MINING Is BOOMING.

The Rockies are like teeming ant
hills, where human beings delve deep
into the earth and throw up monuments
of waste material, as is the custom
with their insect contemporaries says
the Denver Mining Record. New
claims are being located, new mines
opened, old mines rejuvenated, and at
all times the restless prospector con-
! tinues his search for treasure.
| A mining boom is on most decidedly,
but it has none of the attributes of a
temporary or inflated condition, rather
appearing to be based upon substan-
| tial business foundation.
New mills are being constructed in
many camps, while old plants are be-
ing overhauled and thoroughly mod
ernized, with oil flotation introduced
where the ores are favorable The pres
ent day miner realizes that the in
stallation of first-class equipment vast
ly increases his chances for success; that
such an adjunct is, in fact, the prime
factor in developing prospect into a
mine.
While an increase in the mining of
metals of all kinds in Colorado has
been very pronounced, the gain in gold
and silver productions has been espe-
cially noteworthy.
Throughout the west, all conditions
indicate that the mining industry is
established on sounder, more legiti-
mate footing than it has been for years.

LIQUOR IN POSSESSION.
Gallogly Arrested Sunday-Some Liquid
Labeled HORSE Medicine" Found.

DIR. J. E. Gallogly was arrested by
Deputy Eller Sunday and the charge
filed against him was violation of the
provisions of the laws of Idaho restrict
ing the sale and use of liquor. He had
a runaway Sunday with team of mules
and this was laid to an alleged con-
dition of intoxication and the complaint
was made charging that he had liquor
in his possession. The search BY
Sheriff Yates revealed couple of gal
Ions of liquor shipped in from Montana
being labeled horse medicine. The
first dose evidently affected the mules
seriously. Preliminary examination was
waived and the defendant was bound
over to the district court ON $500
bond fixed by Justice Carrots. This is
the first case that has arisen in Idaho
county on charge of violation of the
liquor law fixing a penalty for having
liquor in possession.

CAPTAIN DAVIS VISITS.
Speaks From Auto on Main Street Mon
day Night-He Spares no One.

Monday evening Captain Z. G. Davis
spoke from an automobile on Main
street and whatever may be his chances
in winning the nomination for governor
on the Republican ticket, he cannot be
accused of selfish motives or of lack of
spirit and enthusiasm. He handed the
matter straight from the shoulder and
his auditors, of both political beliefs
were interested, but it is to be doubted
whether he will get the nomination for
the reason that he is making fight
| Independent of bosses, promises and
political whatnot, and he is not liable
to get past in his own party, which has
practically in preprimary palaver as
sembed, with Borah, Brady and other
republican beacon lights present or re
presented, already practically agreed
to boost the political fortunes of the
other Davis, and there are not going to
be any mistakes as to him when the
time comes to enact the rest of the
drama of nominating candidates in the
primary.
The Captain is by far the best man
in republican state circles and of the
largest calibre and for this reason, that
his calibre is a little too effective,
and his aim is a little too accurate, he
is going to be ditched. But in the
ditching the Captain is making some
nice punctures in the political wheel
coverings of the republican machine.
He everlastingly and hOpelessly pune
lures the dream of "Taxless State"
as born in the mind of the other Davis
and the old guardsmen IS choice. He
shows that d. w. Davis has HOPELESS
and insuperable obstacle in his way at
the commencement, in his plans to sell
state lands, which by grant of the
federal government are restricted in
their disposition to certain definitel
uses, that being for school purposes.
He is also touching very vigorously
on the Huston loan deal of recent noto-
riety, and lambasts the state land board
that has been a state shame for all
time, and which the republican state
organization is only just now trying to
clean up to start the campaign with
out handicap, although the personnel
of the board is the political remnants
of past republican administrations in
the state and still seems to withstand
the present efforts to clean it up, with
plenty OF backing from republican
powers that be in the state.
SO Captain Davis, as he asserts, if
not fortunate in being nominated yet
is doing little publicity and educating
of the voters that will be of benefit.
1t is safe however to say that he stands
little chance of nomination for his own
party and its bosses are fighting him
to a finish

FAVORS BOND ISSUE.

G. M. Clay, the big sheepman of the
Salmon river country, is in town today
and will meet with the county fathers
before returning, laying before them
the matter of constructing toll
bridge across the Salmon at the mouth
of White Bird creek. Mr.. Clay, who
has like bridge in operation at point
near higgins, says he is willing to put
in bridge that will meet all practical
purposes of travel at that point and
will submit his proposition to the board
for consideration before it's adjourn
ment. In speaking of good roads he
remarked he was thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the movement which seemed
to be gaining Roadway in various sec
tions of Idaho county for the bonding
of the county for a sum sufficient to
build number of permanent roads in
sections where there is heavy travel.
He feels such work if undertaken
should follow along lines that will bene-
fit the greatest number of the people
and all should lay aside personal or
selfish interests in the matter and work
for the greatest good to the greatest
number.

RAISING COMPANY FUND.

Following the plans of number of
other communities in Idaho which have
sent national guard companies to the
front and supplied the same with a
liberal company fund, Grangeville and
vicinity is this week making an effort
to raise a substantial fund for Com
pany E. A dance will be given this
money and contributions will also be
solicited. 1t seems we have been a
little forgetful here but it is hoped
while late the sum collected will be
greater than those towns who took
the matter in hand earlier. There is
no question as to the advisability of
raising a substantial company fund.

STRIKE ON MT. MARSHALL.

A report is current this week that
big strike was made on the Mt
Marshall property in the Mt. Marshall
district. Work has been carried on
during the winter in drifting in on a
blind ledge and then the work was
pushed in driving in to the main ledge
a rich ore body being struck at depth
of 1900 feet. This disapproves some
assertions sometimes made that the
values do not go down in this country
and is convincing proof to the contrary.
The work on the Mt. Marshall property
in development has been pushed for
several years past. This last strike
proves that the values go down and
thes howing indicates that they main
tain at depth. This property is own
ed and financed by eastern capital and
the owners haven ever for a moment
ceased work in development. Thsre
are other valuable properties in the
district in the course of development,
some of which were bonded last fall

SOME GOOD ADVICE

ences

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness and urinary dis
orders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use a re-
liable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine so well recommend
ed as Doan's Kidney Pills. Wa-Kee-
ney people rely on them. Here's one
OF the many statements from Wa
Keeney people.
Mrs. A. j. Wineburner, Wa-Keeney,
says: Il can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills, for I know that they have
merit and deserve a few words of
praise. Off and ON Doan's kidney
PILE have been taken and short use
has never failed to bring relief from
kidney trouble and an aching back.
Anyone so bothered would do we'll to
buy Doan's Kidney Pills.

simply ask for kidney remedy-get
