 GOOD PROPERTY

G. A. Harmon and associates. who have just returned from Valdez, state that the new ledge discovered on the Big Four mining property, twelve miles up Mineral creek from Valdez, i# the largest deposit of high-grado free gold quartz in the territory. while the Big Four's original stakings cover extensive ore bodies of $200 ore This new ledge. which has recently come to light through the receding Of q glacier l.500 feet higher up. shows true Assure vein from two to three feet wide on the surface The ledge is exposed for several hundred feet on the surface and continues under the ice. \ tifty-fOOt crOSsCut recently driven cuts the ledge at about sixty feet depth and shows widening of the ledge to four and One-half feet, and at this point still continues to carry heavy free gold, assaying an av- craze of more than $1,20O per ton for this width, while on the surface at all points the ore mortars from $1 to $2 per pound. About 300 pounds of this ore was brought back by Mir. Harmon Aneroid readings at this ledge show an elevation of 5.7OO feet.
 It has been predicted by many en gineorg that the summitg of the noun tains between Mineral and Gold creeks, which are covered with thin blankets of ice. would eventually be found to contain,rich gold lodges. as both streams contain placer ground. and this discovery is one proof of the fact
 This property was leased to Mir. Harmon and associates in November, 1917. and If gold mining is exempted from tax the ten-stamp mill at Shoup bay which was taken over by the liar mon Machinery Company in 1916 will be immediately moved up and placed in operation on this Big Four ledge. Past and future work Is being handled by private interests.

NEGROES WILL
NOT Be HANGED
PRESIDENT WILSON GRANTS IN
DEFINITE RESPITE TO COL
ORED SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON-P Wilson
today granted an indefinite respite to
five negroe soldiers Of the oath infan-
try, who were sentenced by court mar
tial to be hanged for participation in
the riots at Houston, Texas.
1t is believed this means the men
are not to be hanged. Thirteen negro
members of this regiment were hang
ed several weeks ago. Upon learning
of this action President Wilson issued
that no more soldiers were to be hang
ed until he had been given an oppor-
tunity to review the case. The five
just respited were among more than
100 arrested for participation in riot
in which nearly 80 civilians were kill
ed at Houston, Texas, last summer.
More than a score we're sent to the
penitentiary for long terms, many OF
them for life.

SUCCESSFUL PLAY
GIVEN At VIOLA
WILL BE REPEATED AT OTHER
PLACES FOR BENEFIT OF
THE RED CROSS


Despite the inclemency of the
weather Saturday evening the play
given under the auspices of the Red
Cross at Viola church was decidedly
a success. The title of the fouract
comedy was Can Any Blockhead Tell
Lie?' Judging from the critical and
interesting situations developing from
the unscientifically told lie, it seems
that the art of fibbing is only within
the realm of the lying adept. So well
were the different characters of the
comedy portrayed by the local actors,
the audience was highly pleased as
we'll as surprised at the reproduction.
The between act recitals given by
Miss Frances Trimble of Palouse,
were of the highest merit and met
with hearty applause.
The play will likely be staged in
other nearby villages for the benefit of
the various local Red Cross societies.
The assurance of popular success
at Pullman was given the cast by a
student of the Washington State col
lege.

The basket ball tournament for Ida

sporting event of the year. 1t is
thought that a dozen high schools
will enter teams in the contest and
that each school will send eight men,
which means SO without any spectac-
tors, but it is certain there will be a
lot of "rooters" from some of the
nearer schools and the number of Wis
itors will probably be we'll over 100.
Coach Bleamaster of the university
who is managing the big tournament,
is in correspondence with the coaches
of the various schools and is planning
on a big event Southern Idaho has
three districts which will hold their
local tournaments this week and
eliminate all but the team that will
come to Moscow. Twin Falls, Rupert
and Gooding are in one district. An
other district contest will close at
Boise and the third at Blackfoot this
week.
From northern Idaho the following
teams are entered Moscow, Lewis

the finals Friday afternoon and night.
Tickets for the entire tournament are
now on sale at 81 each and it will
require about 400 tickets to take care
