BIG development
IS UNDER WAY IN
HALEY COUNTRY
Major Fred R. Reed Tells of
the Mining Activity in
the Wood River Section Of
the State.

The famous Wood river mining dis
trict is coming back" The fact that
the American Mining & Smelling COM
pany, Guggenheim concern, has en-
tered that field and is actively en-
gagged developing mining property, is
significant CT the faith one of the great
est mining interests in the world has in
the wealth of mineral stored there.
Major Fred r. Reed, one of the original
forty miners" of the Haley country,
who mined there in the balmy days
and saw the district pass through years
of depression, is again back in the field
and today exhibited in Boise lead silver
ore taken from the mine he is connect
ed with, which runs into big values.
PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
There are better prospects before
the Wood river mining section now
than ever before" said Major Reed.
"The American Mining & Smelling
company has opened and is developing
the North Star mine on the east fork
of the Wood river, L. miles from HALEY
1t is employing 100 men and has a
monthly payroll of $4,000. The ore
taken from this mine is rich--a com
pick deposit of lead, silver, gold and
concern and that probably means more
for the HALEY and Wood river district
than any one thing else. 1t is in itself
significant.
THE Vernon mine. over Galena sum-
NIT. is also developing its property. II
is putting in 100 ton mill. Jack DON
ovan, one of the oldest mining men in
that section, recently made a remarka-
bic strike on Lake creek of a high class
galena property. Raymond Guyer n
well known mining engineer. has just
purchased a half interest in the old Nay
Aug property, which has record of
100000 production. Charles Cuneo
claim in the old Bullion district, which
has record of Sly and seven million
dollars.
MINING MEN SWARM IN.
There are dozens of other properties
that al actually being worked and ev-
cry day or two some fresh discovery of
property is reported. Mining men are
going into that district from all parts
of the world, Investigations are being
made and options are being taken.

VILLA MYTH EXPLODED
Refugees Believed to Be Unstrung
Through Fear as No Trace of Ban
dts Is Is Found.

Field Headquarters, Punitive Expe-
dition, Mexico, Oct. 13.-InvestigatiOn
of recent runlOrs concerning the oper-
atoms of the bandits under Francisco
Villa and Julio ACosta virtually has
confirmed the belief at field headquar-
tiers that the reports were the result of
imagination of frightened refugees.
Although many Mexicans from country
south OF Ell Vale have sought safety
in that town, which is within two
miles of an American camp, it is be-
Iieved the fear that prompted their
fight was unfounded. No Villa fol-
lowers, it was learned today, are In
MADEIRA.
Villa has not ventured north Of Te-
mOsachic, which is more than 100
miles from the American lines. A re-
cent report that Villa followers were
at Galeana, within ten miles of the
American line Of communication also
has been disproved. Apparently there
has been a lull in bandit activity since
the fight at CushuirichiO.

The republicans will journey to the

that confronts the party members, for
they are to select the man they think
is best fitted to represent the town in

sembly for the next two years. DR.. R.
M. Griswold has represented the town
for the past two years.
About town there is very little COM

develops not much of a contest will
f~be staged. Charles M. Jarvis seems
to be the man who will be selected.

Many women suffer from form of

There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia
