From w. L. Sendker and Frank
Hye who were in Grangeville at
tending the horse show, it is
learned that the affair was a pro-
nounced success, and that it was
a treat to see so many fine horses
in Idaho county. There were
few horses from outside points
shown, as the railroads were
blocked by high water. The
weather was delightful and the
attendance all that could be de-
sired.

Severe Storms Last Week.

Last week was one of severe
storms, and in many places con-
siderable damage was done. In
the Elk City section no damage
was reported, and the high
water did not last long enough
to cause any inconvenience.
The snow has about all disap-
peared, and the road is now open
for wagon travel to Sites, the
road around old Baldy having
been broken out by Nick Bow
man, this week.
Reports from Lewiston are to
the effect that tie rivers have
fallen and no more danger is an
ticipated.

At the South Fork Mine.

The development work at the
South Fork mine is going along
at a good rate, and every indica-
tion points to the possibility of
picking up the vein and pay ore
soon.
The work is confined to the
lower tunnel, which is in about
500 it,, in which the vein was
lost last winter. From recent
surveys it is understood that the
vein should be cut in about 20
feet. The mill will not be start
ed before this work is completed.

Spokane Interstate Fair.

The new Premium List for the
Spokane Interstate Fair is out
and contains an unusually liberal
list of prizes. Some of the new
features are the Children's De-
partment, in which nearly $400
is offered, the Better Babies Con-
test for $500 in cash, and a gen.
erous list of cash and implement
prizes for exhibits from indivi-
dual farms and ranches. 1t is
surprising that more people in
this section do not compete at
this show, as the prizes are well
worth trying for.
We have received several
copies of this list and anyone
wishing same may get one at
! this office, or copy will be mailed
on request to the Fair Associa-
ton. We note that the fair is
to be held the week of Sept. Is,
two weeks earlier than usual.

Encouraging individuality in Miners,

1t has been demonstrated
many, many times that the good
boss is one that, instead of tell
ing his men how to do a certain
piece of work will ask them how
they are going to do it, prefac-
ing his request for knowledge
with some pleasant remark full
of good will, If he is a good
boss he will listen to what his
men propose to do, especially if
it is a difficult piece of ground
they are working, and will care
fully weigh what they suggest.
If he knows of no better way he
will let them do it their way,
even though it differs somewhat
from his. By so doing he can
feel assured that he has encour-
aged individuality in his men,
and will, in consequence, reap
the benefit. For it becomes a
matter of personal pride with
them to make good on their sug-
gestions. Such a boss. whether
he be shift boss, foreman or sup.

Iron Crown mine, in the New

The Iron Crown has been a
good producer in years past, but
Of late years the work has been
done under lease, and the pro-
duction has been small, owing to
the fact that the rich shoot of
ore was lost.

"Yes, men," replied the GIRL 'I'ye had
the sma'pox, the nirls, the blabs, the
scay, the kinkhost and the fever, the

and it is stated that better than
90 per cent was saved on the
plates. The mill was driven by
water power.
The work now to be done is to
sluice off the top gravel and soil
with a view of finding the pay
shoot of the vein. 1t is stated
by parties who are conversant
with the ground that the top
gravel will pay we'll to sluice.

sideratlon therefor the first
owner agrees to allow the loca-
tion to lapse for the current year
with the understanding that the
adjoining owner will relocate it
in the names of both parties as

Garnets are generally classes
as precious stones, and a fine
gem garnet may be worth from
SIS to $25 a carat, according to
variety and size, but it is not
necessarily true that the owner
of a garnet mine is a millionaire
because his mine produces gar
nets by the ton. In fact. the
bulk of the garnets produced are
measured by the ton, but these
of inferior quality are used for
abrasive purposes. In 1912 the
production of abrasive garnet,
according to the United States
Geological Survey, amounted to
A, 1872 short tons, valued at $137,-
300, so that the average price
for a ton of garnets was not
quite $33, or considerably less
than double the price of a ton of
hay.
