What is Doing in Few Prospects Neal
Bellevue.

The Bellevue Mining Company is
working the Queen of the Hills mine,
one Of its properties. The main shaft
is down III feet and small amount
of ore is on the dump.
The Minnie Moore is working with
a small force-six miners-and plenty
of ore in sight, but of some dozen
good prospects in that locality only
one is being opened.
The Queen of the Hills extensions
are lying idle; also the Honsdale and
Oswego. The latter property, owned
by w .lliam Heating, could, in proper
hands, afford employment to a dozen
men. 1t is stated that the Deadsho,
mine will be started up, also the Belle
vue s,nelter, in few days-as soon as
Superintendent Johnson arrives from
New York.

ON THE SAWTOOTH GRADE.

A Stage Coach Thrown From the Grade,
And the Driver ami Two Passengers
Hurt.
About II o'clock last night horse
man arrived from Ketchum for Drs.
Miller and Brown, whose services
were required at Ketchum, and DR..
Brown, with Mike Hynes as escort,
started out.
From the messenger it was learned
that at ) o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Haley and Sawtooth coach which
left Haley yesterday morning had,
while descending the grade in the
Sawtooth mountains from the Gaena
divide to the Salmon river fiat, upset
and seriously injured the driver, Yves.
Grover, who had his right ankle
broken and received severe bruises.
A Chnaman passenger was seriously
hurt, having his ribs broken, and, it is
feared, received serious injury to the
brain, while another Chinanan was
badly bruised and shaken up. \
packer named Clark, Of Vienna,
jumped from the coach in time to
save himself.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of the king bolt in descend
ing steep grade. The stage ran
upon the wheelcrs and the lead bars
ran upon the leaders, causing them
to become unmanageable and break
the lead bars and the pole and to
swing the stage out of the track and
over the grade. The driver jumped
as the stage went over.
Stage Agent Moore was notified,
and brought Grover to ketchum--
which occupied all yesterday after
noon and up to late in the evening.
l'he mail was sent forward and
Grover also, the latter to the Miners
Hospital this morning, where he is
resting easy under DR.. Miller's care.
Agent Moore returned this morning,
to look after the Chinaman.

DOWN By THE BRIDGE.
Tie Road lmpassable-A Tie Jam,

lie lSOau I1IpAssaDie-A 1Ie JAN.
Tie road to Bullion is impossible
for heavy teams. The river has taken
ID turn and at point where the old
sawmill was located and where the
ditch was dug to run saw logs to the
log -way, the current has cut the bank
out. \ stream Of water has also
washed down diagonally across tie
grade and cut a deep trench across
the road, and several tons of earth
have slid into tine roadway. This
morning some 500 ties had been
iammed in pile between the new
and old bridges, and threatened t.
carry away the new piers. Don
Mckay, with rope around his body
entered the stream, broke the boon
and started the ties on down stream
to the railroad company's boom.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Robbery Of the United States Mail De
fined.

In the case of the United States
against Jack King and William
Adams, tried at Malad City at the
session of the District Court just
closed, for the crime of robbery of the
United States mail, Judge Morgan
ruled,. substantially, that where de-
tendant took possession of IA stage con.
tanning the United States mail, intcn-
tionally and violently against the will
Of the carrier, they tn rely comm tied
the crime Of rohhing as to everything
contained in saiu stage, and tina con-
,equently they robbed the carrie, OF
the United States mail, if said mail
was in said stage.
The defendants were found by the
jury guilty Of robbing carrier of the
United States mail; and the jury
further found that the life Of the car
rier was placed in jeopardy. The SEN
tence of the defendants was under
the laws Of the United States, inn
prisonment for life, the only sentence
which could be given under the ver-
dict There was no other evidence
before the jury of rohbing the United
States mail than the forciblc and in
territorial possession OF the whole
stage.
The decision is believed by able
LAWYERS to be correct Ole, and it is
of great interest to people travelling
in stages, and to the people OF the
Territory in general. 1t is well that
it should be publicly known that
stage robbers in Idaho will be vigor.
ously pursued, prosecuted and pun
ished to the extent of the law.

The SciOpticOn Entertainment.

This entertainment, which was given
in the schoo!house last Saturday even
ing, proved quite enjoyable. BY
means of a small lantern the manager
threw upon canvass some 100 pictures
which included scenes in the Yosemite,
the Big Trees, San Francisco, and
other places in California and Nevada,
and the audience whiled away an hour
or SO very pleasantly. The show was
we'll worth the price of admission,
which was only 50 cents.

SUNDAYS RACES.

An Extra Day at the Track-Three
Spirited Races-One Of Them Dead
ThrOw-OR.
According to announcement Satur-
day, some very exciting races took
place yesterday afternoon, at the Hal
ley track.
THE FIRST RACE.
Was for half mile and repeat, two
hest in three, for $1,000, or 5000 a
side.
The first heat between Pinto Horace
and Sky Rocket was very close, and
won by Pinto Horace.
Second Heat-The horses got off
we'll together and ran close until COM
ing to the home stretch, when Sky
Rocket pulled ahead and won the
heat easily by 20 open feet.
Third Heat.-Sky Rocket took the
lead and won the heat easily bv two
lengths, and was awarded the race.
SECOND RACE.
This was a match race between
Nelson's horse Emmett, and Stinson's
horse Whitefoot, for 500 side, $50
yards dash. When the horses went
to the score to start, it is claimed by
the Jockey Club that Nelson, who had
his son as rider of his horse, showed
an evident reluctance to getting the
horses off together, and tried to hold
his own horse back until Lufkins,
the starter, finally compelled him to
let him go and start was made, the
horses getting off together in good
shape. The spectators and the Jockey
Club also claim that it was very evi.
dent that Nelson's horse, while rum
ming, was being "puled'' with the in
tention of throwing the race. The
horses finished very close heat,
Whitefoot coming under the line only
'ix inches ahead A protest was i'm
mediately entered by a number of gen.
tlenen to the Judges at the way Mel
sons horse had been ridden, and Mr..
Pinkston refused to pay any of the
pools. The matter yet remains in
allegiance until the judges shall decide
whether the race shall be run over or
all bets be declared off.
1t may be stated, further, that as
soon as the race was over Mr.. Pink
ston offered to Nelson to change hor-
ses with him and bet him $500 against
S4OO that he would make Emmett run
again and win the race, but Mr.. Mel
son did not accept the offer.
The races have proved grand sue
cess. Pools sold well, gate money
rolled in, the booths, stands and
games made money, and the HALEY
races will in future be an event Of
assured success. The association in
tend most emphaticaliy to prevent al
races where any effort is made to
''throw" then. None but fair, square
races will be permitted on the Jockey
Club track, under any circumstances !;
nor will any pools be paid unless the
races have been squarely run. If any
funny business is attempted. every
man buying pools will get his money
back, as long as the Haley races are
held at the club track and the Jockey
Club have them in charge. Yester-
days races were not under the con-
troll Of the Jockey Club.
THIRD RACE.
A saddle race between Black Hawk
Scott and Professor. The latter, en-
tered by Stinson, was ridden by Eddie
Riddle, and won the race and the
purse easily.

Tho Mason Valley Fair.

At the approaching Mason Valley
Far, the first ever held in that section
of the State, athletic sports will be a
feature, and there will probably be
many wrestlers and boxers present.

Valley, has accepted the challenge
issued by George Box to glove con,
test 1t is also reported that State
Senator ST Ryan had accepted chal-
lenge of Boz: besides which B. X.
Morley, of Candelaria publishes a
challenge defying Box to trial with
the gloves. The horse-racing will
also be an important feature of the
Fair, as the Valley possesses some of
the finest specimens of horse flesh in
the State Flrginia Chronicle.
George Box will have his hands full
if any more experts come after him.
Gus Brann accepted his challenge
first, and will get the first chance. In
regard to the card of Thomas Mackey,
of Luning, published in a contempor-
airy, Mr.. Box says that he die not con.
template boxing with more than one
man at the Fair, but if Mr.. Mackey is
anxious to meet him, he will box him
in Hawthorne any time before the Fair
for Sl00 side, and will put up for.
felt of $50 with Nerden & Turcott. If
Mr. Mackey means business he will
cover this forfeit.

HYP0CRITE.

The man Nelson, who is so promi
nent in the scheme to blackmaiI
Sharon, writes a letter TO the papers
( in which he shows himself to be what
he himself would write "a -
hypocrite." In his letter he quotes
Shakespeare, or, rather, misquotes
u him, thus;
Come on Maeduff,
ana -, be 20 who FIRST cries, Hold,
1t is not henous literary crime TO
to make a mistake in one or two words
OF quotation, but it is generally ad-
Hitted that writers should not quote
unless they use the exact expression
. or show TINT they are Intentionally
altering the phraseology for particular
effect, but it Is the acme of absnrdity
to use blanks 20 indicate the words in
quotations from Shakespeare which
are now regarded as profane and
wicked expressions. 1t is but SELF
conscious writer, one who knows his
own low imagination, who will use
blanks in any case where it is neces-
sary to use disagreeable word, but
what should be thought of the man
who will - Shakespeare. Suppose
he had had occasion to write
@ "out damned spot"
lie would have put it in this way:
"Out --- spot"
And the poet, whose grave is about to
be opened, would not be able to tell
what kind of spot was meant, should
he come out Of the tomb as though
awakening from trance, and en-
dDwet with all his keen perception,
but with the recollection of what he
had written obliterated.
After reading his mealy quotation,
1t 10 not surprising to see him describe
himself as an unchallenged and un-
ehallengeable man."
Everybody knows that Mr. Sharon
sometimes adds grace and strength to
his speeches by explosives, which are
supposed to be of more use in the
vocabularies of bull-whackers and
steamboat mates than anywhere else,
and!if the hidden depths of his feel.
ings are sufficiently stirred, he may
write an answer in which it would be
appropriate for him to say
"Down, down to HI and say l sent thee
there"
With all his faults, however, it is
only fair to presume that he would NOT
call marked attention to the profanity
oy putting in the --, but would
spell the word in full, as though be
meant it and was not afraid to say
what he meant.

The Board Would Not stand the
Raise.


Raise.
The proceedings before the Board of
Equalization, although made up of
much argument, were amicable enough
until Dan Rohb came forward with
petition tc have the valuation of his
horse raised. He said that the Assessor
knew he was trying to sell it for
1910, and that it was worth that much,
but in spite of his protests, only valued
it at 800, Wherefore petitioner
prayed that the valuation be raised to
at least $500, as tie preasent low fig
ure interfered with the sale. The
mem bers of the Board had seen The
horse and would not stand the raise.
They were sitting as Board of
Equalization, and could not consist.

value. Mr. Robb said he saw whisper.

on foot to get that horse from him at
less than its value, and he didn't be-
lieve the Commissioners were judges
