THE SPLENDID SHOWING OF THE BANNER AND OZARK HAS STIMULATED OTHER ENTERPRISES. From North J. N. Taylor, United States Mineral Surveyor, bas.just come down from Florence and reports great activity in tbe'camp and that there is more development going on at the-present time than there ever has been before in central Idaho. "The Banuer" said Mr.

Taylor "is working sixty men in getting their mine ready start as soon as their hundred-ton mill they are putting in is completed. This property das developed into a great mine, I believe the largest free milling gold mine in the Northwest. They have twenty-seven feet of $14.00 ore in one drift, and twenty-three feet of $66.00 ore in another. This property was bought by a New York syndicate composed of Henry Clews, Arbuckle and others a short time ago for two-hundred thousand dollars, and the value of the property today is hard to estimate as they have million dollars worth of ore blocked out. "The Ozark mine lying north of the Banner is also drifting on a twenty-four foot ledge on the 100 foot level, and there is no question but that it will devel one into a grreat mine, as it has the richest ore iu the camp and has a greater showing as far as developed than the Banner.

They expect to get the mill now on the property started by the first of March and add stamps enough as soon as the roads per mit in the spring to make their capacity 100 tons per day, and with those two big mines with others that are getting ready to start, the people of Florence look for a great boom in, the spring. The town. of Florence is full of raining men looking for bonds on property where the owners are not able to do the necessary development to put the property on a paying basis but as usual the prospectors' idea since the development of the Banner and Ozark is such that they are hard todeal with in the way of price, but the people who are looking for the property have made liberal offers since the Banner and Ozark started, and I am satisfied will pick up most of the best properties between now and spriug." GAS PROSPECTING SOON. WILL BEGIN The directors of the Pleasan-ton Gas and Oil at a meeting Saturday night, decided to make arrangements looking toward boring for gas. Committees were appointed and it is ex pected that the work will com mence, v.

There seems to be a difference of opinion between the directors as to whether they should let the contracts of sinking the wells or buy the machinery and have their own work done. Two pa pers pro and con on the subject are being-submitted to the stock holders. John T. Johnson.of Mound City, Ks, Takes Cocaine in Lawyers Office. SURGEON REVIVES HIH K.

STEPMOTHKR VVASH1S FRIEND. Dr. Johnson was twice married and his second wife now lives at 101 Munford court. Although the stepmother of the man who tried to take his own life this morning, she has been as devoted as a mother to the son.

She sent him to the Keely institute, but he took to drink again. It was to see his stepmother Johnson came to Kansas City yesterday. He had an appointment with her at the law office this morning. When he appeared he was under the influence of liquor. The lawyer and his stepmother told him to steady himself as there were some papers involving the estate they wanted him to sign.

He replied taat he would soon do that. He then produced the tablets and swallowed them and was soon suffering from poison. SENDS MESSAGE TO HIS WIFE. Susie that I died easy," he said as the convulsious induced by the drugs began. He revived and tried to get some more poison, but it had been removed.

He was taken to the police station in a comatose condition and when brought to consciousness he declared that he would "finish the job next The Susie he mentioned was his wife.
