RICH STRIKE AT KETCHUM, IDA.
Abandoned Mine is Yielding Big Mon.
ey.-Three Carloads of Ore
Net $1.4OO Per Car.
(Pocatello Tribune)

E. H. Stenton and wife returned
yesterday from Bellevue where Mr..
Stenton was called to look after some
property interests. While in Belle
vue they were the guests of D. b.
Smith, one of tn owners of the newly
discovered mines that promises to
make Bellevue one of the greatest
camps of Idaho Recent shipment or
three carloads of ore from this prop
erty netted the owner $1400 a car
and new vein of brittle silver that
has been developed assays $500 a
ton. At present the owners are not
shipping, preferring to develop the
mammoth vein that has been cross
cut for SO feet from the foot wall
while the hanging wall is yet undis-
covered. j.
While this property in the literal
sense of the word is comparatively
new, it is really an old mine, having
been discovered fifteen years ago. At
that time the owners, thinking they
were on the ledge, drifted on the
foot wall distance of $50 feet when
the mine was abandoned as worth
less. Messers. Smith and Askoosh
took up the mine and readily dis
covered that the ledge was hanging
over the tunnel. To prove this as
sertion they put in one shot at the
mouth of the tunnel and uncovered
, the ore. This ledge opened for a
distance of ESQ feet in length, carry
ing extreme high grade milling ore
which will net the owners $1400 a
car. How much further the ledge
continues is indefinite, but that it is
over so feet wide is proven by the
cross cut that is being run to ;iter-
cept the hanging wall.
There are several other newly dis
covered producers in the Bellevue dis
trict. Among them being one owned
by Mr.. Plughoff Already this prop
erty has shipped several carloads,
netting the owners $1,000 car
Prospecting is being pushed with a
zeal, claims are being staked daily
and it is expected before spring min
ing boom such as will equal the eaf'v
days will again put Bellevue on the
map.
While in Bellevue Mr.. Stentor saw
the longest trainload of sheep leave
that station that ever went out of the
state of Idaho. Sixty-eight carloads
of lambs left for the eastern markets
to bring price of $S hundred. Be-
sides mining Bellevue is in the cen
ter of one of the largest stockraising
and agricultural districts of the state

Mr.. and Mrs. York Denton left
Wednesday night for visit in Oregon,

"BIG MAN. COMING.
Editor of Country Gentleman
Will Visit RichfieId.

W. S. Parkhurst, living northeast of
town, is expecting a visitor early in
May whose Importance and worth to
the Richfeld tract would be hard to
estimate at its real value. Some time
time ago, Mr.. Parkhurst, who is vivid
and picturesque 'word-slinger, wrote
letter to the Country Gentleman, the
great agricultural weekly, companion
of the Saturday Evening Post and the
Ladies Home Journal. The letter went
to the desk of Barton w. Currie, asso-
ciate editor, who was so impressed that
he has promised visit to Mr.. Park
hurst and to Richfield, when he comes
west in May. A first-hand acquaint-
ance with "the man on the soil, and
a glimpse into the mysteries and at
fractions of pioneering in irrigation, to
be carried sympathetically to the edit
orial desk of the greatest agricultural
publication in the world, is worth a lot
Editor Currie will find real welcome
waiting him here.

PASTURES THE HOPE
OF THE RICHFIELD IRA L
Dairy and Stock Industry Cannot Thrive Until There
Tame Grass for Cheap Summer Feed---Now Is
The Time to Make a Beginning

1t is suggested that there is nothing
that will be so helpful to the Richfeld
tract, either to the individual farm or
to the community, as the planting of
tame grasses for pasture this year.
While the native grasses are good for
late pasture, they being 80 hardy and
capable of enduring the drought, while
they cure standing as few of the cult
waited grasses ever do, still they are
not suitable for permanent pasture in
an irrigated country. 1t takes several
acres of sagebrush and native grass
pasture, to feed one COW or horse for a
summer; and even then, the feeding is
not good enough. An acre, or less than
an acre, of good tame pasture, would
care Jor grown animal for summer,
and so much better than the wild stuff.
If this section is to do what it should
do as dairy region, tame pasture is
imperative, as there are wild products
that can not be eliminated until the
ground is broken up and seeded to
grass, that will destroy the flavor of the

milk. Wild onions, and several other
noxious weeds, are to be found, and TO
attempt to make butter for the big,
critical, outside market with these
tastes in the product would ruin the
Richfield reputation beyond repair.
Some have proposed to clear off most
of the brush, leaving the native grasses
to stand, without plowing, and then
seed and disk the ground for tame grass
that would eventually supplant the nat
i've grass. This would give pasture the
first year, and would enable the ground
to be well irrigated at once, without
washing away the soil. This has been
practiced quite extensively in some
parts of the state, with good results.
1t would enable the preparation of a
good deal larger acreage this season, to
get ready for real dairying for next
year, and should be entirely successful.
But. however it is done, the tame
pastures will be the greatest necessity
of this tract, and they can't be put in
soon enough.

Spent Half A Million Less
Than In 1911.

An interesting pamphlet has just been put out by
Capt E. G. Davis, private secretary to Gov Hanes,
giving of the states finances affected by the
last legislature.
The total direct appropriations amount to 1868 600
more than in 1911 and 1922 but this includes the San
Francisco exposition fund of 500, 00O The educa
tiona institutions get SIT, ,048 20, and the penal and
charitable institutions $85 500 than last year, yet
the appropriations for the state departments and for
incidentals cut down $23 357 80 after pay
ing $50, 600 for the tax and utilities commission Bond
issues for $410,000 approved, and vetoed for
$l64,74 80: the bonds issued in 1911 amounted to
81 l61 800 or more than threequarters of million
dollars above this years issue.
The legislature may have played lot of Indifferent
politics result of the county division fights and the
senatorial election; but following the lead of the gov
ernors message it Has spent less money by half mil
lion dollars. That's something of recordl Also it
has provided for and paid for the utilities and tax
mission, the biggest in the history of the state

Several of these players appeared in
the first production put on this winter
by the club, all making decided hits in
their respective characters. The others
have been added with the knowledge
that they will add strength to the pro-
duction.
1t is expected that this play will add
neat sum to the fund for the % boost
ing" of Richfield. The first production
brought out large and profitable
house, but the expenses of stage, stage
fittings and other permanent fixtures
took a heavy toll from the proceeds.
AS all these are now on hand, and paid
for, this number should be much more
profitable.
Since the players give their time and
talents, without recompence of any
kind, it does not appear to be more
than fair that the general public should
be liberal in its patronage for so worthy
an object.

VILLAGE ELECTION.
Five Good Men Chosen, But One
Is Going Away.

One hundred and nine votes were cast
in the municipal election, out of lie
registered; and of the seven who did
not vote after registering, it is said
that all but one failed to vote because
they were really not entitled to register
and vote, or were away from home so
that they could not reach the polls. If
there is any other town in the state
that can show so large proportion of
actual voting to the total registration,
it is time to come forward with the
record.
The vote gave the five places on the
village board, to R. E. Mickelwait, NJ
R. Kays, w. A. Denecke, T. j. Byrne
and F. G. Lechleiter, by majorities
ranging from to % for all the candi-
dates on the two tickets. Mickelwait
and Kays had been filed as the mass
meeting nominees, along with Messrs
Lennon, Crothers and Garlock. When
the second ticket was filed, it was pro-
poposed to put in the names of Nickel
wait and Kays, but as the names could
not appear on two tickets, the second
ticket contained only the names of
Messrs. Denecke, Byrne and Lechleiter.
These three succeeded in getting good
majority over the other convention
nominees, and they with Kays and
Mickelwait will constitute the new
board.
1t is understood that Mr. Lechleiter
is going away, at once, to make his
home in Twin Falls; SO his place will
haye to be filled by the board.
In Gooding, the ticket in opposition
to F. R. Gooding won out by large
on every municipal Office. In
Shoshone, it was divided choice, with I
the anti-Gooding element. The fight
was made largely on old personalities,
and on the question of electric light
