Sanford Quest and his assistants, ae.

He was In the charge Of inspector
French, and was on his way to New

French was taken to the hospital, suf.
ferIng from conclusion Of the brain,

The man read the paragraph twice.
Then he set down the paper and
looked steadily across the rolling
prairie land. There was a queer, bit
ter little smile upon his lips.
so 1t begins again!" he muttered.
There was a cloud of dust in the
distance. The man rose to his feet,
shaded his eyes with his hand and
shambled round to the back of the
wagon, where long table was set out
with knives and forks, lunches of
bread and tincups. He walked little
farther away to the fire, and slowly
stirred a pot Of stew. The little party
Of cowboys came laundering up. There
was chorus of shouts and exclama-
tions. whistlings and good-natured
chaff, as they threw themselves from
their horses Long Jim stood slowly
cracking his whip and looking down
the table.
Say, boys, think he's fixed things
up all right" he remarked. "Come on
with the grub, cookie"
Silently the man flied each dish
with the stew and laid h in its place.
Then he retired to the background and
the cowboys commenced their meal.
Long Jim winked at the others as he
| picked up a biscuit
Cookie, you're no good" he called
out. 'The stew's rotten. Here, take
this!'
He flicked the biscuit, which caught
the cook on the side of the head. For
moment the man started. With his
hand upon his temple he flashed a
look Of hatred towards his assailant.
Long Jim laughed carelessly.
Say. cookie, the latter went on,
where did you get them eyes? Guess
we'll have to tame you bit"
The meal vas soon over. and Jim
strolled across to where the others
were saddling up. He passed his left
arm through the reins Of his horse
and turned once more to look at
Craig.
Say, you mind you do better to-
night, young fellow. Eh!".
He stopped short with cry OF pain
The horse mad suddenly started
wrenching at the reins. Jim's arm
hung helplessly down from the shoul
der.
Gee, boys, he's broken it," he
groaned Say, this is hell!"
The cook suddenly pushed his way
through the little crowd. He took
Jim's shoulder firmly In one hand and
his arm in the other. Tie cowboy
howled with pain.

NEW DISCOVERY Is MADE IN FLORENCE
 MINE IN G0LDFIELD
Bonanza Ground Predicted for this Property Similar to that Opened in Leasing Days of Nevada Camp.

GOLDFIEID, Feb 6--Local inter- est in the mining situation here is now centered upon the developments
 in the Atlanta, Goldleld Merger Ke-
 wanas and Florence mines.
 The new discovery in the Florence
 mine leads to the general belief that a bonanza body of ore win be opened
 up in this property similar to some
 of the rich ore bodies that were mined in the leasing days when the production of the Florence mine
 amounted to over $6,000.000
 Various Street" rumor4 of strikes in the Merger mine are emphaticauy denied by the management although it is expected that the raise now be. ing put up will enter the contact in a few days This work is being watched with intense interest for the
 reason that it has a grea, bearing up-
 on the Jumbo Extension aud Atlanta properties, and also from the fact that
 the opening up of shipping ore in the | Merger mine will add wonderfully to I the future possibilities of the O er | properties in the camp which are be- 1 lieved to cover the ore-bearing con. ! tact
 The striking of this ore bearing con | tact in the Kewanas winze st a depth
 of 140 feet below the 700foot level
 was a great surprise to everybody, as
 the management calculated that it
 would not be reached until depth 1f at least 150 or 160 feet had been al
 tsined While the quartz encountered
 on this contsctdoes not carry an lappreciable values 1t is reasonable o expect that drifting on it will result
 in the opening up of better grade ors, | but it is possible that greater depth may be required before @ shoot of shipping ore is encountered.
 At the Sandstorm property the
 winze from the 5OOfoot level is now
 down fifty feet and is stin heinz sunk
 on a body of quartz carrying encour- aging but To grade values
 Crosscutting in the Blue Pull prop erty was suspended for few days in order to retimber a portion Of the shaft This work has now been fin ished, and crosscutting in The Victor
 claim Of the Goldfeld Consolidated property under lease to the Blue Bull Company, has now been resumed. This crosscut is being run to encouut-
 CT the ore bearing contact. In the ] Blue Bull territory drifting on the l 700 foot level has been resumed on
 the big quartz vein which is there
 exposed, but which at present only shows low grade values
 The Booth mine is still gn object
 of great interest in the camp. but the management is not very free in giving
 out any detailed particulars about | the work there being performed, but
 states that development is progress ! ing in the usual manner Rumors oi
 strikes in the mine were frequent a few days ago, but these are no longer current and the public generally i% { waiting for an official announcement, Ito be made by the msnagement of any
 change in the underground workings at the property.

4Foor VEIN STRUCK.

GOLDFIELD. Feb. 6:-The winze sunk from the 700foot level of the Kewanas mine encountered the ore bearing contact on Tuesday and passed through four feet of quartz carrying low-grade values at a depth Of 14O feet below the 7OO-foot level
 It was calculated by the manage ment of the property that this com tact would be encountered at depth of about l5O feet The winze is now being continued to further depth of 20 feet for a sunp, and when stAkine of this has been completed drifting on tho quartz vein wnl be com- meheed.

INQUIRY ABOUT BIG
LOST RIVER PROJECT

Commissioner Tallman, of the general
land office, wants to know what the
plans Of the State of Idaho are with
regard to the Big Lost River project
and is anxious to learn the prospects for
the reclamation of the lands within this
project, the availability of the water
supply, etc. The communication from
the commissioner was laid before the
State land board this afternoon. The
board was called together by Governor
Alexander for the express purpose of
considering it. 1t is evident from the
tone Of the communication, the commits
sioner is of the opinion the State is 60.
ing smoothly ahead with plans for the
reclamation Of the project which has
been dormant for the past eight years
Commissioner Tallman has evidently
not been notified that the State refused
to confirm but instead rejected the con.
tract Of the Utah Construction company
which now owns the irrigation works
on the project, because it did not spe
cifically state the amount of water ii
would deliver under contract, is evident
from the tone Of the communication.
The land board finds itself in some
what peculiar position in regard to this
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-11-18

particular project. The irrigation
works were bid in under the hammer
by the Utah Construction company.
Ever since that time this company has
been busy securing estimates from en-
gineers as to the relative cost Of finish
ing the project. Some time ago it draft
led contract to be entered into with
the State and laid it before the land
board. This contract called for the ex
|penditure Of approximately a million
and one-half dollars to reclaim the pro-
ject. The State turned the contract
down. Since then the negotiations be-
tween the Utah Construction company
land the land board have come to a
|standstill. Now the government wants
to know what the State g plans are. The
State stands chance Of having the seq
regation for the project turned back in
to the public domain.
Settlers who have appropriated water
from the Big Lost river since the orig
inal Big Lost River Irrigation company
became defunct are also asking for pro-
lection. There are about 100 of them
and they have put the water to bene-
fetal use by cultivating and improving
their lands, The successor to the in
terests Of the defunct company claim
the water rights on the stream leaving
| the entire matter in somewhat Of a
Quandary.
