Mining ACTIVITY
IS PREDICTED
Resumption of Mining Ac-
tivities in Upper Coun-
try In the Spring
Is Evident

During the early part of the past
week bond and lease contract was
given on two mining properties in
the vicinity Of Pine. A number of
Salt Lake engineers and geologists
spent several days In this locality
negotiating the contracts and they
departed on Saturday for owyhee
county, where they will inspect the
Blue Bird mine, with view of max
ing similar arrangement.
Similar contracts were taken on a
couple of Atlanta properties last
spring and it is predicted that opera
tions will start there during the ear
ly summer of next year.
1t is reported that the South Park
Dredging Company, who are operat-
ing at Featherville have enough
ground to keep the dredger In opera
ton for the next twelve or fifteen
years. They may possibly install
larger dredge in the near future to
work the ground in the vicinity of
the Boise river, where the bedrock
lies approximately ninety feet from
the surface While no figures are
given out by the company it is stat
ed that they are very well pleased
with the results OF each cleanup"
1t is conceded by practically every
mining man that has ever gone over
the local district that there is some
Of the best mining prospects here of
any place in the state. This mineral
belt all lies between Dixie and Allan
Ia and none OF it is more than eighty
miles from this city, which is the
base for all operators. in that sec
ton.
Rocky Bar, one of the old time
mining camps of Idaho, had at one
time population OF FIVE thousand
people and it is stated that the
ground there has merely been ''scrat-
ched," despite the fact that millions
of dollars in gold have been taken
out. One OF the biggest handicapps
that this district has ever had was
the lack of power. However, this
has been overcome to a certain ex-
tend as the transmission lines of the
Idaho Power Company now run to
Featheryille.
The Boise-Rochester mine is stat
ed to be one of the best gold proper
ties in the entire West and the fact
that this property is at the present
time lying idle is because the owners
have been negotiating for some time
past to secure more ground. It is ru-
mord that some activity on this pro-
perty may possibly be expected some !,
time during the coming summer.
The mines of the north made
Coeur d'Alene and Spokane; the
properties of Utah, Salt Lake City;
Of Colorado, Denver, why should not
Mountain Home come into its own
from the mining properties Of Ell
more County? The only logical an
swer is because we have not properly
advertised and boosted them along
whenever the occasion presented it.

WEATHER TROUBLES
LOCAL HOUSEWIVES
Electric Power Off for Short
Time Tuesday Evening
City Water System
Incapacitated

Considerable difficulty with pow
er lines was encountered in this To-
cality last Tuesday evening about
ten O'Clock and the power was turned
completely off for about twenty min
utes. Workmen were busy repair
ing the damage the greater part OF
the night.
1t is reported that the lack of pow
er damaged the motors that pump
the city water supply and as con-
sequence the water was turned off
on Wednesday morning. 1t is an
ticipated that the lack of pressure in
the pipes will cause considerable
damage throughout the city on ac-
count Of freezing pipes.
It=is also reported that the source
of supply is exceptionally low.

The resolution, which was intro

McKellar. democrat. Tennessee.
There plainly was a difference of
opinion among the democrats as to
the eNpediency OF keeping the Nickel
lar resolution ahead of pressing legis-
lation as a subject of Senate discus
sion. Senator Robinson, who said the
resolution had been introduced with
out his knowledge, quickly canvassed
sentiment on the democratic side,
while Senator Reed, republican, Penn
sylvania, was telling the Senate that
Mr. Mellon had assumed office after
he had been assured by the late
Philander Z. Knox and other legal
authorities that there was no barrier.

| new DRIVE OPENED
ON PARKING VIOLATION
Inspector Headley Announces Post
ing of So Collateral Will Not
Suffice Hereafter.

1t is going to cost anywhere from
50 to $40 to leave your automobile
parked beyond the time limit on
downtown streets from today on.
Inspector Albert j. Headley, chief
of the traffic bureau, announced to-
day that the old rule of taking 50
collateral from the all-day park er
has not been effectual enough in
bringing offenders to realize they
must not repeat the violation.
With the high cost of parking
there will appear special SQUAD of
twenty dread messengers from the
traffic bureau who specialize in ap-
preaching your car when you are in
the office and surprising you with
neat little invitation to call on
them at the first precinct
The boosting of collateral and the
assignment of additional traffic men
to the congested area are in ac-
cordance with the announced inten-
ton of the Commissioners to enforce
the parking regulations.
The city heads last week increased
the lawful parking time in the busi-
ness section from thirty minutes to
one hour, which rule is now in effect.
But If you stay more than sixty min
utes it is going to prove expensive.
1t is probable that the raising of
the collateral on parking violations
will have the effect of throwing
many of these cases that are now
forfeited into court for trial.
