snow has nearly all disappeared in
that section, and Con Driscoll's gar
den is looking very promising. He
expects his onions to be six inches

Jerome Beardsley is opening up a
new mine on the new road, with good
prospects. New hosting works have
lately been erected, and things have
a business look.
Messrs. Leighty, Tuck & Brown are
opening up their new mine in earnest,
and we predict bright future for this
mine. They are washing the surface

float rock, while the water lasts.
Messrs. Patsy Marley and Chris

The boys are running tunnel, which
will be l25 feet long, to tap it 100 feet

other mine in that district.
The late rich strikes in the district
have encouraged large number Of

Work Suspended.

The company who located the ledge
two or three months ago about a mile

ed operations owing to the heavy
flow of water, but will resume work
as soon as the mine dries up. Since
the location of the ledge a shaft forty
eight feet deep has been sunk, and a
tunnel fifty-fve feet in length has been
run on the ledge. TIE rock all through
the ledge shows plentifully in free

THE BEDROCK FLuME AGAIN.

cussed Tor many years by our miners,
but has not been investigated by CAPT
tallsts. A company was organized in
1870 and would have carried the
work through but for the interference
of two or three men here, who wrote
to the Congressional Committee on
Mines and Mining declaring that the
enterprise would be detriment to the
development of the country, and that
the project was looked on as monop-
oily by the majority of our citizens.
These influences kept the charter and
appropriations of timber from being
granted, and the company have done
nothing since. Since then many of
the stockholders have left the country,
and Mr.. Kingsley, the President of the
company, tells us that no obstacles
will be placed in the way of any new
company that would take hold of the
enterprise. The people of Idaho have
not the means to investin such large
undertaking, or there would be no ne
cessity of attracting outside capital
lists.
We have gathered some facts which
are important to any company that
may think of taking hold of the work,
and our opinions will be sustained by
the miners. For four months in the year
More and Grimes creek each contain
about FIVE thousand inches of water.
The others contain several hundred
inches. A fume properly constructed
could use all the water to advantage.
The cost of stripping the dirt from
the creek bottoms when they were
worked averaged about fifty cents per
cubic yard. 1t can be seen at a
glance when we look at the expenses
of working these claims that the
ground was enormously rich. The
dirt that would pay then to wash was
only from two to six feet deep, with
from six TO fifteen feet of dirt 10 re-
move. Men who wheeled the dirt off
received Sc and 81 per day. Expert
enced miners can readily see that the
ground worked was enormously rich,
and they can also see that what would
pay handsomely now could not be
worked so as TO pay expen ies then.
During the time when the creeks were
being WORKED men thought not OF how
the ground would pay in after years,
and allowed it to he covered with tail
ings, consequ- ntly the amount of un-
worked ground that can be got at in |
no other way than by bedrock hume |
is large.
In referring to the files of the
World we find an estimate made in
1870, of the value OF the ground per
cubic yard, the amount the aume
would carry off in twenty-four hours,
aid expense of running it, and an an
nual profit of 100000 predicted.
These figures look to US to be too
high, although good many miners
think not. Even half that amount,
with an investment Of 500, 900, would
be enormous.
The expense of sending an expert
here to examine the country would be
but little, and we hope some company
with capital will consider the matter
worth looking after. That the scheme
is a practical one we know, and that
when once investigated by a solid
company that the aume will be built
we have on doubt.
We have agitated the question so
much without the people taking that
interest in it that they should that we
are sometimes tempted to stop urging
something to be done, and retire in

COMING TO THE FRONT.

We are glad to observe that the advice of
the SUNDAY GLOBE to the churches relative
to their duty as to the suffering in the South
has been taken in the proper spirit. Last
Sunday collections were taken up in most of
the churches in aid of the sufferers by vel
low fever, and other means of raising funds
were inaugurated which give promise that
material aid will be rendered from this d.
rection. Some Of the churches will also
take up collections to-day for the purpose,
and we trust that they will amount to suf-
fcient sum to enable us to point with pride
to the figures.
Munifcent as have been the donations of
the people of the North to their sorely
stricken brethren, there is no danger that
they will be too great. 1t must be remem-
bered that the people in all the infected dis
tricts are absolutely helpless. They are de-
barred from all commerce with the surround
ing country, and all industry at home is at
an absolute stand-still. Every man, woman
and child, therefore, in the infected towns IS
more or less dependent upon charity for sup
port. Thus far there have been about six
thousand deaths from epidemic, while those
who have been or still are sick number about
twenty-five thousand. All Of them must
have nurses, medical attendance and medi-
cines. Tho cost of attendance upon each

Il SHODDY JOB.

The GLOBE of Friday called attention to
the positively unsafe condition of the new
wing to the capitol and it's inadequacy to sus-
tain crowd. Of course the St. Paul eve1l-
ing paper and the Minneapolis morning
paper rushed to the defense of the s'job.'
They always did defend steals in all quarters
Scarcely had the words been uttered when
proof positive of the wretched nature
of the work was made apparent
by the falling of the vault, as elsewhere
noted. The whole job corresponds to this
arch. 1t is positive disgrace to have such
a worthless and half-erected structure
palmed off upon the State. It is shoddy
from roof to basement. The lumber is
poor and mean. The mortar was simply
mud, there being not more than one barrel
of lime where there should have been ten.
But the most serious matter is
the lack of supports in the
basement. We understand that the
Governor intended to put in at least two
more pillars and since the accident of yester-
day he will have the whole building exam
ined y competent architects. Whoever is
at fault in this matter should be exposed
without fear or favor.

The Terrible Scourge Which Affiicts Mi

The Terrible Scourge Which Affiicts a Min
nesota City.
While the hearts of our people are bleeding
with sympathy for the people suffering from
the terrible ravages of the yellow fever scourge,
there is community in our own State, the city
Of Mankato, suffering little if any less from
the ravages of one of the most dread diseases
of this latitude-the diphtheria. The disease
ago and has now become 80 prevalent
that as matter Of precaution, necessity
almost, the public schools have been
closed while the fatalities are becom-
ing most alarming. During the past
week the visits of the angel Of death has car
ried mourning into many families. The sad
dest case yet brought to our noJice is that in
the family of Mr.. Samuel Randall "a gentleman
we'll known to all the old residents of St. Paul.
week ago his household embraced four bright
young faces. ranging from to l6 years of age
bright promising children, the eldest a
young girl just budding into womanhood-
pride and joy of her parents. Tuesday last the
first succumbed to the ravages of the dread
disease. Wednesday another gave up its young
life. Thursday night and Saturday morning
the last one of the four expired. In the face
of such affection mere words of human sym.
pathy are of little avail, but the general sor-
row felt and expressed among the acquaintan.
ces of Mr.. Randall upon the receipt of the sad
news. was creditable to our common com.
munity.

person sick will not average less than
the dead has not been less than hundred
dollars each. 1t will thus be seen that the
cost of nursing the sick and lnterring the
dead has amounted thus far to more than
three and half millions of dollars, independ-
ent of maintaining the we'll who have no
means of subsistence. The North has con-
tributed nearly a million and a half to assist
the cause; the remainder has been borne by
the victims themselves. New Orleans. which
is a comparatively wealthy city, has sent
word that she has received all the help she
wants; that she can take care of herself in the
future. But none of the other towns are as
fortunate. Memphis, Vicksburg, Grenada,
Port Gibson, Holly Springs, Greenville,
towns are all suffering for want of physi-
clans, nurses, clothing, food and medi
cines. They must be assisted, and
from present appearances there is no
likelihood of an over-supply Of money. We
at the North can have no conception of how
terrlbie 1t Is to pass through an epidemic
such as the yellow fever, which strikes down
whole families at once-the old and the
young alike-a pestilence loathsome in its
manifestations and terribly fatal in its effects.
We can never fully appreciate the great
need that exists for tender care for the sick,
for proper food and clothing, and for those
delicacies so essential to the comfort of the
sick and the dying, or
how pressing the need of burial
is for those who have fallen victims to the
the fell destroyer. But we should not fail
of our duty in this emergency. We must
oome to the front with as much as we can
spare from our own needs, and do unto the
South as we would have her do to US if we
we're similarly afflicted. Fill the contribu-
ton boxes to the brim. Every penny will
do some good.
