ECkERT WILL PATENT ROCKY
BUTTE MINE.

j. l.. Eckert, well known Idaho
county resident, is In the city from
Cottonwood and was yesterday en-
gagged presenting evidence at the u.
s. Land fffice in perfecting title to his
mining property located on Rocky
Butte. five miles north of Cottonwood.
The property Is known as the Reser-
vation claim and was acquired by Mr..
Eckert, in association with nineteen
others, at the time the reservation
was opened in 1895. Prior to that
time, the location Of the property on
the Indian reservation denied its en-
try for mining or other purposes and
denied as well opportunity for devel-
opment. Mr.. Eckert is now the sole
owner of the property, and owns as
we'll about 300 acres of school land
adjoining which he purchased from
the state.
Considerable development work has
been done at the mine through shafts
and drifts and the showing has been
very satisfactory. The ore Is found
in porphry formation between
granite walls, and at the bottom of
one shaft the ledge is shown to be
eight feet wide. In the process Of de-
velopment ore has been taken out
that showed assays ranging from 50
to over $500 per ton. The property
is located within a mile and a half
OF the Camas Prairie railway line and
thus convenient shipping facilities
are available after but a short wagon
haul

have inspected the property, express
the view that the best method of

ENDS HIS LIFE
WITH BULLET
Louis DeGrush, Aged "a,
Commits Suicide With His
Own Rifle.

Louis DeGrush, "a years old, suf-
eering from i'll health and want of
means, and the poor house facing him
@ q last haven, on last Saturday
evening between and O'Clock
wended his way to the Ed. Cawley
barn, where he had some of his ef-
fects stored. and with his own rifle, a
l6-70 Marlin, blew out his brains, as
0urcease from the pain, misfortune
and humiliation Of life. 1t is a sad
thing to see q respectable old man
brought to that extremity at the
close of q life which had passed far
beyond the three score years and ten
allotted man.
Deceased had Lived in Idaho coun-
ty for some fifteen years and had
worked in the mines and at other
Jobs. Prior to that time he had nv-
ed In Latah county and was for
years connected with the Hypotheke
Bank, Of Spokane, as a civil engin-
ser. OF late he had been taken care
Of by Mrs. Mark Howe at the Mid
way restaurant, doing what odd Jobs
he was able. Having become very
feeble the county commissioners at
their last meeting made him an al
lowance of $12.50 per month to ap-
ply on his board. The old gentleman
had been suffering greatly from a
complication of heart trouble and
asthma, and had to sit up to sleep.
On last Saturday afternoon q little
after five o'clock he was seen by
Messrs. Richards and Hancock pass
ing down state street north from the
First National bank corner, and it Is
concluded that he had then resolved
upon the act which snuffed out the
remaining spark of life.
At about $50 that night Ed. Cav
ley went out to his barn, north from
the Boss livery barn, to get some
coal for the stove, when he discover
cd the body of the old gentleman ly-
ing beside a bundle of hay with the

muzzle of the gun at the base of

The back of the head was practically
blown off.
The funeral was preached at the
Hancock undertaking rooms by Rev.

oody was laid to rest in the city
