ALPINE MINE IN new
HANDS
NOcrOss Property on North Fork
of Payette Bonded to New
York Parties.

The Alpine mining property locat-
ed about u miles above Banks, has
been bonded to John A. Percival OF
New York. The property is reported
to be rich in silver
The mine is located on the ridge be-
tween the North Fork of the Payette
river and Garden Valley, directly east
of the McNish cabin. 1t is known as
the Norcross mine, and is an old timer
Until the Idaho Northern was built up
the river, the region was so isolated
that shipping of ore was found to be
Improbable. Now the mine is only
two miles from the railroad, most of
the distance being straight up. The
Percival company has taken in large
quantities of supplies, considerable
machinery and has built cabins for the
workmen. A tunnel $50 feet below
the old workings is being run to cut
the vein.
The deal was negotiated by Frank
Johnesse of Boise. The mine has been
worked for 25 years and considerable
ore shipped, which has yielded returns
of more than S100 ton net.

RANCHER HAS HOT WELL
Temperature at Depth of 345 Feet
Too Hot to Work In.

J. Roup, dry rancher living on
the Boise road few miles south of
Freezeout, has "hot well'' on his
hands. He is engaged in digging a
well on his place and has reached a
depth of 345 feet The formation is
coarse sand and it is so hot that it
is impossible to continue work until
fan is installed, which Mr. Roup
is now doing.
This is another indication of the
presence of hot springs in the hills
Near the mouth of Squaw creek there
are several hot springs that have a
strong flow. There is a hot spring
of lesser capacity east of town near
Pickett Corral hill 1t is confidently
believed that hot springs of suffi-
cient capacity to heat this city and
provide hot water for all household
purposes abound in the hills east of
town and only await capital to develop
them and turn them to beneficial use.

ALL.STAR QUINTET TAKE
FIRST GAME
Old Time BasketbaIIers Come
Back-Defeat High School
Five 81 to Is.

The All Star basketball team, COM
posed of hasbeeners, demonstrated
their ability to come back Friday
evening, defeating the High School
quintet by score of 81 to IS.
The victory was not what might be
called a walk away, despite the top
heavy score the All-Stars piled I'D,
for luck had something to do with
the comparatively small score of the
High school. They should have had
at least six more tallies. The trouble
was that the ball just wouldn't roll
into the basket. Several times it hung
on the edge, wavered this way and
then that, but always fell out. Not
SO with the All-Stars, however. The
basket seemed to have a peculiar mag
netic attraction for the ball, and ker-
PUNK it went through the rings every
chance it could do so with decency.
The game was fast, but not bril-
liant. Both sides showed a lack of
practice and team work. For the ALL
Stars, Fred Monroe starred, with Will
lis Harrell and N. R. Cowden close
seconds, and for the High School
Whitsell excelled in basket throwing,
with Floy Clark next.

dam and Deer Flat reservoir rather
than water of the Payette river. He
says that is the only practicable zone
for the utilization of these waters at
present. He stated, however, in ans
wer to Senator Borah's inquiry that
if it is afterwards found practicable
or feasible to bring water from the
Payette river practically all the
work now done can be utilized and will
be available under the plan to bring
waters from the Payette. Mr. Davis
idea is that work done now need not
be considered as rejection of the
Payette plan in the future, but he says
emphatically that the only thing in
sight now available or practicable is
his plan.

SEWER ACTION
LAID OVER
City Council Decides to Indefinitely
Postpone Proposed Sewer Work.

The proposition to create a sewer
district to include the eastern and
southern portions of the city and to
change the present outlet of sewer
district No. 1 fell by the wayside
at Monday nights meeting of the
city council. Further action was in
definitely postponed. In the mean
time, a conference will be held with
the general officers of the Boise-Pay-
cite Lumber company in order to as
certain the desires of that company in
regard to changing the outlet of the
present sewage disposal works. 1t is
reported that the dam which the lum-
ber company planned to build in the
south channel of the river north of
their mill will not be constructed un-
til low water next fall.
Manager C. G. Fifield and VIM. Bills,
of the Continental Oil company, were
present to confer in regard to the
location of the oil tanks which the
company plans to locate here. The
company recently purchased the lots
upon which the Hayes fruit packing
house is located to erect thereon oil
tanks. The council granted permis-
sion to build there. Soon afterwards,
a petition was circulated, protesting
against the location for the tanks on
the ground that they were dangerous
to property. Mr.. Fifield, however,
told of the safety appliances used to
avoid explosions and overcame most
of the objections. No action was
taken by the council in the matter and
the company will in very short time
begin construction work on the plant.

Boy Locates Valuable Mine.

A curious bit of human interest is
hidden in the news that Frank E
Johnesse purchased last week from c.
A. Pinney a group of claims near the
Pinney home, Alpine ranch, near
Banks, on the Idaho Northern road
says the Statesman. The purchase
was made for some English people,
who have instructed Mr.. Johnesse to
begin work on the claims at once. The
price was part cash and part interest
in the claims. The money paid and
the interest in the claims belong to
Mr. Pinney's son, boy of II, in be-
half of whose health the Pinneys took
up their abode two years ago on what
they term their Alpine ranch. The boy
was in poor health when the family
lived in Nampa, and they decided to
try ranch life. A house was built al
most at the top of the ranch, which
is measured more often vertically than
horizontally, and the lad was encour-
aged to roam over the mountains
anything to keep him out in the open
and to work up an appetite. He pick
ed up a knowledge of mines and of
mine indications from the miners in
the region, became interested enough
to study some books on the subject,
and in his wanderings discovered the
claims which have recently been sold.
In the meantime he has entirely re-
gained his health and the money re-
ceived from the claims will be used
to give him a college and technical
mining education. Mr.. Pinney is con-
ductor on the Idaho Northern road
and one of the well-known citidens in
this region.

miles of road are to be constructed.
Of this number 464 miles are within
forest reserves and 697 on the outside.
The roads to be constructed vary
