FROZEN TO DEATH--We learn from the

known as dutch Pete, whose name was Pc
ter Creager, was frozen to death, Feb 2Ist, on
the mountain about 16 miles beyond Camp
Three Forks Creager, Frank Souther and
C. C. Motif started from Flint together on
foot, Feb. 18th, for White Pine, and during a
violent snow storm on the 2lst, Creager gave
out His comrades wrapped him up in his
blankets, and left him. -Four miles on they
camped, and in the morning found their feet to
be frozen. They turned back, and near where
they had left Creager found his frozen corpse
in the trail, and his blankets half mile further
on. souther and Motif finally made their way
TO T. H. Smiths, at Three Forks of Owyhce,
and Smith took them in wagon to Comstock's,
II miles, whence Col. Brady Of Camp Three
Forks had them taken to Tracy's, and from
there they reached Silver City, March 1st, by

NORTHERN IDAHO - party Of twelve
miners came into Lewiston, about the middle
of February, from the new dggngs on Moose
creek $50 miles above, and brought with them
several thousands of dollars in dust which they
had dug out since last Fall, to purchase pro-
visions, and return there. They represent the
diggings to be as rich and extensive rs the old
Florence diggngs, and the gold is coarse. In
consequence Of their reports forty men lief,
Lewiston in small boats, to ascend the Clear
water and thence reach the mines early In
addition to this report, private letter receiv
ed in Boise City from w. A. Goulder, member
Of the Legislature from Shoshone county, who
wrote from Pierce City, Feb. 18th. states that
himself and many others will leave that vicin
ty for the Moose creek as soon rs the travel
opens. Very little snow had fallen in North
ern Idaho this Winter. Aparty of miners had
reached Pierce City in seven days from Moose
creek, and Travelled nearly all the way on snow
shoes. They brought encouraging reports Of
the new diggings.

AN ELEcrR1cAL ENGINE.

The San Francisco papers Of March I'd give
account of new kind OF driving power engine
recently introduced in the printing rooms OF
the French Courier, by the owner and editor'
NJ. Derbec. The engine is driven by mixture
of gas and air, ignited by electric spark. IL Is
of four.horse power (American standard) ana
easily drives n Hoe railway press. From the
description given of the new engine in the
Times we extract the following:
The machine is set in motion by opening the
gas mouth-piece, and turing the ty-Wneei 80
as to cause the piston to advance tn the ill't OF
its course. The space formed behind the PTS
ton fills with gas and air, and the electric spark
iguites the mixture. The air expanding and
tho oxygen consuming the carbon, the hydro
gen of the gas produces in this space strong
pressure upon the surface of the piston, which,
when it reaches the end of its course, returns
again, because the space left behind 1t Is pow
erless, owing to the dissipation OF the gases IN
the atmosphere of the escape-chest But as
soon as the piston has begun the return move
ment a new space is formed behind 1t, into
which the gas and air have penetrated Inc
electric spark again ignites the mixture, ana
the piston starts back again under the influence
of the same force. The engine IS started UT
stopped instantly by touching little button
which shuts off the current of electricity. Its
weight is about six hundred pounds, and its
size is so small that it can be placed anywhere
on lower or upper floor AS neither steam
nor fire are used there is not the slightest dan.
ger in using it, In construction. principle and
operation 1t is perfectly simple, requiring only
to have the yoltac battery to produce the cleo
fhrtitI
and an occasional cleaning is all that is required
to keep it in order for IN indefinite time. The
cost Of the consumption of gas is trfllng; two
cubic yards per hour for each effective horse
power, or an expense of from ~ to 10 cents
One-half this expense suffic-s when running at
only half rate OF speed. Hundreds are used
in Paris for nnuln-rable purposes. The H.
ventor, NJ Lenoir, has large mandatory OF
them in the French Capital.

ALTURAs CoUNTY.-M. 0. Moody lately ar
rived in Boise City from Aturas and gave the
Statesman information of the condition of things
In that county. A mild winter was had, and
the snow was already fast disappearing. 1t
was about six feet deep on the mountains be.
tween Rocky Bar and Atlanta, but not more
than fifteen inchesa Atlanta City. The noted
Atlanta ledge has lately yielded richer ores
than ever. From one vein of six inches width
the ore assayed $26,54O per ton, and in vein
TWO feet width, near this, the ore is fifty per
cent pure silver. In one tunnel of twenty feet
width the ores average $500 per ton. The
Monarch Company have been crushing during
the winter, and have on hand, awaiting the
opening of the roads for transportation, nearly
1000 pounds of bullion.

We have the authority of the present Comp

books and accounts in such condition that
nothing can BIZ made of them. Is this not a

Comptroller's office? And is not Bshep there

the word defaulter." A dishonest Comptroller
