AMERICAN MINING COMPANY.
Arrangements Made for Workinq

Through Alhambra Tunnel.
The American Mining company, of
which John Presley, of sthis city is
the manager and principal owner. has
effected an arrangement with the AL
hambra Mining company to use the
long tunnel as a permanent means for
development. The American company
has agreed to pay $4,000 for one half
interest In the tunnel, and pending
payment monthly rental will be paid
to the Alhambra for the use of it. The
American company owns a group of
claims extending across the divide be-
tween Big creek and Elk creek, lying
south and east of the Alhambra and
reaching to the ground of the Bunker
Hill. 1t is the theory of the Ameri-
can people that they have the great
Bunker Hill & Sullivan vein, and the
made with the Alhambra
will give them most favorable op-
to explore their ground at
great depth. The Alhambra tunnel is
over mile long.

OPPORTUNITY AT WORK.

Opportunity not only knocks at the
door of some men, but actually beats
down the door, goes in and drags
them out of bed. Opportunity plays
some great tricks. When she beck
ons you might as we'll go as there is
no permanent or safe escape. She
will follow you to the ends of the
world to make you serve her purpose.
Mr.. Charles e. Hughes has never
cared for political career. He never
turned hand for public office. He
was picked up and made governor of
New York, not once, but twice. He
retired to private life. For fear that
in private life he might become mix
ell up in the political and factional
figlRs of the day opportunity removed
him from the scene of strife to await
her purpose. He was placed on the
supreme court bench. Now he Is re-
moved from the court to serve in
greater field of usefulness.
The wonderful thing about oppor-
tunity is that she always exercises
rare judgment. The fact to keep in
mind, If you should travel with her |
Is to be prepared for the emergency.
The lame, the weak and the halt are
seldom chosen. Opportunity is not

The work of the Shoshone county
good roads association is deserving of
the most cordial commentator. In
addition to the influence the associa-
ton has exerted in improving the
local roads which has made them the
pride of the county and envy of other
counties in the state, 1t has been the
means of bringing the most popular
transcontlnental highway through this
county, the Yellowstone Trail" The
association was the main factor in
getting the Fourth of July road chang
ed to grade that makes travel over
1t pleasure, and now It has under
taken the task Of building the road
over the Idaho Montana divide at
Lookout, which will not only give a
better grade, but will provide a road
that will be open to travel at least
two months longer each year than the
present route. This is practical work
which should receive the support of
all citizens in carrying out further
plans of the association for road i'm
provement.

AN APPEAL TO THE PATRIOTISM
OF PEOPLE OF IDAHO.

The call of the president upon the
states to send the national guard for
service on the Mexican border and
possibly in Mexico is meeting re-
Spouse that is the highest sense credit
able to the states and to the national
guard Idaho has quickly answered
the call so far as the regular guard
is concerned, but it Is necessary that
large number of recruits be obtain
ed to bring the regiment up to the
maximum war footing, and for that
purpose the governor has appealed to
the young blood of the state to en-
list. The appeal is just as strong as
II would be If the president had made
a direct call for volunteers, and no
young man physically fit and unmar-
ried should hesitate moment in Of
fering his services. And In this con-
nection there a duty to perform by
those who are not subject to military
service Every employer Of men sub
ject to this call should encourage
them to enlist by assuring them that
their positions will be open to them
upon their return, 1t matters not how
long their duty calls them. In Arizona
several mining companies have not
only given this assurance to their EN-
ployes, but have also given them a
months pay as further encourage
ment. This is the right spirit that
must show itself II this country is to
give good account of its soldiers in
time of war.
A blacksmith at Caldwell, Idaho, the
other day gave a fine exhibition OF
this spirit which should be emulatea
throughout the state. His name is |
Fred Rowland and may his tribe in
crease His partner, Bert Black, is q
member of the local company of the |
national guard, and when the call
came for the company to mobilize for
the impending war with Mexico, Row
land said to Black:
you must go with the boys. The
business will be continued and the
receipts win be divided just the same
as If you were at work in the shop"
There Is an example of the highest
type of patriotism, displayed without
ostentatlon, hut with "A quiet resolve
to meet each new duty of citizenship
with unwavering courage and self ,
sacrifice. Herein lies the real strength
Of the nation. The Caldwell black :
smith has set an example that should
be followed by every citizen in every .
walk of life. =
But whether it is or not, no un- r

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer him!

Despite the clamors of both Dele

 increase n the appropriations for

 aouncement that Secretary Garrison's

 II may be true, as Colonel Richardson
 has stated that he is unable to se- cure an increase in the appropriations through the medium of his department, although he has tried hard to do SO To d certain extent he is bound by the restrictions imposed by the wishes of his superiors but this does not apply l 10 the delegate. He is bound by no | letters in this respect and neither de- partmental red tape nor any other bureaucratic restriction withholds him from demanding that which is needed hy his constituents probably more than anything else he is in a position to secure. And yet We find him making | but one apparent effort to secure that | which he knows the territory Is abso- lutely dependant on for its develop Inent. Transportation is the big vital matter In Alaska and this can only be provided by congress owing to the utter inadequency of such funds as can possibly be provided by the 1eglsla- lure from any source at their com mand. Mir Wickersham knows full well that the road commission has at no time had sufficient funds. whatever may be the reason, and yet he has made no particular effort to holp the commission to secure an increase of save the one of a year ago. which was, as stated. far from productive of the results intended. The delegate secured some result, it is true, but such increase as was granted | was apportloned for q specific pur- pose which was only incidental to the main object which is the extension of roads for the opening of the territory. The building of a few bridges does not go a long way toward development of Inc territory and this is about all that was achieved through his efforts last year. Mir Wlckersham planes Colonel Richardson for the failure to secure larger appropriations but 1t certainly appears that the delegate himself has been somewhat remiss in that he has
