SHIP OREFROM
LITTLE BUTTE
Dow in Large Body of High
High Grade Ore--First
Shipment.

Elk City News = The second
shipment of ore from the Little
Butte mine, owned by Geo. Wild
meyer, and situated on Deadwood
mountain, about 6 miles southeast
of Elk City, has now commenced.
The first shipment was made
to the Washoe smelter at Ana
conda some time ago, and the re-
turns were very satisfactory. Last
year small one-stamp mill was
placed upon the property, and the
second class ore put through.
While the mill saving was good
the capacity was not large enough
to justify running all ore through
and the high grade is now sorted
and sent to the smelter.
The ore being shipped at pres
ent is taken from winze put
down about 600 ft. from the por-
tai of the main adit In the bot
tom of the Wine the vein is 4 tt
wide of first-class ore.
The Little Butte is opened BY
an adit, in 1000 it,, with severa
cross-cuts. 1t cuts three distlnc
ore shoots, all showing good mill
ing ore. The first shoot is il
about 200 feet, where the pa,
shoot is not very wide but is hlgl
grade. The second is where tn
work is being done, and the shoe
here is very large and has no
been opened up to its full size
, The third shoot is at the breas
of the adit, and is probably tn
the largest shoot, but the exten
is not known as the face is stl
in ore. The shoot has a goo
u depth, ,and the ore is of differef
character from the Other shoo1
y carrying more sulphides.
1t is not known whether MOI
~ than one car will be shipped
e this time or not, but the ore WI
be taken out as development
l. done.

of their actors with several weeks

RECORD OF
TEN YEARS
Idaho Supreme Court Has
Never Drawn Deficiency
Warrant.

The supreme court of the state
is the only department of the stats
government which has never
drawn a deficiency warrant since
it has been in existence. In 1908
there were only 72 opinions hand
ed down by the court and in 1912
there were POI opinions delivered.
The amount of money received by
the clerk in 1903 was only $733..
Is, or about one-half what it took
to run the office of the clerk Of
the supreme court. Last year the
amount collected by the clerk in
charges was $3929.75, or double the
amount of money which it takes
to run the office.
In 1903 there were five district
judges in the state and the appro-
priation given them by the legis-
lature was $4,000; in 1912 there
were IL district judges and the
amount appropriated for them by
the legislature was $171 $50. This
year the deficiency in the appro-
priation for the district judges will
amount to about $4,000. The SUI
preme court has only had three
judges since the beginning of the
state.
Supreme Court Record.
Since 1903 the personnel of the
! court has been unchanged and
Chief Justice Ailshie, Justice Ste
wart and Justice Sullivan have
had control over the expenditure
: of the monies appropriated for that
branch of the state government.
t There has always been a balance
e on hand in the fund. Although
: the number of district judges in
the state has more than doubled
e the three judges of the supreme
T. court have done the work which
n is brought up from all of the low
e er courts. The appropriations
= for the districts courts have more
e than trebled while the supreme
t. court appropriations have only in
n creased $4,000 in the past Il
II years.

SUIT.

h. M. Il. Hyslop and j. n.
Shinn, professors Of the State
University lost out last week
when the supreme court refused
to make a recommendary judg-
ment against the state for salary,
said to be due them when they
were dismissed from service be-
fore their contracts had expired.
Hyslop was professor of agro-
nomy of the university and de-
manded Judgment for $14O0 from
the state for salary due until the
expiration of his contract with the
board. The claim was disallowet
by the board of regents, the state
board of examiners, and yester
day by the supreme court. The
action would have had to be tax
en- before the legislature of thu
state, but the court would no
recommend that the Legislative
body give the matter considera
tion in any way.
All of the justices held that tn
board had right to summarily dis
miss any officer of the institution
whenever the interests Of tn
school demanded it. r. M. Nc

the rigM thing?
1T should always be remembered
that different classes OF mail should
not be mixed. II books, which are
third class, are sent with fruit, which
is fourth class, the charge should al
ways be for third-class matter.
