II not before. All the lodges in the
three counties above named, except
those on Lower Wood river and prob
ably those at Rocky Bar, cross the
Saw-Tooth Range. where but very It'll
tie prospecting has been done, as
there are no roads in that section, and
mines would have to be enormously
rich to be worked with profit by poor
men; so they have sought other fields.
When the country becomes filed with
lprospectors attention will be turned
to that section, and a mining district
we predict, be opened that will rival
any yet known. johnson, who owns
several mines in the camp named af-
ter him, and situated between Banner
and Atlanta, has been at work for sew
eral years developing them, and has
implicit confidence in their great rich
ness. He has no way of shipping out
lore, but tests it regularly, and is SO
well satisfied with the results that he
stands in readiness to donate $1,000
for the construction Of a wagon road
from Banner to Atlanta.
The mines on Shaw's Mountain,
in this county and between here and
Boise City, were discovered last sum-
mer, but large amount of money has
already been taken out, and great
deal OF very rich ore is being extract
ed from them. Mr.. Plowman's 10
stamp mill is being put up there and
will be pounding away before many
weeks. A large number of mines
have been located in the district, and
the owners are all we'll satisfied with
with them. The Gold Hill, at Quartz
burg, continues to increase in rich
ness with depth, and also the Mann
moth, Oh Summit Flat. The Fall and
Canyon creek lodges, which have yield
ed enormously, are looking as well as
usual; the Sub Rosa lessees are well
satisfied with the ore being takenout by
them; body of good ore has been
struck in the Banner; the Wolverine
and other mines in the Banner Dis
trict are looking as we'll as usual, and
all OF them will be worked more ex-
tensively this year. The Rabbit creek
mine, situated about twelve miles
from here, although but seldom heard
of, is good piece of property, and
Mr.. Frenette, the owner of it, intends
to work it on as large scale as pos
sible. He is now engaged in taking
out ore, which will be crushed as soon
as water starts.
We have mentioned only few Of
the leading mines, as there are great
many that are worked on small scales
proftably. 1t is very plain that the
quartz mining interests of the coun-
ties named above are steadily, but per-
manently, advancing, and few years
hence will be worked b. capitalists,
i
the steam whistle be heard in all the
mountains, and other enterprises I'M
thought of now spring up, and the
country be as prosperous and as well
known abroad as California, Nevada
or Colorado.
Another evidence of permanent
prosperity is the rapidity with which
the farming lands are being located in
all of the valleys, and the steady in
crease of population. The accessions
| will be permanent, as those WAC set
tie in the Territory like the country,
and prepare to make it their future
homes. The Utah & Northcra Rail
road has traversed great deal of
South Eastern Idaho, and work will be

besides others on American biogra-
ply from Mr.. Biglow, and on
American geography from Prof. j..
X. Patterson, President of the Ag-
ricuItural College, Lexington, Ky.
We could extend the list almost
indefinitely, but our readers must
be satisfied from what we have
given above that we have not ex-
aggerated the merits of the publica-
ton. We have to add, in commen-
dation of its execution, that it is
printed on good paper, in bold, leg
ible type, and profusely illustrated
with both wood-cuts and steel en-
cravings of the best quality. Those
which we have seen in illustration
of the two articles headed '.Anat-
omy7 and Botany" are really
wonders of accuracy and delicate
finish.
As there is an agent for the sale
of the work, we need say nothing Of
price and the different styles OF
binding. Mr.. G. p. Wilcox will call
upon our leading citizens and give
them all necessary information, as
well as exhibit specimen volumes
bound in every style. We com
mend him to their favorable con.
sideration.

THE SOUTHSIDE.

We trust that our readers will
give due attention to the cOmmuni-
cation in another column over the
signature Enterprise" Now that
railroad enterprises here are for the
time suspended, we have the time,
and means to give attention to our
local communications, and assuredly
those which connect us with the
districts on the south side of the
Cumberland are among the most
| important. We remember that
when the scheme for bridging Sui
phur creek in the neighbOrhOod of
Port Royal was brought up before
| the County Court, we were surprised
at the purely sectional vote which
was given on the measure. The
northeastern districts voted unani-
mously in favor of the project, but
as those further west and south
were called upon, every vote was
given against it. We are no longer
surprised at this result, for we can
not deny that Enterprise" makes
out fairly his allegation that the
Southside has been neglected in re-
spect to appropriations.
1t is evident that any proposition
hereafter for the Improvement of
highways in the county must be
general and impartial, and we do
hope that broad and cOmprehens-
i've measure of the sort will be pro-
posed at the next meeting of the
County Court. 1t should include a
bridge over Sulphur Fork at Port
Royal, over West Fork at Peacher's
Mill and over Piney Fork on the
Lafayette road. Complete and sat

ferries from the Southside in Justice

THE POSITION IN MAINE.

AS a result of the Maine en-
broglio, that State has had within
the last two weeks three differ
ent gentlemen, each claiming to be
her Governor. First the Fusionist
Legislature met and the Senate
elected as their President Mr.. Lam
son. He claimed to be acting Gov
ernor in virtue of the law in that
State which provides that when
there is a vacancy in the office Of
Governor, the President of the Sen
ate shall be acting Governor until
the vacancy is filed. Chamberlain,
however, the militia chieftain, re-
fused to recognize him as such until
the Supreme Court should decide
that the Senate which elected him
is lawfully constituted; which the
Supreme Court did not, but quite
the contrary.
Then the Democratic portion of
the Legislature elected Mr.. Smith
permanent Governor, and the Re-
publican portion elected Mr.. Davis
to the same office. Gen. Chamber
lain has refused to recognize Mr..
Smith in that capacity, and the
militia throughout the State have
refused to obey his orders. On tle
other hand, since the Supreme
Court has answered the questions
propounded by the Republican
Legislature in a manner favorable
to the claims of that body, Cham
berlain has recognized Davis and
retired from his position assigned to
him by Gov. Garcelon, and the ma
litia are receiving orders from
Davis. The Republicans are in
possession of the State House and
generally, ash appears to us, mas
ters of the situation.

ENCYCLOPEDIA BBITANNICA

We have lately had our attention
called to the last new edition, the
ninth, of this standard encyclopR-
dia. Many years ago we were
familiar with its predecessors in the
days when Dugald Stewart, Sir
James Macintosh, Profs. Airy, Bah
| bage, Sedgwick, ETC., ETC., contrib
uted articles which placed the work
foremost among the records of art,
literature, science and history. 1t
has been the course of its publishers
always to keep it thus in advance
of the intellectual achievements of
the age, and the present invaluable
edition shows by its list of contribu-
tors that those who use it will find
| themselves in direct contact with
the greatest intellects of the day.
For this is no compilation by sec
ond-class men from the works of the
great leaders of thought, but it is
those leaders themselves who in
this work give to It's readers the
last and highest results of their re-
searches. All this reads like a puff,
but those of our readers who know
what is going on in the world of
intellect need only note the follow
ing list of contributors selected from
the first four volumes, in order to
assure themselves that we are tell
ing them the simple truth.
In theology, then, and Biblical
history and literature we have DIR.
Abraham S. Davidson, author of
the bestintrodQction to the Old and
New Testament now extant, and
Prof. Robertson Smith, of Aber-
deem.
In Greek literature are articles
from Prof. j. Stuart Blackie and
Sir Alexander Grant, both of Edin-
boro'.
Many geographical articles are
given by Mr.. Keith Johnson, author
Of the best aliases eXtant; there is
an exhaustive article on anatomy
by Prof. VIM. Turney, and many
on comparative anatomy any phys
iology by Prof. Huxley, and on
natural history by st. George Mi
vart.
In astronomy we need only men,
ton the name of Proctor, and in
comparative philology that of Max.
Muller.

fined themselves to English, Scotch |
and German authors, but have in
instances crossed the At
lantic and tapped the intellect of |
this country. Important papers on

Municipal Election.

We congratulate our felIow-citi-
zens on the election without opposi-
ton Of Capt. Crgsman as Mayor,
with an efficient Board of Aldermen
to constitute the City Council. In
most of the wards there was a close
contest, but our people generally
are satisfied that we have done well,
even those who did not see the man
they voted for elected. The truth
is that there has been a general feel
ing that the affairs Of the city need
business men to conduct them, and
motives which are ordinarily active
in elections have in a large measure
been held in allegiance by that feel
Ing, One Of the wards voted a tie
between Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. John
F'axon, which will throw the cleo
ton into the new Board when it
meets, and in one ward, where the
majority was only one, in favor of
Mr.. John Moore, the election, we
hear, is to be contested by his COM
petitor, Mr.. Rawls. The point
alleged against the election in this
instance was illegal voting. 1t viii
be found that the point was raised
on a misconception, and when 1t is
investigated, we have no doubt of
Mr.. Moore being the Alderman
duly elected.

Reaaing club.

We attended a sitting Of the above
named society on Thursday night,
and were much pleased with the
zeal and ability with which the
members entered into the various
literary discussions mooted. Some
admirable readings Of modern POI
etry were given and some beautiful
vocal music, among which, though
terribly pressed for space, we cannot
refrain from mentioning piaintive
melody sung with fine taste and
feeling by Miss Ellen Kennedy.
The most attractive reading was
that of Tennyson's "Vision of Fair
Women" A gentleman of the soci-
ETY. read the prologue and young
ladies recited the verses appropri-
ated to the various heroines cele-
brated. We can only say that Helen
of Troy, Iphigenia, Cleopatra, Jeph-
tha's Daughter and Fair RosamOnd
had representatives who realized all
that poets have said of their lowell
ness.
The next meeting will be held at
Mr.. A. Howel's residence, the lead
ing work for discussion and criti-
cism being Tennyson's drama
Queen Mary.
We cannot withhold our testi-
Inony to the vast Improvement
these meetings promise to effect in
| the intellectual character Of society.

KiIIebrew's New Map of Tenne,

KiIIebrevV's New Map of Tennessee
Col. KiIlebrew, of the Bureau OF
Mines and Agriculture, has long
been engaged in preparing a new
map of Tennessee, which was a
thing much needed and has now
been admirably supplied. 1t has
long been remarked that the exist
ing maps of the State are full of the
widest errors as regards the config-
uratiOn of mountains and the direo-
ton of water courses, which previ-
Gus Biographies have apparently
evolved out Of their inner conscious
ness. Many of these errors are cor
rected in the present map, the
numerous surveys made for agri-
cultural, geological and mining
reports furnishing the material.
A long list of counties, towns and
other localities has been added, to-
gether with very simple and easy
method of finding any place that
may be wanted. In short, the State
we live in is made comprehensive
to the slenderest capacity, with all
its mountains and rivers, its post
roads, dirt roads, railroads in opera
ton and railroads projected.
This is the most valuable of the
many valuable contributions made
by Col, Killebrew to the history of
the State,
