Governor, how about the Republican claim
That owing To the Independent movement in
Florida, they will carry the State at the next
general clCction:"
We have a small organization of lndepend-

charge of the Republican party-in other words,
they want the Republican leaders TO furnish the

tons bring out good men both for Executive and
Congress (which | have no doubt they willy, the
State can be easily carried. We have had a dl-
vision IN the Democratic ranks on The question
Of calling Constitutional Convention one por
ton desiring The call To be made in accordance
with the prescribed terms of the present Consti-
tuition regulating the same; the other portion, be-
hevlng in the sovereignty of the people, think
that IA call made by the Legislature outside OF the
terms OF the present Constitution if ratified by

been made i'll accordance with the Constitutional
requirements, and there Will be no longer di

superior to those which stood in the
same locality before the fire. At that
time there was not fireproof build
ing in the block; now three f;reproof
buildings are in course of construc-
ton, namely: Burkhart & Co.'S, Mrs.
Bache's, and French & Stinson's, be-
sides two or three others, among
which is a new bakery for Fred. Sher-
man, which is to be two stories high,
and IA by Al feet. With the 2O-foot
addition in the rear the new bakery
will be Ga feet deep, besides the oven

NJ. NJ. Moore, Division Superintend-

pany, returned to. day from trip to
Challis, Bayhorse, and that section OF
country, which he took in company
with Mr.. Dickinson, of the firm of y.
T. Bramble & Co. They found all the
mining and smelling enterprises in
that section prospecting, and that all
who intended working all winter had
already laid in their provisions and
supplies. There will therefore not be
enough hauling to do up Trail ere k
to Chall's to justify going to the en-
pense of keeping the road open, and
the new road will the relcro not lie
travelled this winte: unless mail route
should be established over it. But
early next spring the road will be
Travelled, and from that time on it will
be constantly used.

JUDGE PRICKEr.

| ~ssN WSV uV1 III "a yOuT( WAS
neutrality-suspicious. Living IN
Boise, he Will, In Future, Spend Mas,
Of His Time Here.
The October term of the Second
Judicial District Court was BROUGHT r.
close last evening, at 7 o'clock, and
aboat an hour later Judge Prickett
left for his home in Boise.
Just before leaving Judge Prickett
dropped into the TINES Office, to bid
"Good-by," and willingly stated his
opinion Of the term that had just ex.
pred. 1t had been very unsatis-
factory term to him. The first two
weeks of the term had been fritte,ed
away by the attorneys; and, later on,
when the criminal business came on,
and prisoner after prisoner demurred
to the indictments drawn up by Dis
tr'ct Attorney Bruner, and escaped
from justice on legal technicalities,
the feeling was not improved, either
with the Judge, the attorneys, or the
citizens at large.
The Court had not cleared the cal.
endar, but it had disposed of all cases
demanding immediate attention. At
the next term of the Supreme Court
there may be third term fixed for
the Second District. This would be
IN February, and exclusively law
term. The other terms would proba-
bly, remain as now, in June and Octo-
Der. But the next term would be un.
der another Judge, as he was about to
leave tie bench by reason of the ex-
piraton OF his term of office, and he
would not seek re appointment and
hoped that he would not be re.ap-
pointed. He felt that eight years was
as long as any lawyer could be *
pected to remain on the bench in a
Territory, where the pay is so insig-
nliicant.
Judge Prickett will attend our fu
ture terms of Court here, but as a
practic'ng attorney, and although he
will live at Boise he will doubtless
spend his springs and summers here.

A New Process for the Treatment OF
Copper Ore.

George w. Cranston, of this city,
about two months ago, invented pro.
cess by which he expects to reduce a
ton OF crude copper ore-no matter
what its percentage in copper-at a
cost rot exceeding s. per ton. His
process includes the separation of sill
yer and gold from copper, while the
latter is being dissolved. This is
purely teaching process, which is
neither more nor less than sulphuric
acid bath, the bath being given the
raw, unroasted ore as it comes from
the battery. Mr.. Cranston is still ex.
perimenting, but will shortly apply for
"a United States patent-after getting
which he will apply for patents in for.
eign countries.

marvellous. The other night the
ketchum band were playing in the
street in front Of the postoffice, at

band had been playing in the street,
in front Of the Office instead of II
miles away.
Last evening, H. F. Steward, AS
sistant Local Manager at Ketchum,
volunteered to play cornet solo. He
played "Home, Sweet Home!" stand
ing about two feet away from the
transmitter, and every note was dis
tinctly heard in HALEY by those who
happened to be in tie Central Office

Since the reduction of the rate Of

he finds that so many more letters are
written now than heretofore, and 50
much matter that formerly went un-
