ENERGETIC MEN.

Maj. r. NJ. Mcdowell, the Supcrin-
tendent Of the EImira Company, has
done well-much better than could
have reasonably been expected
He took charge Of the Banner mill ard
mines under very trying circumstan
ces, the machinery being considera-
bly, out of repair, and the expense Of
putting it in shape being heavy.
Notwithstanding all this, he made the
mines pay for all the dead work done,
and running expenses, leaving a sur
plus to keep the mines in operation
during the winter The labors en-
trusted to bis care were arduous, and
as the Major is not practical miner,
he had to devote great deal Of time
to the work under his care. He is
thirty pounds lighter than when he
took charge of the works, only
short time ago.
Much credit is also due to Mr..
l.. G.. Abbott, who organized the com
pany, and who was sent here to ex-
anime tho mines. His attention was
attracted to the Banner property soon
after his arrival. On examining it he,.
being thorough, practical miner, saw
that it was valuable, and so reported.
He was the first experienced man that
ever examined the lodges Of Boise
county in the interests of outside CON-
panies, and the first agent that was
able to comprehend the reasons why
capital was not invested in them, and
to see their richness. Mr.. Abbott is
a man whose opinions on mining mat
tiers are good.

Injustice.

The Democrats of Owyhee ccun.

because Maj Hay would not allow his
valuable journal, the Acalanche, to be
used as their organ. He chastises
them as they justly deserve, and calls
on the voters of that county to express
their Indignation against such a party
on the 9th of November. A political
party that sends out of its own county
for printing that can be done at home,
depriving their paper, which is build
ing up the interests of the who coun-
ty, of the work it is Justly entitled to,
is not deserving Of a single vote. We

Fatalism.

"The first time | went to Malta, |

effects of fatalism. | was in Alexan-
dria, aud | saw the mail steamer leave
whilst | was rowing towards it, SO
asked the captain of a steamer close
by that appeared about to start,
whether he would give me a passage
to Malta if he was going there. Ger
tainly, if you don't mind my cabins
being filled with merchandise, and my
decks being covered with pilgrims on
their way back to Tunic from Mecca
The second day that we were at sea,
number of these pilgrims died of te-
yer, and were incontinently thrown

death in order to share the fate of their
friends They too, went overheard,
with smiles of beatitude on their coun-
tenances. | demonstrated with the
captain, being then young and tender
hearted. He replied that it was an af-
fair between their shick and them
selves, and he had nothing to do with
it beyond a general wish that, on our
arrival at Malta, we should not be put
into quarantine. l then had it out
with the shiek, WHO could speak lit
tie French. He explained to me that
any one dying during a pilgrimage
went direct to Paradise, and that it
was friendly act to throw over pill
grims with the fever, without looking
too closely whether they were dead,
more particularly when they them
selves encouraged the pious fraud."-

A SUCCESS.
Inc Banner Mines Proven to be Rich-worA
Mills Badly Needed.

Inc Banner mill has closed down
Tor the winter. and most all Of the
men arc III town. The Superintend-
ent, Maj. R. NJ Mcdowell. is highly
pleased with the property and coun.
Try, aud pronounces Banner one Of the
richest mining districts on the coast
during the run on Grown Point ore
Si5,OoO was taken out, $4,000 of it
during the last fourteen days. When
it IS taken into consideration that the
furnaces were only Of capacity enough
10 roast from five to six tons of ore
per day, the mine has been proven
much richer than anybody thought,
ahd we are sorry that the Company
ala not have the time to get the neces.
sary supplies to enable them to run all
winter. The money taken out this
TALL paid all the expenses Of running
besides a handsome profit. The mines
are looking splendid. A force of
twelve men will be engaged at run
nlng tunnels and putting the mine in
shape generally during the winter.
AS soon as spring opens "a large fur
mace OF a different pattern will be
erected and the mill put in good shape,
when they will be able to work TWEEN
ty tons Of ore per day. The success
OF the Emira Company will attract
capital to our mines, and the prosperi-
ty that will follow will be permanent
There are many rich mines in the Ban
ner District, among which are the Gal
weston, Panamint, Banner Number
Two, Columbus and Harden. They
are all thought to equal in richness
the Crown Point or Wolverine. Bnt
little benefit will result from them till
another mill is erected, as the one
there cannot do much custom work,
the mines owned by the company
being able to yield sufficient ore to
keep it running right along. Some ef-
fort ought to be made during the win
ter to show to capitalists the richness
of the mines and the great need for
more mills. There are many lodges
in the county that are fully as rich as
those at Banner, and the prospects for
the investment of capital in our
midst early in the spring are very flat
tering.

scufle with a Bear.

Mr.. .Chas. Norton, who has been en-
gagged IN mining some fifty miles from
here on the North Fork Of Boise river,
had rather severe encounter last Sat
urday with .nother bear, upon whom
he accidentally came while out hunt
ing. He thinks the bear must have
been asleep as he approached within
q lew feet of where she was lying
with her cubs before either party OBJ
served the other. She sprang from
her bed and seized him so suddenly
that he did not nave time to use his
gun which he had swinging over his
shoulder by the strap When once
In her embrace he found his arms pin
Toned and the bear using her teeth on
his face in a fearful manner. In the
course of the tussel they lost their bal
ance and rolled forty or fifty feet down
the mountain. This broke the affec-
tomato % hug of Mrs. Bruin, and
gave n orion chance to use his gun,
which he did so efectually as to dis
patch her at one shot. When the af-
talr was over Mr.. Norton found the
bone of his upper jaw fractured, sew
eral OF his teeth loose, his face badly
bit and torn, bad cash cut in one of
his arms, besides being badly bruised.
He was able however to make his
way home and was brought TO town
by friends. His wounds have been
dressed and he is doing well DR.. E.
Smith, his physician, says he is in a
fair way to get we'll Idahoan.

IF a patient cannot gargle. take a

sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour OF
birthstone upon it, let the sufferer in

the fungus will die. If plentifully
used the whole room may be filled al
most to sufocation, and the patient
can walk about IN it, inhaling the

Democratic DemagOgism.

When the greehbacks were issned
as a war measure, the Democrats vo-
ted against them in Congress, de-
nounced them in their press, and de-
clared them unconstitutional in their
conventions. After the war was over
the Democratic Judges of the Su-
preme Court gave an opinion against
their constitutiOnality. And now,
when an issue that was justified by
the Republicans only on the ground
of military necessity, and which was
pronounced by the Democrats unjust
ifiable. even on that ground, is with
in hulf Of per cent. Of par, and the
Treasury is prepared to redeem it ac-
cording to law, the Democrats de-
manded its unlimited continuance
and its Unlimited increase. When it
was necessary, they opposed it; when
it is less necessary, they support 1t.
They are opposed to greenbacks in
time of war, when the public credit
Is strained TO It's utmost tension. They
are in favor of them in time of peace,
when the public credit is at the high
est point. When opposition TO the
greenhacks embarrassed the Govern
ment the Democrats opposed them
when their continuance can be dis
pensed with they support them. The
greenback was Republican measure;
but coupled with its issue was the
pledge of the netiOnai faith that il
should never exceed a fixed amount,
and that it should be redeemed at the
earliest period practicable. Under
that pledge and with wise system Of
finance it ha. rendered an important
office in supplying currency and In
facilitating the operations of the Gov
ernment. Under that pledge and with
that system it has now nearly reach
ed the period fixed for it's reden, ptiOn;
and to postpone that period aad to in
crease the issue, as the Democracy
now demand, would he violation of
the principles of its origin, as well as
of all sound financial policy .-Ne,O
