turesome travellers. There could
be but one reasonable conclusion
reached after a thorough inves-
tigation of the situation, and that
was that the young men had de-
termined to save time by con-
structing craft of their own in
which to cross the stream, then
badly swollen by the flood waters
and that they had lost their lives
in the attempt.
After a thorough search was
made for the bodies, Louie
Howard drove the team out to
Adams Camp and notified
Grangeville of the sad occurrence.

A Heavy Collar.

The heaviest burden which the French
president has to bear during his tenure
of Office is the collar which he wears
as grand master of the Legion of Hon
or, an Office which is always filled by
the ruler of France. The collar con-
sists Of medals, each the size Of
franc, engraved with the arms Of the
principal French towns and Joined to-
gether by massive chain, the links of
which are fashioned to represent bun
dies of lictors' rods. Attached to the
chain is q cross close on two feet In
length. AS the decoration is made
throughout of solid gold, its weight is
enormous, and diminutive presidents,
such as NM. Thiers and Loubet, found
it almost unwearable. Fortunately the
president is not often, called upon to
cumber himself with 1t. The only oc-
casion when M. Loubet wore his grand
masters collar appears to have been
the day he. was invested. = London

Drink Pure Water and Avoid Sickness

Impure water causes typhoid
fever and other diseases. There
is no excuse for an impure water
supply in Idaho.
1t is the duty of the proper
authorities of every town to in
stall a pure water system.
1t is the duty of every citizen
for the protection of his family
to insist that pure water shall
be provided in his locality.
Surface wells are dangerous in
towns where there is no sewer
system and in which dry earth
closets are not exclusively used.
Open irrigation bitches are
dangerous as a source Of drink
ing water.
Streams used for drinking pur-
poses should be protected from
human and other contamination.
The best water supply is one
taken from springs and conveyed
in pipes.
If springs cannot be secured,
the supply should, if possible, be
piped from mountain streams
which are carefully protected
from contamination.
Filteration through sand filter
furnishes an additional safeguard
and can be inexpensively install
ed.
Artesian wells are usually free
from dangerous contamination.
Water used for culinary pur-
poses should be boiled if there is
any reason to suspect its purity
The State Board of Health vii
investigate complaints relating
to impure water supplies IN any
locality in the state.

Doc Heroes,

At a recent dog show in London one
department had row of kennels in
which was exhibited a line of "dog
heroes" dogs that had served human
ity in a noble way. These canine nota-
bles proved to be the great feature of
the show. Among these, all authent-
Gated cases of noble conduct, were a
Scotch collie that had saved a child
from being run over In the street; an
Irish terrier that had guarded the
body of an old woman who had died
from exposures; collie that had saved
a child from drowning and an Aire-
dale that had saved his master from
being stabbed by Norwegian sailor.

GET GOOD ORE
in PENN.DIXIE
Strike Made in the Lower
Tunnel.
viii Give Stopping Ground to Run Mil
for Sometime.

Word was received this week
that ore had been struck in the
lower tunnel of the Penn-Djxie
mine at Dixie. This is a very
important find for the company
as the lower or No. 8 tunnel
taps the vein at a good depth,
and also shows that the rich
shoot of ore found on the levels
above goes down.
It is understood, that it is
Manager Gayton's intention after
drifting on this ore a short dis
tance to make a raise that can
be used as a working shaft, and
then sink.

Taking Out Ore at the Last Chance.

Larsen and Wilson, owners of
the Last Chance mine, are taking
out ore, and will start their mill
in a few days. The ore is being
taken from a tunnel that was run
to pick up the ore shoot on the
east end. The vein here is about
8 ft. wide, and is all good milling
ore.
After this ore is put through
it is the intention to drive the
main tunnel ahead, and get
under this shoot, when it is ex-
pected that a large body of ore
can be opened, and the work
done to better advantage.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Joplin mines in 1912 produced
AZ per cent Of the total domestic
production from zinc ores.
Gasoline production from nat
ural gas in the Santa Maria field,
California, is about $500 gal. per
day, and the total made in the
state from this source is probably
11,000 gal. per day. This guam
tity will be largely augmented
when the new plants under con-
struction are in operation.
Asbestos is the most important
fire-proofng material known. It's
fibrous structure adapts it to a
wide range of applications from
woven fabrics, such as theatre
curtains and articles of clothing,
to asbestos shingles, stucco,
plaster, asbestos wood and
various. other forms of building
material that render structures
thoroughly fire-proof. Its light
ness, strength, durability, and
insulating properties against heat
and electricity give it special ad-
vantages for use in constructing
cars and electric motor subways.
Bornite, which has long been
supposed to be one Of the char
acteristic products of secondary
enrichment, in reality proves to
be primary in the majority of it's
occurrences, and its rather COM
mon occurrence in an enriched
zone is found to be mainly as
residual masses which are under
going alteration. 1t is formed at
about the same period of solidifi-
cation as primary chalcopyrite
and primary chalcocite, with
which it is most commonly asso-
ciated. Accordingly, it usually
develops in irregular-shaped
masses, frequently intergrown
with these other sulphides, ex-
istipg either by themselves or
filling interstitial spaces between
grains of gangue or pyrite, and
other ore minerals like sphalerites
