An Idaho Bonanza.

Fourteen years ago a party of miners
who were prospecting through the Sier-
ra Nevadas, found in the mountains
near the centre of what is now the Ter
ritory of Idaho. near the present site of
Atlanta, an immense vein of argentifer-
GUS ore. The men were hunting for
placer mines, and knew little about
quartz, save enough to tell them that
the ore from their discovery contained
silver. They wandered up and down
the golden shores of the Pacific, drift
ing from camp to camp as fresh STAN
pedes occurred during the ensuing
years.
Last spring the members of the origi-
nal party, which had become separated
during the lapse Of years, happened to
direct their steps to Boise City, and
meeting there, resolved to again visit
the scene of their previous prospecting.
They QUILTED and went out. finding
the silver lode without trouble. They
proceeded to the work of development,
and were astonished to find that the vein
of the lode was sixty feet in width, and
that the ore was worth from four hun
bred to one Thousand dollars per ton.
The company staked out all the law al
lows, and are now on the road to
wealth. Other miners flocked into the
district, and this particular lead has
been taken up for a distance of nine
miles, the vein being as wide and the
ore as rich throughout its entire length
as at its first discovery. 1t is greater
than the famous Comstock.

The Story of Straight and Cook, who
aSsyed Their Bacon " but Lost
Their Beef.
TELEGRAPH CAMP,

TELEGRAPH CAMP,
ALUM SPRINGS, Wyo., October 2
Saturday evening Messrs. Straight q
Cook, en- route from tile Hills for
Cheyenne with a wagon and two yoke
of oxen,' camped within a few rods of
us. Early yesterday morning they
learned that their cattle were missing.
Taking the trail as soon as. it was light
enough to see distinctly, they followed
it around hills and through ravines for
about ten miles, when two shots were
heard, evidently coming from the d;rec-
tion in which they were travelling. On
ascending a hill, the sight which pre-
scented itself was not one to inspire
their hearts with joy. At some distance
below where the hunters were, and I'M
der a small knoll by the side of a deep
ravine, were seen about a dozen In
dams, just finishing the job of butcher
ing the lost cattle, while about as many
more of their dusky brethren stood
guard on either side of the knoll, impa-
tiently awaiting a summons to break
fast.
The boys did not think it prudent to
ask any questions regarding the right
these children of the plains had to the
lost oxen, but Immediately bent their
steps toward camp, invoking repeated
blessings upon the noble red man. The
Indians at one time made a start for the
owners of the stock, but seeing that the
latter had a good position for defense,
changed their minds and departed to-
ward the Cheyenne river.
Straight and Cook are in livery un-
pleasant ~predicament. Their wagon
stands by the road side, with a small
supply of provisions, but the water here
is almost intolerable, and they will be
obliged to wait here for the passing of
some team that car take them to n
better Place.

A Colorado exchange says: "The
woods are full of candidates. We have
had an emissary with a lantern out all
day to find N and he reports the city
deserted by them. A few more days to
tote the weary load and a few more
days to totter on the road, and the
agony of the candidates will be over,
and at least one-half of them will have
found that the candidate born Of cir
cumstances is of few days and full of
trouble. He springs up like a hopper
grass and jumps like a jackass, his path
Is full of footballs, and his ways are
devious to avoid the d. bs. who beset
him on every hand. Verify his bed is
not of roses, and he often wishes the
other fellow had been nominated"

Pistol Practise a, Bear Springs.

A lively shooting ARRAY occurred at
Joseph Armijo's Bear Springs ranch,
thirty-eight miles north of this city, on
the Black Hills road, about 6 o'clock
Sunday evening, Mathew Farley,
who is bartender for Armijo at the
ranch, being severely if not fatally
wounded. Farley, it seems, was rather
intimate with a fair maiden named
Washkella, who is step-daughter to
Armijo. Farley had been drinking
during Armijo's absence, and IN Armi-
JOS return from Chug-Water, where
he was under guard for buying govern
ment arms and clothing, he felt bad,
and had been drinking also. Farley
had been talking to the step-daughter
when some quarrel arose between him
and Armijo. Farley said he could shoot
any Mexican, and fired ut Armijo.
Armijo then fired at Farley, wounding
him, it is supposed fatally. Armijo
came to Cheyenne to surrender himself,
and returned to the ranch with a sur
geon.

The soldiers reunion at Denver Satur-
day evening was a glorious affair. Over
n thousand boys in blue formed in
line and the procession of civic organ
izations and citizens in addition filed
the street in close marching order for a
distance of nearly a mile. 1t was the
grandest demonstration of the kind
ever witnessed in Denver, and the
glowing account of the doings, as writ
ten up by the talerted Tribune man,
makes us wish we had been there.

PROFIT AND LOSS.
hin1ton letter to Inter Ocean.

Washington letter to Inter ocean.
The United States Treasurership is a
big elephant. A great many men want
it, but they can't afford to take it.
Under the law, the Treasurer is re-
sponsible for every mistake made and
every theft that results in loss to the
government. Treasurer New has al
ready spent more than his salary in ad.
justing balances on account Of such
losses, and since Bristow's administra-
ton the precedent which allowed the
Treasurer to make all of his appoint.
ments has been disregarded, and all
the appointments are made by order of
the Secretary, as in other bureaus.
This. increases the liability of the
Treasurer very much. Mr.. New is
anxious to retire at once, but no one
can be found to take his place. The
position has been offered to three men.
but neither of them could procure the
bond of $l,000,000 required for the
reasons stated above.

CONNECTICUT FOR BRISTOW.

Hartford letter to N. T. Times.
The position of at least one of the
uncertain states at the opening of the
struggle at Cincinnati seems to be now
settled, for it is declared that Connec-
ticut will not only vote for Bristow
from the first, but will work heartily
and honestly for him as long as there
is any chance for his nomination.
Gen. Hawley freely and publicly an
nounces that his purpose in going to
Cincinnati is to do all in his power to
secure the nomination of Bristow, and
that his information leads him to be-
lieve that all, or at least very nearly
all, the other delegates agree with him
in that matter. The delegations not,
however, pledged or trammeled in any
way, and there may be a small minor
ity who will vote for some one else;
but the Connecticut influence, what
ever it will amount to, will be for
Bristow from the start, for the state
has entirely gone out of the favorite
sson business.
