Road to Hot Springs.

A wagon road is now being
constructed from the Harsh
ranch, up Red river to the Hot
Springs. This road has long
been needed to this famous re-
sort, and it is to be hoped that it
can be finished, in time for the
summer travel. Formerly the
road went over the mountain by
way of the Alberta, and was
very rough. The road is being
put in by the county, the forest
service-and popular subscription.

Indicted for Raising Wages.

President John P. White and
eighteen other officials of the
United Mine Workers of America
were indicted in the federal
court at Charleston, w. Va, on a
charge Of violating the Sherman

defendants conspired with the
coal operators of western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Hi

Virginia coal fields SO as to pre-
vent it's competition with the
other four states in the western
market.

At the South Fork.

At the South Fork mine they
are getting the mill in shape to
start crushing ore by next Mon
day. The ore to be put through
the mill will be taken from the
Stowell tunnel. There is con-
siderable ore in the slopes above
the old Espey tunnel, and this
will be drawn on as needed.
1t is stated that after a careful
survey it is found that at the
point where the vein was lost
in doing development in the
lower tunnel. last winter, that
the tunnel is so far from the vein
that no attempt will be made to
cross-cut back to it, but that
work will be started where the
vein was crossed. 1t will prob
ably take several weeks before
this tunnel gets under the ore
shoot.
j. T. ONO, secretary of the
company is now in charge of the
work, and will keep the develop
ment going and the mill running
at the same time.

neers all over the country will
remember her as Miss Manuel
of Mt. Idaho, who suffered such
a narrow escape when a child
during the outbreak of the Nez
Perce Indians in 1877. Stories
have been written of the escape
from the Indians and is thrilling.
She was the daughter of the late
Jack Manuel who lived in Mt:
Idaho in the early days.
The deceased was born at War
rens As years ago and resided at
Grangeville until 1908 when with
her husband and children she re-
moved to Goldendale. The fam
lily still survive her. She is also
survived by a sister, Mrs. William
Bowman, of Grangeville.

States Should Own their Own Soil;

With the adoption of a declara-
tion of principles and the selec-
tion of officers the Salt Lake con-
ference of western governors ad-
journed. The statefhent of what
the governors believed should be
the policy of the national govern
ment was in part as follows:
That as rapidly as possible
the states become prepared to
take over the work Of conserva-
ton and the federal government
withdraw it's bureaus from the
field. The permanent withdrawal
of any lands from entry and sale
we believe contrary to the spirit
of. the ordinance Of 1787 and we
urge that such lands be returned
to entry.
"Dilatory action on the part of
the executive departments of the
government in passing title to
purchasers of public lands is un-
fair to the states as it permits
purchasers to occupy lands with
out paying taxes.
Homestead entry within for
est reserves shoulb be permitted
it the same manner as on resefv-
ed lands, subject only to protests
where lands selected are heavily
timbered. That the government
grant to the public 5 per cent of
the remaining lands to the state
for school lands and for the pur-
pose of building public highways.
"That mineral lands now with
held from entry or classified al
prohibitive prices, be reopenec
at nominal prices"

Vital Statistics.

Idaho has model law for the
registration of births and deaths.
Under this law the state is di-
vided into registration districts
each with a local registrar in
charge.
Physicians and midwives must
report a birth to the registrar
within ten days of its occurrence.
Deaths must be reported by
the undertaken or person acting
as such. Nobody may be buried
without first filing a death certi-
ficate and obtaining a burial per-
nit.
If your doctor has not regis
tered the birth, he has done your
child an injustice which it may
be impossible to remedy later.
Breeders Of fancy livestock are
careful to have their animals re-
corded at birth. Idaho has done
this for her babies. Surely they
are as deserving of this consid-
Grafton as is the pure bred beast
of the farm.

A PeriIous Business.

Taking young geese, on the island Of
Roma, in the outermost Hebrides, is a
most perilous business, though large
captures are occasionally made. A
crew recently returned with a bag Of
2,200 birds, which found ready sale at
Ness. The men were lowered over the
face of the cliffs, which are 400 to 600
feet sheer to the sea. They then las
soed. the birds out of their nests by
means Of fishing rod with a noosed
string at the end.

GOOD SHOWING
On KIRK'S FORK
Eureka Group Has Body Of
Fine Ore.
Development Work to Be Done the
Coming Summer.

The Eureka group of claims,
situated on Kinks Fork, about
two miles east of Elk City, is one
of the fine showings in this dis
trict. The owner, Jas. H. Nc
Kinnon, has done a great deal
of surface work, and in all of the
cuts and shallow shafts has good
ore.
The vein is about four feet
wide, and is very strong and
regular, and can be traced for
some distance. The values seem
to be very evenly distributed in
the vein, and some free gold can
be seen by the naked eye: The
quartz is of the same general
character found in the district,
carrying hemitite and sulphides.
The location of the Eureka
group is one that makes it very
desirable property, as it can be
opened to a depth of 600 ft. by
tunnel driven on the vein. At
the portal of the tunnel good
water power can be secured,
that will operate a mill the best
part of the year. The surface is
we'll covered with timber, and
it is easily accessible by wagon
road.
1t is Mr.. McKinnon's intention
to do considerable development
work on it this summer, and
open it up to some depth.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Residue from the large num-
ber of mills treating copper ores
in the United States is said to
contain metal of more value than
has been paid shareholders of
the various companies in divi-
dends.
Leaching copper ore at the
Braden mine, Chile, consists
briefly in manufacturing sui
phuric acid in a contact plant,
teaching, and precipitation of the
metal by an electric current.
Essentially this process is being
used at the Bullwhacher mine at
Butte, and one or two other
plants in Montana.
Roasting lead ores to a COM
plete transposition of the lead
sulphide to the oxide or sulphate
form is practically impossible in
any commercial type of furnace.
A hand worked reverberatory
will, under special conditions,
be able to reduce galena to as
low as 1.5 per cent sulphur.
None of the ordinary mechanical
furnaces work we'll on roasting
galena, as the charge becomes
too sticky. The Dwight-Lloyd
sintering machine is, in some
cases, able to reduce certain
material from 9 to 1 per cent
sulphur.
The Assuan. dam, across the
River Nile is Egypt, is primarily
for irrigation purposes. 1t is
stated that the Egyptian Irriga-
ton department proposes to use
the water flowing through the
dam for generating electric
power. During five months in
the autumn and winter, water is
accumulated in the reservoir. 1t
is estimated that 100000 hp.
could be generated by turbines
and electric generators. The
power produced is to be employed
in manufacturing chemical fer
tilizers from atmospheric nitro
gen. In 1912, $3,250, 1000 was
spent on fertilizers, $4,000 out of
1 10000 tons imported being nit
rate.

Death Of an Old Timer.

Meadows Eagle: In our last
issue we announced that Charlie
Braughn was seriously i'll at the
home of A. R. Krigbaum. We
did not then think he was near
the end Of life. Sunday evening
the word went forth that he was
dead. Following an afternoon,
most of which was spent in his
easy chair on the porch, he re-
tired to his room and bed, where
perfectly conscious and without
pain he calmly closed his eyes in
the last long sleep and passed
into the great beyond. He was
"a years and 2 months old.
Thus is gone from among US a
familiar figure. Thus passed
away one of the pioneers of
Idaho-a man who for fifty years
has been well-known character
in this part of the state and who
was among the early miners in
the Warrens mining camp. He
had no blood relatives in this
part of the world, but friends
and brothers of the Masonic
order gathered in large numbers
to pay the last tribute Of respect
to the memory of one whom no
man knew but to respect. His
body was laid away with Masonic
honors on Tuesday in the ceme-
terry north of town.
Charlie IBraughn was born in
Germany and came to America
while yet young man. He
joined the early argonauts who
in the early COS blazed the trail
into the mining camps at Mt.
Idaho and Warrens. He engaged
in mining for number of years
retiring some 10 or IL years
ago with sufficient of this world s
wealth to keep him in comfort
the remainder Of his days. His
life was active and useful. In
the early days of the states
history he came in touch with
many prominent men and he
numbered among his friends
some of the historical characters
of former days. He joined the
joined the Masonic lodge at Elk
City, over 80 years ago, trans
ferring his membership to Weiser
about the time he took up his
home in Meadows. For the last
ten or twelve years he has lived
a retired life in his comfortable
home on the Clay estate immedi-
ately east of town. He was
tenderly hursed during his last
sickness by his old-time friends,
MI. and Mrs. Frank Smith OF
Warren.
Charlie Braughn was a gooC
man in the fullest, broadest anc
best sense of the word. He
lived as a man, at peace with
the world and his neighbors.
His daily walk showed manliness,
honesty, integrity of character
and charity for all. His kinC
heart, from which naught but
blessings ever flowed; his honest
counsel, that encouraged anc
helped; his loving hands, ex'
tended to help and assist; his
good nature and ever present
smile that brought sunlight wher
frowns brought night; his loya
friendship and steadfast sym
pathy, are all gone. But recol
lection of them will be ever deal
to those who knew and loveC
) him. Peace to his ashes.
