we want 70 call the attention
OF our taxpayers TO the fact that
Gov. Alexander, II elected and
given the power to do so, prom
ised the people an economic adj
ministration. and promised to
save TO them a million dollars
during his term OF Office. lie
was elected. The people, how
ever, failed to give him control
OF the state government, and,
unless the opposition is patriot
lc enough TO do the obviously
right thing, he is going to be SER
iously hampered IN the work. SO
lar, the republicans who have
control OF legislative and state
affairs, have exercised TO the ut
most their power to prevent
economy. Their only purpose,
so far, seems to be an endeavor
to 'put the governor in a hole
They seem TO have no conception
OF the TACT that it is not the gov
ernor, but the taxpayers 81 the
state whom they are putting in a
hole-the same old hole which we
have prayed ior strength TO en-.

tho past. They seem to have no
conception OF DUTY and patrio-
tism; they simply want to put
Moses Alexander Sin n hole. "
The Herald is not particularly
interested in the personality nor
the personal ambitionsor desires
of Governor Alexander 1t is
particularly interested in the wei
fare OF Idaho. We believe that
Governor Alexander il absolute
" sincere in his efforts to reduce
taxation in Idaho, aud that he
will welcome any suggestion or
measure that will inure Co that
end, regardless OF whether it
emanates from a republican or
democratic, or any other source.
We are going to ask the republi-
can majority to be as fair and
Just as conscientious in the
performance OF their duties and
obligations as we believe Cover
nor Alexander 20 be. And we
are going TO suggest TO them
that the taxpayers OF Idaho are
pursuing policy OF "watchful
waiting" inaugurated by the
national government; and their
verdict viii be sure. Ii the re-
publican party ever hopes again
TO become the dominant party
in Idaho, IL must work TO the
end that taxes be reduced to a
reasonable maximum. It's work
in the past has not been satistac-
tory. With a portion OF the old
administration in the peniten-
tiary, aud others on trial in the
courts-most OF the others, by
the way--it is not a time for the

FROM THE CLEARWATER.
Placer Miner Returns After Satisfac
tory Seasons Work.

A. d. Burrows returned from the
upper Clearwater Tuesday, having
gone over there last June to prepare
his placer ground for work and Incl
dentally take out a little gold II time
and water permitted. He accomplish
ed both purposes and Is confident that
he will be able to make a good clean
up next season. He was mainly occu-
pied during the summer In whipsaw-
ing lumber for sluice boxes and in
opening up his ground for next sea-
SON He did little mining more for
the purpose of testing his ground thar
for profit, and the result of work In
Ia pit about 100 feet long and 80 fee
wide proved highly satisfactory. He
exhibited collection OF nuggets rang
ing in value from $50 cents to 81, and
stated that the gold in his ground was
generally of that character, there be-
ing little fine gold. The gold he ex-
hbited was probably worth SIS per
ounce. Mr.. Burrows left everything
in good shape for work next season
and he expects to go in as early as
possible next spring and begin actual
mining. His water supply is good for
about four months, and having done
all the preliminary work. ne will lose
no time when he reaches the groune
next sprnig. He goes in by way of
Iron Mountain and crosses the divide
back into Idaho and Shoshone county
at the head of Cedar creek. In addi-
ton to working on his placer ground,
Mr., Burrows also located a promising
copper vein which he will prospect
more thoroughly next year. He has
mining property near Medimont to
which he will probably give his atten-
tion this winter.

1t was only natural that many of the
best Comstock miners should have
followed on after them when later the
younger camp began to show ito
worth. Owing to the greater expert.
ence of these Comstock miners it was
to be expected that they would work
themselves into positions of promin-
ence. Indeed, even today a number Of
the mine bosses at Butte are men who
saw their first real mining in some Of
the 'hotwater" mines. Reels and flat
ropes, square sets, the bevel-and- horn
framing of the shaft plates, the use
of easing timbers around the shafr
sets proper so as to facilitate the max
ing of repairs while hosting, is going
on: these and other features of pres
ent day Butte practice terminated in
the mines Of the Comstock They We're
brought from there to the younger
camp and developed to a still higher
refinement in execution.

CLEARWATER GOLD q COPPER.
Being Developed Under contraot-To
Build Wagon Road Soon.

The Clearwater Gold & Copper Min
ing company some weeks ago award
ed a contract to Nels Dolberg, Thomas
Lapp and Clayton Mcbride to drive a
crosscut 500 feet and the work is now
under way and will continue during
the winter. 1t is stated that the COM
pany furnishes powder and tools and
pays the men $40 per foot, half in
stock. The property is located on the
upper Clearwater, just over the DIVIDE
at the head of Cedar creek. 1t las
been developed by two tunnels and q
shaft sunk 100 feet from the lower
one, giving a total depth on the vein
of about 300 feet. A large amount o:
ore has been disclosed which 1t is said
will average per cent copper and
also considerable that runs as high as
80 per cent. The ore also carries good
values in gold and silver. The con-
troll of the Clearwater company Is
held by Sam Seidenfeld, formerly of
this city, now of Spokane. He expects
to build wagon road from Lacasse's
camp at the head of Cedar creek to
the property in the spring and hopes
to receive some assistance in the en-
terprise from the county The Clear
water is a mineral field with future
and Shoshone county could we'll af-
ford to give financial encouragement
to its development.

on November 10 and 20 promises tc
be one Of unusual interest and at
tract a large attendance. 1t is esti-
mated that upwards of so members
will be here, and Rush j. White, vice
chairman of the section, is very ac-
ments for the session. 1t is probable
that several members of the Montana
section will attend, as a special in
lvitation has been extended to that or
ganization. The program as alread,
announced for the first day is an in.
teresting one, but it is possible that i
may be necessary to change it in some
respects. However, an interesting anf
instructive program is assured.

from Missoula, where he made the
final payment on the Mammoth group
of claims situated east of that city
and owned by ID. J. Heyfron. The
option held by Mr.. Austin and which
has now been taken up was for the
control of the property. The group
consists of claims situated about 6
miles from the railroad and reached
by a good wagon road. While the
property has not been extensively de-
lveloped. enough has been done to es
tablish the presence of commercial ore
from which several shipments have
been made. The vein is exposed for
a distance of 1000 feet by open cuts
and shallow shafts and at practically
all points opened shows lead-silver
ore. In one shaft at depth of 81
feet there Is feet of ore that viii
average 40 per cent lead and 6 ounces
of silver About 900 feet from this
showing and below It a tunnel has
been run Is feet from which a Wine
has been sunk rs feet, which also
shows 4 feet of ore with values the
same as that above. Sixty tons of
ore have been taken from this tunnel

(which Is expected to make available

THE REINDEER QUEEN
Not Likely That Mill Will Be Built
This Winter.

his Winter.
1t is not regarded probably that the
Reindeer Queen company will under
take to build a mill before spring. 1t
Is late to undertake an enterprise of
that kind, for before the preliminary
arrangements could be completed wea-
Their conditions would be such that 1t
would be very difficult to proceed with
the construction. Besides the devel-
opment of the property has hardly
reached the stage that would justify
"a mill Considerable high grade cop
per has been encountered in driving
the present drift and it is possible
shipments may be made during the
winter. The high grade ore has been
found at intervals in the form of
lenses cutting obliquely across the
vein and pitching strongly to the east.
One of these was cut last week, show
ing ore ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent copper. Between these rich
shoots OF ore is low grade, probably
1 or per cent. The tunnel is now re-
ported in the Queen ground, but sew.
eral hundred feet remain to be run to
get under the objective point under
the surface showing where the best
ore is expected.

Right or wrong, there is a wide
spread impression that there is
strong bond of sympathy between the

Therefore when the two biggest lead

Off the yoke and embark in the smelt-

was no effort on the part of other
smelters to grab the business lost to
the A. s. & r. company. While there
Is no evidence of the fact on the sur
face, there Is reason to believe that
the Bunker Hill smelling project is
far more disturbing to the big smelt-
ing concerns than the Day plant at
Northport. The Bunker Hill & Suli-
van smelling its own ores in plant
at the mine and bidding for the ores
OF other mines of the district with
its great financial strength and high
technical ability, Is far more formid-
able competitor than the Northport
concern can ever be, and it has leaked
out that representatives of one or
more of the big smelters which are
supposed to have "a gentleman's
agreement" with the A. S. & R., have
been in the district recently feeling
out the situation and in mood to Of
fer the olive branch to the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan. But 1t appears that
the Bunker Hill is not in compro-
missing frame of mind, and up to date
has shown no disposition to consider
conciliatory overtures.

The Mining World remarks that the
excellence of the shaft timbering in

the fact that Butte, to start in with,

so the great advantage Of an expert .

THE NORTH SIDE.
{. W. Burton Takes an Optimistic
View of the Situation.

T.. w. Burton, one of the pioneer
residents of Murray, was in the city
yesterday. Asked about the mining
operations on the North Side he stated
that the situation was very encourag
ing, There is a large amount of de-
velopment going on with most salts
factory results and he predicts that
before long the Murray section will
prove its ability to come back" Just
as most other mining camps have re-
covered from adverse conditions. The
ore is there and Mr.. Burton predicts
that persistent and intelligent efforts
will result in opening many produc-
tive and profitable mines on the North
Side, Mr.. Burton is interested in the
Idaho Northern, at the head of Butte
creek, in which there is a good show
ing Of lead-silver ore. The property
is being steadily developed.
