DISAPPOINTED
Many Who Went to Boise Expecting
a Rich Sensational field
Find Nothing
DIFFERENT STORIES
Among The First Sent Out Were
Many "Fuiry Tales," And
Ininginnry Scoop.
Ycstorday papora began arriving in
Boise containing Btories that correspon
dents hero for tho trial have written
and some of the stories, which show
how the city has impressed different
writers, as n colle:tion, are exceedingly
interesting. It is a matter of congratu
lation that most of the newspaper men
have seemingly endeavored to send
their papers tho "real stuff." They
have manifestly tried to tell things as
they have found them.
Btomo of the writers from the eastern
states came to Boise expecting to find
the city all excitement, with soldiers
patrolling the 6treets, with artillery
guarding the state house and capitol
building, with Governor Gooding travel
ing to and from the state houte in a
closed carriage suriounded by a detail
of mounted, well armed soldiers, with
the attorneys on both sides of the case
traveling about turiouiulcd by secret
service men. They expected to find
that business had been practi.ully sus
pended in the city, tho stieets btreain
ing with citizeus and detectives ail
armed to the teeth,
Of course many of the news writer
camo primed for tome veiy excellent
material for sensational stories. Many
of them, perhaps, thought they tiwo
taking their lives in their hands in
coming to Idaho. Of com so they were
disappointed. Their no.scs for news
-were baUly out of joint when t'icy
stepped off tlie train and found them
selves fu a busy, bustling, beautiful
city; where there seemed al sjlutely no
excitement over a lything and where the
aveiago citizen app.uently appeared
more interested in tho arrival of" a new
heir to the taione of fcp.l:i t-.;.i in the
approaching trial.
Taking all of this intj consideration
it must not bo supposed that tome of
the writers felt it incumbent upon them
selves to "break the news gently" to
their home papers. They must send in
something sensational once or twice to
let the bosses at homo know they were
working and a few of the stories sent
baek on tho start were certainly a bit
flashy. Some of tho newspaper men
allowed the streets to be filled with
detectives for tho first day or so. One
man sent in what he called a ','pocos,
to the effect that ho had learned the
prosecntion had captured Jack Simp
kins and was keeping him a prisoner in
the inner rrom of Judjje Hawley's office
suite until ho could bo ueed as a state
witness against Haywood. One man
had discovered that tho guards had un
earthed a plan to blow up' the state
house.
There were several fairy talcs among
the first bunch of stories ent, but
tho one which most scorched the wires
and mado old Mother Truth look like a
plucked parrot right in tho middle of a
head-on collision was the one printed
in the Chicago Examiner under the
Boiso date line, tagged ''Hearst special
service," which read to the effect that
President Roosevelt has ordered tho
troops at Bois-e barracks to inovo into
tCe city to protect the court house and
jail; tiiat soldiers "now surround the
court house" and that largo cannons
had been placed in position to train on
any mob that might gather to take the
place by rush.
That stuff was too strong for Dunni
gan. He's their correspondent hero,
bnt lie don't seem to bo a fellow who
would bo apt to have that kind of a
dream just from ending Idaho grill
delicacies. No. That lino --of spice
should be put past Dunnigan.
Who sent it?
Nobody in the bunch is stepping up
to claim tho goods. Not ono of tho
corresiondents when asked about matter
seems to know,
No, Lan' sakes ; what some of them
would give to find out !
But, the boys have, for tho most part,
stifled that almost unconquerable desire
to molt tho wires with hot, fako tUrles.
Tfiey all have been tempted in the ab
eenoo of anything really exciting and
they are to be congratulated, for the
most part.
John I. Tierney of the Denver News
arrived yesterday afternoon to join the
bunch ol apecUU correspondents bere,

Mr. Ross 1$. Deyoe,-who has been
employed during the past winter
by tho General Merchandise .Firm
of Roberts and Brown has resigned
his position with that firm and on
May 20 will re-enter the employ of
the Salmon Mountain Assayer
Mines. Mr. Deyoe is a competent
assayer having studied, and
graduated, under Abbot A. Hanks,
one of San Francisco's leading
chemists and assayers. He was
employed by the Salmon Mountain
company during the summer of
1906 as assayer, and upon his re
turn to the mines will take up tho
work where he left it a few months
ago. The Salmon Mountain Min
ing Company was incorporated in
1903 with a capitalization of $50,
000. C. C. Carter is President and
Orvil Dodge is Manager. Then
property is on Salmon Mountain
inthe southern part of Coos county.
Since incorporating, the company
has been quietly but steadily de
veloping its property and has
struck an 18 inch ledge at a depth
of 150 feet. As the work progressed
continuous assays were made.
These assays have been very en
couraging to the company the low
est being $220 and the highest $331
per ton in gold, and about 15 per
cent copper. The ore is base and
will require smelting or leeching to
reduce it. Tho company is in
stalling a Redfield Rock Drill. A
mining engineer from Portland has
heen ongaged to inspect tho proper
ty and advise regarding the in
stalling of machinery to properly
work the mine. A wagon road
from Eckley to the mines via Deer
Park is also under way. The
mining industries, both placer and
quartz, of Coos county are by no
means the least of its interests, and
tho outlook for this particular
property is very promising.
