A Description Of the Famous Idaho
Mining District.

Since the wonderful discoveries of
gold in the Sawtooth mining belt, We
have heard but mere outlines regarding
the various camps and vague reports
concerning the vast amount of gold
brought to light. As our mineral re-
sources are of great importance as agri-
cultural, we conclude our readers must
be interested in their Development and
will give space to the following COM
mUnication: In Smiley's canyon we
have the Emma mine, owned by Levi
Smiley, the pioneer location of this
district. The Emma mine has an in
cline shaft upon it to depth of seventy
feet, making a fine showing of high grade
ore. A tunnel has been started which
will tap the vein at depth of 80 feet.
Average assay, from 100 to 300 OF. per
ton, carrying considerable gold. The
next is the Vienna Consolidated group
of mines, comprising the Vienna, JUS
tice and Alturas Work upon these
mines has been
VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTED.
During the season the developments
made showing undvubted permanency of
of the veins and high grade quality of
the ore. Several tons of irst-class ore,
ranging from $50 to 400 ounces to the
ton, having been shipped to Salt Lake
for reduction, leaving large quantities of
second and third-class ore in the ore
yards. The Nellie, Nellie Ex., Hudson
and Saw Tooth, comprise the next group
of mines, owned by L. W. Smith and
others. The Nellie, the first mentioned
mine in this group is by far the strong
est, most regular and best defined vein
in the Smiley camp, having every char
acteristic of true and permanent assure
vein; is bold in its outcrop and carries
the clay salvage usually accompanying a
valuable mine; considerable high grade
ore is in sight and on the dump. But
little work has been done on the other
mines in this group, enough, however,
to show well defined
VEINS OF GOOD ORE.
The Martin, Lion. Lemhi and Montana
forms another group, owned by Jane:
Forgie Co. The Martin and Lion 10
cations have had considerable work don,
npon them. The Lion is parallel veil
to the Vienna, of the Vienna Consoli
dated group. showing large, bold crop
pings Of remarkably rich ore. The "Al
bion' is an extension of Emma mine
and although but limited development
have been thus far made, the albion
bids fair TO rank as one of the foremos
mines of this district. The above in
cludes the principal locations of Smiley
canyon, all of which are easy of APP
proach; fuel, timber, water in album
dance and natural facilities are unsur
passed. From Smiley's we come over T.
Beaver canyon, entering the pleasant
centrally located town of Sawtooth. TIL
Columbia and Beaver mines, owned b
Cortright q Co., of New York, are situ
ated four miles above the town O
Sawtooth. The Columbia has been ex
tensively explored dnring the past sum

Thomas K. Il. Stebbing, of Tunbridge
Wells, England, writing upon fascina-
ton. seems to strike upon its rationale i'll
these words I'm moral rs distinct from
physical perils there is good reason to
suppose that too close construction OF
thought upon danger has a tendency to
overpower the will and bend 1t to the
commission of the very acts which the in
tellect pronounces unchoiceworthy. But
the acts so committed carry with them
present qualification. To use the com.
mon smile, men fly at them as moths at
candle, not because they are panic
stricken, but because the sense of the
danger is lost in the pleasure that at
tends it."

DON


This is Don, the dog of dogs. sir,
just as lions outrank frogs, SIR
Just as eagles are superior
To buZZards and that tribe INFERIOR
He's a shepherd lad beauty
And to praise him seems duty,
But il puts my pen to shame. sir,
When his virtues | would name sir;
"Don! come here and bend your head now
Ietus see your best well-bred bowl
Was there ever such a creature?
Common-sense in every feature!
Don! rise up and look around YOU!
Blessings on the day We found you.
Sell him, we'll, upon my word, sir,
That's motion too absurd, sir,
Would sell our little Ally,
Barter Tom. dispose of Sally,
Thank you ia negotiate
For my wife, at any rate
Sell our Dom you re surely joking.
And It's fun at us you're pokins
Twenty voyages we've tried, sir
Sleeping, waking, side by side. sir,
And Don and will net divide. sir;
He's nv friend that's why love him
And no mortal dogs above him!
he prefers life aquatic
But never dog was less doSmatlc.
Years ago. when l WAS master
OF tight brig called the Castor,
Don and were bound for Cadiz,
With the loveliest OF ladies,
And her boy-a stalwsrt, hearty,
Growing, one year infant party.
Full Of childhood's myriad grsces,
Bubbling sunshine in our faces
As we be wled along SO steady,
Halfway home, or more, already.
How the sailors loved our darling.
No more swearing, no more snarling;
on their backs, when not ON duty,
Round they bore the blue-eyed beauty
Singing shouting, leaping, prancing-
All the crew took turns i'll dancing;
Every tar played Punchinello
With the pretty. laughing fellow:
Even the second mate gave sly winks
At the noisy midday high jlnhs.
Never was u crew SO happy
With a curly-headed chappy
Never were such sports gigantic,
Never dog with JOY more autic.
While thus jolly. all together,
There blew up a chance of weather,
Nothing stormy, but quite breezy.
And the wind grew damp and wheezy'
Like gale in too low spirits
To put forth one half its merits.
But, perchance, dry-land ranger
Might suspect some kind OF danger.
Soon our staunch and gallant vessel
With the waves began to wrestle.
And to jump about trie,
Sometimes kicking. like rifle
When tbs slightly overloaded
But by no means nigh exploded.
Twas the coming on of twilight.
As we stood abaft the skylight
Scsmperng round to please the baby,
lOld Bill Benson held him, maybe
When the youngster stretched his fingers
Toward the spot where sunset fingers,
And with strong and sudden motion
Leaped into the weltering ocean.
What did Don do" Can't you guess, sir
He sprsng also-by express sir
Seized the infants little dress. sir.
Held the baby's dress up boldly
From the waves that rushed so coldly:
And in Just about minute
Our boat had them safe within II.

Don and love one another

Two Figures OF Christ.

Our guide, rather venerable person
with q shutting gait, then conducted us
through the trim and yet luxuriant gar
den up the sleeps to Calvary mount
crowned by a crucitix upon which the
counterfeit of our Lord appears. This
poignant spectacle is set upon a mass of
rocks and the cross stretches far above
the monastery roof and its thickly wood
ed desmesne; the feeling with which one
approaches it is strange one of religious
awe and of the solemnity inseparable
from such an intimate reproduction of
Divine agony. We stood on the steep
rocks at considerable height and en-
joyed the fair view of the spreading
country for miles around, but with it all ,
was feeling such as one experiences on
entering the chamber of death. The
guide then offered to conduct us down
the rocks to the sepulchre, assuring us
there was nothing revolving about the
spectacle. We descened n winding path
to an open space, like the entrance to a
vault, and there lay the dead Christ in
effigy. his breast and hands and feet
bearing the marks of the cruel spikes.
The figure is colored one of plaster
of Paris and some desecrating vandals
have actually clipped off bits of one
hand as souvenirs; the manner in which
the arm Is disposed conceals this mutila-
ton. The sepulchre is furnished with
iron bars and set in rock. We stood be-
fore it with uncovered heads for time,
and then turned away Corr. Pitts

TRAINING A DoG.-A Newfoundland, or
any other dog, should be trained just as
one would child. Train according to
capacity for learning temper and general
disposition. Train according to the re
quirements. If for Il special purpose,
familiarize him with what he must act
upon eventually as his duty. Good 3,
common sense is all important. A large
share of patience is needed in all train
ers. There should be an ingenious
mixture of kindness and prompt decision.
There should also be some severity and
judiciously applied, but no cruelty
under any circumstances. Caress and
otherwise show appreciation of obedience
on the dogs part. Chastise when negli-
gent or disobedient, but do it cody.
Never overlook for the time being, n fault
which should be corrected. This will
spoil any animal intended to trained
properly.

t;en. Hancock was called upon yesterday
by Col. James Cavanaugh of the Sixty

Who served i'll the Ninty seventh New

p!ctcd the party. At q remark 10y Col:
Cavanaugh, deprecating tho course of many
Republican manufacturers in cOercing the
votes Of their employees, Gen Hancock
said !:c had yet to learn Of any
Democratic. independent or other
manufacturer desirious of changing the
present administration of the gov
crnnlcnt having pursued that course.
"fhc coercion OF votcs,' he continued,
''ailects the manhood Of the people, and
| would wish 10 coerced votes cast for me.
lfcmploycd men have not the courage to
resist interference with their freedom ut
the ballot box, it will not be long before
they will be driven to the polls, il any
polls should then exist. The ballot box
should be guarded, and the greater the
danger the stronger SHOULD be the guards.
Liberty is u priceless treasure, gained only
through great trials, and if once lost it can
only ne recained by trials still greater.
The purity oi the ballot box is the only
safeguard of liberty, and when once Sc
c'!rcd it should be the duty OF every voter
to use his best efforts t" preserve that
purity.
