In llio conatruclloni of Iho dam lhat has just been complete } 2,000,000 feet of lumber rwero used nnd 7,000 cubic yards of granite nuisoucry built , whllo the rock fills below 'nnd above the dam aggregate 11,000 cubic yards and the earth fills 23,000 cubic ynrda. The construction of the dam Is a Umber crib filled with rock with three aprons to break the fall of water. The aprons are built of two courses of 10x12 timbers laid on the itwolvo-Inch side , thus giving a total thick ness of twenty Inches of solid timber. The rises nro covered with two thlckneaacs of three-Inch plank lap-jointed and the back iwllh two-Inch plank similarly laid , against which a dirt fill Is placed and rlprapped be low any possible wave actlcia or Iloattag drift. Uelow Iho dam for a dlslanco of twenty- flvo feet the river was filled with largo rock to the surface of the water , llio rock be.'ng liold In plnco by i close row of round piles. , The distance from plank facing on back of ilam to the row of round piles Is approxi mately Bcventy-llvo feet. The crest Is twcnly- nlno feet above mean low water and the Jceiglh \ 4S5 feet. The cribbing reals on. the beil of the river ( which la a. compact material composed of Bravel arad grnnlto sand and practically Im- ( pervlous to water. Coffer dams , with the ' ( ilieut piling forming same , being driven to depths of only four and five feet had their enclosed spaces exceptionally free from water when working tinder n head of ten feet with the material excavated ns close lo Hit- piling as Its natural slope- would allow without un dermining the sheet pilw. Doth above and below the cribbing was 'driven a row of triple-lap sheet piling , built of : ix2 Inch plno plank sillily liolled together driven to n depth of twelve feet below the bed of Iho river or , when the ajiaUrKi ! was too hard , until the pllo was in danger of splitting , or wcuhl go no farther under the blows of a 2,250 jwund hammer falling onlo nn 1.100 pound cast follower placed on tlio head of the pile. All masonry , where possible , had a similar row of alieet piling driven around Its foundation < is an uxtra precaution ugalnst a current forming under the structure. Government Investigators at the slto placed itho flow of the river , at mean low water , at 3,300 cublo feet per necccid , ( tils amount with n twenty-ulna foot wall gives 5,951,250 foot pounds per second or 10S7fi horse power. On the east bank of the elver a fill , with a elope of c no und one-half by one feet on the down stream and two to one on tlio up stream Ride , was built with a irasonry core to Iho height of the abutment and extended back tn the corresponding contour on the hill eldo. This fill Is practically an extension of the dam proper , hut not designed as a wolr. Adding the length oC the till , 2S5 feet to tdo crest length , 485 feet , gives a tolal longlh from west abutment to east end of 770 feet. Iilalio Ntiirkinoiir > rOCATELJA Idaho , Feb. 25.

An old prospector tells n story of the first dnys of mining In Idaho which sounds Ilko n romance , but which he vouches for as being strictly true , and wkhlch agrees with the story frequenlly led ! by the Into Judge Craig of Douglas county , who wns ono ot the party that staked oft the firs claims In Idaho , Hays the Denver Republican "The llrst nnd of plnccr gold In Idaho , ' paid the old pioneer , "was made early in Iii62 by Jim Warren , a prospector who pir In the time when not engaged In the lleh In patronizing the gaming table. A lltllo camp had been eslabllshed at Florence , bit the diggings were poor nnd there wns so lltlle lo be made that the men drifted uway In litlle squads to find betlcr pay. Warren and four others started out together , bu soon afterward n disagreement nrost nm Warren left the party to go It alone. After two or three days he cnmped one evening on the stream now known ns Warren creek nnd , there being fair Indications , the ncx day was spent In prospectlr.jr. "Panning seven pans of dirt ho saved the proceeds and taking samples ot the quartz went back to Florence , -where the gold wns weighed and found to bo worth 70 cents , or 10 cents to the pan. This was not a big thing for those days , but It led to the ex pectation of be-tler slrlkes , and nn expedi tion of sixteen men was organized to In vestigate the new llnd. "On Ihelr way lo Warren creek thej came ncross Warren's four companions from whom ho liad parted several days previously. They were 'tin-horns' ' and poor prospectors , nnd had been unsuccessful Heelng"Warren with the crowd , they con cluded that ho had made a strike and fol- iMved him. Warren nnd his friends , no caring to share the discovery with the four men , resorted lo n ruse lo throw them off the scent , nnd spent several dnys on Secesl creek , so-called form the war of secession which had then been recently heard of The four gamblers , being nearly out of provisions , were frozen out and compelled to return to Florence. The expedition thei hastened to Warren creek and staked on the Warren meadows for themselves and their friends. Eight men were sent back to Florence for provisions , the rest remain ing to work the claims. Whllo the eight men were gone some of those who re mained discovered better diggings at Sum mit flat , obtaining from $2 to $1 to the pan "Tho claims at Wnrron meadows were abandoned , and new claims staked out on the new Held. When the men returned from Florence with the provisions they were fol lowed by about COO miners , who suspectci that rleh dirt had been found , and swarmci' along Wnrren creek and Its tributaries , making rich llnds everywhere. The orlglna locators were extremely fortunate In the Summit lint diggings. Two men nnmei Hesse and O. good worked together am docked out 100 ounces the llrst day and fortj ounces during tno next forenoon. The assaj ollico had just been established at IJolse and this 110 ounces ot dust were the llrsl receipts of tlu > olllce. The gold was foum lo bo worth ? 14 an ounce , the net returns of the two men for n day and a halt being $1,8CO. In three weeks Hint party of six teen men had taken out from their claims on Summit Hat 30,000 ounces of gold. Be fore the close ot the season 100,000 ounces were taken out. and the original members of the expedition had enough money to keep them comfortably for life. About as much more was taken out during the next season before the bar was exhausted. "Tho honesty of the miners In those pioneer days was Illustrated by an Incident which occurred during the stampede Trom Florence. InUio crowd of OX ) that fol lowed the eight men sent to Florence after provisions was a man nicknamed 'Boston/ of a thrifty turn , who bought two barrels of whisky and a wagon hauled by a pair of mules , his knowledge of the average prospector lending him to the conclusion that the crowd , limited to water aa a boverag-e , would soon begin to suffer from the pangs of thirst. On the way to the dig gings one , Vandeventer , offered him a hand , some advance on Iho llrst cost ot the whisky , and the offer being accepted the whisky was turned over to Vandovonter , who sat the barrels on end under a tree , took out the bends , 'hung a tin dipper on the side of each barrel , llxod a contribu tion box up against a tree , with a slot In the closed lid , and went on with the crowd leaving the Improvised saloon to take care of Itself. The miners passing to and fro would take a drink , drop a contribution Into the box and pass on. Sometimes several drinks would be taken without a re sort to the buckskin , but In the end the drinks were well paid for , nuggets worth $1 or more being frequently dropped Infer for a single drink. Strange as It may seem , there was no excessive indulgence nt the barrels , anel no one meddled with the con tribution box , and before the close of the reason Van's barrels formed one of the lni'iiniarks ' ot the country. Vandoventer pulled out a handsome sum from his mining claim , and when cold weather set In re turned to Ills barrels , built a cabin nnd opened u saloon In duo form , making a good clenn-up from his contribution box. AH long as the diggings lasted he kept his regtiiav bar , but always had a keg of whisky , a cup and a contribution box on the outside of the cabin , to accommodate those who preferred this method of In dulging in the miners' delight.

Moflost Women Bvndo Cortrvin Questions Wlion Aekod by n Mnlo Physlclnu , but Wrlto Freely to Mrs. Piukhaiii. An eminent physician says Hint "Women are not truthful , they will Ho to their physicians. " This statement should bo qualified ; women do tell the truMi , but not the whole truth , to a nmlo physician , but this Is only in regard to these painful and troublcsomo disorders [ > ucu < liar to their sex. There can be no inoro terrible ordeal to n delicate , seiisUlve , refined woman than to bo obliged to an swer certain questions when those questions nro naked , even by her family physician , This is espo dally the case with unmarried women. This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corresponding with Mrs. IMnkham. To tills good woman they can and do give every symptom , so that she really knows moro about the true condition other patients through her correspondence than the physician who per sonally questions them. Perfect confidence and candor are at once established between Mrs. Pinkham and her patients. Years ago women had no such recourse. Nowadays u modest woman asks help of n woman who understands women. If you suiter from any form of trouble peculiar to women , write at oueo to Mrs. Pinkham , Lynn , Mass. , and blio will advise you free of charge. And the fact that this great boon which Is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham , Is appreciated , the thousands of letters which are received by her prove. Many such grateful let ters as the following nre constantly pouring in ; " 1 was a sufferer from female weakness for about u year and a half. 1 have tried doctors ni.il patent medicines , but nothing helped me. 1 underwenttho horrors of local treatment , but received no hcnellt.

Finally I grew so weak 1 had to keep my bed. The pains were so hard as to almost cause spasms. When 1 could endure the pain no longer 1 was given morphine. My memory grew short' , and I gave up all hope of over getting well. Thus E dragged along. At last I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her answer came promptly. I read carefully her letter , and concluded to try Lyclin 10. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound. After taking two bottles 1 felt much bettor ; but after using six bottles I was cured. My friends think my cure almost miraculous. Her noble work is surely a , blessiug.to broken-down women. " UKACK B.
