BELLEVUE has little femanine Her
cules III the person of Mrs. Monk.
She walked into the store of Walker
q Hart, says the NeaDs, and casually
admired l85-pound specimen from
the ldahoan mine that was lying on
the counter, and her admiration of the
chunk of ore drew forth remarks from
the proprietors such as "you can have
that for pocket piece if you will re-
move it from the counter, Mrs. Monk"
"Pass the glittering bubble this way
and 'take it away for pocket piece
She picked up the chunk seemingly
without any exertion, made a motion
to toss it into the crowd, but none of
the astonished lookers-on were anxious
to catch it, and they scattered Mrs.
NJ. quietly walked to the street and
laid down the specimen without appa-
rent extra exertion.
We see by the Wood river Ne,os
that Charley Foster, who was employ
ed in the World Office year, and left
here last spring for the galena belt
bent on uncovering a bonanza, has, in
company with his brother John, made
a find On Deer creek that is very
good prospect. The News says "it is
mine in the start, and bids fair to
be big one as soon as the proper de-
velopments can be made. 1t is known
as the "Black Buck" Charley and
John are rustlers, and nothing would
please us better than to soon hear of
the boys figuring in the list of bonan-
"a kings of famous Wood river.
LOCKWOOD has started up his one
stamp mill at the Golden Fleece, near
