moment clearinghouse struck light
and drawing some papers from his
pocket set fire to them, and the glare
OF the flames frightened the wolves.
This gave him time to mount his
shoes, and turning them down the
steep mountain side he flew forward

nothing of the course before him.

angry snarl told him that the animals
were again upon his track. In about
twenty seconds he had placed half a
mile between himself and pursuers,
and as he rode out into the valley he
beheld light only short distance
ahead. Screaming for help he pushed
on and was soon met by the inmates
of Virgil Lambs cabin. AS thew
came up to him he tainted from ex-
haustion and was carried in and cared
for by Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb. The
wolves came close to the cabin but
after few bowls they retraced their
steps and disappeared in the darkness.

Ii Is not very many months ago
since we heard, at an entertainment
the above words uttered by one of our
fashionable young ladies. A gentle
man and lady were walking up the
aisle to take their seats, when lady
visitor to our town asked her compan-

following tribute to the noble "art pre-

Trvf
Inc following statement Of notori-.
GUS facts we find in the columns of the
st Louis Post-dispatch:
Some twenty years ago Conkling.
Blaine, Sherman, Allison, Window and
Wilson were all Republican members.
Of the House together. They were all
poor at that time-very poor. Blaine
IS now millionaire; Allison, If Iowa,
In the Senate, is another millionaire:
Sherman is trebly millionaire; Win
dom is millionaire; Wilson also got
to be very rich; Roscoe Conkling-the.
abIest, greatest, proudest Of them all
is poor to-day"
These six public men, all Republi-
cans, are nearly Of the same age. and
they have all been engaged in active.
politics since they entered Congress
together. Five of them, pursuing the
same career, and with no opportunity
to acquire fortune by any regular pro-
fession, have become very wealthy,
tour OF them being reckoned as mil
lionaires.
Mr.. Conkling alone of the six, with
the same chances before him, concern
ed in the same legislation, and more
conspicuous and influential than the
others, is in Strengthened means, and
goes back to the law to earn an hon.
orable livelihood.
This contrast is striking, but 1t is
eminently to the credit of the former
Senator from New York, VITO what
ever may have been his faults as a
leader, was ne, err accused of venality.
and whose whole record in Congress
is unstained.
Blaine, Allison, Sherman, Wilson
and Window, on the other hand, have
all been Investigated in one form or
another, and they have all needed
"yindication." Their lives and their
success reveal the sources of wealth
at Washington, and make plain the
character of Legislation by which.
needy Congressman have become mil
lionaires.

The solid Truth,
sunshine

The situation on the Comstock is
very mysterious. For about two years
1t has been claimed that 70 rich or ex.
tensive ore bodies have been struck
and yet world of treasure has been
expended in carrying on the under
ground workings from one end of the
lead to the other. At last the Gold
Hill mines are flooded, as we believe
Intentionally, and at the north end the
operations are reduced to minimum.
Very few people really believe that the
Comstock has thus suddenly ceased to
contain treasure that will authorize
mining operations and even handsome
dividends. The situation is believed
to be wholly artificial. The Miners
Union is thought to be in the way of
Mackay and Fair, and it's disorganiza-
ton has been determined upon by min
ing operators. The Sutro Tunnel op-
erations have suddenly stopped, al
though if driven west it would pass
through most promising country.
During this long stagnation on the
Comstuck few mines have been yield
ing what is called low grade ore,
which is crushed and reduced in such
a manner that very few persons know
what the average value of the ore is.
1t is believed, however, that fair
quantity Of $50 rock has been con-
stantly produced Thus has been in
augurated a system of working the
ores of the Comstock in such a man
ner that the stockholders generally
reap no advantages from it whatever.
No wonder that the paying of assess
ments has ceased, and that many of
our best mines are now on the delin-
quent list. We believe the whole
business to be a swindle. There is
nothing natural or plausible about the
pretended condition of the Comstock:
on the contrary there are many things
which indicate the fact that rich bo-
nanzas are being carefully kept from
the knowledge of the public. Car

The Tie Cutters.


Up on Boulder creek between 80
and 100 men are telling trees and get
ting out ties for the Oregon Short Line.
They have been steadily employed in
this line al! winter and have the banks
of Wood river dotted with piles of ties
all the way from Ketchum to Boulder
GEEK. When the stream rises with
the water from the melting snow the
ties, will be, Aoated down to point
where the raiw az is ia cross the river
and from thence will be laid east and
west on the grades now being made.
The bridge across Snake river at Amer
lean Falls WILDE completed in June
or July and these who have the build
ing of thesrpad under contract aim to
have the ties laid west of Snake river
ready for,the rails by the time the first
locomotive hauls them !, across, the
bridge. The grading between Little
Wood river crossing and Haley will
be begun as soon as the frost is out VI ,

Herald: w. IT. Caste and Tim
Cooper are in from Vienna, Saw Tooth
district. They report everything in
the mining line looking favorable, and
predict a big boom in that section
early in the season. The Mountain
King Mining Co. has purchased the
machinery for 20-stamp mill, which
will be in as early as June. Grading
on the mill site will commence soon
as the weather will permit. There are
about twenty-five buildings completed
in Vienna.
The new strike in the Dickens con-
tinues improving. and large quantities
OF ore is being extracted for ship
ment. tn
Seventy-6ve men are now employed
in the Sawtooth country, and the
force will be increased to 600 as soon
as spring opens.

camp, which is seven miles almost due
west of this city. AS clearinghouse
started down Bullion street toward the
river, mounted upon snowshoes and
the sack of mail swung over his shout.
der he remarked, "a heavy snowstorm
is approaching and must make haste
or III lose the way" The course ta-
ken from HALEY to Bullion by snow
shoes is over the mountains, and the
well worn trail is easily followed ex-
cept during or just after storm, when
fresh snow obliterates the tracks made
by the shoes. clearinghouse had gone
as far as the road which turns off to
the Warm springs, about two miles.
when a binding storm set in blowing
almost gale. All signs of the road
and trail were SION obiteratcd and as
the outline of the mountains were not
dlstlngulshable through the descend
ing snow and sleet, clearinghouse was
forced to go considerably by guess.
MIscalculating the distance over which
he had traversed he turned off the
road too soon, assembled the bleak wild
mountains to the north, and must have
followed the precise course of the I'M
fortunate Allen who persisted on a
similar trip few weeks ago. Upon
reaching the highest point no familiar
land mark met his vision and not
daring to descend without being
sure of the way, he wandered about
for hours in search of some clue to
his whereabouts. Night set in cold
and dreary and, as he was about to
give up from exhaustion and Law
down to rest the dismal howl of a
wolf was borne to his ear. Reused
by this ominous sound, fear leant
strength to his weary muscles and
he started along the ridge-he knew
not whittier. Soon other wolves
were heard and from the distinctness
of the sounds he knew they must
have scented him and were on his
trail. Now thoroughly awakened
to sense of danger he hurried for
ward, wildly peerIng out in the dark
ness hoping to see the friendly light
of some rancher's or miners cabin.
Nearer came his pursuers, and as no
light appeared the bowling, snarling
fiends upon his track seemed to be
sounding his death knell. Soon he
could hear their loud breathing and
the pat, pat, pat of their many feet
as they came swiftly over the frozen
snow. With his eyes staring wildly
into the great black. blank before
him, and the perspiration issuing
from every pore like rain he FASTENED
At last he felt instinctiyely
that the game was up, that his pursu-
ers were upon him and as he was
about to halt and face them a wolf
sprang upon the heel of his snowshoe
and threw him. In his great fright
he had not thought of dropping his
heavy burden of mail, but as be fell it

lies they can get in order to procure
cheap labor The Chinese work
for about One-half what whites do and
every dollar they get, with the excep-
ton of what they necessarily have to
spend with the whites, goes back to
China. Two-thirds of the crimes COM
mitted, more especially on the Pacific
coast are caused directly,or indirectl y,
by this Internal pest, Chinese. If the
people of the East we're afflicted with
this race of people, as is this coast,
they would say, to man, "the Chi
nese must CO." There are thousands
of white laborers to do the work now
done by Chinese, who would spend
their money in the country; and again,
would there be as many tramps, beg
ging their bread from door to door?
Many of these men are compelled to
tramp on account of their not being
able to proucure work; and all this
and great deal more, is attributable
to the lamentable fact that these &C.
cursed Chinese are allowed to come to
this country.
w. G. TATRo writes to the Statesman
from Rocky Bar, that Rufus Lester an
expressman between that place and
Atlanta, was caught in snow slide
five miles out from the bar, on the 18th
Immediately on hearing Of it by the
carrier from Atlanta, a large force of
men armed with shovels, started out
on snowshoes in one of the worst kind
of storms, and after hard trip and a
long nights search, succeeded in find
ing him covered up about six feet
deep. His remains were brought to
Rocky Bar, where his wife, formerly
Mrs. Julian Hill), is stopping. De-
ceased was an old resident of the lat
ter place, and a native of Kewamee,
Illinois, where his parents are living.
His age was 81 years.
HE Aralanche mentions the birth of
half-blooded descendent of the Flow
cry Kingdom, at Silver City, on the
22d. One of the Aualanche boys call
ed on the young stranger and found
him flourishing. The reporter says it
is the exact picture of a gentleman
whose name is withheld for polite
reasons, and if he will leave box of
cigars at that office, the Avalanche
promises to never compliment him by
telling how much that child looks like
its father. The boys expect that little
item will bring them in hundred or
so boxes Of fragrant Havanas, and
perhaps it will. The young American,
with copper,colored stain, might very
appropriately be called a Newcomber.
BOISE COUNTY promises to be liveler
the coming summer than it has been
for several years. Many of the quartz
mines near this place which have been
prospected during the past winter
have proved TO be good mines, and
there are many others which, if they
were only opened up, would no doubt
prove equally as good. Many of the
lodges in this section which have not
been considered worth looking after
on account of their not be-
ing rich on top, will be prospected this
season. Together with Gambrinus,
Shaw's Mountain, Centreville, Squaw
Creek and othe districts, we may ex-
pect lively times in Boise county this
season.

A Promising Mica Mine.

On last Monday afternoon we paid a
visit to the Hoodo mica mine, located
about two miles southwest Of town.
This property is owned by Messrs. Gooch
and Campbell, and was located by the
latter gentleman the 9Th Of last August.
The property lays on a ridge just east OF
Reder's old saw mill location, and il
about $50 or 200 feet above water level.
The lead crops out for a distance of 600
feet and shows the feldspar strongly i'm
pregnated with mica. The work of
development is being pushed on the
southern extremity Of the lead and at
present consists of an open-cut in about
20 feet with an s foot face which is filed
with mica of a good quality. Work on
the north end shows that the lead runs
the entire length Of the property. In
addition to this location they have an
other, the Hoodlebug, adjoining and
running parallel on the east which has
n shaft down about 7 feet showing the
mica in place. With the same amount
Of work done the property il as promis-
ing as any we have seen, and will IN
doubtedly prove a bonanza for the lucky
owners.

The New York mica mine which
Messrs. Overland, Holmes and Ostrom
have had under bond to Mr.. T. q. Wood
bury since about the first Of January,
was, on last Saturday sold to II. G Black
mer x Co., Of Cherokee, Iowa, the pur-
chase price being $1,000. Mr.. Wood
hurry has been figuring on this property
since last April, and has had to contend
with several blackmailing schemes but
has finally come out winner and we are
glad to chronicle the fact. The mine il
one, which, with the same develop.
ments, shows better than any mine We
have seen in the Hills. as We have be-
fore remarked the hill on which the
mine is located is one solid mass of mica,
and will undoubtedly be one Of the best
producing mines in the Southern Hills.
Mr.. Woodbury. will have charge of the
developments and the work Of erecting
a blacksmith shop, cutting house, ETC.,
will commence at once.
