That Ese1nonstrance.

We learn from Silver City that a
few friends of Trask, the slayer of
Brown, are endeayoring to get up a
remonstrance against the reappolnt-
ment Of Judge II Il. Prickett as Assoc
ciate Justice for this District. The
alleged reason is the refusal of the
Court to place Trask under bonds af-.
ter his recent trial in Owyhee county.
The fact that the remonstrance was
not signed by any but few interest
ed parties and personal friends of the
prisoner shows that Judge Prickett
did right, and that his action will be
upheld by every law-abiding citizen
throughout the Territory. Whether
Prickett will take any notice OF the
remonstrance we cannot say; but, we
believe, if a petition in his favor was
necessary, there are not twenty men
in his District who would not cheer
fully sign it.
P.S. Since putting the above in
type the news Of Prickett's confrma-
ton has been received.

GOD River.

A private letter to US from Wood
river says that an expert representing
a wealthy company in New York, has
lately bought eleven quar,z lodges on
Lower Wood river These mines had
all given hattering assays, samples
having been sent East to be tested
The result of tie short run IF the Ell
mira Company at Banner last Summer
has awakened a deep interest in the
mines Of Idaho abroad, aud, no doubt,
brought about the purchase noted
above. Eastern capitalists, having
received undisputable evidence of the
richness and extent Of the quartz
miiles of the Territory. will invest
largely in the same during the coming
season. We are pleased to see the
real value Of other districts becoming
known to the outside world, aud we
feel confident from actual results pro

Norman Bucks Conformation.

The friends of Mormon Buck-and
he has many-are glad to hear of his
confirmation as Associate Justice of
the First Distric,. There is great con-
tidence among those who know him in
his ability and integrity, and it is pre-
dcted that he will discharge the du-
ties of his new position well and faith
fully. We understand that Ainslie,
our Delegate in Congress, labored
faithfully to prevent the confirmation
Of Buck, bat even his great influence
at Washington proved unavailing.

The Iowa co.apany,s Mines.

Hon. J. Y.R. Witt, one Of the own
ers Of the Iowa mill aud mines at
Quartzburg, paid Us d pleasant visit a
few days ago. He Informed US that
work is being pushed ahead on their
principal mine, the east extension Of
the Gold Hill, by running tunnel on
the vein to tap the pay schultz. Ore
has been reached. and its extent win
soon be known They have a good
body Of ore near the surface, but it
cannot be taken out till spring. as
there is no place to dump it, and tie
tramway to the mill being covered
with snow. The property is in good
hands, and the mines will be devel~
oped as rapidly as possible.

WAGON ROADS.


Last year we poined out the neces-
sity for the rapid growth Of Ada ana
Boise counties of the construction al
wagon road from Banner to Bonanza
City. After speaking of the mineral
wealthof the country generally through
which the road would pass, and pub
fishing many articles predicting
bright future for the Yankee Fork
country IN particular, the route was
examined BY competent men, who as
certained that the construction Of
good wagon road would not exceed
$4,000, with the chances favorable
for putting it through for much less.
We also gave as our opinion that If
i was not built last year that the ont
let Of that rich mining section would
be by the way of ChalIis, and that III
the future the people Of Bonanza City
would take no interest in commpnica-
ton this way All that we said then
has been verified, and Boise and Ada
counties will regret some day ii the
near future their neglect in not build
ing the road as soon as it was known
that the mines Of the Yankee Fork
District were rich. A good road was
last fall constructed from CllaIHs to
Bonanza City, and most of the thou
sands Of men who will rush in there
as soon as spring opens will 60 BY
that route. The road from Banaer
would not only have secured the tray-
Lei, but would have caused prospecting
TO be prosecuted on the whole route,
and several rich mineral fields, we are
confident, would have been opened ere
this. A road from this place
TO Bonanza City would be on
the belt all the way, and pass near
the Lake District mines, in the Saw
Tooth range. The discovery Of mines
over the whole route would have been
the result, communication much short
er, more inducements for the early
completion OF the Utah q Northern
railroad to Boise City, mining experts
pass through here and see our mines,
our farmers have additional and good
markets for their produce, industries
OF all kinds spring up, and the coun-
try be In a fourishing condition. The
building Of the road early this year
would be good investment for South
eru Idaho, although great portion
of tie travel would be lost. There is
nothing that does more for mining
!cuuatry than good roads connecting
the different camps, aud it is to be
hoped that the last opportunity will
not be allowed to pass The Basin,
( which is Of great Importance to Boise
City, is in the heart of the mining re-
gion, aud connection should be made
with every district as soon as posi-
/ ble.

y. q. ABBOTT.

Mr. Donald Grant, IN his letter pub
ilshed IN this issue Of the WoRLp.
speaks highly Of Mr.. Il. g. Abbott as
z mining expert and gentleman. The
people Of this place know that what
ne says is true. Had sucn men as
Mr Abbott been sent here BY compa-
MES who lost large amounts of money
IN mining speculatiois during tile first
excitement they would have got hold
OF good mines, instead Of "wild cat,n
and Boise county would now be known
IN the East and West as d great min
ing country. But they were unforta-
nate enough. to select men who never
saw mines to make purchases, and
quartz veins containing nothing were
heavily "salted" and sold to them for
enormous prices; mills were erected,
millions Of money spent, and when
crnshings were made the companies
discovered they were the victims Of
huge swindles. The folly of such a
course in purchasing mines has been
50 repeatedly laid before capitalists,
who have learned good deal by ex-
perience, that they are only willing TO
trust practical miners to do their pur-
chasing. In consequence Of this min
ing is emerging from the speculative
to the industry, and is receiving con-
siderable attention from capitalists
Mr.. Abbott owned and worked quartz
mines IN California several years ago,
and has had great deal of expert
ence in that branch Of mining. Com
panies organizing in the East would
do well to secure him as expert, be-
Cause he understands his business too
well to be yietinized When he rec
commended the purchase Of the Ban
ner mines to the Elnira Company he
had thoroughly examined them and
knew what he was doing. His opin-
ions Of the other mines in the county
have been proven good by the latest
developments. Our people have inn
plicit confidence III his ability. and
would assist him ia every way. Stock
in a company with him at it's head
would advance, instead of depreciate.
We have no motive in recommending
him except the interests of the coun-
try, which should always be looked to
in preference to that Of any individu-
AL What we want is paying mines
in the haHds Of men WHO have the
means to push ahead and build up the
country, and for this end we have al
ways worked.
