IN LITTLE GIANT, IN
WARREN DISTRICT
Manager of Central Idaho
Mine Relates Details of Re
cent Important Discovery
Policy of Company Is to De-
velop and Block Out Ore to
Keep 50-Ton Mill Going

Details of the rich gold strike made
several weeks ago in the property of the
Unity Gold Mines company, at Warren,
are related in a letter from j. A.
Czizek directOr-general of the company,
and former state mine inspector for Ida
no. Mr.. Click is in Warren. He de-
clares he has encountered the vein of
the Little Giant, one of the famous old
mines in the Warren district.
Letter From MIR. Czizek
Writing under date of July IS, Mr.
Czizek says i'll part:
81 am now ready to announce the
strike in the Unity Gold Mines prop
erty, in the old famous Little Giant
ground, about 500 feet deep. While
the vein is not large, yet free gold
values are abundant, as of old. We
have driven for several days in 800
a ton gold ore, in addition to con
high grade silver values.
"This practically removes all doubt
rs to depth in the camp. Our tunnel
is in One-half a mile The vein was
,ut 2550 feet from the portal. Work
IS being advanced on vein both east
and west with all possible dispatch
showing steady Improvement both in
'ize and value. The entry to the vein
vas made 600 feet east of the extreme
'ast end of the Little Giant workings. |
cit will be recalled that the little :
liant took first prize on its ore ex-
libit' at the Chicago fair in 1898, and
believe pieces were donated to the
'Ioscow university.
Policy of the Company
1.-The policy of the company will be
0 develop and block out ore enough
0 keep a 5O-ton mill running con
family when started. Owing to war
nd scarcity of labor, it has taken
hree years to reach the objective
hitch under ordinary conditions should

lent for generating all its own cleo
rio power for mine and mill"

ASKS PENSIONS FOR
ALL INDIAN WAR Vets
PAST g. YEARS OLD
FRENCH ADVISES OF BILL INTRO
DUCED BY HIM IN
CONGRESS

Pensions for all veterans of the Nez-
perez Indian war who have reached the
age of go years, despite the fact that
their names no not appear on the mus
ter roll of Indian war volunteers, is
provided in bill recently introduced
in congress by Representative Burton
i. French of Idaho. Mr.. French has
written to this effect to Hon. A + Park
er, of this city, and has sent to Mr. Park
er a copy of the bill.
The bill would provide pensions to
survivors of Indian wars in campaigns
in Utah. Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and
Colorado, from 1858 to 1888, inclusive
provided the veterans are 90 years of
age, or more. The measure also grants
pensions to surviving widows of officers
and enlisted men in these campaigns.
Where Records Are Missing
The bill provides that "where there
is no record of enlistment or muster into |
the service Of the United States in any
of the wars mentioned in this act, the |
record of pay by the United States shall |
be accepted as full and satisfactory |
proof of such enlistment and service. -
The measure further provides that, |
@ when there is no report of service or
payments for same in the war depart
ment or treasury department, the appli-
cant may establish service by satisfact-
tory evidence from the records on file
in the several state or territorial ar
or if such records do not exist
by affidavits of two reliable citizens
of the United States, subject to such
rules as may be laid down by the depart
ment Of the interior"
Difficulties Encountered
"This question:" writes Representa-
tive French, els one to which have
given a great deal of attention and
have had the matter up carefully with
the commissioner of pensions, also with
others in his office wro have had more

ans / have also had the matter up with
the committee on pensions and have
been trying to work out satisfactory
solution. ! a m met in the committee by
he proposition that, if my bill should be
passed, il would draw down the bars to
all kinds of questionable cases; that
here would be fraud, and the like. h

Hold Fry in Ponds
By system of cooperation, the fry
can be held in the rearing ponds of a
centralized hatchery and distributed at
opportune times to suit the require
ments or conveniences of the applying
districts so that there will be no neces-
sity for a loss in transit or an incon-
venience in the making of distributions.
Such a system will be closely adhered
to by the department.
One of the principal problems in the
district, as in practically
all districts of the state, is the building
of fshways over dams that have been
;orely neglected heretofore or improper
" constructed. These dams are now
maintained on the Clearwater and Sal
non rivers in the Grangeville section.

HOW THEY WE'RE CAUGHT

The crew was engaged in a fire on
the northern boundary of the Nez-
perez forest just west of the head of
the Bitter Root valley, where this forest
adjoins the Selway. They had been
fighting a fire in the Salmon mountain
region when the Selway fire worked
around behind them, trapping them be-
tween the two fires.
They had no chance to escape by
flight or to rescue any of their equip
ment. and only saved themselves by
plunging into the stream.
Forest officials are at a loss to know
the cause of the numerous fires that
have broken out during the last few
weeks They could not have been
caused by lightning, it is pointed out,
because there has been no electrical
storm in the mountains for weeks.

but humorous new fires have broken
out and the situation as a whole in cen
trial Idaho is declared to be the most
serious of any time during the entire
summer.
One hundred fifty men are fighting
fires on the Nezperce forest alone, and
large forces are battling the flames on
the Selway and Idaho forests, in Idaho
county.
AT ELK CITY
On the Kirk Fork Of American river,
in the Elk City district, from 1900 to
2000 ceres have burned over. Eighty
men are fighting this fire, and have
been able to hold the fire lines for
