wrote letter to the Yankee Fork
Herald, and his nom ne plume is Gus
ticc, in regard to the murder OF Fred.
Wallbaum by the assassins McLane and
Mcintyre, who are now in Jail under
sentences of death for the crime. and the
letter is followed by piece of poetry,
written by McLane, both Of which throw
all the blame Of the murder ON Mcintyre.
Although "Justice's" letter contains
many mistatements and was written for
the purpose of leading outsiders away up
in Idaho to believe McLane greatly
wronged man, and is full of Injustice"
toward Mcintyre, it states the truth
when it says that great prejudice existed
in Phoebe against McLane at the time OF
trial. But who caused this prejudice?
Was it not McLane's attorney. who went
around the streets telling that he was 60
ing to chang Mcintyre and get his man
clear" and at the same time insinuating
McIntyre's attorney knew nothing about
law? We leave the public to answer the
question. The letter states: sit will
be seen at once that what the prosecution
failed to draw out OF witness against
McLane, McIntyres counsel did for
them, and vice versa" That "vice
versa" is not correct. McIntyres coun-
sci did do so, and McLane, ST., who was
probably well-drilled witness, and who
had testified throughout the trial that
Mcintyre showed him the "check" first,
acknowledged that his own son had first
shown him the check. All that McLane's
counsel "drcw out" went to convict his
client, and the evidence traced the muir
der to McLane's hands. Though Nc
Lane is an assassin, "squaw man" yet

racity and honesty is far better than that
of Justices" and the public respect

HENsLEY NINE. There is considerable
excitement in Highland and at Bristol
over the opening out of the Hensley, a
new location adjoining the Mendha on
the west, in Highland District. In the
past few days fine ledge has been de-
veloped, which has astonished the ia.
tives--not for its size alone, but for the
richness and variety Of its ore--the vein
showing a true assure and pronounced by
all to be the most regular ever seen in the
country. The incline shaft, after few
feet in depth, showed up five.foot vein
of quartz, averaging $45 to the ton, but
the popularity of this vein is the great
amount of mineral which it contains sepa-
rate from the gang, and this ore COM

way into the thousands. The ore is sepa-
rated into two distinct classes; the metal
is assorted as first, and the quartz as sec.

two shipments have already been sent to
the Hillside furnace, working $3l4.89 in

the opinion of Manager Howell, of the
Hillside, is that there is every chance for
it opening out into bonanza.
RAYMOND & ELY. -Henry Raymond,
with a corps Of able assistants, is now en-.
gagged in the profitable employment of
cleaning up the 30-stamp mill. He is do

portion we do not know. 1t is expected
to pay well however. During the past

personal property may be avoided if
possible.
New Locations. location has been
been made on the hill north of town by
Matt Rogers and VIM. Taylor. From
the top rock they have obtained assays of
over $40, and are confident that large
body Of ore is lower down and for that
reason intend sinking shaft 100 feet in
depth to get at it. That hill has hitherto
been supposed to contain only lime stone,
but the boys think otherwise and are CO.
ing at the work with confidence.
CHLoRIDING.--Quit number of the
boys have turned in and gone to chlorid.
ing in the verious mines, some of which
are opening out nicely. Many of the
ehloriders are reaping handsome reward

JUST the thing for Phoebe and will be the
means OF opening up several valuable
